June 2016 Babies - Thread 2 - The first trimester, first scans and seeing little heartbeats

[JellyBaby26]

For all babies due June 2016

The stats are here

I can't believe thread has filled so fast yet there will be more members to come!

Haha news for the first timers - you NEVER stop worrying! 2nd trimester you worry about abnormalities, 3rd trimester you worry about preterm labour, after birth you worry about feeding and weight gain etc etc!

I don't remember worrying at all last time! But then I don't remember much of anything about it at all - maybe I just blocked it out

obsessed I'm pretty sure I've blocked stuff out, it's why it's taken me 3 years each time between DC! But it is also delightful, and I'm sure I've also forgotten a lot of the good stuff too!

And congratulations to the ladies who are, how shall I say it.... feeling a little more flushed out.

I feel pregnant again, which is nice. I have nausea in the afternoons and evenings now instead of the morning and afternoon. I should be getting an early scan, though. Because while I wasn't feeling pregnant, I went to my GP and had a little freak out. I feel bad because my symptoms have returned, but not bad enough to say no to the scan appointment when it comes!

I'm sorry, lilygirl, I hope it isn't what you think x

emma we're not exactly sure but near Buckingham so quite far away from High Wycombe!

I also got cramps around 4-5 weeks. Have eased off a bit now but still every now and then!

Congratulations on your bowel movement snowflake lol

Thanks lovelybeano the down side now is it may be days before I go again.

Thanks obsessedlex for your message, I think if it continues I might just go and see the doctor, I know it's normal to have cramps but it's making me feel very worried!

I hope your scan goes well, fingers crossed the wait will be over nice and quick! Let us know how it goes!

mrsmugoo hehe! And so our journey begins, what a magical worry we are in for!

The morning sickness has arrived yay!! No actual sick yet but all day nausea day and night, and sore boobs!! Glad to finally be feeling pregnant, not glad to have my 1.5 hr each way commute today, hope I don't actually be sick!!

Lily so sorry to hear your news, maybe just a phonecall to clarify with EPU that you don't need to come in? They might suggest waiting a while and a scan? xx

My boobs feel like bricks today, up twice through the night to pee but thankfully feeling no nausea so far. I have had hg both previous pregnancies so I am expecting it again, hoping to see the Dr prior to it starting to try and get some tablets as where I work I don't have fast access to a toilet!

Sliceoflemon I got my clearblue 3+ today as well! Yay!

Lily hope you are ok xxx

Hurray! My DD slept through for the first time in about 7 weeks! She went to bed at 7.30 and woke at 6am! I feel almost human again this morning apart from the fact that I keep getting waves of nausea and feel ridiculously bloated! Ah well!

cheshire DS did too!!!! Shame I couldn't blooming sleep lol

For the first time this morning I couldn't eat my breakfast bleurgh I have just manage a small cake, not the most healthy but at least I can take my vitamins now, hope everyone is doing ok today xx

Hi ladies.
Just a quick question about which pregnancy vitamins you are all taking....
I'm about to run out of the pregnacare plus ones where you get the vits and the omega 3 capsules and I've found them a bit of a struggle to take as they are huge! Anyone found any smaller ones?

Just about caught up. Sorry I've not been posting very much, have felt really miserable the last few days (probably hormones!) and not really up for posting.

On the bright side my nausea seems to have eased, which is either a) because I had a cold last week making me feel worse, b) the ginger in my pregnancy cuts is starting to help, or c) means I should be worrying. Desperately clinging to a and b (and the smell of bread is still making me gag so that's something).

obsessedlex I'm taking boots own brand vitamins, but they're even bigger than I remember the pregnacare ones being, which I took last time.

Sorry to hear your news lily

I have the asda pregnancy ones with the omega 3 oil and they seem to be ok xx

Crazy alert!!!!

This sounds bonkers and I'm sure I'll wish I never said it but....... Hooray I'm feeling nauseous!! Second scan tomorrow, I'd been worrying after my last inconclusive one that my symptoms were fading so this makes me very happy

As you were.......

Ah - and thanks biscuits and beano I'll have a look at those vits

ObsessedLex, I'm also taking the Boots ones. I felt more comfortable with them because they have 10mg of Zinc rather than the higher dose in the Pregnacare ones because I heard that you should only have a maximum of 11-13 mg when pregnant. I also liked that they have ginger in them.

And I don't think you're mad because you're happy your nausea is back. I'm overjoyed mine is too!

I like the boots ones. They are solid and not capsules, don't know if that makes it better or worse?

People taking omega 3- what dose is in the pregnacare one? I have some separate supplements but the dose seemed quite high when I looked it up online (not at home at the mo so can't say exactly what it is) so I got scared and now only take it sometimes in addition to the boots ones!!

Sorry to hear your news lily. Take care of yourself

I know the feeling cheshire, ds has just started sleeping through again after another round of teething!

I feel ropey and have had a headache these last 2 days... had them for 2 months last time so a bit wary that it is starting again

On a positive note, i found my maternity jeans - soooo comfy

Fx for the scan tomorrow lex

Been to London on the train today for work and so now I'm shattered!!! Felt low level nauseous all day, nothing major just an underlying feeling of yuck.

Looking forward to picking my DS up from nursery and having a cuddle in a bit. Missed him terribly today for some reason. Normally I'm glad of some time off at work haha!
