August 2014 - Baking summer babies in our ovens.

Doesn't seem to be a new thread yet - correct me if I'm wrong.....
Continue as you were ladies..... :)

She's nearly 3, how about you??

My tiredness seems to have lifted a bit now (was awful over last few weeks) i can really sympathise felt really rotten especially whist trying to be fun/deal with dd!

However I still feel poorly pretty much all afternoon and evening. Weirdly mornings seem to be my best times

Mine is nearly two. I would have preferred a bigger age gap in many ways, but because of my age I decided to go for it - not knowing how long it could take. So she'll be about 2.5 I think, if all goes smoothly.

Yes, I guiltily feel like a very boring mother at the moment - poor DD is longing for a bit more action I think! Very sedentary Christmas . . .

I suppose as my dd is a bit longer I can't wait for the 12 week scan so I can tell her and she'll understand a little more. At the moment I keep telling her to be careful of tummy etc. she probably thinks I'm mad!! Luckily a few of my friends had babies recently so she understands babies and tummys

I think you'll have a lovely age gap!! That's what we originally wanted but Mother Nature intervened I don't mind now though as will be nice that dd will be in preschool a few days etc. every cloud and all that...

Longer?? Older

Oh, how lovely that she'll be able to understand about the baby. My best friend and her sister have a similar age gap to the one yours will have, and they have a really good relationship.

My dd landed on my abdomen this evening - her whole weight! Lovely. Couldn't avoid it in time. Hopefully I can train her not to do this over the next few months!

I am going to be counting down to the scan now too. My mum already knows but no one else does. Looking forward to being out in the open!

I know me to!! Just want to shout it from the roof tops! My mum and dad and two friends know and that's it. (Well and dh ) had to tell two friends as mum and dad live an hour away and thought I may need help with dd/childcare such as for the scan this sat!!

It's great that you have such good friends nearby. And I do think that the time will pass more quickly this time round because looking after a toddler prevents you dwelling on it!

I don't know secretly it's still dragging for me but don't mind once I get to 12 weeks

The thread is quiet this morning! Hope everyone's okay - sickness wise, scan wise, mood wise!

Morning everyone- scan went well, baby all in right place and a strong heartbeat which i had a little cry to! We are so happy!

Yay!! That's fantastic, Countdown! So reassuring. Have a great day!

Aw, so pleased for you countdown! lovely news xxx

Excellent news, Countdown. :-)

I'm almost symptomless today. It's bothering me.

I'm not sure copious farting is enough of a symptom to stop my concern! :-/

Fantastic news, Countdown!! I think I'll get teary if I get to hear a little heartbeat too!!

Thank you everyone- it all feels so much more real now! She gave me a little picture of the jelly bean which I can't stop looking at!

Hungry my symptoms come and go a lot and I find they are worst in the evening and at night.

I think if I was working I'd be suffering more, but the fact I'm able to take it really easy means I don't suffer from the sickness as much.

I'm booking in tomorrow, so I can discuss my concerns with the midwife, see what she says.

Hungry, I'm a bit symptomless, boobs hurt at end of the day and my nipples well you could cut glass with them. Sickness comes and goes, mainly gone though. My hips and pelvic area hurt though, which my midwife told me could be spd coming back, she said if you've had it first time round your prone to getting it earlier after. Just feel tired more than anything. I've been feeling better since last Friday, had a scan Sunday and all was fine so hopefully that's just good signs x x

Morning all

Countdown that's great news about your scan - that must have been really reassuring and so lovely to get an early pic!

Congratulations secretly pregnant!

My symptoms come and go too - one minute I'm thinking maybe I feel ok and like I have energy and then the tiredness overwhelms me again and I have to sit down (sometimes on the floor of the train if I haven't got a seat - I'm prone to fainting and this seems to be a trigger!). Nausea is mostly gone but sometimes returns helpfully before mealtimes. DH made a lovely supper of fish and veggies last night and I took one bite and was like 'nope'. Ended up having a wedge of cheddar and an apple... I can't wait for green veg to come back into my life! They're the last thing I feel like at the moment.

Oh dreamphone, I am the same and keep feeling super guilty when I tell DP that I'm not interested in what he's made! the other day it was chorizo - nope!!

8+6 today and I am constantly nauseous, throwing up at least three times a day, plus dry heaving, loudly hiccupping every few minutes, and hating being at work!!
Moan moan moan....

I have to say it's rather comforting to know we're all in the same boat!

Flymo I had visions of myself being some kind of healthy eating earth mother living of nutrient rich lentils and vegetable stews - it aint happening! If I could have any food right now it would be shredded wheat with hot milk and loads of white sugar sprinkled on top...

I'm off to my next scan shortly. Going between completely over excited to absolutely terrified within the space of a few minutes! no reason to believe there's a problem but that doesn't stop me!!
Hopefully I'll report back this afternoon with good news. Countdown I'm so pleased you got good news!

And I'm tucking into a cheese and pickle roll with crisps instead if the veg soup waiting patiently in the fridge forme

Thank you Name

Hope your scan goes ok!

Great news countdown save your piccie for the baby book!!

All pretty quiet here, sicky feeling but stuffed a cheese sarnie and that helped! Im terrible at eating healthy food, I have literally ate one banana since getting pregnant
