Thanks number4 it's so nice to have some where to get all the anxieties out!!

Number4OnTheWay · 03/09/2016 19:41

Marmite jpeg had a bright red bleed that has since turned brown :(

marmitecheesetoast · 03/09/2016 19:56

Of course, sorry, didn't mean to sound flippant in any way, just hoping its nothing to worry about for you jpeg really hope scan goes well. Not too much longer to wait now Flowers

jpeg28 · 03/09/2016 20:04

Thanks marmite... Brown is ok, and normally is completely normal, but it's how my MC started in March and with the bleed in the week it's just worrying. I'm sure it will be ok. Smile

MonkeyArms · 03/09/2016 20:10

Hope it all goes well for you tomorrow jpeg amazed at how sane you still sound with all the worry.

marmitecheesetoast · 03/09/2016 20:14

I'm sure it must be worrying for you, got everything crossed for good news for you though. Hope you manage a decent sleep tonight

Celticlassie · 03/09/2016 20:55

Hope it goes well tomorrow jpeg. I've still had no nausea - appetite of a horse, but am cramping a bit tonight. I worry when I've no symptoms so I'm trying to assume these cramps are good!

SloanePeterson · 03/09/2016 21:39

Does anyone have any tips to stop the horrid bloating? I'm 9 weeks today and my belly has just been ridiculous, up and down like a balloon all day with no rhyme or reason to it. It's so uncomfortable and something I've obviously forgotten about since having my dc. I'm farting like a trooper Blush but even that's not helping. I tried on a skirt today that's normally a bit loose to gauge wether I could get away with it as eventual maternity wear by shoving it under the bump and it wouldn't even do up over my enormous bloaty belly. On the plus side, I've been taking spatone with orange juice twice a day for a week and no longer feel so weak and pathetic. I'm wondering if the orange juice is adding to the bloat though? I used to be much heavier than I am now and one of the ways i lost weight was to resolutely not drink my calories.

SussexTeacher · 03/09/2016 21:41

My nausea has hit the roof this week as well.

After BagelGate earlier in the week, my DH then found me crying into the toilet bowl last night. I told him that it was his fault my nausea was so bad as he was such an intense child so no wonder his child was making me feel so crap. I was an easy kid who hardly ever cried.

I then forgot to take my glasses off my head as I was heaving and they fell into the toilet.

At that point I just cried.... And cried..... Then laughed at how psycho I have been today!

Number4OnTheWay · 03/09/2016 21:42

Is anyone else noticing a pattern, where they feel okish for a couple of days and then feel like death the next? I'm hoping tomorrow is the start of an okish day again. Although I could really do with not feeling this crap anymore :( I never felt this bad with any of my other pregnancies and I'm even starting to wish I wasnt pregnant any more. I just feel so so so so SO bad. Still only another 33+5 weeks to go here Hmm

Number4OnTheWay · 03/09/2016 21:44

Oh Sussex :( it sounds like you've had a rough day Sad

MyGreenSofa · 03/09/2016 21:47

Ah but number 4 you shouldn't feel so bad the whole way through, after first trimester hopefully you'll feel better!

Good luck tmrw jpeg!

DH and I still not on speaking terms Hmm

jpeg28 · 03/09/2016 22:01

Sussex that sounds like such an awful day, hope you are getting lots of rest now! I'm sure your DH understands how psycho pregnancy sends us women!!

Number4 I have spotted a pattern, it's sort of two days okish two days death bed... Tomorrow should be a good day for me after two days on the sofa!!

sloane if you figure out how to stop the bloat please tell me!! I'm putting it down to no coffee... Coffee used to make me very regular (sorry tmi!) and since I got pg I'm really not!

Today I've drunk almost two full sized cartons of orange juice... I have a serious problem!

Niks2026 · 03/09/2016 22:07

I've got everything crossed for you jpeg will be thinking of you tomorrow.

My nausea isn't too bad. It comes and goes as well as my appetite. Tea and biscuits is my saviour, it's also keeping me warm too :)

My boobs....ouch!! They are really hard and and so so sore. I'm already a 36E so not looking forward to them getting bigger Sad I'll be buying maternity bras before I hit the second trimester at this point.

Puggleface · 03/09/2016 22:13

Will be thinking of you tomorrow Jpeg

I've noticed a bit of a pattern too. I like to think of those rough days as days that the blob is having a growth spurt!

Bit TMI but is anyone else suffering with the poops? I've had a few bad bouts of it now Blush Confused

MumiTravels · 03/09/2016 22:23

Hello ladies.
(I bring cake and tea Cake Brew)

I worked a 13 hour shift today and without swearing, I'm pooped. Well and truly. No one found me out though which is good however I looked like a drum come this evening and my dress didn't do much to hide it.

My boobs are like Spanish navals tonight though. Feel rock hard Confused

Good luck for tomorrow @Jpeg

Number4OnTheWay · 03/09/2016 22:33

Mygreen, I've carried 3 pregnancies to term and know I have ways felt bad in the 2nd and 3rd trimester :( never before have I felt this bad in the 1st though

AnnaKateNZ · 03/09/2016 23:30

Has anyone else have low Immunity? I am almost 10 weeks and have had two awful colds!

ChatEnOeuf · 03/09/2016 23:40

I too am so bloated. I never had anything like it first time around, but with DS it was fairly awful too.

Anteverted uterus is normal, more common than retroverted I think (which is what I have).

Marmite - Nanny State and Bitburger Drive are my favourites. There was a Guardian article about NA beers a couple of years ago that was pretty funny as well as quite useful.

Jpeg, I had spotting attached through the first trimester with DS. It eventually settled down but was a constant source of worry. Hope tomorrow is okay.

ChatEnOeuf · 03/09/2016 23:41

Anna I think we're supposed to drop our immune systems little bit, so we don't attach the little alien inside us. Can't remember, but it has a specific name...

gemsbok · 04/09/2016 06:25

Good luck this afternoon jpeg

I am so bloated. I'm also really constipated, it's getting very uncomfortable. I'm normally very regular!

My pattern seems to be feeling ok in the morning, but exhausted and sicky by the afternoon.

Craving cheesy chips today...

MyGreenSofa · 04/09/2016 07:24

Number 4 - that's a shame. But you never know, this one could be much better 2nd & 3rd trimesters. I hope so for you, it's really rubbish to feel so rubbish.

JennyOfOldstones · 04/09/2016 07:43

My bowels are very lively. The nausea comes and goes for me too, as well as the waves of tiredness. When I feel okayish I try to get stuff done. Pretty sure I felt awful all the time with DD so it's definitely an improvement.

Bellatrixandstrange · 04/09/2016 08:02

Good luck today jpeg.

SharkBastard · 04/09/2016 08:14

Good luck today Jpeg!

I've woken up feeling okish. Managed to get past the day I miscarried last time so that's something positive. I think I have the 2 days rough 2 days okish too!

Our immunity hits rock bottom during the 1st trimester so it doesn't attack that foreign body in our uterus. Pain in the arse though and I fully expect to get colds after colds

Gonna hit the shop later to finish off the school bits shopping, how exciting Hmm
