What a horrible dream, Phryn. My dreams have gone slightly more crazy than normal with the occasional nightmare thrown in - I'm not a fan!

DP and I have just gone public on Facebook, it's funny to be so open about it after hiding our little secret for 2 months.

After a few weeks of feeling tired, a bit sick and rundown, I've been feeling on top of the world for the past day or so. I've just realised that I have forgotten to take my Pregnacare tablet for the last 2 days and wondering if the two are connected.

Welcome to the newbies and great to hear more positive scan news.

iwantkhaleesiseyebrows · 03/12/2014 08:20

Morning everyone

Thanks for all the lovely messages.

Welcome newbies and good luck to those having scans.

Phryn - I had a terrible dream on Monday night too where I was told there was something wrong with the baby. I couldn't shake the feeling for the rest of the day and was even more terrified for scan yesterday. It's just a dream though I appreciate how they can leave you feeling horrible.

JennyOfOldstones · 03/12/2014 08:36

Morning all and good luck to the scans today!

I am also having really vivid dreams. Some are baby related and some aren't but I don't normally remember my dreams and I do at the moment.

StopEatingThatMud · 03/12/2014 08:49

Thanks phryn that's what I thought.

Now have a prescription of codeine waiting to be picked up. Doctor offered to sign me off but I said no as can't afford to take 3 days unpaid and then go onto SSP. Think I may try and book myself in for an eye test today if I can get one.

Enough of my moaning, hope everyone has a good day!

Morning everyone. Back at work today. Still feeling nauseous despite tablets, although it's not as bad as without, and I haven't actually been sick. Full of cold which is flaring up my asthma, and I'm feeling sooo exhausted again.

Feeling very useless and down. Worried about how much time I've had off work and how rubbishly I seem to be coping with being pregnant. It feels like I've had one thing after another every week since I've been pregnant. I feel like this baby is sapping all of the life out of me lol.

So long as I get a healthy baby at the end, I'm telling myself it'll be worth it, but I have no idea if I'll ever put myself through this again. I think the organising control freak in me just hates not being able to control or cope with what's going on. I was also clinging to the hope that I'd be feeling better in the second trimester, and that doesn't seem to be happening so that's like another blow to my ability to cope. Ugh! I'm such a weakling lol.
Weepy and hormonal today as you can probably tell; wish I could curl into a ball and sleep until Xmas. Maybe February.

Good luck for all scans today! Fx that we get lots more happy little beans!

I feel lucky that my scan showed a healthy little one, so feel bad for moaning and feeling down, but there you go. Fingers crossed I'll feel better when this cold does one and the nausea tablets kick in properly!

Morning all

Good luck with todays scans.. Newgirl!.... Your the only one thats on the stats but there maybe others?

Mummy - i've added you right at the top of the stats as you are likely to have your twins first. Corrected by 4 weeks, hope thats ok? Thats what rebecca was told with her twins (likely at 36 weeks)

Sunbathing - yay on booking a gender scan! Lovely news to take u onto new year.

Thelovecat - you wondered who had scans the same day as you - impatience, anything and yourself are scan date buddies.

I'm off to see shrek the musical today.. Xmas isnt complete without a theatre trip for me! Grin

forty I'm exactly the same today hugs a big weepy mess.

I remember now why four years ago I swore I was never doing this again and I'm sure I said something very similar along the lines of having the life sucked
out of me! It's the lack of control that got me last time too.

Here's to feeling better by Christmas!

BingoBonkers · 03/12/2014 09:21

I was the same twice before thinking how on earth do women sail through their pregnancies? Mine are awful. I never feel past the bleurghhhh stage until 20weeks.

pasbeaucoupdegendarme · 03/12/2014 09:26

Yy to the horrible dreams! I dreamt before my scan that I had a mc with lots of clots and blood everywhere... Really nasty Hmm And last night, in a seemingly unbaby-related dream I was caught up in an avalanche!! I was ok but dd was at nursery and as far as I could tell that was in the direct path of the avalanche. I couldn't get through the them (or my parents, who randomly seemed to be around as well) and was panicking about dd. I woke up really upset and stressed! I'm sure there's some deep meaning in there about feeling that everything's sweeping along out of control and dd's life is being turned upside down!!

On the plus side, it's now over 36 hours since I had my flu jab and no reaction yet... Last time I think I had it Tuesday evening and had to go home from work by break time on Wednesday so fx!

Good luck to today's scannees Smile

morning ladies.Smile Smile

I have pregnancy rage this morning. Angry I also had a horrid baby related dream last night so feel doubly hormonal. I've also been surprised how badly I've taken to being pregnant. still, it'll all be worth it in the end.

jazzy - enjoy your musical! we all have things that make us feel festive.

Chookford · 03/12/2014 10:03

Morning ladies

Sorry for those still feeling like pants, really hope it passes soon!

I'm another one having crazy, vivid dreams they are just downright strange! Good luck for scans today, and Sun finding out gender woohoo how exciting!!

Jazzy enjoy your musical!

I've also had vivid dreams (when I've managed to sleep!). Nothing baby related though.

My gender scan is just over a week away. Though as I've said, I don't know why we've booked it as I know what it is.

Enjoy the musical, jazzy.

ovaltine · 03/12/2014 10:51

Smilingeartoear - so sorry you've been ill, you must have been sick a lot to lose the weight? It's definitely something you should be talking to your Dr about. Are you keeping fluids down? I had hyperemesis quite bad with my first and took me until nearly 7 months to get back to Pre pregnancy weight and look pregnant. Better managed this time and I've already put on weight. I have avoided all pregnancy vitamins again with this pregnancy as they make me so sick! It's the iron in them I think. Let me know how you getting on x

ovaltine · 03/12/2014 10:51

Oh and the dreams!!!! Woke up having a panic attack the other week! Horrible.

fortywinx · 03/12/2014 11:17

Thanks everyone. Feel a bit better to know I'm not the only one struggling to cope and feeling a bit down in the dumps about it all.

Had a cry on the phone to DP earlier because somethings gone wrong with his bank taking rent payment this month, and I'm now worried that we're going to lose our house/I'll have to lend him more money to cover the rent and we won't be able to afford any Xmas presents this year.

I've also just been asked to come in to work on Saturday for 2 hours, which normally I wouldn't mind (my DP works Saturdays anyway, so it doesn't matter much to me), but Saturday is now my super lazy "catch-up-on-sleep" day where I have a lie in for as long as possible. Really should've stayed in bed today clearly lol.

I too have had some crazy vivid dreams, more so than normal. Had a really horrible one before my scan which I didn't post on here as was worried about upsetting people with how bad it was lol.

sun they are very good results, you are low risk for everything... Enjoy the feeling!!

Deutschybaby · 03/12/2014 13:08

Woop just had my scan! All fine, baby was very wriggly and jumpy though so the pictures we've got are a bit blurry! New EDD of 11th June, so I'm 12 weeks 6 days. Very happy! And we're getting married in 3 days!

Excuse the exclamation marks, I'm vvv excited and relieved Grin

sun they are excellent stats. Nice relief!

Hope everyone's having a Nice Wednesday.

JennyOfOldstones · 03/12/2014 13:12

Hurrah! Congrats Deutschy! And good luck with the wedding too was that planned already or are you pulling it together in 3 days?!!! Love a winter wedding. Flowers

Chookford · 03/12/2014 13:17

deutschy congrats on the good scan news... And enjoy your wedding! X

Deutschybaby · 03/12/2014 13:19

Thanks!

It's been a quite short notice wedding - was going to be in May, but when we found out I was pregnant we moved it forward. It's a no fuss affair, so hasn't involved much planning or stress really. Don't think I could have done it another way! I'm just excited to be married!x

JennyOfOldstones · 03/12/2014 13:33

That sounds lovely I hope you have a fantastic day x

Chookford · 03/12/2014 13:36

It does sound lovely, and like jenny I love a winter wedding... Sure it will be an amazing day Grin
