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...

Hi all,

I haven't posted here for three weeks so I'm probably new all over again! Been on hols and settling back into work. Frustratingly for the past weeks I've had bad nausea, some sickness and fainting too. Adding jet lag to that and I've just wanted to stay in bed!

Enough feeling sorry for myself though. I haven't caught up with everything here but I've read a few pages and I'm so sorry to everyone going through a tough time, it really puts everything into perspective.

Right now I'm 10+6, had booking appointment yesterday and scan is next Friday. Feeling cautious.

Have a good day all

FX crossed for a more positive result next time raspberry

Sophia it sounds like you're in a tough place at the moment and you should be wherever you feel supported (as long as other people's updates don't make you worse). That being said I found the TTC after MC threads in Conception a life saver after my MCs. If you find it challenging being here at time the I totally recommend it. I still post there to support others.

When we're all over the place with hormones and different experiences we probably all need to take a moment to think about how our posts might be received by others as a sort of mutual support mechanism.

Welcome back london - good holiday?

Rinnyx I found the shoes I wore to make a huge difference to my back pain last time. Any chance you could wear trainers or something for gate duty?

Sickness bags all round! wound your car sickness sounds awful! By week 12 we should all be feeling much better (so I am promised!).

CarrotV I hope you survive the sister visit, I can??t manage going to sleep after 10 so am in bed by 9ish most nights. Wahoo for mc risk drop!

Tri congrats on booking in and good luck for your scan Friday

Raspberry keeping everything crossed for you, how many weeks should you be?

Ample sorry you??re feeling so pants, I hope you feel better soon, catch up on your sleep. I felt really terrible during week 7 and struggled to not quit my job as I felt I couldn??t go on (very dramatic) but I am feeling more human now. Try getting some anti sickness stuff from the Drs, my mw said if I start being really sick then to head straight for the drugs to make sure baby is getting enough to grow.

Welcome Peanut and congratulations!

poco funny story! I use it so I no longer have to pick up the dog poo in the garden, plus last night he brought me snacks in bed

Sophia it does take time to get over a mc, especially if your DH is no longer sure he wants children, I had a lot of support on the TTC after mc thread (as did CarrotV) and that may be a good place for you to voice your concerns/tears as I do understand ashboos point about it being a funny place to talk about the morning after pill when some of the women here have really struggled to get and stay pregnant this time around. But if you feel comfortable here with the preggers that??s fine too. I stuck around with some pregnant ones until I naturally progressed to the mc threads and you will too.

London I have also been away on holiday and a little break from MN, hope you had a nice holiday. Sorry you??re feeling so rubbish though.

Just had a dating scan and saw baby's heartbeat. Very exciting stuff, makes it all seem real! At least this nausea isn't for nothing. Measuring 3 days smaller than I calculated, so have a due date of 27 April instead of 24.
It wasn't the most pleasant of experiences - I get really panicky when I can't get to the loo, so having to have a full bladder, plus an extra 30 minute wait, made me quite stressed!

I'm dealing with some monster work crises as well. I am a stress ball on wheels

Pingoose how lovely, it's great seeing the heartbeat.

Thanks mummy I'll look in to that with the Dr. I've booked the rest of the week off work as I feel so rubbish and everything was just swimming on the screen in front of me yesterday. Luckily my boss is very understanding and sympathetic, but I'm stressed about it as I've only been in the job since April (although been in the company over a decade) and it was a great promotion I had worked really hard for, and now I feel like I'm doing a rubbish job. I really don't want them to regret taking me on.

On a positive note, DH, dd and I have a booked a few days away next weekend for dd's 2nd birthday. Just a caravan park, but I'm looking forward to being with dd for 4 whole days, which she (and we) will love.

Just hopping back on after a full on few weeks with nerves and anxiety. Can't wait for my scan on the 23/09 but I'm so scared too. Don't remember feeling like this the first time.

I have everything crossed for you raspberry.

to those struggling at the moment. Sophia thinking of you and I hope you get all the support which you need.

Congrats on your scan pingoose.

Carrot I don't think I'm allowed cause of the whole 'representing' the school
Will need to sort something as seems I'm going to have to do it every other week

Representing the school? Nonsense! Surely they'd understand if you had a quiet word or handed in a note explaining your back trouble? I can't see how they can refuse.

Finally have a booking appointment after 4 weeks of phone calls/messages/nagging! It's next Thurs. After that I'll get an appt date for my scan.

Nausea has completely vanished! So has bloating. Relieved but also a bit worried. I am trying not to worry though! Seeing my baby on the scan will put my mind at rest, but until then it's hard not to overthink everything.

My emotions have been all over the place today! I've been over sensitive and also snapped at a couple of my colleagues, which I never do, then felt guilty about it all day.

Spending time away with your DD and DH sounds lovely Raspberries.

7+4, and told work today. Very early but (for reasons I don't want to say, sorry) I felt it was necessary. They were supportive and agreed it was right to tell at this stage, but I know it's a real hassle and I can't help feeling guilty . Which I know is stupid. Ugh. Really feeling down and pretty much useless.

Mummy
I felt really terrible during week 7 and struggled to not quit my job as I felt I couldn??t go on
That's so reassuring! Glad it's not just me. I feel totally incapable of doing anything, let alone doing it reasonably well, at the moment. Massively struggling with workload. I just want to sleep! Just hope it will pass soon...

FX Raspberry

Welcome Peanut

Ashboo of course stick around sweetie

Sophia sorry you're going through such a tough time. It is definitely a time when you need support, and if you don't feel like you're getting that at home, like PPs have said, look into the services around you. As well as on MN of course.

Hi ladies,
I hope you don't mind me joining your thread :) I am 7+6 due 21st April.
I've been lurking on here for a while, but had a stressful couple of weeks of on/off bleeding so hesitant to join, especially after a previous mc. However a scan yesterday showed everything is looking ok, heart beating away :)

I am feeling exhausted these last few days, light headed and achy like I'm constantly coming down with something. However I have seemed to escape sickness so far, fx! I hope everyone is enjoying their pregnancies so far and you don't feel too unwell .

Pallas it will pass soon. I'm 9+6 and have been feeling so much better for the past couple of days. I struggled so much from week 6 and most of the times I had no energy to even sit down and the nausea made me feel worse.

Congratulations and welcome peanut and cherry.

I'm 10+3 now and the sickness is really setting in, I feel really nauseous a lot if the time and wake up in the early hours feeling awful. The only thing that staves it off is eating. Had to undo my jeans today, very tight and I just look large rather than pregnant! Really want to avoid piling on all the weight as I've shamefully not lost it all from last time yet. My nausea lasted a long time with DD, around 16 weeks!

My DD randomly asked for a brother or sister for her 3rd birthday today - she doesn't know I'm pregnant!

Pallas I had to tell my work quite early and they were very nice about it but I do worry. Had to tell them for a couple of reasons related to projects I manage and it felt right to do so. I worry about maternity leave impacting my career, I didn't really take one last time (different company).

Thanks ashboo :-) I'm really sorry if I upset anyone. It was insensitive of me but I was in a right panic as I was on work away day trying to hide being upset from everyone.
Hope you are all doing well xx

Have they done a pregnancy risk assessment rinny - raise it as an issue there and it's a totally a reasonable adjustment

I'm dreading telling work pallas. We've got someone going on mat leave at Christmas and we're really stretched. I'm also a PM salty

Welcome cherry and peanut

Evening ladies, just catching up welcome peanut & cherry.

Nice to see you back mummy dizzy & london

Big hugs to you sophia it's a horrible thing to go through and you're bound to be a bit all over the place for a while but know this, you'll work your way through it and get to the other side.

Funny what a few of you have said about week 7 I think that was the week I went home early from work every afternoon and got into bed at 3pm with exhaustion & nausea! Feel a lot better than that now!

I've had a mega stressful week at work so even more tired than usual my anxiety is through the roof now and still got a whole 14 days until my 12 week scan......honestly considering another private scan to settle myself down - but that's just bonkers, right?!!

The anxiety is truly awful glitter. I didn't go for an early scan and for the past few days I've been questioning whether I've done the right thing. I'll be a nervous wreck at my 12 week scan.

Good luck to those telling work. Hopefully everything will be ok and they'll take it well.

Anxiety is awful in early pregnancy - I was so naive when, after years of fertility treatment, I got my first BFP and thought we'd done it! All that effort and we were going to finally be parents.

Sorry if this scares anyone and please stop reading if you are especially nervous ...

Early scans only tell you everything is okay at that moment in time. My last pregnancy I had a 6 and 8 week scan, both were fine, right size with a heartbeat. I miscarried a few days after the eight week scan. Yes, it is really nice to have an early scan and I'm lucky to get them every two weeks (or unlucky with my medical history) but they don't really reassure me for more than a few days. It's two weeks since my last one, I'm suffering from sickness and fatigue but I'm still obsessed with knicker checks. I felt a trickle of sweat down there and almost had a meltdown I was miscarrying the other day until I got to a loo!

I'm just a bit of a head case at the moment trying not to obsess that it's all going to go wrong and DH and I still say, if we have a baby next year rather than talk about having a baby in April.

I didn't lose the anxiety until after the 20 week scan so over half way there now (just). Then it came back at 35 weeks to the point I saw my consultant and begged him in floods of tears to get the baby out as it wasn't safe in me (he made me wait another three weeks)!

It doesn't help not having many people to talk to about it at the moment. :(

Sorry, hope my post doesn't trigger anxiety in anyone else.

I am taking 6 months this time which will be the most time I have taken after my first 2 DC. The one silver lining is that it is a good time for me to be having a baby.

I have my genetic blood tests on Friday and I am not looking forward to it. They take what feels like a million and one vials and don't tell me the sex of the baby until I go for my scan at 18 weeks.

DH leaves for work on Friday night as no seats on the Saturday night flight. He has an 8 hour lay over in Frankfurt on Saturday so has arranged to meet up with friends of ours who I miss terribly. Im exhausted and its Wednesday.

She told me she would have to do a health& safety thing when I told her Monday Carrot but I've not heard anything since.
The was confusion with buses yesterday so I had to do the 30min walk home from city (2nd bus) once again my back was killing me.

I'm on gate duty & I think break duty today so that will be interesting

dizzy I think with early scans you're damned if you do and damned if you don't - the two I've already had have been incredibly reassuring but for me it hasn't stopped the anxiety which strikes randomly out of the blue and doesn't respond to reason and logic! I'm just trying to remind myself of the statistics all the time, the overwhelming probability is that we'll be absolutely fine......

salty I can totally empathise, it's just truly horrible sometimes, most days I'm fine but every now and again I get a day where every twinge or pang or odd feeling has me gripped with fear dashing to the toilet and poking my boobs to see if they are still sore!! We'll get there, one day at a time.

Good luck with you blood tests on Friday want2be

8 weeks tomorrow and I have my follow up scan - extremely nervous and praying baby has grown. So emotional atm, anyone else really just wanting to pack everything in? Struggling to cope with my DD and I feel like a rubbish mum

Me too :( I'm 9+5 and just feeling progressively worse. I feel like a rubbish mum as I just can't do much - spending far too much time cuddling DD in front of Peppa Pig. Yesterday we had to walk to the supermarket and then came back via the park and it nearly killed me - genuinely thought I was going to vom in the aisle.

I don't enjoy my job anyway and am pretty demotivated, but trying to work when I feel so rough is just hideous. I'm so much luckier than other ladies here - at least I'm not on my feet all day. It's an office job. But literally everyone in my team has just quit or gone off with stress in the last 2 weeks - there's just me, my boss and one other left in a team of 12. I'm really good at my job and don't take the piss at all, but my boss just asked to see my leave chart - I'm quite senior so not the done thing but she obv thinks I'm taking the piss. I'm not. I've got very detailed records to show I'm not, which I've sent her.

Now I'm just majorly pissed off, even more demotivated, and even less willing to drag myself in feeling like shit. Fuck em, very tempted to just go off sick.

Hope you're ok crumblybiscuits - really good luck for the scan xx
