Sounds like a good day WifeofGru, maybe your going into next phase and less horrible symptoms.
Indian was amazing, got a chicken korma, pilau rice and garlic Nan, was really lovely and all the more so with child free house!
Hope everyone has restful nights sleep tonight.
Welcome to the new JuneBugs on the thread, it just keeps growing! Smile

MarlenaGru · 10/11/2013 19:05

clutter does your Dsil want another? Enjoy child free curry!
I must confess to having a massive roast lunch and DH is making lasagna for dinner Blush 200kg before June here I come!

MyNameIsWinkly · 10/11/2013 19:41

You lot are a bad influence on me, I took today off work because I felt so ill but feel much better now, I'm on my own and have just ordered from the Indian! Only tandoori chicken and saag aloo, could be worse, but still.

MTMD · 10/11/2013 19:55

Oh no I can't think of Indian! Can't think of any food to be honest.. :( Wanted to watch Homeland tonight but thinking I should perhaps just go to bed, sleep in the only cure..
I'm training at work tomorrow, same as last Monday when I failed to show up! In fact, the same person, I really really cannot bail second Monday in a row :(

Welcome to new ladies!

Zaxter · 10/11/2013 20:00

Hi Ladies,

Ok if I join in? I'm only 7+3 (26th June) but feeling rubbish so nice to read that I am not alone. I remember this time as being hugely exciting last time (my dd was 1 last week) but this time around I am spending heaps of time worrying about being rubbish with dd as just so sick/tired and how on earth I am going to manage with two! Was completely planned but am now bricking it.

Oh, am also delighted too - moods changeable!

ohcluttergotme · 10/11/2013 20:33

Marlena I'm sure after today that my dsil will be terrified for her little one coming and I dread to think how she'll react in the morning when she realises my ds gets up very very early! I too am going to be massive. I saw my other dsil today who is getting married next May and said I'll probably need to get a tent to wear by next may!!
MTMD, good luck for tomorrow, it's such a horrible feeling of knowing your not 100% but knowing your work will be piling up and your letting people down Hmm.

ohcluttergotme · 10/11/2013 20:36

Welcome Zaxter. Sure those feelings are really normal.
We planned this baby (3rd) and I'm now panicking at lack of space in our house and how I'm going to cope with relatively new job. I then feel guilty as a good friend has been trying for 2 years and has just went through 1st round of private IVF which failed and I feel guilty thinking I shouldn't worry about how I'll cope, lack of space, impact on other children. It's hard though, sure your dd will be so happy to have a younger sibling when they come along.

SicknSpan · 10/11/2013 20:52

MTMD I lurve Homeland too, really hope we catch up with Brody tonight, such a good storyline. Love it. (Also going to sky + it tho, too tired!)

Welcome to lgwilk, Poet and zaxter. Can't believe we are still adding more June bugs :)

Sickness controlled here, but feel utterly shattered. Loaded the dishwasher and tumble drier earlier and it wiped me out! Had a 2 hr nap to recuperate.

Thant believe Hannah and Abi are in xfactor sing off- thought they were both good last night... (Guilty pleasure!)

SicknSpan · 10/11/2013 20:53

Sorry that should have been Can't believe. Don't know what Thant believe even means!

ThreeFromDesire · 10/11/2013 21:29

Marking. Cake for everyone Grin

MarlenaGru · 10/11/2013 21:35

Lol clutter I didn't realise this is their first Grin
I had lovely 3 month old cuddles today. Really can't dare to get excited that we will have one soon!
I am very worried about DD's reaction. She will be 6 by June and gets so much attention from us all. It is going to be a huge shock, but to be honest I can reason and talk to her so hoping I can help her understand. I get the feeling guilty as I am so snappy when tired at the moment.

wispaxmas · 10/11/2013 21:41

Marlena, this is my first, but I'm also feeling guilty about how snappy I've been recently with H! Sure, he's not 5 years old, but he can sure sulk like it!

bellygazing · 10/11/2013 21:44

Hi all, been reading but not posting as sooi drained. Have just got back from a lovely weekend away in the Cotswolds with a friend, leaving DD with DH. Was so nice lying in. Friend ended up being the first person I told other than DH and dr as on Friday I started having huge dizzy spells - earth going round in circles - and I didn't want her to worry if I fell over inexplicably! She was lovely about it. Sickness has subsided a bit to make way for swirling room. .. not sure which is worse... not sure how I'll manage at work if it continues.Got my scan date, 7 December. Was really pleased it was a Saturday so no need for time off work until I realised it's the one Saturday I may need to work before Xmas at my new job... hope everyone feeling not toi bad, enjoy the curries!

MarlenaGru · 10/11/2013 22:06

wispa my DH is a sulker and has been attempting to be annoyed at my snappiness but I can't be arsed to deal with a sulky DH, on top of feeling sick and knackered!

Tronbear · 11/11/2013 00:05

Hello, can I join too? I have been lurking since the beginning, but joining felt a bit too much like committing to something I was worried would be taken away. 9 weeks today though, so it is beginning to feel almost real! The sickness is very real!

I have found all your posts super helpful, especially as I have been feeling so awful (horrible nausea (although I am very happy not to have actually thrown up...yet), tiredness beyond belief and rather a case of the blues). Reading all your experiences has made me feel much less pathetic and realise it is pregnancy (my first) in all its joys.

Did find a quite large lump in my breast on Friday though. My breast are so heavy and painful I felt sure GP was going to say it was just a pregnancy thing, but she referred me straight to a breast surgeon, which was not the comforting experience I was hoping for (although she did think it could be pregnancy-related, she just didn't know). I can see this roller-coaster is just not going to stop!

I am going to get Harmony test too, but going to wait until 12 weeks as I only want one scan. Anyone know why you would have the Nuchal fold scan as well as Harmony? Isn't Harmony more accurate? I can't seem to figure of the benefit of both (which is what the FMC do).

Now, there must be something else I can eat round here somewhere, although working out what I want is getting harder and harder.

WifeofGru · 11/11/2013 02:26

Welcome tronbear
Sorry to hear about your breast lump. It is highly likely to be benign - either normal glandular breast tissue made more prominent by pregnancy, a cyst or fibroadenoma. GP is right to refer you for assessment. I have some professional experience in this area. You will probably also have an ultrasound. Good luck and I hope you get an appointment quickly and that everything turns out fine.

jaykay987 · 11/11/2013 05:49

Tronbear - sorry to hear about your lump. I know how stressful that can be. Happened to me last year just before my wedding. FX everything is ok for you.
I answered your harmony question on the other thread. You can ask to refuse the nuchal scan. Fmc require it so they can build their stats for their research.

Hope everyone has a good day. I've been up half the night, and feel really sick. Haven't been able to be properly sick or to try food yet. It'll probably sort me out if I can manage to keep anything down. In the meantime Im battling with my conscious. DH thinks I should call in sick. Im battling guilt and the fear this is only the beginning and so I might need a sick day if it gets worse. Uuuurrrrrggggghhhhh.....

GillyBillyWilly · 11/11/2013 06:48

Morning all! It's Monday morning and my baby has been upgraded to a lime!! Grin

Exited because my scan is now NEXT WEEK and hoping+praying that everything will be fine.

Gotta get through this week!!!!

I've got a stinking cold though and feel pretty crappy at the moment!

GillyBillyWilly · 11/11/2013 06:49

Excited not exited! Grin

GinandStripes · 11/11/2013 06:53

Oooh Gilly - how exciting, a lime - I believe mine is a prune but will be calling it an extra big Olive!

I got all excited yesterday as I was feeling pretty good but when my alarm went off at 5.30am this morning I realised I only felt good yesterday because I got a decent lie in. Feeling bleurgh.

BUT loving that I am now 10 weeks - that sounds proper! And hopefully I will hear from the midwife this week to finally get dates for scans.

Jaykay I with your DH, call in sick - if you have been up half the night you'll be no good to them anyway. You need rest. x

ohcluttergotme · 11/11/2013 06:53

Hope you feel ok Jaykay. I'm trying to get ready for work but in tears watching the footage of the Philippines on the news.
Wishing everyone a good day today Smile

GinandStripes · 11/11/2013 06:55

Oh and a big hello to all the new additions Smile

MTMD · 11/11/2013 08:19

Gilly, how exciting!!!

I'm at work. Feeling TERRIBLY SICK. To make things worse we're also having a power cut, my computer's offline and there are no lights in the loos which is horrid since I might need to feed the fishes any minute now...

wispaxmas · 11/11/2013 08:40

Exciting Gilly! I've got mine in 4 days, and I hope hope hope they're going to be able to do the test alright.
