[Blink1982]

Wow can't believe I'm here 😁 I had a look, but couldn't see any other threads. Hopefully I won't be alone.

This will be our second baby. DS is 3.... 4 in january. EDD should be about 2nd August I think.

Hope I'm not alone for too long!

We told parents on Christmas day which was amazing!!! But we're telling other people - brothers, sisters etc after our first scan. This is my first baby and I've got a friend who suffered many miscarriages so we're being super careful.

Just a huge thank you to those that have given their kind words. I truly appreciate it during such an exciting time for you, it's been very comforting x

Anyone else currently feeling like death warmed up, convinced they'll never have the pleasure of not feeling sick, being comfortable and not feeling as if one is about to turn into a crying fountain of tears every 3 seconds?

Cause I am 😡

another update, hope it's correct

7+4 today, told parents & inlaws so far. feeling so tired & so ill! most of the day is constant nausea/headaches/struggling to eat :(
hoping the nausea lifts soon

Jaffa cakes, same... :( not been sick but put off by all food which sucks because I'm starving, the only think I can stomach is fruit and WOW a lot of expectant mothers my Ed is 10th btw

Happy Christmas all! Obviously not posting enough this thread dropped off threads I'm on list. Scrolling back to catch up now.

So we survived Xmas without telling anyone which I am happy about - whether my parents believed my non drinking reason or have guessed the truth is another story!

Think i am safe to avoid others suspicions now as I did dry Jan last year so am 'doing' it again this year. No nye plans and hopefully should have 12 week scan at the end of Jan.

Feeling pregnancy is going a bit faster now anyway.

Hope everyone has had a nice Christmas, and hasn't been suffering too much! I have had an awful cold which has won out over tiredness and sore boobs. The ache in my abdomen seems to have died down for now which is great. I have entirely gone off chocolate through which is very unlike me! Despite this and not drinking I have put on 3lbs already which I am not impressed about! Already overweight so was hoping not to put too much on. Not sure what I'm doing wrong!

Managed to get through Christmas without raising too many suspicions thanks to DH taking strategic sips of my glasses of wine (and finding excuses to go into the kitchen to tip it down the sink at regular intervals).

My appetite is fluctuating loads - I'm either feeling ropy as hell and dry heaving into the toilet with food being the last thing on my mind, or STARVING to the point of tears and needing food IMMEDIATELY!

Only 6+1 - it feels like there is a looooooong way to go.

Great work on the EDDs jaffacakes - according to the NHS calculator thingy mine is 23 August

Oky - I have completely gone off chocolate too (which is unheard of)! I was given loads for Christmas and it is all sitting untouched in a cupboard...

I was given loads of booze for Christmas - 10 bottles of wine I think!

Have been really poorly the last few days. Full of a cold, nauseous and a bladder infection which doesn't seem to be clearing up anytime soon so feeling very sorry for myself.

We told parents and siblings on Christmas Day, everyone very happy!

Firsttimer my grandad gets everyone in my family booze for Christmas so I have a huge bottle of vodka sitting in my kitchen that I can't touch. Also got a magnum of prosecco (although I dished that out last night to family) and another special gold bottle of prosecco that is going to be saved.

I ate one single chocolate from a box of Roses yesterday. One. Got lots of booze too which will be sitting in the wine rack until I can get rid of it!

Ladies. I'm touching wood right now. I think I've turned the sickness corner wooooo. 9wks today and I've managed to have my first cup of tea in three weeks and I didn't heave at it!!

Hi ladies, merry Christmas!

Sorry to hear a lot of you are feeling under the weather.

I haven't had spotting (yet) but when I had my first Dr apt at 4 + 2 I was told it's common at 5 and 6 weeks and will likely be implantation bleeding.

Had a lovely Christmas with all the family. Nausea is being kept at bay by travel bands. Told everyone here so no need to hide the effects. Took the pressure off. Missed the champagne and pate even more so! Worth it though. I've always had such a sweet tooth but now all I want is savory. Is anyone else like that?

Ooh yes wanting, all I want is cheese/crisps!

(Thanks for the message about spotting). X

Strange about the chocolate coco and zig, im off all sweet things too, I have had a Ferraro rocher in my bag for three weeks and have not been tempted which is totally unlike me... the only thing I can stomach is juice and fruit...surviving off inventive fruit salads at the moment...still no nausea AH

I planned to go sales shopping today with my sister, but nausea got the best of me. Ive been in bed all day and haven't eaten a thing. This is going to be a tough pregnancy if this is any indicator.

Chicken nuggets and bread here. Even normal chicken doesn't appeal! Had been doing slimming world so haven't had bread since July until now.

I've suddenly started feeling awful in the afternoons... shattered!

wanting I'm the same, I have a real sweet tooth but now I really want salty foods, especially bready type things. I'm gluten intolerant which makes it tricky.

I find that Rude Health ginger and tumeric oatcakes really help with nausea/ms, they're plain in terms of fat and sugar.

It was just the two of us for Christmas, so it was very relaxed, I don't think I could have coped with a big family gathering of my aunts, cousins etc as I wouldn't want to tell them yet as they would tell everyone they've ever met.

Got my midwife appt on Thursday I'm hoping to have another scan at 10 weeks as I'm getting the Harmony test done and they scan when they do the bloods.

Full blown nausea today, for the first time, at 6+3! I've never felt so awful before! Ever! I love it!

Off chocolate here too and really only fancying savoury things. Potatoes/pasta are my main food groups right now as everything else isn't appetising at all. Had some nausea this morning but went for a walk then had a bacon sandwich and I feel better now :)

Hi everyone

Managed to survive Xmas here without telling anyone and don't think I aroused too much suspicion (thanks to non-alcoholic wine from Sainsbury's looking similar to prosecco!) my hubby hid the bottle and we topped my glass up in the kitchen all day

Great news on the tea Blink! :)

I'm eating everything in sight... currently catching up on MN tucked under duvet while DS naps - eating most of a chocolate orange Having said that mornings are the worst can't even stomach water until at least 10am then it's like I'm a hoover! 🙈

Counting down to Friday for my booking in apt with midwife. Getting nervous that I'm not feeling very "pregnant" some days and having bad dreams so hoping everything is ok. Can't wait to get my scan date. Haven't bothered with a private one although might do if I keep having dreams!

Enjoy the rest of the festivities everyone and hope the sickness eases for some of you soon x
