September 2013 part 2 - there's LOADS of us!

[Wincher]

New thread created in haste before the old one fills up!

Goodness, I go away for one little log weekend and you're all halfway through a new Fred! Seems there's a bazillion more of us too which is good!

I guess I haven't got a hope of catching up properly so I'll just toddle off and read back a few pages.

to everyone

Ok, firstly to purple and oltt

Secondly, spanishlady I'm so glad you said about feeling like there must have been a mistake and there's really no baby as that's exactly how I've been feeling! Have mentioned it to DH once or twice who thinks I'm stark raving mad!

I'm 6+4 today and still no nausea for me. I'm permanently starving and knackered, and my boobs are on a mission for world domination but honestly if I hadn't POAS all of my symptoms could be easily overlooked

Had my initial appt with the midwife last Thursday, she seemed a little surprised I didn't have any nausea but not really concerned. Waiting for my booking in appt to come through now.

Ha hetty it's been bedtime in our house for the last hour. In my jammies and watching tv on my laptop waiting for DH to get in. Went to sleep at 9.30 last night.

kitten I never know whether I feel sick or hungry!!

gosh, can't believe how busy this thread is. Each time I blink there's another message.
Finding it hard not to vomit on the bus tonight. This nausea is driving me crazy. Its been constant since week 4! is it true that it eases off after 12 weeks?

Kimjayne - mine eased at about 12-14 weeks last time, and I was just ravenous all the time!

haribo tangfastics, stolen from the children....nom nom nom...got rid of nausea! Never go for sweets normally!

Zeuxippe I am constantly freezing at the moment and even wearing a scarf at work! I have to end the day with a hot bath just to thaw out....

I really struggled at work today, so tired.

Thankfully on the sofa now with blanket and iPad while DH sorts dinner.

dietcoke yeah it is a weird kind of hunger isn't it. I never feel like Oooh I just fancy a bit of whatever - it's always like omg I have to eat right now. Maybe it would turn into nausea if I stopped eating for more than 5 minutes lol

So sorry purple and oltt

Sickness really kicked in over the weekend not so much being sick but certainly feeling it constantly it wakes me up in the night then i can't get back to sleep.

Had a snooze when I got home from work now sat on the sofa with blanket watching sleepless in Seattle while DH makes tea.

Going to have to get some tangtastics got some sherbet lemons which help.

Yes yes to the freezing people! I know you get boiling hot by the end but I have been v chilly these last few weeks.

I think my tiredness is easing a little, I can't be bothered to do anything but I think that's turning back into good old fashioned laziness rather than true incapacity. Still continuing to feel sick though - I have a little window in the morning where it is more manageable, but it comes on with a vengeance at half eleven, then again at half four or five, and at bedtime. Managed to vomit hugely at 6pm then go on to devour 2 chicken fajitas 3 minutes later. It's like reverse bulimia.

Feeling a but daunted as husband leaving for 3 nights, am floored by sickness still and have work people round for dinner tomorrow night. This is not my doing - it's supposed to be easier for me than getting a babysitter for a work meeting but I think it's backfired! I am actually going to have to eat twice, I'll never get to half seven or eight without the nausea finishing me off otherwise. Joy.

Welcome to all the newcomers. I am now about 8+3 and officially fed up of waiting for some confirmation that all is well! Bring on the scan! (Not til feb 9th). Having the add mark test this time round so nervous as didn't screen with my first two children. Not sure why I am doing it this time tbh. But think I need to know what is happening this time and prepare existing children. Or something!

By august, we will all be wishing we were cold! Dont complain too much!

smiling at the funny symptoms we're having.... I too haven't been able to hold my tounge at work....I'm in charge of the office move thats happening this week (ffs!!!) and have become very sweary about it, which is not really like me at work, been there nearly 6 years and were a close team so they know me well and i think some of the girls are a little scarred frm my extreme grumpness when I was pg with DS 3 yrs ago! so i think they may have an inckling as to whats going on!..........
No real nausea yet, lots of tiredness and lots of hunger too.... still not sure its real so peeing on sticks on a regular basis, got 30 of the cheap ebay ones fro £2.49 when started to ttc and got up duffed on first month of trying so got plenty ha! also decided that if am still pg in 2 weeks will get a private scan as am far too impatient to wait till 12 weeks to 'know' all is ok.......

just ran so fast to the bathroom to be sick that i fell over! landed with all my weight on my knees. i must be a little over emotional today as I literally burst into tears!

god! Agree with the cold thing. I'm freezing!
I mean, I know it's cold outside, but I'm sooo cold. All the time.

And yes. So grumpy. My poor kids.

Oh Kimjayne, you poor thing. Wrap up in a blanket and have a nice relax.

Dp is out tonight so I have given in and am currently watching Silent Witness on the iPad in bed with a hot water bottle.

Oh the rock 'n' roll lifestyle!

I've had a hot water bottle permanently attached to me for the last week! Sadly I've got to go to the office tomoro....not sure how I'm going to survive without it for the day!

My 'what to expect' app told me to go swimming, do I just did a Pilates class & went for a swim....thought I was going to collapse on the way home I was soo hungry afterwards!

Yep Zeuxippe I'm freezing too! Welcome btw. Also feeling sick all the time except when I've eaten. Really don't want to put on too much weight this time so trying to eat fruit etc. when I'm hungry and nauseous. Although I did devour two crumpets earlier.....

at all the other crones. Glad I'm not the only one xx

I was FREEZING about a week or more ago (around the 6 week mark) but now not so much.
I am now feeling nauseaus from waking till about 8pm, though thankfully no actual puking.
And shattered beyond belief.

Really want to get out running again and going to try tomorrow morning because strangely I just don't feel nauseous when i'm running but am soooo tired that i need a nap afterwards if i do.

Is anyone else starting to feel a little bit isolated from society? The whole no drinking thing has put a sharp stop to seeing friends for dinners etc. I've been avoiding people since christmas, and I almost feel disinclined to talk to friends on the phone cause hate lying to them about something so big! On top of all that, I am getting a little bit stressed about what the general reaction to the baby news will be, as we are (pretty much) the first of our friends to get pg. The only (couple) friends we've told reacted initially quite well, but now never ever mention it/ ask/ talk about it - like it's not happening. Really awkward.
I know I shouldn't stress about things like that, and my friends will be there whatever happens, but I am having an emotional wobble!

eeknumber3 oh yes, tangfastics are the thing....already demolished 2 bags over the weekend!

Ps- I've been freezing too! I made the mistake of googling it and it told me I might have hypothyroidism. Really glad it's not just me and I can put that crazy theory behind me...

It's been the coldest temps overnight the last few nights but I had woken up literally swimming in sweat. Like I've wet myself. Did you know ankles sweat?!

My boobs are easing off, nips are tender but boobs as a whole are 3/10 sore now. Nausea is also improving. I have 30 mins nausea free when I get up, then about an hour of 5/10 nausea (10 being wrapped round toilet bowl), then that's it....... Does this mean I am ahead of you girls, or just lucky?!

Also, just to rub it in a bit more ...... I have a scan tomorrow
I booked in on thurs with the midwife, and I have a consultant apt next Tuesday too.

Going to see the GP on Weds (finally, will be 8 wks!) Think I'll have to take three-year-old DS2 with me. I'm really hoping he doesn't latch onto the word pregnant and spill the beans to everyone!

jm233, i know exactly what you mean. We are also the first couple within our close group of friends to get pg. Whats worse is that two of our mates (married couple) tried to conceive last year with no luck and another couple are highly non maternal! So I have a feeling we will get mixed opinions when we spill the beans. Im not missing going out too much but agree with you on missing the interaction. I've even avoiding seeing people too. Mainly because i find it hard to hide the sickness but also for fear of slipping up on my own lies. I hate the lying more than anything.
When are you gonna tell your friends?

Kim- You're right, it's not the going out, but spending time with people, and not feeling like you can't now that your preggers!
I think we'll tell our really close friends this we, provided the 8 week scan is good, everyone else at 12 weeks (my mum knows and his parents away for a month now).
I feel bad cause it sounds like I'm moping, but I'm really not, and we are both so excited for this little bean! It's just a lot to get my head around!
