Evening ladies, hope everyone is ok, sorry I feel like I'm moaning all the time so I haven't been on all day.

Not really feeling any different Nausea wise but having less dry heaves, don't worry I wet myself almost every time that was why the doctor signed me off at first. Because I can't physically be sick my stomach just spasms and I can't control my already weak bladder. Mental health wise I'm seriously struggling today sometimes catch myself thinking what a stupid idea it was to have another baby which is ridiculous and I hate myself for thinking it because it is a much loved and much wanted baby and I just wish I was strong enough to manage, I wish I was normal.

I don't have another Drs appointment for another 3 weeks but I'll probably take your advice and ring the doctors Monday and see if they can extend my sick note.

 

[Joeypops]

Massive hugs to you Mumbear. It's no wonder you are struggling mentally just now but don't be too hard on yourself. You are going through a really tough time and the majority of us would struggle to manage. I'm complaining enough just now and have things very easy compared to you! Its a challenging time and hormones dont help either. Get yourself back to the doctors asap, try to look after yourself in the meantime and don't apologise for moaning x

Hi ladies,

The doctor has prescribed me Ondansatron and signed me off for another 2 weeks. I'm going to use a week of it and see how I feel after that, the GP was happy to let me go on how I feel. I'm a bit wary of the Ondansatron as it's not actually licensed in pregnancy but the GP suggested using it only when I'm feeling extremely bad and the Cyclizine inbetween times. I'm happy with this plan and so far have had an okay today, I've only been sick once plus an episode of heaving. I've even kept some soup down again - tomato soup seems to be my thing at the moment. Funny when it was the one thing I absolutely could not even smell when I was pregnant with my son!

Nicki, I want to give you a big hug. You're being so tough on yourself! I cried to my friend in work that after going through IVF to have this baby, I actually had a point when the vomiting was so bad of thinking 'why did I want this?'. She gave me a good talking to and reminded me I wouldn't be human if I didn't crumble a bit at feeling so vile. You also have a baby to care for too, while worrying about your work situation. You are normal and you can manage, the start is just so hard when you feel ill. Take one day at a time and come talk to us any time you need to

Hope everyone else is okay xxxx

Morning all!

Crikey we've got it all going on in here, was only away a few days!

Hope everyone is feeling okay - have a lovely weekend x

PS have we heard from Emma? Don't like it when someone goes awol for a few days!

 

[JoeyClare]

No, not heard from Emma. It's been quiet on the FB group too. Hope all is ok and she's just having a rest! Had another appt come today. My hospital wants further booking notes (I don't know if this is because of pre-eclampsia in my last pregnancy) and phlebotomy! It's 90 minutes on Thursday. I know work aren't going to be happy as they're already covering staff on Thursday for courses! Not looking forward to telling them!

 

[Joeypops]

I was thinking the same about Emma, fingers crossed everything is ok.

That's typical your ​appointment is on a day when work is understaffed anyway Joey but I'm sure they will find a way to cope!

I've been feeling considerably worse the last couple of days and have now started to throw up. I'd hoped I'd be one of the lucky ones and avoid that but never mind. 9 weeks tomorrow so hopefully it will pass soon

 

[MrsS15]

I thought Emma was on the fb great, hope everything is okay with her. Thinking of you Emma!

Nicki how you feeling today?

Joey that's annoying about the appointment but these things happen. I hope your work are okay about it! My appointments will all be at the hospital I work in which will be really annoying if my appointments are on my days off. I'll grudge the drive there every time

Joeypops. I feel for you! I really hope as you're 9 weeks and it's just started it's short lived!

Hope everyone else is okay and having a lovely weekend xxx

 

[Lingonberry]

Hi all,

Can I join this thread please? I'm new to this forum, currently 9+1 with baby no 3, I saw the midwife today, for my prebooking bloods etc, and she gave me an edd of 23/12/17. Nice to 'meet' you

 

[emma241179]

Awww thank you so much for thinking of me ladies! Sorry I've been so quiet, we're actually in the middle of selling/buying a new house and all of a sudden found out that we are moving this Friday! So we've been super busy and I've been collapsing in a heap most evenings!

I need to go back through the posts on here and catch up with how you all are, I hope the ladies that were suffering with sickness are feeling a bit better now? Mrs S I know you were really struggling?

All is okay here- I'm still getting the dreaded cramps but starting to relax about those a bit now - we had our 8 week scan yesterday and everything looks just as it should be. I'm allowing myself to get a little bit excited now!

Thanks again for the love and concern! Now I need to trawl back through the thread and catch up!! Hope you all have a lovely weekend xxx

 

[Belfa]

Omg Emma all about short notice!! I don't envy you that one!

 

[JoeyClare]

Welcome Lingonberry!

Wow that's all happening quickly, but at least you'll be all settled in ready for baby! We moved in January as we were in a 2 bed flat and needed more space/extra bedroom.

I'm seriously not going to moan about lack of symptoms again! With Elin, I had quite a lot of nausea which would build up in the evening, but actually throwing up didn't happen till 3rd trimester. This time I had nausea weeks 4-6 and then it seemed to go. The nausea was never as bad as my first time. Well three times this week, I've been trying to sleep and have had to leg it out of bed to throw up. My friend reckons I'm having a boy.

 

[emma241179]

It's one of those where nothing was happening for ages and then all of the things we were waiting on came at once and everyone started pushing for completion! It took us by surprise but we're very excited for the new start! How did your little boy adjust when you moved JoeyClare? I'm bracing myself for a bit of regression with James.

I'm the same with the sickness- sometimes there's nothing at all and other times I can't eat anything and am teetering on the edge of being sick all day, it's weird but I'm grateful to be getting a breather from it rather than it being relentless like some of you poor ladies. My main symptom at the moment is tiredness and I am really struggling with that!!

[Baby Pickle]

Morning all!

Glad you're all okay Emma, we've just moved house (we're living with my parents for a few months whilst we wait for our new house to be built, hopefully the end of next month). Moving is just the worst ever so feel your pain Emma.

Welcome Lingonberry!

I'm off to paint furniture today, fun, fun, fun!

Happy Sunday - Amy x

 

[Lulu90]

Morning everyone and welcome newbies.

My nausea is still driving me nuts. 11+1 so hopefully won't last too much longer. Got my scan next Tuesday, I'm sooo excited/nervous. We had to go to a family BBQ yesterday and luckily I made it through the day without heaving while I was eating. I did only manage to eat half a burger though. I'd say that's why I feel so rough this morning, didn't have enough to eat yesterday.

OH is off to watch Chelsea today, he's in a box with his uncle and friend, they get free drinks and food so I'm fully expecting a complete mess to walk through the door later tonight, not looking forward to that xx

 

[Baby Pickle]

Feel your pain Lulu, my OH went out last night (he rarely goes out to be fair but still thinks he is 18, not 39!!!) so I had a crap night sleep until he got in and he is being really pathetic today, I'm already annoyed with him Hope your OH isn't too bad for you later x

 

[Lulu90]

Sounds exactly like my anthony, you would think he's 18 and not 33. He has to be up for work at 4am tomorrow so good luck to him xx

 

[emma241179]

Do you think the guys act up because we're pregnant?! My husband is buying a PlayStation as a moving in gift to himself.. he's 38.

I said I'm going to buy myself some dollies and my little ponies to play with!!

Have a lovely Sunday everyone and hope your sickness eases up a bit Lulu! Xxx

 

[Baby Pickle]

At least we aren't alone ladies

Hi ladies!

Welcome to the new ladies

I've had probably the best 2 days with nausea and vomiting than I have in 3 weeks. I'm on quite heavy anti sickness meds but they're obviously doing their job. Last night I even managed a dinner! The nausea still hits me quite bad but the vomiting isn't anywhere near as full on. I'm just enjoying it because I don't know how long it'll last! Sounds like we all can't wait to be out this trimester!

Had a giggle at your men. Mine was an utter twit for a couple of weeks and I could have killed him but he's been back to his normal self this last week. He's watching the Celtic game now though so that could all change in an instant

Emma glad you're okay and hope the house move goes well. We put our house up for sale before we got married thinking it would take forever and ended up selling in 12 days so we moved house 3 months before our wedding and it was chaos!!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend xx

 

[Baby Pickle]

Been 'up-cycling' furniture all day ready for the new house. Randomly we own no wardrobes, every house we have had has had fitted wardrobes (4 different houses) and this new one doesn't MIL has given us a lot of old furniture so I've been painting, blooming knackered now so snuck off for a face mask and a bath, I'm in heaven - can't remember the last time I stole 10 minutes to myself

Allowed myself to get a little bit carried away and look at prams this mornings Can't wait till my follow up scan on Thursday (I'll be 9 weeks ish), I'll believe this is really happening if all is okay. This limbo land is just awful x
