July 2013 part 2

[ArkadyRose]

And on we go!

Arky that sounds amazing!!

Persuasion and Princess, I'm very heartened by your stories of nausea lessening before 12 weeks. It lasted until 16/17 weeks for me last time but it's definitely started earlier this time so I'm just hoping it might finish earlier too. I'll be 10 weeks on Christmas day and I'd really like to be able to enjoy it a bit!

7+6

Jasmine Green Tea Mead sounds awesome Arkady! The other ones in your list sound great too but its the first time I've heard of green tea mead. Hope the decanting didnt make you feel too ill and that you get to enjoy the products of your baking.

I'm not missing booze too much but got v grumpy at the school fair on Saturday when I smelt some mulled wine and really just wanted it!

not sure if I have MS or just a tummy bug
woke up feeling nauseous but this developed into groping tummy pains at work as well as waves of nausea. Drove home at 11am and have been in bed since, just managing to sit upright now but still feeling delicate.

Really hoping it's a bug and I'm not actually going to get MS with this one - I am a bad puker - in that I pass out while being sick and wake up usually somewhere behind the loo with a bruise somewhere. Always think my mum is with me while I'm passed out so doubly worse when I wake up and she isn't

Confused with dates - I think I'm 7+5 but Mrs Wildermac is due same day as me and is 8+4 (I saw 8+3 yesterday)?
Anyway - scan tomorrow will know for sure... Assuming I can get out of bed by then

Sorry you're feeling rubbish chocolate...hope you're feeling well enough for scan tomorrow!

When was your LMP? have just double checked dates and I'm definitely 8+4 and when had scan last Thursday was measuring 8+3, meaning could be 9+0 today, though they said that dates can't be relied on until 12 week scan! Maybe you're further on than you thought?

thinkingof thanks for sharing. Tomorrow morning will see what the GP has to say.

I have had horrible MS and headaches all day. So bad I had to leave work early and hoping I can make it on the train journey home in one piece. This nausea is really really hard work.

All those with MS: it's such a bummer isn't it. There's not much worse than feeling/being sick IMO. Find it is so draining and really stops me doing very much at all.

Nice to hear when others are planning to share the news. I find it sooo hard to decide about things like this. Was considering not fbook sharing at all but am a member of a few clubs who are all on fbook and would be a good way to get the message out to lots at once as want them to know even though they're not my closest of friends. Wasn't clear at all in my last post. Have already ended up telling immediate boss but not big boss, plus 2 team members and a good friend who I work with. They were already starting to guess due to my suddenly awful sickness and absence record and looking like death generally!

Mmmm this talk of mead and mulled wine is making me long for a glass of something nice and warming! Have so far not had more than about 3 sips of DH's wine/beer since got PG but a glass of red wine will be mine on Xmas day, if I can wait that long!

I shouldn't mention then that the Yule spiced tea wine tastes like liquid Christmas pudding then, should I?

oh for mulled wine................. except that. much like the egg, salad cream and cheese sandwhich that I just had to have, it would probably end up making me feel sick

I love mead (weeps at thought of not drinking anything till July) - a good tip some medieval type told me (he was in full jousting gear, it was one of those weekends) was to eat a few squares of chocolate and drink some water before going to bed, stops the hangover. Worth a go.

I feel utterly utterly wretched today. I have a streaming, shivering cold. And the worst bit? Whenever I sneeze I wee. Unbelievable. The indignities of pregnancy are heaped on aren't they? Even at this stage. I'm sitting here in a velour leisure suit (per una, a gift from MIL - first airing it's had since I was laid up after having DS three years ago, I knew it would come in handy) wearing a maternity pad in my knickers. . Too much information? Of course, but who else can I tell?

We've decided to keep schtum till after christmas, when I'll be 11 and a bit weeks. No fb ing for me, I think people will find out soon enough!

In other news, I had my booking in appointment this morning and my midwife is... whisper it... amazing. I only called her on Thursday and she squeezed me in at the last minute, even dropped the forms by hand, round my house, so I could fill them all out before hand. Incredible. After the last few experiences, I'm amazed and really pleased to be eating my words.

9+2 (ish)

Hey special I had to come off the phone earlier... Not due to the coughing but the wee that occurred at the same time. Soooo bad. Very glad I was home alone!
Planning to go public on fb after I've told all the people who'd be livid if that's how they found out. Lol! Such a political minefield!

Spwcial and cut i am in same boat, i have to cross my legs every time i cough. When i vomit it is a disaster. It is making me a bit miserable too. I am being sick more and more. Thank goodness i bought some 'chuckie' bags... On the plus side, supersonic sense of smell meant that i diagnosed a diesel leak on our car this morning.

Thanks for the reminder to do pelvic floor exercises Special! So glad you have a fab midwife.

Oh thank god it's not just me. I felt like such a massive loser when it happened. Nothing special about these knickers, unfortunately.

Had a fun afternoon dashing from work to A &E to deal with Ds2 who managed to split his head playing hide and seek - he cunningly took on a radiator and lost. Fortunately it wasnt too bad and they managed to glue it shut. Ds2 was a trooper bless him.

My god, stinker, that is a lot of drama. Hope your ds is ok.

I have been feeling nauseous for weeks but was sick for the first time today. No more orange juice for me, ever.

10+5

Bessie - what you saying about me?? Fortunately pregnancy gas isnt a symptom I'm suffering from this time round.... Sorry to hear the OJ struck back.

Oh goodness, I love OJ at the moment - been drinking it like the oranges are dying for weeks. I couldn't bear it if it turned bad - poor you!

Well, in fairness, it wasn't the orange juice that made me throw up. It was a particularly disgusting act by a neighbour that made me sick (I am a delicate flower) and I had drunk loads of OJ beforehand.

Family crisis to deal with! Who else is it has in laws in Oz? Be warned, mine have just announced flights all booked for within weeks of when baby due! FFS! They didn't even ask! DH really pissed off and family warfare has broken out!!!

Mead? Mmmm, sounds divine. Incidentally been told that M&S alcohol free mulled wine is v nice. Worth a try I guess.

8+3

orange how annoying. Presumably your inlaws are going to stay in a hotel? You could book them in as a thoughtful surprise.

Second the B&B/hotel/short term let flat suggestion. I sspect they are hugely excited at the prospect of their GC and not really thinking...

Hmmm not really thinking sums it up!

8+3 today (was one ahead of myself yesterday), and my boobs are in agony, I swear to god they might just explode!!! And the nausea is making me eat like a horse as carbing stops the icky feeling. I quaffed a whole tin of Pringles last night!!! Eeeek!

How is everyone else's symptoms?

Welcome and congrats newbies

I have my booking in appointment today, excited and nervous. After MMC in September this one has come around very quickly, and although I have tons of symptoms, eating all the time, extreme tiredness and boobs which are agony, I still can't help but worry - I guess its only natural. Annoying thing is apart from a pee sample I doubt they can give me any more reassurance today, just have to wait for scan in 2 weeks time.

I want pate

My bladder is starting to suffer.. Up at least once per night now to pee.

I usually struggle with sleeping, and at least that does not seem to be an issue. Fell asleep before I was supposed to go out Sunday and was late. I have only ever slept in the day if seriously poorly.

Fighting a lurgie, all my glands are up, but think flu jab is doing its job.

I have already told DH that inlaws are not checking in here when we have a new born. He said they would not be any trouble. Yeah right, the last thing I will want it to think about visitors. My mum would be a big help, my dad would probably be hard work too so it also applies to my family.
Problem is we live miles from them and asking them to stay in hotel does seem mean. Maybe I will feel more relaxed by June. mmm maybe not.

Scan tomorrow.... most of my nerves given way to excitement as thinking my belly can't be that fat ....... It's so tough to keep the positive vibes after two missed MC. Glad to know I am not alone though in all my fears and concerns. It's going to feel like a huge milestone has passed if all ok tomorrow.
xxxx Love the santas

I'm due 19th July with dc3, very upset today cos I hid my notes in the car as I didn't want anyone to see them and found out today that someone went looking through my car without asking last night. I'm a cm and child had lost a glove, I know I should have locked it but still had to go back out for pack ups etc. mum had a good look through and my notes had been pulled out of the hiding place.

This is a planned pregnancy but now I feel like I'm being forced into telling people before she blabs to everyone, I have a few health issues and was waiting until 12 week scan after Xmas to announce to everyone.

Think hormones are making it worse, does anyone else feel really emotional already?
