Feb 2013 - early days - part 2!

[LittleMissSnowShine]

Couldnt fund a second part to our thread! Has anyone else started part 2 somewhere else???

Anyway...

Also sleeping badly!!

Yes, I will get to work on organising our list according to due date and post later!

Re fifty shades, queen, u wont hav to do mych skipping to find the rude bits, they're shagging and spanking on every other page!

Wow, early risers this morning! Hope you're all doing OK now and managing to stay away?

somethingwitty you're at 9 wks? You get to move up the list! So jealous you've seen the little mite.
I had my first MW appoint (booking appoint) last night - just loads of questions, blood & urine sample. 1st scan isn't till 12 wks - 19th July - SOoo long to wait!

orangewellies thank you so much for your words of reassurance. I've worked out a trick. I constantly sip on very weak squash and so far (today) it's really helped with the nausea.

swanlike my ms kicked in at about 3 wks but my best friend had none at all and had a beautiful baby girl, so hopefully you're just lucky. Honestly, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

zanyway sorry to hear about your parents. They'll come round when they see that bump

Re: The list, we've nearly got a baby due on everyday of Feb which is pretty cool!

Re: Facebook page, think i'll join when past 12 wks. Don't have too much fun on there without those of us who are waiting.

Regarding morning sickness. I didn't have it at all with my DS or DD and they were both healthy pregnancies, births (if bloody painful) and babies.

Just wanted to add i had no sickness at all in my last pregnancy and baby was fine. No complications in pregnancy or birth either. Its just luck I think, and have been lucky this time so far with no sickness at all. Fwiw, my mum said she was never sick with me and my siblings either?

Those of us not throwing up are going to make ourselves sick worrying about the lack of sickness! I haven't gone off tea yet either and my nose hasn't developed super Sensitivity like last time, but reading WTEWYE yesterday it said as your body has been through a pregnancy already it may not develop all the symptoms that were so vile in the first pregnancy.

I am only 5 and a bit weeks so anxiously waiting for the sickness and tiredness to kick in.

My scan is on 9th aug when I'll be 12 weeks and a day. Seems like ages away but at least something to look forward to.

Hope everyone feeling poorly gets well looked after over the weekend. Put your feet up and be pampered x

Oh is it that early? I must have counted it wrong I thought I'd be getting a scan september time! That's good.

Also I wasnt sick last time. I worried over it but everything was fine!

carries - I'm also quietly panicking about return to newborn stage. I was really in a state after DS's birth with blood loss, stitches, bad infection so first couple of weeks were pretty tough going. Wondering how I'm going to cope with a little newbie and a boisterous toddler but i think it's just normal freefloating pregnancy anxiety lookig for something to fixate one.

sonics -i've also got a v healthy appetite atm

I suffered v badly with sickness last time, had to be put on a drip and take cyclazine on and off for nearly 2 months, was constantly wearing sea sickness bands and a lot of days i couldn't even leave the house. Misery! Hasn't kicked in yet this time, so I'm happy but also fully aware I'm only 5 weeks and HG can appear any time up til 8 weeks And also, even if, and I really hope, i don't get sick this time I end up feeling nervous cos DS was a good, big healthy baby when he was born so I kind of equate the awful sickness with having a healthy baby so no sickness worries me slightly. Stupid I know very stupid

Still got a dodgy back, it's still raining out there but DS did his first wee on the toilet today making me think it's just possible i'll have a holiday from changing nappies even for a couple of months before next LO arrives and me and DH going out for wedding anniversary dinner tonight. yay!

Ooh hi, I think I'd like to add myself here, even though I still can't believe I'm prego! A baby for nearly every day in february, must be all this rain we've been having! :o
I'm plonko, first child, derbyshire, edd Feb 27th.

I guess I'm about 5 weeks then? So car just been mega tired, but that's normal for me as I work ten hour days on my feet all day.

Speaking of work, I work in a wine warehouse which can involve whole days of manual handling and only breaks when we can snatch some time. I'm trying to hold out on telling hr but I don't feel I can carry on as normal and should tell them soon. What do you guys think? Obviously they have to.accommodate me, I just don't want to get judged!

Welcome plonko and congrats!

Personally if my job involved heavy lifting or long hours on my feet I'd get my workplace to carry out a risk assessment as soon as possible, they can't judge you employers have to be very careful how they treat us preggers girlies mw said today that they don't have a choice in letting me out for my appointments and scans and also get 2 hours out for anti-natal classes. Also how ace is it we get free dental care and prescriptions until our babies are 1!

Thanks pinkie! I know you're right, I just can't help but worry. My industry is still rather set in its ways and sexist, so I was going to wait til I was 2 months before letting them know. Many of my less mature colleagues will almost certainly pass judgement.

Balls to it, if anything bad happened due to the nature of my job I'd never forgive myself.

nope i meant my scan at 9 weeks with DS

digi says im 4/5 weeks but i feel more! just ordered indian

Hi all.

I was just wondering if anyone else sickness has eased off? I was giving anti sickness tablets off my GP on Wednesday and I took them yesterday and Wednesday. Today I've not took any as I'm not vomiting anymore. I feel slightly nauseous but nowhere near what I have been.

My boobs are also not as sore anymore.

I've got no pains or bleeding. I'm 8ish weeks.

back mine has as well. I was feeling nauseous every waking minute upto a few days ago. Then since Wednesday, its not as bad and mostly I feel ok. I'm trying not to panic over it though!

Oh here you all are!!! I thought I was going mad when I couldn't find the thread!

I'll have to add myself onto the list too (on phone at mo): Nic, first child, Nottinghamshire, edd 21st feb.

Had a bit of a scare yesterday - had a 'light bleed' which massively panicked over! No pain or cramping thankfully so I'm hoping all is well. I've been booked in at my local EPU for a scan next fri though so will be trying not to worry til then!

Enjoy your weekends all x

BTW does anyone else have a raging thirst? I'm drinking so much!

Hi Nicjayne, welcome and congratulations! Hope the bleed was nothing, I know so many people that have had bleeds in perfectly healthy pregnancies, but still a worry. Yes, the thirst is very normal as your body is cleansing more and producing 10% or so more blood!

Oh no, it's not often Enders gets me crying!

nicjayne am super thirsty too. Still feeling a bit ick. And boobs not quite so sore now. Think I'm 8 or 9 weeks, hopefully should get my proper scan soon.

I am really thirsty.

Try not to worry Nic, its quite common and with no clots pain or cramping sounds ok to me!

Girls, I'm watching discovery home and health 'i didn't know I was pregnant' Amazing! Also 'quints by surprise' might be worth a watch later!

There was similar on BBC three! Imagine that!! A friends sister did this last year, had a really bad tummy and ended up having a baby, must be crazy.

BackPack I'm around the same stage as you and felt less nauseous the last two days but ended up feeling horrendous last night and sitting on the bathroom floor retching. Still not actually vomiting though. Nausea is much worse at night so praying I don't get called into work overnight as am on call over the weekend. Really hope this gets better soon as wedding is in a week!

Can eat fruit and dry ryvita but struggling to drink anything which is a bit concerning can normally drink a 6 pack of diet coke in a day at work

Seems that there are so many variations on "normal" pregnancy symptoms including none which my Mum was luck enough to have - I stupidly though I'd be exactly the same.

Plonko I think speaking to your work sooner rather than later is a good idea though you can ask them to keep it confidential to other employees. I guess a "sore back" excuse would be a plausible reason to be moved to a desk job (and may well be true if you were to do lifting when pregnant!)

Hi all,
I'm totally shattered after a day at work which seemed to last for ever. I'm getting a creeping feeling of nausea, oh joy, so I definitely spoke too soon yesterday.

On the plus side I've got my 12 week scan (and first MW appointment) booked for 25th July, Yay!

SBC I'm booked into a hospital over the border in Kent, because it's a) much closer than my 'local hospital' b) hasn't been all over the news due to outrageous maternity mortality rates and c) I'm a bit of a snob . I just told the doctor where I wanted to go, I'm pretty sure this is available to everyone - although might not be readily advertised. The downside is that I can't go to any antenatal appointments at my local GP, or have home visits, I have to go to the hospital every time.

Thanks for the advice ladies, somehow it seems more believable coming from you rather than a doctor I'd never met before!

Only problem with all this drinking is all the peeing too!

Bunny hope you get your scan soon. My boobs are just getting sore now but thankfully I'm not too nauseous (yet)!
