I am taking pregnacare but only because my friend who recently gave birth had extra from her pregnancy. I might stop and just take folic acid and vid D If it might be causing me morning sickness!!

It helps if you take vitamins particularly after food. May be some of the Pregnecare nausea causes?

@Hortonlovesahoo thinking of you. It must be so hard. xx

I can't remember which I was prescribed last time to be honest kiki

@Kiki275 I'm on antihistamines to help with nausea, dizziness etc and also sleep. Prescribed by my doctor. They are called phenergan

I have pregnacare too but I order it through a subscription service on amazon. Works out you pay much less per box per month than buying it on a shop floor. Also amazon makes sure you get the next box before you run out of you last box. Quite handy x

@caffeinedragon: thank you. I was always told to take the prenatal vitamins directly before eating as it can help with absorbtion

@peanut @Tino Thanks, I get a small rash, primarily on my boobs which I've seen a doctor about before. I think it's hormonal as neither hydrocortisone or canestan worked. It's just a really hard area to discreetly scratch! :) x

@badb solidarity fistbump for the badly sleeping firstborn. He’s 27 months today and has never slept through!! At the moment he is coming into ours bed about 1 but I’m still breastfeeding him so he just wants boob when he then wakes again every couple of hours, which is getting tiring and frustrating....

RIGHT! I'm going to try and stay up tomorrow and not go back to bed after DS goes to school Maybe I'll even get the stew into the slow cooker I've been planning.

I've got to take him to the dentist at 11. Then work at 3. My two most exhausting classes of the week but they are prepared so in theory I'm all good.

I can do this! I can manage the tiredness!

@CaffeineDragon you’re a sweetheart!

@Bertie “supposedly” the more active you are the less tired you feel...problem is I’m too tired to even be asked to be active so have never tested that theory!

Hi all,
Jumping on board still have to get booked in and get scans but I'm roughly 6/7 weeks. 2nd pregnancy and I have a daughter aged 2. I'll add myself to the list as soon as I have Due date. I had a locked cervix last time so will be c section and I'm 40 so ancient in medical terms. I loved pregnancy last time and my mumsnet group became a Facebook group and honestly we are so close and you all seem lovely as well I think it will be similar. Thanks for having me

Me and my husband were trying for 3 years and about to start IVF this year. So were delighted to discover I was pregnant before Christmas and we told our family and friends over Christmas.
Today I got home from work and he told me he doesn't love me or want the baby he changed his mind over summer about everything and was waiting for the right time to tell me but then I discovered I was pregnant. Also he cheated on me just before I found out I was pregnant.
I'm devastated and trying to remain calm for the sake of the baby.
I feel totally lost right now.
Any tips on staying calm?

Goodness that's so hard. My first instinct is punching him but the adrenaline surge might not be good! Has he met someone would he not consider counselling or at least trying to save marriage? To let you tell your family is so cruel. A difficult scenario I hope your not on your own right now. Massive hug and hand holding.

@ehealy
He cheated with just a one night stand. He didn't use protection so I need to get tested. So there's not someone else he's leaving me for
I really want us to try and work through it but he's not as enthusiastic as me. I'm just devastated right now. I thought everything was perfect and he's turned it all upside down.
I love him so much and don't wanna do the pregnancy on my own but equally I don't wanna be with someone who doesn't want to be with me. Due to money marriage counselling isn't really an option. However he will be getting treated for depression soon- he started talking about how low he feels and that he's contemplated suicide etc. I want to support him through it but right now I need the support too.

Hello ehealy and welcome.

kathrynalicem what an awful shock for you. I don’t have any words of wisdom but thinking of you and we are here for you to vent if you need to.

I’m really suffering with exhaustion. In the middle of my long days at work and I think the adrenaline gets me through work but as soon as I finished yesterday I was so sickly and all I could do was lie on the sofa. Hoping it improves soon. Work don’t know yet so can’t make any adjustments not that there’s much they could do anyway as my job is very full on. Also have seen several people with flu recently which scares me. I had my jab yesterday so hope it protects me!

Welcome @ehealy and @Kathrynalicem
I hope you can use us as support whether it’s about your baby or your personal life.
My oh suffers anxiety and only takes half a pill when he feels it coming on. It does help our relationship, we have been in a much worse place. Although I don’t agree about the cheating, if you want it to work you just have to talk. Talk about everything and how you will contribute to making your relationship fun and exciting again. It is hard times but we all go through them, it’s just whether or not you see light at the end of the tunnel xx goodluck

@ehealy welcome! I’m also about 7 weeks and have a 2yr old already!

@Kathrynalicem what a shock that must have been. At least you know what the situation is though and hopefully you can find a way through. Big hugs xx

@Kathrynalicem what an awful shock for you. Very difficult to offer any advice just keep talking to each other and don’t make any hasty decisions.

@ehealy welcome and congratulations!

Kathryn, that sounds horrendous! Totally not what you need right now :(

Do try to protect yourself if you can. IMO - though he may need support - he's kind of lost the sympathy card from you for leaving it so long and having a ONS. The onus is really on him to sort himself out if he values the relationship.

And don't worry about stress, women have babies in war zones, it's not going to harm your baby or cause any damage. Def make sure you have some support for yourself, though, just because everything will be going around in your head at once!

@kathrynalicem what an awful situation for you. No real words of wisdom except try and get support from others if you can?

Maybe it's a good thing that friends and family know you are pregnant so they can try and help if possible.

It's not going to be easy for you but Ive no doubt you can get through it. Lots of women strangely can and do.

Sounds like he does need help with the thoughts he is having but you need to mind yourself and not take on all his crap either. Just because someone is depressed it doesn't mean that they cheat so I wouldn't let that be an excuse.

Would either of your jobs offer counselling? I'm both out companies they give 6 sessions free I think?

Anyone suffer from insomnia? I've had it nearly 6 years and have tried everything and anything. So frustrating as I've absolutely shattered and DH is in the room with the baby so I'm in this lovely bed on my own but can't sleep properly. It's then stressing me out as I'm back in work in 6 weeks to a very busy and stressful job and I just feel like how am I going to cope??

@bunbunmum nice to see another extended breastfeeder - 29 months here. Will be interesting to see how it goes through the pregnancy.

I haven't been on for a couple of days there's lots to catch up on! I feel so sick all of the time and throwing up 4 x a day with dry retching inbetween, the only time I don't feel sick is when I'm asleep! Currently lying in bed knowing I need to be sick but putting it off! Not sure how I'm going to hide this at work.

Just gone to the loo at gp to do sample before seeing midwife and im spotting again. Ffs.

@LadesC what did your GP say?

@Hortonlovesahoo maybe if you take it just as you are eating it's better - so food hits just after? I just know vitamins on an empty stomach have always made me feel ill!
