Due in February 2017...thread #3!

[SkyLucy]

A home for all of us enjoying the surreality of the first trimester. We're sick as dogs, exhausted to the core, our boobs hurt, we've developed superhuman senses of smell and we're shirking all alcoholic bevvies with a variety of lame excuses...

...we're preggers and over the moon! Join us if you're due in February 2017 and fancy wisdom for the weirdness, support for any sadness, and a safe place where you can get excited about what the future holds, before you go public!

Third thread already (we're a chatty bunch!) Second thread here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/2662110-Due-in-February-2017-thread-2?

haz I've been eating cheese and oat milk with coco pops that seems to cure it, I obviously needed calcium. Also been eating diary and wheat free cornettos. Seems to have calmed down now.

The morning sickness is coming and going now but it can happen at random!

Just had a big cry, need to pack for our trip tomorrow and I feel so nauseous and exhausted that I just lay there and cried instead, feel much better about it now, amazing what a good cry can do isn't it?

Thanks Phoebe! I'm 8+6 going by first day of LMP but 7+2 according to both measurements and when I had a positive opk so that seems fine.

Has anyone else had middle of the night morning sickness? I keep getting woken up by nausea at about 3am - HATING IT.

Fenella I have 24/7 nausea. If I wake up in the night it is very difficult to get back to sleep.

I am currently lying in bed willing myself not to vomit omelette and chips...

I'm out started bleeding today and the baby had not grown passed 4 weeks I should be 10 weeks.

Sorry to hear that McBaby

What do you mean mcbaby?

Fenella - I had it last night! I kept waking up feeling so hot and sick!

So so sorry to hear that McBaby

So sorry McBaby. I hope you've got plenty of support.
I had middle of the night nausea last night. Dd woke up for feeds at midnight and 4am and it took me ages to get back to sleep because I felt so rough. I need her to sleep through tonight but she's done this about 4 times ever and not for weeks

mcbaby I'm so sorry and thinking of you :( xxx

mcbaby so very sorry to hear that, look after yourself
007 that's great news, must be a relief
haz I do love Hugo too!
Feeling the nausea again here. It eased off earlier but feeling vomilicious right now. Still waiting on those vitamin b6 tablets in the post!

I get late night sickness if I stay up too late, I have always suffered with it though even when not pregnant I think it is the point I am hungriest because your digestive system is working away getting rid of your dinner...because of this I keep food next to my bed always haha. Last night nothing really helped though. I ended up playing candy crush on the iPad to distract myself and watching Alan Partridge until I dozed off! Poor OH has to just blot my restlessness out! Tonight he has baked cookies to cure my craving and my god they were good. Mmm one was bigger than my head haha. I've had the weird dreams not disturbing, I am clearly watching too much GoT, Jaime Lannister came round in full suit of armour to sort out our rodent problem in my dream the other night!

Oh gin I'm waiting for my b6 tablets too! Bloody Amazon xx

Sorry McBaby-- I hope you have lots of RL support as I know how tough it is.

I've been having weird dreams/nightmares too. One scary one featuring a work colleague the other night, it freaked me out, I couldn't look at him the following day!

I'm 9+5 today and am pleased (fingers crossed) to say the nausea seems to be subsiding. We were at a festival all wknd and I was fine, even with the nasty stall food, I managed not to have any wretching or worse. I nearly fainted on the train this morning but ate a smallish salad lunch, snacks and managed a decent portion of lasagne for dinner. Possible light at end of tunnel??

So sorry by the way mcbaby you must be bereft, I hope you have people around you offering support

So sorry to hear that mcbaby... That is such sad news, look after yourself. xxxx

I have been very tried this evening and had some red blood when I wiped.
I am tired of this now and want to be through this stage, 10 plus 3 today. I woke last night an was awake for hours and then had a day of work then kids pick up, dh is working. Am exhausted and feeling faint a lot but at least the nausea and extreme sense of smell seems to be subsiding.

To the person up thread craving ice cream but is lactose intolerant - have you tried frozen banana ice cream?

You blend a frozen banana with a tbsp of smooth peanut butter, a tbsp of honey, and cocoa powder to taste. Whiz it all up together and after a while it will go smooth and texture like ice cream. It tastes surprisingly good and you can't taste the PB (if that's not your thing!) it just tastes like choc ice cream!! Might just take the edge off your craving.

Last couple of weeks I could not seem to get enough salt, and did not want sweet things which isn't like me at all. Fortunately for my heart, that seems to have settled down now!!

So sorry mcbaby I hope you have people looking after you.

witch that's exactly what I'm like at the moment, I'm eating hula hoops by the bucket load and the thought of chocolate makes me gag!

So sorry McBaby

So sorry to hear that mcbaby, thoughts are with you x

I've only skimmed through but caught bits of the conversations. We have a girls name that we will definitely use if this one is another pink one . we have a list of about five boys names we both like but aren't sure on any yet.

I found out the sex with both the girls. Hubby didn't really want to so I promised if we had another we would have a surprise so I'll keep my promise. We're getting one of the cosatto giggle 2 travel systems and theres lots of unisex options there and the cot I want is also unisex. We have only saved clothes from 9-12 months so would need new either way. Doing the room a pixie green colour to so that's unisex. I won't buy a lot if unisex clothes though as I will dress them I'm very girly clothes if a girl and have never shopped for boys stuff so will likely go mad if its a boy lol x

H007 fantastic news about the job!!!! good things will happen to us all here!'

mcbaby I'm so sorry

Still in hospital, but have had a better night, just waiting for my next lot of steroids now! One of the hardest things about being here is not having my kitchen with snack choices to reach for when I get cravings! I'm limited to a few crappy biscuits in my drawer 😂

I have one absolute certain boy name to use, and a list of girl's names- but one in particular that I think we'll go with.

Is anyone else considering a water birth? I didn't with my first two, but did find the bath a massive pain reliever...so contemplating booking in for a water birth this time! That is, if I'm allowed...I'm sure I can smile sweetly and get one

That sounds great I have seen that around but not tried it yet. I already have coconut milk ice cream and non diary cornettos - neither of which I can face!

Dreams have been
Mental!

Also I'm really sorry to hear that mcbaby, there are support groups on here too, which might help youxxx

Divadee what rubbish about the move!! I think nausea should go away before then (I have heard, not really having much nausea myself)

I have also gone from worrying about not having nausea to feeling super lucky, after hearing here how much other ladies are suffering sorry.

The only think I feel is a bit off most food, I dont really fancy anything but still eating quite a lot...

McBaby I am so very sorry to hear this Not much to say as I have no experience, just that so very sorry

Louise she means she is miscarrying, baby stopped growing 6 weeks ago. Devastating

Witch I love banana icecream. i dont use peanut butter but hazelnut milk, honey and raw cocoa nibs and dry coconut. Oh my

Scary I want a water birth but our boiler is very small and I dont think we will be able to fill the pool
