thread 2

Morning all, and welcome newbies!
MTB same here - home early yesterday and feeling dizzy and light headed this morning. Wondered if I could be anaemic, but is it too early in pregnancy for the baby to be nicking all my iron? Be interested to here what the doctor says (too knackered to make my own appointment and have to drag DS there with me!)
Got my scan this afternoon, feeling a bit anxious as had some cramping yesterday, but maybe that was just because it was so hot and I was rushing about at work? Anyway, nothing to do now but wait and see!

Thanks samsmother!

Gutted. The bleeding looked like it had stopped yesterday but has come back with vengeance today with cramps again.

Don't want to bother the EPU again they'll just tell me to stop worrying easier said than done!!

Not loving this pregnancy

Welcome kakey and owl! Congrats to you both.

samsmother I'm glad you're coming closer to acceptance of your situation. Feel free to vent on here. We've all got here in different ways- accidents, just shaggers, surprise babies as well as long term TTC and IVFers. So we understand not everyone has the same emotions. It is a lot to get your head round however you got here. We won't judge.

Rock thanks, hopefully Monday will go well. I'll miss DS though! I don't think I fancy being a SAHM TBH. Nothing against it, I just don't think it's for me. Besides, we have expensive hobbies (on hold for now - hurtling down hills on bikes and boards doesn't mix well with PG) and we'd like to introduce DCs to them one day, for which money is rather essential!

Welcome owl

Well I'm back from the GP and I'm sent for an early scan today rather than next week. I'm also having iron, another hormone and an ECG tests done.

I love that my GP is not taking any chances with this pregnancy.

She says she's fairly confident all is ok, but she just wants to be certain

thanks everyone this will be my second baby my other is 2 years old I also have 2 step kids who live here all the time so this overall will be number 4!!

Soured our EPU is lovely. They will put your mind at rest.
I'm quite glad to be early pg right now. If I hadn't MC in February, I would have been nearly 8 months now. That would have been HELL!

Found you! Hi everyone and welcome newbies.

I've been rushing round all morning looking after my nan, trying to get organised for a wedding tomorrow and trying to pack for our holiday on Monday. I'm shattered now and DS is napping so I think I will too!

DS had his first major shop tantrum today. I was practically dragging him on the floor on his reins while he screamed.
Everyone let me go to the front of the queue.

JK your MIL sounds mad as a hatter. She needs a hobby.

Can I just say I hate anyone who is losing weight? Thanks.

welcome back, Samsmother.

JK10, here's an idea: why not sneak round to your PIL's house in the dead of night, crawl into their bed, and give her husband a sneaky handjob? See how she likes being usurped!

I've gained 7lbs in a months, pram - discovered at my booking in appt yesterday. Not pleased. I weigh more than DP. Tut.

saggy I know, I feel like I'm wasting their time though, I've been twice already!!

Marking my spot in the new thread.

I'm still feeling queasy a lot of the time, but it seems to be at its worst when I have an empty stomach, so I'm trying to graze a bit more.

Had to go back to the GP this morning to redo my urine sample from my Booking In appt as apparently the midwife didn't label the bottle correctly

*Soured, that's what they are there for. I was there every week the last time.

Hi lumpy thank you. I'm going on holiday at 13 weeks and having my first scan 4 days before so hopefully all is well. We were debating when the 2nd trimester starts. My book says 14 weeks but someone else was saying 13.

Pram your not alone! I have put on weight and feel fat! Clothes are too tight now and I was attending WW before I found out I was pregnant do as you can imagine the last thing I want is to get fat again :( if I could tell people why I was fat it would help but got another 4 weeks till my scan.

True. I think part of it is not wanting another internal scan lol

I am officially a whale.

I've had this weird feeling where I don't know what I fancy to eat - so I'm just eating everything

Last night I had a revelation though. I had a salad with my dinner and the tomatoes were the most delicious thing I've ever tasted.

Any cravings for anybody else yet?

Hey everyone and welcome newbies.

Today has been much better than yesterday! We went to see my grandma, baked cakes and went to a friends for lunch. Just come home and the kids are settled in front of nanny McPhee so I can have a rest. Majorly sleepy and feeling sick. Dh finishes early today so he is going to take the children to the park when he gets home.

Yeah, Pun, I'm craving Jazz apples and crusty bread and butter. I've gone off most chocolate, sprouts and cups of tea. Which is a shame. I love

I've just been sat at the village bowling green watching the crumblies playing bowls and I thought, bloody hell! I'll be their age when my child is only eighteen

I haven't got any cravings yet. I'm devastated by my tea aversion.

In my last pregnancy most of my cravings were for inappropriate things like zoflora disinfectant and Christmas trees. I also had a major aversion to my cat and if I saw monkeys on tv - both would make me vomit instantly. The joys of hyperemesis.

Little, I am laughing my head off at your post. I have visions of you sneaking downstairs on Christmas Eve and hugging and sniffing your tree for hours. That, and licking the floors in public toilets

Can someone please remind me why I am starting voluntary work in a charity shop next Wednesday? Fanks.

Oh no not tea - I've switched to decaff but luckily not gone off it I love a good cuppa! Coffee is a different story though, I really enjoy the odd cup of coffee but not at the moment! Wish I'd go off chocolate too!

I get the opposite reaction Pram I had my 1st when I was 21. I'm now 25 (26 on friday) and having my 3rd. People think I'm weird for having a family young and can't resist telling me so!

I've gone off chicken!! And I feel really sick today :( its just nausea but I'd rather I was actually sick (in the hope the feeling will go away! )

Hi all, is it too late to join you? I'm about 5 weeks with my 2nd (1stDD is 12 months and a toddling terror!), and I estimate due on 31st march (though will prob have c section before that).
I've briefly skimmed this thread and saw that some of you have scan already...exciting!
The cake, I also read that there is a test you can pay for privately called the Harmony Test which can detect downs, Edwards and Patau syndromes from 10weeks (but it is blooming expensive). We are considering it as we had 1 in 13 odds for Downs with DD, and ended up having an amino.
Needless to say, I'm hoping this pregnancy is less fraught than the last, at times! Anyway, hullo all, and sorry for waffling on. (It does seem to be my style, as you poor folk may discover in time!)
