As the 1st trimester sets in, its all sick-bags, ginger tea and laxatives! All aboard!

###STATS###

(sounds less when I say 2.2lb but my app works in kg)

Has anyone started crying ? it started last night. (not helped by a cancer scare in the family) Now the bus is not coming and I'm struggling to keep it together.

My bus didn't come this morning either flo :-( i gave up and went home

I really wish I could but I need to go and deal with day 3 of "shits hitting fans at high speed."

I had an awful moment of disbelief this morning. "Maybe I am not too ill because I'm not pregnant at all". I have an early scan next week, It Can't come fast enough.

Hi flora yes I have cried the last three days and again this morning when my train was cancelled !

So sorry Toadie, just a terribly unfair thing to happen, big hugs.

FlorIxora am only managing about 6k steps a day at the moment. Was emotional at first and am now on and off. Having to speak to HR today about my termination and imagine I will find that hard to contain if they don't behave themselves. I can't face a fight but will have to if I don't get what I should.

Chandlers I hear ya on the heat and smells, similar temperature here although humidity won't kick in for another month. For some reason I have booked a holiday in Thailand in a month so it will be super hot and super wet and I will be at nausea peak!

My nausea slightly better today so am paranoid things are going wrong. Less than 48 hours until my scan....

Oooh I haven't gained weight. There's a surprise. The munching and the food aversion have cancelled eachother out. Florl, hope the shit stops hitting the fan for you today :)

I've booked a holiday to go hiking in Turkey in 2.5 weeks Maybe we will book into a hotel instead....

I cried watching keeping up with the kardashians the other day

Oh thank you for making feel less insane. I cried at the Harley Street programme. This lady was seeing a herbalogist (qwack) because she lost her pregnancy at 11 wks. I just started sobbing. Then the two cancelled bus this morning...

My nausea is so bad this morning. In a way I'm happy that my symptoms are ramping up but it is not nice at all! I need to do my online grocery shopping but I can't think of any meal ideas that aren't making me feel I need to run to the toilet! Anyone have any ideas? I have picky ds to think of as well (although dp is probably more picky!)

Sorry for all those having bad days. I've decided to come back to bed this morning after dropping ds off at nursery and doing a bit of housework. Luckily dp is home from work early today so he can help out

Oh no so sorry Chops don't know how that happened!!

Not fancying any food either abi everything is bleurgh. Making cottage pie tonight, don't know if I really fancy it but i've got it for the next 2 days!

Jebel, so sorry I didn't get back to you about the harmony test! I didn't see anything about it being offered here unfortunately but the NIFTY test is offered at my hospital (the best one in Bangkok) which is the Bumrungrad in the city centre. The only link I found is in Thai tho (which I can't read to that level!) and has no price, but you can definitely call the hospital yourself and ask them. I'm going back for my early scan on Weds next week, so if you still need the info then, I can let you know afterwards as I will be asking for myself too! www.bumrungrad.com/th/womens-center-obgyn-thailand/high-risk-pregnancy

Do you live in Qatar usually or just passing thru? That's gonna get pretty hot soon too right?!

As for the crying - I cried at a shit keyring at Tokyo airport this week. I also cried all the way through the Paddington film on the flight... DH had to go and get me a load of tissues from the loo as I was too embarrassed to walk past anyone!

Hi everyone - just catching up with you all on the new thread! I'm 8+0 and symptoms have definitely kicked in. Morning sickness and exhaustion has been pretty bad over the last week, and random crying/laughing (weird?) Sat on the loo and just sobbed the other day. Boobs fuller but not alot bigger. Sense of smell gone crazy and the smell of Fairy Liquitabs makes me gag - also, onions.

Staying in bed watching One Born, trying not to worry about the college work I've got to do for end of June. Over the moon that I'm pg but timing is tricky - I've got final exam to pass my qualification, and I usually get really anxious about academic work/exams, so trying to keep calm. Also we're hoping to move flat.

So distracted at the moment, plus sickness I've just been hanging around the flat when I can and sleeping during the day. How are we meant to do exercise feeling like this?! I can't wait for 12 weeks so I can tell family and friends - at the moment hiding out at home is getting a bit lonely, especially when feeling really sick. DH is being an absolute star though.

Calling up for my booking in appointment today.

Hang on in there ladies :)

Morning ladies, very envious of those of you tucked up in bed - although I don't envy the sickness!

I'm not sick, just a little nauseous all the time and my appetite's gone weird. I am shattered, though, and like FlorI I am going through a hellish time at work - worked most of the weekend and wasn't home til midnight last night. I'm close to the point of just flouncing off and going home. My clients can just do one.

Hope you all feel better soon

toadie and mega just wanted to say how sorry I am that your journeys have ended too soon. Hope you have friends and family in RL looking after you.

Its not fair! I want to feel sick too!

jebel What's happening at work? make sure you take legal advice.

sweets the clients have their moments indeed. Right now I am dealing with a massive issue but the person I work for is away and out of contact (for 2 weeks). They reproach my taking initiatives but right now I am left to hold the baby and I am so scared they will be furious at my efforts when they are back. If it wasn't for the small detail of paying the mortgage I would get out of there.

Feeling very poorly and sorry for myself today! ??

Eeeeeeeek I just told my boss. We were talking about something coming up next year and I just decided to go for it. It's all good. Phew. Much earlier than I thought but makes me feel better for not bluffing.

afloat how did s/he take it? I'm really worried about telling mine, we get on really well but we are so swamped at the moment it's really not the news he's going to want to hear!

Had the MOST frustrating conversation with my GP surgery earlier. Had an initial GP appointment 2 weeks ago today then was referred for an early scan (7+2). I'm 9 weeks today by the scan dates, 10+3 by lmp dates! And haven't heard anything about booking appointment or scan. Called the GP and the receptionist was hugely unhelpful and didn't seem to know what was happening. I'm going to try calling the local midwife team directly tomorrow and hope I get more sense out of them, I really want to have something booked in! Worried that I won't get a scan for ages otherwise and have to wait even longer to tell everyone...

ThreeBean, he took it very well. Big congratulations. It's so strange to have told him already (only one friend of ours knows) but it's good to get it out of the way, and I don't think it can come in the way of my career or anything right now. I would be much more cautious if I didn't trust him, didn't feel valued, and if my contract didn't extend for a couple of more years. It's great that you have a good relationship!

Threebeans def chase it up. They should do everything in their power to get you a scan date between 11 and 14 weeks in order to be able to offer the nuchal test!

I've just cooked moussaka and now wondering how I'm going to summon the energy to tidy the kitchen (i appear to have used every pan in the house) still at least I don't need to worry about cooking after the nursery run!

Sickness isn't too bad today but the exhaustion is phenomenal!! Booking in appt on Friday then scan a week on Saturday! Hope this little bug is growing nice and strong
