My nausea feels exactly like motion sickness which I get really badly unless I'm driving! I've not been sick though. Only thing that works is 'keeping my tummy busy' i.e. Stuffing my face hope you're all feeling better soon! Had a meeting with the oral health lady at my booking in appt, it was basically exactly what we're told as teachers before we start doing toothbrushing with a class

I've just sent DP to Boots (he was less than impressed) i will report back, it says they work instantly so fingers crossed!

Well I've had them on for about 1 & 1/2 hours and I can actually feel a difference! I don't feel completely better like I was hoping but I do feel less shit, and for the first time all week I actually want to eat something, so definite progress
Now, to have what I fancy - a toasted tea cake, or what will be easier on the way back up like porridge or soup? Decisions...

Well pretty regular day here but nice birthdays are not the same when u r an adult are they!? Felt quite queezy on and off all day mega tired and holy shit my tits hurt!
I can safely say I will not be rushing back to KFC for a long time quite a disappointment I'm glad that craving has been and gone

Evening ladies! I have come to the conclusion that I don't have MS I have NS (night sickness!)

After 48 hours my blessings stopped fx night night all hope MS or NS goes away xx

Travel sickness bands at the best! Unfortunately I managed to lose one but one is better than nothing. I am about to fly back from a ten day trip overseas, feel okay but the nausea is definitely kicking in! Mainly during the night and first thing in the morning.

Ok, does anyone else have massive nipples??

Yes to the big nipples!

fx ashmy nipples arent massive but they are permanantley sticking out. worried im going to take someones eyes out

And I got up for a pee 4 times last night!!!! That is so annoying!

These bands are definitely working, I usually feel sick all day but only actual be sick in the middle if the night (between 2 & 4 generally) I slept with these bands on and slept right through last night, no vomit atall

And yes to the big nipples, mine always get really big and darker too, DP loves them - weirdo

YY to the bands - I have mine back on now the nausea has ramped up and they definitely take the edge of it. Mine were £8 something for the blue Boots ones.

And press down on them when the nausea is feeling really bad - that really helps.

Same as cish. Only realised when I was wearing a sports bra under work clothes (all I can fit into just now) and realised just how obvious. Cringe.

I think I need to venture to boots for these bands! Although morning I'm alright, as long as I have toast!

Ahhh just had my best mate on the phone speaking about going to see her Tuesday. He DS is 6 months and she has always said she's keeping all his toys etc and her maternity stuff for me so it was super difficult not to tell her today. I'm planning on telling her Tuesday face to face anyway!

The other difficult thing is my BIL and SIL are coming round today and my OH is close to his bro so is dying to tell him but I keep saying I want my dad to know first, am I being selfish? Should we just tell them when they come round? We'd be telling them next week anyway. Also if we don't tell them I don't know how I'm going to survive the day as I always smoke with my SIL and she will know something is up!

Help!!!

Crying baby, it's up to you when you tell them but they might guess anyway if you don't. I'd probably go ahead and say if it were me, but you have to do what feels right for you. I don't think it matters the order you tell people, as long as you do it face to face with those close to you when you see them.

I've just got it in my head that my dad needs to be the first to know but he's home from hols tomorrow so I dunno just feel a bit selfish!

Hi everyone

Glad to hear the bands are working!

Sadly my brown spotting has turned red. Spoken to out of hours and I just have to wait. Not feeling hopeful

Missmrs I'm so sorry to hear this, get some rest I really hope things turn out ok. I'm still very anxious with my spotting, going to call GP tomorrow and it just can't come soon enough.

Are you having any cramps?

Mama stay positive and ring your EPu tomo (they were the only sympathetic ones after ringing docs and mw ) they will get you straight in for an early scan. I've got mine tomo after period cramps and bleeding on thu that didn't stop til last night. It doesn't necessarily mean the worst but I'd recommend rest. I worked yesterday after they sent me home two hours of rest and they stopped ??

Sorry that message was for you mrsmummy !

Thank you ash and mama I have spoken to epu and you were right, the nurse was lovely. She said not to worry unless it's like a full-blown period. I have had some more bright red blood so it's not looking good. No pain but some cramping. Too early for a scan but I can book one for 10 days if all still ok.

Sorry to bring the board down with this news! At least if we lose this one we know we can conceive so there is hope. ash fx for you tomorrow x

Missmrs I'm so hoping the bleeding stops for you, so scary. So how far along would you be in 10 days? Just wondering what the earliest time is that they will scan you? Take it easy today, it's such a stressful time. Hugs!!
