March 2017 - Thread #2

[alphabook]

March 2017 continued!

I just went in primark and the largest size maternity bra i found was 38 EE.

Has anyone else broken out in spots? My whole forehead has these under the skin lumps ALL over it! I'm thinking it must be hormone related? I usually don't get any spots bar 1/2 around AF.

Thanks Neon! I'm a 38e, so sounds promising

Bridget that is so weird, I had this the other week but put it down to a change of skincare product, but it wld have been around time of implantation too..... Has cleared up now tho.

Name: wornoutboots

From south wales, now living in worcestershire

hello. scared to join in because the odds are stacked against this baby :( but thinking positive so here I am, joining in.

Really sorry cinnamon and fx xx

I've just booked a reassurance scan for the 5th of Aug when I should be nearly 9 weeks. Think it'll make it much more real for DP. Feeling pretty lousy and hardly eating but not lost any weight which is disappointing.

Yes, me Carolann. Makes me so nervous, won't relax til post 12 week scan.

Carol, I've had constant mild cramping, feels like my period is coming. I'm do worried about this one sticking, can't think about anything else.

thanks for the replies elsa and super I try not to think about it, keep checking for bleed, nothing so far, I don't see the midwife until the 17th so hope beany will stick around

Hope you have sticky beans also xx

I have an early scan next Mon and I'm terrified. I only have 1 fallopian tube so I'm praying this one's in the right place. My booking in is the day before yours Carol.

Elsa
Did you get any advice from your doctor about coming off Sertraline? I think it's important to reduce the dose gradually, especially if you've been taking it for a long time.

love I don't think the Zika virus is in France I go to France regularly and it wouldn't even occur to me to get travel health advice for going there.

elsa, strangely I found mashed potatoes helped with the side effects when I came off SSRI meds like sertraline. weird dreams were a feature, I remember that well!

Bridget I have PCOS so have acne normally but I'm able to keep it under control. But recently I've broken out in loads of spots on my chest and back. Really not attractive, especially since it's been hot and I've been wearing sleeveless tops!

Carol if the cramping is really bad I would get it checked out (I am neurotic though!) How far along are you?

Thanks Neon, I wasn't sure if Primark would have my size as I'm a 32E at the moment but the cups are getting too small, so helpful to know it's worth me having a look!

TMI alert - I was up for about 3 hours last night with horrific trapped wind, it was agony, I was vomiting from the pain! Managed to get back to sleep for an hour or so and then I had really bad diarrhoea. Had to call in sick as I felt so weak and exhausted which I'm a bit gutted about as its only my second week in a new job.

Elsa I felt really spaced out when I came off of citalopram, so I think that's normal. I remember feeling awful though so I don't envy you having to go through that on top of pregnancy symptoms. Think it only lasted about a week though so I hope you feel better soon.

Name change -I did speak to the doc, she was ok with me coming off rapidly but I'm wondering if she really knows much about ADs!

!

Just had an early 8 week scan. Baby is in there growing as normal. Heart beating and he put the Doppler on so I could hear it. This is actually happening!

Is anybody else suffering with nausea yet? The tiredness and sicky feeling has really hit me today, I haven't really got out of bed!

Lovely news Bridget!

Tiredness really kicking in today. Early night needed.

Great news Bridget

alpha I'm 6w+4 but I think as well as cramps it's wind and constipation lovely combo xx

Love2003 I am travelling to Cambodia and Malaysia next month, and someone tried to tell me I had to worry about Zika even though there's been 0 cases in Asia.

Don't let people scaremonger you!

All of it today Leanne!

My boobs are increasing in size by the day! started this pregnancy in a 30F, have been through the 30FFs and now already spilling out of my 30Gs, so going to have to go bigger again! It's making all my work tops very tight around the bust, so just hoping they stop growing soon. Makes me feel like this pregnancy is very obvious, even though I'm desperately trying to keep it quiet...
