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

[summerskittles91]

Thought I'd start the next thread :)

Just catching up from today...

Mumi ask your DH to sleep else where all night tonight! Then maybe you can get some sleep... You must be shattered!

Onecrazy I had brown spotting from 5-8 weeks non stop and all was fine... Call the EPU if you are worried but the MW told me it's completely normal.

vag of frozen peas so funny! I bet we will all be wanting frozen peas on our vags in about 6-7 months time!!

Great news on the scan knitting!

For the ladies with nausea... This morning I had an apple and ginger juice shot, it was so strong with ginger but definitely helped with the nausea! Although it's been back all afternoon!

Now had a chance to have a proper look through the last few days. Congratulations to all those who've had their beautiful scans! Mine is still 2.5 weeks off so I'm very envious.

Sorry to all those suffering with nausea. My nausea's not been too bad, but the trade off seems to be barely being able to stay awake!

I can't get the image of a vag of frozen peas on the back of the neck out of my head now. Keep bursting out laughing randomly

Quick poll - are any of you taking multi vits with folic acid and are you planning on continuing after week 12?

I know you can stop at 12 weeks but I have been struggling with nausea and as s result eating and drinking crap I normally wouldn't (pizza, fizzy drinks, crisps etc) and do have been thankful for the vitamins. At least I know my body is getting what it needs.

What is everyone else planning?

Sorry about the typos!

My sickness has eased off yay! Just after 10 weeks, same as last pregnancy. I got some lovely maternity stuff from new look last time, much better than their normal stuff! And mothercare in the sale.

DD has a cold and is full of snot so we are taking turns sleeping in with her and it's my turn tonight. Have a day off tomorrow though.

We haven't told all of our family about baby yet and my MIL has just brought me a wedge of Dolce Gorgonzola. My absolute fave cheese. I am RAGING! Whhhhyyyyy???

Maybe she knows onecrazycook and is looking to see if you eat it😆

Topkitty I take pregnacare and I think I'll just carry on, even though I'm sure it adds to the sickness!

I'm taking pregnacare but forget occasionally :/ sure it makes me feel worse especially when my burps taste like fish

I'm taking pregnacare too and will carry on (when I remember)

I'm only taking g a combined folic acid and vitamin d supplement. I did ask the mw if I should still carry on with the vitamin d when I stop taking the folic acid and she said yes. I might just switch to a pregnancy vitamin.

The fishy burps are the worst, aren't they! Defo dong help with the sickness.

I occasionally forget to take them as well. I'm glad it's not just me.

onecrazycookI wouldn't worry about brown spotting I've had all the colours under the rainbow and still have brown spotting now. Mw said it will taper off eventually.

Thanks Choccy!

I'm sure it's nothing. I feel fine other than a headache (nothing new)

I had my twelve week scan this morning (NZ time). So amazing to see its wee heart beating and legs kicking around! They dated me 12w4d when I thought I was 12w6d. I don't know where they get the two days difference but there we go!

Great news AnnaKate

I can never get tired of seeing scan pictures

Neither, they are amazing aren't they Celen

Lovely clear scan AnnaKate

Dare I say that I actually don't feel as ill this morning?!?! 10+1 and I'm hoping the eye of the storm has passed me last week.

Now all that's left is for me to worry about loss of symptoms then to be floored when they come back! Pregnancy is fun

Lovely scan annakate.
shark I'm 10+2 today and had a slightly better day yesterday - am tentatively hoping a corner has been turned!

Am going to tell my boss and team today eek. I'm planning to finish work at 29 weeks so keen to tell them so we can make plans for my team. Will be a relief to stop hiding my expanding stomach and get a bit of sympathy when I am sick and exhausted in the afternoons

Great scan anna!!

I'm 10+4 today and my symptoms are definitely better... still feel horrendous at times but not all day! Couldn't make it past 8pm last night I felt so rough!

Second half of my booking in app this morning... meant I had a lovely lie in until 7!

Very distressed this morning. Big, dark brown clots on wiping and the odd stabbing pain. I have a scan at EPU at 1.30. Absolutely distraught

Oh onecrazycook, what a worry. I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's nothing sinister. Big hugs and a handhold too xx

Morning ladies, Just catching up from the weekend. great to see another lovely scan anna

Oh onecrazycook here to hand hold. No wonder you are so worried now. I'm pleased EPU can see you today. Keep us updated and come and talk to us to get yourself through the morning xx

Supposed to have a job interview at 6pm too
