Brewing September 2014 beauties

New thread for the chattiest bunch of mummies to be I've ever known!!

Cumbrian I have struggled to eat anything for weeks. 12 weeks next Wednesday and have lost a bit of weight so glad I've found these bands now, will be throwing everything down me. I have low blood pressure and the midwife was keen for me to put on weight between booking appointment and scan (also next weds).

Hello, thought I'd better 'check in' :) EDD 22nd sept! At the moment my biggest pregnancy problem is brushing my teeth!: the mint makes me heave. Lol. Managed to get some children's toothpaste, so we'll see how that goes... Hope everyone's else's pregnancies are going well

Cumbrian - funnily enough I can stomach the shite food, it's healthy food that turns my stomach?? Weird

I had a little freak out last night. Lying in bed, hubby says to me 'Aww there will be a little baby over there in a few months' as he looks over the only only space in our bedroom that will fit the Moses basket or cradle. Wowser, it sent me into a tiz. In a good ish way. I started to cry, saying all the silly stuff like oh my god, what am I going to do with a baby? I don't know what to do!! Hubby was great giving me hugs and patting me like a dog haha. However deep down I really just wanted him to say Bex!! You'll be amazing!! Yet that didn't come lol!!

11 weeks tomorrow and my nausea seems to be getting worse?? Are the anti sickness bands just for actual physical sickness or can they possibly help with nausea?

Welcome to the newbies

bex they help with nausea. They don't seem to work for everyone, but they work for me and for a lot of ladies on here so def worth a go. X

Thanks LH think I will order some today. Worth a go I guess. If I get hungry, the warm sicky feeling is horrendous how are you doing x

Sorry for your loss Carly that's my worst fear but you will get through it. I will say a prayer for you and your family

I'm around 7/8 weeks. Due date us currently 29/09/14 but have a feeling it will end up being October. I feel so tired and pukey nearly all the time....boo plus stomach cramps and I believe it gets worse

Hello ladies. I keep on being told "you should be feeling better by now" and to be honest a lot of the time I do but I was still very sick in Friday rather than nauseous. In a way it felt better!

I was so lucky on Friday. My OH took me out in a 1950s Cadilac and for a high tea style dinner up the Spinnaker Tower. The weather was so severe the whole tower was swaying in the wind by a good few inches but at least that way everyone felt sick not just me! It was perfect and the view was beautiful. OH said next year we'll probably fall asleep in front of a DVD and a cold Chinese takeaway with a 5 month old on my chest. To be honest that sounds perfect in a different way =)

2 more sleeps til my 12 week scan!

Emilyjane my stomach cramps have got better and I'm 11 weeks if that makes you feel a tiny bit better lol

Ooh bug, exciting about your scan!! I've still got 10 days to wait and it's dragging!!

Actually worst bit is how emotional and sensitive I am. Especially as I'm already that way inclined. My boyfriend is finding it hard to be patient with me and see that I feel like crap. He's never been the most affectionate person but I feel like I'm not going cope feeling like this without a cuddle now and then. FEEL MEGA DOWN TODAY. Sorry to moan

I think he reckons me feeling yuk is all in my head. I have tried taking to him but it's not really helped. He gets all defensive and says things like your making me sound like I'm this terrible person and making me feel small. I'm at my wits end

I can also happily eat junk food lol. Bad mammy!!

I think my nesting instinct is going insane already. Every little bit of dirt or clutter is driving me crazy and in turn I am driving DH crazy haha. I want to re-gloss some of the white wood work around the house but DH informs me I shouldn't be going anywhere near gloss paint. Damn!

Emilyjane, I feel for you. I have days where I could happily hurt DH because he too sometimes just thinks I'm overreacting with symptoms etc, but it's hard for them as they don't feel anything or go through anything we are going through. It's like if DH got kicked in the nuts and started crying, I'd be probably trying not to giggle telling him to man up - because I have no concept of that kind of pain. Bad example because being kicked in the nuts is dangerous so would hope that I wouldn't laugh but you get my drift. Try not to take it to heart xx

Thanks Missing This thread is definitely proof that it's different for everyone so I'll stop stressing. I'm just so keen to see & hear him or her and check they're okay.

He's never been very clean either and I've always cleaned up after him and his brother and dog but now I'm pregnant I have not got the energy so he's like I've lost this domestic goddess. Thank god his brother and dog are going before baby comes as they just lodge at his house. I had a cry and moan at him and think he has listened. Thanks everyone

My DH was a bit like that with our first 2 Emily. I think it was partly because they weren't planned but mostly down to feeling helpless and clueless and not knowing what to do.
This time ive made it v clear that I don't expect it to feel real to him as he can't see or feel anything atm. I've explained how ms works for me and given tips on helping - if I can eat quickly, I can stop it getting too bad. This means he gets to be the hero by getting me a yogurt rather that feeling guilty for causing the sickness
I've also given clear instructions for when I'm too tired to cook and a list of v simple nutritious meals he can do (he seriously can't cook).
Finally I showed him the thread of silly things ppl have cried at on the pregnancy board and shared a couple of silly teary moments ive had (Katy Perrys firework???) so he gets the crying really is just hormones and he can comfort me. Before he automatically thought me crying was an accusation but now he gets it better.
Anyway, sorry for the long post but that's what worked for me this time after DH being a complete arse in previous pregnancies. I hope your dp sorts his act out too.

Just checking im quickly to say hi.
Will update later x

Im 11 weeks today and the ms for the last four days has been far worse than ever, I walk around retching until Im violently sick. I usually feel better after Im sick though. I still have no idea what I can eat to feel better/settle my stomach.

Thankfully the dizziness was a one off, that was a bit scary! Thanks for those that posted about low blood pressure/low sugar. Its just another joy of pg.

Im feeling like 'enough now' I want to get over this and start to feel human and do normal things. Im on the cusp of seeing GP, or should I wait and see if the 12 week stage is all its promised to be?

Late to check in! Had my booking appt last week and thought my midwife was lovely. Can't wait for my scan, all the excitement is making me scatterbrained. [Grin]
My morning sickness has finally eased up a little at 9 weeks. I do still throw up every now and then but at least the constant nausea has gone!

I am worrying to much!

Symptoms are swinging in and out.

Argh why can't it be 12 weeks yet!

Got my booking in apmt tomorrow! I'm 10 + 3 but midwife has been off so had to wait. Hope I don't have to wait too long for my scan!

cookie I'm with you on the hurrying time up front. I'm so sick to death of worrying and I'm actually starting to get on my own nerves!

I was reminded by my DH yesterday that I once told him "worries are wishes for things to go wrong" (my pregnancy yoga instructor told me that last time, sadly not my own wise words) so I'm trying to think positive in that vein. But it's not working, I just don't feel this has a happy ending.

Hi everyone, my EDD by my calculations is 25th September. I'm about 8-9 weeks and I've still got another 2 weeks until my booking appointment. I'm so impatient! This is my first and I can't wait for the scan. I think I have been really lucky so far. Hardly any symptoms except sore boobs and tiredness. I am a bit worried because we are going on holiday tomorrow for 2 weeks to the states. Just don't want to be feeling rubbish while I'm away. Has anyone else ever travelled in the first trimester?

broody still can't help but worry (cause of my previous mmc) just wishing my life away till 12 weeks then I'll stop!

Just did another pregnancy test which has made me feel better as I did one around this time last time and it wasn't a strong + but the one I just did is uber strong! crazy
