thread 2

I need Starbars, white Magnums, Topics and Tunnocks teacakes but can't be arsed getting off the sofa to go to the shop

Welcome, Tertle!

If I eat I feel sick, if I don't eat I feel sick, if I think about eating I feel sick.

Pasta bake sounds good though.

Welcome Tertle

I've very at those of you eating chocolate - I'm not allowed any chocolate for my entire pregnancy due to the tiny amount of caffeine in it - on the plus side I have discovered salted caramel ice cream

MTB check with your dr but this says you would be ok with white chocolate - better than no chocolate?

Just had a bag of frazzles and they tasted amazing, first food I've actually enjoyed in ages!!

Thanks!

MTB - the chocolate was indeed very good, how rubbish that you can't eat it. Salted caramel ice cream is delicious though - pleased to hear that not ALL treats are ruled out!

Commsgirl - I have been the same for the past four weeks, have been sick quite often and eating anything has generally been very tiresome.
Hopefully you'll feel better soon (and I have a feeling I am just having a lucky day!).

Salted caramel ice cream?! Yummy!

Pasta bake was good, I'm still hungry.

The kids are being totally feral in the garden and I'm pretending its not happening!

If I eat I feel sick, if I don't eat I feel sick, if I think about eating I feel sick.

Have you tried eating your sick?

MTB have you tried Carob its the caffeine free equivalent of Chocolate? Its not the same but the closest you're likely to get, I'd try baking a cake with some or a hot chocolate with some cinnamon or vanilla.

I have gone off chocolate completely in fact anything sweet, unless it is fruit is rather yucky to me currently, it was the 1st thing I went off of at 7weeks.

F&T

pram excellent idea. Will report back.

I will be having macaroni cheese as soon as I get home. I've just been out to buy the ingredients

I rather foolishly tried to hear my bean's heartbeat with a Doppler app this morning. I know it's way too early but my uterus is no longer buried behind my pubic bone so I thought it was worth a try.

Hi, hopefully I've found the right place for people due in March?

I'm nearly 10 weeks now, first pregnancy, which was a bit of a surprise, though not unwelcome, and apparently due early March. I've been feeling very nauseous and tired, though only actually vomited a few times. The nausea definitely gets worse if I'm tired, and going on a pre-planned holiday to San Francisco at 8 weeks possibly wasn't the best idea but we still had a good time! I may be a candidate for the first '12 week' scan as there was discrepancy between the dates calculated from my cycle and the dates from the early dating scan so I'm having it on the 19th of August when I won't be 12 weeks yet (I postponed it from the 14th of August as it said I had to be at least 11 weeks).
So thought I'd say hello :)

You're right it looks like white chocolate is back on the menu - yay!!!

I haven't had carob since I was a kid, I used to love carob and nut bars - hmmm may need to do some baking this weekend to experiment

Just had cold roast chicken and potatoe salad for tea - could quite happily eat myself sick on potatoe salad - yum

Welcome imeg

Hope you had a wonderful holiday and weren't too sick on it

Hi ladies, can I join? I'm 6+5 and due 28 March. It's our first baby and we're both very excited :-) I got my 12 week scan date through yesterday - Friday 13th September.... good job I'm not superstitious! I'm not going to be seen by a midwife until my 12 week scan which I'm pretty angry about, so we've decided to book a private early scan. I'm feeling bloody awful and have been for about a week now. Just feel sick all the time and never know what to eat as I don't fancy anything, but an empty stomach makes the sickness worse. Not enjoying being pregnant one bit!

Tired, tired, tired today! Could sleep all day long!

Is anyone able to put the link on here for our locations? I think it was on thread 2 but unless I went through silly amount of pages I have no idea where Abouts!! Thanks!

So this Facebook thing, can u view the group from your phone? Not sure where to look for it! I usually do all Internet stuff on my phone instead of computer!

Welcome to new guys, congrats on scan results and pram it defo looks like a little baby bump there on your picture!

Hi Imeg and all other new joiners.

I'm 10 weeks too so we'll be due around the same time. My scan is on the 21st.

mtb, that website is fab!

We haven't started telling people yet; I'm only a little over 7 weeks so it feels too early , and 'the peanut' just seems too tiny and delicate for us to risk telling people about. DESPERATE to though, so I've been satisfying my urges to tell by informing random people who I'll probably never see again or who won't remember, such as the lady in the local craft shop and a lovely old lady I got chatting to in a cafe the other day!

Well, up till today I was feeling blessedly free of most annoying pregnancy symptoms; barely any nausea or dizziness, although I have been feeling tired. Woke up today feeling a bit poo, went to work where I graduated into full-blown sickness and dizziness. I work in a clothes boutique where there's almost always only one person in at a time, so dealing with urges to run to the loo, worrying I might faint etc, while being nice and helpful to customers, was quite a challenge! My boss is on holiday, and my colleague had plans for the day, so I struggled on till 3 then closed the shop. I've been feeling guilty about lost sales, but I was past the point of functioning! Really hope this is not how I will be feeling over the next 6 weeks or so...

Nausea eased today.....10 weeks tomorrow.....and ive stopped the ciggies...whoop whoop :) x

I'm finding working the biggest chore too. Have already had a first scan and my second is on Friday (I don't live in the UK and private health care is mandatory so it's scans a plenty!), but I still don't feel like telling my boss. Roll on 12 weeks when we can all shout it from the rooftops and people will stop thinking we're being 'weird'!

Good luck to everyone with the sickness and eating.

Xx

Hi mrsCummins welcome aboard.

I'm due the 23rd so we're not far apart. I'm also suffering with awful sickness, I think a few of us on here are really struggling with it

mrscummins and tertle - welcome!

RE: sickness - just in case anyone doesn't know, you can get some anti-nausea pills from the doc if it gets really bad. I couldn't keep anything down in my last pregnancy and the meds really helped. Didn't stop feeling sick but stopped me puking which was a relief as I worried I was puking all my folic acid up.

stephie WELL DONE on ditching the smokes!!!!

I think sickness is the most common symptom of early pregnancy. Mine is sickness and tiredness, plus extreme hunger when I'm not feeling sick!

I bought some chocolate in tesco so that's my dinner tonight!

Wait a second.

We aren't allowed CHOCOLATE??!

Stephie that's so great about the cigs! Well done.
I feel so exhausted and work is really dragging.the nausea isn't getting much better either. I also feel like crying a lot. It's really annoying
