[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?

cheesecake your GP sounds very understanding and reassuring. I hope you don't get any more bleeding but regardless don't hesitate to ask for the referral if you think you need it. Like Debbie said both of my MCs were very obvious. The bleeding just got heavier and heavier very quickly and the cramping was strong. Sending you luck!

Help I think I'm getting a chest infection. What do I do? Apparently I need to see my doc but I know he won't give me anything as it is! Ahhhhh panic mode setting in!

Well 8 weeks tomorrow and I'll be going for my second scan. I so hope everything's ok.
Had a lot of discharge the past few days.

Definitely go to the doctor ladylel and see what they say :)

That sounds great sasseh, can I work from home? :p

Just three more hours to get through. I can do this!

My craving today - fruitcake!! Like Christmas cake with marzipan and icing lol save to say I can't get it anywhere near work which is making me angry lol

11 weeks tomorrow!! Blimey o Riley!! And then will be 10 days till first scan! Almost single figures! I'm so sure we are going to get there, there will be nothing 'there' and that my periods have stopped because I have a terrible illness!!! Lol

Also getting/got a cold sniff sniff head feels even more like cotton wool then just preggy brain!

I'm freaking about the scan too emily i'm just convinced there will be a blank screen. And yet i think I can feel a baby moving in there. Roll on scan...9 days to go!

We're getting DS to break the news because I'm a chicken with a T-shirt that says "I've got a little secret" on the front and "I'm going to be a big brother!" on the back. No way anyone will dare say anything negative to an excited and adorable 3yo, right?

Not sure if I've put this before on here, but our idea to let people know is a picture of a note with the dog saying "My mum and dad are getting me a human for Christmas!"

Most of our friends like dogs anyway, so it should go down well :)

poly have you got a link to the T Shirt. i thought about doing the same with my DD but havent found a t shirt i like.....

I'll get DH to send me a link when he gets home and I'll post it Punky. You can pick the colour of the shirt and the text.

I like your idea Sasseh. I could post a pic of my cats with the scan pic "not again!"

Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Haven't had any more bleeding and the pains have dulled a bit so keeping everything crossed. And on the plus side, all being well at least we'll get to see baby. :)

We thought about announcing it by writing Im going to be a big brother on DS' blackboard, sticking the scan photo on it and taking a photo of DS posing next to it. Cheesy, yes, but cute too :-)

That's great ots :)

I am craving lucozade. Aaaaaargh!

Oh, I didn't make it :( I cried in the post office and I cried on the phone to Royal Mail. I'm off on an overnight course for work tomorrow and Thursday so I'm really dreading that. I forgot to take my meds before work so I'm sure this tearfulness is just psychosomatic because I know I didn't take them. I'm a bit gutted because I've wanted to be pregnant for so long, and now that I am, it's fucking horrible :(

So sorry for the double post!

Peace. I just have to keep telling myself "I am happy though ,really!" Because I just feel plain terrible. Not long till this stinking, stressful trimester is over!

Thank you Poly

Pains again here, just in the last half hour (had them two weeks ago). I am at least booked into the EPU first thing, booked from two weeks ago as I'm only 7 weeks tomorrow. Was feeling quite positive because of my strong symptoms but this can't be good surely : (

Oh peace (((hug))) it is horrible at the moment. And it can be really hard work. But it doesn't go on forever. It will get better

Agreed, repeating that I'm happy has become my mantra this week. That and it will ask be ok in the end. Foul first trimester!

Managed a few more mouthfuls of last night's rice with sweetcorn and peas. Forgot to add onion at the start so not as good as usual, but certainly edible.

Bless you peace these hormones are awful aren't they? Broke down in tears driving to work this morning on the phone to my mum.

9+1

I also keep having to reassure both myself and dh. "I really am happy to be pregnant, honest...it may not seem it through the sobbing, the retching and the rage...but I am!"
