[ParanoidCoventGarden75]

Due in December? Welcome to the never-ending 1st trimester of the Xmas baby club.
The stats page can be found here XmasBabyClub

Does anyone else get Migraine? Woken up with a horrible head and nausea. Normally would take sumatriptan but I'm not allowed. I have had some paracetamol but it doesnt touch the sides. Was meant to be going canoeing today (gently).

I bought sea bands yesterday out of desperation but I don't really believe in them :( plus I think my wrists are too fat for them as they just hurt!

I swear by sea bands. Mental or not it's meant to be like acupuncture in the wrists by using pressure points. You can get 'pregnancy' ones but all they are is pink and more expensive!
I found after 10 minutes they'd kick in, forget I was wearing them the once I took them off, usually bed time in about 5 minutes of taking them off id feel almost travel sick again.
Did find it easier to cope at work. Haven't worn them for a week or so, been ok with the feeling sick now it's just the urge to be sick and I am rather than the warning unless passenger in car.

Ah time is going soooo slow - when you feeling yucky , life goes in slowww motion! Please 12 weeks come quicker- 7+4 today and ah its hard- but I dont mind as long as my small bean is ok - I keep thinking nausea is good for little one cause its hormones to keep it growing- ah insanity is definately creeping up on me I sobbed last night cause I couldnt eat anything without feeling sick and the anti emetic tablets doc gave me is so hard to keep down and only stops the vomit but that sick feeling remains- I know its weird but its comforting to see that I am not alone and that there is others going through the same nausea - I wish for us all to not any nausea any more soon

I've been wearing the sea bands too and they are the only thing that stops the constant feeling of nausea. Might all be in my head but happy to have found something that helps!

9+6

Gah I havr just read on another thread that if your bmi is over 30 you should be taking extra folic acid. I'm 8+4. Wouldnt it be too late now? I am now panicked that I've done something horrible to my baby. Surely the Dr would have told me?

not making it to church today, have made it to the sofa where i am parked with a duvet and now tv box. hubby is off to football in edinburgh. and i start work at 6pm. am sooooooooo tired.

Bighairy I didn't know that either, and the GP didn't tell me to! Gaaaah. I suppose if you eat a sensible diet you will be getting some extra folic acid apart from your vitamins? That's what I'm banking on anyway. I am a broccoli fiend at the moment which is a good source of it.

Thats what I am thinking Peace. I have been munching Aldi breakfast biscuits and theyve got it in. Just thinking back to early pregnancy and hoping my diet was ok. To be fair, I took antibiotics, had two majorly drunk nights out, took migraine meds, smoked, ate a shitload of seafood in very early pregnancy before i found out but I think my diet was ok...

Forgot to mention, had my scan at the Womens last week... keeping this very quiet from work, got in on friday and a lady from a different department collared me and told me that she'd seen me there! Have had to swear her to secrecy.

Haha I know, I was taking co-codamol and possibly Valium (I don't remember when I took it but know it was recent) before I found out! Since I started feeling really ill I've felt more positive that this could be for real.
Out for lunch with my dad but I'm not telling him for a good while yet, so trying my best to be sly. I feel a bit more human sat out in the sunshine, so fingers crossed. He's fairly daft to these sorts of things anyway so he wouldn't suspect without me telling him

A gross post - you have been warned.

So you know when you are sick, its all warm and horrid in your throat as it comes up? Today I experienced what its like to throw up food and water that hasnt had a chance to adjust to body temp. Bloody weird being sick and it being cold!! shudder.

Im also pretty sure I brought up my folic acid tablet as well - should I take another one incase?

Bit paranoid today. I woke up yesterday from a dream that I was bleeding and today my nausea is much less. It's probably nothing, right? Just me being silly...

Ugh, felt so awful last couple of days, feel teary about the the thought of work tomorrow, just wish I felt a bit better. Got a particularly busy week as my colleague is on hols, ARGH.

Try not worry chinese, it was only a dream, make the most of a low nausea day!

I'm having a bad day nausea wise. Instead of just feeling nauseous (previously only been sick in morning then just felt rubbish) been feeling like I'm going to be sick at any minute all day today, except when I have tried to be sick nothing has come up, not even water. I hate wasted days and just feel so pathetic as can barely function. :(

espa I'm with you. Sympathy. Dry retching actually brings relief.

chinese I have these unsettling dreams too. Just dreams, though.

Horrendously nauseous today. Although baked beans are my new saviour!

I didn't enjoy my beans at lunch. Also first day having to force food down. :(

Ps. Not normally such a moaner, just helps seeing as nobody in RL except DH knows just now!

Hello all.

EDD 31 Dec, so a chance I may have to switch to January after dating scan but thought I'd hop on the thread anyway. Absolutely love the idea of a new years eve birth though.

Basic info, I'm 35, this is DC #1. I'm only 6+3 so very tentative at the moment. Not planning on telling a soul until 12wk scan but that might be tricky as we're very close to my Mum.

Joining the thread without yet having read through, we're off on holiday tomorrow to celebrate our 1st year wedding anniversary so I intend to have a good poke through the thread while I'm away.

Looking forward to a healthy, uneventful journey with you all

Hi BigHairy I'm suffering with my migraines too. Spent most of the day in bed yesterday and it only lifted at about 10 this morning! It's still hovering though, I think it may be back later. What a nightmare with the woman from work. I had this last time as my booking appointment was at the childrens' centre at the school my brother worked at and everyone there knew me. I just couldn't keep it a secret.

I went to church this morning after feeling very sick all morning but seemed to be ok once I left the house....... Until I had communion! Nearly vommed everywhere. Obviously my body no longer likes wine. Funny because I was fine last week.

Oh ViviPru was it you who posted the AIBU not to POAS? congratulations and happy anniversary!

Came home from work as feeling really unwell. Tired, heavy and slow. Am totally done in and have done nothing today. I have a uti but stupidly didn't get to the chemist as forgot and when I did remember it was late at night.

I know I should contact NHS 24 but I'm mortified that I didn't fill a basic prescription. I'm stupid. So sat with a side pain from that and feeling sorry for myself. Can't bear an I told you so. Someone smack me on side of my head

Lots of sympathy DrewsWife. Hope it passes soon. I'm gutted to be missing a beautiful bank holiday with a migraine and foul horrible Ms. I was going to go canoeing today but the thought of being on a boat repulses me. Also going to be missing out tomorrow as theres no way I can manage a boat on my own down the Severn plus I'd be feeding the fishes.... Gutted and feel like my life's being stolen. Yes I am happy to be pregnant. No I am not happy to feel like shit constantly. I hope this passes and we all have an amazing second trimester.
