[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 :)

Great news camsie !

Great news camsie

So I may have just left the health centre in tears as the blood test lady was really horrible to me as I didn't have a form (apparently mw should have given me one) crazy hormones

You are all so good not telling anyone, I am awful at keeping secrets and as I was so ill wanted to tell my team at work so they would understand, everyone had been so supportive and to be honest if something does go wrong no one is going to judge but should be supportive anyway. I will not be sharing scan pics on fb either, may just do something subtle like change my background to a baby on board sign...

Camsie great news!! J200 that's horrible, sorry to hear that.

I popped my vomit cherry this morning over my toothbrush and then burst into tears because DH said I looked haggard. Not my day today. Bring on two weeks teaching Italian kids english abroad, this is going to be fun! Oh the sarcasm... :(

J200, everyone knows, it's the only way I cam cope. Don't worry about it, what happens happens and telling people won't change that. It's your choice.

Hello ladies!

Thread 4, bloody hell. I've clearly missed LOADS while away.

Camsie, hurrah! What great news!

I'm sure I should have more to say but I am knackered. Had my first day back at work yesterday, and it was a long one, and today I can barely get off the couch. It's only midday and I think I already need a nap.

I feel so behind - because of being away I've not had my first mw appointment or anything yet. Gotta get on with arranging that stuff this week. I don't want to miss my window for the first scan.

Re FB, I'm not putting scan pics there, but I totally texted some to a few close friends, and I'm not ashamed.

9w today.

Hello all

Great news Camsie!

1 week today to my scan. A week suddenly feels like a very long time, and I'm suddenly very nervous about it!

As I live abroad I think I will mention my news (fingers crossed) on fb, but with phone calls and emails first to people I want to tell individually. Definitely no scan pictures though.

Is anybody, in particular first timers like me and dp, planning to give a card/gift to dp/dh for fathers day? Is it tempting fate?

I can't keep up with all the chat!! I tend to read it most nights when doing Ds night feeds but am always only half awake so don't reply!
I agree with everyone feeling shattered, Ds was up every 90 mins last night as his reflux is really playing up (think he may have a little virus that's effecting it) and I am walking around like a complete zombie. I ache so much, I just want to curl under the duvet and not come out until I feel more awake but I have baby club to go to. Poor Dh at work, although he doesn't have the exhaustion of pregnancy, but he is so so good and looks after me so well. I feel like a very lucky woman to have him and his mini me (Ds who looks the spit of him) in my life :)

J200 that's horrible. Is it worth complaining? Do something lovely this afternoon to make yourself feel better.

I'm going to ask my friends to keep my news off facebook when I tell them. I'm going to have to tell my bosses and clients really carefully so need to keep it on the down low. I'm also not planning to post lots of pics of the bean on social media, I feel that we don't know the long term impact for them later in life, so want to protect their anonymity as much as possible. I think I'll just have a private Instagram for my family, lots of whom are in Australia, and friends

mslad you have the same scan day as me! Starting to get anxious. I was going to get DH a present for Father's Day but I'm worried about tempting fate so I think I'll get him a card from the baby and our dogs!! I doubt he even realises it's Father's Day so I hope he'll be touched. It'll be nice to celebrate it in the future as he has no contact with his dad and mine died when I was little so it's not a day either of us ever acknowledge. It'll be nice to make it a happy day! He brought me home flowers last night for no reason, I think he's starting to realise how difficult I'm finding this whole pregnancy thing!

aw that's sweet of him Sara I think you should get him a card - it will be a special day for you both, espeically as you don't usually acknowledge it.

What time is your scan at? I actually have my second midwife appointment the day before. I've no idea what to expect from that appointment, but they will listen for the heartbeat, so I have two appointments to be nervous for!

Im 10w+4. Horribly sick. I have a terrible cold going round and cant stop beimg sick. I had an early scan at 6+6 and all was well. My 12 week one is on the 24th June! I am so excited!

24th June scan for me too, let's hope it's a great day all round

Hi all,

I'm hoping for some advice please. Not told many people yet so don't know who else to ask and you all seem so helpful.

Last week (when I was exactly 8 weeks) I had stomach ache for about 3 days. It wasn't bad enough to go to the doctor, but I had to take paracetamol. The pain went and I had no bleeding so I thought everything was OK. But a friend thinks I should get it checked out. I tried at my local EPU but they had no appointments, and the drop in place will mean taking even more time off work (I've already had quite a bit already, with an early scan already plus not feeling well). My other half thinks it's fine and to wait until the 12 week scan. What do you guys think?

I just don't know if it's something to worry about .

miss if you are concerned then go to EPU. They are lovely and helpful and will check everything is ok. The fact you had no bleeding is a good sign - have you spoken to the GP first?

No I didn't speak to the GP, had only been there the previous week with my first scare, and I didn't want to be one of those paranoid people! Plus it's just more time off work. The week before I had a bleed and they sent me to the EPU and they were fantastic, had a scan and saw everything was fine, even saw the heartbeat which was amazing. I'm almost in denial that something could be wrong now, even though I know I shouldn't get my hopes up. I'm new at this and just don't know how to tell what's normal and what's not.....don't seem to have developed that instinct.

Missdonsol having been to EPU this morning, I would definitely recommend going. They were so kind and lovely, had a scan and was reassured that everything was ok. Don't sit and panic xx

Thanks camsie. Really glad you had a good scan this morning.

I'll try to sneak off work tomorrow and go for the reassurance. I had no idea how nerve-wracking this was going to be. Thanks for your help.x

mslad mine is at 8am, so glad I got the first appointment so there's no anxious wait (well apart from the anxiety of the last 8 weeks!) When is yours? Have you had any scans yet? I had one at 9+4 but it feels ages ago now. That's good you have another midwife appointment too, I don't get one until 16 weeks next. I'm going to go and shop for a card for DH after work, I hope I don't cry in the shop!

Good luck tomorrow missdonsol

I was having a look for Father's Day cards, but I couldn't find any that seemed right for the situation. I'm also worried it might be a bit too early, I think I'd definitely do it if I was a bit further along. Our cats usually get him one , so maybe we'll just stick with that for now!

Hello I have been really busy so not posted since my scan last week but I have been keeping up to date with you all.

Still feeling really nauseous. Was actually sick in the kitchen sink on my way out the door to take DS to school yesterday. I got no sympathy whatsoever. 'Urgh mum stop it your making me feel sick' and 'don't be sick on my school bag will you!'. 8 year old boys for you!

J200.. I have told quite a few people, my mum, sister, a few friends and my entire workforce. I never told a soul when I was pregnant with my ectopic and it was the most lonely time. And a big shock for work when I was then off for 4 weeks following surgery! This time I figured I'd tell them if I had a miscarriage so why not now.

I'm working 3 night shifts starting tonight. I'm dreading it in case I'm sick or something. Also I've got my first midwife appointment Thursday so will have to get up and go to that.

8+2

Ryslady, that's boys for you. My DS (2yr) thinks its hilarious when I'm throwing up or retching!

So the list of foods I can't stand is growing by the day: pizza, bolognese, sausages, fish, ham, meatballs, coffee, tea, chocolate. My options for dinner are dwindling. Urgh, feel rubbish today.

Saw this and thought of all you teachers on here :-)
