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

[Wincher]

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

Elasticated, even.

Interestingly, thinking about kitten's experiments, I've just realised that my worsening nausea and today's first vomiting has happened since I ran out of b-complex vitamins, which Dr Google reports help with ms. So if anyone is struggling, it might be worth trying B6 or a B vitamin complex.

May well just be a coincidence, or might just be that this is my time for throwing up.

Hi everybody can I join you?

Had my BFP 19/01 will be DC2
EDD 27th of Sept.

Cant seem to add myself probably because I'm on my phone.

Feeling mostly just bloody knackered and just waiting for the sickness to kick in!

Agree about feeling backed up, I really hope it gets better! Horrible feeling hungry but not wanting to eat!

Batfuttocks - bring on the poo talk - I was so relieved last night after ahem 'dropping the kids off at the pool' that I actually texted my sister just to tell her I HAVE JUST DONE A POO. I feel that since she is 33 weeks pg she will appreciate my relief! (plus she delivered DD so we have no secrets)

Haha, I felt like that last night, but by this morning I felt just as bad again grr

So true though, nothing better than a good clear out when you eel like this!

Odd third time round seeing my belly pop out again. I had to gain about three quarters of a stone whilst tic to help get cycles back to normal after running made them go weird, so although I have normal BMI I am used to being pretty toned and fit and was already a bit fed up of my squishy body when I fell pregnant. Now I am having to eat to avoid nausea and its quite hard letting go and letting myself get bigger again. I have never yet struggled to lose baby weight, but it's the lack of tone and loss of fitness I'm finding hard. I am so nauseous currently, and exhausted, that I have abandoned my usual exercise the last few weeks. Hopefully I can pick it up again in a week or two if this stops being so debilitating. There was a point where it helped the nausea and tiredness, but then it just went horrific, with a real motion-sickness thing, so I have mostly been lying still the last few weeks.

Can I join the party?

Found out yesterday morning. Approximately 5 weeks, so due 22nd September ish.

First month trying and it works! Shocked as I expected it all to go wrong (family history). Still nervous of MC but I need to try my best to ignore the fear.

I'm sticking to low impact batfuttocks- swimming, Pilates & country walks all the way! Went to Body Balance tonight & I was definitely struggling with the balance part....

Sore sore boobage! The shower felt painful today! And a top that had lace on top- the lace brushed against them and it really hurt!!
Also relieved to see others with stomachs that feel suspiciously firmer. or maybe it's just my imagination

Love a bit of poo talk and can't wait to hear first few reports of scans and maybe twins!
The problem is with the clear outs is that it feels great but 24 hrs later and you're backed up again, am sure it contributes to pot belly etc.
The last week have been having waves of feeling sick which are only relieved by either sugar based things (haribo) or carbs (toast). So am just trying to nibble when needed instead of the whole packet or half a loaf.
And cravings are really kicking in...I dreamt about big American style TGIs or similar bacon cheeseburgers....mmmmm

I just ate a whole bag of Tangfastics . Thought I'd share.

Share the confession, not the bag of sweets of course...

Hi all. Have only posted the first time am a bit slack but have been reading!

I am 5+1 now I think and wishing I hadn't found out so soon as this week has been dragging! Have no symptoms really not even sore boobs which I had last time, am hopeing it's because I'm still breastfeeding - anyone else still breastfeeding?

Had an early scan lsat time because of bleeding so got to see the heartbeat at around 7 weeks but feel like this time it's going to go soooo slow.

I am contantly hungry though if that is a symtom, I always thought it was a myth. Have also been feeling dizzy and faint when I stand up a lot.

Half a bag here carrie!

OOOF! I have just been out for my work christmas dinner. I had the full 3 courses... can barely move now! My trousers were quite comfy! There is a small part of me that is REALLY dreading being backed up with this lot by the morning!
Im still not feeling overly nauseous, it comes in occasional little bouts, but I have the sorest breasts! It has been getting worse day by day! Im not sorry not to feel sick overly, but it would be quite comforting...

Haha thornintherose I'm 7 wks and have already put on about 2/3lb due to that bastarding myth

Morning all, I seem to be suffering with quiet the opposite to most of you I'm thinking it must be due to all the OJ I'm drinking in place of wine. On that note...what do you drink? Before I was pg I drank lots of tea in the day, fruit juices, water and a glass of wine most nights. I don't like fizzy pop or squash so I'm now drinking decaf tea water and fruit juice and fancy trying something different, I just don't know what.

I'm off for my 2nd early scan today, I'm so nervous. They could see only a sac last week - keeping my fingers crossed for a HB.

Fingers crossed Craving, and sending you my best wishes. Xxxxx

Fx craving! Try elderflower cordial, ginger beer or a glass of milk! Even if you haven't got ms they taste darn good! Off for a private early scan this morning, no symptoms at all so fx all is well! Have a great day all x

Saw a heartbeat! Yippeee feels proper now!

On the downside, my stomach is a mess! Diarrhoea, pain, burping, retching - I am sooooo attractive right now

Good luck craving hope all goes well!

And good luck Carrie too!

I thought people at work might get suss if I started ordering de-caff on the tea run so I'm going for ginger tea all the way. At home it's bottlegreen ginger & lemon grass.

I'm 7+1 today I think and my ms has eased up a touch... last week was pretty awful tbh so I'm quite glad.
Gut is not great with sore trapped wind and burps but happy to say i'm not bunged up (think running really helps with that even though i'm run/walking very slowly right now).

I don't know if anybody else has a morbid fear of mmc like I do but I found a reassuring paper online that gave only a 1.3% rate of mmc at the scan if done at 13wks (as mine will be), no bleeding and between 35 and 39yrs old. For some reason I am terrified of mmc discovered at the scan, while I think I would be sad but could bear an mc with bleeding before then.

My boobs are sore and HUGE though - does anybody know if the growing slows down at all? I have gained about 1.5cup sizes already and if it keeps up at this rate they'll be bigger than my bump!!!!

My work paid a GP to come and give us all flu jabs in November last year so I've already had mine.

Also feeling sick 24 7, can't eat anything bigger than a packet of crisps without being sick.

Don't think I can wait till 15th for appointment with midwife, seems so far away. I feel like I'm going to explode if I don't tell everyone soon, it's so hard to not let things slip. Like for example, DPs friend came round last night, and myself and MiL were both sitting there quite happily talking about the little squid and my midwife appointment and how amazing the first scan is etc, until DP walked into living room and reminded us that we had company
