Jan 2016 #4 - heading for the end of the 1st trimester with dating scans and wacky dreams

[OTheHugeManatee]

New thread! Previous one here.

Oh no manatee. Such sad news. Hope you have lots of RL support.

Frozen Can I ask which doppler you have? I've looked at a few online but no idea which ones are meant to be good, plus I don't want to spend a fortune.

So so sorry Manatee, please take care

Oh manatee I'm so sorry. Look after yourself. There are some lovely women on the mc boards if you want to chat with someone who understands what you're going through. Take each day as it comes and look after yourself and DH xxx

I'm so sorry manatee xxxx

So sorry manatee

Thinking of you x

Oh Manatee so sorry. . There is nothing to say that can lessen the pain, but take it easy and be kind to yourself xxxx

No nausea today either just constant hunger and feeling whacked. Awful stressful day at work though. I'm 8+3 do we think it's ok that the nausea has abated?!?

So sorry to hear your news manatee. Thinking of you. Hope you have lots of support in RL

So sorry Manatee. Take care of yourself xx

So sorry to hear that Manatee take care xxx

Pugmum, I think it's fine. I'm 8+1 today and from 5 weeks up until a few days ago I've had HG, was hospitalised for a night as couldn't keep any food/fluid down.. It's got a lot better now but I think that's due to the placenta starting to take over x

I'm 8+5 and still struggling with nausea and vomiting but have the odd day where I feel quite perky! Today was hideous, got sent home from work sick.

Had some bad news this evening, OH's lovely grandma is in hospital in a really bad way - we wanted to keep our news quiet until 12 weeks before we told anyone beyond our parents/siblings but we've decided his Mum can tell her now as she needs some cheering up, and if the worst happens, at least she knew about the pregnancy.

Manatee If you check back on this thread at any point, I've been thinking about you all evening. I really hope you're as well as you can be and am just so sorry for your loss after everything.

Watermelon, who suggested that? Amazing! Thank you.

I'm 10+3, utterly exhausted and weepy, v nauseous....but have had a couple of afternoons this week where I felt good - no sickness, lots of energy....I'm hoping that's a hint of what's to come.

But for tonight, it's all about an early night. Night night all!

I've not felt sick/been sick at all since dinner time if feels great! im not worried as i know it will be back as its very intermittent and this happens every few days.. normally im averaging 9 sessions of vomiting each day boobs are like super tender and my nipples are killing it felt like they were on fire last night! but i wouldn't change any of this for the world

(((Manatee))) I'm so so sorry to hear that, wishing you the best, very gentle hugs and much love

Watermelon was my suggestion!! Have just had my second day "on the melon" and its the best I've felt in a couple of weeks :)

Watermelon is definitely a winner! Also enjoying tinned pears. I'm 9 weeks today by LMP (I reckon closer to 8+5) and have felt much more human the last two days after a truly hideous start to the week. Lucky enough not to have actually thrown up (haven't since I was 17!) but general nausea and feeling crappy has been constant for the last week. Have still been feeling sick all day today but have lots more energy and can totally cope with the nausea so here's hoping for more of the same (and that it's and good sign)!

I've had some really sharp pains all day but they're intermittent, brief and I'm not bleeding so hoping it's just usual stretching stuff.

Hope those of you feeling awful have better days tomorrow and for those starting to perk up, I hope that continues!

So sorry manatee .... I found the MC boards a real support when I had mine in December!! Thinking of you tonight and hope you have lots of support

Glad other people are starting to feel better!! I have felt so good that I went to running club tonight .... Now I'm all nauseous again!! Wish the gummy bear would make up its mind how it wants me to feel!! Keep burping too .... I thought oregnancy was supposed to be beautiful!!!!

manatee I'm so so sorry. So devastated for you. Hugs for you and your DH.

maybe- i have the angelsounds doppler was £20 ebay. Worth getting the extra gel if on offer as it's addictive, is it your first pregnancy? In which case I would wait till u have had a professional one first and u know what it sounds like. Also the baby is sooo low, just above pubic bone, at times I can't find it at all or just for a few seconds then nothing. I know it's early so it doesn't bother me but u need to be like that too. Hope that helps

frozen Thanks for the info. Ooh we are up early this morning!

I was going to just wait until after my scan, but just a few days before one of my friends is visiting from London (usually involving lots of wine) and on the same day my brother-in-law is having a birthday party (involving lots of alcohol). I'd love to check for a heartbeat and then be less concerned about the secret coming out too soon. If only they could have waited until the weekend after, aargh!

If I don't tell them, my plan for the party is to get an empty wine bottle from my mum and fill it with the non-alcoholic stuff! Otherwise I really don't know what to do.

Oh and yes it's my first.

maybe as frozen said it's quite difficult to recognise the heartbeat and one of the reasons why at most booking in appointments (which are meant to be at about 10 weeks) they don't bother to try as it can cause more stress than reassurance.

Scan this morning (early one, I'm just over 10 weeks) and I'm terrified! Fingers crossed for a good outcome this time.

Good luck with your scan brickie. We are going for a scan this morning too due to more bleeding during this week. Fingers crossed all is still ok.

I've never had a doopler at home for any of my pregnancies but I think I'll have a look on eBay. It could get quite addictive though

brickie and sweetpea good luck for your scans.

TFI Friday. Have felt marginally better the last few days, although nausea still constant I can actually manage food, and constant eating helps the nausea. Will need to try watermelon - I was craving melon earlier so a good excuse. Skittles and jelly babies are also helping me

I cannot tell you how excited I am for a weekend of doing nothing! The fatigue has been really bad this week so I am excited about all the potential nap time!

Snap Kep here's to a weekend of nothing. Roll on five o'clock.

Brickie and sweet pea hope your scans go well today. Fx

Babybaby "on the melon" LOL I need another day of it but used up my supply yesterday. Where can I buy a plastic container of watermelon sticks? There were only 4 in my box yesterday and mixed with other melon and mango (urrggggh, definitely not going to be able to eat the mango!). Forget Gaviscon on prescription, it should be these watermelon lovelies.
