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

Ladies, I let the side down today.

I sobbed - openly and with big snotty snorts - in the office.

Fortunately, the one girl I've confided in was lovely and steered me away to the toilets.

I've clearly gone insane (or is that ga-ga?).

Think was just a combination of exhaustion, too much work and yesterday being so horrible and pukey. And possibly being pregnant Blush

wilderumpus · 19/10/2012 16:22

aw terror how lovely! No bump yet though hope so soon :)

I have spent my day mostly trying to parent from the settee with the help of a cbeebies mag, craft stuff and tv. I feel really tired out and pukey! Why has DS dropped his nap now of all times?!

beaver what side have you let down? you must be so tired and being pukesome is completely draining. get thee into jammies asap and sniffle into a blanket in front of the tv. why did you cry, was it just hormonal? hope you ok x

wild there's no visible bump though thank god.

beaver ^everything wild said, do! Hope you are ok though and it's 'just' a hormone thing :)

wilderumpus · 19/10/2012 16:38

i know the bump you mean, i cannot wait to feel it i check every morning

sorry beaver i didn't mean 'just' hormonal! don't mean to trivialise your upset! Blush

TerrorCottaPumpkinPie · 19/10/2012 16:53

Shit wild I didn't mean it like that when I put the 'just' in. I meant that I hoped it was just hormones rather than anything else upsetting Beaver!

Re bump: You're going to have me checking every morning now!

Picklep · 19/10/2012 17:00

Finally got my scan date , 1st November so I'll be 12+ 5. God it's going to be an anxious wait, things have just gone so quiet symptom wise. Fingers and toes crossed!

Tears here too today, was at a friend's house who was making something and she started spraying LOADS of Shellac sealant spray, it was SO strong and I didn't know how to get away. Opened a window and said it was strong smelling. Left shortly later but cried all the way home because I was worried it could have damaged the baby! I only had about 6 breaths of the stuff but it doesn't take a lot at the moment to start me off. I cried yesterday over a pigeon in the underground carpark, because I thought that it wouldn't get back out, I gave it the end off my french stick!!!! Thankfully I was on my own. Blush

LittleBairn · 19/10/2012 17:09

beaver don't be silly it's sounds like your busy and stressed, a completely Normal reaction pregnant or not.

I on the other hand almost cried in town today when none of the bakeries had Cheese and Onion pasties available it was only 3:30pm how could the have run out alread?! Blush

Has anyone got any nice plans for the weekend? We need to buy a chest of drawers for our bedroom, and may go out for a meal tomorrow night, but don't know where so we probably won't!!!

6 days till scan :)

10 + 5

Ellypoo · 19/10/2012 17:11

I haven't experienced the random crying yet - sure it won't be long though!!!

beaver, sounds like you are shattered and hormonal, and still feeling really sick - no wonder you cried, are you able to chill this weekend?

LittleBairn · 19/10/2012 17:22

elly nothing planned yet just looking forward to spending some time with DH. We usually eat out regularly sometimes a few times a week but since ms hit I just can't face restaurants. Not so much in what we would order its that someone near by might order something strong smelling.

mwncigirl · 19/10/2012 17:42

Hello ladies, we'd love to go out for a meal but we're really skintSad. Coming down with a cold today, feeling poo. How bizarre to want some more preggers symptoms though, seems an age till my scan on the 29th.

berri · 19/10/2012 17:52

Had a crap morning - had a big bright red bleed so had to go into docs, but she checked heartbeat and felt my cervix and said it was still closed so all seems ok for now.

12 week scan tomorrow so hopefully everything will be measuring correctly.

Planning on not moving much this weekend!

rachywhite83 · 19/10/2012 18:00

Finished work today for half term. Joys of life in school ! Off to Tunisia on Sunday. Was supposed to be our baby making second honeymoon! (celebrating a year of being married on Monday) bit late though !!! Ha ha

mwncigirl · 19/10/2012 18:02

Oh berri sounds really scary. Scan should reassure though. Take it easy eh.

beaver33 · 19/10/2012 18:02

Thanks guys. Yes, I'm 'just' hormonal and over-tired and (wilde and Terror) I was not affronted by your justs! (weeps profusely in a corner)

Had to laugh at you LittleBairn - totally would have done the same thing. A cheese and onion pasty is a lifeline, I tell you.

I went to our canteen earlier and nearly cried because they'd taken the hot stuff away - so no chips! Boo.

berri that sounds horrible - what a fright you must have had. Glad you're planning on taking it easy. Try not to worry - from what I keep hearing, this sort of thing does happen around 12 weeks. Just in time to scare us all senseless.

Good luck with the scan! x

Kittykatmacbill · 19/10/2012 18:19

Good to hear you all have random crying stories - I nearly made myself cry because someone who sits near me in the office comes to my desk when she puts stuff in my bin! - she has stopped using my bin. Blush

Picklep · 19/10/2012 18:32

kittykat ha! That did make me chuckle. I cried like a banshee last week because DH ate the last of the mini-cheddars! He won't do that again.

LittleBairn · 19/10/2012 18:42

beaver Grin glad someone understands. Especially as it was a little treat to myself being lactose intolerent, which seems to be much better now I'm pregnant.
I think I might need to go down early tomorrow. Owning just to guarantee myself one.

picklep Shock I would have been furious is that was my DH, mini chedders were the only thing I could eat and keep a hold of last week. I bought two large tubs and kept them to myself. Blush
The last few days I felt my appitite return a little and can now eat small meals but still feel awful in the evening.

wilderumpus · 19/10/2012 19:00

kitty that made me laugh!

little I hope you get your pasty tomorrow :)

I have felt dreadful all afternoon, my eyes were closing when DS was having his tea and I just feel so sick. Haven't been so symptomy for a few days, but had a big day yesterday (DH's b'day) and hardly slept because I ate too much, too late Blush We went out for our one and only dinner of the year and had a massive blow out Grin

berri oh that must have been frightening - but so lovely you got to see your MW and listen in and be reassured so quickly. and scan tomorrow, yay!

I am going to bed super early tonight and working this weekend, boo.

Ellypoo · 19/10/2012 19:04

Oh Berri, that's really scary - good that they heard the heartbeat etc, and that you've got your scan tomorrow, hope all is well x

Just had a packet of mini cheddars - waiting for DH to come home & make me curry & chips for dinner!!! Having a very chilled night tonight - am shattered after this week!!

Can't wait to find out that everything is ok at the scan on Thursday & then be able to tell everyone (and start wearing maternity clothes!!!).

wilderumpus · 19/10/2012 19:41

ooooh everyone. I feel reet poorly :( Am too feeble even to head upstairs to my study to work, which is stressing me out cause I have deadlines to meet and promised myself getting pg would not interfere with work.

bleugh [sick, sick, sick emoticon] am feeling very sorry for myself.

(but you know, love being pg, but... arf.)

LittlePickleHead · 19/10/2012 21:06

YY to random crying, poor DH doesn't know what he can and can't say at the moment! I broke down in tears earlier because the bedsheets were still wet from the dryer (err - put them on for longer?!)

I'm getting a cold/cough, just as I thought I was coming out of the terrible tiredness. Sat DD in front of Dora earlier and managed a 30 min nap on the sofa. Feel a bit guilty as she really isn't getting the best of me at the moment. Hoping I'll get energy back so I can make it up and get active with her soon

LittleBairn · 19/10/2012 21:35

wild & littlepickle so sorry your ill. Hope you both manage to get some rest.

elspartacus · 19/10/2012 21:36

It seems like a day for crying! I was in tears earlier which I put down to multiple things - but I know hormones are a major factor...
Really hope things settle and you have a chilled out weekend Berri.
