Hamandcheese I'm so jealous of your extra scan. How lovely to get to peek in their a second time. I'm another one on the app so can't see the pic yet, but will log on on my laptop later to see it.

Dobe, poor you, it sounds awful. Try and get as much sugary/calorific drinks down you that you can manage so at least you will be getting some energy from somewhere.

mumof2aimingfor4 · 12/10/2013 09:56

moomin everything your going through is natural. Like I said before I was your age when I fell pregnant with dd1, your still dealing with hormonal emotions from your teenage years as us ladies dont finish growing/maturing and what not till we're 21, add to that the wonderful hormones of pregnancy and your going to feel the way you do.
Your friends invited you because they are your friends becuase none of them have probably had to deal with pregnancy they dont know the do's and don'ts. My firends couldn't see why I was too shattered to go out with them to the pub, I was too tired and I couldn't feckin drink!
Dont ever doubt whether you can do this though. You have all of us on here to support you, and trust me because of your age you will go that bit further to prove to others what a fab mum you are.

My hubby said i look dead today :-(

mumof2aimingfor4 · 12/10/2013 10:03

thistle isnt it wonderful when we get to that point of our relationship where they dont feel the need to flatter us anymore! ;)

thistlelicker · 12/10/2013 10:09

It was our wedding anniversary this week! No cards or anything GrinGrin. Bless he's brought me got water bottle, fresh jarmies, and a bottle of fanta as mouth is claggy :-( can't have cold/flu so just have to have paracetamol !!! How boring when u poorly!! On another note my belly is fluttering away and I feel sick too!!! Woohooooo great way to spend weekend

rebeccax2 · 12/10/2013 10:26

OH told his best friend last night and now they are both passed out drunk in the bedrooms. :-)

I'm struggling with MS and exhaustion and wanting to buy some new sponges for the kitchen and maybe got to Westfield and buy a dress for my brothers wedding.

It's in 2 weeks and I feel disgusting! I've not been throwing up but eating a lot so I have gained a little weight. I don't fit my favourite dresses :-(

Here is my 'Feel good at our brothers wedding even though you feel revolting Plan'

  1. Fake Tan
  2. Silk lash extensions
  3. Manicure
  4. Pedicure
  5. Amazing accessories

Off to Westfield. Wish me luck! xxx

bluestone85 · 12/10/2013 10:28

Thanks snoozy and Bush. No bleeding today touch wood. In a way I'm tempted to go to epau anyway and see if they will scan me but another part is telling me to wait until Wednesday and see what mw thinks....

Moomin if you don't want to go just tell them that you're not up to it. My friends wanted to go on a 12 mile walk when I was away a couple of weeks ago, and I was like, have fun but I'll stay at the house! Too tired for that. They understood :-) the hormones going around your body are making you feel that way. It's normal! I'm 27 and I sit here going 'what if I make a horrible mum' so don't worry we're all in the same boat and we're already here if you need us :-) xx

dobedobedo · 12/10/2013 10:31

Impatiently, dh went out to get some hot chocolate. I think I could drink some of that. Maybe I'll get him to bring me home some orange lucozade - mum used to feed me that when I was sick as a kid!

I've just weighed myself and I've lost a stone in this pregnancy so far. Silver linings eh? Smile it's okay, I still have another 4 stone to go to be at my goal weight haha! I don't know where I've lost it from cos I'm bloated and my boobs are mahoosive!
I'm 10 weeks tomorrow, which is peak for ms, hopefully after that it will ease off. I need a bloody good meal inside me!

I don't want to be whinging all the time but not many people know I'm pregnant so I have no one else to whinge to. You're a lucky bunch! Grin

bluestone85 · 12/10/2013 10:33

That should read *always here - not already, even though we are. Haha. Should proof read before sending. Especially when on my phone! x

thistlelicker · 12/10/2013 12:39

My hubby's gone out and left me in bed with a plate of crackers

mumof2aimingfor4 · 12/10/2013 12:52

Looks like its just me and you on here at the mo thistle im feeling awful too.

thistlelicker · 12/10/2013 12:59

I don't know if i beginning to feel crab thru pregnancy or I have acold coming!! What's up mum?

bluestone85 · 12/10/2013 13:02

I'm here too! hehe. sorry to hear you are all feeling pants. least its a good sign. I haven't really had many symptoms so that's worrying. Though starting to feel a bit sick at the moment, which is actually good haha xx

mumof2aimingfor4 · 12/10/2013 13:08

Constant nausea. Im ok'ish when sitting/laying down but as soon as I get up i feel dizzy and sick. Blood pressure fine as only had it done yesterday. I desperately need to pee but dont want to get up! 8+2 today and wishing the time away to get over this bit.
Thistle not sure which is worse feeling sick or feeling like your getting ill as we cant really take much meds.
So unbelievably jealous of you blue!

hobbjobb · 12/10/2013 13:20

Afternoon ladies. Just checking in to say hi, I often lurk but rarely get the chance to post. I'm really enjoying everyone's updates though.

Quick question as I am confused about something.
If I date my pregnancy from my last period, I am 8+6 but I had a scan the other day which makes me actually 7+2. Which one do I go with? I know it's because the first cola weeks after ovulation there isn't actually a baby but I'm not sure if I'm using the right dates, what is everyone else doing?

Have a great weekend everyone!

moominleigh94 · 12/10/2013 13:25

Thanks for the support and not calling me a whiny bitch :) I know I was being one, but it's nice not to be told it sometimes Grin

I ended up going swimming and had a really nice time. Went around the rapids once before getting back in the pool. Swimming was great, now I'm all signed up to the gym and pool and get all classes free - including aquanatal! Grin

thistlelicker · 12/10/2013 13:27

I haven't had a period since 30th June but I'm ten plus 3 so I'll go with dating scan myself

bluestone85 · 12/10/2013 13:33

hobb i would go with dating scan unless you are 100% sure of date of conception. From my LMP I'm 9 + 2 today but my periods were never the same. Last one before I got pregnant was 40 days from last one. So I think I'm only actually 7 weeks. Can't wait for dating scan xx

bluestone85 · 12/10/2013 13:55

I'm sorry mumof2! But I do kind of wish that I had more symptoms! x

NannyPlumForPM · 12/10/2013 14:00

Bluestone I can assure you it's a double edged sword! (know what you mean though!!)

bluestone85 · 12/10/2013 14:12

Yeah I know nanny I would probably be moaning if I got morning sickness and wishing I didn't have it! Haha x

loopylou52 · 12/10/2013 14:12

Hi all,

Sorry to thistle and mumof2 and anyone else feeling rubbish today. I do feel my nausea is improving as long as I don't get too tired or hungry so I'm trying to make myself appreciate that even though I still don't feel great.

moomin - glad you managed to enjoy the swim in the end. I'm sure we all feel a bit moany at the moment - I keep thinking my poor dh is going to get so fed up with me - but this is definitely the right place to come for a whinge as we're all in the same boat.

bluestone - glad the bleeding is improving. Hope you're doing ok.

rebecca - hope you have a successful shopping trip!

Waves to everyone else - sorry to anyone I've missed.

moobaloo · 12/10/2013 15:38

Lovely to hear others are a miserable as me!!!!! I mean that in a loving way Smile

Have eaten half a packet of crackers today. DP got me a plate so I didn't get crumbs in his computer. He is so kind and thoughtful. Before I gave up trying to be interested in doing anything today I was sorting laundry and my wardrobe and every time he came in I was sitting amongst a pile of clothes reading a book! It's taking a very long time to sort and now it's raining... so there's no point... Grin

I'm a bit more energetic when I have work as I have to be... but today I'm just zonked and have no energy and feel sick. bleugh.

But I have been treating myself to online retail therapy buying christmas presents online Grin will I be allowed to go hovercraft racing with DP when I am 5 months PG? If not, and one of his friends gets to go with him instead, I will be VERY CROSS! Grin

Love to all xxx

impatientlywaiting · 12/10/2013 16:02

Hi all, hope everyone is well.

Hobbjobb I think I'd go with dating scan too as they are generally pretty accurate.

I think I've discovered a new symptom - hurrah (I'm one of the few symptom people)

Just been for an 8 mile walk and my back is really hurting. Must be a pregnancy thing as my back has never really hurt before.

dobedobedo · 12/10/2013 16:38

I have to go out to an Indian restaurant in two hours. I feel ridiculously sick. It's for MILs birthday. Go or stay at home?? Argh.
