oooo i so recommend it.. plunging into cold water and feeling totally weightless is amazing..

its getting out after thats awful!!

BananaRaces · 01/07/2015 13:23

I'm in work but feeling so damn sick it's untrue, even moving my head makes me feel like I'm going to vom. Trying really hard not to go home early but it's so hard when all I want to do is lie on the sofa and feel sorry for myself. I feel really rubbish, really really rubbish. (Sorry for the self-pitying whine)

Spanoo · 01/07/2015 13:39

Oh banana races! How many weeks are you? I'm dreading getting to that stage! Hope you get to go home and lie on the sofa soon. Can you ask to go home early?

primary I used to do a lot of swimming and def going to take it up again. I'm heading to yoga this afternoon - I know you have to be careful with yoga but this is a reeeeaaaaly gentle one. Just might be a bit gross in the heat!

BananaRaces · 01/07/2015 13:45

I'm only just over 7 weeks Confused, the nausea really kicked in on Saturday and it's been getting a bit worse everyday since. Today it's awful. I might have to ask if I can leave at 4 or something. Thanks for the sympathy Smile, I know some ladies have it much worse.

I bought some seasickness bands on the way home yesterday but they don't seem to be doing much (unless actually they are and if I took them off it would be even worse)!! Shock

Congratulations on the lovely scans. I'm pleased all is going well.

There's been only a touch more blood this morning, but it was old blood and the doctor that performed the internal on Monday did say that she could see that was more to come out.

DP will not hear of the fact that there may be a negative outcome to the scan tomorrow. He is clinging on to the doctors optimism and won't have his way of thinking swayed.
Me, I am expecting the worst but hoping for the best. There are moments when DP's optimism rubs off on me but then I force myself to start thinking realistically again.
I am still feeling sick though and feeling tired constantly - all good signs. I also done another test yesterday which was a positive, though I knew it would be as the hormones can hang around for a while.

It does amaze me that the hospital protocol is so different between areas. I begged for a scan on Monday, pleaded for reassurance or confirmation yet got told that my Thursday appointment was the earliest. If I had feigned pain on either side though, which would have indicated an eptopic, I would have been scanned the same day. Obviously I understand that an eptopic is very serious, but it does show that the ultrasound scanner can be made available.
Nevermind, I'll find out one way or the other tomorrow.

NoMontagues · 01/07/2015 14:21

Congrats scan people!! Smile Smile

I am waking up exhausted every day due to the mental dreams. Last's night's one involved being given the task of clearing out the attic of Balmoral which was full of junk that Prince Charles had put in it Confused

I was under pressure to get it done before the Queen came to check it! WTAF? Bear in mind I'm Irish and don't really follow the royal family or have much of a clue about them.

My brain is a strange place these days.

AbFab86 · 01/07/2015 14:24

Another good scan! Saw its little heart flickering away and heard it beat. Over the moon :)

NoMontagues · 01/07/2015 14:26

Oh Ab that's fantastic.

Congrats!

monkerina · 01/07/2015 14:27

Yay congrats Abfab! Have clearly completely lost the plot and forgotten who's getting scanned when, shall claim baby brain. Lovely pic Smile

HarimadSol · 01/07/2015 14:33

Hi, everyone! Joining in, if I may. Due on 26 Feb with DC2. DD will be 17 months when this one is born, if all goes well. So far, so good. Mild nausea and sore boobs (still breastfeeding, ouch). Tired and hungry, of course. I'm waiting to hear from the midwife about when my booking appointment will be. Seems like a long time until the 12 week scan!

HerewegoagainRound4 · 01/07/2015 14:37

Hi Harimadsol Smile congratulations xx

Pogmella · 01/07/2015 15:37

Hi all, just to reassure others I've had hardly any symptoms apart from being like a dormouse (keen to stuff my face all day and snooze a lot), and occasional mild nausea (no vom, not even close). Also my boobs stopped hurting a few days ago.

BUT had a lovely scan yesterday morning and found out we're a bit further along than we thought with a little heart beating away Smile so it really does vary x

RattyCatty · 01/07/2015 16:07

Such lovely news on scans ladies Grin

WouldRatherHaveCake · 01/07/2015 16:15

Congrats on the scans ladies!

I'm feeling really jealous of all the beautiful early scans. The thought of having to wait another 6 weeks to find out if all is well makes me want to cry!

Rufus200 · 01/07/2015 16:29

Congrats to everyone with their scans and HBs

MayFlowers16 · 01/07/2015 16:59

Really liking all the good news today Smile

Nice dream NoMontagues Grin

Feeling blurgh. It's too hot, I feel sick, my hayfever is at its worst and I'm so tired from not sleeping properly due to all of the above. BUT I am pregnant and that trumps everything Smile

Boobear1983 · 01/07/2015 17:44

Yay for all the wonderful scans! Grin

Raaaaaah · 01/07/2015 17:49

Excellent news ladies. So pleased for you all.

Jelly I'm glad your DH is so positive. All your signs and symptoms do sound reassuring. There should be some nationally agreed protocol as to what merits scanning. The current system rather encourages people to fib.

Swimming is my saviour at the moment. Sweltering in london. We are really fortunate to be near an outdoor pool though it was heaving today.

SweetCharlotteRose · 01/07/2015 17:58

Congratulations on all the happy scan news!

I have made the error of blowing up the paddling pool. It nearly killed me. In fact I think it still might. It is a zillion degrees and took about an hour to inflate whilst ds helpfully said 'is it done yet?' over and over again on loop.

Spanoo · 01/07/2015 18:03

Glad everyone is doing so well! rah I tried to go for a swim outside today in London - no chance queue was massive! Wish we had some kind of pregnancy priority!

Saltedcaramel2014 · 01/07/2015 18:04

Joining, if that's ok? Will be DC 2, my son's just turned two. Due Feb 24. Just opted not to blow up paddle pool, which by the sounds of things may have been a good idea. Currently 'encouraging independent play' while lying on the sofa

mygreeneyedboy · 01/07/2015 18:41

That's my aim at the moment saltedcaramel ! Independent play whilst I lie on the sofa.

I'm joining and saying hi :) due date is 22nd Feb (so 6weeks) DS is 18 months at the moment (2y2m in February) - currently have bad morning sickness, on cyclizine as I was hospitalised with hyperemesis with DS last time round.

Raaaaaah · 01/07/2015 19:03

Hi Salted and greenboy. I cannot imagine having bad morning sickness in this weather, you poor, poor thing. Do you have any help?

spanoo, I went as soon as I had done nursery/school drop. The queue was massive this afternoon. It's a shame as the kids could have done with a dip.

mygreeneyedboy · 01/07/2015 19:20

Thank you raaaah my mum has taken DS to her exercise class!!! My own grandparents are coming tomorrow afternoon (although they current don't know), - DP has long rigid work hours - and then we're off on holiday Friday. So I'll be a real bum on holiday but at least DS will be okay.

HerewegoagainRound4 · 01/07/2015 19:27

Welcome caramel and greeneyedboy. Caramel we're due on the same day according to dates atm.
