Just discovered I totally hate mayo now!! I LOVE mayo :'(

persepolis123 · 23/08/2014 21:01

I'm so sorry safra. The circumstances are very similar to the mc I had in June. If ever you want to talk feel free to PM me. Take care of yourself Thanks

kitten I have all kinds of food aversions and lots of things I used to love I can't eat anymore. Never had this with DS.

Miffy79 · 23/08/2014 21:32

So sorry safra that's just awful. Hope you are OK.

Was great seeing all the scan photos.. Can't wait till wed for mine.

arob I've been getting muscle twinges when I sneeze or cough too.. I also felt like I pulled a stomach muscle rolling over in bed Confused

junkfoodaddict · 23/08/2014 21:33

I think I have a viral throat infection. Sad I have a rotting, stinking cold which presented itself just as DH's party was finishing and we had all the clearing up to do. Over the counter remedies are shit. Praying that it will go tomorrow and I'll just have to cope with the runny nose, heavy head, watery eyes and the sneezing.
I have been overdoing it today with the hotessing and making buffet food. Hips kill nad getting stretchty pains in my lower abdomen. DH wants to go out tomorrow but I want to comatose myself. Especially as I have outings on Monday and Tuesday. At least DS back in childcare Wednesday through to Friday so I have 3 days to myself.

M27J5M · 23/08/2014 21:59

I never even thought to get him to do it Smile thanks!

Sorry to hear your all going off food, I kinda felt yucky with some foods but totally fine with everything now!

M27J5M · 23/08/2014 22:00

Sorry to hear that junk, hope you feel better soon

m33r · 23/08/2014 22:10

Also having twinges and stretchy / pulled muscle type pains. Phew! Reassured that others are getting them.

Rainbow555 · 23/08/2014 23:10

Yeah I have been getting sharp twinges in the same place frequently, guess it is doing something down there!
Also lots of foods on my avoidance list, the main ones being anything sweet, cakes chocolate etc, most vegetables particularly green beans and broccoli!

Junk, I also think I am getting a cold or something. Had a really sore throat and headaches, but then I also wondered if that was from all the dry retching! Trying to rest today really tired but it's nice and sunny out and seems shame to waste it!

M, you could also just send a donation but not too the challenge!

kittenmamma · 24/08/2014 04:41

I'm 9 and a half weeks and I am still getting period like pains, the ones that make you feel a little sick. It's been getting less the last day or two when my period would have been passed, it was as if my body was going through the motions of having a period when it was supposed to. The doctor didn't seem concerned as long as I'd had no bleeding.
Also, here's one for you all. Anyone able to feel their uterus yet? This is one that fascinates me as i started studying midwifery but had to stop part way through, so I've felt alot of huge uterus' (uter-i? :P) when you can feel which way baby is lying, but I don't know much about it in early pregnancy.

lotsoftoast · 24/08/2014 07:11

kitten another ex st mw here. I can feel mine about an inch above my pubic hair line, but this is baby two for me. It's unlikely you will feel yours till nearer the 12 week mark and even then they can be a wee bit awkward to find till you are bigger.

How's everyone this morning?

Rainbow555 · 24/08/2014 07:40

Well today has all been about...crying!! Mostly had a duvet day as feeling under the weather and spent much of the day crying at tv programs! Secret millionaire, SPCA show, the penguin documentary and just now in the middle of eating tea because I feel so horrid and i couldn't eat anymore and I still have to go to the supermarket :(

So I am all about pathetic here!

How is everyone else doing?

Kitten, I am nota sure what I am feeling for, it feels a bit harder just above my pubic bone but no idea if it always felt like that and I just never knew!

NotAQueef · 24/08/2014 08:26

junk sorry you're feeling rotten, have also woken up with sore throat and coldy. Think I've caught it from DS who was running a temp and has an extremely swollen throat (poor thing only mentioned it yesterday I hadn't noticed).
I've nticed that if I put my hand on bottom of my stomach when I sneeze I can feel what I think is my uterus on the right hand side sort of grapefruit sized and hard in amongst my fleshy stomach
13+1 will be in 2nd trimester soon!

ZebraZeebra · 24/08/2014 08:42

notaqueef you are in the second trimester! The second trimester is from week 13 to the end of week 26. First trimester ends at the end of week 12. Congrats! I can't wait to get out of this bastard first trimester.

Sorry you're feeling so rotten junk I have a list of things we can have remedy wise - you might have the same list but let me know, happy to post it on the thread.

Awww rainbow duvet day sounds exactly like what the doctor ordered!

ZebraZeebra · 24/08/2014 08:43

I'm tired, tired, tired, sick, tired, tired, sick, sick, sick, tired. DS just wants to play and I feel so guilty, we've only been up an hour and I want to lie down already.

m33r · 24/08/2014 09:22

zebra that's rubbish you feel so bad. I feel slightly better again and managed to get things done yesterday (albeit very slowly). What week are you on?

Sure I can feel my uterus but like pp can't remember what if felt like before. I wish I had paid more attention!! Makes me happy to think I'm feeling something though!!

MyPandaisasecretmonster · 24/08/2014 10:59

Brew for all those feeling really crappy

I actually managed a full night sleep for the first time in a month

Rainbow555 · 24/08/2014 11:19

Yay panda good news!
zebra what can we have remedy wise? I think I am defo getting cold sick!

Sorry you are having a rough morning... I can totally sympathise

M27J5M · 24/08/2014 12:18

Morning ladies, hope all is well today Smile

Rainbow I've made a donation already Smile made sure that was the 1st thing I done

kittenmamma · 24/08/2014 14:08

So cool that some of you can feel it! I didn't expect to feel mine yet but I'm glad it's not too far away for me.
I still can't get my head round being pregnant, off I wasn't so bloody tired and puffy I'd swear I wasn't.
Think I'm following you all with the cold here, and Rainbow I'm so jealous of your duvet day today, I've another late shift but off for three days after that!

Pinksun12 · 24/08/2014 15:57

I can't feel anything down there, just wobbly tummy Blush
10 weeks today and feeling quite myself again and have done for the last week or so. I'm so glad that I got a scan after I stopped feeling sick so at least it doesn't mean that anything is necessarily wrong.
Hope you all get over your colds, I had it two weeks ago, wasn't fun on top of feeling sick!

teaandbiscuitsforme · 24/08/2014 17:01

Pink we must be due date buddies, 10 weeks today as well! Although time feels like it's going very slowly...

Feeling a bit better this weekend, hoping the worst is over. Hope you're all ok!

Pinksun12 · 24/08/2014 17:19

When is your next scan teaandbiscuits? Mine is 10.9., still so far away! I agree, the first trimester goes so slowly...

teaandbiscuitsforme · 24/08/2014 17:42

Mine's the 12th. I did have an appointment on the 9th but rearranged it to see if DH could make it. Still not sure he'll be able to so might book another private the weekend before if not! Midwife appointment on Weds. Have you had yours yet?

junkfoodaddict · 24/08/2014 20:20

My scan is 8th September - 10 weeks tomorrow! I can feel my uterus just above my pubic hair line; feels like a hard rock. Boobs are becoming super sensitive again. I also look about 5 months pregnant, lots of erm, discharge Blush etc, etc.
Feeling a lot better today though I woke at 4am feeling awful but due to yesterday's party mood, we didn't all wake until 8:30am and though we have spent the entire day out (Royal Armouries in Leeds then to Wetherby for tea and a stroll), we all feel okay. Sore throat gone - just sniffly and a runny nose which is far less than what DS has got - sneezes, nose gunk and a horrid cough but it isn't stopping him!

Rainbow555 · 24/08/2014 20:42

Junk mine is the 8th too :)
