January 2015 - New Year, New Baby, New Thread! #2

[fancyacupoftea]

Thread #2 for the January droppers.

Here are the stats!

English I'm really being the devil's advocate here again but depending on the regulations where you live, sushi is often ok as the fish has to be frozen below -22" (I think) and is therefore safe as all harmful bacteria has been killed. I'm trysting my paediatrician friend on this one! Just ring any sushi place beforehand to check - but I has some from istu for lunch and it felt naughty/lovely/wrong/nice!

I think if I'd been in the UK I might have checked but I'm in holland and not sure they would have understood my questions so thought it best to just avoid. Wasn't the same though!

I know right - just disappointing!

You are coming back soon enough though, aren't you? Hurray!

Yeah, we move back on Friday! Can't wait!

Hello and welcome brummiegirl !
Found the new thread wowsers we are on page 3 already!!
So after saying I didn't feel pregnant today I did have an afternoon snooze and have been hungrier than the last few weeks. I like eating and sleeping so I think I can deal with this ;)

hi all.
i've been having a rough couple of days, so not really been able to get on to see how everyone is doing.
i had really bad hayfever on sunday, and cos my antihistamines said not to take while pregnant i was kind of stuck with sneezing until i wet myself (how lovely) and then puking. dh was an absolute star though, really looked after me. managed to see my gp and i can take the pills after all!
all i want to do atm is sleep, i have rheumatoid arthrits so i slept a lot before, but this is a whole new level for me. but i can't go on facebook of twitter to whinge about anything because we haven't gone fully public yet.
wow didn't realise how long this post was going to be lol
hope everyone is good
S*

Morning ladies, another early wake up for me, sooooo nervous about my scan but glad it's this morning so not too long now!

Suz sorry to hear you're feeling rough

Have a good Wednesday all xx

J200 - good luck x

suz sorry to hear you're feeling so bad! hope the antihistamines are helping.

j200 good luck! What time is your scan?

Up early here again for a wee, feel sick but no puking as yet, I'm finding a slice of lemon in hot water a good nausea relief, I'm loving anything really sour. I've completely gone off sweet things.

I've got a friend staying over the weekend and she told me last night she wants to go out sat night when we'd arranged just a quiet weekend. I know she'll guess I'm just hoping she doesn't ask me, I really want my mum to be the first to know at 12 weeks so I've added this to my list of worries!

I'm thinking of starting a pregnancy journal now I'm 7 weeks, it's nice to write your thoughts down and thought it would be good to look back for the next one (if I ever get to number 2) anybody else done this?

Haha, ilovelamp! I like eating & sleeping too, so hopefully that's what the next 8 or so months will be mostly filled with.

Ooh, knitting a baby blanket, fancy that's adorable. I once knitted one for a friend & it took me the whole 9 months of her pregnancy to finish it, so I'd better get started if I want to finish one in time for this sprout's arrival!

I've got a hen party this weekend & I have no idea how to handle it. My husband thinks I should just go & pretend to be drunk & having a wild time, but I can't imagine trying to get through all the rowdy activities that are planned while sober , I can't imagine managing to keep up the pretense that I'm drinking all evening, nor can I imagine wanting to party till the early hours when I've been in bed by 9 most nights lately. The bride isn't one of my closest friends, but I'm tempted to call her & explain (& bail). Would that make me a terrible friend, though?

5 weeks today! (I think.) Feeling pretty good so far. Though I may have to give up running sooner than I thought as bloody hell it makes my boobs seriously sore.

saraswati a pregnancy journal sounds a really lovely idea.

I did a journal first time round Saras, I didn't write in it every day, just when something big happened! It's been fab to look back on this time round as I can see that my symptoms didn't start until about week 8, so I'm not so worried to be symptomless again! It's also a good reminder of what happened at each stage & appointment I went through.

On a longer term note, my mum died a few years ago and I would have loved to ask her things about her pregnancy when I was a first-timer. Hopefully I'll still be around when my daughter is going through this, and maybe my journal will be something she can refer to too.

I think the best excuse for not drinking is made up cystitis and antibiotics! Also helps with frequent loo visits! Try it in the hen night!!

I think today my pregnancy journal will be full of expletives about what a dick my DH is!! This morning he was talking about how it's only 2 weekends until he gets his new laptop and he's so excited, that's also the same day as our private scan. I said to him there's also something else that day much more important going on and he'd forgotten, the bastard! I think he wants to forget I'm pregnant until 12 weeks and not talk about it but obviously I've got constant reminders and I can't just switch off my emotions like that. It's times like this I wish I could tell my mum or bf, I need to talk to another woman, men just don't get it at all.

Sorry for the rant ladies!

You could always say you feel really rubbish because you have really bad period pain! I tried that but I think they've guessed anyway. To be fair, I'm struggling to hide it - 6+5 and I look 4-5 months gone! Huge belly! Stupid bloat.

Didn't realise the blanket would take that long! I knew it was long but thought I'd be done by about 12 weeks. Guessing that's v optimistic. Crap.

Aww Saras, you can rant to is! My dh is exactly the same at times :)

Good luck j200 ! All these early scans are even exciting for me! I still have another 5 weeks until I have my 12 week one ... So yours can all keep me going!

Suz- hayfever is a bitch! Glad you feeling better . I have been lucky to not suffer with it in this pregnancy. Though do have realy bad exzema on my hands- I did last pregnancy too.

Morning to everyone else! Have a good day :)

Fancy- I am 7 weeks tomorrow and already look pregnant. This is my second pregnancy so it could be that, or bloat...
Is this your first?

Yay a new thread

at OH who forgot the scan date. I'd have ripped his head off!

Slightly concerned that I seem to be putting on weight for no reason I'm eating really healthily and I'm very conscious of my portion sizes. I've put on 3lbs in 3 days and I don't know how

And my legs... I drive in some oversized (at the calf) boots. In the morning they're far too big. After school, I can barely close them What's happening to me?

Morning Ladies!
So I've woken up feeling sick, but can't work out if it is morning sickness or because I'm hungry. It's that kind of hungry/sick feeling.
Sara's - I'd tell your mum if you need to share. I know it feels like it's tempting fate but IF anything does go wrong you will need some support, trust me. I'm going to wait until 8 weeks and then tell my mum and best friend, my mum was amazing when I miscarried.
Good luck with your scan J200, post a pic when it's up

It's my first keepon so there's really no excuse for this!

I'm feeling really quite sore today, stretchy/crampy feelings in my tummy and feeling rather down and tired, not helped by the fact I didn't have any raunchy dreams last night just nightmares, lol

Ms has kicked in with a vengeance.... Really hoping it's not going to be like last time
I must have looked green this nothing as Dh got Ds bottle ready and made me some breakfast (dry cereal) before going to work even though he was running late! Bless!

J200 good luck

Sorted things out with DH, we haven't booked the scan for that day we just agreed we should wait until that weekend and I think he thought I wasn't dead set on getting one that weekend hence why he hadn't really remembered about that date!

I'm so emotional at the moment it's ridiculous, last night I cried watching a pets at home advert because I love my dogs so much and I was thinking about how I won't be able to give them as much love and attention when I have a baby. Eurgh pregnancy is a minefield!

english I will tell my mum if something goes wrong but she's such a bad secret keeper I can't tell her about the pregnancy until I'm ready to share with the world. She told everyone in our family (including distant cousins) and friends, neighbours within about 3 days of being told about my sister in laws pregnancy, she was only 5 weeks! Luckily everything was fine but I'm not ready for that yet!

linda I've been feeling more crampy and sick if I'm tired which then makes me worry more and makes me feel more tired! Try and get some rest if you can.

Today we are pregnant ladies!!

Saraswati I'm going for a nap with ds 2 today when ds 1 is at nursery, if I don't this mood will never lift

Not surprised you're tired if you've got 2 other DCs, I don't know how you ladies with other kids do it, I can barely manage to walk my dogs!
