Due in August 2006

[mumsXMASwish]

I think I'm the first to find this out. Am 5 wks pg and an EDD of 10th August, Anyone else wanna join me?

Cold mash, nice

Well I shall say my goodbyes for the next few days as I'm going daaawn sarf with dh but am meeting up with Kitegirl at some point.

Have a good week

cold mash? very good, very good...

hope everyone is feeling ok!

dh took ds out for a pizza with a friend, hooray! Have read the entire newspaper and loaded three new CDs onto my iPod! going to lie down now.

Hi everyone, this week I will be mostly craving....peas with balsamic vinegar....in fact, anything with balsamic vinegar! Have given up added sugar so maybe am craving the natural sugar in peas! Am feeling a bit nauseous today but there is also anxiety because today is DS' first day at school.
Am 10 + 5 today and my jeans are getting very tight!

Sorry, I don't seem to get on very often - but hopefully that will all change when we move into our new-found rented house at the beginning of February!

Having had another good week health-wise I have now concluded that last weekend's fainting/vomiting episode was some kind of bug, rather than morning sickness. Yay!

I have discovered that the friend who has been pregnant at the same time as me for the last two pregnancies - her children are each about a month younger than my two - is also expecting her third in August. So that's pretty fantastic, although it probably renders her incapable of minding my kids while I give birth!

I still haven't been to the doctor's. Must remember to do that. I'm putting it off because I'll move GP practice when we move house and I don't know if I can be bothered meeting a midwife once and then starting again. The new surgery operates a one-to-one midwife scheme where they do home visits as a matter of course. I should b e able to see the same midwife I had last time, which will be really nice.

HI PT - Good to hear you are feeling better. I am absolutely exhausted all the time, if I have one good day (ie go to work) the next day I cant get out of bed, I ahve been like this for about 10 days now, im now 8+6 weeks, I wonder if its due to the extra progesterone that I am taking daily. Work seem quite understanding due to my previous m/c's.

I do get tired, but our life is so odd at the moment it's like being on permanent holiday, so it's not like I'm trying to work and be pregnant. There's plenty of rest in my life!

Are you taking the progesterone because of the previous m/c's?

I'm feeling pretty much 24 hour nauseaous, with a lot of food being the main offenders - roast dinners, anything greasy, most takeaways, and mostly drinks too. I can only drink water, ribena and lucozade (ribena squash not cartons as they're too sweet) else I throw it up. Absolutely knackered too, I heard it peaks at 9 - 10 weeks GREAT lol still two weeks to go!

No idea what to do with double buggies I REALLY want an e3 but I don't know if I can justify it as ds will be 2.4.. I'm booking him in for pre-school for the SECOND he turns 2.6 lol! Although I'll still have 5 other kids at home!!!!!

Hi all, glad you're feeling better PurpleTurtle. Is there any way you could register with your new surgery before you move? That way you could see all the right people only once. They might let you as it is special circumstances.

Does anyone else get bad sickness in the evening? I think it's due to eating a big meal, like you said lunavix, greasy stuff sets me off and makes me feel awful till the next day. I seem to be fine in the mornings though, which is good! I'm trying to graze through food today, but I feel like such a pig eating all day!

Hope everyone else is well.

Strike - big meals don't help at all. I know they say 'little and often' but as I didn't get sickness with ds I didn't believe it!

For example, I usually have fairly large meals to avoid snacking (lol and I'm greedy!) but now it's like... one piece of potato, one small spoon of veg lol! My ds who's not even 2 eats more than me atm!

My sickness is definately worse in the evenings, and because it's doubled with extreme tiredness I think it makes it worse. Plus it's post-dinner which is the biggest meal.

I thought I was mad getting the worst sickness in the evening, but I'm not alone! I'm finding veg hard to cope with, but fruit is a winner, so hopefully I'm get the right vits (and my multi vit of course)

Hi everyone...Isn't it good to have a moan on here lol.

Well i have found the only way to beat the sickness, but it is gross! i have to have a cup of tea first thing and dunk choc digestives in it pmsl, i have done it the last few days and it really helps!!I have bought the acupressure sickness bands too, don't know if they are helping tbh but at £8 i am gonna keep wearing them

I am dying to have my scan on 1st Feb, i want to know exactly how far along i am, this is gonna sound really really odd, but i am sure i have felt a tiny tiny flutter i thought it was wind at first but have felt it a few times now, very low down....strange! Think i am cracking up!

yes - im taking the progesterone because of previous m/c's. I worked out last night on the calender that although I did not find out about missed m/c last time until my scan at 14 weeks I probably m.c at about 10 - 11 weeks. I am now 8+6, so I just want the next three weeks to pass quickly. I have my next scan on the 2nd Feb - cant wait. I will be 12+2 then yipee.

I feel sick and tired all day, the evenings and the mornings are the worst, do you think it does peak at 9 - 10 weeks that would make sense in my case.

Some of you early August mums must be 12 weeks now or nearly 12 weeks

I'm due 2 August and am only 10+5. Wish I was past that magic 12 weeks! Then I'd know if I needed the dreaded CVS test or not. Roll on Wednesday 18th (date of myt 12 wk scan).
I'm also finding queasiness worst in the evening. But eating citrus fruit seems to bring it on more than the greasy stuff.
BTW it's a good job I took the initiative to get an early scan and that the EPAU were on the ball enough to organise both my 10 and 12 week scans--because despite going to see GP when i was 7wks, haven't heard anything from midwives yet re booking in.

hi all , seems like everyone suffering a bit, its that 8-10 week hormone peak eh. YUCK isnt it. I dont remeber this with dd at all.

Have been overdoing it since last week and think Ive paid for it since lastnight. All In want to do is lay in bed, now acid seems to have reared its ugly head again UH OH. Im just sooo fed up with feeling sick, IM so stuck with what to eat , I cant go to the fridge , Im lasting on bread and butter , crackers and butter and jacke potato and butter , fruit and the odd proper meal. Its soooo hard. I also cant stop crying on and off all day , I think the overtiredness is not helping.

I have my doctors appt tommorow to make it official. Have been crying about that, its the thought of discussing hospitals and past experiences. Im wandering the halls of Chase Farm at night reliving loads of things like a ghost of the past and its so hard to stop thinking about it all. I just dont know were to go or what to do. Its actually making me find it hard to enjoy & be excited about being pregnant. Sorry to be on a downer , Im feeling sorry for myself right now.

Hi Melsy - you do seem to have it bad, at least im not teary. Hopefully if there is a 8-10 week peak then you should be past it soon, are you coming up to ten weeks now?

Take care of yourself and try and remain positive or you wont enjoy your pregnancy at all.

Oh melsy I hope you are feeling better. Try not to let it all get you down.

I have to admit, buying maternity clothes aside, I am treating this pg a bit like one that 'isn't happening' so far. I mean, like it's not definate till 12 weeks. I know it's not definate after that, but I can't think like we will have a baby, until then at least. Silly I know.

Also if anyone can help me out with a problem here

I know it's silly but I can't believe how much I've put on already. When I was pg with ds, I started at 9 stone (my pre-child natural weight!) altho bear in mind I'm 5ft3 so rather short, and I put on FIVE STONE and was over 14 STONE!!! Which is rather hefty on someone as small as me. I ate all fruit, craved it 24/7, ate entire bags of apples, oranges, tins of fruit... I'd take 2 bags of satsumas to work for lunch! So considering the natural sugar it's not surprising I put on so much, but I didn't fancy anything else.

So far everything I can eat (with the added bonus of nausea this time round) it's all junk, crisps, mcdonalds, sweets... plus I'm getting a huge amount more calories as I've cut out all the diet drinks because of the chemicals. And I've already put on eight pounds, I don't have a bump, and I'm barely 7 weeks pregnant. I already felt pretty bad, my average weight after having ds and a stint at WeightWatchers was 9st7 (ie if I pigged out I was still around that) but we went on holiday in October and I went up to ten stone. and Now I'm ten stone eight!

I know this is a frivilous moan but it's really getting me down.

hi everyone, im feeling fine i'm 10weeks+2, got nausea quite bad, work arent being too supportive, i'm so so tired and grumpy... and taking it out on dp, who i think is getting every symptom i have including grumpyness....
pucca i felt that flutterry feeling too the other night while i was in bed, was just like a little flicker on my left hand side!!! ( like the one you'd get when you were gonna snog the boy of your dreams at 15

i was out on sat night and went to the toilet, and i got asked how far on was i???? couldnt believe it!! i do look clearly pregnant now, the wonam who asked asked if i was sure i was only 10 weeks... now im sure its twins!! he he!! either that or im about 6 months and just hadnt noticed!!
another thing are you lot having well weird dreams.... cos i am.... was making a massive massive gooseberry pie last night!!! hehe..
got my 2nd midwife appointment in the morning, wonder if when i'll get my scan date i was supposed to have an early scan due to 2 mc's but havent heard anything yet!!!
keep well guys xxx

Hi all, just checking in. I know how you feel in the moody department Aprilgirl, I can't hold on to one set of emotions long enough at the moment. I cried at a shredded wheat advert last night (the one with the farmer feeding the scare crow) I think I'm losing it

I also feel like the biggest bloater in the world. My DH thinks I've turned into a bloke the amount of burping and farting I keeping doing Oh well, at least it's all progress, I think!! 7+5

Hope everyones well

Posts today have made me feel much more normal. Lunavix, I can really relate to what you are saying re weight gain. I also put on 5st whilst pregnant with DS and am desperate not to do it again. Have definitely gained at least 7lbs, maybe even 10lbs. In my case that's to do with anxiety that I might lose the baby (don't want to think about that, so I will eat instead); and also lack of physical activity--am a bit scared to go out running in case it triggers a miscarriage! I have, however, given up biscuits, cake and chocolate, in fact anything with added sugar that I can think of! I'm also going to join Slimming World because the diet they recommend is very healthy & if I stick to it, I won't gain too much weight.
Sorry to hear how you're feeling Melsy. I think we'll all feel much better after our 12 week scans.

Well done Arabica for giving up the added sugar. My biscuit intake has definitely upped over the last few days.

Your good Arabica cutting out the sugary stuff, I crave it late afternoon.

sorry to be so miserable the other day , think I was way overtired and a tad anxious about my doctors appt , as thought Id have a fight on my hands regarding NOT going to local hospital again, but the gp felt I had a good enough case to put forward going out of my nearest borough one. So I have a choice and need to let her know within the next 12 days. Barnet or North Mid , as any others are to far away.

How do I count my 9 wks plus bit, is it just the number of days past the week ?

Evening all!how are you? not too bad a day today for me although I was sick after cleaning my teeth this morning!NICE!
Arabica - you put me to shame with your no cakes and biscuits etc - I seem to be getting over my cold mash phase but into a salt and vinegar crisps mode!not good!
Went back to work yesterday after 3 weeks off - it was quite scary (especially facing the inquisition as to why I'd been signed off last week-passed it off as a stomach bug and I think I got away with it!! ) but to be honest, it almost helped me to forget that I felt rough!!

hope everyone is ok.xx

ps- Melsy, yes, I think its just the number of weeks plus the number of days. I think I'm 7+4...and counting!!

ahh what a dope I am !! So Im 9+4 today.
