Jue in June part 3

[moomin156]

We have now reached 2000 posts so need to start another thread.

Morning all! Its a beautiful day here again and I'm stuck in work . I am also feeling sooooooo sick at the moment, can't wait for ms to be over. I was dry heaving in the sink this morning when making my breakfast, and am really struggling to keep focussed in work (can't you tell? ). I know I don't have it as bad as a lot of people, but am really feeling people's pain who have ms even worse than this.

Nurse sorry to hear you've argued again with dp. Maybe it is because it is a stressful time, it is a lot for you both to take on board this pregnancy and baby lark. Me and my dp both seem to be quite defensive with eachother at the moment; I don't think it helps much that I have absolutely no interest in sex at the moment, and spend most of my time sat around with a sulky look on my face cos I feel so rough .

Petitech Congratulations on your scan .

Morning- I have come to join the Due June time mammies!

Not too sure on due date until next week, but I am about 10 wks!

Just.....just starting to feel a bit better. 8rubberduckies- I feel for you. I was miserable as sin-really really struggled. The only thing that kept the nausea away was grazing-all day. Crackers,grapes,cheese-fizzy water, but try sick bands- I 'think' they worked for me!!!!
Just keep thinking- the rough symptoms, they say- is a good sign....well, its time for my morning cheese and biscuits. I can feel a wave coming over me.

Loves.

Supersunny thank you for that linke - that's very interesting!

oooh thanks for the link supersunny I am having nuchal combined with blood test when I am 11+5 and that was offered to me as standard as I am so old! (37) This test really scares me as I know I'll be so excited to get to 12 weeks so bad news then would be devastating. And the decisions about more testing etc would be just awful and all over Xmas too. But my DP says i shouldn't be worrying about that now, cross that bridge etc.....but I am a natural worrier!

Welcome deepbluewave glad you are feeling a bit better now.

Monica, my midwife mentioned lifestyle, e.g. smoking etc, blood tests, nuchal fold, age and one other thing I can't remember!

Moomin, good to have you back :)

Crumble :( Poor you. Glad you're over the bug now. It's absolutely not your fault, food poisoning can happen to anyone, I'm sure it wasn't anything you did. And at least your little boy didn't get it. Hope the ms clears up a bit soon

Thanks everyone, we have made up now. I'm just worried about all the crying, in case it turns into depression, but am maybe reading too much into it.

arrgh sorry for double posting, stupid internet connection in the library!

Hi Supersunny - yes from willow the wisp - actually my sister always did (and still does) call me Moog bceuase apparently I have no brain!

Hi clench yup planning at the new birth centre. They've got a video tour on the web looks really great. No I work quite a way from Chi so very much looking forward to maternity leave so I don't have the epic commute!
Is it your first?Is for me.

Would be great to meet some people as don't know many people around Chi, especially mummies!
Don't worry I don't think I'll recognise you althou maybe when we start blooming I might start wondering if all of the pregnant people I see, are you!

That is funny supersunny and it is so weird that there are such different guidelines around the country. I think my PCT's cut off for 'old' is 35! Do you get the nuchal with blood test or just nuchal? Mine is both I think but to be honest I haven't read the booklet in any detail because it is a bit scary.

Afternoon ladies, just had my booking appointment with the MW, an hour of answering questions, form filling and giving what seemed like litres of blood!
I am officially a high risk pg due to a recent cone biopsy and am being referred to a consultant for a probable cervical stitch and have just made the mistake of googling it!!! wow, not looking forwards to that.
Im feeling sick all the time and all i can eat is raw veg and dry carackers.

nurse my oh is being thorougly moody at the mo too, hes really worried about the whole pg and wont talk to me about it, saying we can believe its real when we've had the scans! How rude. I havent told anyone about it (apart from employers) so i have no-one to talk to except you nice ladies He also told me to 'get a grip you're only 7 weeks' yesterday because i went to bed feeling sick. Men can be so lovely.

Anyway, hope everyone is well x

wolfcub eeeak, I haven't googled it but the idea of a stitch there doesn't appeal but I guess it if it will keep your baby safer then i guess it's a good thing.

My DP won't talk about it either. I was stressing at the w/e about the possibility of another mmc etc and telling him I felt nervous, upset etc and he just said 'that's understandable' and continued reading the paper! I think he doesn't want to get emotionally involved until things are a bit more certain. Might save some pain but it's impossible for me not to be emotionally involved now so it's too late for that.

Poor you for feeling sick, someone said here earlier that the peak is meant to be 9 weeks so hopefully you'll start feeling better soon.

The not being able to talk about it is so hard isn't it (which explains why I'm on here so much!)

Oh dear wolfcub :( I'm sorry he's being like that. Maybe he just doesn't want to get emotionally invested until he knows thngs are ok? Although perhaps not the best way to behave. I would puke on his shoes and then say "Get a grip, it's only vomit." Do you have a supportive friend/sister/mum who would keep it secret until 12 weeks but just give you that extra RL support?

Sorry about the cervical stitch. Make sure OH knows you're going to need a lot of looking after if you do have it.

I've decided I am oficially showing now. In the evening it's my whole belly which I think is bloating but in the morning it's a little bulge under my belly buttonand it feels sort of harder there. I'm probably just eating too much but damn it I'm going to pretend I've got my bump!

Am I really bad/stupid that I've told pretty much all my close friends and my immediate family? Probably :(

Thanks ladies
nurse i will make sure i puke in his shoes, like that idea! Im sure the scan will melt his heart and he'll be different then, hes got a lot on at work and we're not exactly prepared for all of this.

Im only not telling anyone because it wasnt exactly planned (am i allowed to say that ) and even though im 27, have a long term partner, mortgage and relative financial stability i dont think my mother will be very pleased as im half way through a degree and i need time to think about how im going to tell her.

Ive banned myself from google now.

nurses no, it's not stupid at all. I've also told lots of people, as have by dsc's as I found out at the school yesterday! I'm just not sure I could keep it to myself for all that time!

I'm sorry to hear some people have been having a difficult time with their dp's. It's such an emotional and worrying time for everyone. It's a shame there's not a forum like this for expectant fathers.

wolfcub sorry to hear about the cervical stitch. It must be good to know that they're going to give you the care you need though.

Someone was asking about dreams about having a baby, sorry I can't remember who. I had one a couple if nights ago that freaked me out a bit. I gave birth 2 months early and then kept forgetting I had a baby, what sex it was and what it's name was!

Thanks fir the advice re wee bottles! I'll pop into my drs surgery tomorrow and ask fir one.

I'm the same wolf, unplanned, halfway through a degree, only 22 and in a relatively new relationship. Not exactly financially stable. Luckily my mother knows me well enough to know I don't do that whole conservative thing We are all over the moon now though and that's what matters.

How are you going to manage your degree? I'm going on mat leave halfway through 2nd year (next april) then taking up where I left off a year later.

supersunnyday My tutors have been soooo supportive. I can have a year out, do the 3rd year part time etc etc. Im due around 26th June and my exams are end of may so thats their only concern, hopefully this stitch will hold baby in until they're over!!!
Im sure mom will be thrilled, i recently got 2 goldfish and my dads rection was 'goldfish, what about bloody grandchildren!!' so i know he'll be happy, maybe i'll get him to tell her

mummy, I had a dream that I had a dog and kept forgetting to feed it and very sternly told myself that when I have a baby I must feed it every day! Good advice, I suppose. I also dreamt I was having a boy.

Nurse cross posts, the only thing im worried about is having a new peer group as these things are never easy especially as i wont be out boozing with them and ill have to get home for baby. Also childcare, ive heard thats really expensive. I think maybe im getting a bit ahead of myself tho
