December 2014, Thread #3

[SassehMonsta]

Just starting a new thread so we have somewhere to go once thread 2 is full (I give it less than a day!!)

Welcome to the never-ending first trimester, and maybe some of us into the second trimester this thread?

I've just sneezed and had a MASSIVE pain in my womb area is that normal? Like a massive stabbing pain. Anyone else had this? Bit worried now

Sneezing has been causing me belly twinges. Don't know if it's normal though

Maybe not sneezing but, Ummm, straining for me caused a poking pain.

Yes it's totally normal IMHO. It's round ligament pain. I get it a lot

I've googled it, and lots of people have said they get it, hopefully that means it's normal! I just don't really get many pains or anything

Well I've retreated to bed after watching falling asleep through the f1 qualifying, I'm absolutely shattered. Can't wait for the 2nd trimester where I'll hopefully have some more energy because this is ridiculous!

Is anyone else worried about their 12 week scan? I'm so scared that something will have gone wrong between 8 weeks and then and I just don't know about it think I'll be a wreck by the time it comes. I never ever thought I'd be this much of a worrier in pregnancy, how naive of me!

Hi all marking my place. Was up at the crack of dawn this morning to see my pt - whoever said that I would feel better after exercise lied - think it was my mum - now feel completely shattered!!

Cooking dinner for 13 of us tonight is going to be fun

I am extremely worried about my next scan somerset. It's not until 13 wks, so still 3+2 away. I've convinced myself that something's gone wrong since the scan I had at 7+4. I know from my mmc last year that my body is rubbish at realising something isn't right and miscarrying naturally.

The alternative is that the reason I'm not feeling as pregnant as I was is that I've just got really used to the sore boobs, bloat, and constant peeing! What will be, will be. I did have a massive cry on MrPres last night though.

Just hopping aboard.

I survived the two hour car journey and am officially on holiday! Yay! Fresh air seems to make me feel more human so we're going for a walk along the seafront now.

I've finally started vomming, but only a tiny amount, almost like fairy sick I've noticed it's whenever I gulp the end of a drink down, it comes back up. Lovely. So sipping only from now on.

I've got my alcohol free wine ready for Eurovision tonight

Bighairy my sister passed on 7th go! Same thing. She could drive fine but nerves always made her go a bit wacko on the day! You'll get there, don't change to auto!

Hi ladies thank you for your replies to my post last night update is after the pink/red blood when wiping after wee that had a bit of spotting overnight and then today I've had brown blood discharge luckily I'm wearing a panty liner to monitor it. Will have to see when the epu call me tomorrow what might happen next. I would like an early scan just to put my mind at rest but my dating scan has come through for the 24th may so 2 weeks away so seems a bit silly if they do offer me an early one but who knows! I just hope the blood/discharge stops!
Has anyone else had brown blood/discharge?
10+3

I'm sorry but I can't remember who posted about not having room for a child/more children. Me and my fiancé live in a 2 bed house with my mum who has ms so no room for a baby/child at all! But we only moved here in July with the view that one day we will do an extension but we decided that we didn't want to wait to have a baby till then. Luckily our room is quite large so enough room for a cot but I suppose it may get harder as they get older but we will have to cross that bridge when we get to it! We are in Kent and the price of houses is crazy! Ideally we need a 3/4 bed and that would cost 300k +!! And they wonder why we all feel do hard up! Sorry I'm moaning...... Lol

Emily we are struggling to save a deposit to buy a house. It's kind of soul destroying after a while :( our parents cannot help us so we're renting, but in Surrey our salaries do not go very far. We're moving to a 2 bed house from a 1 bed flat this month but we had that planned before we knew I was pregnant. We're not from Surrey, but DH's job is here so we can't move anywhere cheaper. Blah!

Hi Peace :) i really feel for you - so many young people are in your situation trying to save hard. good planning re the move - thats lucky :) we were so fortunate that my grandfather decided to give me my inheritance early so that we could put a deposit on a house otherwise i don't think we would have ever managed to save the amount needed! even with 2 people working 2 full time jobs and with me working in london bills and general living, not being extravagant in any way, just seems to take up all monies!! its one of my huge worries when we announce our pregnancy the first thing people are going to say is 'oh but they won't have their own room' etc.. i can hear it now!!!

I know!! My mum keeps going on at me about buying a house. Seriously, if we could then we would. It's not 1984 anymore, it's 2014. Gah.

It's not just young people who find it a struggle. I'm 40 and my husband is 38 and it has been so hard for us to get into a house. Our joint income is pretty good and we are very good with money but with the general cost of living saving for a deposit was so hard. The only way we have done it is by getting a 95% mortgage on a new build miles away from where we were living and where we work. I'm a 200 mile round trip from work and my husband is over 100. It was a big decision but renting was just soul destroying and, at my age, I was afraid that I wouldn't be offered a decent mortgage if I left it any longer. I'm glad we've done it now as we finally feel like we have a home of our own but it has been hard. Unfortunately this is the result of house prices being pushed up to ridiculous levels in the past. I only hope that something is better by the time our little beans are grown up and wanting to leave the nest! Isn't that a weird thought?

Hey ladies. Didnt realise these threads existed - how do I add my stats?

Omama, DS(3.9), EDD 5th December.

Am currently 10+2 & feeling incredibly nervous as I miscarried at 11+1 last year. Keep telling myself I'll feel better once I get past that point but not sure I'll rest easy til I've had my scan at 12+6. I've not had any reassurance scans & am desperate to know everything is ok. Counting down the days!!!

Emily - sadly my mmc started with brown blood but yours sounds different since the brown is following on from pink, so it may well just be the tail end of a small bleed iyswim? I'd def seek reassurance from EPU, 2 weeksis still a long time. Will keep fingers crossed all is ok.

Re space for children - our house technically has 2 beds, one has been divided to make a 3rd bedroom but its accessed through the other & they are both tiny so not ideal, esp if dc2 turns out to be a dd. We're gonna have to extend or move eventually, hoping we can just manage for at least a few years tho!

Hey omama, there is a table somewhere u can put ur stats on, not sure how to find it on my phone but we did have a link on last thread, hopefully someone else is more helpful!

Re bleeding and mmc, it is so scary. I also had a mmc a few years back so always worried and no reassurance scan for, prob a month before I see a heartbeat. Still symptoms a plenty at the mo so that is reassuring. Hope the folk with spotting get good news soon!!

We are lucky to have a small house, helped with deposit by family. Still it is going to be a real squeeze with four kids but we will manage! One day might be able to upsize but doubt any time soon.

sasseh - I have been trying to feel my uterus today but the only bit that feels right is too high up, might be a little soon admittedly.

Right, off to get me boys to bed so I can snuggle in bed to watch Eurovision. Dh working tonight so will just be me some tea and croissants!

8+2

Oh and just got great pic to embarrass ds2 (2) with in front of any future girlfriends. He just came down stairs wearing a pair of my sexier knickers (red) like a mankini!

Haha ace Sarah!!! Even if it's not uterus but other stuff being pushed around, it's still indirectly uterus!!

We had just moved out of a 2 bed flat this time last year, and so glad we found a 3 bed house. All rented as we have very little savings. We're both under 25 though, so not to worried at the moment. Couple of friends have bought their own homes, but one on her father's inheritance when he passed away, and the other with lots of help from their parents for deposits. No chance of us owning for a long time, especially as I'm the one with a degree but a crap job and he's got no formal education (but a much better job!)

Today I spent the day with my mum, visited mama's and papa's and mother care for browsing, and generally hung out for a bit. Now back and still queasy, but dh is after a takeaway (and I just realised I forgot to go to the vets again!!! Poor dog is going to run out of medication if I'm not careful!)

8+5 (eeeeek!)

Sorry! Forgot the stats link!
