January 2016 thread #2......sick bags at the ready!

[brickiemum2]

New thread for us all

Oh Manatee a chees and onion crisp sandwich was all I could think of at 4.30am this morning! So going to tesco after work to stock up on all the wee things I know I can eat at the minute.
Managed a plate and a half of stew - this is definitely an achievement to crying into my potatoes the night before last, cus I couldn't manage more than 2 spoonfuls

Yokyil I just ate TWO cheddar and cheesenonioncrisp sandwiches for my lunch, and scorned the lovely fresh vegetable soup I made for myself earlier. I am the queen of healthy snacks

My nausea picks and chooses it's time throughout the day. For a long time it was around 9.30 it peaked. Now it seems to be around 2pm. I've figured pour why though...low blood sugar. I started eating a bigger breakfast so that cured the morning BUT it made me less hungry for lunch so I've had less, hence the low blood sugar at 2pm. I've just finished work and scoffed 2 massive bowls of chicken and chorizo paella with chilli oil and lots of salt. Everything I crave is smoky, salty and oily. Yes othm it is me who is a fellow herta addict, on brioche buns though

brickie Looks like a few more frankfurter obsessives have come out of the woodwork too.

oh so if i ovulated on cd 11 (03 May) got my bpf on the 12th May.. then my EDD is on the 22nd Jan? and im 5w5d.. im still gna say im 5w now but ill see what the dr says when i finally go

Hi everyone, been lurking, but not officially going to add myself yet. I'm 5w2d, been in and out of hospital as I've had cramps for around 10 days now, had a scan Sunday, which was inconclusive so I have another booked for 2 weeks time, if all is good I shall add myself. I can't get excited or anything yet as these cramps are ruining it for me :( I will continue to lurk though. Here's to a happy healthy 9 months to you all xxc

brooke I had cramps at the start- could be normal eg uterus expanding. Really could be this as it's a v normal symptom!
Ladies- just when I thought my nausea subsides I stood up to go pee and the room is spinning...ugh

Brooke I also had awful cramps for the first couple of weeks after my BFP and still have cramps on and off (usually in the evenings). I have been reassured by many that cramps are a very normal symptom and are usually only a cause for concern when accompanied by bleeding/spotting. They have caused me a lot of stress but I'm trying believe that they are perfectly normal! I figure that if the bean can put up with the cramps then it's a very robust little bean indeed!

I'm meant to be 7+6 today but tomorrow I have my early scan to see whether I am possibly a bit further behind (my HCG levels 2 weeks ago were low for someone who was 6 weeks pregnant). I'm nervous but also excited - I never got to see a heartbeat last time as I miscarried too early.

Other than that, nausea hit me big time at the weekend and I am absolutely shattered. I feel sick on and off all day - it's worse when I'm hungry so I'm forcing myself to eat even though I have little appetite. I'm struggling at work this week but am trying to keep my head down and get as much sleep as possible. All good symptoms though

Brooke I had pretty much constant cramps the week after my BFP, and was told by all the other ladies on here that it was really common! :)

Thanks for the reassurance ladies. I have two dc already and didn't have this with them, the cramps are there allday and night and have stopped me sleeping too. I shall feel better once I've had the second scan :) will keep lurking until then :)

Aldi shop was a big mistake for me to do - frankfurters and mini cheddars galore! As well as some other random stuff - oops!

Brooke, try not to panic (not easily done I know!) I went to the docs yesterday as I'd been having cramps all in one place and thought the worst but he put my mind at rest. Really hope the second scan goes well!

Really tempted to book in for a private scan for a couple of weeks time just to see if everything is as it should be - not sure I'll persuade hubby though!

I feel exactly the same as you at the mo blue! I'm constantly knackered and the nausea is lasting longer each day now - the only thing that helps is if I constantly eat - here comes a massive weight gain!!

Oh and thanks looking! I did have a quick google re yoga (bad I know!) and there were lots of people saying not to do to it in the first trimester so on your advice I'll give it a miss I think. Plus I was going with my friend and didn't know how to sneakily tell the instructor without her hearing! Hate keeping secrets!!

Hi ladies!

Hope you don't mind me joining you? I've been procrastinating doing some half term marking by reading your thread for the last hour! Such happy and sad stories...

So I'm 29, been ttc since jan15 and had a MC in March. Got my BFP two weeks ago now and so excited! Have had lots of crazy symptoms already so I'm happy that it feels a lot different to my mc in March.

Has anyone else found that the morning sickness seems to be worse some days than others? I've been pretty queasy recently but only every other day. Which means that on the ok days I am fraught with worry that all is not well! Also had freezing cold feet which is just starting to fade.

What's everyone's strangest symptom so far? Mine was when I was just reading the other day and I collapsed into a crazy crazy fit of giggles! Half laughing, half crying, half wetting myself! Hahaha. DH came upstairs to find out what was so funny! There was nothing funny! I just couldn't stop giggling!

Forgot to say: I'm 5+3 and due on 24th Jan 2016

moonshine YOU HAVE JOINED THE FRANKFURTER SISTERHOOD. THERE IS NO GOING BACK.

I'm really worried and upset today as I've not had any nausea, and I've not had a day without it since it started over two weeks ago. My boobs don't hurt anymore either I've got a really bad feeling.

boddess - Welcome to you, and yes to your Q's. It doesn't really happen as much now, but when I was at five weeks I was like a crazy person with my mood swings. One minute I was sobbing my heart out, and the next I was in hysterics walking my feet across the wall. My DH asked me "er...what's so funny" and all I could do was say "Monster feet!!!" before collapsing into laughter again.

As I said, thankfully this has stopped now....

How are people doing on the nausea front? I've been retching every morning as soon as I get up, as I can't stand the musty smell of the house (our flat is very old). Thankfully it's before eating, so it's not too vile. I'm going to ask DH to start opening the windows when he gets up.

Some days I feel much worse than others. Yesterday I pretty much spent the whole day on the sofa feeling sorry for myself. When I did go to the shops I felt like I was going to pass out.

Today I even managed to do an exercise video!!!

Congrats boddess - fab news!! There's definitely days I feel more queasy than others, think it depends on when I eat though - and I'm normally always warm and am freezing at the moment!

Oh no don't panic Looking! I don't feel queasy everyday either, maybe you're just having a good day? I've got my fingers crossed that your symptoms come back tomorrow! Feels weird writing that!!

Oh yes defo joined the frankfurter club Manatee and I'm never leaving!!!!

Keep calm looking! My bits of nausea are very random so please don't panic!

I think I might join the frankfurter club and hope they don't make me feel sick! Ooh it can be a payday treat tomorrow!

Got my first midwife appointment on monday. What are they going to ask me?

Looking please try not to worry, it's very common for symptoms to come and go. My boob soreness went a couple of days ago and has now come back. And I've had no sickness at all.

Welcome newbies!
