Yay July and Moo! And I hope you are having a good boob day adventure and that you are OK.

Fx for you pinky!

I may have participated in my last sport event today, I was a non-playing sub for the whole match. Still had fun watching though. The warm up obviously exhausted me so probably for the best. I felt mean lying pretending to be partially injured, as the captain who knows didn't want me to risk it. But heard Chemy Alcott on the radio talking about skiing at 6 months its all so confusing about what you should and shouldn't do. Confused

So glad everything is fine ok July!

ImogenTubbs · 08/10/2016 17:16

Great news MooMoo and July. For what it's worth, so far in this pregnancy I've had spotting, cramps, backache, days with no symptoms - all sorts on and off. Not had any scans yet, but feeling exhausted and wildly queasy today, so am hopeful everything is still ticking along nicely. Roll on October 26th, that's what I say (scan date). Hope everyone's feeling ok.

JulyLady7 · 08/10/2016 17:50

Thanks everyone and congratulations Moo! Yes it's such a relief. I'd just rather the spotting didn't reappear, but I guess it's best not to panic if it does. I was really convinced it was all over.

beachsands · 08/10/2016 18:16

Congrats to those who saw baba. I had some spotting just before my 12 week scan with dc2. Hospital said to wait and see if it got worse. It didn't and somehow I managed the 4dat wait til the scan. There was no reason for my spotting. Today I am wiped. Didn't take vitamins yest so no nausea today but I'm shivering with the cold, no appetite and feel like I'm just wishing days away til I feel normal.

Badgerbird · 08/10/2016 19:53

missy and july great news!! What a relief too :)

pinky as you can see on here some people do spot during there pregnancies and all is ok. Must be nerve wracking after the mc's though. Fingers crossed it doesn't get any worse and you have support.

I know what some of you mean about making it seem more real after seeing scan, I felt like a fraud before my scan!! But there is def something in there, thankgod!

Been stripping wallpaper today and feeling like I've been on a big night out - totally wiped, dizzy and sick all day Confused

pinkywink · 08/10/2016 20:04

Thanks for reassurance, taking hope from your good news too July! I haven't had any more bleeding so taking that as a good sign, trying to just relax and not do too much as went spinning Friday night and worried I may have over done it??

Adventuregame · 09/10/2016 07:20

Can't decide if boobs have shrunk back to normal or not - I don't have a good feeling about it all though !

Sonnet18 · 09/10/2016 08:27

I felt horrendously sick yesterday, so much so that I had to cancel plans with friends. However, I woke up feeling like that and hadn't taken any vitamins so I'm guessing it's not them and just a coincidence if I feel after taking them. Feel a bit better today thank god. Hope everyone has a nice Sunday

jennymac31 · 09/10/2016 17:14

Just when I thought I was starting to get over the sickness and nausea (was bedridden from Friday afternoon and yesterday afternoon/evening) I made the mistake of eating something I actually wanted (fried breakfast) and just threw it all back up again. Back to granary toast and cuppa soups, as they seem to be the only thing that stays down!

Adventuregame · 09/10/2016 20:18

Retching seems to be back this evening and boobs very slightly sore again so panic has slightly subsided.............for now !!

Badgerbird · 09/10/2016 21:56

Yay to retching and sore boobs adventure!! Hope it eases your mind a little :)

Adventuregame · 09/10/2016 22:15

Thanks badger - it has made me feel much better (for feeling worse) ! This morning I really thought it was over ! Still wondering about a private scan this week but then I want to pay for harmony test eventually so adding in an extra scan at this stage makes it an expensive luxury ?

Northernexile · 09/10/2016 23:27

Boo to all this sickness and yay! to everyine who had scans in the last day or two. Hope the spotting has stopped pinky. I don't know how you've the energy for spinning though!

I'm feeling nervous tonight. 12 week scan and booking appointment in the morning. Hopefully I'll have something positive to report by lunchtime!

pinkywink · 10/10/2016 04:44

Scanxiety has me lying awake worrying as scan today too Northern, mines not until the afternoon though so hoping work will be a good distractionHmm No more spotting so fingers crossed all ok in there!
Sorry to hear about sickness ladies, but hopefully all good signs of healthy pregnancies

tohaveandhavenot · 10/10/2016 05:37

First time posting due 15th May ( yet to have scan)

For those who have hyperemesis what medication ( if any ) are you on?

Third time around for me and it's worse!

MissMooMoo · 10/10/2016 08:56

adventure glad to hear the pregnancy feelingd have returned!

pinky goodluck today

tohave welcome and congrats!

I am finally seeing my doctor this morning to be referred to the midwife for booking in. Woke up feeling not very pregnant but had a bath and noticed my boobs are like a roadmap and twice their normal size Blush so I think its safe to say I am just anxious a bit!

Badgerbird · 10/10/2016 09:36

It's a tricky one isn't it adventure. It all adds up! I reckon just take it one day at a time and see how you cope as you can often book in pretty last minute at the private scan places in my experience.

I had an early scan (all good) and I have to say I feel like a different woman, in a good way! However I'm guessing it won't last and I'll be shitting myself its gone wrong again before my 12 week scan! My symptoms def aren't as strong as some of the ladies on here and I had a couple of days where I didn't feel sick at all last week. I generally feel knackered, breathless, acid indigestion and sick by the afternoon but I haven't actually been sick yet. We are all so different and every day can be different too.

Anyway I'm waffling. Chin up love and to all the other preggos out there who are scared and anxious Flowers

JulyLady7 · 10/10/2016 09:55

Adventure, funny how the symptoms come and go! I feel happy when I feel awful cuz then I feel reassured! When they disappear, I think the worst!
Having all day nausea now. Someone mentioned KFC yesterday and the thought of all the grease had me wretching!
Thinking of you pinky and your scan today!

IAmSeriousAndDontCallMeShirley · 10/10/2016 10:20

tohave there is a hypremesis support thread in the pregnancy section of MN.

I'm on there, and the advice has been amazing! Currently on cyclazine and had an injection of met last week as was getting very dehydrated.
Come and join the group- it's a fantastic resource. Smile

I see my MW today for booking in (finally!). X

AnneLovesGilbert · 10/10/2016 11:12

Morning all! Welcome tohave, add yourself to the list, and good luck pinky. Lovely to hear of more healthy wriggly beans at recent scans. Mine feels a long way off still in first week of November.

I'm generally feeling more human, managed a whole day without a nap yesterday and nausea persists but totally manageable. Boobs are beyond enormous - I can relate to the roadmap Moo! But I feel very very pregnant, woke up feeling the size of a house.

The reality of bloated chubby pregnancy hasn't matched my vision of staying normal sized till suddenly producing an adorable bump that's only visible from the side at around 16 weeks! Grin

Ignorance was bliss....

AnneLovesGilbert · 10/10/2016 11:13

Hope your appointment goes well Shirley. If they have spare pee pots lying around make sure you grab some!

MissMooMoo · 10/10/2016 11:35

I have my booking in appointment on the 21 of October,next thing to look forward to/count down.
First trimester seems to drag!

Badgerbird · 10/10/2016 11:44

Grin anne I know what you mean!! Somehow even though I feel pretty cynical towards advertising and I'm nearing 40 I can't believe i had been sucked into the whole *blossoming in pregnancy" crap! I'm basically chubby now with a niggly back and not able to fit my clothes brilliantly. Yet my little blob is only 1cm!!?

Attempting to do some gentle exercise today so when my gorgeous neat little bump pops out I'm not super squishy all over :)

Are there many people on here who are exercising?

MissMooMoo · 10/10/2016 11:58

badger I was going to spin 2x a week but stopped when I found out I was pregnant,mainly because I was so shattered and also anxious due to previous mc.
I am still swimming and I walk everywhere, I haven't gained any weight yet.
