January 2014 - Thread 4 - Heading towards our Second Glowing Trimester...... Roll on 12 week scans, gorgeous bumps and baby buys...

[LittlePeaPod]

My god ladies we can talk! Thread 4 of 6000 at this rate.

It could be either farmers, or food poisoning? Do you have a temp, or diarrhoea (you don't need to answer that haha)? I'd call NHS direct. 7 times in half an hour is a lot.
Today my app very helpfully told me "be prepared for week 10, it will probably be your worst week for morning sickness". Thanks app, much appreciated .

DH is working from home today. He's taken my temp, it's fine.j

Apart from feeling sick and a dizzy, I don't have any other bug like symptoms. DH remaindered me I had this with DD, and said not to worry too much 'as it will pass in a few weeks' that's for that darling!!!

Can't cancel our weekend guest but might cancel lunch. The smell of food even onions makes me want to throw up. Hopefully a shower will make me feel better.

Thank you everyone xxx

farmers that sounds horrible.

I am just waiting at the day care centre for my booking app at 9am. Had some more cramps and more brown discharge last night and have had some sharp pains this morning along one side so have been rather worried. Be glad to mention it to the midwife so she can give her expert opinion instead of my speculating etc.

Hoping it all goes ok and the cramping and spotting stops and doesn't turn red. Am feeling stupidly nervous!

Mrs, Food poisoning highly unlikely. No Diarrhoea.

Lots of hand washing today. Will also change all the towels / hand towels too.

The dizziness and sweating sounds more like a bug or food poisoning.

Good luck, Frizz.

Oh Frizz, Hopefully the MW will put you at rest about it. Try not to worry, if you can do this! Tell me how....

Before you know it, it will be scan time

Very hot here, think I got too hot last night. I'm a bit of a duvet hog and like to wrap myself up.

Take your point through. We see how I go.

If I were your weekend guest, I'd appreciate a heads-up, just in case.

Farmers take care of yourself.

I'm glad you lot are as bemused by the list of things we 'can't' eat as I am. Needless to say I had sausage, egg and chips last night and dipped my chips in the runny yolks. Yum. I think the chances of getting listeria from most foods is horrendously played up by the medical proffesion. Told my French Mother-in-Law the list of things we are told not to eat and she was horrified.

MrsAVB week 10 is the worst for morning sickness?! good to know I have that to look forward to next week!

Oh dear farmers that sounds awful. I have thought I had started with nausea last week but that was nothing compared to what I experienced at 5am...it felt like sea sicknesses. I wasn't actually sick and eventually managed to get to sleep but I feel rough, just managed some dry toast. I'm 6+6 today, when did everyone else ms start. Did someone say dry biscuits and sour sweets are good for ms?

Frizz hopefully the mW will be able to put your mind at ease.

Also has anyone experienced pain in their pubic bone area...I think it is muscles or ligaments stretching but would be nice to know if this is normal.

Sorry for the long post, feeling very anxious today for some reason. got another mW app today (at home). I'm worried about this because I live in a small village and someone is bound to see her car and tell everyone...wondering if we should tell our parents just in case.

bikey - the stretching/pains are very normal, it's the ligaments around your uterus stretching as it grows I think.

So sorry farmers - that sounds really rough! Hope its not a bug....

bikey my nausea properly kicked in around 6 weeks.....for me it depends on the day as to what works - recently it has been mini cheddars and ice lollies....haribo helped me last time but cant touch them this time..... I had stabbing pains behind my pubic bone for two days around 8 weeks....

Loving the youtube vids - thanks pod & enormouse!

frizz so great u have your midwife appointment. Let us know what they say....

Mw app went well. She confirmed that I should just monitor the discharge and cramping and if it continues book to see my gp to get a scan (didn't say I had booked a private one for Sunday as I am a crazy worried loon)
She said it can be totally normal but if it goes bright red then get seen ASAP.
She reminded me that they can never be sure all is ok until the 12 week scan (which I was allowed to book and is 1st july)
You can have problems galore and then at the scan all can be ok so u just have to fx and remember that the majority of people are ok.
Thankfully dh is v positive about the whole thing!
Oh and mw was really lovely too!
Thanks for everyone's kind words of support. It's really helpful as it's not like we have many people to talk to in these early stages!

Thats great frizz and as u say u have a reassurance scan on Sunday so only a couple of days to wait..... So pleased you have a lovely midwife - makes all the difference!

Hi

I've been lurking since getting my bfp a few weeks ago and thought it was finally time to introduce myself. According to lmp dates I am 10+3 with a due date of 31st December but I could be anywhere from 8 weeks+ (due to PCOS and stupidly irregular cycles and my thermometer broke so I wasn't charting after the first two weeks of that cycle!). Timing couldn't have been better as DH and I just moved into our new house.

I've been lucky so far, no ms just a bit of nausea, tiredness and a constant hunger for a few weeks (and chest expansion- and they weren't small before!). Booking in appointment and scan booked for the 17th so not long to wait now.

Anyway just thought I would say hi.

Not got any symptoms today so text my dh saying I was worried I got a text back saying its because I've eaten unhealthily and I need to 'pull my finger out'. I text back saying he should try having a constant hangover and I've eaten the same as him. I got this back "I'm not pregnant you dick! I'm only harming myself. If you can honestly say that you have done everything possible to give the baby it's best chance then I will apologise but I think you could have done more! I don't force you to eat crap! So fuck you"

Hi Nature, and welcome :)

MrsV. I actually wouldn't put up with that. That goes way beyond any kind of normal conversation. How fucking DARE he?! Are you ok? What are you going to do?

toby I'm fuming and sad. We had a mc last year and it feels like he thinks it was my fault when he says things like that. Yes I've not eaten very well but that message is out of order!

I think that at the very least you need to tell him that it is entirely unacceptable to talk to you like that, EVER. You're not a child, and you don't need him to tell you what to do.
You do know, don't you, that the baby will take what it needs regardless of what you eat? Many women (especially those with HG) survive on crisps and Coke for months, and their babies are perfectly healthy. Your miscarriage will have had absolutely NOTHING to do with what you ate or did not eat. And whatever happens this time, what you eat will have no bearing on the outcome.

How DARE he? I am furious on your behalf. What an absolute wanker. He's either woefully stupid or very misinformed. At least you might be able to do something about the second thing.

I'm sorry :( What a douchelord.

Thanks toby. I told him all that and he has apologised and just said he's sad and wants me to be healthy. I bought him a book to explain pregnancy to men so hopefully that will help. What a cuntpuffin

An apology wouldn't be enough for me if my DH spoke to me like that.

How about he cooks all the meals? Wanker

Yes I'm still not happy and ignoring him. I'm away this weekend so will let him stew (and clean the house!)

MrsV that is so awful. I cannot believe he has said that to you, especially at a time when we feel so vulnerable. Who does he think he is? A bit of support would be nice. Sending you a virtual hug...you do not deserve to be spoken to like that x

MrsV that's terrible. I honestly think if my DH spoke to mr that way I'd leave ( I would probably then reconcile if he was apologetic enough, and it never happened again), but he wouldn't even go an hour thinking he can be that disrespectful and still keep me in his life. Hopefully once he's done some reading he'll realise what a cockwomble he's been.

Bottom line, we're busy growing whole new humans - the men should be supporting us whatever we need!
