Cheesy chicken nuggets ... Ohhh dear think I'm going to have to pop out!

cherrypiew3 · 23/05/2012 21:25

Evening all,

Welcome to the newbiesSmile

11 weeks today.
Have been lurking for a few days been to sick to post. The GP has doubled the dose of my tablets which was working fantastic until last nightSad. I have suddenly become very agitated and unable to sleep. So have decided to stop taking them and now I am worried that I am going to start been very sick again. All I seem to do just lately is moan.

I am also with you on the cheese thing can not get enough of it.

Whatmess fingers crossed that you continue to feel better.

Minipie hope your scan goes well.

Well I hope everybody else is feeling well.

ivanapoo · 23/05/2012 21:33

Cheese is awesome, only big blocks of strong cheddar or smelly Parmesan need apply (DH came home with some goats cheese and Camembert, I was NOT impressed). I am eating an average of 5 Caesar salads a week at the moment and spending the GDP of a small country on cutted up pear posh fruit like mango

Scan at 9am tomorrow... I'm almost as worried about managing not to wee out the pint of water as I am about the scan itself!

ivanapoo · 23/05/2012 21:37

Oh and we bought a house today (having only moved 2 months ago...). So that's finding out we're expecting, me getting a new job and buying a house in a grand total of 5 weeks. Lucky the hormones are giving me zen-like calm.

blackcurrants · 24/05/2012 00:58

ooh, congratulations on the new house ivana - we are trying to buy but it's a complicated sale (threat of foreclosure which this sale should forestall) and the seller's bank are dragging their feet a bit. Or being officious. Or both. I do so hope to be moved in before the end of the summer, so we can all settle properly and I can do a bit of nesting :)

DS is ill and waking a lot, I've just got the cold too and feel like death, and this morning I slipped and twisted my ankle while out on a dog walk and miles from home. The tiredness has made me feel sick again, DS is still crying and refusing to sleep and I am about to go to bed myself - bowl of cereal for supper, it's nearly 8pm. That's reasonable, right?
Riight?

Clarella · 24/05/2012 06:41

Morning all, hope whatmess and friendof you're feeling better today. Ouch blackcurrants hope its ok this morn.

Congrats ivana - Oooo lots of scans today! Mine is 1.30 this afternoon! Fingers crossed :) I think we've now decided not to do the downs tests - think its ok to cancel?

CODwidow · 24/05/2012 07:28

Morning everyone Grin good luck for everyone having scans today.

2 weeks today for mine, hoping with the jubilee celebrations time will pass quickly.

Chloe55 · 24/05/2012 07:32

Good luck ladies with scans-mines at 3.30pm. Dreamt last night I was bleeding and I passed a jellyfied goldfish Shock wtf is all that about???!

FriendofDorothy · 24/05/2012 07:42

I am just feeling so unoptimistic and a bit sad today. I have had a small amount of brown bleeding again today and I am worried that it has been most days this week. I am just so, so scared that something has happened to the baby now. I have my booking scan tomorrow and I am worried what it might show.

Clarella · 24/05/2012 08:02

Oh friendof, I'm so sorry. As they think you lost a twin but the other is still there and so your cervix could be so tight, is it possible its still old blood? Big hugs x

Clarella · 24/05/2012 08:07

Chloe, that is definately nuts ;) hope the hours go quick!

FriendofDorothy · 24/05/2012 08:35

I am pretty sure it is old blood but the fact that I have bled, just a little mind you, most days is freaking me out. I just want it to stop so I can enjoy this experience now!

StaceymReadyForNumber3 · 24/05/2012 09:08

chloe when i was pregnant with dd i dreamt i gave birth to a squirrel, thankfully when she came out she was human (well most the time anyway ;) )

whispering i think the morning sickness might have bugered off!! but cant say it too loud in case ir realises Grin lol feeling much better the last few days, even got to zumba last night, and today i haven't been sick once! yipee, long may it continue!

good luck to all those with scans, i still have no scan date, hope they give me one at my booking in, which is sat.

ivanapoo · 24/05/2012 10:16

Well, had our scan and there was a baby in there with a heartbeat Grin but dated 10+4 not 12+4! Which is really weird as had definitely finished let alone started my period well before then. Must be a v late ovulator...

Going back in 2 weeks for proper dating scan. More waiting but at least I seem to be feeling a bit less sick and tired.

Equimum · 24/05/2012 10:41

I've also had a scan this morning following a bleed on Tuesday night, and have also been told that my dates are well out. I was certain that I am 8+3 but the scan suggests 9+3. Main thing though is that baby seems okay. There was definitely a nice strong heart beat. Now due Christmas Eve!

StaceymReadyForNumber3 · 24/05/2012 10:46

glad the scans are ok, at my early scan theres a disclaimer saying they are likely to change the dates at the 12 week (ish) scan as dating is more accurate then, so they may change you back in a few weeks lol!

Clarella · 24/05/2012 11:17

friendof, it would definately worry me either way. Fingers crossed for you xx

Trying not to freak myself as tsh has gone up to 11.1 again even after two dose increases ( should be 1.5!) Imnotgooglingimnotgoogling.....! Seeing consultant later so a waste of typing energy to Google! Explains my tree trunk ankles and tmi constipation despite addiction to hummus and prunes.

That's great ivana and equimum!

Chloe, as I said, nuts ;)

Clarella · 24/05/2012 11:18

Today I am mostly craving.... beef.

StaceymReadyForNumber3 · 24/05/2012 11:27

clarella mine is normally steak, or a big fat juicy burger, or milk and cheese, think our bodies definately tell us what we need tbh

minipie · 24/05/2012 12:02

Oh I reaaaally want steak or a burger. But I can only eat them well done and it just isn't the same

Clarella good that you're seeing a consultant. I have been slightly naughtily upping my own dose of thyroxine (from 50 mcg to 75mcg) until I can see a consultant, as my TSH was a bit high. Do you know what your T4 is?

Friend I know how you feel, I've had brown spotting all week - but that's better than the pink spotting and actual blood I was having before, I guess... I bet it's just left over from your previous bleed, I think that's what mine is anyway

OP posts:
nasara · 24/05/2012 13:26

minipie, I am with you - steak or burger is so appealing right now, not forgetting CHEESE.

2 weeks till scan - I feel like I've got my eyes tightly shut till then.

nasara · 24/05/2012 13:27

Oh, and which IKEA cot works as a kind of co-sleeping cot? All of them, just take the side off?

itsMYNutella · 24/05/2012 13:36

Ohhhh a Cheeseburger... Or chicken noodles.... Or anything with cheese on really.
Or yoghurt, I seem to be eating a lot of yoghurt lately.
I had an awful nights sleep and have been awake since around 5 this morning, soooo hungry! Just woken from my post lunch nap.... Off to the kitchen!

itsMYNutella · 24/05/2012 13:37

Oh and I suppose I will soon need a shopping list; where did I leave my idea catalogue??
Also going to need bigger jeans soon...

StaceymReadyForNumber3 · 24/05/2012 13:40

oh and ladies, jelly is pretty amazing. I keep eating stuff and it leaves a funny taste in my mouth after (i'm assuming it's the hormones as it's loads of different stuff) so i thought i'd clense my palate with jelly! It's awesome, i thouroughly recommend :)
