Thinking of you bunny Flowers hope everything works out ok for you!

Supercalafraga · 19/08/2013 10:56

So rough bunny poor you. Also sending some thoughts to those who are struggling big time. Flowers

Only 4+1 today Grin time has started to stand still!
Starting to feel tired - but that is probably due to the fact that my body seems to have forgotten how to sleep normally! Weird dreams and awake and random hours. Other than that my boobs have taken a life of their own and I have taken being bloated to a new level.
Called the Dr's this am and the soonest they can see me is next Friday - maybe better as I will be 5+5 then Smile.

Super I know what you mean about time standing still, this feels like the longest day ever. Im doing nothing at work apart from wishing the days away and trying not to fall asleep at my desk!

bunnygoesbang · 19/08/2013 13:17

Well I am staying positive as I am still sick lol. I have the midwife on Wednesday and anymore bleeding I am to put a test in at the gp.

I feel you all with the exhaustion and wishing time away. How can I now wait from 7 weeks until 12 to see if its all ok

greentshirt · 19/08/2013 14:26

Few stomach pains this afternoon :( am hoping it's just because I have had white bread for lunch with tuna (which often disagrees with me tbh) and that my trousers are too tight!

Goldenhandshake · 19/08/2013 14:55

Fingers crossed for you Bunny

This thread is very fast moving I am not doing well at keeping up!

I will be 8 weeks tomorrow, have my booking in appointment 2nd Sept.

I literally slept the weekend away Blush DD stayed at Gran's on Saturday, so as soon as she left DH sent me off to bed for a nap, I slept for 4 hours! woke up, had a shower, DH ordered us chinese then watched some TV and went back to bed and slept another 9 hours, interrupted by some heartburn. What is ludicrous is I still feel exhausted, it just seems like no amount of sleep is enough at the moment.

Good news is the constipation has eased off, but I am getting pretty regular bouts of diarrhea (sorry for tmi)

I still have almost constant nausea though, even when it eases a bit it never just goes completely. The sickness I seem to have figured out, I have to hold off brushing my teeth in the morning until after I have eaten something, just before I leave the house, otherwise it sets off vomiting, bizarre.

Have had no more bleeding which is a relief, I just want a scan date now so I can actually see bean and make sure all is well.

How much do boobs grow in pregnancy..??

I'm normally pretty small ..32B but am already bursting out of my bras ..I think I'm about 6 weeks ish , but should I buy more bras now or will that be pointless ?

I said to my OH , my boobs have grown a bit and he said 'I'd noticed!!' Blush im not very good at all this.

Goldenhandshake · 19/08/2013 15:10

runninggirl I think it varies, mine did not grow at all with DD, I stayed an F cup, although this time I think they are starting to swell slightly. I am not relishing the thought.

runninggirl85 · 19/08/2013 15:34

Thanks Golden.

I don't really want mine to grow..although I'm sure noone would notice really

Cannotbelieveit · 19/08/2013 16:21

Last time my boobs went from 32G to 34GG during the pregnancy and then 34HH when my milk was all in. Settled to 34H a few week in but they are already swelling again! And definitely feel you all on the time standing still! I've only known since Friday as well!

greentshirt · 19/08/2013 16:29

Mine are looking massive today and they are rock hard. They look good actually!! Hahaha but I think they will give me away before any bump does!

Goldenhandshake · 19/08/2013 16:34

Mine are killing me, bras are feeling a little bit tighter but can still get away with them, the outer sides really hurt Sad

bunnygoesbang · 19/08/2013 16:44

I've gone from 36f to 36g and they are straining in my new bras lol I just got cheap ones from asda but I slept in a crop top last night and it really helped the pain.

I've slept the afternoon away and toll feel tired. Thankfully my dd is having way too much fun playing with friends to care about missing out on days out

coffeewineandchocolate · 19/08/2013 16:54

Mine have also grown this pregnancy which they didn't do first pregnancy. Gone up at least one size to 32gg so really don't want to grow anymore...

Ninunina · 19/08/2013 17:33

I'm certainly looking a bit like Pamela Anderson these days in my swimsuit (minus the skinny legs and rock hard abs), but I think I had already switched to maternity bras at this stage last time. I felt my ribs widened straight away, but I'm still comfortable in my bras til now.

bunnygoesbang · 19/08/2013 17:39

I tried a 38 but it was still too big so looks like its just the boobs.they may hurt but they look like rocks lol

cookielove · 19/08/2013 17:52

I really hope mine grow if only a teeny bit! :)

Hello all.

dirtyface · 19/08/2013 18:05

my boobs haven't grown at all

they are just hurting

is anyone else permanently STARVING ?? i just can't stop eating, not good as don't want to start gaining weight this bloody early

greentshirt · 19/08/2013 18:30

I go through waves of being totally starving. I actually wonder whether sometime I have been mistaking sickness for hunger lol

Misty9 · 19/08/2013 18:40

How far along are you dirty? I felt absolutely ravenous for most of last week at 5wks - but now the nausea has hit and the thought of food makes me heave, so eat while you can is my advice!

Starting to feel a bit of a wimp as this constant nausea is really getting to me. I can't focus on anything luckily have bugger all to do at work currently can't bear thinking about food - but being hungry makes it ten times worse - and I have a horrid taste in my mouth all the time, making me salivate, making me nauseous :(

Am I just a wimp? I mean, at least I'm not chucking my guts up multiple times? though my body seems to prefer the other end for an exit

bunny hope you're ok and it's a sticky one. I had v similar with ds at 6/7wks and it was so stressful. Also due to cervical erosion in the end, as pp said.

Cannotbelieveit · 19/08/2013 18:40

Yep permanently starving here too! Just did a test with DH, he says its all good we just need to find out if i will get the same maternity pay/SMP as I'm currently on maternity leave Wink

bunnygoesbang · 19/08/2013 18:46

Hello it's not cervical erosion I know that for sure.

Doctor says it could be he placenta sticking as its around this time that it starts to connect fully to take over from the yolk sack. He says sometimes it will set off little bleeds over several days/ a week until its in order. We all have deep endometrium for the baby and any knocks to this can set off a bleed.

It's all stopped thankfully just keep doing checks.

I think I need to eat more as when I do I'm not as sick. It's like I have a window where I start to feel hungry and if I don't eat straight away I'm as sick as dog. Didn't get lunch in quick enough and was ill at lunch time. I have a feelings I won't sleep tonight waiting for it to happen again.

My boobs are also itchy which is great fun lol

bunnygoesbang · 19/08/2013 18:47

Oh and cannotbelieveit yey to oh knowing and yes you get full entitlement for each child

middleclassdystopia · 19/08/2013 19:39

I just don't really believe i'm pregnant. The only symptoms I have are occassional full boobs and increased sex drive!

Don't feel tired or sick but then I am only 5+3.

When did your symptoms start?

Goldenhandshake · 19/08/2013 19:45

The tiredness is killing me, i feel permanently wiped out
