October 2017 mummies :-)

[Heather1981]

Congratulations on another little boy to the group x
Ewan the dream sheep was a life saver for my little boy x
I haven't felt any kicks and I was 16 weeks yesterday but I have a anterior placenta and it was later on last time. I am so glad I have my scan on Saturday for reassurance x
I had a lovely day yesterday. I joined the October 2014 group when I was pregnant with my son and we or most of us have a page on fb so we have all kept in contact. One of the girls who stays in France was over for a few days in Edinburgh and we managed to catch up. It was lovely to meet face to face and see how well our little kids got on x

I don't feel anything yet and 15 weeks this week.

Feeling very miserable today as I can't stop heaving at everything! It is stressing me out, the mornings are awful I really struggle to function. I can't go to the toilet without making myself heave, I still don't want to eat much. I have no cravings.

Why :'(!!!!!!

Sorry to moan! But nobody seems to feel the same that can compare.

It's odd how different areas do things differently. Just had my 16 week appointment and she listened to baby as part of a normal appointment nice strong heartbeat sounds the same as my son did so I reckon will be another boy!
Jealous of those who have already found out what your having! X

 

[Allysa151]

Ladybugs, everyone is different , just because you feel other way doesn't mean something is wrong x
I am the other way round, I have so much energy in the mornings and after 2 p.m. I am dead! I don't have much cravings either , just a big appetite, I could basically eat all the time
Hope you will fell better soon, try to relax a bit x

Heather, how nice ! x

 

[Heather1981]

I am feeling sick/retching most mornings which I don't like but I am preferring that to what I did have when I had to go to hosp as couldn't keep food or water down for 5 days.
I am craving the marks and Spencer's chocolate milkshake and when I wake up in middle of night/ early morning I go have some as found this helps me not feel as bad when I get up x
My appetite still not 100% but eating rubbish but when I seen doc he said I am better eating that than nothing x

 

[ladybugs90]

Pleased you are feeling better heather

Thanks Alyssa, I am just hoping the next few weeks I start to feel better. I don't tend to feel too tired actually.

Aww Vicki, looking forward to finding out what your gender is!

Went to my appt and all was fine. They do listen for the heartbeat at every midwife appt now, which is excellent. I got to hear it today, beating away fine. Really relieved.
On the symptom side I am generally feeling ok. Tired in the evenings, but I wonder if this is partly due to being on my own at the mo and getting bored. Annoyingly my headache from yesterday is still going strong. No matter how much water I drink or healthy food I eat it is terrible. I feel like I want to pull my eyes out and clean behind them. I've had to have a dissolvable paracetamol, which I feel really guilty about. I know its stupid as I drank loads and probably took loads of ibuprofen for hangovers before I knew I was pregnant, but taking a paracetamol now feels wrong. Hopefully this makes sense!x

 

[Vickilou25]

Bless you it may feel wrong but it's perfectly fine and you will even be told to take them regularly when you start labour pains

 

[DigitalCity]

My midwife called and told me my bloods show my iron levels are good etc which means my dizziness and fainting is probably just low blood pressure and there's not much that can be done about that Some days I just feel so lethargic and don't want to move and I'm scared of leaving the house when I feel rubbish because I don't want to pass out in public when I have my son with me :/

 

[Flick9670]

Blimey some of you are having a real tough time, my biggest thing at the moment is I can't get comfy at night, at all, I keep waking up and am on my back which I never sleep on my back, have always slept in the same position, I normally never move in my sleep, yet now I can't get comfy am fidgiting all the time, feel sick, having nose bleeds, all when am trying to sleep which then means for the whole day I am exhausted!

BUT saying all that, I would rather that than having the fainting and sickness stuff others are having, really feel for you x

 

[Allysa151]

Hey, Amy glad your midwife appt was fine and you could finally hear the heartbeat. I do hope they will listen to mine next time without me pushing it. I was very tempted to take some pain killers but I just resisted and waiting when pains will get worse

Flick , I usually slept on my belly, now all I can do is to sleep on one side, I try usually on left side but I turn over to the right side while sleeping. I feel for you, I had such bad nights and by the point I was waking up I didn't even felt I had some sleep. For me it got better now , but I still wake up tired, hope will get better for you as well .

It is freezing today

 

[ladybugs90]

Feeling a lot better today although my itchy skin is driving me crazy!

Anyone got bumps yet? I just look like I have a fat belly!

AmyThomas don't feel bad about taking paracetemol, I had to take them in the beginning when I was getting really severe abdominal pain. Hope you feel better soon.

I know the weather is cold today, but next week is meant to be hot! Woohoo!

 

[Allysa151]

I have a fat belly too , even so you can see the shape of the bump underneath going out nicely I think in a couple of weeks and with more healthy eating it will be visible. Feeling fat and hungry at the moment ..

 

[DigitalCity]

Omg had my first bit of booby leakage today! I still have my bloaty bump, in the morning I look like I'm pregnant with a big Mac but by 6pm i look 6 months pregnant and I'm waddling about haha

I had that yesterday! I was a bit taken aback actually when I saw it.

 

[AmyThomas]

Haha, that message made me laugh digital. I haven't had any of that yet.
I think I've managed to finally shift the headache. It woke me up at 0230 so I had to have some more tablets. Didn't get back to sleep til 0430 then my alarm went off at 0600, groan. Had loads of water today and fingers crossed its better. If it starts getting bad again I'm going to have to take paracetamol to prevent it getting worse.

My bump/fat is still developing through the day. I think it will be a couple of weeks before it develops into an actual bump and not just me looking a bit tubby.

Roll on the warmer weather x

 

[AmyThomas]

I managed to sleep through the night and don't have a headache, yay!! If I said this to other people they'd be like 'yeah, so what', but you guys know this is amazing! Yay!x

Yay fantastic news, hopefully that will be the change now and the headache will go and you can start to enjoy it xx

 

[Allysa151]

I woke up at 5 am I had a restless night, was more awake that sleeping. This morning I am having regular twinges in my lower belly and they are a bit painful as well. Wonder if is stretching or the baby?
Amy , I totally understand Headaches nowadays are awful...

 

[ladybugs90]

Good nights sleep, only up once in the night for the loo!

I've had that pressure feeling again this week, last night and today been having a sharp pain occasionally in my lower stomach. Nothing too worrying, I am sure it is just round ligament pain.

Still got swollen ankles and feet so can't fit into my converse anymore haha!

Allysa pretty sure it's round ligament pain as I have that too. Amy, really pleased to hear your headaches have eased off. Fingers crossed for a good 2nd tri!
