January 2014 - Thread 3 (Danger: Due to the influence of pregnancy hormones I could either burst into tears or kill you in the next 5 minutes.... You have been warned!

Thread three... Rock and Roll......

yoni my hair is falling out too... It's crap..

I have also developed spots on my forehead. At least when I was a teenager I had a fringe and lots of thick cheap make-up as I didn't know any better to hide them under. I'm also hideously emotional & unable to concentrate at work at all which is a bad combo as we are currently doing end of year appraisals.

On the plus side I'm 6+3 & the only time I've felt nauseous is when I'm a bit late eating breakfast. An egg & mushroom muffin sorted that out though .

Pod if I wasn't allergic to clementines I would sooo have that, although apple would work too I am sure. Hmmmm I totally get your need to see the HB, that's why I booked another for 10 weeks. I am becoming a HB junkie!!! Glad we are all as crazy as each other!

Frizz get food down you while you can. If I fancy something I make sure I then have it because it is happening so infrequently at the moment and am struggling like Pod with food. Touch wood the cheese and ham toasties with BBQ sauce are still going down, but am sure they will be a thing of the past in a few days and I will be back to square one!!!

Re: Dopplers. I got the Angel one last time recommended by a friend. However, I was happily listening to what I thought was the bubba and instead it was my own pulse! Seriously! I made DH listen to it also! What a twat! So just be careful!!!

Carrot and MRS AVB OMG the dreams! Soooo vivid! I have had some really great raunchy ones, but last night I dreamt I was smoking (haven't smoked for YEARS) and when a friend saw me I tried to justify it by saying I wasn't having more than 10 a day so it was OK. Random! Wonder what that was all about!!!

Mythree I am still in my normal clothes at 8+1, BUT everything is stretchy. Although I CAN fit into my jeans, they are soooo uncomfortable, particularly when sitting down that they aren't being worn....

pod if I wasnt allergic to clementines I would go for it, although I reckon apple would also work! . I totally get what u mean about the heartbeat! I am becoming a heartbeat junkie! Glad we are all as obsessed as each other!

Re dopplers just be careful you dont do what I did and mistake my own pulse for the babies heartbeat! What a twat!

Frizz get food down u while u can! I am struggling like pod to find anything I want, so if I crave something I go for it. Am sure in a few days I wont want the cheese and ham toasties with bbq sauce that have been my staple this week!

carrot and mrsavb my god the dreams! Sooo vivid! Had some great raunchy ones but last night I dreamt I was smoking (not smoked in years) and when a friend questionned me I said it was fine because I was under the ten a day limit! Lol!

mythree at 8+1 I am still on my clothes but they have to be stretchy. I can fit in my jeans but they are just too uncomfortable!!!

Welcome to everyone who has recently had a bfp!!!

Sorry people are feeling rough. Feeling sorry for myself this end too, although all the McDs talk has given me a craving for nuggets, fries and coleslaw (a la pod)

I am becoming a spotty teenager too - all round my mouth which makes me look like a clown and my scalp has become dry but my hair is greasy!!! Wtf! How is that possible! Gonna have to start washing it more often but I dont have the energy!!!

Anyone ridiculously short of breath? Just walked briskly to catch train & sound like I've run a marathon. Also got a tickly cough & can't take anything for it according to pharmacist apart from the honey & lemon stuff that does nothing just soothes. Moan moan moan I know!

Yes Frog! Someone at work thought I had run for the phone the other day. All I had done was walk upstairs! Was so embarrased I said I had indeed run for the phone! I must have sounded like a heavy breather!!!

Hello, have just discovered I am pg with dc3! We are over the moon - although a little shell shocked. We have had long discussions about baby number 3, finally decided this month to try so stopped all protection and here I am pg!

Welcome newbies and congrats!

I didn't get morning sickness last time and haven't so far this time. I do however sometimes get a bit of a weird grim feeling and the only thing that cures it is a maccy d's cheeseburger....

Someone at work announced today they are pg...I soooo wanted to shout "Me too!"

Hey coco! Huge congratulations on number 3! How exciting!!! X

Dawn its so hard isnt it when other people announce! Cant wait to finally be able to be in a position to tell people!,

Thanks Sultanajo. This is my last baby so I hope to cherish every moment of this pregnancy and not let The Fear take over.

I am already thinking baby names - which I never dared let myself do this early with my other two dc

It's hard not telling people full stop. I'm seeing my mum next Friday and I want to tell her so badly (although how she will react is a bit of an unknown).

I've been really spotty since coming off the pill. I was hoping being pg might clear my skin up but sadly not!

I'm feeling a bit bloated but a long way off needing maternity clothes.

And so hungry! I suppose I should make the most of it in case I get sickness in a week or so!

coco thats great! Dont let the fear take over! Have fallen into that trap unfortunately....

I had to tell my mum madrat. She know what happened last time and although I didnt want to worry her this time, she would have known because I quite often visit her and havent been able to due to the nausea. She was pleased I had told her, so am glad I did! X

fryingpan in an earlier message you have that you are 5+5 and on the stats thread your dd is same as mine (25th). I thought I was only 4+5. Please tell me I've worked it out wrong? I'd love to be getting closer! :)

Hi MrsVDB My dates were wrong, lmp was 13th not the 20th like I thought. Sorry to get your hopes up.

Today I spent a grand total of 6 hours in the hospital. I've been badly cramping for two days now, but today there was also blood when I went to the toilet.

In hospital I was triaged, then told to put on the gown and they took loads of blood etc. After a while I was scanned where it was discovered that the baby is fine, very small! About 2 mm apparently (all the same, there's a picture on my profile) and the sack is there and is 2cm, but there is also a sizeable cyst in my uterus with it. The cyst measured about 7x7cm and is taking over the uterus. I have to go back in 2 weeks for scanning and to see if it has shrunk before they decide what to do about it. It's all a little concerning.

Good news is, though, that we are going to get regular scans and they are going to look after me :-)

fryingpan never mind, I'll get there!

So to hear about your cramps. I hear cysts are quite common in pregnancy so try not to worry too much, it sounds like you're getting we'll looked after

Thanks!

I wasn't that worried until she said "You know how you can get cysts with hair/teeth in? well, the scan is picking up something which could mean it has bone in it"

Not so fun then! ha ha

Hi all

I posted once on the last thread. I am 7+3 and am feeling pretty rough - headachy and sick (but having TTC for 2 years, I am trying hard not to complain!).

Reading the food posts above has made me really want a cheese toastie! I had forgotten that when i was pregnant with DD1 I consumed my body weight in white sliced bread.

Oh blimey frying! So pleased they are looking after you. Didnt realise cysts could come with hair and teeth! So pleased your little bean is doing ok in there. What a day u must have had!!!

fidget only white bread will do at the moment, which I havent had for years, apart from baguettes! Its very odd how finicky I have become.

Wow, fryingpan (every time I see your name it says Frying Panto Face to me :o ). That's a bit weird. I'm glad they're going to look after you.

Well following talks of McDs etc. my DF has just been out and got me a KFC (3 drumsticks, chips, gravy)...... Mmmmmm ate the lots.. That's the most I have eaten all week... Off to bed sleep... Good night ladies...

Frying great to hear you got and are getting good care...

Well done, pod!
