May 2013 - roll on 12 weeks!

[DizziDoll]

Thread n2 for those due in May 2013

No little I was up between 12-1 and now I might try to go to bed later as I was asleep at 9 tonight
On the egg front you can definatly have almost every shop bought mayo etc and cold saw just check it is made with pasteurised eggs that's all, in all honesty when I went out I never found one restaurant or shop that made their own with real eggs

I'll join the insomnia club. I was up 2am-4am having only got to sleep at midnight. DD2 then woke me half an hour ago.

this Guardian article convinced me that soft eggs are ok

kitty I'm at your restaurants not making their own mayo.

Yes littleb you can have helmans. My new list from mw sheet says no veg pate. Although I don't understand that one.

tweety I had spd with dd1 but not with dd2. I think and don't quite me on this that the joints have already moved etc in 1st pregnancy, so theoretically don't need to more again.
*disclaimer, actually I have no idea why it didn't affect me the 2nd time, and I'm sure you'll find a few ladies who had it worse the 2nd time.

Apparently, all types of pâté (veg or meat) carry a risk of listeria so that's why you can't eat it. It seems the additional high level of vit a in meat pate make it the devil's food to pg women

The pate is the only thing I'm gutted about! There goes my traditional Christmas day breakfast!

Mine too Bunnychan! I am going to have smoked salmon and scrambled eggs instead. With a glass of champers as we will be nearly 20 weeks then so one glass won't hurt.

Yes, I second the smoked salmon and a glass of champers on Christmas morning.

I'm hoping the spd thing isn't true, I had it during my second trimester and was hobbling round like an old woman. Weirdly it got better towards the end. I was really hoping to exercise throughout the pregnancy (this hasnt materialised yet as I've been feeling so terrible!) so I'll be gutted if I get it again.

I have some sad news. I went in for another scan on Thursday at 7+1 and they didn't find anything in the gestational sac. There had been a yolk but no fetal pole. The yolk had mostly dissolved and the pregnancy was definitely not viable (blighted ovum). MY pregnancy symptoms have never been particularly strong but I had no spotting or cramping either. I went in for a D&C yesterday to have it removed. Physically I'm doing fine but psychologically I'm a wreck but I thought I should let you know. It's a terrible thing but even upon reflection, I'm still glad we were able to conceive.

Good luck to every one else!

Good morning everybody!
my DP woke me up to give DD1 her milk (Saturday is my turn to do it) but I'm exhausted! I didn't want to drink coffee this weekend (I already have 2 decaf at workdays... :() but I think I should now
thanks little and frustrated for answering my questions. good to know. :)

medusa I'm so sorry for your news and heart goes out to you. Take it easy and i hope you're being looked after and getting lots of hugs. Like you say, the fact you conceived is positive so fingers crossed for you for the next time x

Really sorry to hear that medusa. for you.

How come you were having scans if you don't mind me asking? x

I am very sorry MissMedusa. Take care of yourself. xx

So sorry to hear that Medusa, look after yourself xx

I'm very sorry to hear this missmedusa. :( If you start trying again as soon your GP recommends you do, it might be quicker for you to conceive.

Also in the insomnia club. Bed at 9ish, up at 0645 (lie in till 7 at weekends - I'm so decadent!) and in between that I'll be awake or dozing fitfully for several hours between the late night wee and the early hours of the morning wee. Might sleep between then and the "still night but getting towards getting up time" wee. Back pain not helping me get to sleep in the first place though. Don't actually think it's pregnancy related but last time it was this bad, my GP advised me to stop trying for a baby till it was fixed as I'd be setting myself up for all sorts of problems. Bit bloody late now!

Presumably home made pate is okay, as long as you eat it as soon as you make it?

Anybody else starting to notice something that definitely isn't just water retention and bloating? Just done a wardrobe inventory as I'm usually not bloated in the morning and in the trouser section all I now have are 2 pairs of jeans, only one pair of which is fit to leave the house in (and the others are getting a bit snug tbh), one pair of velvet jeans and a lifesaving pair of yoga pants. Reckon I've got about 2 more weeks before all except the yoga pants are uncomfortable. Hoping DH's trousers can get me through at work until 12 week scan - really don't want to go into maternity uniform before then.

Oh Medusa, I'm so sorry - thinking about you and good luck for next time xx

Hi everyone. Had my first dr appointment yesterday so its all official now. I'm like you Little B and just joined a new surgery. So far so good. The dr completed the forms for the hospital I want and said all my dealings now will be with the midwife unless they think there's a reason to get a dr involved. So, just waiting now, she said I'd get two dates - for 12 week scan and for booking in. I'm 9 weeks today - only actually found out I was pregnant 10 days ago! So I've been eating and drinking all the wrong things for the first 7 weeks! At least it means I shouldn't have to wait too long for my scan etc.

Good to hear I'm not the only one who is bloated. I thought it was because I've been eating so much but I've actually lost 1 1/2 lb in the last fortnight. Probably cos I stopped drinking!! As for ms, I've just been knackered and feeling sick so I think I'm getting off quite lightly. Thats how mum was too so good genes!

So sorry to hear your news missmedusa. I have a couple of colleagues & friends who have suffered mc, two of them multiple, so I'm wishing the next 3 weeks away so I can feel more settled and confident.

I'll add myself to the list - so exciting to see so many of us. I'm getting a lot of confidence from reading all your experience and seeing parallels with mine!

Deep unfairness - I adore tea but am limiting myself to a cup each Sat & Sun as a weekend treat. Just had my first cup of the weekend, it was delicious - and has made me feel really dizzy and nauseous and I haven't had any MS at all so far (and I'm 9+4 so surely would have kicked in by now?). Damn damn damn :( Off to make myself some lemon and ginger in an attempt to feel better enough to tackle some housework.

weatherwitch same thing happened to me, have avoided caffeine and had a tea in the week, felt vey peculiar! I'm sticking to decaffeinated Earl Grey with slice of lemon, its more bearable then decaffeinated normal tea. Right, off to eat my weight in dippy eggs and soldiers!

Welcome Elephant, i'm jealous you only found out at 9 weeks, such a short waiting time till the 12th week! Congratulations!

MissMedusa So sorry.Make sure you rest up.Thinking of you.

I haven't had any ms either and i like you WeatherWitch would have thought it kicked in by now.

I want to get this week over with and i desperately want my scan letter to come through.I can't really sleep at all at the moment.I am in work today and trying not to fall asleep.

Forgot to add my dates.

8+1

It's normal where I live to start having scans at 5 weeks if you're privately insured. I was always a bit hesitant to believe in this pregnancy though as I got my bfp quite late (18dpo). Everything seemed to be going a little slower than I had expected as well although my HCG levels were doubling as they were supposed to be.

So sorry to hear your sad news medusa wishing you lots of luck and love in the future

Make sure you rest up missmedusa sorry you're going through all this

missmedusa I'm so sorry this has happened too you.
