March 2016 #4 - entering the second trimester at last and (hopefully) waving goodbye to sickness

[marmitemofo]

started a new thread as the old one was getting full up. Thought I would post the link to stats here too so people can update if they want!

Adora am so sorry about your heads reaction

sher that's awful! I can't believe people reacted that way, and you were clearly shaken up too and had your kids in the car... what monsters. I doubt it made the cyclist feel better either. She wasn't hurt, just remember that. What a horrible shock for you. I crashed into another car on a roundabout back in May, completely my fault and nobody was hurt but my poor little car was written off as it was so ancient, it was so horrible and I cried all the way home on the train, and my anxiety was through the roof for weeks after, not sleeping etc. I know it's easier said than done but please don't beat yourself up about it.

Sher that's awful. Accidents happen, that was unfortunate but everyone's physically fine. Are you in London? The roads are nuts there, I was scared for my life when I walked there let alone drove or cycled!

But people's reactions were unforgivable. You did not deserve that. People are such morons. I'm embarrassed to be associated with them.

I hope you can feel better. It wasn't your fault and you definitely didn't deserve that reaction (no one would, even if they had mowed someone down what's it got to do with people's perception of your religion?).

I feel like this is a clumsy post, but I hope you get what I mean. I know you'll feel terrible but, it was an accident. Accidents happen. xx

sher. Accidents happen to the best of us, I would too but try not to beat yourself up about it too much. No major harm done.

Had the most awful night's sleep. We had a takeaway pizza for dinner which I did eat too much of but felt ok when I went to bed, however about an hour after going to sleep I woke up choking on my own vomit it was horrible and I took ages to feel better, then managed to get a couple of hours but then woke up again feeling really achey all over, so another few hours awake and tossing and turning. Thankfully I feel fine this morning but I am going to be so tired at work today

Oh sher you poor thing. I can't believe people reacted in that way. Totally disgusting. It's not like you got out, swore at the cyclist for being in your way and then drove off without a backward glance. These things happen to us all when driving. In fact I nearly hit a cyclist the other night, as he jumped a red light. Take care of yourself and try to focus on your baby x

ff yay for a good scan for you too! I'm well jel you get the harmony test. It's soo expensive over here.

me I too keep waking up gagging on vomit or bile. It's horrible. Last night I woke at 3.30 for a wee and didn't get back to sleep until half an hour before my alarm went. As a result I now can't move without retching so have called into work sick. The nausea seems worse if anything. Surely it's meant to be getting better now?!

Re movements, I swear I can feel the odd one and also did with DD at this stage. I know you're not meant to be able to, but am positive I have some flutterings! Or maybe I just have an over active imagination...

Dp keeps waking me up in the night as I've got into the habit of rolling onto my back in My sleep and he's read that it's not good for the baby - argh. Can I punch him? I just want to be comfortable.

sherz what absoloutly disgusting behaviour, not one person asked how you were? I hate the mob mentality of people and am so glad that I know I'd have the confidence to have stepped forward, sat you down and spoken to you to calm you down. I drove into another car once, then proceeded to have a panic attack about it - the lady I hit was so nice to me (until about 3 months later when I got a claim through for 6k ha!)
I really hope you're ok, please don't let it scare you from driving. People suck.

Sher, what a shame! for you. Take care of yourself and your little ones. These things happen to the best of us, shocking at how some people react!

Me That's it you're my scan buddy too haha and our 16 week appointments are close too :) mine is on the 21st only two days before you, can't wait to hear my munchkin's heartbeat!

My 16 week scan was booked during my booking appointment on the 3rd August and my 20 week scan was booked after my 12 week scan automatically!

Paper Congratulations :) we are due date buddies!! I know you will be induced but at least we're at the same stage now :) Enjoy your honeymoon!!

Beautiful good luck today, keep us updated :)

ffaux gorgeous scan picture :) I also couldn't believe it when I saw baby having a party in there I thought how can I not feel all this movement?!

sher I hope you're okay, I'm actually disgusted on how people react there is not excuse seriously!! Driving in London is horrible people are so angry its unreal :(

I hope you don't mind girls but I added a '20 Week Scan Date'' column on our excel sheet! :)

Oo rosie where is the stats sheet? Don't think I'm on it!

Thanks for taking over that stats sheet rosie when I created it I got so confused as online excel baffled the life out of me haha.

Hullo again- just popped in to have a wee look to see how folk were. Totally shocked at what happened to sher. I feel like giving you a big hug, what a horrible thing to happen! Please give yourself a break, people make mistakes all the time on the road, and you sound very responsible and caring. Please stop beating yourself up about it- you know you'll be more careful in future. I am a cyclist myself (still cycling as my main form as transport, plan to for another couple of months at least). Can I please absolve you on behalf of my fellow cyclists?

As for the idiots who thought yelling racist abuse at someone in shock was somehow helpful, I am not sure I can trust myself to articulate how I feel about them without breaking the keys on my keyboard. I am constantly ashamed at how stupid people in this country can be: must we really share our nationality with them? Ugh.

Crispy it's just underneath the thread title there's the link just in case :)

Q no problem thank you for creating it in the first place :) I just thought as most of us got our 20 weeks scan dates through then we might as well add something on there about it!

so sorry to hear about your horrible experience sher, actually shocked people can behave that way . hope you're ok. some people are such arseholes .

yay for adding 20 week scan date to the stats I've added mine. 6 weeks to go!

today I feel like an actual human being again instead of a tired, sick, fat blob. Enjoying it while it lasts. With DD I think I felt better around now and had a mini relapse around 15/16 weeks. FX this is it now! DP is away this week so having to cope with the nursery run etc with DD alone - really could do with not feeling like crap.

My sixteen week appointment was booked at my booking in app at eight weeks along with my dating scan. Mine is 8th October. I feel so behind most of you girls on here. I have an anterior placenta as well so doubt I will hear the heartbeat or feel movements to much later. Bit gutted about that.

Sher - hope you and your children are ok. Terrible way people reacted.

Dating scan for me today, 12+5. Dreading it. Had a 5mm nt a week ago so I'm so so scared :(

Ginger good luck today hun what time is the scan?

Thanks. It's at 2pm x

Ginger fingers crossed for you hun x

Hi all,

A new poster here :) I was recommended these threads by a friend of mine so thought i'd pop in! This is my first baby so I'm feeling totally overwhelmed by everything and the various choices that are available. We're waiting to tell everyone until we have our genetic testing results back next week.

I'm due 26.3.16. Everything seems to be going well now the nausea has subsided!

Hope to stick around and see how you're all getting on

good luck ginger bit late but hope the scan went well. FX for you.

welcome emmy

Thanks for the welcome Marmite!

So sorry to hear what happened to you and your children sher - really hope you're all O.K!

Hoping all went ok with your scan too ginger.

Can we start getting excited about the weekend yet? Work today is reallyyyyy draggingggg I just want to crawl back into bed!

Welcome emmy :)

jules I can't wait for the weekend this week has been dragging like you said and I feel like death I wish I could have a power nap right now soooo tired :'( two more days!!!

Welcome on board Emmy

Sher that is shocking how the crowd reacted. I hope you're feeling better now.

Is anyone else getting headaches? I'm getting them about every other day now and they last all day. Im trying to hold off taking paracetamol but I think will have to next week when I'm back at work.

Thanks everyone.
Well baby was having a right old party today wouldn't stay still for ages. So funny.
Dated at 12+4. Due date 19th March.
When I saw Lady measuring the fluid I mentioned that it was high last week she said " who told you that, it's within the normal range" I told her we had a private scan at 11+4 and she said it was irresponsible to tell me that at such gestation and that the fluid was measuring 2.6mm how. Fantastic news.
We then went upstairs for the bloods and I told the lady about the private scan, she said not to worry about the previous high reading. So we should get even lower odds than 1:280 this time. She said from what they can see now the stomach etc all looks normal.
So 20 week scan booked for fri 30th October. Feel like I can start enjoying my pregnancy again.
