January 2014 - thread 5 - getting excited as we all start getting 12 week scans and move into our second trimester....

[LittlePeaPod]

Here we go again....

Guys... Go up a size whatever you do!! You're going to fill out in places you didn't know you had...

Discharge - last time I had so much I went to hospital and demanded to be on a monitor cos I was convinced it was amniotic fluid. Embarrassingly, they had to convince me actually I was just oozing normal pregnajuice.

PREGNAJUICE. Yep.

Pregnajuice extra! Brilliant!

The only thing I want to eat/drink right now is a kfc strawberry Krushem. Typical - would be something we shouldnt have. I was considering trying to replicate it but we dont have a blender.....why cant I want something we actually have in the house....?

Just had booking in apt and midwife just took my word for weight and height so I may have taken a couple of pounds off but still said bmi 34 and the midwife was shocked at how heavy I am as said I don't look it so that was nice! Even with my high bmi she said I can go for mlu and birthing pool woo hoo! I was dreading the appointment as thought I'd be 'high risk' but all is ok yeay

Yeay great stuff mrsv! My bmi was 32 at booking in and my mw said they would only consider high risk above 35. Phew!

Fantastic news for you MrsVDB
sultanajo I'm the same. I want kfc hot wings and gravy. I seem to ha e regressed to a 9 year old in terms of what I want. (Curly fries, potato waffles, fried chicken, kievs). Feel so sorry for my DP -
him - "I'll make you whatever you want but can it be something we have at home?"
Me - "NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" "I want a McDonald's Apple pie!!!"

Am currently eating chips with baked beans and cheese.
On a positive note, I feel less hit by a bus today and managed to do breakfast for toddlermouse for the first time on a week. I hope this is the end of the feeling crapness.

Hi everyone. What is it with us all freaking about discharge at exactly the same time? I had a freak out this morning about it too.

Last night was the fête de musique so random music all over town. We went for a wander and squeezed the buggy between loads of really happy drunk people. On the way I managed to not see a step and fall over. Now I have a sore swollen left knee, a sore right ankle and a sore left wrist. Oops. I woke up this morning with a runny nose and a sore throat too. Hmmmph.

Yesterday had another appt and all fine
Had lots of blood tests and results next week. A bit of a shocker though: I have managed to gain between 6 and 7 kilos and bmi has gone from 28 to 31. Argh! No more salt and vinegar crisps or pizza as morning sickness cure for me. Back to salads and lean meat!

DH also helped when he suggested I only hurt myself when I fell because my weight has increased so much...thanks!

I knew I'd put a bit on, but I still fit all my clothes so I am surprised the increase is as much as it is. Stretchy fabrics?

Lol enormouse! Bought some potato waffles the other day when I had them they were minging! Glad you are improving at the mo - hope it means you are on the road to recovery!

Altered omg - that must have really hurt! Poor you! What wonderful helpful comments about falling and weight gain! Bet that made it all better!

Very odd freaking out at the same time but also comforting!

sultanajo I've been craving just about everything other than whats in the cupboards! DH hadn't been impressed. I also made him by some potato waffles and then couldn't eat them.

altered ouch!

Lol mrsgsr I really wanted the waffles too, but as soon as I tried eating them I knew it was a mistake! I tried asking DH to go and get some hot dog sausages earlier (normally cant stand them). He said he would get some later, but now the thought of them fills me with horror! Glad he didnt get them now - he would have been super pissed off!,

I've wasted the whole day by sleeping! I got up at 10am had some toast, had a shower and got dressed. Nephews came round and then I went to bed and I've only just got up. I feel wrecked! I thought I was meant to be full of energy at 14 weeks??? Humph

PREGNAJUICE can I just say, that's GENIUS!

penny I am only just having a bath. Spent the day vegging on the sofa and I too feel wrecked! Ridiculous! Have booked a bra fitting for the morning so I have to go out!!!

Penny and sultanajo I've been the same today. Mega four hour nap today. What a waste. Just forced myself to have a walk down the beach to feel a bit better.

Yawn! Morning ladies! Right, am getting up, getting showered, getting dressed and going out this morning! No more sofa vegging for me until this afternoon! Have a fab Sunday y'all!

Hello all. Have a fab day whatever you get up too sultana
I'm 12 weeks 2day eeeeek. Can't believe its finally here. Just wish I didn't have another week & day to wait for my scan!!! X

Happy 12 weeks to us both, loulou! How are you feeling?

Have a good day, sultana (and everyone).

It's mine and DH's 3rd anniversary (of meeting) today, so we're going out to lunch.

OMG.

I have just had the most exciting news ever!

I just told my bestest set of buddies that I won't be going on a USA road trip with them in August and that I'm pg.

Turns out one of them in Oz is also pg AND has the same due date!!! I have my scan on Tuesday, she has hers Thursday.

Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Happy days!

choc and toby happy 12 weeks!

Today is already better than yesterday, I'm up, showered and dressed. Going for a walk along the beach and for some breakfast and intend on doing some housework when I get back.

Have a lovely day everyone!

Hi

Hope you don't mind me checking in from the land down under. I'm the friend from Oz that Toothfairy78 just mentioned. I can't believe that we are due on the same day!!

Aaaaaarrrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!! Hey Freddie!!!!!!

I'm too excited to do anything useful today!

Certainly beats fatigue though.

You'll be pleased to know I'm cooking pancakes.

Freddie and Toothfairy that is beyond exciting

It is the most exciting day I've had in a while!

I was totally thrilled when I got Tooths news this morning but because we're 9 hours ahead, I've had to wait the whole day to tell her that I was pregnant as well.

And pancakes are good - but even better with bacon and maple syrup!

Ah toothfairy & freddie that's soooo lovely! I'm good thanks toby I wasn't sick all day yesterday but not gonna jinx it thinking that's it as I said this a few days ago lol. Still feeling rough but seems to rly help reaching the 12 week point. I want my scan to confirm all is well. When is yours again? X
