[fraggle84]

ive just got my bfp!!!!

from dates im due 1st feb

Has anyone got weird pre-nausea feeling?

I can only liken it to knowing you've drank too much booze & know you're not going to be sick but feel yack?

Really interesting about risk assessment - I work ten hour shifts with lots of walking & standing, god only knows what they're going to do with me when I'm too big to do safety checks squeezing about or run around the place?! Xx

I was thinking of paying privately for a viability scan. Does anyone have any experience of the fetal medicine centre or can recommend another in London?

Yes Bellaboo, I had that feeling yday, so much so when people asked me at work was I alright, I had to pretend that I was really hungover. Don't know what my excuse will be today!! Although it worked in my favour last night, my 'fake hangover' gave me a good excuse not to drink on our staff night out last night! Jeepers, 6 + 1 and already forming web of lies!

Hope you're feeling better today!

Blank I think I'm 6-1ish too!

I'm praying it doesn't get worse, I can't leave my post to use the bathroom without cover & there's not always staff around. It would be obvious immediately. X

bella I had that REALLY badly a couple of weeks ago, my midwife recommended I start taking Vitamin B6 and it's really helped. I find my nausea doesn't make an appearance until well into the day and thus far (touch wood) it's only been really unpleasant a handful of times.

Decided to stop fretting over my reassurance scan and the confusion over numbers and dates and just go by my LMP. I can get a proper number at my dating scan in August. Therefore I'm 7+5 today :D

Memphis I'm glad I'm not the only one who looks pregnant already my friends think it's hilarious and are all guessing how big I'm going to get! How many weeks are you?

Geeky sounds like you've got a great job and boss! Do you work on a farm?

I've taken the day off today, have had an awful cold and this morning it's gone to my chest and throat! Feel pants! I went to my drs to see what I could take ... Not much! I need to eat better as the baby is taking my goodness, it can have it if it needs it as long as I can sleep!

Hi all, I had a follow up scan yesterday and the baby measured 8+5 and we saw the heartbeat ?? have got my booking in app with midwife next week and scan on 23rd July so will be 12+5
I know I probably sound silly but does anyone know if now I have seen the heartbeat and everything looks good what the chances of miscarriage go down to? I am generally a very anxious person so thought some statistics may help put my mind at rest x

Hi All,

I had a scan today too, tiny little heartbeat seen, just the one

7 weeks tomorrow!

Can't scroll back and name check, hope the scan at the ACU went well today x

Jdr1234, I saw something the other day, off the top of my head it's something like 98% at 8 weeks, 99% at 12 weeks...ish

Littlemiss I am around 10 weeks, I went to a soft play today and saw 2 women from village I know to say hello to but they aren't friends, real gossips and my friend said they were both staring at my bump and whispering while I ordered food, I went big by 10 weeks last time (but not this big) and to be fair it didnt grow anymore for abother 10 weeks it just got firmer, non of my old trousers fit now.

Jdr I cannot remember the % but once a heartbeat can be seen the % goes right down on amounts of misscarriages, try and stay positive, it is so hard not to worry.

Today I haven't napped, I am shattered now but ok every other day I would be needing to pull over in car for a snooze.... Mnybe I am finally coming out of this desperste tiredness?
Rang scan clinic today as the scan letter says 2 adults only and we really want to take ds and they said yes he can go but if he is needed to be taken out he has to go, think they were politely saying if he is a disruptive monster don't bring him! Luckily he is a lovely quiet child so he should be good.

Hi all. Haven't commented since I found out. Just feeling crummy and tired and need to say it since I have no one else to whine too. I'm 7+5 today and feel like this is dragging. Really thinking I may tell family after my scan next week. My mom lives just down the street so this is getting difficult. Plus I already feel huge! And have gained 3 lbs I think. I don't remember feeling this big till at least 12 weeks last time. So of course I'm thinking twins?? Haha

frenetic, blank, and bella - the hangover description is so apt in my case too. Luckily it's been mild the last few days e.g. feels like I drank most of a bottle of wine the night before. However I've had quite a few days where I've felt like I drank 2+ bottles of wine the night before with a few chasers for good measure. Touch wood it stays on the mild side this time, I'll be 8 weeks tomorrow and it started at 5 weeks. Fingers crossed, prayers and candles on the altar etc..

Littlemiss - I work in a 26 acre garden so horticultural rather than agricultural but we do happen to have sheep that graze a meadow, we don't actually look after them, just occasionally move electric fencing to keep them in certain areas or chase them when the blighters get out!

Hoping everyone has a great weekend!

Lydiejo please keep coming back even if it is to moan, better to get it out than bottle it up. My friend is 27 weeks and the same size and weight as she was at full term with her first, her mw told her that the muscles remember how they were are change a lot earlier...this is my only logic on my belly, the baby is only a few centimeters in length yet my belly is big already, I have hardly eaten so it isn't me gorging.

Thanks Memphis I guess I'm just feeling fat and being silly. I worked hard to lose the 40 lbs from last pregnancy so now it's sad to see my work disappear so quickly. I am really looking forward to seeing my two babies interact though!

Me too, I am so excited for ds to see the scan and then finally meet his sibling, I always thought I only wanted on baby then as ds got older the way he adores babies and smaller kids made me change my mind! Regardless of gender he will have it in Spiderman, Batman and Superman babygrows though

Had my scan at ACU today. Saw teeny tiny heartbeat flicker so feeling very happy. They weighed me at the clinic and I've already gained 3 kilos! Feeling fat and bloated but not looking pregnant is annoying.

Hello everyone,

Im having a weekend away on my tod and have had a lovely dinner and now sitting watching a terrible film in my hotel room, missing the boys but also enjoying a bit of time to myself

I've got that bleurghy hung over feeling and I'm looking decidedly pregnant too so maybe it's a second and subsequent pregnancy thing? I went into maternity stuff weeks ago, but partially cos I had them already so it was easy to pull them out of the loft.

Just think guys soon we will be in our second trimester and start blooming away

Jack - that's what is getting me through at the moment. My phobia is up and down at the moment, I know I can cope with MS, but then I have a giant wave of nausea and I get really upset at the thought that this might get worse.

I had a really helpful chat with my midwife today, I explained that a reassurance scan measured me at 5/6 weeks, but by LMP, I should be 8 weeks Sunday - mentally I felt closer to the part of pregnancy where I can start enjoying it. She said it's perfectly ok to go by my LMP dates, a dating scan is the real teller anyway.

I do keep looking for stories of people who have had minimal MS though, hoping I will be lucky!

Frenetic I've had this bleurghy feeling in my first pregnancy too and both times so far I've not actually been sick, so out of a test group of one you are a hundred percent not going to be sick

Sneaking in, though i've been lurking for a bit. We found out by chance on Father's Day (ironically i was due to see gynae the next day over irregular/previously absent periods, and i thought i'd better do a test - never expecting it would be positive!)

I'm due 2 Feb, so am 8+4 and i've booked a private scan for next week, as i'm terrified, especially of MMC (i already struggle with anxiety and depression, have other health conditions, and was on a lot of meds when i conceived), and i'm high-risk for a multitude of reasons). I can't "hang on" till my 12 week scan, or i'll lose the plot. This will be DC2, but DS is 7, so i feel like a first-timer all over again - also first baby with my DP.

I've got my booking appt on Monday, and we're really struggling not to tell too many people until after the 12 week scan - so far we've told close family and a few close friends.

I can't believe how exhausted i am. Not been sick, but the nausea has really kicked in at first i thought i was imagining it, as i hadn't felt sick until i tested, but thinking back i've gone off most foods over the past several weeks!

Aww lots of heartbeats congrats!

Today was awful...my cereal took half an hour to eat, I've lost about 5lbs in total & nausea was rubbish, had three slices of toast in an 1h30 :-(

Most upset too about crumbs in the bed!

8w on Sunday by LMP & 6w1 going by epu scan weeks ago. I've got b6 in my sanogen mum to be tablets, I'm getting biccys out, do polos work too? Xx

Jack, I could kiss you ;)

bella - anything peppermint is good. Polos and tic tacs are always in my bag!

I also got this scented stick thing from amazon with peppermint, lavender and ginger. It's really helpful!

I now have a somewhat worrying obsession with mini babybel lol. Someone told me lots of little high protein snacks and things like nuts and cheese would help with the nausea. So far so good and yes, also am never to be seen without a pack of polos!

cactusnic - I'm another with anxiety and depression in the ol' history. Please feel free to PM me :)

Cactusnic I am another one with anxiety and previous of depression. I was taking 36 tablets a day until I found out I was pg 32 of them I had to come off as soon as I found out.
