Settle down for cake, sympathy and lots of laughs! xxx

This time last year OH and I were in Birmingham about to do the half marathon for the children's hospital. Little bit different this year

squiffie I found the response to MS very poor from midwives unless you are clearly becoming dehydrated. My hypermisser was ignored even thought I was genuinely vomitting 24/7 for months and lost 2 stone by 15 weeks and every female member of my maternal family has had hypermisser during their first pregancy. It sadly just isn't taken seriously.

I would try your GP instead of midwives they sometimes take it more seriously. They aren't so much concerned by lack of food more a concern about lack of keeping fluid down.

That was terrible what happened to you thePFJ take all the time you need to recover and don't worry about the housework (it always waits!).

I told my PIL this weekend. They were staying with us and although I haven't had a scan yet I wanted to tell them in person. MIL said she had guessed already when she saw me 3 weeks ago but didn't want to ask. I thought I had them all fooled! They were delighted for us which was nice.

Scan this Tuesday as well as the booking in. I've had the same midwife for the last two pregnancies and she's lovely and thorough.

So sorry PFJ how horrible for you to have to go through xxx

Booking in Tues - can't wait! I told my best friend today and she was thrilled for us, which is great! She can't wait to be an honorary auntie! Still not told parents either side... nerve wracking keeping a secret but exciting! I think my mum must have guessed as I am normally a huge wine fan and haven't touched a drop... even been designated driver on a lot of trips out which is very generous of me...

9 weeks today

Today has been horrible. I have been struggling a lot with sickness but thought I had managed to manage it with a combination of snacks and tablets. Was good the last few days. Today it is back with avengence and I can really move from the sofa :( feeling very sorry for myself :(

I'm feeling a bit stressed every so often I feel like I'm ummm dribbling. but I also think I might just be paranoid its amonitc fluid and could be another proms. Even thought the chances of it happening again is slim.

I've totally emptied my bladder but maybe its just a weak drippy pelvic floor.

randomm rest up and take it easy, hope you feel better soon. It's the pits but hopefully not for much longer....

littlebairn Sorry you're feeling stressed, not got any advice but hopefully one of the other girls can help.

Here's flowers for you both

Sorry you're feeling so ill guys. I have no advice, still puking and feeling crappy myself. Also feeling very guilty. Dh is doing everything, cooking, cleaning and all I do is lie on the sofa drinking water and being sick or if I'm not doing that, I'm concentrating hard trying not to be sick. Not much fun for him! Wish I was past this sick stage already.
Hope everyone else is having a good weekend! X

Erghhh... that Robin Thicke is such a misogynistic ass. I can't bear him.

I can only keep my MS at bay if I'm eating. So, bascially, I'm constantly eating. I'm going to be bumper sized. :-)

Hey all well, everyone knows now - it's officially official and slightly scary

Felt marginally better today, going to see how things go. Sorry to hear lots of people feeling unwell, worried etc. I want to mention everyone by name but my brain is fried!

On the not drinking aspect there's the whole sober for October running alongside stoptober so maybe a good excuse for some?!

and all round! X x

Hi ladies. Sorry some of you are feeling so bad. I have constant nausea but haven't been sick in a few days which is an improvement.

squiffie I've been telling everyone I'm doing stoptober to quit smoking and using that as an excuse not to drink! I just say if I drink I'll be tempted to smoke. So far people seem to be falling for it

Just catching up after a busy weekend

for thepfj sorry to hear you're still going through such a tough time

moomin it must be so exciting to have told everyone

And everyone who is suffering with MS I hope it gets better for you all soon

In 20 mins will be 9 weeks and an olive, exciting stuff!

Sorry to hear how traumatic its been PFJ x

squiffie if you feel you can't cope go to your gp for medication. I have had debilitating all day nausea but no vomiting and eating and drinking well. For me its more about your ability to function on a day to day basis and if the ms is stopping that then medication should be offered. My gp was much happier to than the midwife. I'm on stemetil and it has taken the edge off and got me doing more which is great. Hope you feel better soon whatever you decide.

DS just slept in til 7.10 after a 4am night feed whoop whoop, might have to start getting DH to slip him some milk when the new baby is here so he lets us get a lie in anyone else with another DC kinda thinking how the hell am I going to manage with two?

Good luck to the many scans today everyone!

I'm 12 weeks yesterday so one more week and I'm into the second trimester and I want this sickness GONE!

Also littlebairn could it just be discharge? Hormonal changes altering consistency and all that tmi stuff...?

Keep missing people...

randomm how far are you? I read something along the lines of the peaks for ms getting worse being 8, 10 and 12 weeks. I felt worse then and after week 10 I felt ok then felt bad again in the lead to 12 weeks... Had three days where I was despairing it being as bad as it had been despite the progress I thought I'd made, now two days of feeling really a lot better. :(

Is anyone else feeling like they are breathing weird? It started during the night it's like deep breathing I'm really aware of. Still like it this morning it feels like my lungs have to completely empty then it's deep breaths in. Just at a normal pace but really annoying. If I try to breath lighter I feel like its not enough and end up doing a big gulp in. Not sure if its pregnancy or just my own weird thing that will go away.

Also the bit of skin you get at the front of your mouth that connects your lip and gum inside, is sore and that bit behind my teeth its swollen so I can feel it on my younger all the time like a small blister.

Maybe I'm just weird!

Lots of Scans today! How exciting.
Who is up and what time? I'l be thinking of you all. xx

Hey Cupcake - do you find you struggle to get that big deep satisfying breath?

Because I do and it just means I have elevated anxiety. Might not be the case for you, but it is for me. I find that yoga or a walk helps ease it.

x

Morning all, I remember feeling like that with dd2. Now I'm wondering how I'll cope with 3!

Good luck with scans today

I struggle to get deep breaths a lot... Maybe just your body trying to oxygenate all the extra blood you've got now? I feel more out of breath generally too but that's probably from two months of hardly moving

cbeebies all will be fine. Im on dc3 now too but we're mothers, we learn how to cope! Im a childminder and ive committed myself to carry on working when baby comes becuase I booked a holiday for July/August yesterday. 4 hour flight with a 2 month old

I not I gonna manage with dc1

Good luck to everyone with scans today! According to TheBump, Mini Moomin becomes a peach today - 13 weeks!

Lovely that it's today too because it would've been his/her uncle's 16th birthday. My first little brother died a couple of weeks after being born, so today's one of those strange happy/sad days, but I think it's happier than usual today because of this news :)

Hope everyone's wrapped up warm and doing well on this horrible Monday morning

Cupcake this might be worth looking at www.babycenter.com/0_shortness-of-breath-during-pregnancy_219.bc

Hamncheese I'm currently 8 and a half weeks. Have been having quite severe sickness since 6ish :( I hope it gets better soon.

Today is a hard day for me as it is 5 years today since my mum died. I think that the pregnancy is making it harder this time because I keep thinking that she must have gone through this.
