Feel you with the migraines happy I haven't had one in about 3 years and all go a sudden 4 in the last 3 weeks not fun when having to look after an 8 month old!

Bleurgh don't even want to think about prams etc yet, I'm going to have to sell my silvercross and get a double buggy im devastated Sad im not sure what to do about another cot either, I'm planning on co sleeping for a few months at first again, hoping to just shove DS into a big boy bed then when he's around 18 months, will have to look into it properly.

AliOh · 25/01/2015 18:31

Thinking about it actually haven't had a migraine since DP started his new job, I was told I can't go back to work after mat leave finishes (30th jan) just before xmas and DP was laid off a week later so likely brought on by stress.

Augustwedding · 25/01/2015 18:56

Alioh I have good things about tye city jogger double.

Glad your do has now got a new job, that must have been a massively stressful tine!

Emb540 · 25/01/2015 19:00

I suffered bad with them with my 2DD had nose bleeds and all with it but luckily touching every bit of wood in my house!! Not had one yet!!

August - I want another icandy, I had a pear the double last time I loved it literally broke my heart selling it. I got a quinny zapp xtra and hate it!! It's still sat in my garage really need to shift it!
I got mine last time a bargin off eBay so I'm constantly the look out for a bargin but I'll try to hang off till 20 weeks I think.

I swear this drained feeling didn't last this long last time!! Or this bad I've never been like it before I literally couldn't get out of bed this morning. I get up just about manage to sort kids breakfast and need to go back to bed. Like now just finished Dinner and I am jumping in the shower and getting into bed! I literally can not get past 8pm! Don't know what I am going to do this week working lates till 9Shock might have to sleep under my desk!

12 weeks tomorrow whoop 2 more sleeps till scan day Smile

AliOh · 25/01/2015 19:33

Thanks august still is a tad stressful with me not being in work and obviously no one is going to give me a job preggo Grin still at least there's some money coming in now. Seems like if you have a mortgage the government write you off as wearthly so you're not entitled to anything! How people live in benefits I'll never know!

Can't believe we are approaching twelve week scans already! It seems to have flown! Was thinking yesterday DS is 9 months shortly which means 3 months until his 1st bday after which it will only be 3 months until due date Shock

LAM1 · 25/01/2015 19:40

Dozy going in March you may be blooming and full of energy which may be better but yes, not sure about the being bigger part! Some of the tiny kids were amazing, they could have only been 3 or 4 some of them but they were brilliant - they had no fear at all!

That's a great deal August, does this retailer have a website?? I was looking at iCandys whilst away. Not sure what one though!
This baby shopping lark is a whole new world!!! Will hold off on most stuff for a while but if there is a good deal then it would be mad to miss it!

whitwoochantelle · 25/01/2015 20:33

Afternoon ladies hope you're allfeeling better?!
Im also feeling the cold im usually warm blooded but my feet are freezing all thr time if I put heating on makes me ferl sick! My sickness is slipping back in I hate the smell of food cooking at the min so only eating cold foods little bits I can im bk to work tommrow ive been off since before Christmas , reallynot looking fforward to it or the drive to n from. I kniw I should of gone bsck to doctors but I feel sorry for my colleagues who are working extra tocover me xx

Augustwedding · 25/01/2015 21:01

LAM1- we got from the oxford pram centre and they matched the online deals I found at pram world. They switched the changing bag for carrycot which was actually the better deal! The strawberry has just been replaced with the newer strawberry 2 so that's why they are doing a good deal on it!

northernlassy24 · 25/01/2015 21:03

happy i had a headache mon-weds this week and couldn't shift it. Paracetomol didn't have any effect and we aren't allowed anything stronger so just had to ride it out. Plenty of water and rest x

nannynome · 25/01/2015 21:30

Hello everyone, been so busy with work and DS1 that I haven't really been paying much attention to being pregnant.
Got our 12 week scan tomorrow and will join in on the pic posting. No bump pic however as I am another one on the higher BMI scale and therefore just look more overweight than normal Sad have been trying to keep moving but the inevitable has happened and I have to phone the midwife tomorrow as I am starting to feel the SPD twinges again. So annoying, been feeling fairly sick too but hopefully that will go soon.

Flowers to those who are feeling awful (not cake as that won't help!)

happygojo · 25/01/2015 21:31

Yup I slept for 12 hours with a heat pad on my forehead and a cold strip on the back of my neck. The Dr gave me anti nausea meds at my first appointment when I was 5 weeks. They seem to help some of the migraine symptoms and make me sleepy so that provides some relief, at least I can sleep through most of it! The thought of having them for the next 6 months is very daunting!

birchwoods · 25/01/2015 22:12

Hi everyone. I can't believe the weekend is already over Hmm.

I'm so tired! Have been having vivid dreams every night for weeks and waking up so much through the night.

Happy, I've been very headachy too. I'm quite a headachy person anyway but had a lot v early in pg and have pretty much had a constant headache since Weds but it's much worse this evening.

11+5 today and have my scan on Tuesday! Excited and nervous. I will post my pic if all ok.

Hope everyone is doing ok. We're nearly into Feb!

xBlueberry88x · 26/01/2015 07:14

12 weeks today! Still another week until scan though booo

Felt a little better towards the end of last week but crappy again yesterday and today

I havent even looked at prams I have no idea!

happygojo · 26/01/2015 08:26

I am not looking or buying anything until after 12 week scan, poss even 20 weeks. There will always be offers and and with next day delivery there will be plenty of time. 7 sleeps til scan.... Not even sure how I am going to make it through this work week as I feel awful! And I was up at 3.30am and couldn't get back to sleep! Ugh! I would have called in sick but we have 2 people out of the office this week so I felt like I couldn't but I feel awful!

daisysunshine2 · 26/01/2015 08:50

Hi everyone, 12 weeks today and scan day! So nervous, after my mc last time I just keep thinking its going to be bad news :( have been waking up all night following vivid scary dreams and my eczema has gone crazy. Think because I feel stressed! Scans not till 3.30 so going to try and stay busy and positive! Already decided were going to nandos afterwards, so really looking forward to that, mmmmmm :)

Flowers to all of you with sickness and headaches, must be rubbish, hope they ease off soon!

mzzzf · 26/01/2015 12:11

I thought I'd start feeling som energy by now -argh!
Still experiencing the joys of long headaches, fatigue and now I have dizziness too, lovely.

Anyway, scan today, feeling petrified but trying to think positive - wish me luck!!

Good luck to anyone else who's scanning today xx

happygojo · 26/01/2015 12:12

Good luck Daisy! I really hope that everything is ok for you.

I have never had nandos.... but now I am craving it! anyway enjoy!

otter32 · 26/01/2015 14:06

Good luck daisy!

I'm with you on the crazy dreams! Someone recommended The Walking Dead... watched 2 episodes last night. Never again. Spent all my dreams running away from zombies!

The only reason I bought the pram and travel system was the good discount and the fact I put a refundable deposit down. Then payments can be spread out until delivery in June. Otherwise I'm very wary about buying anything. Don't want to jinx it all.

birchwoods · 26/01/2015 15:15

Good luck to those with scans today! I'm getting nervous about mine tomorrow!!

Also with you on the crazy dreams, they are so vivid I wake up exhausted!! I was on the run the other night!!

nannynome · 26/01/2015 15:22

Scan was all good, we were only out by a day so due date is now 2 August. Jellybean was very bouncy Smile close up pic of possible thumb sucker, lovely scanning lady gave us 4 pics without charge.

nannynome · 26/01/2015 15:49

Had to have pic removed cos it had all my details on top! Here it is again, thanks MNHQ for the quick fix!!

otter32 · 26/01/2015 15:53

Aw that's a fab scan pic! So cute!

mzzzf · 26/01/2015 16:41

Scan went well although baby is a little camera shy and was facing totally the wrong way so we couldn't get proper measurements. All ok just need to go back in 2 weeks for another dating scan.
But they did measure enough to see that baby is further along than initially thought, edd now late July! Smile

PenguinTuxedo · 26/01/2015 17:07

Is anyone taking anti sickness tablets? Work are getting fed up with me having time off, so I gave in and phoned the Drs for some. He was so so lovely, and prescribed me Bucal or something - the ones that go on your upper gum. I just feel so pathetic for taking them :(

AliOh · 26/01/2015 17:10

Wow great news on the scans! Congrats ladies Grin

Oh otter I am an absolute super fan of the walking dead! I have to say it gets less scary and about the zombies as time goes on and the seasons have some really fab story lines! It starts again in two week for the back half of the current season and im peeing my pants waiting! Hah Grin
