October 2014 thread 2 - Morning sickness, munchies and very tired mummas!

[bumpbangbump]

Old thread is getting full so here's a nice new one for all our moaning, paranoia and getting each other through it. Can someone do the honers and copy our edd list over? Maybe link the old thread too?

pebble, similar to what I had on Friday - rushed like a sobbing mess into the doctor - everything was absolutely fine, heartbeat strong etc. The doctor said mine was probably leftover implantation 'fluid' and nothing at all to worry about.

mrsthedog if it's any consolation, my symptoms were so much less last week, but they came back with a vengeance this weekend. I'm trying to find something I can eat without throwing it right back up. How attractive pregnancy is!

I want to find out the sex, but DP doesn't. That's going to be a beast of a secret to keep! I think he'll give in eventually... I can't decide if to watch OBEM or if it will make me even more of a paranoid mess than I am already. We don't get it here in Mexico but think it's on Youtube. I think curiosity will get the better of me...

I will have to wait till tomorrow and watch it on catchup,I love obem, makes me cry every time though.

I found my birth experience nothing like most of the births on obem, but I guess they choose the more interesting/dramatic births.

I live in Stockholm, I miss my family lots but Sweden is a fantastic place to bring up children, I am currently craving pickled onion monster munch, they don't sell them here so I will have to do without.

Good afternnon everyone.
mundy I worked a night shift last night too zzzz have 2 in a row coming up hate nights! Luckily ive moving to clinic next month so will be workjng normalish hours for a few months can't wait.

I am a bit north of Perth. It's a great place to bring up a family.
Told my boss today as my job is very physical and I am often hit or kicked (sounds awful but it is a lovely job,honest!) and she was even more excited than me, made things seem very real.
Feel fine, just a horrible watery mouth and a vague feeling of nausea.
Hope everyone else is doing well too.

mrsthedog good I have someone with the same dates as me! After trying for 6 months it's still sinking in and I'm nervous I'll get to the scan and they're will be nothing there... I felt the same with my first so fingers crossed it's just paranoia...

Yay for OBEM! I always cry too!
Aw, hud, that's so nice of your boss!
Sazzle...I'm PMing you!

oooh OBEM always loved a good labour programme. I always get a bit emotional when they are born.

I have to say I generally feel like shit, I feel pregnancy was misrepresented to me as a magical experience

I don't know what to do about gender stuff. We're doing harmony test, so could find out. Asked bf, who said he wasn't bothered. So, up to me.

I'll wait to see if it's all viable at the scan before they take the bloods. If it is, I'll make a gut reaction decision.

Having said that, I had a feeling really early on that it's a girl. Said to bf that I know what it is (didn't say which), and he replied so do I, it's a girl.

Blueberry i feel like that too. I was worried the first time but didn't know what to expect so a bit more blissfully unaware. This time it took 14 months to fall pg so I am more worried than before that something will be wrong. However like I said in a previous post I'm trying so hard to put that worry to the back of my mind, it won't change a thing and only make these early weeks more stressful than they need to be easier said than done of course!

Wow, you can find out in the harmony test - so really early? We'll be finding out at the 20 week scan, did with DS too, it just enhances the whole experience for me - like looking through a guidebook before you go on holiday and thinking about the things you're going to do when you get there!

It is going to be so hard to find names that work in both English and Swedish and that we both like so it will be easier if we only have to consider either boy or girl names!

I'll be giving obem a miss - after a traumatic birth resulting in emcs first time around I find it too hard to watch.

Will definitely find out sex this time, for all the practical reasons about whether to keep dd's clothes or not! Plus i don't like surprises My dh wanted to last time, I wasn't bothered but actually glad we did as I felt it helped me bond with her before she arrived, but everyone is different so just follow your gut feeling.

Cakebaker35 I couldn't watch the first series of OBEM as it aired just after DD was born (6 weeks premature, 2 weeks in SCBU) and was a bit close to home, but managed the second series the year after no problems. I think being able to watch it showed I had got over it in many ways.

We found out the sex of DCs 1 & 2 as I am impatient and of the opinion that if they can tell you, why wouldn't you want to know? I did have a moment with this one when I thought maybe it would be nice to have a surprise, but we had such problems choosing a boy's name last time, plus it's just easier for practicalities to know the sex.

We won't find out, we didn't the first time so most of the early stuff is unisex so it doesn't matter either way. OH wants to know, but I quite like a surprise.

Cake after emcs too with DC1 I can watch OBEM but I have to shut my eyes during the csection bits, I can't watch because I know that's how they cut me - makes me feel pukey!

I want to find out the sex...for all the practical reasons and because I like to be clear about who is causing all the pain lol!

I live in Reading :)

not feeling pregnant today which brings all the mmc worries! Trying to stay positive!

Hi all, newbie here! I'm due with my first 13 October. Very excited / scared / overwhelmed! So 7 weeks and feeling constantly sick, exhausted and emotional! Struggling with the sickness, getting really tired of it now! Any tips / advice greatly appreciated! X

Well, this is all getting real: checked in with the doctor today and made my booking in appointment with the midwife. The doctor is the only person I've told - I'm sort of enjoying the secret while I can keep it!

Looking forward to One Born tonight - I have always liked it but I think it will be extra interesting (or scary?!) now I'm pregnant...

Hi hudyerweesht I'm west of Perth and work in town. Will poss be on the same antenatal classes then. If you're doing the NCT ones?

I had a bit of a nightmare today. My sister has decided to bring her wedding forward from next year to 23 August this year. Not looking forward to an 8 hour drive to London, not drinking and looking like a whale with about 6 weeks til due date. She knows I'm pregnant too. Just keep thinking I'm glad I'm not a bridesmaid!!!

Anyone with LO's already can you say how you felt with 6 weeks to go? I imagine to be huge and waddling?!

Know how you feel binky my SIL is getting married 27th Sept so I'll probably have my waters break on the dance floor!! Told her at Christmas that it would be Sod's law that we fell in January!

Binky, I don't have any experience to add as this is my first, but it sounds like your dsis isn't being particularly thoughtful... Not all pregnant women are still able to travel easily that close to giving birth!

I came back to ask a question about my gp visit today: when I told him the date of my last period he had a plastic disc thing and he worked out the dates but said I was about 7 weeks and due around the 13th of Oct. Thats about 3 days out from the online calculators I've used - is he using an old method or might his be more accurate?!

magic and sazzle thanks I sometimes think maybe watching it might help with coming to terms with it....but I'm a chicken I had a bit of counselling after which helped but still nervous about watching it. weirdly I can watch csection no probs as that is what saved us. It's the labour/shouting/screaming stuff that is the bit I don't want to revisit!

sazzle without jumping the gun, do you think you will go for a vbac or elcs this time? I'm told I will be able to discuss and choose with the consultant at 20wks assuming I get that far, but have no idea how to decide....I guess I'll cross that bridge if/when I come to it.

Binky tbh I felt fine at 34 weeks with both of mine, big but not at the waddling stage as neither were engaged at that point. That 8 hour car drive may be a bit longer as you'll probably need more loo breaks than normal! Though I never suffered from any SPD or bad aches (bar periods of excruciating sciatica). It may be that you just can't face it...

I've told some family today and i think it was too soon but someone saw something on my phone so kinda had to... Still hasn't sunk in for me so wasn't happy I had a phone snooper... I didn't find out the sex with my DS felt in my gut he was a boy though... I won't find out this time either as have lots of unisex bits also I have so much family they'll swamp me with gifts at the birth...

Also just wondering for those who have told people have you had any of the nonsense I've had today? " well I hope this ones a girl" "you need to have a girl this time" or "bet your hoping it's a girl!" It's so annoying I would be estatic with another boy, yes it would be nice to have a girl but I'm honestly not bothered in the slightest!
