April 2016 babies. Nausea, bloating and wind - feeling HOT!

[Definitelysometime]

Thread two ladies. Hopefully this one will see us through into the long awaited second tri...

I am going to rhinny already do with the pta and have the forms for volunteering which I can to April at least, before this preg my plan was to train as a ta!

So so sorry spotted. Look after yourself

So sorry to hear that spotted.

Still feeling SO queasy. What are you all doing to keep it at bay? There's only so much ginger and peppermint teas I can have. I'm also not sure if I want to feed or starve the nausea!

I'm so sorry spotted please be kind to yourself over the next little while, hope you've got lots of people to support you.

Oh spotted, what sad news. I'm so sorry. Take care of yourself. Big squeeze of your lovely DD x

I had my early scan this morning - little baby looked great and measuring pretty much bang on dates. Such a morale booster when I've been feeling so sick. I can do this!

Tip for you ladies - marmite is heaven sent! I know this will only help half of you as other half will hate marmite but as a marmite lover since being a child I have discovered it cures my ms almost instantly it is full of B vitamin but seriously and ok 4 pieces of toast but an hour ago I was heaving now I could take on the world!

I graduated from nausea to vomiting yesterday, and so far haven't been able to keep anything down at all. Have just been nibbling a ginger biscuit, hopefully that will keep the sickness at bay! Sadly am a marmite hater, askboo, or I'd try that!

I am a marmite hater but actually tempted to try it as I feel so awful today, have actually been back to bed for a bit but I still feel like crap, so so nauseous and I have a head ache as well, not fun at all. But it is all worth it in the end, this however will most def be my last baby! Ignoring the fact I said the same for numbers four and five

And Yay for lovely baby scans, great news definitely :)

My scan is the 21st so not too long to wait.

Sorry to hear your news Spotted. And yay Definitely, lovely scan news.

I had my booking in this morning with the same lovely midwife who's looked after me the last two times. Just got to wait for my scan date now (and hope I get that far this time).

madthings request yr 1

I'm off to the docs just before 5:30, wish me luck things start to move along xx

Hi ladies, just a quick note

I might end up having to pop over to the March thread as just been to the dr's and rather than do another test she had a feel, couldn't feel anything but did a lil listen and heard the heartbeat which she said I would not hear til about 12/13 weeks

So now I have to go to work next week and say I will have to be late next Monday due to doctors but it's a case of do I tell them why or wait for a scan then say....don't know what to do

Great scan news definitely glad it's given you a boost.

rinnyx glad you've been seen. Re: work, you don't have to go into detail, just say you've been asked to return to the Dr on Monday morning so you'll be in late?

Thanks Glitter I hope they will understand if I say that's the only time they had as it really was, wouldn't even let me go to hospital, I have to see a midwife at that doctors...
It's the hour long midwife app

Can't believe I've heard the heartbeat before I've even seen baby on the scan

Has anyone else lost their appetite? I'm not nauseous or throwing up but have barely any appetite. I've just forced down four crackers, some cheese and a plum to keep going

I'm so tired and headachy too

Carrot my back is starting to play up already, I fear my siatica is going to get me twofold this pregnancy :(

Anyone at that awkward stay yet where normal clothes are starting to get to tight or won't do up and maternity closes are still to big?
I went and tried on some bottoms in H&M today but I'm just not there yet to start filling it out

I bought a few pairs of trousers in the next size up, but by the end of the day they are tight round my middle.

Most comfortable by far are leggings with tunics, but I can't wear that to work, so I have bought a pair of silky, swishy trousers with an elasticated waist - they are as comfy as PJs.

Really surprised I haven't been sussed as I'm dressing completely different to how I normally do and I look pregnant!

Bump bands or hair bobbles to keep your trousers up without needing to fasten them and long tops.

I'm just so hecticly busy and exhausted. I just want to sleep and sleep

Rinnyx Totally at that stage here. Have 2 pairs of maternity jeans and a few long tops, but most of my normal jeans are a bit uncomfortable now. I'm 11+5 as of Sunday and definitely have a little bump.

I'm at that stage too. I'm 9+1. It's DC2 so I'll probably expand faster this time. Am mainly stressing about what to wear for the remainder of the weddings we have...had one yesterday and wore a normal dress (all my dresses annoyingly are 50s style with nipped in tiny waists!) and it was ok, slightly tight after the meal but fine. Next wedding I'll be 12 weeks so may or may not get away with it, following one I'll be 15 weeks. Argh! I don't know what to wear - I've seen some nice maternity occasion dresses but just dont think I'll be big enough to fill them out properly.

I can't find any nice normal empire line dresses, which might solve things. Just wish I could get past this looking a bit fat and bloated stage and have a proper bump!

Carrot I had belly bands last time from Morhercare but our store is closing and new one not opening til 17th I think

Tri I'm big already I think, that's why I want this scan already so I can come clean with work and tell them my due date and so I finally know too.
The only place I can go for clothes without Morhercare open is H&M and new look and they have a very limited selection.
H&M seemed to have every size but mine

Wax try eBay, I got a lovely maternity dress by next for £10, granted I was 7-8 months by the wedding but I didn't want to pay £££ to wear a dress for just one day

Do you have a Debenhams, rinnyx? That's where I got mine last time

Had a right rollercoaster in the last 24 hours. Started bleeding yesterday at about 12pm (I was 6w4d pregnant yesterday), bright red blood, which is the one everyone tells you is the bad one! Absolutely terrified so called the EPU immediately, but they stop doing scans at noon at the weekends so they couldn't see me until the next morning. To top it all off this happened about 2 hours before we were due at a friend's wedding, so I hadn't gotten ready, but made the snap decision to just go because otherwise we'd just be sitting at home feeling sorry for ourselves. So queue some speed ironing while doing my makeup and trying not to cry! The wedding was lovely, absolutely beautiful and really took our minds off everything. I did bleed all night, probably filled about 4 liners so was pretty sure it must be all over. Luckily I was driving so didn't hit the booze in despair! The bleeding tailed off when I got home at about 10pm, so had a restless nights sleep.

This morning we FINALLY had a scan at EPU, saw a nurse first and went through everything that had happened and then had a scan with the radiographer. It was odd for me because they asked me to come with a full bladder, whereas having gone through IVF I'm used to having internal scans (I have a scan booked at 7 weeks which will be internal). I didn't think they'd be able to see anything and would have to do an internal scan, but when she started scanning I could see something in my uterus straight away, so I knew that there was still hope. Then she zoomed in and told us that should could see a lovely heartbeat, and pointed it out for us, and there is was fluttering away! She said it measured 5mm which was right for my dates and the heartbeat was the right speed. My bleeding was caused by bruising in my womb, which is apparently very normal. It's sort of delayed implantation bleeding she said, but nothing to worry about. I have to admit I was so relived I cried!

After that we saw a midwife who reassured us a little more then congratulated us and sent us home!

So yeah... An eventful 24 hours indeed!
