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?

Finally going to tell my boss today too goats. Had the same issue with getting office ears wagging as soon as you shut a door so have been waiting until we have a private meeting scheduled anyway. It keeps getting postponed though which has been frustrating. Booked time off for midwife appointment but want to be able to save the holiday.

Must be a general feeling sick day today. I have barely made it out of bed yet. One good thing about work knowing, my boss told me just to go in when I can. My tummy is also feeling quite solid (also under flab!) I presumed it was wind!

officelady for with mrs email... Love it!

*go with not for stupid phone!

blueberry I told all my family by phone as they are 5 hours away and DH family by skype as they are 6000 miles! I told mum and dad straight away. Wish we could have told them in person but it was still wonderful. I dont know what to say about your sister though. It might be easier by phone or skype as she wont have to put on a brave face for you?

I've got a conference today, luckily only 10 minutes from where I live, so got to hang around at home heaving for an hour longer than usual. If I'm like this tomorrow, having a normal school day is going to be a bit tough. More than the staff knowing (I think they've guessed, my TA said yesterday 'ooh, you look GLOWING' and pointedly looked at my new lardy tummy), I want the kids to know. They'll be ace about it all, and probably cut me a bit of slack when I snap at them.

Hi all, mind if I also hop onto the bus? Like Breakfast I am more of a lurker than a frequent poster, and been lurking on here from the start but too paranoid to post.. as also (like Breakfast - waves to virtual twin) I had an ectopic last year, so wanted to wait for the scan to show everything was in the right place this time. Luckily I had my scan on Friday and it was (phew!)

EDD is 16th Oct (day after DS's 3rd birthday).. am currently 6+5, with nausea, extreme tiredness, sweats and shivering, weird dreams.. stretching cramps.. all good fun right! I forgot how awful the first trimester can be.. last time I was working from home through all of this, whereas this time I am meant to be working in London (I say meant to be as I'm currently off sick with a chest infection this week..) and I have to say the constant coughing really does not help the stomach cramps/stretching pains!

We have told close family on my side and DH's side already as they supported us through the ectopic and we knew if anything goes wrong this time we will need them again. Also for the same reason we have told a few close friends. I told my parents on facebook chat this time though.. and my brother and sister on email. I know they understand why it was a very understated announcement.

Workwise I told my boss fairly early with the ectopic (before we knew it was an EP) as I had a number of scans, etc (still can't believe they missed it) so needed to explain why I needed so much time off work. Also my boss was a good friend of both mine and DH. Unfortunately my boss has now changed, and I am in different circumstances, and am not planning to tell them until after the 12 week scan.

Breakfast I know how awful the wait is for that scan to know if the little bean made it to the right place. Fingers crossed for you!xxx

P.S. I live in South Staffordshire, not far from Birmingham

EDD 19th october, im 6.2 weeks.

Had an early scan last week as had some spotting but all fine and have got a follow up scan next wed when I should see the heartbeat have booking in appointment with the midwife on the 12th March.

Feel constantly nauses but havent been sick, just keep gagging, stretching cramps, really sore breasts, cold all the time and absoloutly exhausted.

I told my boss yesterday as its hard to hide how tired I am and we told mil as soon as I found out. For some reason im really nervous about telling my mum.

Another lurker jumping on the bus.....
Hello all :-)
DC 1, EDD 17 Oct
Feeling ok but trying not to think about it (yeah right) mc at 9 weeks last November so looking forward to getting past that stage, fingers crossed!
Like a few others I'm down in East Sussex. Work from home so nice and easy on not having to explain things but also no distraction from the moments of panic.

So I decided to poas again this morning...you wont be surprised to learn that I am.pregnant! Somebody please slap me!

to punky, good to see you here

Here's a virtual slap mum2, stop poas-ing

Welcome to all the newbies.

Just adding myself to the list!

Been to the GP this morning to be referred for booking appt. Exciting times.

Also - I'm seriously craving fresh stuff (guzzling apples by the billions today), but that's a good thing - right?!

Sending virtual slaps to mum2kiss!

Hello from Shrewsbury hospital (again!) Dehydrated again, still just trying to find the right meds. Just thought I would drop in and have a catch up.

Loving mrsthedog's email to boss. Very plain and simple terms but it gets the point across!

We've had to tell a few people as I've not been in work for 3 weeks and im getting lonely at home waiting for dh to finish work so I've told a couple of close friends. Toldd most people over the phone as they all live at least an hour away.

waves to punky Glad to have a virtual twin here!

It's a pretty rotten feeling knowing that I may go through it again, but I feel different this time compared to with the EP. This time I've got backache and getting lots of indigestion already, so I'm hopeful. Worst thing is trying to stop DH from getting too excited until we have the scan - he's wanted DC for ages.

Thanks for the slaps! I found myself thinking (as I still have a few ic left) that I could do another one on the morning of my first midwife appointment and then again on the morning of my scan!! I'm slowly losing the plot...

I want to tell people...dp wants to but is worried its too soon...id like to put 12 week scan pics in our mothers day cards...I doubt we can keep our mouths shut until then!!

mrs I am so sorry you are back in hospital again :( yippee for 3 weeks off work though! The school run is.killing me at the moment so I'd quite like a few weeks off!

They are making cut backs at work so im thinking I will try to keep my news to myself for now...dont wamt them to put my head on the chopping block just because im up the duff! Last time I had a baby they deleted my.post and gave me something else when I came back from mat leave! Dont want that happening again!

MrsB so sorry you're in hospital again. Really hope they can find some meds that work soon. It must be horrendous for you xx

Off to ireland today so a tonne of packing to do. Not really looking forward to the overnight flight to London with dd - DS will sleep in his seat but dd will be on my lap, my boobs are killing me so that should be fun! Fast forward to the end of the flight to cork!

8 weeks today.

I hope they can find some meds that work soon mrsb

I have told lots of people, I'm really rubbish at keeping secrets.

I'm still ill, I went to the Dr today and he said it was a virus, possibly flu, he was useless and told me not to take fever lowering drugs unless I can't sleep, he also said "your only 5 weeks pregnant so there is a high chance the pregnancy won't continue even if you didn't have a virus" I didn't find that comment very helpful!

I'm concerned about my core body temperiture, I woke up with a fever of 38.5 and it stays around 37.5 with paraceptamol. I had to resort to taking ds's calpol in the night as we had run out of adult paraceptamol, 8 spoons! Ugh it was gross.

I really hope my pregnancy isn't effected by me being ill, I have read on dr google that a fever increases the chance of a miscarriage and also nueral tube defects :(

I really hope they sort out your meds mrsb My sister was sick throughout her whole 2nd pregnancy so I have a vague idea how awful it can be :-(

ikea your doctor sounds like a total moron! How on earth he thinks it is acceptable to say something like that to a pregnant woman is beyond me! I thought I might have had a fever over the weekend with this chest infection/stinking cold thing I have, so took some paracetamol to lower it. I can't understand what would be wrong with that. Makes perfect sense to me as I was also worried about core body temperature (plus I had a stinking headache). I think you just need to follow your instincts on this one. Hope you feel better soon.

ikea step away from Google!

What sort of doctor says that?!!! Can you see a different doc next time? How insensitive!

Am a bit worried ladies and could do with some support please - am 7+3 today and have had quite significant pain in my right side for the past couple of days. It's a bit like period pain though a bit more extreme, down quite low (ie. near uterus I guess?) and it's got me concerned
Anyone else had this and/or know what it might be?
Doesn't feel like just stretching cramps and am knicker checking a lot, worried about mc or ectopic pregnancy.... I can't recall this in my first pregnancy...

If you're worried toffee contact your doctir or midwife if you have the details yet. I'm sure its nothing to worry about but best to check it out of you're concerned.

Step away from google!! It will not help!

ikea you should report that doctor! Completely unnecessary comment to make! How disgusting!

I also have been to the dr today... I had to see a locum as my dr has left the surgery :( he was lovely checked my weight and blood pressure which they never checked with my DS Pregnancy... He confirmed my dd to be Oct 14th :)
Have had awful stomach pains today though he said that it's all normal stretching pains so fingers crossed it is

Toffee I would echo mrsB to say definitely contact your doctor or midwife to get it checked out. If there is even the slightest concern of ectopic (which one sided pain would be) you need to get it checked out ASAP... do not feel worried you might be wasting anyone's time, etc.. you do not need this stress when it can easily be eased by a quick scan.

To give you another possibility though I was told in my scan last week I had a cyst on my left side.. and they asked if I had been having pain on that side.. Luckily I hadn't, but the last couple of days I have been! Cysts are very common in pregnancy so it could be something as simple as that.. but definitely best to get it checked!

Sorry but too many posts to reply to everyone but...

Binky Personally i wouldn't even contemplate an 8 hour drive (never mind the other 8 hour drive back home). I had SPD and dysfunctional sacroiliac joint in both pregnancies and any period of time sat stationary was agony. I went to a wedding when 6 months pregnant with ds1 which was 3 hours of hell in a car. I managed a wedding when exactly a month before ds2 EDD but that was only 90 min journey and I was in pain from that too. If anyone announces a last minute wedding for this year I will scream!

People worrying about being hot. You are meant to be hot. The hormones re pregnancy raise your body temperature, so it's a good thing. Although by the time summer comes, it's not great to be so hot....I have a fan aimed at me in bed and find it hard to sleep with the noise but even harder to sleep if burning up!

Sorry to hear you're still feeling rubbish MrsB and ikea your doctor doesn't sound very professional. I've taken paracetamol a few times for headaches- FX it's help lower your temp.
Told mum today- gave her an "I love my nanny" babygro and she got all excited and a little teary and said she'd already guessed the date as 25th Sept! Mum's are amazing! Now to catch up on OBEM
