Oh gosh winkly hope you are ok.

I completely lost it in Sunday too so sympathise with how you're feeling. I really hope it's just a similar thing to what I had and your little one is ok. If it was only slight it sounds ok, maybe it's the same thing and implantation of the placenta or something like that. my new EDD is 24th so very close to you.

Fingers crossed all ok

Oh winnkly I hope it is nothing. Stressful though I am sure.

vicky that is brilliant news

Fingers crossed clever I honestly am finding this time so different so maybe you will be pleasantly surprised.

Hang in there winkly fingers crossed all will be fine

What a rough bunch we all are at the moment. I went to the Doctor's this morning for a much needed appt - I'm so sodding ill - I booked it yesterday and the receptionist said 'tomorrow 10am'. I turned up today and she said 'no your appointment is tomorrow.' I was so upset I nearly burst into tears there & then - completely ridiculous of course!

Hopefully we'll all be out of the dumps soon!!

vicky that's wonderful news. So glad you didn't have to wait all day for news. here's to an uneventful pregnancy.

poppy sorry you are having a tough time. Me and DH have been married 9 years and there were definitely harder times we have been through. Life with young children can be hard on the strongest couple.

MTMD your husband sounds lovely. Be gentle on yourself.

gilly enjoy your day tomorrow and book a GP appointment for later in the week. Sounds fairly innocent. Pregnancy is such a roller coaster eh?

Congrats on all scans!

Having good spells and bad during the day. Keep thinking maybe things are improving and then feel wiped out again. I'm now aiming for feeling terrific by Christmas!
Off to first obstetric visit today. I have no idea what they do here in NYC. Says a full top to toe examination on the website. Not really looking forward to that! dunno if I will get a scan or not today. Will have to wait and see.

I'm feeling sliiiiightly better now, after nearly 23 hours of pain. Still in bed afraid to move, though..

Carrie, congratulations! I cannot wait for our scan, excited but also nervous..

BEE, I normally take triptans which are very effective. But they interfere with your head blood vessels & serotinin receptors and I don't want to harm the baby as a side effect. There are no tests re safety during pregnancy only very limited registry which hasn't found anything bad but it's not statistically reliable.. Might have to take them later but really want to avoid until next trimester...

Sorry to all who feel rotten. What a day!!! I'm starting to think that small bleeds are normal at this stage, so many here had them and babies are fine :)

MIL has told her sister!!! Apparently she knew I'd been ill (why she was even told this I don't know, because she lives miles away and doesn't need to know) and asked directly and MIL felt she couldn't lie. I asked her to in future!! I didn't make a big deal out of it but I'm really quite upset. Have asked DH to ring his aunt to tell her under no circumstances to tell anyone else (MIL has more siblings that now I think they may tell) but he hasn't replied yet. We told parents that we didn't want to tell ANYONE else until after the scan and now she has done this.

I don't know what to do now because I don't want there to be a bad atmosphere but I'm so upset. I didn't say much at the time because MIL has been really nice and made me lunch but I told DH I thought this might happen and he swore it wouldn't.

Oh super, thats a real shame and i would be quite cross about it too. Something so special shouldbbe Your news to tell, not for it to be treated like gossip. Hope the mil keeps a lid on it!

Oh super, this happened to me in my last pregnancy. My fil told his parents because they asked him outright, and he said he couldn't lie. then mil told us that sil was pregnant, and told them we were, and I'm sure they told many more people :(
That was after I had explained to both how scared of mc I was and how I didn't want people knowing till after the scan and they said ok, we will keep it secret we promise.

I don't have any advice, but you do have my sympathy, I was very upset last time about it. That's why this time pil won't know until after the scan.
Hopefully your scan isn't too far away!

super my mum told my granny approximately 2 minutes after I told her and asked her to keep it amongst herself, my dad and sister. I was a bit miffed but there's really no point in staying angry, her knowing won't jinx anything and there will be plenty of people for you to tell.

Mtmd I'm really not sure, I think it was codeine that I was prescribed to some pregnant ladies? If you can cope then it's probably better to avoid, I habe some 4head and Tiger Balm in every handbag now. ... Not that it helps with real killer headaches or migraine.

I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't have a few hours sleep every afternoon.

I'm not worried about jinxing things - think I'd drive myself utterly crazy if I let myself think that! Tbh I'm also annoyed at DH's aunt - don't most people have the sense to realise that if someone wants them to know they're pregnant they will tell when they're ready? It did put mil in a difficult position (although I'm still annoyed). I'm not going to make a massive deal over it, has just taken some of the shine off DH has a really close family and it's going to be awkward now.

Wrinkly and Cherry I sympathise. It's so bloody annoying! Next time we will only tell my mum because she's the only person we can 100% trust!!

BEE I'm going through loads of 4head at the moment :) Not sure about codeine - I think it's addictive so not suitable for people with chronic migraines.
Tried to get up only to realise my head still hurts!!
Very healthy diet today: 1 packet of salted pistachios, 1 pack of crisps, a carton of pineapple juice and some satsumas

I thought people wouldn't ask either, but they do! I personally wouldn't ask someone as I feel its their news to tell when they are ready.
Like winkly said - you will have loads of other people to tell :)

I had my booking appointment today which was exciting as its feeling more real now! I might even have a scan date by the end of the week! Woohoo!

Mtmd pineapple juice sounds so good!

MTMD sounds similar to my diet, anything starchy, satsumas are the only healthy think I can stand. It's been a bit better this week, nausea is better and I've actually cooked twice this week.

I've told family and my best friend straight away and gave my mom and my boss the all clear to tell people once I had my ok scan. MIL has told everyone, but I didn't expect any different, that's the same woman who invited all her family to our small wedding ceremony even though only parents and siblings were supposed to be there. Good thing I'm easy going. ...

Bleurgh first evening ms - was working late and had to dash to toilet. Feeling very sorry for myself.

I understand those for whom more people know than they'd like. We told DS at the weekend cos we were telling MIL but can't see my parents til Friday so spent all weekend drilling him on how it was a secret. Two days at nursery and all the staff know. I know I can't blame him but it feels awful that these relative strangers know before my mum.

With the exception of my sister, we didn't tell a soul before the scan, but now absolutely everyone knows. My mom did ask if it would be ok to spread the news, and we told her to go ahead. We aren't posting it on Facebook just yet, though.

I can definitely understand being miffed if people blurted out your secret, especially if they had already promised not to! If someone asks them point blank surely their answer should be, "if they are, it's their news to tell" and that wouldn't be lying at all.

Good luck to you girls with scans tomorrow!! One more sleep

My DH has a twin and they are super close. But sadly we cant tell him because his wife cannot keep any secrets, I might aswell tell the BBC radio :D

mtmd - I don't know how you're coping! I'm almost 48hours in a bad headache and the 4head is making me nauseous but no longer detracting from the pain very well. Can't wait to get home from work and hide under the duvet! And it's only a headache. Hopefully your migraine goes soon!

We've still not told anyone. I'm a little worried as we'll end up telling the parents up to three weeks apart if we do it face to fave. That's a long time for potential leakage!

So pleased for you Vix and Gilly I feel your pain! mine is tomorrow too at 1pm!!!! I wouldn't worry too much about the blotch my skin has become ultra sensitive of late and blotches are frequent! Good luck scan buddy and hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks ladies

Right I'm home from work... Pjs on... DH is "cooking" a delightful meal... Birdseye chicken dippers and chips haha

14 hours til my scan! CMOOOOON!

Hoping I sleep well tonight and morning comes quickly!

Saying extra prayers tonight and wishing for everything to be ok.

Good luck with the scans tomorrow - don't forget we love to see the pics so don't forget to post us one

Also chillin in my PJs, with a mug of horlicks! I really know how to live these days.

Hoping DH will be home soon so I can show him the pic from today, the previous one was just a blob but this at least looks kind of like a mini baby - in that it is a blob with a head!

Just wanted to check in to say hi. Not had huge chance to catch up on tread. I am permanently shattered just now. The full timer in my work has just left and I am carrying her caseload as well as mine on part-time hours. I am so shattered when I get in from work and literally can't keep my eyes open.
Just wanted to say thinking of everyone and especially those struggling. Pregnancy is full of ups and down sand lots of worry.
Agree with what another poster said about little ones putting strain on the strongest relationships.
Wishing everyone restful and calm nights sleep .

I had my booking appointment this morning with a lovely midwife who came for an hour and a half home visit.

She was happy that I was low risk, so lots of options for birth :) All good news, and scan date soon hopefully!

Hope everyone who is feeling rubbish turns the corner soon. I had been feeling much better this week but came over super nauseous at lunchtime.

Thank goodness for pyjamas and bacon sandwiches, that's all I can say.
