It's no April fool part 2- due April 2015

Part 2 of our bus journey.....

Misty414 I have a similar feeling when I squash my tummy, it's more uncomfortable than painful. I didn't know whether it was my uterus or whether I'm just constipated!

It's a while since I have been on here and I have to confess to not being fully caught up. I am so very sorry for those of you who have had losses. I sincerely hope brighter times lie ahead for you all.

So, last week my nausea really peaked and I felt dreadful. Waking at 2am feeling sick and was massively struggling at work, I nearly told my boss. The last couple of days - zilch. No nausea, not as knackered and not eating everything in sight. Feels like my symptoms have stopped in their tracks. It has me worrying that something is up. With DS I was nauseous from 8-16 weeks. I had my booking in appointment today and mentioned it to the midwife who said as long as not bleeding or cramping then not to worry, but a bit of me is. Anyone else experienced similar?

So sorry to hear about your gran SquattingNeville :( I personally think that at a time of loss people are very happy to hear good news and you won't be taking away from your gran. Make sure you cry as much as you need to don't try and put a brave face on

Ran again today and it was easier, I think I just have to grit my teeth against the ms and know I'll feel better after and my fitness will be ok. I was silly this morning and let myself get too hungry so spent the eat of the day feeling really awful no matter what I tried to eat :(

Sorry missed your post scratchandsniff, I have worse and better days but it never totally goes away, can't be anymore help than that I'm afraid.

Very sorry to hear about your gran, SquattingNeville. Never a good time for these things but that does seem like horrible timing for you and your mum and sister.
I agree with cinnamon though, it's not necessarily a bad time to tell your parents the news. Circle of life and all that

After my doom and gloom earlier (and I really thought I was done) the spotting didn't get any worse and seems to have stopped again! Thank you for the messages, it really is nice to read.
Banana I really hope yours stays under control and everything crossed for your scan x

Good news Hippo, mine seems a bit lighter this afternoon but not getting my hopes up too much. I am feeling sick this pm though which I am weirdly enjoying as it makes me feel like things aren't all bad.

Gah it's back again now.

Don't worry I won't be updating you all with a status from my vag every day

So sorry to hear about your gran squatting. I also think sharing the news that you're expecting would be a positive thing for your family, but I totally get what you mean about stealing the focus from your gran.

Hippo and banana, I hope the spotting clears up soon for you both, try and keep yourselves distracted in the meantime (easier said than done I know)

Nausea arrived a couple of days ago (am 6wks today) but so far is not as bad as last time, am just eating everything in sight to keep it at bay. Was really active in my last pg, at the gym on my due date, but since DD all that's stopped so reckon I'm going to balloon this time.

Will be ditching DD at MILs tomorrow whilst DH and I travel up to Bluewater to go shopping for the day and then spend the night in a country spa hotel. Was looking forward to it until the ms kicked in, now the thought of a 2 hour car journey and trudging round a shopping centre is filling me with dread. Hotel will be nice though.

Think it's funny how all posts to this thread seem to stop by 10pm each night

It's 10.30 pm and I'm still awake, go me! Although I have been in my pj's since 6 pm.

Well, it's 3.12am and insomnia patrol has started their shift!

squatting so sorry for your loss but I think if it were me I'd be delighted to hear some lovely family news at a time of sadness. As PP said, circle of life and all.

Rhianon - you have me panicked! I have not read anything to suggest peppermint tea is bad during early pregnancy?! I drink about 2 cups a day!

banana and hippo FX your spotting stops, feel free to indeed give daily vag updates!

So I have had the worst headache/migraine since 9am yesterday, struggled through my antenatal and thyroid bloods (6 vials total!) and work until I could bear it no longer and came home at 4. Since then it has got worse and I've been vomiting. I haven't taken anything for the pain but although the sickness has stopped and it is a lot better than it was I still have pain, shifted to the base of my skull on one side. Anyone se getting bad headaches?

No sleep over here either! I've been getting terrible migraines too Rusty, just behind my eye. They've actually stopped the past couple of days so I'm hoping it was maybe just stress related and the further on I get the less stressed I'm going to get? Have been taking paracetamol which has helped.

Hope you're back asleep now and that you feel better when you wake up.

May not be but my friend got terrible hormonal migraines when pregnant Rustyzilla. She had been on injections for contraceptive as it kept levels the same but during pregnancy she found them hard to predict and control, maybe worth a visit to the gp?

Hang in there Banana and Hippo - fingers crossed everything is OK.

I'm so sorry, Squatting - as you say, it's very sad but not shocking. I hope your family get to a place where they will be ready for some happy news soon, and good luck with handling the hormones in the meantime.

We had a big curry last night - and for the first time, while DP complained about being over-curried, I felt absolutely fine! Normally it's the other way around ;) I did wake up in the middle of the night and take ages to settle back to sleep, though, so swings and roundabouts.

I'm going to tell my manager this morning. Feeling pretty anxious about this, not so much because of the telling her, (need to, in order to get leave for appointments) but more in case I jinx it

Did some antenatal yoga and a a guided meditation last night - first night of decent sleep in a couple of weeks. Here's the link in case it's of any use to anyone else - www.doyogawithme.com/yoga_classes

I really need to get a grip. The minute I feel OK, and not nauseous I am worried. I didn't have to wee in the night for the first time in weeks, and I had a pretty good night's sleep. That's probably why I'm less nauseous this morning, right?

Yes Jeewizz a lot of people have said that tiredness makes the nausea worse. I'm certainly finding that I'm really tired but I can't sleep. I get up feeling exhausted and very sick with a bad taste in the mouth.
What's this about peppermint tea? It's the only thing I can stomach atm!

I've certainly never heard anything about not drinking herbal teas! Can't for the life of me think why you couldn't drink peppermint!

rusty I've been having horrible headaches, and an unpleasant migraine all weekend, but not the 'rip your eyes out' photophobic type I normally get, have been talking paracetamol for it but given that my body is so used to paracetamol it's done very little. Started to seriously eye up my tramadol stash, but the memory of the lecture I got about drug addicted babies in nicu wards from the pharmacist when I was pregnant with DD just about kept me under control.

My nausea is back, though I think that was mostly due to me forgetting to eat anything other than popcorn and pick'n'mix until 10pm last night when a friend finally dragged me out for a Chinese take out. Also hubby managed to get food poisoning from whatever he bought for his lunch yesterday, got himself breathalised by a police officer who thought he was drunk on the way home! Then came home and loudly vomited for about 10 minutes straight. I am a terrible wife, I had someone come and pick me up and left him at home with DD all night because I am a sympathetic vomiter and i do quite enough vomiting without encouragement, luckily he doesn't seem to be holding too much of a grudge but I suspect that he's going to be less than impressed when I leave to go to a gig tonight :s

I think I am getting a cold feel bunged up and got a sore throat, typical when you can't take anything but parecetomol to try and get rid of it.

I'm off work for 2 weeks so it's lovely having a lie in and doing nothing during the day. We are going to North Wales for a week on Friday so I hope the sun stays shining although not looking forward to the car journey because I felt sick yesterday and we only travelled a few miles.

I've just googled whether you can drink peppermint tea, lots of mixed reports but the main thing is check it is peppermint not spearmint tea so if the tea bags say 'mint' check which mint. Spearmint is a definite NO in pregnancy. Peppermint tea can make heartburn worse and also not advised to have more than 2 cups a day.
Other teas that you can not have are Sage or Parsley tea.

My doppler turns up today! I'm 9 wks and 4 days so might not pick anything up yet, but I will be having a go later.... if I don't pick anything up have promised myself not to freak out as everything points towards everything being okay so far - scan at 8 weeks with a good strong hb, small yolk sac, no bleeding or painful cramps, so fingers crossed everything is still okay in there.

Is anyone still feeling they are coming to terms emotionally with pregnancy (if this is your first one, I guess like me)? We talk about the nausea, physical side but am interested to know how people are dealing emotionally. I feel at times excited, at other times apathetic - I think its hard to really take it seriously when you're body's not got a clear non-bloat bump.

Also I find it really strange to get my head round that something is growing inside me - its amazing, but also freaky, and I admit then when the embryo was doing the whole 'still has a tail thing' I felt a bit grossed out! Its amazing to think we all came from this. I can see how women might also get confused about where they end and their baby starts - its all a bit strange with regards to self-identity.

Hi Ladies,

Can I join you? I've been hovering around and finally think I'm at a stage where I can relax a bit.
I'm 29 (30 next month) Hopefully I'm cooking a sibling for my 3 year old DD. Should be 6+4 if everything is going as it should. Due 25th April.

Been with DH for 11 years and got married in April this year. Since then I've had 2 mc's back to back and a major panic when I started spotting at 4+5 which lasted for 9 days. My HCG has been rising significantly so they aren't too bothered about the spotting. I'm waiting for my last lot of results today so hopefully I'll be getting passed on to the mw and get a scan asap.

Not sure how it happend really but most of the people I work with know but our families don't yet. The ladies I work with some of them have had mc themselves so was easier to talk to them than my mum. She was really weird when I told her about the 1st mc so we didn't bother telling her about the 2nd.

My major symptom is my boobs being sore. I swear their getting bigger but I had DH have a feel last night and he just thinks they might be a bit heavier but definately the same size. But he is a man so not very observant.

So thats me and hopefully I'll be around for the long haul.

Hi everyone, can I join?

I am 6 weeks today, due 28th April with baby no 2.

My other half is 31 and I'm 32, we live in Lancashire.

I had an ectopic in March this year, so I'm really hoping this pregnancy goes well

Xx

Oh forgot to say been with my fiancée for 6 1/2 years.

Also, is anyone else really constipated? I don't remember getting that this early with DD1 (sorry TMI)

Welcome and congrats to the new joiners!

lavender I managed to get about 4 hours total broken sleep last night. FX for no more of these for us! Worst of the headache has gone but I've been left feeling sick and 'heady', so at home today. Work is very full on at the mo so could have done without this but also think it was probably work that caused the headache/migraine in the first place!

Had everyone who takes paracetamol checked with their GP/MW first? NHS website put me off taking it without speaking to someone first.

Re peppermint tea, I defo have that rather than spearmint and it is caffeine free and not mentioned on NHS website so am perturbed that there are other sites that say not to have it?! Why? So many things to drive us mad with worry during pregnancy!
