Aw Stacey, I'm sorry you feel this way x Stupid hormones!!! Just remember that you are not alone, you can always talk to us, here

Is there anything you enjoy doing? Like long walks or yoga or reading? Perhaps now is a good time to try and have a few me-times each day? Just a suggestion x

I think more sleep and relaxing (not stressy) family time will help. I had a chat with my o/h last night and told him and that some of those thoughts were ridiculous we had a giggle actually and he has said he will be mindful and nice and things ..it feels better getting it off my chest otherwise I start to wonder why I'm bottling it up and hiding it ...doing the pretend happy thing can actually make you feel even more alienated and lonely I've found. I feel more grounded knowing that doomy/gloomy inner voice/self talk is just a wave of bad mood and it will pass...it's not truly how I feel.

We are off on a nice walk later today my o/h is taking the afternoon off work xx

Sounds like thing are getting better already, way to go! x

Scan was really good today all systems go for a happy, healthy baby boy

Stacey, I am so sorry to hear how down you have been feeling these hormones really do make us think the oddest things. Although having a little review of life every now and then is perfectly normal too, especially when babies are involved. Your life is changing already, everyone else just has to catch up! they will, and I am sure all will be well. Just trust that you are not alone with the hormones, and good that you talk to your OH about it all. That I would say is key xx

Woohoooo! Happy news xx

 

[MayBMore]

Great news for your scan mumagain and thank you for the kind words x I am also reassured that it's nothing chronic, there are no long-term issues here I'm normally bright and happy and love my life...I guess that's why we can see the funny side of it. I'm not used to all these up and down hormones...I guess misery seeks company - I bet there are some other 'fed up' threads out there to peruse haha

Just wanted to share my recent purchase with you. Ordered it to go into car seat / pram for head support. It arrived yesterday and looks really comfy and like it will do the job. Got it for just over £11 on sale.

Brilliant scans everyone

Stacey hope youre feeling better soon, dont beat yourself up about having a glass of wine & a cig, take each day at a time & remember we are all here for you xx

 

[flisstebbs]

Lovely to see more scans going well.

Stacey, try not to be too hard on yourself. I was totally miserable all of last week, never felt that bad. Wanted to kill hubby most of the week for stupid things. More sleep helps. I'm having a weekly glass of low alcohol wine or beer now anyway. My mw told me last time not to worry about a weekly tipple in fact she though it helped at this stage. I'm sure one ciggie isn't going to do any significant harm either, well dome for packing up 6 months ago.

Can I be added as team blue now?

 

[mumagain@37]

Thought I would share this here too for those not on FB page

 

[CarrieMarshall]

Hi everyone, I had a Great scan yesterday, everything went well and baby is growing as should be. Nice big feet like daddy *gulp*! I struggled to share my picture last night but I have put it on the fb page.

khtw that looks nice, where's it from? Stacey I'm sorry you're having a rubbish time at the moment, hope your funk doesn't last too long xx

 

[Laurajcole]

Big hugs to anyone who needs them. This pregnancy malarkey is hard work - not just physical.

For the last couple of days I keep getting what I can only describe as stitch like pains right over the front of my tummy. They don't last long and it might only be just a stitch but it's a strange place to get it.x

 

[MrsS143]

Im getting regular movements now
Still creeps me out lol

Lovely scan pics everyone x

 

[Georgesmum]

Mine came from 'precious little one' website x

[petchy]

List finally all up to date. Sorry for the delay! Not getting much forum time these days. Possibly best if someone else hosts the tri 3 thread when that time comes?

But hey - here's a quick update from me. 22 weeks today!!!

Time is starting to fly by! Baby is starting to get a lot stronger, so I can now feel her really well despite the anterior placenta. She's also starting to become predictable - 2pm is kicking bonanza pretty much every day

My mum came to visit us yesterday, and had knitted SO many gorgeous baby clothes and a blanket. All labelled "handmade by grandma"

 

[mumagain@37]

Hi Petchy, I can take up the challenge of updates etc for Tri 3 if you like. It makes sense as I am one of the last ones to deliver, so will be able to update all of us hopefully!! you look fantastic!

Today is a drained day! I think all the excitement of the scan yesterday took it out of me! - I have handed in my MATB1 form now, and have all my dates set, so bring on the next 19 weeks, lets hope they are fast and uneventful

How are all you lovely ladies today?

 

[petchy]

Hi Petchy, I can take up the challenge of updates etc for Tri 3 if you like. It makes sense as I am one of the last ones to deliver, so will be able to update all of us hopefully!!

Yay (And I've just realised how close Tri 3 actually is! )

 

[KHTW]

Beautiful bump, Petchy!! And yes, Tri 3 is approaching very quickly, which makes me equsally excited and nervous
