September 2015 (Thread 4) Boobs are growing, but we're not yet showing!

[Treaclepie19]

Apart from the bloat anyway!
Thread for all the wonderful ladies due in September 2015 :)

shin I know that don't know why I've been poas at all. Paranoia really??

7 weeks today for me as well. Just been to tesco for vast amounts of junk food as that's all that I want at the moment.

Anyone else up Manchester way?

The antibiotic you can't drink with is metronidazole but unfortunately it's only really used for nasty kind of infections you're not going to be too happy to declare! Say you're on it for bacterial vaginosis then they're not going to ask you any more questions!!!!

8 weeks for me today :)
Think my sickness is starting. I've spent most of the morning heaving.

I have rage! Just want to sit On my own doing nothing . Dd is constantly saying " play with me,play with me"

Anyone else suffering from itch? I have had awful itchiness for the last two weeks - it itches, I scratch, then white lumps appear in sore red skin. Yesterday I scratched my thighs briefly and today I'm covered in a hand sized bruise with red flecks.

And my eyes are swelling - looks likes hives around my eye socket, itching like crazy (not scratching my face though!) and I feel all puffy. Just woke up with this delightful development today. I've even had itchy earlobes!
Anyone else had this or is it another random pregnancy mystery for me?

Kittykitty05 I suffered with a blocked nose all the way through my first pregnancy - apparently it's very common. When I reached the second trimester my GP prescribed me a nasal spray (can't remember what it was called, sorry) but said I must use it sparingly, once at night to help me sleep as I was exhuasted.

Sudafed is not recommended - as with most medicines it's not been tested in pregnancy so there's no data on whether it causes problems.

You can take paracetemol no problem.

You might also want to try this method of clearing your sinuses:

Ooh thank you Gooo, I've also found little snuffle bits in Tesco- vapour oil & nasal drops all for babies, so I'm guessing they're fine in pregnancy! Worth a try, making me feel miserable

I feel your pain. It's really horrible. It's not hit me yet this time but I'm on 7 weeks. I really hope I don't get it again - I really struggled to sleep.

Sundaymum I'm in Manchester too. Near Old Trafford

I'm really really worried about tomorrow ?? thinking how would I manage anything if there's no baby/bad news for baby.i go on holiday in 3 weeks. Nerves eatin away at me.

Oh alien, it is hard waiting. Keep reminding yourself that today you are pregnant and whatever happens you will survive.

Same here alien, scan tomorrow at 10 weeks and holiday in 3 weeks for 3 weeks with no healthcare nearby

10 weeks today and I've spent the entire day completely wiped out with exhaustion. So glad I'm working at home tomorrow and avoiding the 2 hour commute (and 6.15 alarm)

I guess it's all good signs but such a shame when it's been a beautiful sunny day here and I just about made it as far as the garden for half an hour earlier! I don't know how you girls dealing with toddlers at the same time are managing it!!

Ooooo - and good luck for tomorrow alien and butterfly! I'll look forward to seeing your pics tomorrow

Ditzy I have a great DH who has entertained my 1 year old all day. Thank goodness. That's how I am coping, all day nausea today.

Same here Whatabout re:DH being a hero. I'm starting to think this exhaustion is not normal...I am literally struggling to move at times...is it because I have a cold as well? I just feel SO drowsy..!

yup you find out if you made the right choice of partner when you become a parent

Ag123 I have days like that, it's crushing. Hoping I'll get through my week at work. I have to go to Düsseldorf for the day on Friday and I fear I might die!

Good luck for tomorrow butterfly

Ugh, anyone else having cramps?
I'm having cramps again. A bit like period cramps mixed with that kinda feeling you get with an upset stomach :/

Treacle - my midwife said to expect some more cramps round about now, I've only had the sneezy ones since the really stretchy pains at 5 weeks, but geared up to expect more after her comments!

Thanks ditzzy :)
I'm really on edge at the moment because I miscarried around this time last pregnancy.

I had the sneezing pain earlier but these cramps aren't nice.

Treacle it could well just be growing pains. I'm having lots of round ligament pain, could it be that?

Thinking of you.

I know it's hard but try not to worry Treacle. The most likely situation is that everything is fine. But remember if you get really anxious/worried that's what things like NHS111 are for.
