Marking my place. Thanks for the new thread miss!

Withalittlesparkle · 11/06/2015 20:03

Thanks for reminding me I'm in second trimester already!! That's 3rd of the way through!!

tammie49 · 11/06/2015 20:23

Hey!! I've been a bit quiet on here but thought I'd mark my spot. Hope everyone's doing well. I just look fat!!!!

BoobsTooBig · 11/06/2015 20:56

Yay I'm pleased to say all was well at my 12 week scan can you help out with joining the fb group? X

rowemeister · 11/06/2015 21:12

Marking my place too and can't believe how quickly we are tearing through the threads! I'm so excited that there are now only 4 days till my scan ... Reading this forum is the only thing keeping me sane!

TheBabyFacedAssassin · 11/06/2015 22:13

Hellllooooooo and thanks Miss for the brand spanking new thread!

How you holding up Metal?

Congrats Boobs on the positive scan!

ChandlersFarang · 12/06/2015 05:56

Boobs congrats on your scan! you need to send afloat a private message with the email address that you use to log in to Facebook and then she can send you an email with the group link in it.

Wonky - is this your first that you're expecting? That is an early bump... Maybe you're right about the twins! It is a bit weird there aren't any in the group yet... GrinGrin

WonkyDonkBonk · 12/06/2015 07:21

Thanks for the new thread Mrs

Congrats on the scan boobs - great username btw.

This is my 2nd baby and I have been eating A LOT, DP says i look pregnant now and i'm having to be very careful what i wear to work to cover the bump. My scan is on Monday so we'll see how many there are in there or if its just pizza.

One more thing, and its a bit tmi, is anyone else producing milk yet? if i squeeze my nipples i can get a tiny bit out. I'm not even 12 weeks yet!

Metalhead · 12/06/2015 09:13

Congrats on your scan boobs!

I'm also huge already, though I think most of it is still bloat as I seem to expand as the day goes on - first thing in the morning I only have a little bump at the bottom, and by the evening my whole stomach looks like I've swallowed a beach ball. I keep thinking people must either twig or think I've been getting really fat!

I'm doing ok baby, taking it one day at a time. Mostly I manage to stay positive, but I also get at least one moment of panic every day when I'm convinced it's going to be bad news.

I'm not getting any milk yet wonky but my nipples have definitely got bigger!

AmberLav · 12/06/2015 11:45

I had a mumsnet baby group with my second, and there was only one set of twins in that group, so they are still quite uncommon...

Congrats on the scan Boobs!

Metal - thinking of you, it's tough waiting for results at the best of times, I'm still waiting on my risk letter, I'll be happier once I am past Monday as that is roughly when I should hear if it is high risk...

Fizzie100 · 12/06/2015 12:06

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is ok. I've been unable to go to work today as vomming for two hours straight this morning. Goodbye nausea hello sickness eugh! But all part of the course i figure. Face bookers - any chance of reading me! My iPad went mental this morning and deleted my Facebook account so need to rejoin please! Hope everyone is ok.

ThreeBeanRap · 12/06/2015 12:58

Afternoon all, nearly done for the week! Thread 4 already...good work! It's very exciting to be in the second trimester, a third done already.

Fizzle hope you're feeling better soon. Has everyone got nice weekend plans?

afloat · 12/06/2015 14:10

Congrats on the scans and hurrah us for a 4th thread! I'm so sorry to those that are vomming still, maybe that first trimester is clinging on for dear life... Anyone can PM me their email to get a link to the Facebook Group, we're filling up with scan pics :)

Withalittlesparkle · 12/06/2015 15:40

Oh my god I've got the headache from hell!!

As for plans I think we're going to be working more on the big room swap, I know it's early but in order to accommodate a new baby we need to shift round and redecorate 3 rooms!!

chopsface · 12/06/2015 18:21

Weekend plans are cancelled due to new vomming episodes Sad was meant to be getting my hair cut tomorrow as look a wreck and meet with my sister and nieces on Sunday. Gonna spend it in bed instead. The first trimester is definitely not leaving me in a hurry. Don't even have a bump :-(

Fizzie100 · 12/06/2015 18:24

Ah chops I feel for you I am the same, SO sick. Confused Downs screening came back today 1:100,000 so v pleased and relieved. Happy weekend all.

MissMrsMummy · 12/06/2015 19:02

Good news fizzie what a relief!

Sorry some of you are still sick. This is my worst week for nausea (10weeks)

wonky my bump is obvious at work! I can't hide it or hold it in. I've only got 1 baby in there for definite!

WonkyDonkBonk · 12/06/2015 19:36

Fizzie those are some comforting numbers.

MissMrs Good to know you are bumpy too, you made me feel better.

Chops sorry you are still feeling so poorly, it won't last forever even if it feels like it now. I find I am worse when I am more tired. How are you sleeping?

Cheshirehello79 · 12/06/2015 19:40

Hi everyone - 2nd trimester indeed but why have I just feeling sick ( vomiting ) whilst didn't have that on 1st trimester in fact hardly had nausea - I was just very tried . Not fun :-(

ineedsomeinspiration · 13/06/2015 08:12

Morning all, Im 15+2 today and last week and a bit my energy levels have returned. I have been lucky not to be sick but did have nausea which I didn't get first time round.
I haven't got any milk yet and got that podgy rather than bump thing.
Anyone got any inkling what sex they are having?

orangemouth281 · 13/06/2015 08:13

Wonky and MissMrs, I have had two people at work just come out and ask me if I'm expecting again! Apparently because I'm usually so slim so I suppose I should be flattered but I didn't quite know what to say. Imagine if it was just pies!

Sorry to those feeling sick, I've heard week 16 can also be a turning point so fingers crossed you all feel better soon.

We're still undecided what to do with the weekend as the weather is so awful, typical after such a lovely week.

Scan on Tuesday so hopefully I can join the FB group soon.

chopsface · 13/06/2015 08:34

Copied and pasted off fb, sorry.... So my new pills seem to keep the sickness, but not the nausea/lack of appetite away until approx 4pm then the uncontrolled vomming starts again! The past 3 days I've consumed 3 bowls of cheerios, a nectarine, 3 bites of toast and a third of a jacket spud. Tell me how I'm meant to grow a human off this please?! Can't believe this is happening to me!

Cheshire I only had nausea in first 12 weeks too. Now I have suddenly developed HG from nowhere! Apparently it's not meant to start after week 12 but I seem to be the exception to the norm. I'm terrified that I could actually have this for the remainder of my pregnancy. Actually genuinely terrified!

Cheshirehello79 · 13/06/2015 10:01

Chops face - that's what's I'm scarred to :-( what I figured out is every time I take pregcare that's when it starts whilst never had this issue before. Seeing midwife next week my 16 weeks dating scan so I'll ask her - thought 2nd trimester is the best part - not looking good for us so far grrrr!

Metalhead · 13/06/2015 10:43

Oh no chops, I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so rough! (And you too cheshire) I take it you've been to see your doctor/midwife? Could it be that you've just picked up some bug? I really hope you feel better soon.

I'm still getting headaches in the evening and usually in bed by 9pm even though I'm about 14 1/2 weeks now, but I guess with my ridiculously high hcg levels that's not surprising. I'm definitely feeling a little better than I was a couple of weeks ago though.

indeed at my last scan the sonographer said he thinks probably girl, but we'll find out when we get the harmony results.

chopsface · 13/06/2015 10:58

I don't have a temp so GP thinks it's not a bug. It does say online that if severe sickness occurs after 12w there could be another cause though. They sent off a wee sample to the lab to check for uti but the results werent back before end of friday so need to wait til Monday now :-( I'm hoping it's a short-lived phase though! Everything crossed!

When do you get your harmony results back metal? Good luck.

Reminds me, I got my risk back. 1 in 7700 so we are pleased with that :-)
