Starting a new thread

Hi all. 10 +4/5 today. Booking in appt tomorrow. I have lost a bit of weight because I can't stand my pre-preg snacks of crisps, which I can normally get through in vast quantities - I actually found an expired bag of Kettle Chips in the cupboard this weekend.

cold I am also very tired, and sleeping terribly. Feel like I'm on a newborn schedule

Good luck with scan dixie!
I found out I've put on 1.5kilos at my appointment on Friday. Bit down about it as I don't usually carb load quite so extravagantly! It's just horrid feeling so rank all day. 10+1 by lmp but doc put me at 9 weeks by scan. I hate the time dragging! Just want to be able to share our news with family and friends and start to come to terms with some practicalities... Feeling homesick today

I feel your pain flymo. I can see I've put on weight. Feel so bloated and sick and tired. Can't wait for 2nd trimester. We have 3 weeks to go - we can do this.

Morning everyone! I'm 3lbs up at coming up for 11 weeks so really ok with that - especially as I carb load and cant exercise due to sickness. I'll go back to tracking on my fitness pal once I feel better (not to loose weight but to keep track) and I'd like to exercise too. At this point with my DD I was coming up to a stone of weight on so anything better than that!

I had a slightly better day yesterday nausea wise, low level all day and only one or two nasty peaks. Managed to batch cook and sort out the freezer which would have been unthinkable a week or so ago.

My DD has a stinking cold so am trying to avoid that at all costs!

Good luck with the scan today Dixie!

I read something on the august thread that rang true - after the twelve week scan it's almost like a new beginning where you can get excited, share the news freely and hopeful feel better so can start to enjoy it. Bring on the 24th!

Pink sounds like a nightmare. And must be so unsettling for you to suddenly have your house disrupted!!

Morning - is it really morning already? I feel like I've only had 5 minutes sleep and that I could sleep for at least a whole month!!
I so don't want to get out of bed

Morning all (is it?). I have been up since 2.45 with a dodgy stomach.

Of course I am not allowed any drugs to stop the diarrhoea 😩 And had to come into work today as have meetings and a contract to get out door today. Going to try get home by lunch.

A bottle coke is the most I can take to try settle my stomach, i hate coke, how do people drink this stuff? And it has caffeine in it too, so no comforting tea or coffee for me today.

Any other remedies for me that you know of?

Lily i hate coke too, but i was addicted to the stuff last pregnancy I was drinking so much of it it was my craving, so gross. Think it might have had something to do with the migraines I had, made them better perhaps but really hoping I do t have the same issue this time as really want to be healthier this time.

Sickness has ramped back up again for me too. Booo!

I've lost over 3kgs at last weigh-in, similar to last time but it all went back on quickly as soon as I got the second trimester hunger!!

Coke helps settle my stomach too - have invested in caffeine-free but at the mo I am willing to go with whatever stops me feeling/being sick!

8+3

On a positive 11 weeks today! Yay!

One week until scan. Will be so good seeing everyone's scans coming through

Positive thinking...!

First time posting in here, im 8 + 4. Got two kids and I had an early miscarriage last year.

Cant wait for my scan to check that everything is ok! Hard not to worry.

Afternoon all, we told our parents and our best friends over the weekend so it's nice to have it a little out in the open. I have my booking in appt tomorrow and then scan in 2& a half weeks....can't come quick enough.

Sorry for all of you feeling so sick...I'm queasy with sore boobs, heightened sense of smell and absolutely knackered but sounds like a bed of roses compared to some of you!!

Is anyone starting to feel abit better yet im now 11 weeks and have felt much better the last two days. Im happy but slightly worried at the same time. Ive been using my doppler once a day for the last few days for reassurance. Trying not to use it much but i can find the heartbeat pretty quick so not using it for more than a couple of minutes. Count down is on for scan next Thursday.

sugarplumfairy2010 our scan date is the same day! I'm so excited:) I'm 11 weeks tomorrow so just one day behind you 😊 I was thinking about getting dopple machine but was told it's hard to find a heartbeat so early?
I felt better over the weekend but the sickness is back today and yesterday.. sort of made me feel better tho 😬 I haven't been sick so i think I'm having a easy time compared to other!! Hope everyone is ok today?

10+6

Have been able to find the heartbeat easy this week but i got it at 9 weeks found it once then couldn't find it for the rest of the week so im not sure i would recommend one to be honest. I will probably barely use it once ive had scan next week then stop when i feel baby kicking. Have felt sick all day every day for the last 6 weeks but wasnt sick loads. Its still nice to be feeling better. What time is your scan mine is 8.30!

Yeah I can imagine it can be stressful if you can't find the heartbeat.. well I guess I've only got just over a week left until my scan so I might as well wait 😬 Mine is at 10.40 😊

Yeah i got it because i had a mmc last year so really nervous this time but it scared me more when i couldn't find it.

Sorry to hear about your MC sugar my SIL did the same thing! It's good to have the reassurance 😊

Scan all good. Measured just above 45mm but had to have sugary drinks and bounce about to get baby in the correct positon to do NT

Eek 11+2 today x

Congratulations on the scan Dixie! Mine is on Monday. I was wondering if others were telling people after the scan itself, or after the results of the combined screening come back (if you are having it done)? Part of me thinks I should wait til after the test results, but I'm also sick of hiding it. And my stomach is getting pretty big now.

Hi all ☺ im 8 + 3 waiting for my scan in 4 weeks.....
Was reading posts earlier about drinking coke and after a massive wobble this morn purchased some and yay, it helped. Just wondered - are you buying aspartame free?

Dixie lovely scan picture.. it's so clear 😊😊

WhatwouldRuthdo I'm telling people as soon as I have the scan.. i can't hide it much longer its so hard! I don't know how people hide it for longer as I'm so big already I'm sure people know but won't ask just in case they're wrong 😬

Ha Amz, I have the same problem. Partly lack of stomach muscles second time round and partly eating everything in sight as I've been so tired. I was 5lb up a few weeks ago and refuse to go anywhere near the scales now.

jelly I'm still having juice that contains aspartame but I have cut down on it a lot! With coke I worry about the caffeine in it more.. But would still have one a day if I fancied it :)

WhatwouldRuthdo I have no idea why I'm so big tho..this is my first 😊 Me too, I can't stop eating and I've gained about 7lb so don't feel to bad!!! X

Dixie such a lovely scan!

I've got my scan on Friday and it can't come soon enough! X
