New thread for our little junebugs!

ada I'm the same! Very bizarre! DH decided its my hormones going nuts.

For ladies with sickness, I feel your pain. Scared of week 8 when it's meant to peak.. Im constantly sucking on lemony sweets. Also eating fruit, such as clementines and sharon fruit seems to help a little.. Oh and crisps too but that's no good!! I have a dinner with girlfriends tonight which I've been looking forward to for ages but I don't think I can face a restaurant with foody smells :( Gutted!

Gilly, I have been signed off for 4 weeks as last tues I went to work and had thrown up 5 times in our disgusting work toilets by 11am and knew I couldn't go on like that. I had the same when p with ds and I had been in denial really hoping that this pregnancy wouldn't be the same. However with hg, constants snacking is not the remedy that is is for normal ms. With hg, they recommend anti sickness meds (which help a little on some days) and lots of rest, so I have given in to it. The only time I don't feel sick or am not being sick is when I am sleeping! It's horrid and incapacitating but jut take one day at a time. At its worse, I throw up 20 times a day, on good days its more like 4/5. Aa I said further up, water based foods like jelly and ice lollies are good as rehydrate you. Hope that helps.

Scan today at midday... I am sooo scared!

Thanks for all the tips and advice everyone
Just got out the shower and about to dry my hair... Feeling better than yesterday I think but still feel terrible!

Tiny good luck! How many weeks are you? Is this an early private scan?

7+5

it's NHS due to miscarriage history... I begged my GP and she referred me...

Embracing the nausea and hoping it's a good sign...

Oh yes I think I remember you saying. Good luck, I'm sure it will be fine!
What time is it?

Tiny good luck!! V exciting!

It is a good sign actually. I read yesterday that the risk of mc drops from 30% to 8% in women with ms. I thought I would embrace it but I'm a total sissy. Constantly moaning to DH about feeling sick. But I'll survive so long as the little seedling is fine!

Hello again. Sorry to hear of those feeling sick, I managed to avoid ms with my DS, but I felt sick for weeks. So far I'm feeling ok, but still very early days.
I seem to be due around 23rd June, though as I was only one my first cycle after DS I'm not really sure when I ovulated. I'll have to phone the dr or midwife at some point to register with them, I may need an early scan again, as I've only got one tube so more prone to ectopic pg :( Still, means I might get to see something around 6 weeks rather than waiting till 12.

Good luck Tiny.

Thanks, it's at midday and things get delayed but I shall update when I can

Oh good luck Tiny!

Bezza, that sounds awful. How are you getting through the day? How are you managing DS?

Marlena, I'd have sobbed over the mince too. My DH is lucky he's away this week so has been spared my many emotional outbursts, but he's back tomorrow. Bahahahaha! I already told him on the phone that he may be safer not to address me unless it's to say "Why don't you sit here while I do that" or versions thereof.

MTMD, I had similar cravings when I was pg with DS - lemony things, salty things. With DD, I craved much more carby things. This time round, so far, it's a bit more of the lemony/salty vibe but still early days.

ada, that's funny, I'm absolutely convinced we're destined to have boys. They don't make girls in DH family! :) His dad has 5 brothers, DH has two brothers who both have sons, of course. So yeah.. No way this seedling is a girl :)

Look forward to hearing news from Tiny! :)

Ada- am currently staying with my mum with ds so she can look after both of us as dh works long hours. It's rough as ds just wants nanny at the moment and seems a bit scared of me which is heartbreaking but think its prob because he has seen me chunder a lot!

Good luck tiny.

Good luck tiny hope everything goes well.

Good luck Tiny!

Ada (you have hep the BEST name - it was Ada Lovelace day this week too :) ) I am also a weepy mess. I keep choking up while reading Winnie the Pooh! What has become of me?!

Feeling pretty sick here too and though I know it's a good sign I've been dreading it. Last time I was unemployed, so it didn't matters that I barely got out of bed for a month but this time I have a nearly three year old, plus various projects and childminding - don't know how I'm going to function without letting people down! :(

I read that acupuncture can be amazing though, so I'm going for a first session today with a woman who helped me with SPD and a breech presentation with DD1. Fingers crossed it helps!

good luck tiny
sorry to hear about the sickness. I'm only 5+4 so still plenty of time for sickness to start.

I'm a bit gutted. We've told my father and granny aboutu pregnancy and they weren't particularly happy about it. Did even say congratulations

Oh liquid that's thoughtless of them. perhaps they were really shocked and didn't think. Have some and huge congrats from us

Liquid that's so disappointing! Maybe they're more excited than they're letting on?

Ahh, liquidmaybe they are just being cautious because it's early? I am sure they are pleased :)

I'm not feeling too bad here - felt absolutely dreadful on weds, and a bit ropey yesterday but kind of ok today. I do remember from first time round symptoms really came and went and I had good days and bad days. I got myself in a right stress with my first pregnancy analysing symptoms and whether they meant everything was ok but looking at what I wrote at the time I only had about five days of feeling really bad it was more the tiredness which when you're experiencing it is hard to identify as a sympton. I also got terribly rageful rather than weepy which was horrible! When not pregnant I'm quite a weepy sort of person so perhaps there was nowhere to go with at so all the hormones came out in a RAGE!

Hope everyone is coping ok :)

big cheery wave to everyone feeling rotten Misery loves company, and I'm very glad to be in yours. Worked late today, in the office now and working tomorrow, I just want sleep and a big mug of chicken broth. Had an ok day yesterday but today is just going to be horrid :(

Good luck with the scan, Tiny. Not long now. I was reading back through the old thread and notice you're Hypo as well! Are you actually me? Interesting they've put your dose up this early. I can't even rememember when they've put it up in the past, maybe I should pop to the GP's. I take 125mcg at the mo.

Funny about cravings, with DS I craved meaty things - sausage rolls, scotch eggs, pork pies (all the healthy stuff ). With DD more sweet things and fresh fruit and was absolutely obsessed with crunchy things like carrot sticks and crispbreads. Bit early with this one (still only 3+6, sigh) but I can tell I really want salty things. And things like ham sandwiches on white bread, with salty butter. I'm of the sort that needs to eat when feeling queasy!

Sorry to those of you with HG, sounds horrible. and to those with regular MS. I'm wondering whether to do some batch cooking now whilst I feel ok so at least the family have some food to eat for when I'm shattered and feeling rotten.

Wishing you good luck again Tiny

Liquid That is so rude and I am sorry by their lucklustre reaction.

I craved salty stuff when I was pregnant with DS. I am 6+5 today and have no symptoms at all. I think that this pregnancy is all in my head. I have a scan on Monday so hopefully it'll be good news.

I am sorry to say this but I really envy those who have MS.... but not those with HG, that sounds horrid.

Hi, just marking my place here if that's ok? Bfp on Wednesday, confirmed in words with a clear blue digi this morning. So 4+2 today, edd (I think) 27/6.

This is my second pregnancy, I had a mmc at 10 weeks in august with my first. We had been trying for two years so to say I was shocked when we got lucky the first proper cycle (1st period after the erpc was mid Sept) is an understatement. Barely any symptoms except sore boobs, and nervous as hell!

Thanks Emmazers - I didn't actually know it was Ada Lovelace day, shame on me. Good old Ada. If you're crying at Winnie the Poo, I defy you to get through Dr Seuss's Oh, The Places You'll Go. That gets me every time, pregnant or not. Do let us know how the acupuncture goes - I'd give that a bash.

It is nighttime here now and I've just had a bath and the queasiness has finally subsided. I wonder if it's like seasickness, and you feel better once you're actually in water? In which case, all we'll need to do is spend the next 6-9 weeks in the bath. I don't foresee any problems with that, do you? Right so. Who's got the Radox?

Bezza glad to hear you've got help. Don't worry about DS. He is probably a bit frightened, but little ones have very short memories.

LadyGoneGaga ....interesting. My cravings were similar, except I wasn't interested in fresh fruit with DD, only with DS. Otherwise, though, the salty boy/sweet girl thing was the same. We could be onto something here.

Good luck with the scan Tiny!

LadyGone I know it was ages ago but thanks for kind words about the race, I was slow as Christmas but I finished! I think we'll both be able to do a bit of jogging in the 2nd trimester! or that's what I'm hoping anyway....

Good lord, so, I'm a life model and I went for a four hour session today. Well, halfway through my first (sort of leaning, not even full standing) pose, I passed out! Thankfully I just sort of fell back on a table, but I believe I overheated under the lamp and now I'm convinced I've done serious damage to the squatter. :( I didn't finish the session, felt terrible as I'm normally super professional. Guess I won't be doing that for a while. The students were terrified! What an awful morning.
