I've been feeling so nauseous, along with the metal taste all the time. That makes me want to eat or drink to get rid of the taste, but then I feel sick, so can't win either way
I never had any pregnancy symptoms with DD or DS!
Only about 7-8 weeks, going for a private scan on Thursday to give me a better idea.

I've managed to maintain weight despite eating nothing but rubbish and carbs. I lost quite a bit in the first few weeks but since being on the ondansetron I'm not being sick as often. I am currently living off rubbish food as for some reason anything remotely healthy comes straight back up. The McDonald's breakfast this morning stayed right where it was!

Need some moral support. It's my partners 30th birthday party tonight, I've spent half the day in the loo and the other half sleeping. I'm trying to put a brave face on but I'm absolutely dreading it! Also nobody knows were expecting and I usually a drinker so hiding it will be difficult especially if I'm running to the loo every two minutes.

Aghhhhh. Also the thought of tapas turns my stomach and it's a tapas restaurant 🤢

Anyway hope everyone else is well!

Ah, 88claire, hope at you're not feeling too rough/exhausted. Make sure you let your partner know how you're feeling so that they can be your secret support. I went to a tapas restaurant with a friend a few weeks ago - it's been my favourite type of food and way of eating for a long time, but that night before I went out I felt like I couldn't face any of it and was so bloated. Once I got there, I did surprisingly well considering. That evening, I said I was doing dry February! Perhaps you could arrive early, quietly let someone working there know, and find a lookalike drink for the evening (tonic without the gin/vodka?). I'm always ready to say that I'm just feeling a bit under the weather (as a back up), but haven't actually needed to use it yet. For me, terrible nausea seems to come and go in waves, and is often helped by eating (but it has to be what I fancy!). Do hope that it goes OK for you and that you can have an enjoyable evening. Rest assured that lots of us here can empathise!

⭐️ xx

Thanks so much *starfish

I don't want to put a downer on his evening but he knows I'm feeling rough. I've just taken an antisickness tablet In desperation so hopefully that will kick in. I did the seating plan and I'm next to my partner, mum and sister who all know so hopefully that will detract the attention a bit! I'm loving tonic at the moment so that's a very good idea!

The food could be an issue, I just don't fancy it but I know there's cheese platters so will stock up on that hopefully. I'm loving cheese at the moment.

It's silly cos I'm managing work but I think it's so busy I don't have time to think about feeling unwell!

Thanks for the support and I'll get back to you how it went

88claire massive, massive empathy from here! I've also spent half the day bent over the loo and the other half sleeping, husband just managed to help me to the supermarket to get fresh air and after 20 mins I'm exhausted again! I was having a proper pity party earlier as I've been looking forward to the weekend so much just to have a break from work (which like you, I soldier through despite a 1 hour commute each way) and just felt so miserable to have spent half my weekend feeling so bad. On the plus I've stocked up on snacks so hopefully can stave off the nausea a bit better this evening. Hope your tapas goes down ok (and stays down!) xx

Bit worried. Been feeling a bit off all day, dizzy, banging headache and nauseous, as well as being grumpy and moody as hell. It's got worse, feel like I am seasick or on a boat, and have got a dull ache in my right side...

Was supposed to be going out to see friends this evening, but I've forced dp go and am lying in a darkened room worrying and feeling really odd.

So much empathy for everyone feeling crap.
10 weeks today and just vomited for the first time! And it was a good en!
Also had a 3 hour nap today and I'm ready to sleep again now. Ugh.

Claire i hope your Tapas evening is going well! I am also finding if i have time to think about what i'm going to eat i work myself up into feeling sick just thinking about it... but if its something i know i like as soon as i start eating it i remember why i like it and the sickness goes!

Also i'm another one on the mcdonalds hype! I love the fries at the moment its the salt i'm craving i think but yum!!!! Lol

Boxes i hope you are feeling better too hun! I get Cluster Headaches/migraines and so completely sympathise! I find a really cold wet flannel on my forehead/eyes will help me sleep it off... although remember if it gets too bad please seek medical help! I avoided it for years and was told off very severely in A&E about why i had not gone in before!

Anyone else finding it very difficult to take their vitamins? Firstly they make me gag and I find them so hard to swallow (never been a problem before pregnancy), but also I'm supposed to take them with a main meal/on a full stomach which is never! Do you think I can just take them right before bed and they'll still be digested? As long as I don't throw it up that is... 🤔 I haven't taken one for at least 3 days feel very guilty for sure

Emerblu I always take mine right before bed and hope I fall asleep before I vomit!
Another one here feeling very sorry for myself and done nothing except lie on the floor next to a sick bowl all day. Fingers crossed tomorrow is better for us all. X

Thanks charmanar I wasn't sure if I could but I guess it's better than none at all I know what you mean about hoping you fall asleep before you vomit haha, I try and force myself to stay in bed sleepy for as long as poss in the mornings too but it usually doesn't work... eating 2 digestives now and will take my vitamins after then straight to bed! Hope you feel better tomorrow!!

Hey everyone. Got back from Iceland yesterday, it was so nice to spend some time with DP all to ourselves for 6 whole days! Back to work now though.. my 12 week scan is on Friday! Am I the only lady here who hasn't had any earlier scans? I sometimes worry that I don't 'feel' pregnant all the time.. no bump yet, no extreme symptoms (not humble bragging I promise!). Does anyone else get this? I'm hoping the scan will make things more real!

88 how did your evening go? I'm out with friends for tapas next week and dreading it, not so much the eating as keeping most things down now, but the overwhelming smells.

@GimbleInTheWabe I'm the same got my 12 week scan tomorrow and it will be my first, and feeling very apprehensive about it as I just don't know what to expect. I haven't had many symptoms either... I've woken up this morning not feeling at all pregnant!

Gimble no scans for me either, now 11 weeks. Still 2 weeks til my scan.

Gimble, glad to hear at you had a good time away. I've not had had an early scan either - my first scan is two weeks tomorrow when I'll be 12+2...

Lottbarn, hope all goes well for you tomorrow.

⭐️ xx

Thanks ladies! Glad to know I'm not the only one. When I read my post back I was worried it sounded like I didn't care about being pregnant (which is def not the case!) so I'm glad you caught the drift of what I was saying! I'll be 12+3 on the day of my scan and then the following two days (if everything goes well) we'll be telling DPs fam and then my fam so it's going to be full on! Not sure what to expect

With my first pregnancy we didn't have any scans until the 12 week scan - didn't even cross our mind! This time, I had to find out after 4 mc last year and 3 years ttc. I wouldn't have done otherwise.

Anyone else finding their symptoms are so erratic? Yesterday I felt nauseous but could function and even walked round the zoo all day with my ds (with a bag of beef jerky which miraculously kept the sickness at bay!). Today I've woken up feeling like I've been hit by a bus and spent the first hour just bringing up bile. It makes no sense!!

Gimble hope you enjoyed Iceland? 😍
I also am anxious nothing is happening and don't 'feel' pregnant, but also haven't booked an early scan. Waiting until 12week scan which is 11th April... pleaseee hurry!!!

Good luck for tomorrow lottbarn

10storey i agree, early scans are really important and can give such relief. If it was just me I probably would have had at least 1 scan already but my DP really wanted to wait, think he needed some time to get used to the idea! But the last 2 weeks he's been counting down the days and is so excited. And yes ive also had such inconsistent symptoms, whenever I think I know what to expect they change or disappear.

Iceland was amazing thanks Glitter! It snowed pretty crazily so sadly no northern lights but the landscape is unreal! The secret lagoon was the best, like a massive bath. Also my scan felt like aaggges away but has completely crept up on me so don't worry it'll come!

Sorry lott I missed your message! Good luck for tomorrow!!! Do you have much of a bump yet? Think mines hidden somewhere under my... protective layer ha. I'm a size 14 so i think leaner women show more maybe?

Thanks everyone! I'm really nervous, did have a dream that I had my 20 week scan last night and that I found out I was having a boy and it was all positive so fingers crossed that's a good omen! Iceland sounds amazing! Gimble tbh I think I just look like I've gotten fat, i can just about still fit in my jeans (size 10/12) but they get uncomfortable and I have to do the hair bobble trick. Anyone else got a bump yet? But I don't think to anyone else I would look pregnant.. work don't seem to have an idea... my boss will be shocked on Tuesday when I break the news! (I only took a promotion end of Dec) got pregnant in Jan so a bit worried about how they will take it but he is lovely, so hoping he'll be pleased for me.

10Storey also having erratic symptoms. Felt fine the last couple of days but feeling awful today and was just sick in the sink while taking a shower. Definitely feel like that's a new low!

Lottbarn I'm the same, I just look fat at the moment rather than pregnant and can only fit in one pair of size 10 jeans which is a bit annoying as I worked really hard to fit into them last year and thought I'd have a couple of months before I needed new clothes.

Good luck to everyone having scans in the next couple of days, hope they all go well 😊
