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

###STATS###

Hi all. Ive been beyond exhausted this weekend, not sure if it's finally symptoms starting or something grim I have caught off the DCs who both seem off colour.

Ive got my scan on Saturday, which has seemed to take forever.

If you can't face it metal don't go, I'm sure your friend will understand.

Me to Terry, we're scan date buddies

Hi from sunny Nice! Been on holiday since Tuesday and it's been lovely - think the scenery and fresh air is distracting me from pregnancy symptoms! It
has been strange not drinking on
holiday but I'm more than making
up for it with ice-cream and any other food I can get my mits on! Usually i'd have eaten every type of fish and shellfish in the Med by now, but it's been all pizza and pasta this week.

For those heading on holiday soon - enjoy!! Cx

Urgh, I feel awful tonight! I now seem to feel sick after eating too (and if I'm not eating, so basically I can't win). Might have to invest in some of those sea bands too feed...

Glad you're having a nice holiday Clare and feeling well!

metal seabands were the best £8 dh had ever spent on me. Don't think I could have made it through the rest of the week at work! Funny how I seem to feel better when I'm resting at home rather than being in work, glad I've got a fortnight off! I hope you feel better soon hun x

Ooo sparkle! Mine is at 9.30.
How many weeks will you be?

Had some cramps this evening. Can't even decide if its uterus or bowel or other! Keep thinking the worst and dh has shouted at me :-( think I've upset him.

chops DH gets very mad at me when I mention this t things could go wrong, I'm more a worse car scenario sort of person whilst he thinks he is a positive thinking sort i see this as sticking head in sand

Thanks chops! I've been a bit crampy too and my back is aching, it's so hard not to panic about every little thing isn't it? I don't think men get it at all, but that doesn't give him the right to shout at you! I hope he apologised.

I can remember cramping loads with DC 1 and 2.

Plus all the hormones can play havoc with your innards and so things like trapped wind can feel like cramps.

I apologized, it was my fault. He said I was being irrationaly negative when he's normally the negative one. He's sick of me being doom and gloom and nothing positive coming out of my mouth. He's right. He also said he's not going through it again if things don't work out. I need a flipping scan!

Terry I think mine is 9.10 (might need to check that) reckon I'll be just over 9 weeks (edd 10th December) it's an early scan because of dating issues, I have PCOS which can cause my cycles to range anything from 21 days to 60+ days! We did the same with DS and it was such a relief to see my little bean in there, rather surreal!

Also ladies on lovely holidays, beware of icecream, especially the soft mr whippy kind!

I should be 8 weeks ish, I booked it in but I wanted to be sure they should be able to see a HB at that point as my nerves couldn't take it otherwise.

Chops sorry youve been feeling negative, ive always found MN a great place to come and fret, I don't think that they understand all the emotions and worries we have, and the hormones everywhere makes it so much worse. Do try and not worry yourself about the cramping it's very normal.

Morning ladies, I hope you are all benefiting from the bank holiday.

Terry and sparkle how exciting for your early scans

I have my booking in on fri and after waiting for a letter about scan for weeks, I reread the booking in letter and it says that my scan appointment will be arranged during my booking in! So at least come Friday I will hopefully know when my first scan is!

Oh and chops have some and try to relax I am aware that is impossible I'm trying to have a what will be will be attitude and although I am anxious that things might go wrong I know that my scan will be coming in hopefully 3 weeks time and then I'll see bean and all the stress will be worth it.

Hi everyone from Chiang Mai where it is 38 degrees ...away on a little weekend with my friend to do lots of yoga and eat lots of healthy food! Have actually managed to do both as the nausea has been manageable - the heat though is debilitating! Nowhere has air con as its all open fronted backpacker-type restaurants and I've spent a lot of time terrified I'm overheating. Gah!!its been amazing spending time with my friend though - obviously had to tell her, and she's been so amazing, really happy not drinking re self and going to bed at 10pm with me every night!! Had a yoga class today where the entire class heard me tell the teacher I'm pregnant, which was surreal as random strangers were congratulating me - felt like I was pregnant for the first time, haha!! My logic is that it's fine telling any old random stranger that I'll never meet again but definitely not anyone that knows me... Lol!!

Thanks girls, I think I'm worrying more as we took years to conceive this bean and if we lost it I don't know if I can go through ttc again for another goodness knows how long again. I'm not getting any younger!

Feeling rough as a badgers arse again today so I'm sure everything is fine lol! Need to paint my toenails before Hol tomorrow :-) heard crap about nail polish but I'm taking no notice, something to do for it containing formaldehyde. I work with gallons of the stuff at work and its been deemed a safe working environment. Still not dying my hair though, jeez I'm grey!

Chops you'll be ok painting your nails just try not to breath too much in and keep the room well ventilated

I've gone to town on peanuts yoday but now feel ready to flop or throw up, or both

We've just spent four hours at the park with friends, and although I'm absolutely exhausted now the fresh air seems to have helped a bit with my nausea! I told one of my friends as she asked me something that would have required me to make up an excuse; she was very excited for us.

Got my booking in appointment tomorrow afternoon and am dreading it slightly, I'm sure it's going to bring back bad memories from last year when I miscarried about a week after the appointment...

I'm also in dire need of getting my hair done chops, the grey is definitely getting more noticeable! I hope you have a lovely holiday and it's not totally spoilt by feeling rough.

Just went for a bra fitting. What a relief. They're bloody huge though and some she showed me reminded me of helping my grandma out with her laundry!!
difference is amazing. My pre pg bras were leaving red marks under my boobs.

I'm really struggling. Had to take the weekend off work as the sickness was just constant. DP was away and luckily my mum stepped in to help with DS. I'm yet to get out of bed today as as soon as I move I'm sick. DS woke in the night at 1am and I ended up being sick on his carpet. I'm so happy my symptoms are so strong after my MC in October but I'm also trying to figure out how I'm going to get to 12 weeks! Possibly a trip to the doctors. Poor DS keeps climbing into bed with me for a snuggle, I'm sure he misses me.

I'm sorry you're really suffering Haribo

Been to a museum today with ds and my friend and her dd and I am so exhausted! I also think I'm getting a tummy bug as I've had bad stomach ache and diarrhea since this morning :(

The exhaustion has hit here too. Doesn't help that I think this is all messing with my ADs so I'm stressing about everything. It was DDs 4th birthday at the weekend so she's been high as a kite all weekend which isn't helping!

Sorry you're feeling so poorly haribo I hope you feel better soon. If it keeps up make sure you see a doc and some antiemetics. Stay strong love, you can do this.

Hope you feel better soon too abi

Make sure you're getting fluids in ladies although drinking makes me feel sicker than eating
