[jazzyjenbo]

Welcome aboard the June 2015 bus... Moving towards 12 week scans

Stats docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/tidWbZTzcxGNRcAB0lGlwkA/htmlview?pli=1

Aw man, Im so hungry I've stumbled into a kebab shop for chips - I know it's gross but the shish kebabs with all the sauce & salad look amazing & Im so desperate to order one! Im sure the meat is all kinds of wrong though, so abstaining...

Pregnancy symptoms seem to be getting worse, have been really tired and sick the past few days I am eating too many sweets to keep the sickness at bay, getting worried about my teeth!

Got my booking appt, it's at 11+6 weeks! Seems ridiculously late to me. Apparently scans are booked separately so that shouldn't be delayed.

jenny glad appt went well

chic congrats and welcome

ots that's crap timing but hopefully you will be moved somewhere bigger and nicer silver linings and all that! hope it's sorted soon and it isn't too stressful for you.

I feel like a bag of crap today, had to come home from work early ..retching alot and General nausea never had any of this with dd so it's all new to me

I don't really feel sick today, not complaining particularly but hopefully it doesn't mean anything. Just starting to get over my cold now, I so need a decent nights sleep!

In less than 48 hours time I'll know if everything is in the right place.

Ots I hope you find somewhere even better very soon.

Oh no smug how annoying about your scan, bet you weren't best pleased!

My sickness hasn't been too bad so I have just been doing everything I used to do back in the dim and distant days of hangovers. You know, when we were allowed wine. chica those beef hula hoops have been a favourite round here too.

First meeting with midwife on Thursday....

Silver I'm having a lot of boiled sweets too oh and opal fruits. Pear drops are doing wonders for having to cope feeling massively sick. Tbh at this moment I don't care if my teeth fall out I just wish this god awful taste would fuck off. I think something died in my mouth

Oh I know what you mean with the horrible taste constantly. I tried to eat spag bol again earlier (went off it a few weeks ago). I kept saying to DH that it tasted off, he assured me it didn't. Then I realised it just tasted like everything tastes at the moment :( only salty things taste normal. I'm raiding the crisp cupboard tonight!

Thanks for the well wishes about the flat. I've cried quite a lot this afternoon. We've been here 7 years, it was our first home together and DS' first home :( . We needed to move anyway tbh as it's too small for a family of 4 (and 5 when DSD is with us), but its our home :(

Wow - I've only been away from this thread for a couple of days and loads has happened. All this talk of crisps is making me a bit peckish...I've got not sickness yet so can't justify a binge, but I might stock up a stash anyway just in case. Can't remember who asked about ages, but I'll be 38 when DC #2 arrives, I was 34 when DD was born.

Ots - that sucks, but at least he told you know rather than a couple of months before the baby was due to arrive. Fingers crossed you find something with no problem.

Hi all, I am a totally newbie to the site. Found out on Saturday I am pregnant with first child, test showing 6 weeks. My Mum passed away last year (my dad 17 years ago), so at the moment only my boyfriend and two close friends know until scans etc. Rough due date of 21st June, which coincidentally would have been my dad's 75th birthday.
Really looking forward to seeing everyone's posts on this thread and feel a bit calmer now I am aware of so many due around same time.

Welcome Elizabeth. We're all in it together

OTS sorry to hear about your housing situation. It's never nice when a big decision like this is forced upon you, but it sounds like it's forced your hand to act sooner rather than later. Your dream home may be just around the corner!

We had fish for tea and I really had to force it down. Maybe I ought to try this crisp diet you're all raving about

Good Evening :)
I'm new to this group! I've been reading the posts recently but the June threads fill up so quickly that it's a bit daunting! I'm due aprox 18th June with my first baby and have the first midwife appointment in Nov 3rd!

Question - so how has everyone else's other halfs been?

I work freelance from home, have my
own business and we have a 6 year old DS. Also DH has a job that holds a senior position which causes him to travel and be away several times a month.

I do all of the childcare, housework, cleaning, shopping, cooking etc.

I had horrendous sickness from weeks 5-8 and now at 8+4 am still quite sick and really exhausted - as most of us are.

No we always settle down and watch TV in the evening together after ds has gone to bed. I am falling asleep before 9pm on the sofa and going off to bed early and he seems so moany about it!

Feel like I can't win. He's half joking but as most of you know with men it's never just a joke.

I need sleep.

Hello ladies

I have been reading this thread for a week or so but would like to get involved if possible! Positive pregnancy test last week and by my calculations I am 5+2 and due 28th June. My calculations may be slightly wrong and I may end up nudging into the July thread!!!

So far feeling ok apart from very nervous as first pregnancy and think I've googled too much! Really nervous and feel like it could be taken away at any moment (been trying since December) so trying to balance my joy with reality of risks at this early stage!

Really lovely to be able to read about other people's experiences at similar stage to me.

Hi elizabeth and vintage congrats and welcome to the thread.

buba my dh has been really good but then again I haven't really felt that bad compared to some of you ladies, and he does all the cooking anyway so that helps. You're perfectly entitled to be exhausted and go to bed early get up late etc unfortunately men just can't understand what it feels like.. I can understand why his jokey but serious comments would start to wear thin very quickly just have a chat and explain at the moment it can't be helped you do all of the above and you are growing a person to boot so he needs to suck it up and deal!

Hello roly congrats and welcome to the thread!

Dh clearly is exceptionally horny as he even tried romance tonight. He's not even slightly romantic except a handful of times. But I've gone off sex like never before. I think he's seeing it as a challenge. I wonder how long I can milk it? I'm such a hard woman! He even got into the most piping hot bath to give me a shoulder massage. God he must be really gagging for it! Poor love I just can't be bothered.

Thanks Jackie.

Welcome to all the newcomers.

I'm lucky with my husband too. In fact since having DD I've realised just how amazing he is (and we'd been together many years before having her). I stay at home (I'm on an official career break) to look after DD but he still does all the cooking and his share of the chores - it is non-stop looking after DD, and he realises that. He took a month off after my c-section and did absolutely everything. When I was really ill yesterday he managed to come home from work to look after DD so I could rest all day.

mrse bless your dh he is trying to woo you into bed!

Bubalou my DH is a bit incredulous about the time I want to go to bed too. He is lovely but I think because it is normally 8pm before we get to sit down together to have a cup of tea, he is a bit gutted I want to go to bed at 9. Yesterday, he came too and I felt really bad because he definitely wasn't tired but today he has some overtime so I am sat in bed on Mumsnet relaxing. After this post plan to sleep.

I am feeling really run down. I think it is the fact that I wake up in the early hours of morning and can't go back to sleep. I was the same with the last pregnancy but did not have a toddler that wakes at 6 so I could grab an extra hour or two in the morning to make up for the middle of the night.

Is anyone else thinking about telling work? I am on a short term contract that will end a couple of months before due date so will be unemployed for my maternity leave and possibly beyond. It feels especially weird as I have been with my employer for a decade but they would not give me a part time job after dd was born and I just don't feel that I want to work full time for a few years if I can avoid it. I think they would need to pay maternity pay even though I will have left if they keep me on as planned so feeling a bit coy about telling them. I think I am getting a bit of a bump though so prob best to get it over with as soon as 12 week scan out of the way!

I think my hormones are ramping up as I am feeling more sick, tired, tender of chest and generally close to tears.

Nothing has tasted right for me either the last couple of weeks. I have been eating more sweet stuff (maybe due to low energy levels) which I need to keep an eye on in terms of GD but I am not craving savoury stuff at all. We had salmon stir fry for dinner which is one of my favourites but tonight it turned my stomach.

DH and I alternate cooking and bedtime so no issues there. I do more general childcare/ organisey stuff but that's because I work p/t. He takes parenting very seriously and tries so hard, I love him all the more for it although I have to remind him to lighten up sometimes

Thanks all.

He hasn't even been bad - he was very nice when I was really ill with it. He's never been particularly great with 'illness' etc and although I look after him when he's ill he has always struggled to sympathise with others.

He's also very get up and go and although I am sort of slim (size 10-12)I haven't been exercising at all the past few weeks or doing as much and do feel like he resents me which may be all in my head.

He's always so lovely and really does treat me like a princess. I just wish he wouldn't ask stupid fucking questions every day like 'why are you so tired'!?!

It's not even like he's not getting any either or anything. I was wide awake at 6am this morning so we had a little bit of early morning 'loving'.

Maybe he's just a bit of a prick

Oh well he's away for 2 days now so I'm going to go to bed at 7pm every night and love it.
