Are we going to start our own second trimester thread so we stay together (sounds like a cult!!!) But would be nice to keep chatting with those who have been there from the start!

 

[Vickilou25]

Yup and first one over needs to make our due date post too as we haven't been able to update this one xx

 

[ladybugs90]

Thanks guys, can't wait to see everyone else's! Anyone got any ideas of what they are carrying from nub and skull theories? Be good to be in a thread second trimester that is active!

 

[ladybugs90]

Aww glad all ok with all the scans.
Another bonus scan ladybugs90
I have been so sick. After lunch yesterday I felt so unwell then I started vomiting and can't keep even water down I tried some toast last night but no that came back up then I was sipping water and that. And back up I had blood through it as I have been retching so much!
I ended up sleeping on sofa last night so my husband could try get some sleep but also easier and quicker. For me to get to bathroom.
So the last thing I ate which stayed down was my breakfast yesterday morning and now I am to scared to try toast again as I haven't been sick since this am.
I made my little boys lunch and that was making me feel sick ��

Oh gosh, I hope you feel better soon, that sounds awful

 

[Heather1981]

Some of my friends have guessed on my scan it's sitting at 5-3 to girls but that's just guessing lol
Last time I thought I was carrying a girl and turned out to be boy lol
I am tempted to get a private gender scan but I will nearly be 17 weeks when I can go so then think what's another couple of weeks to hold off. I say that just now lol
I have managed to keep a slice of dry toast down but still feeling sick although I do fancy apple pie ?

 

[Allysa151]

Heather hope you feel better x

I am rubbish at guessing the gender from scans, kept on looking on some but not an idea! Today heartburn killed me

 

[AmyThomas]

I'm rubbish at the gender guessing too. We're going to find out (hopefully) at 20 weeks, then we can think about names and etc. I keep thinking that now I've hit the 12 week mark and have told people I should be doing things and making plans, but it still feels too early for that.

I am still so tired at the moment. Honestly think I may have to go to bed soon as I am yawning my head off and am really sleepy. I know if I do I'll probably wake up in the early hours and be annoyed, but I just don't think I can stay awake.

Great news on all the scans!!! Tri2 is fast approaching!

 

[Allysa151]

Hi ladies! Is everyone all right ?
Just seen the December mummies thread and it hit me that we will move soon to trim 2 Seems like ages until Tuesday for my scan. I am having really bad nights, I think I am more awake than getting some sleep during the night.

Plans for the weekend? Weather is beautiful, already April ! X
Ah, just read a funny quote for April fool's Day: Don't loose your energy to lie a lady over 30 years, we lie to ourselves every day Thought it was funny

 

[Heather1981]

Hello ladies I am still not feeling well I stopped being sick on Thursday morning but I still can't eat anything so forcing myself to eat dry toast so since wednesday morning I have had about 7 slices of toast. I am also having to try force myself to drink as even that was making me feel/ be sick. I was a bit worried as thought I was peeing blood but I am sure it's just cause my urine is so dark. I have the midwife on Monday so I am hoping everything will be ok x

 

[AmyThomas]

I've not felt sick for a few days now (probably just jinxed it) but am getting fed up with constantly feeling tired, freezing and having headaches. They're not bad enough for me to take paracetamol but they are always there lately. And I always used to be a savoury person but now all I want to do is fall face first into easter eggs.

At least its public now so work and colleagues will know why I feel a bit crap and yawn all day.

Heather, I hope you feel better throughout the weekend. And Allysa I'm excited for your scan on Tuesday. That might be linked to the poor sleeping so hopefully it will pick up afterwards x

 

[Heather1981]

Sadly still not well I have just been sick again!!
It's starting to get me down and I have a thinking sore head

 

[Olivia118]

My sickness seems to have faded. I hope yours doesn't last too long and you start to feel better soon I have a couple of mouth ulcers at the moment....which are driving me mad!!! Looking forward to hearing about allysa's scan!

 

[Heather1981]

I have phoned nhs24 and I have to go see a dr at 1.20am as nurse on phone was worried I was dehydrated so she said dr will either give me something to stop being sick and something to encourage me to drink or put me on iv fluids. Had to phone my mum to come over to look after my little boy save him getting woken up x

 

[Olivia118]

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon Heather. Keep us updated xxx

 

[Heather1981]

Went in to hosp seen doc who was keen to keep me in and her iv fluids as urine test came back as dehydrated and a urine infection. They took me up to a ward and doc up at ward said they could try giving me anti sickness tablets and antibiotics first to try t home but if still being sick to go straight back in. He said it could be the urine infection that is causing me to be sick and not keep anything down or not be interested in anything. So now keeping my fingers crossed that anti sickness meds work and I can go back to eating as doc says this would help fight the urine infection along with antibiotics
Hope you are all having a lovely weekend. The sun is actually out in Scotland

 

[AmyThomas]

Sorry you're having to go through all of this Heather, I hope you feel better soon. Makes me feel thankful that my only annoying symptom at the moment is a headache that just wont go. I'm just trying to push it through with fluids.

I know this wont help you at the mo but I had a really yummy tray bake breakfast this morning (bacon, toms, pepper, mushroom and spinach) so I'm feeling all good and healthy after yesterdays lazy carb fest.

Going to pick up my first pair of maternity jeans today. The button on my skinny jeans was starting to stick in. I hope these new ones are good.

 

[Heather1981]

If this was my first pregnancy I would be put off having another lol
Breakfast like that would be so good if I could handle it. Hopefully once meds kick in I will be good and the doctor says if I fancy pizza or junk food just eat it don't worry about trying to be healthy he says aslong as I can eat something and I am looking forward to eating something other than dry toast!!

I have my maternity jeans from last time that I will need to get out to freshen up. I loved the ones with the over the bump band rather than the ones that sit below. I can't wait to get the maternity jeans on as they are so comfy x

 

[Olivia118]

Oh no Heather! I hope the mess work and you start to feel better soon. I'm off to subway to get my sandwich fix!!!! Yum x
