Thread number 3

I am feeling more human today. Still have tender boobs and I am weary. Nausea rears it's ugly head now and again and moving about, such as doing the laundry, makes it worse. I hate having it yet I worry when it's not there as FoscarC said earlier. Feeding the cat is proving difficult as cat food makes me want to vomit and though I'm not allowed to change the cat litter, not that I ever have done, I had to put his tray outside. I am not staying in a house of stinky cat poo!

I'm just doing little bits now and again and resting in between. Luckily my 2-year-old is being an angel and entertaining himself mostly. 7+4 today.

TMI Anyone finding their sex drive has gone into over-drive? Mine has been like this for about 10 days now.

junkfood - re the sex drive. Completely. If that's a symptom, it's one I don't mind having!

Take care Crisp

Is it normal for me to constantly feel like I have a stomach bug ? .
This is my first so I really have no clue , Also my senses have gone in to over drive as all strong smells make me heave which isn't much fun & the constant nausea seems to be making itself at home

I spoke too soon, lots of retching this morning. I really think my sickness is related to tiredness, I've been running around all morning whereas yesterday I had a relaxed day as DD was at nursery. I'm only 7 weeks so not expecting symptoms to go yet! Sore boobs and tiredness still there.
And for everyone else I do remember with DD that my symptoms did decrease at 9 ish weeks though.

crisps so sorry. :-(

Just arrived at Heathrow after what was a very emotional taxi ride. It took so much effort and concentration not to vomit all over the taxi. Really bad nausea. I just want to go and sit in the toilets. :-( luckily I only have 12 hour flight ahead of me.

My trusty app told me this might be the worst week for ms. Currently 9 +

OMG. Cafe Nero stem ginger biscuits! Life saver!

Crisps I'm so sorry to hear your news. Hope you get all the support you need.

It's 10:45am and I'm sitting at my desk eating my lunch . Somebody please tell me I'm not not just being fat and greedy!!!

crisps I'm so sorry to hear that. Big hugs

Finally feel human I have energy :-) gave in yesterday and bought some maternity jeans as none of mine fit and larger sizes didn't fit on legs or bum. Still got two weeks to wait for scan could be nearly 12 or nearly 14 weeks when it's done

Why am I still so exhausted all the flipping time?? I am 10+5/6 now and thought the placenta was in action now?
People constantly tell me I look exhausted (but at least they think it's because of a project I'm working on).
Just had to run past 3 colleagues and my manager to be sick ... nice!
manager did suggest I could work from home it it's easier so I might take him up on that tomorrow.
all shaky now.
Have my booking in appointment on Sunday which I am looking forward to - want to get my blood taken and see how my bp is.

Really don't fancy the pasta salad dp made me for lunch - mind you can't think of anything I want to eat now other than mulberries!

I had my first taste on Wednesday as they were growing in the grounds of a wedding I was at. DP's sis is a bit of a forager and she gave me one - OMG nicest berry ever! Shame they are quite hard to find.

Stuck in the rocking chair with a snoring child, more fucking teeth happening :( 4 more molars to come, and then I hope to God that's it. Every single one of his teeth (1st one at 3 months) has causedt blood sweat and tears, he usually gets them in 2 or 4s.

In fact, that's my main advice to anyone doing this for the 1sr time - get a rocking chair!! I got an amazing eBay bargain on a dutaillier glider, worth its weight in gold and unicorn fluff.

Moan over.

Hi all had my first appointment with consultant. My dates are exact and he'll scan at every visit which is great.

He gave me a prescription for Caraban, for 'morning' sickness. I really didnt want to take anything but I can't take much more of feeling like this. I have just taken the first tablet. Anybody else have any experience of this medication?

Duh frazzled brain - I had better not be working tomorrow - let alone from home!

pink you have my sympathies teething is horrid. DS suffered lots with his always getting a couple together. Hope your DS is not in too much pain and that you manage to get some rest

Re above, it's actually 'Cariban'.

((Hugs)) to Crisps

Junkfoodaddict ... yep...I got that symptom two weeks ago or so and it hasn't diminished, at all. My DH is such a happy man (no pun intended)

I have been quietly reading all of your posts. I'm so afraid to be on here
and jinx myself and end up with another MMC.
I had my 10 week scan today and I'm now at 10+5, with a new EDD at March 1st. The heartbeat was 164 bpm and 4 cm in length. The Peach (we're calling it a peach) was doing somersaults and waving and just incredibly amazing. I've been really emotional these last two weeks leading up to this scan today (desperately hoping for a healthy baby) and as the image of our Peach came up on the screen the floodgates opened.

I remain in awe of the miracle of life and that my best friend/DH and I have created this little being. wow ... total awe ...

I hope you all begin feeling better, I really do. I feel that I've been "let off" too easy as I've had minimal ms.

Big ((hugs)) to you all and thanks for letting me share my joy ...

Lovely post mrsa so pleased your scan went well

Lovely post mrsa and so pleased for you. I can imagine how you must have felt and the relief in seeing your peach must have been overwhelming. I have my 12 week scan a week on Wednesday (12 days time to be precise) and I know that once we get to see our little 'nub' (we call it nub - although I'm concerned this means it will come out with little 'nubby' arms and legs), and I am quite sure dh and I will both burst in to tears. It must be just such a relief.

sp1rals did you get a scan too? I'm so pleased. But so jealous! I feel like the only one who hasn't seeny nub yet.

foscar you're not the only one - I haven't either - 12 days and counting here too

Have the worst headache which feels like my brain is too big for the back of my skull. It is hard to keep my head upright ... so just decided to take a paracetamol as I couldn't take it any more.
now wracked with worry that it's harmful

Not, paracetamol is fine occasionally, and if your headache doesn't go, your GP can prescribe CoCodamol, which is very short term, but is again safe in PG. Just avoid aspirin and Ibuprofen.
Hope it goes soon!

I got home from work to find my booking appointment from the hospital waiting for me, as well as my maternity exemption certificate - I guess that means the NHS firmly believe I'm pg so maybe I should start to as well...!

Booking is on 20th August, so not too long to wait in the grand scheme of things. I'll be 9+2 then, and I know that I will come away from that appointment with an appointment for my first scan, so I guess the ball is properly rolling now .

Welcome MrsAmelia - we've slowed right down on the rate of newbies lately so it's nice to be able to welcome another one. Glad everything is going well for you and your peach .

Just to let you all know you should remove me from this group. The bleeding and cramps over last weekend did result in a miscarriage.
I'm feeling alright, just mostly worried about telling my boyfriend when he gets home from work tonight.

Lovely post mrsa. Thanks x

So so sorry mer cross post. Thinking of you x

foscar I still haven't seen our little baby either. We've decided not to go for early scan too. 5th sept is 12 week scan date.

Can I ask have others had lots of discharge? I had a big leak today. Is this normal? Mixture if white and clear.

My newest symptom is I a constantly STARVING!

Another tmi question: anyone nervous about dtd? I'm in the mood but so scared. We have dtd twice (couldn't resist!) but then I was wracked with guilt... Have I lost the plot?
