[Scase1firsttimemum]

Hello ladies, made a new thread seeing as we have almost run out of room on the last one!

Good luck scan ladies.
Regretted my haribo binge last night, ended up feeling super ill and think it was a sugar rush. My heart was pounding!
I had my flu jab. Had flu 15 years ago and never felt so bad I my life so would rather not have that ever again thank you!
Only 3 sleeps til scan!

My scan was fine - picture not great though especially compared to some of yours! I'm exhausted now - I hardly slept at all!

Oh and my due date was moved as well - now 27 June making me 12+4 today.

So pleased to hear all ok youandme, and now relax! Mine's tomorrow, feeling rather anxious!

I'm struggling I'm so hormonal. I feel like I'm on the verge of depression. I feel sick most mornings and evenings but if I don't eat it's worse. I think it's the time of year as well as pregnancy as there is so much to do. Sorry to come on here and moan. DH is being understanding for now but I'm not sure how long his patience will last. I'm even snappy with the children. Everything feels like an effort and I just feel like a grumpy, frumpy mess.

I'm going to be the size of a house my cravings are pickled onions and fizzy jelly sweets. I have just bought a bag of sweets for lunch nothing else.

11+1

Good to hear about the scans
Beautician - I get what you mean as I'm snapping at my daughter and feeling useless but hope you start to feel better soon. Don't do what I did and get the sugar sweats from your lunch! I've started worrying that I'm not eating much fresh stuff but I just cant face it, altho salad seems ok on me (as long as I put cheese in it!)

Glad your scan was all good you and me.

Beautician, I am feeling exactly the same. I have got a weekend ahead of family get togethers (after a 4 hour drive). I just cannot be bothered. Would rather stay at home in my PJ's all weekend. The only person I seem to be able to tolerate is DH.
I don't have my test results from the harmony test yet (I know they said 7 days) and I am feeling anxious about those even though nuchal was normal (I am doing my own head in). I am telling my Dad about the baby tomorrow. Keeping everything a secret is really getting to me now. So hopefully telling him will cheer me up. I also feel so frumpy. Ordered some forgiving soft jersey type dresses and skirts. Hopefully they will be there when I get home so I can wear this weekend. Then everyone won't think I am just getting chubby.
Hope you start to feel better. It is hard especially when you feel so sick. Our bodies are going through so much at the moment. Be forgiving of yourself. (That's what I keep telling myself anyway).

All I want is a McDonalds but that will prob make me feel disgusting afterwards. lol.

Ladies, my nausea has almost disappeared, my breasts no longer feel sore and I feel significantly less of an emotional wreck. On the one hand those symptoms were getting me down but I'm only 8 weeks to the day so I'm worried. Is this a bad sign?

Insufficiently - that is very normal and does scare people but most of the time it's nothing, it may even reoccur in the next week or so which will both reassure you and make you feel rubbish, lol. Ring your midwife if you're worried or there's anything else.

I can't believe you're 7 pages into a new thread by the time I catch up! I was on one of these last time and I read every post but clearly with an 18 month old I have much less time than when I worked ft!

11 weeks tomorrow. Scan not until Jan when I'll be 13+5 😔 I hate waiting!! We've told plenty of people though because I've been pretty sick this time and am expanding rapidly too. Haven't fitted in my jeans since 5 weeks 😳

Beautician - see your my or GP if you think it's sliding into depression or you really can't handle it, they may be able to help. Big hugs. I am a mood swinger and can go from one extreme to the other in moments, which annoys me and scares my Dp!

My symptoms went away for a while between 7 and 8 weeks and I was completely convinced that it was very bad news. But everything was absolutely fine at both 8 and 12 week scans, and the symptoms came back too!

The clinic have lost my blood samples in the post for the harmony test!!! I am so so annoyed right now. £500 down and they can't get that right. Fills me with no confidence. Have to go back in tomorrow and get them done again - they are lucky I am travelling the 4 hour journey to Glasgow again this weekend anyway. Grrrrrrrr.

Oh no Woodsy that's so annoying! You must be raging.

Beautician if you need some support try speaking to midwife if possible as they will understand exactly how you feel.
Bit of a rant but why do people you don't know that well think it's ok to ask if you're pregnant at a table full of people?? If I wanted to tell you I bloody would have now sod off!!
I've been sick 4 times this afternoon and have had to cancel my beauticians appointment for tonight so feeling like I could rip someone's head off.

Said person has been asking or making comments for weeks now, you'd think she would get the effing hint. She likes to tell everyone her business and obviously expects everyone else to be the same

I have someone at work who keeps telling me they know that I'm pregnant. I've been really sick and look rough so I'm not surprised people have guessed. But, this woman has had 4 children of her own and a mc. You would think she would know why people keep it a secret until 12 weeks! It is getting to me too. Luckily, I don't have to see her until after my scan now because I am finished for Christmas!

I'm off to a Christmas party with my ex-colleagues and friends. My ex-boss is fantastically blunt and has been asking for years if I have plans to start a family. I'm going to have to sip my soft drink whilst giving her a look that says "don't you dare ask me why I am not drinking!"

Mini all I got from my lunch is a sore mouth yet still I want sour/ fizzy sweets.

Woodsy sorry you are feeling rubbish too. "I'm doing my own head in" that's exactly how I feel. I think it may be because I found out so early this time. I found out before my period was due and with my previous pregnancies a positive test hasn't shown until 4-7 days after my period was due. That combined with the fact my scan is at 13 weeks just seems to be making this trimester drag which is stressful.
So annoying about your bloods I would tell them that you've had to make an unscheduled 4 hour round trip to them and try and get some of your money back.

Fuzzy thank you. I think I will wait and mention it to the midwife in January. I think it's just the stress of Christmas, 3 children and raging hormones.

Insufficiently my symptoms come and go. I wouldn't worry. I had nausea from weeks 7-9 and it seemed to have gone just a bit at night after eating evening meal but then this morning I had it and it appears to be back.

Kaytee thank you. I haven't had anyone guess I'm pregnant yet but probably because I'm a bit fat anyway and I've been avoiding going out.

Trying to be a bit better for dinner this evening after my lunch time sweetie binge. So pork, mashed potatoes and lots and lots of veg.

Woodsy - jeez that is SO annoying. Interesting that you sensed something was up.

Beautician - pickled onions and tangfastics...the perfect combo! Can you slip in a bit of cheddar with the onion and a satsuma or something? That's how I spread the crap diet love, with a tiny bit of health. Really feel for your mood...at least DH is on side at the mo and the kids at Xmas will be distracted at least. Good luck, it really sucks all this waiting and with crap side effects.

Even with a baby on board badge today no one offered me a seat. I thought I'd puke actually but managed to hold it in. Not a pleasant experience and unlike me to not pipe up and demand a seat from the teenager lolling around texting...

Cheery - good luck tmw!!!! Send a pic when you can!

woodsy that's really rubbish I would be so cross. Especially after spending all that money. I would be inclined to kick up a bit and ask for a part refund or something. So much extra stress for you, for something that is supposed to be reducing your worry/stress.
beautician I feel like those feelings are very normal. Juggling so much with all these hormones is a recipe for a melt down. If you feel like you can't cope then definitely speak to doctor/midwife. If it makes you feel any better I've mostly just eaten crisps today. Bags and bags of kettle chips I've gotten through this week
insufficiently I've found this on and off for ages. I think I'm finally out of the feeling of being run over by a bus.. And then it returns. I'm sure everything is fine. I think it's the hormone levels going up and down

Congrats on the scan youandme .

Wow, Ive just burst into tears for no reason :L these hormones are something else!!
Ahh I hate people who think they know things!! (Even if they are right..) need to keep their noses out until YOU want to announce your news!
I've had massive cravings for fizzy sweets too! A certain type though that I found a couple days ago and ever since its all I want!! Ohh and prawns but havent been able to have them yet

Woody that's annoying especially if youve had to travel and paid so much.

Sore throat starting here feel shattered. I'm craving all the things
I can't really have... Cheeses lots of them, pate on toast and prawns I want too! Not sure I'm brave enough for a prawn yet!

Aw scase I don't feel tearful, just pissed off!
I know, I've decided that I'm not even going to bother telling her, i will let her find out through the grapevine. If she can't do me the decency of letting me announce my own news in my own time then I won't do her the decency of telling her myself. It probably is quite obvious I'm pregnant, newly married, sick as a dog, look like crap and not drinking, but most people are polite enough not to comment.

I managed to hit upon a perfect "why are you not drinking?" excuse this evening.

I was feeling a bit headachy, so played it up and said that I felt like I was brewing a nasty headache and didn't want to make it worse. Obviously, it only works for a single event and not if you are seeing the same people regularly, but it is a good one- quite plausible, and allows you to leave early without further suspicion if you are feeling tired as well. I'm planning on using it for a party I'm going to tomorrow evening as well.

Love all the scan pictures scan buddy as well, im so tired i cant remeber names yawn
10+ 4

My Mum and Step dad have also suggested asking for some money back. Will see how assertive I feel tomorrow. I am going to ask that they get the samples through super quick. Was hoping to have results by my 12 week scan on Tuesday. If they can't then I might ask for some money back. DH is better at making a fuss than me so will be handy having him there.
Have had a great night with my family. Went to a concert then got the McDonalds I have been craving on way home. Took my mind off everything for a little while.
