Evening!
Welcome new comers and hugs to those still feeling poorly.

Zacc - I'm thinking I might have to tell work next week - I've been off since last Thursday due to half term and feel huge, nothing really hiding my bump. I really wanted to wait til scan and bloods were all done but not got scan til 13+3 by my calculations - I don't see me hiding it another month!

My OH is being great considering he wasn't overly bothered about a second child - he just knew what it means to me. He's shown concern at my sickness and is letting me lie in and encouraging our 5yr old to wrestle him and not me!

Hi to all the newbies! I only started using this site when I got pregnant with DS, the antenatal threads especially are great :)

My DP is fab, especially when im pregnant. He always does his 50/50 and more when it's needed too. DD is waking at 5am every morning since the clock change. I hate clock changes!! Iv been in bed for 8pm and then having a 2hour nap when DS does. I'm exhausted, bring on 2nd trimester for some energy back!

DP got panicked yesterday after we had a long day with family and I didn't get chance to eat. I felt so faint and sick so now he's vowed to keep me fed regularly!

Iv got a bump, it's a lot rounder and starting to move up. It feels to early though, I'm 10 weeks tomorrow an with DS I didn't pop out until 16 weeks. It's getting hard to hide!

Hope those feeling sick feel better soon :) scan tomorrow! Eek.

Thinking of you notsoold xx

Morning all,
Was in bed for 8.30 last night and just catching up on all the chat.
Sorry afew of you are suffering abit and welcome newbies!!
My dh is fab.. Cooks, cleans, does the washing but was surprised last night when i didnt return back downstairs after putting dd to bed.. And instead found us both fast asleep in our bed!

haribo good luck for the scan today

I've told my boss but that's it, as I have to have extra blood tests, scans appointments etc so he needs to know why I'm disappearing so much after the next scan if all is well will prob tell my colleagues as im showing put them out of their misery!

I've woken up to fuller boobs! Yes! Thank you pregnant body! The only perk about being pregnant I feel...!

They are a little tender too. But going to ignore that and put my best push up bra on and my closest fitting top and enjoy the morning! Before I go to work!

6+1 and awaiting vomiting. It's my danger zone. So far still just mild nausea related to needing to eat. Keeping my fingers tightly crossed.

It's pay day so the next couple of days I'm going to be trying to sort out ds's birthday and Christmas stuff in case the HG kicks in soon as I know I won't be able to :(

bub my DP is awesome in some ways, but his thing is (when we're at home) he's very handsy - always grabbing my boobs/bum, squeezing me round the waist and chucking various limbs over me in bed.
So right now at least 5 times a day I leap away from him with a yelp & yell "leave my sore boobs/tender tummy/aching back ALONE!"
It's like he's good at looking after me (bringing me food, letting me slope off to bed while he does washing up etc), but bad at remembering it's because I feel rough!

As this is our third pregnancy/child DH has seen it twice before. He's pretty good. He's a bit frustrated sexually but that's tough tits as the last thing I want to do is get jiggy with it. My boobs hurt and the DC seem to regularly stick their elbows into them or lean on them and it really hurts. On the plus side I no longer look I'm smuggling balls in socks and have proper bouncy boobs again. I think this is why DH is a bit hyper as he keeps mentioning them and I keep mentioning that he can think again!

Last night I stayed awake til 10 and the night before that I passed out on the sofa just before 9pm.

The cat keeps using his litter tray in the middle of the night and oh my nose! The bloody smell. Makes me want to gag.

I'm also grumpy. Think it's the combination of tiredness, feeling sick, DC being on half term and not having my usual get up and go.

When I was working when pregnant with dc2 I remember sneaking boiled sweets into meetings as some of the meetings would go on for 3+ hours. I would be absolutely hanging and on my knees by the end of them.

I'm still suffering from dizziness and the metallic taste in my mouth. I'm also right off coffee and I love coffee. So unfair.

Morning ladies

Welcome to the newbies!

Still just as sick today. No actual vomiting yet though and eating tends to make me feel better.

I’m SO uncomfortable in my work trousers, when I’m sitting down now I’m having to undo the top button. It feels way too early to crack out my maternity trousers, I’m only 5+4 for crying out loud, but I don’t know how much longer I can carry on for. Maybe it’s just bloat and it will go away!

I’m starting to worry now that I’m going to have to tell work before my scan because it’s just going to be obvious.

My DH is another who is mildly disappointed at my wanting to go to bed so early! He understands how tired I am, as much as he can as a bloke, but by the time we sit down to eat its usually 8ish so we don’t have much of an evening together when I want to go to bed at 9! He can talk though, he’s usually asleep on the sofa by 10 anyway!

It’s the tiredness coupled with having a toddler too that is just a totally different ball game for me this time.

We pretty much do 60/40 housework/cooking/childcare, me doing more as I’m only 4 days a week at work, but these next few weeks I think I need him to step up and do 70% just because I’m so exhausted.

Yesterday on my way to bed I remembered I had done a wash and needed to hang it out, I nearly cried! Totally normally reaction of course

I'm scared!
I'm not really feeling symptoms anymore and during my previous pregnancy I was feeling poorly til past 20 weeks. 9+3 today - another 4 weeks til scan.

Eggs try not to panic as not all pregnancies are exactly the same. Is there anyone you can talk to? Have you had any contact with a MW yet?

Eggs I think its normal that symptoms ease off as you head towards 12 weeks.

I think maybe because the placenta takes over from you? It could be that its just happened early for you.

Good luck with your scan Haribo. Glad DP is looking after you.

I my second pregnancy I felt I was showing by 12 weeks. I'm fatter round the middle this time so am sure I'll be showing soon. The early bump is stomach bloating due to you digestive system slowing down apparently. Then the growing uterus takes over. I'm holding off getting my over the bump jeans out of storage ...

Hope the fluctuating symptoms aren't stressing everyone out too much. Just a waiting game from here until scans I think. I'm just tired really, and food is starting to taste funny. I'm between 6 and 7 weeks depending on LMP or ovulation.

I'm concerned about the silence from Notsoold.

Woken up this morning with aching boobs and still just feeling sick, not actually been sick yet luckily. I ve found Mr Kipling's battenburg really stops it, but trying not to eat too much of it. Only thing I am struggling with is tummy cramps. As it's my first, I don't want to over panic and contact the surgery about every little thing, but is anyone else getting stomach cramp type pain a lot.

Elizabeth I'm having tummy cramps - not period type cramps though, more like digestive cramps. Constipation is common in pregnancy.

If you're worried though, do speak to your mw. They should be available for advice even if you haven't had your booking appointment.

Hey all.

Another one here feeling very bloated but I assumed I would be bigger earlier with my second.

I let the doctors know Friday afternoon I was pregnant (after I'd had my private scan) and already in the post today I got my midwife booking in appointment and my 12 week scan date.

Was very surprised at how quick they came through.

Booking in on 6th November and scan on 19th.

Woo Bubalou that's good news, speedy work! Not too long to wait now.

I registered my pregnancy with the docs on monday, I can't remember how quickly the appointments came through last time but doc said if I hadn't got it in 2 weeks to call her.

How is everyone feeling about bounty packs?
I got mine yesterday at booking in and was like 'oh, freebies!' Then did a little google:
www.telegraph.co.uk/women/mother-tongue/10970286/Bounty-Mutiny-victory-for-Mumsnet-sales-reps-should-be-banned-from-NHS-maternity-wards.html
The idea of sales reps on maternity wards sounds awful!! Im now pocketing the inital pregnacare sample and chucking the forms in the bin!

Thanks Bingo and Jackie.

Just called the community MW to ask about the appointment and scan order – she said everything has changed in the last 5 years and they have the appointment first to discuss the NT scan – so then I asked what if my dates are changed on scan and it takes me to past 14+2 and they said they would just do quadrouple test (as I had with DS). The man at the scanning department did say they were very busy, so I don’t think I would be able to get an earlier date now anyway – it got moved 2 days earlier anyway due to work commitments.
I also mentioned lack of real symptoms this time and she just said that all pregnancies are different and had I had any sickness or breast pain? – yes but earlier on, and now I feel pretty much OK. She just said perhaps its coz I’m ‘getting on with it’. With having a 5 year old, I can’t really sit around feeling sorry for myself and dwelling on every little symptom I guess.

Still, 4 weeks is a long time away.....

Well jealous of your speedy scan Bubalou!

thanks for the welcome ladies :)

Excited and pleased that i have finally got my booking in appointment - 11 November (i will be 10weeks+2 then). At least I can countdown to that date now, haetd being in limbo. No sign of scan date but I guess the midwives may book me in for that on 11 November.

Elizabeth both of my previous pregnancies I had cramping and it was implantation.

Had a little chuckle at Mr Kipling battenberg elizabeth that is very specific! I can only eat shop-bought sandwiches at the moment, the thought of one I have made myself turns my stomach!

My DP doesn't mind that I am sick and tired because he is a lazy b***d and as soon as I go to bed he puts the Xbox on...

Jenny I too can only manage a shop bought sandwich. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Haha mrs E I don't feel as weird now!

Hi perpetual student - on the bounty rep issue I think it depends a whole lot on the actual reps. When I had my daughter in 2011 in the countess of chester the bounty rep came round about midday. There wasn't any hard sales at all and they offered a free picture of me, my husband and my daughter, which still sits on the mantle piece. I certainly didn't see any evidence of reps picking up babies or disturbing mums that were obviously tired, distressed or already had company. As with everything it just depends upon the person you end up with. X

Perpetual, I don't have any issue with bounty. When DD was due I was dreading them after reading threads on here but I found them perfectly pleasant, and not pushy at all. I happily gave them my details and I didn't receive any junk at all (I just selected the option to say this - as with anything I give my details to).
