May 2013 Third Thread.

[SecretCervix]

Sorry for the not very imaginative title. Noticed old thread was full and couldn't find a new one.

Hi Pickle. I'm with you on the nasal issues. Not surprising we pg ladies feel nauseous, when you consider what's running down my throat! I cough and gag and spit for ages every morning, and more later. (Sorry for TMI)

Sigh.

Hi ladies, its been a while! Just taken me ages to catch up with 4 days of posts! Anyway, 13+2 now and waiting for the spots to disappear. Really annoyed as well as I woke up today with mega hormonal craziness. I had so much planned for today (last day of half term!) and only got bits of it done cos I'm so grumpy and lacking energy. Suppose I'd best try and get on with it really. Maybe some fruit and nut will inspire me.....

bunny, hey scan buddy i didn't want to wear maternity clothes until after the scan either but I've had to cave and wear maternity trousers. I had been going for the leggings with a dress/jumper look but it was parents eve last week (teacher) so couldn't get away with being that casual...they are well comfy!

I too have suffered with the phlegm (gross) makes me cough and gag at the same time ( double gross)

lollypop and rhienne so glad you guys brought up the gagging business, that is exactly same as me. I sound dreadful in the morning, coughing gagging, snorting, it's a phlegmy mess! What with the oily skin and hair and the spots - I'm a real treat! haha.

Hey lolly I was all spread out in my last 2 girl pregnancies.

frustrated I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be delighted to be expecting a girl so i have my fingers crossed but another boy would be just lovely too.

To the fellow teachers- I got no planning done today as I ended up having an afternoon nap! I can get away with leggings and dresses though so that's good. I live 40 mins from work so I have been given the day off for the scan! :-)
My spots are horrible- they all have yellow crap in them and no heads! I'm a proper pizza face and yet I escaped them during puberty! On a funny note, just found out that my cousin is pg and due in may too! Lol x

Oh 10, you poor thing. I haven't had any full on panic attacks, but I certainly didn't really enjoy myself at the craft fair I went to a couple of weekends ago. Too crowded, too hot, too loud, set off my MS something terrible. Between hormones messing with our emotions, and then all the physical blahness, it's hard to handle crowds. Don't want to think about a night club (not that that's ever really my scene).

I guess by dec you will have told your friends, so they'll know. What sort of do is your friend having? Can you go for some of it, but head home early before it gets late/raucous? Though maybe that's no fun either.

I also had a reprieve from ms, but it's definitely back. Foolish me to think that a couple of days with more energy meant that I could stay up past 21:00. Back to the breakfast cereal 3 times a day, and into bed before having a life.

Bring on that second trimester glow!

10 have you had them before at all? Pre-pregnancy I mean? I only ask as I've had anxiety attacks periodically through the years increasing at times of stress but I've had a couple for no real reason this pregnancy. No real reason in that they were in circumstances that wouldnt normally bother me. They are shitty. Put it down to the joys of pregnancy .

God I want a sausage roll. Or a cheese and onion pasty. Or a sausage roll. From somewhere like greggs. But it's a Sunday. And it's after half 9 at night. I think I'm going to be dreaming about them. Sausage rolls.....mmmmm.....with lashings of ketchup....

13+5

Oh, in case it was really difficult to work out (well you are all pregnant ), I have now no longer got my Halloween name.

Did I mention I want a sausage roll?

Evening

10- sorry you had a crap time. You should def go to the civilised meal in December and get your partner to collect you. A GOO friend will appreciate your effort and completely understand your leaving after it no matter what has gone before.

Just a Quicky- next have some maternity gear in their online clearance for those of you daring to spend yet!

My scan still a week away yet :-( seems ages!

Hope all ok and pleased to hear all about good scans! Can't believe we only have one set of twins so far... ;-)

Interesting to hear how people's pregnancies have differed from previous ones. I've never suffered much from morning sickness in any of mine (sorry!), but with DS I only wanted savoury junk food, with DD I wanted pain au chocolat ad donuts! This time I'm loving cheese and other savoury, so I'm leaning towards thinking boy. I honestly don't mind which it is, DS wants a brother, but I think it would be nice for DD if its a girl as there'll be 17 or 18 months between them.

Very jealous of those having scans this week!

Ooh terra you've made me want a sausage roll!

scooby plenty of scans left, we could still have more as long as its not me

Didn't realise you were having yours close together too seven. I'll have 16/17 months between this one and DC3 (although knowing me it will definitely be 17 months as they dont tend to like coming out on time!). So I'd kind of like a boy again for that reason as well. But girl works fine too!

scooby I thought that about the twins too! Still plenty of scans to come though

Sort of a cross post there seven only I was busy thinking of sausage rolls and took too long to type

Who had the twins?? I must have missed that one
I will have about 19/20 months between mine all being well, I've felt more sicky and had spots so was wondering boy but I do know someone who had 3 totally different pregnancys and 3 boys so i will try not to read to much into it!
Still no scan date for me, I definatly think I will be the last one
Sorry to hear your panic attack 10, it can be overpowering in crowded rooms I think if it's not obvious to others your pregnant aswell, hope it works out ok in dec, I'm sure she will understand, I've got one this wkend so having to come out sooner then I'd hoped

terra yes, our gap will be 17 months too, if this one arrives a month early like the other two did. How old is your DC1? DS will be 5 in June so I'll only just have 3 under 5.

kittykats how long ago did you have booking with your MW? I only ask as I rang the hospital after a fortnight, good job I did as the referral had obviously been made as they knew how far along I was but the scan just hadn't been booked. How far are you now?

Do we have many scans this week?

11+0

I only booked in last week, well a week tomorrow, it seemed quite late but I had also put it off a week so it could be on a tue which was my day off, by my reaconing I'd only be 10+3 putting me right on the cusp anyway, not that these edd means that much by the sounds if things, my dd was 3 weeks earlier too!

10 I know exactly what you mean about your senses being completely overwhelmed. I went into my aunts house yesterday and the smell of gas coming from their kitchen was making me so sick. They got their new hob put in a month ago so it's just a lingering smell but ugh its horrible. And we were in Tescos the other day and the combination of the smells, noises and chatter from people just made me feel horrible. I've never really been like that before

On a slightly cheerier note though I have my first official scan this afternoon. I'm ridiculously worried although I had one 2 weeks ago at 11.5 weeks and all was okay. So the odds are on my side today IYKWIM. I'm still pretty nervous though. I think it's in large part because one of my good friends found out at her 12 week scan that there was a problem with the baby's heart and they lost the baby. I'm 13.5 weeks now though and both previous scans (a private at 9weeks and an emergency scan at 11.5 weeks) have both shown a good heartbeat. I think I'm just trying to give myself stuff to worry about at this stage quite frankly!

Couldthisbeit, I am pregnant with DC3, have 2 DS. This preganancy I have had round the clock nausea which is lessening now. Had it in the morning just the last times. I also get a knawing (sp) hunger as well, I wake up at night with it. I already have quite a bump but my stomach muscles were shot to pieces so it showed so quickly, its upsetting me TBH cause I hate people going 'Your ONLY XYZ weeks' !! I have given in and am wearing maternity clothes but at 14 weeks it seems so early. I loved sour drinks last time but seem to prefer sweet drinks now. Who knows.

Morning ladies!

10 that sounds horrible, and it does put you in a difficult position, but I completely get it if you're mediating and the trusted adviser. But I don't think any good friend would want to see you so upset at your surroundings you're weeping in the loos. I'm always very sensitive about how other people might be feeling, and the other day someone said something very wise to me - she said: 'You just haven't realised yet that the someone else you have to think about most it right there inside you.' The way you feel in those awful, panic-attack inducing situations is a protection mechanism for little bub. Do yourself, and baby, a favour and avoid them. Your friends will understand.

Terra I soooo want a cheese and onion pasty now. That's gone and done it. How can I be living in South London and NOT be near a Greggs? That's almost prehistoric. What about you, Little - you're a fellow pasty-craver

Completely forgot to tell you this awful story when I posted my scan news the other day. I was at King's and waiting for DH to arrive pre-scan and, as usual, needed to go to the loo.

So I went to the ladies just inside the doors and was quite happily sitting there doing my business, pants around my ankles, when I suddenly had this weird feeling that I was being watched (I know, crazy...).

Anyway, I looked up and one of the roof tiles in the ceiling was propped open. I saw a quick flash of movement and the tile dropped back into place....!!!

I was like, ....

Went to the on-site security office to complain and the woman in there said they had builders in and that there should have been a warning notice on the toilet door! I pointed out to her quite angrily that if they knew the builders were going to be peeping in on the ladies loos perhaps they should close them.

Not a great way to start a scan experience....and I'm convinced the builders were just being disgusting.

urgh.

13+0 today!! Cheerio first trimester!

Omg at beavers story!
Unbelievable!

Good luck weeblueberry, I'm sure it will all be well x
