April 2014... Thread 1

[BoobsTooBig]

Hi girls thought as that thread it quite full we could start a new one here.
Hope you don't mind pink.
How you girls all feeling today? I swear I keep forgetting I'm pregnant when symptoms disappear randomly. But I'm at such early stages, one of the babies of the bunch at just 5+2

Thanks Bunny appreciate it x

Hope you're ok boobs.

Yay my parents are home tonight after a month away. Have done a food shop for them and am waiting at their house, pizza hut delivery booked and going to tell them even though I am only 5+1!

Yey tea hope its a great night.
I have cooked and eaten tea and haven't been sick today!
I didn't think the pills were working as I still felt really sicky but I feel slightly more human

I'm at 6 times a week. And slightly impressed! I could probably cope with a quickie but Dh always seems to want these marathon sessions, feel exhausted just thinking about it tbh!

hello everyone,mind if I join?
I'm 8+0 today and feeling utterly horrendous. I've been feeling sick for the last 4weeks with increasing intensity. Have gotten meds from the docs which help at least stop the vomiting for about a week but seems to have gotten worse still because now it's not even helping against that anymore. Had it with ds too but started a bit later (but lasted for horrific 18weeks).
And to top it all off,my blood tests from my last appointment have come back with measles indicators so have no idea what that might mean for me and the baby. Have no measles symptoms and have been vaccinated as a child. All very confusing.
I really hope the sickness will pass quicker this time as am totally be bound and have to rely on my parents to look after ds during the week while dh at work.
Sorry for the moan. But hopefully joining in discussions here might take my mind off things.

Evening everyone, welcome to new people. Sorry to hear that boobs hope the pain stops and I am hoping all is well.

So sorry to hear your news wicked I hope you are taking care of your self x o

Glad you got your letter cookie it is frustrating waiting to know when you will be seen
7 + 3

Welcome wasps :) I'm currently 6+1 and completely reliant on my tablets for morning sickness... I've not heard of 'measles indicators' in blood. Do they mean German measles? Have they talked you through the implications? It might be wise to book an appt with your gp to discuss?

Evening all
Welcome wasps and I feel your pain as I also have horrendous sickness. On the meds now and just need to find best time to take them to manage things. Took one this afternoon and had to snooze in my office for half an hour! Luckily I can get away with it.

Sleep is the only respite at the moment and I'm terrified of getting up in the morning as that's when it hits :( I have been getting really down about it, but not much choice so I need to suck it up and get on with things.

I'm in shock at six times a week ! We're lucky if it's 6 times a year...

Urgh, I'm off to brush my teeth to try and get rid of the metallic taste. Anyone else permanently got this?

Sorry, forgot again - 6+6

Hi - just checking in as i haven't been on for a while. Really sorry to hear about Wicked (hope you are on the road to recovery). The thread has really picked up in the last week or so - hello to the new BFPs. I'll be booking in next week around the 9wk mark then probably a scan mid Sept. Still feeling extremely fatigued so I'm convinced I'm carrying twins (or more!). Was so shattered this week I ended up telling my boss (who was lovely about it - phew!). What's everyone up to for the long weekend?? (I'll mainly be begging my 2 other kids to let me rest on the sofa...oh and definitely not dtd - can barely keep my eyes open most evenings....how are you others managing it!??)
8+1

Welcome wasps! And hello to the people I haven't "met" yet!

Don't forget we have the Facebook group now if anyone wants to join then add me on there and I will add you to the group (Trisha Jukes)

Took DS to baby massage again today so that was another 3.4 miles walked (I've clocked up 22 miles since Monday) so I'm über tired now!

Heading out to buy a few bits for holiday with DH and DS tomorrow x and might have a sneaky look at tandem pushchairs

Oops 4+6

Sorry I didn't check names but I assume the person who used to DTD 6 times a week now down to 4 is this your first pregnancy.

During my first we DTD the same as before I got pregnant. So most nights or if not in the morning.

However, since ds we have never got fully back into it as we both are exhausted. Plus I usually go to bed earlier now as completely shattered so mostly asleep now. Although sometimes you just gotta make the effort.

Misty, I feel the exact same. Dread to move when I wake up as that spoils the nice sleep numbness. Don't know how you manage to get to work (and stay there) as I can hardly seem to get out of bed. Seems to be getting so much worse when I sit or actually move that I try to avoid it as much as poss.
And I second the metallic taste though for me that usually comes with another spout of sickness.

Sorry to read about so many sad news on here. Hope the lovely ladies are doing ok and are looking after themselves.

6 times a week???? don't tell my dh that! What with ds insisting on falling asleep with mummy at the moment (who's to blame him,seeing he doesn't see me most of the day) the heightened sense of smell,the nausea and the fatigue we've gone t total here. Man,pregnancy is glam not.

From what I can gather so far the measles would put me at risk of miscarriage or premature birth and my midwife has mentioned something about infertility in boys but I can't seem to find anything on that online. Unfortunately nobody can really tell me yet until I have the second set of results so am in limbo a bit over the weekend. Apparently there are two sets of results they can test your blood on both measureyour measles antibody levels. One level is supposed to show wether you're immune (which I had a high rating at showing that I should be ok) and the other shows a new infection increase which was also higher and the thing they worry about.

Think I'll go be sick and try to get back to sleep. Sorry tmi.

Hi ladies,

Well I just found out I'm pregnant again, due April...ish! Already have a 10 month old so will have my hands full! Exciting!

Does anyone else have a similar age gap going on?

X

Hi otherone, I have a nearly 5 month old and am due 26th April, I'm 5 weeks pregnant today, so my DS will be 12 months when DC2 is born!

I don't have a clue how far on I am! I only did a pregnancy test because we were meant to have a heavy weekend of weddings, birthdays and bbqs and I've felt so tired and emotional lately. Just wanted to confirm I wasn't but... I am! Had terrible morning sickness with ds but so far no symptoms other than being tired... Although now I know I'm pregnant I suddenly feel ok. X
Only found out yesterday and I'm dying to look at double prams and start redecorating! Need to give hubby some time first I think!

Congrats everyone

X

Morning all.

So tired yet i am awake. Plus dh's breathing was really annoying me

thedementedpenguin 6 times a week was me. This is my second pregnancy, to be honest i think its
More that we have a bit of a routine of dtd so when we domt it feels 'off pattern' if that makes sense?

It used to actually help me sleep, id zonk out afterwards, although am happier to pass out naturally now im so tired!

I'll have a much larger age gap, my DD will be 2y4m in April, but I have a lot of friends who have a similar age gap to otherone and they seem to be doing amazingly well. The second seems to just slot in.
DD still really ill today. Went to the doctor and they've prescribed antibiotics for an ear, throat and eye infection. Poor baby looks terrible this morning since she can barely open her eyes. It's the first time that I've had to give her antibiotics

Golden I really hope my husband never reads that you dtd 6 times a week. He could easily go every day but I won't be in the mood so often. Before dd was born it used to be a weekend thing, but now it happens less frequently. Maybe I should make more of an effort.

6 times a week, daily note here dtd that often. We avergae every 3 or 4 days but then will suddenly go twice a day. It all depends if Im next to dp when he wakes up in the morning as hes always keen then

not here I meant. silly typo

welcome natanotherone there is an 18month age gap between my DD and DS, it is busy. My DD never really coped with the introduction of DS but I don't think it would have mattered what age she was.
6 times a week, my husband and I are more birthday's and Christmas! only messing. I should make more of an effort in this regard but I would be nervous about DTD before I get past 12 weeks. I also am so tired and feeling so rough that it is the last thing on my mind!

Golden I know exactly what you mean. I would DTD more often but Dp doesn't seem as interested. Then to be honest I just cba to put the effort in so sometimes I just don't bother lol

My ds will be one in 3 weeks. So by the time baby comes he will be 19 months.
