October 2012 - The pips are sprouting shoots and roots! Lots less puking lots more blooming. 2nd trimester here we come!!

[GizzyBoo]

Hope this will do ladies

loopy that's fantastic news! congratulations

Hi and welcome bear

gizzy other than this meal tonight I'm planning on decorating and cleaning my house that is starting to resemble steptoes yard!

I lost 6 stone last year. Went from a size 22 to a size 12/14. Am easy a 16 now and I think that's why I obsess about it now! I know how hard it is to lose weight.

bear i don't seem to feel sick just tired and then out of nowhere I'm violently sick in the evening. Prob because of over indulgence. I am constantly ravenous! I find constantly grazing stops any nausea. Hope you get some respite soon x

Bear I also second the grazing, it does give some respite - especially savoury things - and eat small meals. If I pig out, my body rejects it in a way no-one wants to know about!!

And I have found sea bands help on my worse days, I pop them on after having my morning shower but then remove them in good time before work as they leave marks. I think it's a personal thing tho; ginger would make me vom but peppermints really seem to soothe.

Ah congrats Loopy I usually blub at scans too

I have put on about 5lbs already which us not good. I have a massive bump already! I didn't show until 20+ weeks with dc1. Now there seems to be much less resistance

Great news loopy! I know what you mean - I seriously actually blubbed at Sian Williams leaving BBC Breakfast the other day, and yet I'm not really sure I actually care iywkim?!

I'm relieved so many of you have gained the same sort of weight as me

Popcorn lol!!!

Hahahahahah

I've spent the last hour blubbing because the kids all have various youth clubs/groups and hubby is working tonight meaning I will be sat on my own from now until 9pm!! And I don't wanna!! .... What the actual hell is wrong with me!!!

Maybe the title of the thread should have been 'Lots less puking, lots more blooming blubbing' ?!!

I welled up at the library today, as the lady read a story to the toddlers about owl babies who had lost their Mum

Oh I love that story MissPenteuth I used to read it to the little ones in pre-school all the time. Its lovely!!

I have cheered up slightly.

I have watched some old ER and drooled over a yummy and young Dr Ross, eaten bubble and squeak and had some lovely messages on FB from friends and family.

Talk about mood swings!

Don't forget your elbow/knee pads and your helmet tomorrow Thunder

Evening all!! :)

I too have gained weight,feels like about 5 stone but not actually sure as I threw the scales out a couple of years ago as I wanted to hang myself every time I got on them!! The 'bump' isn't too bad in the morning but as day wears on I start to blow up & go to bed looking around 4/5 months preggers!!

Popcorn I balled my eyes out too watching Sian say her goodbyes,we are officially losing our marbles!!

I just stick my fat out and pretend its a bump I feels better then

Ooh, old ER, now that's a good idea gizzy. Might have to look some up!

I have had to 'confess' to 2 more people at work because of my ever-inflating bloat. It's not the baby, the baby is about the size of a ......erm, size of a thing 5.4 cm long I'm 12 weeks today! I'm definitely feeling less nauseous and having a bit more appetite. I haven't officially put on weight - MW measured me as 2 kilos lighter than Dr but it was the morning - but the blubber...! I look at least 4 months.

Happy weekend everyone,

I've been keeping the blubbin' under control (thankfully - I'm quite teary generally so I think I've actually found a new calm) and the sickness is coming and going but mostly going, but oh, I'm so tired.

I indulged in some maternity jeans last weekend - they were only $50 (less than £25) and oh my goodness, they are so much more comfortable that they've already paid for themselves, even if I grow out of them next week (which I won't)! Think I've put on 1 or 2 lbs but not more than that, and I might just have been wearing a heavier jumper when I weighed myself! I've only got the wii fit balance board at home, no real scales. So if I haven't actually changed weight but I have this great bloaty baby bump at the front (and two more up top), I must have got thinner somewhere else, right?

I'm loving your logic Pinpan....I'll go with that theory too

1/2 a glass of red wont hurt will it

Well that was a fail....it tasted all wrong and after 3 sips I gave it to hubby!

Funny isn't Gizzy? I'm a real wino fan of wine, love the taste and the feeling of being instantly relaxed with it. I thought I'd really miss it but I've barely noticed that I don't have a in my hand at the weekends anymore...

Gizzy , yay I.m not the only one embracing my pudge bump!

Pinpan , you got that right! Must be getting skinnier somewhere. ;)

I had a cry too yesterday.. My car broke down. AGAIN... In the end I just left it where it was and got the bus in to work. DP is being tasked with dealing with it today.

Morning girls. Dinner went ok. My sisters dp ignored me completely and when my dp asked if he would like a beer he said "no, we are trying for a baby"
My sister did get drunk tho and thankfully didn't say anything.

I too embrace my bump it's high and hard? (must be gas, altho this is my 7th pregnancy. Maybe it's just all gonna hang out) and with heels leggings and a tight vest top I looked pregnant. So much so the waiter said congratulations as I left. what if I wasn't preg and just needed a poo. ???

Had some respite from the snoring. Ds2 had a nightmare so came in with me and dp went in his room so I got a few hours of unbroken sleep.

Hope your all well.

I too can't wait 11 days til my scan. I want to buy clothes. I'm also going to try and get the sonographer to look at babies nub (obsessed with gender ). I'm having a nuchal scan but at same time I need my cervix scanned to check the length. They will be looking around a while so fingers crossed they can indulge me.
It may sound wierd but I want to know sooner to stop people thinking I'm disappointed. I already get "bet you want a girl " because of my 2 ds. On a serious note we ttc because we wanted a baby so aslong as all is well I don't mind.

Sorry girls for the rant.

Enjoy your weekends especially mothers day wether it's ur 1st or 10th x

babybrain at least you're crying over something that's happened to you, not silly films!

Bubblebell glad dinner wasn't hideous and how lovely & supportive of your DP!

Baby vs. Belly - I rub my belly already as if it's the baby I guess soon enough all our jellyness/bloatyness will become big round beautiful babies inside so we may as well embrace them early!
