October 2017 Mummies!

[AmyThomas]

Morning,

I've been feeling really anxious too as I've not felt pregnant, or how I would expect to feel when pregnant. My boobs feel fine and have not miraculously grown, there had been no nausea, no strange tastes, no extra sleeping etc. Its only been in the last 3 days I've started to feel a little bit sick, just a bit queasy in the pit of my stomach. I'm still worried about getting too excited, but every time another week goes by I'm a bit happier.

Got my 12 week scan booked for 22 March so hoping after that I can start to relax a bit and enjoy it. I never believed this part of pregnancy could be so anxious and a bit lonely. Will be leaning on your girls a bit. Hope everyone has a great day and those with symptoms don't find them too hard

With my last pregnancy I didn't notice a change in boobs really and so far no difference. I did find them a bit sensitive for a bit at first.
I think everybody worries all through pregnancy until u have that baby in ur arms but even then you still worry. It is harder at start as u are keeping pregnancy a secret just now so u don't have everyone to talk to about how ur feeling.

Much better now , Welcome to the new girls! x

I had much more symptoms in the beginning as well, now just slightly nausea (seems to keep following me ) , very sensitive on smells, can t even open the fridge . Boobs got a little bigger but they are not as sensitive as in the first month( hope is all right still). I can t eat meat ! When I see raw meat I feel I will be sick, don't really know what to do as I was always eating meat. On another hand is fine as I wanted to reduce meat , just thinking about the baby to be ok. I hardly eat a slice oh ham in a sandwich or a piece of cooked chicken. Will see how I am getting on...

Hopefully they will book my 12 weeks scan until the end of March. I am due 10th October. For the new girls, I had a private scan at 7 weeks as I was anxious all the time and to reassure myself that it is real

Lea, about crinkles.. really hope she is doing good, if you see our posts please give us a shout to know all is good!


So ladies , so excited we will have a lot of scans till the end of March

I do not have many symptoms either! Just bloating and tiredness really. I don't feel pregnant yet. Can't wait for more symptoms to kick in. How far along are you?

I'm only 6 weeks so I suppose it's still early days, considering an early scan for next week though just to put my mind at rest.

If you want a reassurance I would suggest you to do the scan. I had one at 7 weeks and could see even the heartbeat which was a relief. However, I am aware anything can happen anytime...

Chased my midwife as still not had a call from her and apparently they haven't had my referral from drs even tho doctors said they had done it so apparently it will be faxed today marked as 'urgent and chasing' should have known my drs are shocking hopefully hear from them soon!

 

[ladybugs90]

When are you supposed to have your scan and booking in vicki?

 

[Allysa151]

Good you chased them and now they will book you with mw asap.

What folic acid/vitamins are you taking atm until 12 weeks? I had Pregnacare for the last month but they are so hard to swallow and thought I might change them. Are you girls happy with your ones?

 

[DigitalCity]

Allysa I'm taking pregnacare too and I feel the same about them, I hate taking pills as it is. When they've ran out I'll probably just switch to folic acid and cod liver oil capsules, no doubt I'll be on iron tablets soon anyways too yuck.

 

[lea554]

Scan booked for 24th march - I can't wait another 3 weeks!!

[Cazzie11]

Feel your pain Vickilou. I had to phone my doctors as I hadn't heard anything yet, turns out they forgot to send them off! I now don't have a booking in appointment until the 17th (I'll be 11 weeks) and they're putting me in for an urgent scan!! For goodness sake!!! X

 

[Allysa151]

Aww, Lea! Amazing news not long to wait x

Girls, sorry you had bad experience with docs , I had to register myself to midwife, I called last week to the children's Centre and they booked me for 6th , not much to wait.

Digitalcity, I thought about seven seas as I read some good reviews but really confused what to buy , my pregnacare are finishing in 2 days so I will see what they have in boots x

 

[Heather1981]

We don't go through our doctors here we just phone them up and arrange the appointment ourselves.
I have just been taking folic acid and find these ok for swallowing x

 

[Vickilou25]

I don't know ladybugs need to hear from them I'm 8weeks 3 days today tho so glad I chased!

I was taking seven seas ones as that's what I took last pregnancy but have a feeling they arnt helping my nausea so have changed to just taking folic acid today to see if I feel any better!
Exciting that some already know scan dates!! X

 

[ladybugs90]

I am taking pregnacare max, they are so expensive though! Vicki I am same as you and my scan is 30th march x

 

[Vickilou25]

Ooo hopefully they get in contact soon then and our scans maybe around the same time x

 

[AmyThomas]

I'm rubbish at taking tablets- looked at the massive pregnacare ones and just laughed. I'm taking separate folic acid and vitamin d tablets from Tesco's. My office has no windows so I thought the vit d would be a good call. Had to get myself one of those 7 day pill dispenser things to remind me to take them, but it gives me another nice boost when another weeks gone and I get to fill it up!

 

[lea554]

At my booking in appt she said vitamin d was one of the main ones I should be taking, almost as important as folic acid.
I haven't been able to stomach the pregnacare, even cut in half the powdery taste makes me gag. She said just folic acid and vit d should be fine if can't take the pregnacare...so good call Amy Thomas!

Evening ladies how's everyone doing ? Tiredness is taking its toll on me every afternoon a wave of tiredness takes over my body and I need to nap but with a toddler it's hard work 😓, appetite is crap it's not there at all so I never fancy anything really my belly is bloated so bad I'm struggling to hide this! Will post a pici to show lol

 

[lea554]

Jojo, your belly looks like mine, lol!
Apart from mine is turning into fat - to stop feeling sick, I was eating like every hour. That seems to be passing now, but I'm still eating every hour! I've just finished off a bar of galaxy...oops...
