Pram I'm going against the grain here, but personally I think I'd tell him what he needs to do to fix this (if its possible to fix it). 5 years down the line if things worked out you wouldn't remember the fact that you had to say "make the effort with me, and go for counselling" you would just be glad he got the help he needed. However if you're only feeling like you are because he's moving out and it feels final and scary, not because you actually want to work things out, then ignore my suggestion!! I left a very unhappy relationship a few years ago, best thing I ever did, but as I moved my stuff back to my parent's house, I would happily have taken him back just so things stayed 'normal' despite normal being shit!

Well, pregnancy announced on Facebook, have now gained a grand total of 1lb and am showing properly! All plodding along as it should be. Counting down the days til my gender scan!!!

Rockchick, beautifully put, as usual. I'm struggling to know a) what I want, b) what are true feelings and what are just sadness and c) whether I can be arsed with the work involved. Thank you for your honesty.

I can't believe you've only gained a pound you, you rotter!

Coolhand, I'm sorry you're so pukey; get thee to the quacks and get some drugs (and get thee to the shop for some Pop-tarts!)

One of you suggested I go and stay at a friend's (you, *Lyra?) to beat my loneliness, but I just can't face it after my stay at Biba's. I really missed my own bed (I don't mind sleeping under an eight year-old's Transformer duvet but I draw the line at a slobbering Staffie taking up all the bed).

Oh no pirate I was about to say lucky you for being able to eat a more sugary cereal with milk, but ive just read further down the post :0 ( sorry to hear its made another appearance in a bad way. I currently am struggling most mornings with anything dairy or sugary so this morning im testing out wheatabix that ive soaked down with hot water and no sugar, its horrid, wheatabix I normally at least have with sugar but I think it will come back up again. The pills they prescribed are called 'buccastem 3mg' I got them because my ds starts primary in just over a week and I was worried about him not getting there ok if I had been being sick or feeling sick, im kinda fed up of sitting round trying not to hurl!! I just wanna be able to get on with some stuff! Im wondering if I should just take them and stop feeling guilty about these meds whilst pg? Ohhh I dont know?!

Mummy24 and edamame, im 'showing abit' here too! Only 9+1 and maternity trousers are far more comfortable for me, that or no trousers at all whilst in comfort of own home I get more nausea when waitbands dig in!!

Hoping everyone is having a good weekend/has a nice rest of the weekend :0)

abi have you looked on the hyperemesis support thread on the Pregnancy board, I bet you'll find some people on there taking that drug. I am with you on the school run worry - my DS starts reception in a couple of weeks too We're going to look like hungover mums!!!

Ahhhh thanks for that, shall have a peek! You're not wrong there on hungover mums, if only it was actually alcohol lol! ! I hope that you manage to reduce how horrid you're feeling! Big hugz.

Abi are they the ones you pop on the inside of your mouth to dissolve? They're really good. The docs wouldn't prescribe them if they were dangerous x

I'm also showing. 10 weeks today. I think I just look fat, but DH says its definitely a bump. I. Ant stand anything ought on my tummy either. Have found my skin has got really sensitive too

Anyone else having to force the milk down? I keep trying to take at least one glass a day, not least because of all the iodine deficiency stuff that was in the news this year but it only seems to aggravate the nausea.

Abi, I had buccastem. I thought they were working for a couple of days but after that they didn't do anything. They've prescribed me cyclizine now but the taste is unbelievably strong - as soon as I put it in my mouth I spat it out again!

I'm actually really enjoying warm milk. It's very soothing in the tum. Never used to drink milk.

I've really gone off milk at the moment. But I can manage it in a hot chocolate when I'm not feeling as nauseous. Can't get enough of smoothies though, so going for dairy that way

I'm fostering a serious Nesquik addiction Haven't had Nesquik since I was about nine. The calcium has got to be good though, right?

I have to ask, what is it with pregnant ladies and pop tarts? Just gone on a pop tart run

RockChick - 1lb!?!? You're kidding me?? I put on 1lb while sticking strictly to a vigorous gym and weight watchers routine before realising I was pregnant...that's what made me decide to do a test! God knows how much I've put on now

rosyryan - as far as cravings go, nesquik has got to be better than most. It has added vitamins and stuff...I'd just look up which vitamins we shouldn't be having too much of (I'm sure there's 1?) and check if nesquik has loads of it. If not...nesquik away!

Now I want Nesquik!

I can't stand pop tarts. Bleurgh!

Lyra - neither can I. But apparently my developing little alien loves them

Jol DH thinks it means we are having a girl as I'd put on over a stone at this point with DS... I think it means I've not used pregnancy as an excuse to eat EVERYTHING like I did last time, also don't seem to be able to eat a full meal at the moment, whereas with DS I was constantly hungry.

We have no toaster, so can't have pop tarts

I think pop tarts are horrible, the dh loves them n I can't be down stairs when he has them as the smell makes me feel sick. Iv noticed that the main thing that I can keep down now is cup a soup. Leases it's some form of food lol.

As for weight gain iv acctually lost 1 stone since gettin bfp. Think it might have somethin to do with the awful ms couple weeks ago

I get ravenous, but can't eat much at all before I feel full and sick. This happens to me in pregnancy usually so I expect I will have lost a few pounds. My clothes still fit so I can't have put on much.

I love a frijj chocolate fudge brownie milkshake. Yummy!

Some things I will never be able to stand again due to this nausea. My washing up liquid is one of them.

Well I am constantly hungry (which I was last time as well) but haven't been able to shake the feeling that I am having a girl for some reason.

I'm not sure I've ever had a pop tart but they aren't appealing right now. I could quite happily eat chips though but going to have some bread while I wait for my roast, yum.

I'm dreading seeing how much I put on. I'm already quite a chunkster...was in the process of losing the chunk when we found out I'd fallen pregnant so quickly. Really hadn't expected it after 6 years of the implant. Thought we'd be waiting a good 6 months and I could have shifted a couple of stone in anticipation. As it turned out, I'd managed about half a stone before the scales started to creep the other way!

Silver lining...the more tired I am, the less hungry I am. Bring on the sleepless nights!

Golly, i'm bored.

Sorry, Coolhand, it was Pirates who had run out of Pop Tarts and whom I was urging to get to the shops.
