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?

Ceecee I'm 9+4 and my symptoms have been much better this week, I still feel tired and a bit nauseous when hungry but haven't been sick all week. I'm so hoping it won't return! Last time I was sick up until around my second scan and it doesn't feel as bad this time thank goodness.

Morning all. 8+6 today and off for my viability scan this evening. I'm so excited to see the little bean and praying that all is well. Not sure how I'm going to make it through the day at work, gonna draaaaag.
My MS is on the wane I think. Less intense but seems to last longer now, mostly at beginning and end of the day.

It's my booking in appointment this afternoon, i'm 10 weeks today! I was feeling excited about it but woken up this morning and I'm feeling a bit anxious about it.

I'll let you know how it goes and what they do / ask :)

witch don't get too worried about your booking in. I had mine on Saturday and mainly it was a chat, discussion about family medical history etc and lots of filling in forms. Then they took some blood, a wee sample and weighed and measured me. All in all it took about an hour.

I threw up on my lap on the train this morning :( I couldn't get my bag sorted in time. I am 8+3 now. I really hope it doesn't get any worse! I suppose I am quite lucky as I am sick every morning and then I feel much better until around 10pm (then I sleep it off).

My morning sickness comes mostly in waves. Weirdly eating does not make me feel better. I've gone off loads of food including coffee which was my life blood. Boobs are on fire. Exhaustion out of control. Thank god things are quiet at work due to Brexit as otherwise I wouldn't be able to cope.

Sorry to hear you're all aboard the MS train Poor you MrsM that must have been grim... trains are the worst place when feeling sick. Is anyone wearing a Baby On Board badge yet?

I'm excited I'm 10 weeks today! I'm trying to be positive that the symptoms are going but it's hard not to worry. However, I'm now not feeling sick as soon as I try to head out of the door and am almost back to eating normal portions of most meals. Phew!! Just want the scan now so I know the worrying is not quite so necessary.

I've already has one early scan, DH thinks another one is overkill and we should wait. So hard, and we're going on hols next week then 12 week is day after we get back on 26th.

London I can barely move today I feel so tired. Two late evening home has flattened me. Luckily. I am working from home today, I'm not sure I would make it to work otherwise! I am having really active dreams the moment, I had a dream where I had to walk to the other end of town and back last night Exhasted when I woke up.

I would normally have rare steak and red wine for tea if I was feeling this tired normal but not any more! :/

Oh witch we're due date buddies!

I had booking in appt last week, was quite nice actually just to talk to midwife and a trainee have morning off workand be reassured, wasn't scary at all.

Feeling for you ladies with sickness, hope it eases off soon.

I'm counting myself very lucky not to be in the morning sickness camp - but it can be quite difficult not having symptoms as most of the time I don't feel pregnant, and since I didn't go for an early scan I don't have much to go on to know things are going ok down there.

I didn't have much nausea last time either though so I think no morning sickness is just normal for me. My belly is getting bigger by the day (it's true what they say about everything being stretchier in second pregnancies!), my boobs are slightly sore, and sometimes I feel a bit tired. That's about it! Dating scan is a week on Monday so not long to wait now.

Packing for holiday today and nothing fits seriously how can I be so big??

I'm only 9 weeks and I've put on two stone.

jojo, I dug my BoB badge out of a drawer a couple weeks ago! Only used it once so far, but then I don't normally travel on the train/tube at rush hour..

Exhausted today as its day 2 of solo parenting not with DH working in Paris wed-fri and the dog woke me up at 3am to go out in the garden and look for squirrels and then DD was up before 6 and grumpy. I almost tried to do nap time an hour early just so I could lie down as well! I don't know how much longer I can hold out!

Oh my god so awful to hear how wretched people feel :( My last period was 10 weeks ago today and although I have had sicky moments I am feeling more energised and sat up til 2am reading last night! But my early scan put me at 7 weeks this week! So I am worrying now. Tits still feel like open wounds though lol. Maybe I am between 7 - 10 weeks so about 8-9? It is so hard not to over analyse every feeling and wonder if it's normal. Booking in appt in two days! If I was sick on a train I would probably have PTS I am so sorry you went through that mrsm if I were you I would try and see if you can start work a little later maybe? do you have a flexible job or empathetic manager? X

Work do not know yet. Bit awkward as I am actually a maternity cover, so I feel terrible!! I am bit worried that they will be cross. I was technically meant to work until end Dec (I am due 10th Feb) which would work well, but I actually don't think the lady was planning to come back until a week before I am due. I feel quite stressed about it all. X

Bad news from me I'm afraid - bleeding got heavier this morning so went back to the epu and they confirmed a complete miscarriage.

So much luck to all of you xx

Oh I'm so sorry rocket. I hope you've got plenty of support

Oh rocket I'm so sorry! That's really tough after getting a positive scan. Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry rocket take care xx

So sorry to hear.that rocket x

Those with sickness I really hope it passes for you soon! I'm 9+6 today. Was meant to see the midwife yesterday but had to go visit my 97 year old gran shirt notice. Spoke to the midwife who was lovely and said with me going to the hospital for my booking in on Monday I don't need to re book with her until 16 weeks. I'm quite happy with this as it just seemed pointless .

I'm still really tired and my average bedtime is now between 8.30 and 9 . I often watch an episode of something before I go to sleep but am often asleep by 10. Youngest is still waking each night which is tiring me to. My skin is also awful, I have spits.all over my forehead, my hair is greasy in the evening after washing it in the morning and I've got thick black hairs growing on my legs, never had that as I have blonde hair naturally (dye it ginger) . I never had either of those things with my other pregnancies! I'm also huge, look about 18 weeks but have only gained 3lb so not like its coz of weight gain x

So sorry to hear that rocket, look after yourself xxx

10 plus 5 today, exhausted too, falling asleep every evening before bedtime on chair or sofa.
Less nausea but still have food aversions. Can't look at coffee still which is annoying and fridge smells awful although I may need to clean it!!
A week today I have my scan.

I'm so sorry rocket, take care of yourself.

Thank you friends for the reassurance. I guess I wasn't actually sick other than once in my mouth at a meeting (yuck) but I did feel very nauseous. I'm still tired, but I haven't slept well, and my books are less achy. Trying not to be paranoid but I just have a feeling that all isn't quite as it should be. I guess I'll find out on 22nd July...

Wow blueskies are you our first official scan?? How exciting!

I'm exactly the same ceecee I have that feeling too but then I wonder if it's a combination of getting used to feeling meh and some of the symptoms easing off as we head toward trimester no 2? That's what I'm hoping for anyway!

Still shattered and also sleeping at 9 every night. So definitely not my usual night-owl self!

Back from my booking appointment and feeling quite upset.

The actual appointment was fine, my actual MW was on holiday so had a replacement, and she did seem to rush through it, but it was generally all fine. She took some blood, did a urine test, and a few questions but not as in depth as I was expecting, maybe because it's my first pregnancy so I don't have much of my own medical history IYSWIM?

The bit that upset me was my weight and BMI mean that I probably won't be able to give birth in my local midwife unit. This unit is literally right next door to my house (I can see the building from my front room window!) and it's where my DH was born, so it felt quite important to me that I was able to go there. I'm upset and disappointed with myself that my weight (which only I can control...) means that I probably won't be able to have that. I know it's a small thing in comparison to what some of the you other lovely people on here have been going through, but it's really got to me this afternoon
