Morning sickness go away but don't come again another day.... Let's start glowing for all the right reasons! Jan 2015 thread 4...

[Dec2013mummy]

Morning sickness.... What a lie! Here come a load more unwanted pregnancy symptoms... Oh but it will all be worth it for our new year bundles :)

We've got two cats Cheshire but I haven't noticed any change so far (still loudly demanding food and snuggles whenever they are not fast asleep). I just have to be careful that the more demonstrative cat in particular doesn't accidentally put his paws on my boobs when he climbs onto my shoulder for a cuddle! Ow!

Bit worried about jealously when (fx) the bean arrives though. They are definitely used to being the centre of attention. One in particular can be very insistent about snuggles when he's in the mood and wouldn't understand that he couldn't snuggle the baby too. I guess we'll just have to be very careful. Has anyone else had experience of cats adjusting to a new baby?

My scan appointment came through yesterday- 15th July!! A whole month of worry to go (& then hopefully a lifetime?)

sunshine we are lucky I think in that normally they aren't bothered about cuddles.. Not lap cats AT ALL! We've said we will make an extra effort to play with them every day so they adjust to baby. Easy in theory I'm sure!

chesire lovely! Sady, my cat turned on us when I feel pregnant the last time and rally shunned our babies belongings we had bought in advance. He pissed in her pram and in her room and on er clothes and wouldt come near me. Poor old sod had to be rehomed. I felt bad, but the baby was much more of a concern to be honest. I love animals, but since having dd I am more wary of them and certainly do not like dogs of any kind around her unless I am there, I recognise this is something I need to chill out about. I think the media hasn't helped, what with its constant stories of pitbulls et al mauling newborns ...

Cheshire we have two cats and a dog. One of the cats practically lives outside and only comes home once a week! The other is an old lady who sleeps most of her time away upstairs but likes a cuddle of an evening. The dog is more of a concern as he is a spaniel and needs a lot of attention - he is currently centre of our world! He has a brilliant temperament though, definitely a people dog, so not worried about aggression or anything (though obviously I wouldn't leave him alone with the baby) but I worry he won't get the attention he deserves or his behaviour will suffer with the upheaval of it all as he's still a young dog. DH thinks that he has been more gentle with me since I got pg vut not sure I've noticed!!

cheshire my cat who usually hates me suddenly won't leave me alone! I also have two dogs who are clingy as usual though (They are my babies) :)

Scan in t minus 2 sleeps, anxious doesn't even cover it!! Boobs aren't sore anymore, that eased about 10 weeks for me j200. I had an awful sickness day yesterday was at my friends for the football and was trying to quietly puke in their bathroom. No one was drinking much so I hid it well and didn't get asked any questions luckily. 11+5 today, so close to my scan, really really hope I don't fall at the final hurdle (even though I know I have a lot more of the pregnancy to go!!)

Got DH a card and some World Cup stuff for Father's Day, he was very touched even though we didn't want to make a fuss as we are still pre-12 weeks. Did anyone else on their first DC do anything?

My dog is not braving any differently yet, but I'm worried that I might not love the baby as much as I love him!! He's my baby! Sad I know but I've had him for seven years and he's my shadow, comes everywhere with me, including to work everyday on the tube. Not sure how that's going to work as the next months go by! I'm also worried that he'll be very jealous, so need to work in that to prepare him. I'm hoping that he'll become like Nana from Peter Pan!!

I debated it in the card shop Saras but couldn't decide if it was too jinxy!! Wish I had now...

So sorry to hear all the sad news on here.

I have four cats, and had a big hormonal cry to my DP last week about them not feeling loved anymore after we have the baby. I am a true crazy cat lady and I have realised they have trained me to play with them on command! Any tips on keeping them happy would be gratefully received.

I haven't been sick for two whole days and I feel human again. I am at the mercy of my hormones though. I cried my eyes out at the end of Orange Is the New Black and cried again every time I thought about it. I'm usually really calm and polite, but have been suffering from rage too! I usually love dealing with customers at work but I hate most of them this week, and I've had to work hard to make sure I'm not being really sharp with people.

Been posting on my iPhone noticed my last post half the words are missing?? Odd. Heading up to Aberdeen to see hubby off he starts new job tomorrow, a very emotional day for us all, we have never been apart for 22 years going to be a hard week I feel

rpopz I am so worried about jinxing too. I managed to get quite a plain dad to be card, nothing 'from the bump' (boak) and just some chocolates and World Cup stickers and stuff. I buy him stickers most weeks anyway (even though he's 35!!) so I thought it wasn't too much fuss. He didn't even know it was Father's Day (he doesn't see his and mine is dead) so I don't think he would have noticed if I didn't mark it.

gingy hope you are ok seeing off DH, have a good cry and some

camsie my dogs are 7 too, never had any competition for my love. One of them in particular is my little baby and he gets nervous of noise and jumpy children. Not that I think he would snap at the baby but it's going to be a big adjustment. I'm going to read up in the next few weeks and start early to get them prepared but I'm so worried about him!

katniss our cats have a play cube, a cat it senses circuit, toys to chase and a huge cat tree to keep them occupied. We also set aside 30mins a day to play with a teaser/laser pen before bed time to tire them out... Hope we can keep that up!

Foxtrot so sorry to hear your news. Best of luck to you. xx

Gingy so glad things have settled down. How long will you & you husband be apart? That's such a tough situation - I lived apart from mine for ages & though we were OK, I still wouldn't wish it on anyone as a long term thing. Hope you have a good day with him today & I really hope your EPU pull their fingers out & see you tomorrow.

Cheshire my cat has become super-cuddly and will hardly leave my side. It's very cute but I bet she'll be well jealous when the baby arrives. She's absolutely been our surrogate baby for years now.

Saras I didn't get him a card, but made him a really special breakfast. Felt nice to mark the day somehow, and he's been so cute and excited about things lately, that I felt I should.

Oof, I've been really hit by a truck of exhaustion this week. Have already spent much of the weekend in bed, and I think I might just do more of the same today! I'd am really looking forward to that 2nd trimester energy boost and glow, my word.

I'm mid a disappearing symptoms panic.I bled for the first 9 weeks with this pregnancy but then I bled for the first 12 weeks with my DS. The only positive thing they had to say at the EPU at both scans this time (other than all was ok on the scan) is that if this is the same as with DS then I might just be one of those women who bleed for the first 3 months and then it's all ok. The day after my last visit to EPU (9 +2 ) I stopped bleeding and haven't really felt pregnant since my breasts even feel like they have got slightly smaller. I'm 11 weeks today and although I'm tired all the time really thats it. I mentioned the lack of symptoms to the midwife at the booking in appointment and she said I shouldn't complain and to enjoy it. I'm fighting the urge to just take a pregnancy test every day to put my mind at rest (stupid I know). Still don't have a date for 12 week scan and have a feeling it's going to take weeks. They won't even process the appointment for the scan until I go to have my bloods taken on Tuesday morning!

Hello all, happy Father's Day to all dp\dh. My Ds (or I rather) got Dh a heat revealing mug that has loads of photos of Ds on. Dh looked at it and said oh... What's this? Oh thanks... I then poured his coffee in and he realised it wasn't just a black mug!! Funny :) well Ds was only up 6 times last night so it seems to be getting better, his cough sounds so awful though poor thing. I can finally be in the light without being sick again, think it must have been a migrane mixed with sinuses. Still feeling quite rubbish though. I have to agree with all about lack of symptoms. I was so ill throughoigh with Ds and this time it seems to have eased already, although it may be I'm too ill to tell!! Hope everyone has a lovely day :)

Morning all, so sorry to hear all the sad stories and worries

My mum felt bad she couldn't come to my 12wk scan on Thursday so paid for a private one today. I was so scared but all went well little bean was wriggling around. 11+1 today

To all those who's symptoms are disappearing think it's normal around this stage.

Rum my dh will be away mon- fri . Hes lodging with a friend to start with then we need to decide if we are all moving or if he's going to buy/ rent a flat

I'm pretty sure that my symptons are easing a little bit. I'm 10+3 today and am still very tired with sore boobs, but my aversions to certain foods are definitely easing off. I actually ate a hard boiled egg yesterday and could look at DW's cup of tea and think that I might actually fancy one myself one day, rather than it looking like the most horrible thing in the world! Even her beer last night was starting to a look a little bit more appealing. I still don't want anything creamy though and I'm eating Walkers ready salted crisps like they are manna from heaven.

Gingy I meant to say as well good luck with your DH and his new job. DW and I did long distance some years ago and it is no fun at the best of times. FX you come up with a good solution soon that works for you all as a family.

I know that a lot of people see their symptoms easing from weeks 10/11/12 onwards but I'm only at week 8, which is why I am so worried.

Mighty can you have a private scan if you're really worried? I had mine with babybond (lots of clinics all over) phoned in the morning and went in the afternoon- £99 but really thorough, heard heartbeat too

looking congrats :) nice to hear some happy news :)

Congrats looking!!! Excellent news!

Woohoo looking let's hope you are starting the run of good news scans x
