I know we said we'd wait until the end of the month, But I'm so excited. and hungry, and need a wee again, and nervous, and my boobs hurt, and the voyeuristic spiders are still watching me

We'll keep our FX that we all stay the distance, and our ttc sisters will join us soon.

No you are right, it won't change anything, I just can't bear to go through it again, I'm so desperate to know everything is ok in there!

Thundercatsarego · 27/09/2012 12:36

I can really understand you're concerned about this. If youre really worried and it would put your mind at rest why don't you have a chat to the professionals? It wouldn't do any harm but would do a lot of good if it made you feel a lot better?

kittykatskumkwat · 27/09/2012 13:07

I've booked an apointment for Tuesday my day off next week, If there is any problem I should see by then, if not I will just tell them my concerns, my midwife app isn't Untill late oct

Thundercatsarego · 27/09/2012 13:25

Sounds like a good solution. Now keep an eye out but try not to stress in the meantime.

Aw kitty, lots of sympathy. Try not to stress. I know not helpful to say (and extremely hypocritical of me) but still! I have been stressing today because I have no symptoms. How pathetic is that of me! I just wish these first 12 weeks would go past nice and quickly :)

peardrop2 · 27/09/2012 14:42

IBelieve I've been stressing too about not having symptoms today. Everything is bugging me today :-( even someone boasting that they fell pregnant 'right after coming off the pill' is bugging me...that must be a pregnancy symptom Grin

Jojoba1986 · 27/09/2012 14:44

Milton Kitty, that's what you need! Wink

How's everyone else doing today? My exciting discovery - oranges & nausea are not a good combination! Urgh!

The weird dreams have started for me... I dreamt I had 4 teenagers & the eldest 2 boys were really into a weird new sport that involved swinging like a monkey between what looked like the seats of zip-lines! Someone had profiled all 4 kids on a website & where they wrote about their heights it said "1.8m (like an Australian)", "1.65m (similar to a European)", "1.6m (average Britain)" & just "Dainty like her mother" for the girl! Rofl! Grin They were also all v blond, attractive & athletic looking! Must have been adopted!

FrustratedSycamorePants · 27/09/2012 14:52

pear that is definately a symptom. i also read that thread I'm getting very annoyed very quickly at the moment. and certain voices are really irritating me.

And I can safely say I hate the smell of coffee. Someone sat next to me in a meeting drinking coffee almost ended up wearing it.

IBelieveInPink · 27/09/2012 14:53

Ah jojo, thank you for reminding me. My weird symptom is that I am sleeping like a log, and having the weirdest dreams ever. I am counting that as a symptom anyway.
Lols at 'similar to a European' :)

12ylnon · 27/09/2012 16:55

Is anyone else really doubting their symptoms? I've had sore boobs and been feeling generally crappy. This morning i was very nearly sick whilst doing the school run (deepest joy) but i didn't feel sick, just started gagging, which was odd.
But i keep thinking- did i have this before?! Especially the sore boobs... i should really pay closer attention to my body!

kittykatskumkwat · 27/09/2012 16:59

Jojoba are Australians taller the Europeans? Grin at dream

kittykatskumkwat · 27/09/2012 17:04

Plus I know it doesn't natter how many times you hear it but no symptoms really isn't symptomatic of anything, I had non for dd really!! Boobs got bigger throughout pregnancy that's it but all fine, I felt really sick last time and it ended, I'm sure everyone who's had a few will say its different each time but you will be thanking your lucky starts if you miss ms, have you seen the thread in pregnancy with the girl considering termination it's so bad?

Jojoba1986 · 27/09/2012 17:46

Yes, Aussies are especially tall & British people are inherently short. Obviously! Grin

I had basically no symptoms after implementation until my waters broke with DS but this time I'm symptoming it's a word. Shh! all over the shop! Am currently munching a fried egg sarnie just because another MNer mentioned eggs & hash browns & we have no hbs! Should be making dinner but I urgently needed egg! I'm enjoying being a crazy lady pregnant!

FrustratedSycamorePants · 27/09/2012 20:21

Confused so I'm not British? Someone should have told my tall genes that I'm British and meant to be short. [stroppy emoticon]

Mmmmm jojo egg and bacon sarnie with brown sauce. Nom nom. I have a thing about egg, and bacon and savoury. Had egg fried rice yesterday, had egg and pork noodles tonight. Nom nom.

Adding to my symptoming the dreaded constipation has hit. Damn and blast. Now need to eat fruit. (not a fruit lover). Sad
Feel slightly less tired tonight although am already in bed

Grin at frus getting the hump with jojo's dream logic.

Think you might be my twin tho frus, I am tall too. I'd like to be small.

I've been out having fun and it definitely helps with energy levels. Off to bed now though.

I wasn't sure we could eat uncooked eggs so I thought runny fried egg was a no as the yolk is not cooked through?

Jojoba1986 · 27/09/2012 23:36

I think the main concern with runny yolks is that it rhymes with funny jokes is salmonella but chickens are generally vaccinated against it now so it shouldn't be an issue! Besides, I never do what I'm told!

I don't know what's wrong with me today! Absolutely everything was hysterical this afternoon! I was a little concerned I was having some kind of manic episode! DH told me he'd ring after he'd got changed to come home & when I didn't hear anything a little while later I found it hilarious to text back to ask if he was in his undies yet! I then rang his work number & demanded he check his texts (through fits of giggles!) & insisted that he answer while in the middle of a communal office! Poor fella is easily embarrassed! Bad wife! Blush

Jojoba1986 · 28/09/2012 00:11

Seriously, I think I'm going completely bonkers! Just had such a huge giggle fit that I fell off my chair & DH had to help me back up! I tried to stand but fell over again & then got a bit weepy because I couldn't stop laughing! I can't even remember what was so funny in the first place! It may simply have been that runny yolks rhymes with funny jokes... which still makes me giggle now! Grin Hmm Confused

peardrop2 · 28/09/2012 06:24

JoJo have you stopped laughing yet? Grin You and me were chalk and cheese yesterday because I was in a really bad mood where everything and anything wound me up! I hope today is better. I have my scan this morning which I'm once again shitting myself about, no reason too but I just don't like the anticipation of the whole experience!!

Kitty no I've not read the thread about the girl with severe ms. I work with someone who was that bad so I know it's very silly and flippant for me to wish for ms. Truth be told I don't really wish for ms. I think I'm really wishing for a sign that everything will be ok, just like everyone else :-/

peardrop2 · 28/09/2012 06:29

Also it doesn't help that for the last 30 years my mum has drilled it into me that I'm going to have terrible MS because she had it very bad with every child...because of this it has made me very anxious and feel like something is wrong with me if that makes sense.

FrustratedSycamorePants · 28/09/2012 07:09

Oh pear ms doesn't mean pg is more viable or not. In frus logic- you have half your mums genes and half your dads genes, so, did you dad get ms?

OP posts:
IBelieveInPink · 28/09/2012 07:21

Pear, scan this morning? Yays! How exciting, do tell all when you are done? Quite Jels, I would like one. Don't worry, I'm sure all will be fine (easy to say, I know)
I haven't even got an appointment yet, silly midwife hasn't called me back. Grr

kittykatskumkwat · 28/09/2012 07:26

Oh pear I hope that this mornings scan brings you some relief and you see your little baba, WHEN it's ok today stop worrying about your pregnancy being different, my mum was so so ill with me for the whole time however my pregnancy couldn't have been smoother sailing the only similarity is we both gave birth 3 wks early
I did another digi test this morning bad kitty but it has gone up to 3+ so 5 weeks pregnant, it never reached that with last pregnancy so that's quite nice Smile

peardrop2 · 28/09/2012 08:43

Frus I like your mad logic and no funny enough my dad never got bad ms like my mum Grin!! I do have his hair and his mouth so maybe?!

Thanks IBeleive I'll let you know how it goes.

Kitty thank you and yes I'll hopefully worry less after today!! Well done for doing the digi test wish I had done one more and congratulations you're officially 5 weeks plus pregnant :-)

FrustratedSycamorePants · 28/09/2012 08:51

My logic is great pear Wink
I feel nauseous this morning, not helped by being thrown-up on by dd last night. If I didn't feel sick before I do now. [vom emoticon] why haven't we got a vom emoticon?
Can also smell coffee, not good outlook for the day.
