Another one joining you all in feeling miserable today. I'm so sick of feeling sick. I feel like a crap mother, wife, friend and employee. I haven't seen any of my friends for about 6 weeks as I work, come home feeling terrible and just lie on couch. My little boy starts the day asking if I'm sick again today. We're living off awful food as I can't face cooking. The house is a mess but I just can't motivate myself to do housework. I'm going through a very competitive promotion process at work and spending most of the day in the toilet, close to tears. This is something I've worked towards for years but I can't function. My poor dh is trying to work, do all the childcare and all the housework and he's shattered as ds isn't sleeping too well at the minute. I even feel like I'm letting the poor dog down as I can't walk him as far as usual.

Sorry, rant over!

Hi, can I join this group?! I had my midwife appointment today and she said my due date would roughly be 3rd October. This is my first child and it's unplanned (long story involving a year long period whilst on the pill). My partner and I are very freaked out (him especially as the last time we spoke about kids he said he didn't want them). We're going to have it but it's definitely not what he wants so I'm worried about him getting onboard as at the moment he's just angry about the situation! Fingers crossed! Xx

Really sorry to hear about your partner melly maybe you can get him to come round by supporting you through your experience here & now, rather than panicking about the reality of a baby in 8 months time... does he know any other dads he could chat to to get some perspective? He probably just feels out of his depth and needs some time to come round. Men eh?? Welcome to the group tho & you can let off steam here!

I'm scared of jinxing myself, but whilst the nausea is still here I've started to feel hunger again (rather than just nausea) and I've even managed to stomach small "normal" meals in the past 24 hours.... I'm so hoping this is it starting to ease off! I'm 11 weeks tomorrow and starting to get tired of vomiting/constant nausea- empathy to others out there in the same boat! Xx

Headache. I have a headache. And no paracetamol 😭 I have worked out I haven't had any caffeine since Friday (no reason other than I just haven't - I have cut down but hadn't made a conscious decision to quit) I'm going to have to to the shop for paracetamol aren't I? Just in case...

I have been feeling hungover/nausea since 6 weeks, I'm 10weeks today and still struggle to eat 3 small meals a day, I found Lemon and ginger tea as well as Ginger nut biscuits really help. I haven't been sick at all (unsure if a good thing or not)

We told both our families a week after we found out we was expecting, only because last year I had a MC and my family were so supportive. This time we got an early scan because of my Bicornuate Uterus and all the complications that come with one, after seeing a healthy heart beat we both told our work places because of all the hospital appointments I will be having.

I'm craving Chicken McNuggets. Or some nice greasy sweet'n'sour chicken in batter. The only problem with this is that I'm vegetarian.

Thank you Polly😃 Yes, I'm hoping he will come around in time. He said he's not going to leg it so that's a start! Xx

under I'm vegetarian too but haven't had any meat cravings, thankfully. What are you going to do?!

I dunno. Indulge and swear DH to secrecy because clearly my body needs it? :)

I really want fish and chips. Like, a lot of fish and chips. And salt and vinegar.

Started taking metoclopramide and my appetite has rocketed.

I've just eaten two five guys burgers 😂

Hi all. confusedat23 would you mind adding me for the 29th?
Ahh it's reassuring to hear it's not just me who's feeling low. I have low self esteem and negative thinking tendencies, and have had an episode of moderate depression in the past, so although I suspected hormones I always worry that I'm spiralling when I feel like this. Misery loves company - sorry people are low, but good to had a place to vent where people get it and can support each other. I'm taking the excuse to really look after myself, take it easy when I can etc.
Today I've had physical symptoms of anxiety i.e. Butterflies, fast heartbeat & breathing. It's really unpleasant and although I'm under mild pressure at work currently it doesn't feel big enough to cause this. Could it be a pregnancy thing?

Witsender that was me a week ago! So badly!!! Proper chip shop chips drenched in vinegar. I've since gone off chips altogether but the only kind that still sounds vaguely tempting is dirty chips. Chipsticks were a good alternative for a day, and now I've gone off those! My poor hubby is trying to keep up with what I do and don't like at the moment as it changes every 24 hours 😂

I feel exhausted today. Had a nap this afternoon. And a bit of a cry at the telly.

I hate feeling this low. But I guess it's par for the course right?

I'm missing dh like crazy. But he's home on Saturday. Can't actually wait to see his face in real life! Only 5 more sleeps.

I've had those Autumn.

Im hoping it's a pregnancy thing as I've never suffered with anxiety - had to google what these symptoms were! Heart beats faster and I get what feels like an adrenaline rush - is that similar?

Comes on out of nowhere without any trigger. I don't feel anxious mentally though when it happens

Hey autumn I'm sure it's hormone-fuelled - I totally relate to the spiralling thing - your brain just wants to join the dots and make sense of it all- but I think if you can just manage to keep ticking over, get lots of fresh air and enjoying small things (food flavours or favourite tv) then before you know it you'll be in 2nd trimester and hopefully less at mercy of the hormone effects. Be kind to yourself - that includes telling yourself it's all gonna be ok

That sounds similar to what I've had ppleasebob. It's horrible isn't it. I've more had it kind of low level all day, but then once in a while I'll have what you said like an adrenaline rush - like the feeling when you suddenly remember something you're really nervous about. And I have to say to myself, get a grip you're only chopping peppers so weird I think it must be pregnancy, if there's one thing I'm learning it's not to be surprised about the crazy things your body decides to do! Fingers crossed it goes for us both soon.

Thanks pollybythesea that's reassuring and good advice it is hard to be kind to yourself sometimes isn't it! but we need to, especially when we're growing a person!

I'm the same guys! Feeling like shit, can't face housework, cooking or eating. House is a dusty shit tip and all I want to do is go to bed when I get home from work, which probably isn't helping my mood.

Got my follow up scan tomorrow morning to try and see a heartbeat. So scared my heart is pounding!!

Definitely won't be sleeping tonight....

did I read someone say about feeling a little lump/ball above ur bikini line/pelvic bone and it being a good thing? I may have imagined it my brain is mush and I'm basically a walking zombie I'm so tired
but 10 +3 today. yay and feeling good in all other areas!!!!

We told the PIL pretty much as soon as we knew - but only because they live abroad and happened to be in the UK for a family wedding the weekend after we tested (and we're not going to see them again now until probably September). [My mum is dead and Dad is a toxic arsehole so no need to tell him.] I told my best friend LITERALLY as soon as we knew (seriously, the pee wasn't even dry on the stick), and two other close friends soon after. We then pretty much had to go "public" last week - at least as far as my work was concerned, because of the bleeding and me having a couple of days off.

I am currently 75% ginger (a combination of ginger biscuits and lemon & ginger tea) and 25% white carbs (cheese straws, cheese on toast, pork pie); that and seabands (well, the Boots own brand alternative at about £2 cheaper) are doing the trick, keeping the queasiness down to a dull roar, although I do look like I'm about to take part in an 80s aerobics session and have bruised circles on my wrists.

I am still bleeding, though, and it's getting annoying (I was looking forward to nine months of no periods!). We have a repeat scan tomorrow morning so hopefully everything will be one week bigger (or possibly more) than last week, and still holding on in there.

Good luck for your scans 88claire and emwithme

I'm just existing at the moment, can't get my mind off Thursday and my next scan. At least once that is done, if all is ok I've only got a week until the next one with the Panorama test. I'll be 9+4 by then. I'm desperately hoping to arrange my dating scan for when I'm 11+5 as I'm due to start my new job the day I'm 12+1 so really don't want to be needing to fit a scan in during that week! And it means I've only got 2 weeks 1 day between the scans, which is long enough as it is!!

Good luck em and 88 x

loopy I know what you mean about the just existing thing. I seem to be just drifting through week by week, counting them off on my pregnant you app. 9 weeks today according to dates. But I feel weird, as in I don't feel pregnant anymore. Still got sore boobs, the occasional nausea (no sickness at all so far), and fall asleep like a switch has been turned off, but other than that I just feel 'normal' if you know what I mean.

Booking in is not til the 24th, then scan on the 11th April. All so far away. Just keep getting this dread that I will have the scan and be told that there is no heartbeat and baby has gone. Keep having that is dream where I am in a competition, have done everything I possibly can to do well, but they announce the winner but it's not me. Sort of feels like that.

Sorry for the negativity, dp is working away a-bloody-gain this week, got no-one to talk to really about all this, only told a very few people, and I had a horrendous day at work yesterday. Literally burst into tears at the vileness of the whole situation, but couldn't explain why. Ah well, off I trudge for another day of crappyness. Weirdly, I remember telling dp that he had better get me pregnant so I can have some time off!

Boxes

I don't feel pregnant anymore. Still got sore boobs, the occasional nausea (no sickness at all so far), and fall asleep like a switch has been turned off, but other than that I just feel 'normal' if you know what I mean.

That is me exactly!!! Your not alone I am starting to feel a little anxious about this but trying not to and just focusing on my appointments!

Booking in on 22nd and scan 11th April .. so we're almost exactly the same there too!!

Fingers crossed we're just the lucky ones ...and on that note, I really do feel for everyone who is having it rough

Also thinking of the ladies who are having scans today
