[LostMyBaubles]

Got my bfp 2 hours ago
Still can't sleep lol

Got it a week early af was due 30th

Anyone else??

Alsooooo been feeling very sick and now have lots of heart burn

Whoever it was on here who recommended sea bands I LOVE YOU, you have changed my life. I was getting to the point I could barely eat anything and now I feel hungry again

@Honeycake86 I am so sorry to hear you’re news.

@Babydreaming omg yes. I now travel with a packet of crisps in my bag. Have just bought salt abs vinegar from Tesco and I don’t normally eat crisps.

I don't know about cravings but I have totally gone off weetabix!

I made myself some for breakfast managed 3 mouthfuls before it went in the bin and the thought of it now makes me want to be sick!

I have an early scan tomorrow morning following a little spotting.

I will also be consultant led as my BMI is over 30. It's made me all the more scared now. I have asked my midwife and she has said it's fine for me to try and lose weight. Which I know is in an ideal world, but I'm certainly going to try. I have a healthy eating advisor coming to see me and she will weigh me monthly. I am a weight watchers member so I just need to pull my finger out!

@hettyturnip @sugarskulllover I have the opposite problem! My natural BMI is 17 so last time I was under consultant for being underweight and had to get growth scans. It was super stressful as they thought that my baby would be tiny and it looked like it on the scans! He was born at 7lb so not huge but not abnormally small! I wanted to try and make an effort to put on weight before getting pregnant again but it’s come as a bit of a surprise!

I've had the strongest craving for some apple Tango today. I went to the shops at dinner and all they had was fresh apple juice and some Appletiser. It's hitting the spot though!!
Pregnancy does weird things to you...

Good luck for tomorrow sugar.

I just want to eat tuna (but obviously can’t have over the recommended allowance!)

Only a few hours before the Christmas hols begin.

Adding myself to this too. A few of you due on the same day as me

I think I've made it public. Used Google sheets in last antenatal club and it worked well.

I've added us all on! :)

oh great thanks. I'm on my phone at the moment, so I couldn't easily do it.

Well done emmasmum

Those of you worrying about BMI related consultant led care needn't. I had this with DD and all I had was one additional appointment where they weighed me, realised I hadn't put on masses of weight whilst pregnant and other than making me do the Glucose test left me to it. Got to give birth with just a MW in a natural birthing centre. Hopefully things will go the same way this time!

Hi,

@HoneyCake86 I really hope that you are doing ok and you have people around you to support you.

@Hana327 in regards to my 30th I'm very much undecided especially given that my birthday is in July so will if all goes well will not necessarily be feeling hugely mobile at that point.

Is anyone else having to work shifts all through Christmas and New Year as well?

I had a scare yesterday evening. I started bleeding. My husband spoke to the hospital who told him to bring me in. They did a scan and showed us that all was still ok and we could even see the heartbeat. Apparently I’ve been overdoing it a bit and need to slow down even more than I already have!

I'm on my phone and have no access to the sheet to add myself but if possible please could someone add me.

E2017 - DC1 Due 13/08/18 I'm in the Midlands.

HoneyCake so sorry I hope you’re ok

I don’t really have any cravings, mainly just gone off everything. I’ve just been to the supermarket and everything is making me feel sick. I do feel generally rubbish and exhausted. I fancy a takeaway tonight yet the thought of it simultaneously makes me more nauseous. I think I’ll put my sea bands back on.

I finished work today for 5 days so pleased about that. Not that it’ll be a rest having a toddler running around!

E2017 fab news about the scan!

I’ve added myself to the list - EDD 2 Aug and I’ve got my 12 week scan date already. Booking appointment was last week, seems very real now!

Glad everything went OK E2017. I had spotting for two weeks and I've been on constant knicker watch!

@E2017 great news about your scan! Must have been lovely to see. I’m also working between Xmas and New Years unfortunately!

I have an early scan tomorrow...it’s super early so preparing myself for the likely possibility that nothing can be seen yet...but hoping! Not sure I’ll sleep tonight!

Have added myself onto the doc :)

I had an early scan today, there was a heartbeat which is reassuring, although the actual ultrasound age is 6w6d rather than my LMP of 7w5d...

This morning I tried to get out of bed for work and pulled my back so badly I went into shock! It's so painful O can barely move and have been stuck in bed all day. I have so much to get done, total nightmare.

So many of you are having early scans. Can you just request that or are you paying privately? I didn't think the NHS usually offered one until 12 weeks?

I dont think its routine, only if you have complications, previous pregnancy loss/complications or confusion with dates xx
