Thanks for doing the list tiny x

punkpuffin · 11/02/2017 19:28

I love the list tiny

tammie49 · 11/02/2017 19:36

Well done on the list @tiny

krakentoast · 11/02/2017 19:55

Wow there's tons of us now! I've not been here for a few days but it's great to see so many people in the club. I'm at 5+5 right now and have had some real waves of nausea this week but no actual vomming so far.

I'm also hungry all the time but right now the thought of actually eating most kinds of food makes me feel ill so I'm eating less than normal (which is good because last week I was eating anything that kept still long enough). Yesterday I took one bite of a chocolate bar and then gave the rest to my husband, which is unheard of, and past me would be utterly horrified.

conkerchops · 11/02/2017 21:11

Welcome and congratulations newcomers! Such a lovely long list now! I have felt
Really nauseous for the last two days and have had v painful nipples which only calm down if I stay nice and warm! Which today has been v hard! Took ds to the cinema to see the lego batman movie in the vue that has those lovely reclining seats and was so tired I slept all the way trough!!!!
We have told parent and my sister and best friends - we are all going on holiday tomorrow for half term and would have been v v hard to hide it from them!

DancingUnicorn · 11/02/2017 22:27

Oo, have a wonderful holiday conker!

I've been crying at everything today! But feel relatively normal other than that. So strange...

Emberblu · 11/02/2017 23:04

Any one know if you can get food cravings this early? All I know is I really want authentic Japanese ramen today! So badly! I would even settle for stew with noodles!
I've had less cramping today which is nice but extremely bloated blergh

punkpuffin · 11/02/2017 23:18

Ember I can't stop eating bread and cheese. Nothing else will do. And I can't stand biscuits which is odd for me because I can get through packets and packets. Dh offered me a biscuit and I was actually sick. So yes i think cravings are possible this early!

punkpuffin · 11/02/2017 23:20

Also my cravings make me think I'm having a girl as with my 2 boys I went off certain savoury food but ate a lot of sweet food. I'm also getting mild sickness which I never had with my boys.

Reddy4no2 · 12/02/2017 00:37

Hi ladies
So first post for me. I got my BFP last week. TTC no.2 and four cycles in and we caught. Its all a bit of a shock still, I've been on holiday and working a lot so its not quite sunk in yet. My son is 2 and will be 3 by the time this little'un arrives.
So far I'm feeling shattered, however that's nothing new.
Hope you are all feeling well

Kirsty8333 · 12/02/2017 09:02

The nausea has really kicked in for me now. Constantly feel sick apart from when I am eating! Really worried I am going to put on weight and people will start noticing. Only 5+5 so got a way to go yet aswell. Has anybody got any suggestions for helping with nausea?

DancingUnicorn · 12/02/2017 09:02

Congratulations reddy! Welcome!

TinySalmon · 12/02/2017 09:10

Kirsty flat full fat Coke, white carbs, and ginger biscuits, plus sea sickness wrist bands (available at Boots) and maybe a visit to the GP for anti-sickness meds if it gets unbearable.

Lamaitresse · 12/02/2017 09:46

Kirsty I'm also 5+5 but already on nausea medication due to past pregnancies. Just keep eating what you feel like eating, think you're a slave to your hormones at this stage! Perhaps think about trying acupuncture too maybe?
My gp also recommended ginger tea - you need root ginger, cut it into little chunks, soak it in warm water for two hours, then remove ginger. You can then warm up smaller portions and add lemon/honey but she said not to heat it up too much as the ginger will turn bitter if cooked. I can't quite stomach the thought of it so haven't tried it yet - I'm living on bacon and waffles at the moment (not together 😂)

Congrats reddy sounds like a lovely age gap 😊

Ember definitely not too early for food cravings, or even food aversions - see above 😄

10storeylovesong · 12/02/2017 10:06

I'm with you all on the nausea. It's constant, with spells of retching but nothing actually coming up. The only time I don't feel sick is when I'm eating salty carbs - I'm going to be the size of a house. I've gained so much weight already as can't exercise (high risk) and living off crisps and Bombay mix. Luckily I've now gone off coffee too as I was really struggling without it at first!

Kirsty8333 · 12/02/2017 10:39

Thanks tiny and chintaria I will definitely give some of them a try.

I'm with you 10storey I'm going to end up being huge! One plus point is I don't really fancy chocolate or sweets at the moment

DancingUnicorn · 12/02/2017 11:13

I'm so not looking forward to constant nausea! Only 5+2 today, and having occasional mild nausea, but nothing too bad yet. Dreading how this will develop this week!

TippetyTapWriter · 12/02/2017 11:36

Five weeks today, yay! Will make a gp appointment tomorrow. Didn't want to do it any earlier. I'm normally very rational but pregnancy makes me superstitious!

Hope everyone is doing ok and sympathies to the ladies feeling sick!

punkpuffin · 12/02/2017 11:57

I just ran into an acquaintance when I popped to the shop and she looked at my belly and asked are you expecting your 3rd?
I can't be showing at 8 weeks!!

Lamaitresse · 12/02/2017 12:03

puffin what did you say?! I'm having to hide my 3rd baby tummy under scarves and layers - thank goodness it's winter 😂

Allykatz · 12/02/2017 13:05

Hi everyone. So it's been a week since I found out. Hardly told anyone. But feel rough. My nausea is not as bad as last time. But it waves over me at intervals. So I think I just need to eat little but often otherwise I feel really bloated.
This will be my 2nd. My Dd is 5 and will be about a month away from 6 when this little one comes.
Have a new role at work and constantly worrying about telling them as I may not be able to go into my new role if preg. So that's constantly going round my head as well as what have I done to myself again haha. I didn't enjoy my first pregnancy! I wish the stork was real haha

DrunkenFlamingo · 12/02/2017 14:50

Hello everyone,
I did my first test yesterday, second today - both positive so looks like we'll be welcoming our baby (my 1st, his 3rd) in October. It's not all sunk in yet. I'm feeling exhausted and have bad heartburn, but other than that I'm ok. When do i need to see the doctor? Xx

punkpuffin · 12/02/2017 17:01

chintaria I just thought fuck it and said yes. I've announced it to everyone today, mainly because I'm spending a lot of time throwing up and people are noticing.

flamingo congratulations. Ring your gp surgery and ask for a midwife appointment.
