January 2014 - knicker checking, cramps, sore boobs, sickness, hungry, sleepy neurotic mums to be.... Roll on 12 week scan!!

[LittlePeaPod]

And off we go again.......

MrsGSR thinking of you, hope you don't have to wait too long. Keeping fx for well behaved hormones x

My problem is trivial in comparison to others. My nausea is unrelenting. I can't concentrate artwork and finding it difficult to smile, chat ad get on with it. I'm turning into a right misery guts at work!

Fx MrsGSR - keep us posted. The waiting is awful, isn't it? X

Penny constant nausea sounds pretty grim to me x

Still waiting, thanks for all the messages :)
Penny do you like Bananas? I read that they can help morning sickness as they have vitamin B-something.

to everyone who is having any bleeding or spotting.
I hope everything turns out well.

I have been getting occasional cramps today that are stronger than normal. Not sure if it is a bad sign or not but I guess time will tell.

We are telling dh parents tonight and will be telling my boss tomorrow in case things happen and i need to rush off. Am very fortunate that i get on well with my boss so know I would have support and time if i needed it.

Penny While my nausea had yet to begin I can totally relate. I am so tired at the moment I'm finding it difficult to string conversations together, such a misery guts! Fortunately I have an office of my own so I can hide away most of the day :)

Frizz I had horrible cramps earlier this morning but they seem to have eased now, growing pains? Good luck telling the boss...I keep wondering if I should as I think she'd be understanding, think I might wait a little longer still...

carrot it's nice to know other people are getting the same feelings. Really not sure what i am supposed to feel.
Am only telling the boss as i have been training to cover her work for the past 2 years so it's going to take time to train someone else. I am also involved in charging all our customers and my mind is already wandering so best to have someone to check I have done it right!

This thread is scaring me :( why must something so important be so difficult. I have my fingers crossed for all of you.
I'm feeling off too, symptoms seem to have waned. No spotting here but I don't expect any, didn't have any spotting at all and that one was doomed from the start. If I hadn't had an early scan it would likely have been weeks before my body recognized that anything was wrong.
Big hugs all around.

MissMedusa sorry you're feeling scared, I don't think I realised how worrying the first trimester is. I've been so focused on getting pregnant, all this new worry, has come as a shock.

I agree. I thought, once I conceived (and it wasn't easy) the worrying about whether I would ever have a child could stop. Nope, that's when it really begins.

Hi ladies just checking how everyone is doing. mummy & sultanajo I hope you got to EPU ok. Sending my thoughts to all spotting and cramping. [Flowers]

MissMedusa it is really scarey. I was like you. No spotting and bag mc out of the blue. I did have cramps but they had disappeared but no spotting. Tomorrow would have been the start of mc so really nervous about scan on Saturday.

Penny I feel bad moanimg to about exhaustion and emtional outbreaks when others have so much more to worry about.

MTB and sultana and choco keeping everything crossed for you. I do hope everything works out for you both. cosmic sounds hopeful, I'm so glad, and hope that cheers up the other ladies with spotting/bleeding.

penny I am just starting to be nauseous in the mornings. It's grim, your problem is not trivial, it's all too real! Hope you are okay.

Agree on the scariness of first trimester - I guess this is the bit you don't see, because people don't announce until the end of it... It's awful to think that you try this hard to get upduffed, and it could still all be for nothing. Still, looking on the bright side (and I don't mean this to upset anyone who's spotting/bleeding/afraid) - we have all got pregnant at least. One worry to check off the endless list...

Thank you to the lady (god I cannot remember ANYTHING, sorry!) who recommended NHS emails, I shall sign us both up pronto.

You're welcome, Humpty!

I am less worried now, to be honest, than I was while ttc - I always had that worry in the back of my mind that it would turn out I was infertile and it would never happen for me. I expect that seven months isn't so long to try, really, but it felt like forever.

Now I have worries, yes, but also amazing glee that I am capable of growing a baby - and I am growing one even as I type this message! I think we need to try and remember what an amazing, magical thing is happening within us, despite the stress of it.

I hope that doesn't come across as insensitive in any way. to you all!

just decided to poas again today to see a digital result and It came up with error....damn! got another one in the cupboard but still annoyed one is wasted.dont even know y im doing another one,paranoia or what :/

sorry to all those who are spotting,its very common so I have my fingers crossed for u all!!

I definitely found the first trimester the hardest blanks last month from mind
It was the time I was so tired I needed a seat during my commute and felt sick so needed a bit of understanding at work. I felt great by the time we told anyone.

I am absolutely knackered and can't even raise a smile at the moment. I'm trying not to think about it all really until I get to 12 weeks.

Hi

Just checking in to see how everyone is?

MrsG, I hope you had good news from your blood test results.

I've been surprisingly productive at work today which has helped take my mind off things. Blooming exhausted now though. Looking forward to chilling out in front of the TV tonight. Hope you all have lovely evenings

I still haven't heard anything! I might ring them in the morning, but I'm worried about being a pain, DH has just bought me some chocolate to make me feel better.

I agree I never realised how hard the first few months would be! We'd been trying for a while and I honestly thought all the worrying would be over after we got the second blue line!

Hi all. I'm 7+4 and seeing my gp tomorrow (had to wait a fortnight for the appointment!). I did do a self referral to the hospital online but haven't heard anything. Big hug to anyone struggling with symptoms. I'm just tired and constantly hungry (not much change from normal then! ).

Evening all!
MTB, sultana, choco, sunny, cosmic and foody... Thinking of you all and wishing I was an octopus so I had enough hands to hold! cosmic hope resting up is properly restful and you aren't too stressed. mrsg FX for blood tests. medusa this is def a scary time and its hard to stay positive. Today (6+3) is the day my last pregnancy ended in miscarriage so I will be glad when it's over... Not that it means that I'm any less likely to on any other day . blue excellent trickery with the bathroom cleaning! I need to think of some similar reasoning around other chores. penny my sickness and nausea is really getting to me too. Apart from constantly feeling shocking its the time vomming and recovering takes up that's annoying. I was late for a meeting this morning because I had to stop and vom in the shopping centre. Ho hum...
Hope everyone is doing ok... Xxx

Ps yoni hope you're coping ok with work stress. Xxx

Just had a call from the doctors who said my hormone levels dropped, so it's very likely I'll miscarry :(
