April 2017 #4 More baby scans, less morning sickness!

Thought I'd start the next thread :)

One I am so so sorry, look after yourself.

Thanks so much for thinking of me everyone. I haven't had any more bleeding since last night, few teeny little niggly cramps but no more than normal. After 20 phone calls I got through to midwife who will call me back. I didn't call EPU as I've had such bad experiences with them, during this pregnancy they have told me I was miscarrying and to take pain killers when I wasn't! I'm hoping because I've had no bleeding today it's all ok.

Lovely scan picture Sarah!

Oh one, so sorry to hear your news. Take care.

So so sorry one, look after yourself xx

So sorry to hear your news one look after yourself

So sorry one

I'm glad you've stopped bleeding jpeg. Put your feet up and rest as much as you can.

Glad you've had no more bleeding Jpeg definitely put your feet up hope you hear from MW soon

so sorry one. thinking of you x

Sending hugs one

Oh, Cook I'm so sorry. Especially after last week's hopefulness.

Glad things have settled down, jpeg.

Oh One I'm so sorry. That must have been such s blow. Look after yourself!

Jpeg - I'm glad the bleeding has stopped. Make sure you get lots of rest.

Celen - maybe I'm not imagining it then! Does the feeling just gradually get stronger?

jpeg glad to hear the bleeding has stopped. Such a worry!

I managed all of 3 hours at work today before admitting defeat. Went to GP as worried I had flu. They think just a virus. Was severely dehydrated though and ketones were through the roof so they've prescribed some antiemetics. Though not taken any yet and have managed to keep a couple of large glasses of water down so hoping won't be needed.

I am currently hiding in bedroom whilst DH puts DS to bed (he will generally settle fine for DH, all hell breaks lose when I get involved). DS is running a 39C fever again after being right-as-rain yesterday. Praying for a peaceful night!

So sorry to hear that one

I'm so sorry One.

Jpeg glad things are sounding a little better with you.

Argh Bubbins what bad timing for your ds to be poorly too but glad you went home. Rest today missus if you can? If ds is home, can you have a tv & blanket day? Don't be a hero with the medication x

TopKitty I can't really remember but I think the feeling came more often, then you start to get poked from the inside as the baby grows

One I'm really sorry, be kind to yourself

Hope everything is okay Jpeg

Full of plague in the Rhubarb house, honey and lemon is just not cutting it. Added a dash of whiskey last night, and I slept much better than the last few still propped up on about a thousand pillows though Hope baby won't mind a little medicinal use of alcohol. Luckily DD is happy to be distracted with a little Cbeebies and her birthday presents - pirate ship and doctors bag have been the ultimate three year old gifts here.

Recommendations for good maternity jeans?! All my old maternity ones are boot cut/flare jeans which seem really untrendy now

Bought some ok straight ones from ASDA but they all seem over bump which I don't like. Bought some jeggings from New Look which look nice but I'm constantly pulling up over my bum. So annoying
Why is it so hard to find under bump skinny jeans that, you know, fit properly?!

Thanks Celen - fortunately DS was fine again this morning so off to the childminders! I am just firing off some work emails delegating everything urgent and will then be crawling back under my duvet! Managing to keep liquids down at least now - currently experimenting with eating dry cheerios one-at-a-time to see if my stomach will take it! The antiemetics i'be been given need to be taken at night so if I've not managed to keep food down today will give them a go.

Oh and MrsRhubarb hope you feel better soon!

Celen - maternity jeans that don't stay up are so annoying! I mostly found over-bump styles stayed in place better, but I think I got some decent underbump jeans from H&M last time (theit standard length is really long, which is great for me, might be less so for others).

Nausea seems to have made an unwelcome and unexpected reappearance here this morning and i am on day 4 of headache it is a bit better today though. DH gave me a nice head massage last night!

Hope you feel better soon Rhubarb and bubbins. Sounds like great bday presents Rhubarb!

Jumping on the maternity clothes recommendations has anyone bought any maternity tights yet and how have they found them?

What size are you marmite? When I was pregnant with ds, I worked in an office. I used to buy next size up tights then cut the elastic at the top for added stretch! Worked ok until I got really round

I'm having problems myself with finding a decent pair of maternity jeans. I bought some jeans and jogging from next both over the bump, kept the jogging but the jeans were a terrible fit so sent them back. Went to h&m and tried some over the bump ones skinny maternity jeans in my usual size, they came up really small, so tried next size up, still too small so I've given up!

That should say jeggings

Sounds interesting Celen where exactly and how far do you cut? Pre-pregnancy size 10 normally buy medium size tights for right lenth so guess could I easily just try buying Large.

choccy I have loads of pre-pregnancy h&m jeans, have always found them small in size and always end up with a larger size than normal! Sounds like maternity stuff is just the same!
