OK I'm setting up a Google docs spreadsheet will post link when done! X

MsFiremanSam · 17/02/2016 11:55

Thanks Ditsy!
Agree on all the advice. My diet today has consisted of:
Crunchy nut cornflakes
Two teacakes
Bowl of chips
Cheese sandwich
I don't care if it keeps the sickness at bay!!

lokahsamastah · 17/02/2016 11:58

I've just seen my GP who has been fab and prescribed meds for hyperemesis just in case the vomming starts. On the other hand he couldn't grasp that the "weeks pregnant" info I gave him was based on the nhs pregnancy calculator, and was most likely to be accurate as it takes into account my very short cycle. He insisted I'm only 3weeks rather than 5, even though I got a positive test almost ten days ago!

But at least he didn't dismiss the chances of HG happening again, and I also made my booking in appointment

mrsamerican · 17/02/2016 12:28

Hi all, I'm already on the list, guessing I'm due with #2 around the 10th of October. We conceived while on a trip visiting my family in America, and he stayed to do a work course, and although I "felt" pregnant (and nauseated) almost right away I didn't get a positive test until the day after my missed period (even with the fancy first response).

I'd try to be more active, but I'm already in the throes of hyperemesis. Haven't kept any food down (just little sips of water) for about 5 days now. It didn't start until I was about 7 or 8 weeks with my daughter, so I'm just kind of hating being pregnant and doing nothing but crying and barfing at the moment. I can barely get out of bed, and will probably have to tell the family this weekend even though it's so early.

Someone send me some chocolate that doesn't smell awful and taste like dirt please. :)

missybct · 17/02/2016 12:36

Afternoon all - so many of us now!

7 weeks 3 days today - bizarrely don't feel very sicky today after days of feeling constantly nauseous to the point of being too scared to move - I managed a walk into town today! Thankfully off work until next Tues as half term and have DSS here. These symptoms are bizarre I must admit, once you get used to them they lull you into false sense of security!

That said I'm very tired today - and an upstairs in bed for a wee bit. OH is cleaning have intermittent cramping and was constipated until I went this morning. Managed to eat a bit more healthy today - scrambled eggs for breakfast and chicken, avocado and salad sandwich. Although I did have a scone afterwards

Gonna have a read of my Bounty pack and report back. Feeling a bit anxious and unconfident today, like I shouldn't be getting my hopes up that I will carry full term - this despite seeing fetal heartbeat last week

bananafish81 · 17/02/2016 12:41

OK here should be a google spreadsheet with everyone's EDDs - when we start the next thread we can put a link to the stats in the OP - hope this works!

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17dTi1GZbm7GV6aU3-5vOLq8mdmNhSz5ukRFKJT7Wehw/edit?usp=sharing

(if this isn't editable by anyone with the link, then will try my best to keep it updated!) x

Fraggleface · 17/02/2016 12:51

Good work Banana!
I feel so sick

SchnitzelvonKrummsverylowtum · 17/02/2016 12:53

Thanks for adding me to the list.

Sorry for those suffering with unpleasant symptoms. I have one two hour paper left of my exam now, and I'm feeling very sick. Not the best way to sit an exam really.

Hope everyone is feeling better soon!

wetsnow · 17/02/2016 12:57

Fab Banana
Sorry to all the ladies with sickness. Not nice at all.

Fraggleface · 17/02/2016 12:59

Good luck Schnitzel.
And thanks and ditto sending non-nausea inducing hugs to everyone else feeling under the weather.

Ladycrazycat · 17/02/2016 13:16

MsFiremanSam

My food for today consists of:

A slice of leftover pizza for breakfast (from a dominos I barely touched last night)
Two packs of chewitts
Most of a large pack of Ryvita crisp things
Soup from Pret

It doesn't sound so bad I suppose (other than the chewitts) but other days have been dreadful and I find ive usually had a couple of rich teas before leaving the house.

DH has been lovely and keeps making me a lunch box of sandwiches cut into small squares which I can just grab to have a munch on at home.

Usually when I eat it makes the nausea go away but not today. I just feel worse. We also have our letting agent coming round tomorrow so we need to try and get the flat cleaned up. As I've been feeling so rough I haven't been keeping on top of it although DH has been trying his best. We are in the process of moving so we seem to have boxes and piles of clothes everywhere!

Figgygal · 17/02/2016 13:26

MsFireSam mmm chewits when I was pg last time I developed an awful sweet tooth I would eat huge bags of marshmallows or anything of the jelly sweet variety took a couple of years I would say to get it back under control. I put on 3+ stone last time (stopped weighing myself in last month I just didn't want to know) hoping to avoid that this time as 5 years on and into mid 30's I don't think it will fall off as easily this time.

Wet hope the cold gets better I wanted to crawl into a ball and die on Friday I was so ill all weekend. Am through the other side now......until next one I seem to get one every 3 weeks or so.

sorry to all the puking ladies It seems like the majority of us are getting away with that joyful symptom. Hope it passes soon. I wish I had some more symptoms than I do was exhausted last week and having mild tummy feelings but not cramps really.

7 weeks tomorrow booking in on 2nd march if I cant have scan before 24th March on NHS which is when I am 12 weeks I will have to get a private one done as there is no way I cant tell my family when go to see them it will be obvious if I am not out and about.

wondermoose · 17/02/2016 13:27

Hi all, thanks for the list update :)

I had my mw appointment but the mw was off sick so I got her boss, I tried to convince her I didn't know my dates to get an early scan but she wasn't having any of it 😂

She kept making be very aware that just because I've had one successful pregnancy doesn't mean this one will be 😕 I know that's true but now I feel really sad!

Food, oh God the food! I need to find some sort of healthy snack! Today I've had 2 chocolate pop tarts, 2 slices of pizza and a bag of cheese and onion crisps! Providing all does go ok I have to cut out dairy, eggs and soya at 36 weeks so I think I'm just making the most of it! I've only been back on it since December when we stopped bf

lokahsamastah · 17/02/2016 13:44

Mrsamerican have you managed to get meds? A supportive GP? HG is horrendous, the depression and guilt is as bad as the nausea and vomiting. Have you visited the pregnancy sickness support website and spewing mummy blog? Both have been invaluable to me already

ditsygal · 17/02/2016 13:54

mrsamerican that sounds hideous bless you

bananafish Well done on the google docs! thanks for that

my diet is pretty terrible at the moment. I swore I would go back on slimming world yesterday but I am struggling to find healthy things that will not make me sick, so at the moment I am kind of going with the flow and eating what ever makes me feel a bit better. Hopefully in the 2nd trimester I can be super healthy to compensate for it!

mrsamerican · 17/02/2016 15:06

lokahsamastah I'm trying a new GP from my last pregnancy. Last one they gave me metaclopramide and left me to myself. I spent twelve weeks on the sofa and lost about two stone, but GP and midwife just kept saying "baby is getting what it needs". I felt like I was dying. I'm starting to feel that way now, but I have a four year old that needs care and I can't go on this way like I did last time. Phone appt with the GP tomorrow as getting there will just make me feel worse. My husband said he will go raise hell if they fob me off this time, and it will have to be him, as I can barely get out of bed.

I have a feeling my mother-in-law at least is going to figure out what's going on after I asked for childcare help with a "tummy bug" that has now lasted two weeks.

Has anyone else had to tell family and friends this early? I feel like I should make an announcement like Kate Middleton just because I desperately need help.

lokahsamastah · 17/02/2016 15:30

Mrsamerican we made the choice to tell our family and friends this weekend, because if the HG hits (more like when, 86% chance) then we will be relying on them for childcare, meals, housework - it's just not possible to do this without them, my mental and physical health will suffer too much. If you feel up to it please check out the spewing mummy blog, there is a detailed care plan that has been created by a consultant which spells out what meds to ask for and when. Are you on the HG support thread too? Don't try to do this on your own.

MrBensMrs · 17/02/2016 15:51

I fell off the list too and can't open the Google doc on work laptop :(

Ladies, I am so glad there are others with insatiable hunger! If I am not eating I am starting to feel sick - the fresh air helps, but I can't walk off from my desk for walks round the block every hour so eating it is!

Today I have had:
2 Alpen Cereal Bars
1 Muller Light
5 Clementines
Chicken Burger and chips (had lunch out with work)
And now thinking what else I can eat as starting to feel sick again!

Last night about an hour after a HUGE tea - I ate a massive bowl of cornflakes too just to stop me feeling sick! And I had 3 bags of crisps yesterday too! I will be the size of a house at this rate!!!

vivicrocodile · 17/02/2016 16:35

I can't open the document. Would someone mind adding me, please?
Vivicrocodile due #2 19th October. Thanks very much.

I'm glad it's half term - I'm a teacher too so I'm off. I have been so tired and DD is up at 4.30 every morning. It's awful!

I have also been eating everything. I put on (and lost) over 2 stone after DD was born. I'm about half a stone lighter than I was when I got pregnant last time. I just feel so massive. I just need to stop stuffing my face with junk! I do always find it a lot harder to eat well when it's school holidays though.

I am 5 weeks today and had my first bout of nausea. Couldn't eat my breakfast but have made up for it snacking on biscuits to try to stop feeling ill.

Does anyone not really think much about being pregnant? With my first it's all I could think about - I spent hours reading information online. I feel a lot more relaxed with this one. Anyone else?

MsFiremanSam · 17/02/2016 17:02

Vivicrocodile im a teacher too - can't imagine being able to teach 5 or 6 lessons in a row without being sick or eating!

bananafish81 · 17/02/2016 17:51

I'll add the new ladies when I'm back at my computer

Gosh I wish I could be relaxed about this - I'm on permanent knicker watch. Desperate for more symptoms tbh!

Although I read up so much about the whole IVF process, I never read up about what happened if the unthinkable happened and I ever actually got pregnant!!! Am on a steep learning curve!!

climbingcheesecake · 17/02/2016 18:06

Thanks for the spreadsheet banana. Sorry to everyone who is feeling sick.
A good friend of mine had HG and she really suffered from it, so I feel for you.

Had my blood test today, was a bit worried because my symptoms seemed to have gone, but the HCG count was 52000, so I think that is ok? it seemed to be in the right range but I don't really get it because the ranges are massive. I will probably still worry until I get a scan, but as least it is proof that I am definitely pregnant!
I can't remember who it was up-thread that said they were struggling exercise but I have also had this problem, I rested for a couple of weeks - and I feel like I have more energy now.

leoniethelioness · 17/02/2016 18:30

I had my booking appointment this morning and have a date for my scan in just under a month's time! Very excited - just hope all is well. I've managed to avoid any sickness or real nausea - feel a bit off before breakfast and have to eat at 10.30 or I feel queasy.

lotbyname · 17/02/2016 18:34

Hellos!

May I join? Expecting my first on October 13th, Greenwich London.

Has anyone else failed utterly at not telling people? I must have told about 30 people, I just suck at keeping things secret. I blame that my bff and Parents are all out of contact!
