Stats thread here Here

Gawj I'm the same. There are only certain things I can't ear, everything else is a no go. I'm also quite fond of crumpets with lime marmalade of them. And peas and sweet corn. And fresh fruit juice. I have never been a fussy eater till now

Hi everyone! Congratulations on all the scans! I'm gonna go over to see the pics in a min, so exiting! I have stupidly lost my scan letter, my 2 older kids read everything now and my dd was being nosey when I was holding the letter and on the phone to change the app, so i quickly hid It! But have no clue where!! I always do silly things like this then spend days trying to figure out what the hell I've done.

Back to the car thing, we have a Honda frv which has 3 seats in the front and 3 in the back and a normal boot which is great, but gonna have to change for a 7 seater unless dh is happy to hold on the back on a skate board. Anyone have a 7 seater with an actual boot?

I'm off most sweet things, tea and coffee. Haven't weighed myself since I was 4 weeks pregnant and wouldn't be surprised if I've lost weight as I seem to have no appetite most of the time.

I've also got a strange sensation in my mouth - like my rate buds are all dead and everything tastes bland.

Allegedly craving salty foods means "boy" and sweet things "girl". I'm not sure what an a erosion to those foods mean though!

Haha maybe I even turned down an indian yesterday (fave food ever) thought of it made me gag... My cheese on toast was lovely, altho today that makes me feel sick too.. Wondering whether to walk 15 mins in rain to get some tuna

lol frank im craving both depending on the day of the week :(

I say brave the rain Gawj! It will only bug you if you don't

I'm definitely more salty Frankel nbut then I always am!

all done gawjus! i also reckon you should brave the rain!

last night i did fancy mcdonalds chips in one of their toffee sundaes, the one near us had no ice-cream (typical) so we drove to the one over the other side of the city, ah pregnancy.

Er, "erosion" means aversion obviously

I've finally ordered myself some maternity bras - they arrive tomorrow - it'll be so nice to have comfy boobs again

As an aside is anyone else slowly packing away all the clothes they don't fit into only to find you have about 3 items you can wear?

MTB I need to do that. It's also the clothes that don't show my tummy yet, as only 2 people at work know. What maternity bras did you go for?

Cant stop crying at one born ahhhhhh i want a baby now!!!

good luck to samsmother for her scan today, do we have anyone else on scanning duty today?

Good luck Samsmother!

Gawj I always cry at OBEM!

Good luck to everyone with scans today.
Re goin off tea, I'm the opposite it's the only thing that settles my stomach. That's how I'm gettin my sugar intake atm as I can't keep any food down again :-(

Still so hungry. Ate a hobnob at my grandmas and then retched all the way to the co op, got some of those go ahead crispy slice things and had 2 of them. Just eaten a bowl of capaletti. Still starving and feeling sick.

On the plus side I put on a pair of jeans today I was sure wouldn't fit. And they did so I can't have piled on many pounds.

Rang my midwife just now to ask her to bring my dating scan forward from 13+2 and she said 'you've no chance'. I'm royally fucked-off. On the plus side I reckon the picture will be pretty amazing at 13+2.

Could gleefully rip some fucker's head off today.

Maybe I went for these www.asos.com/Emma-Jane/Emma-Jane-Smooth-Maternity-Bra/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=477085&cid=5813&Rf900=4036&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Black someone recommended them on here if I recall correctly, and tbh my M&S ones last time were hideous

They look like they would give you pointy tits. I love these and they have tons of colours.

...also ASOS is shit. I've had to send all maternity stuff back as the quality is appalling.

I've had bad nausea every day for 4.5wks and thrown up at least once every day too. Woke up this morning feeling ok and rather than enjoy not feeling sick, spend the whole morning worrying!! Who knew pregnancy was this stressful!!!

Got my booking in at 1.30 I'm going to see if I can get a sneaky listen to the heartbeat.

Now I'll catch up on what I've missed today...

In hell here. This week has been the worst so far. Feel so ill and short tempered. I'm bored, kids bored. I wish I had people I could call on to come and help or take the kids for an hour. It's hard right now and these moments make me doubt whether we are doing the right thing having another child. Feeling emotional today!

MummyPig, I'm sorry you'e so emotional and full of doubt. I'm going through a rather insufferable trauma on the home front and am just in devastated floods of tears. Can't/won't talk about it here but I'll be thinking of you today xx
