September 2018 #4: 12 weeks scans and bumps appearing!

[blondie1001]

New thread for September 2018 due dates (and a few at the end of August)

I'm glad it's not just me then @TheBlindspot! I was terrible at work last week, I took everything totally to heart and kept running to the loos to sit and sob to myself! To be fair, they've taken the complete piss this last week but still, I've taken everything to the extreme! Then just had a slight disagreement with a friend over text and I ended up crying about that too! I've also snapped at my poor mum today. I don't remember being this bad with other pregnancies!!

I'm more emotional than usual. DH says I'm being a nightmare taking everything to heart but he's the equivalent of a stale ham sandwich to me right now.

Does anyone work on their feet? Work have reduced my shifts to five hours at a time but I work in an upscale bar and restaurant so I'm always on my feet serving coffees, alcohol and food. Five hours seems wholly manageable right now but it may not be in a few weeks. Any tips?

Hello all! I’m expecting my second in late September. I’m 9 weeks now. I’m working 3.5 days a week and I have a 14 month old. I am so exhausted! When is the tiredness going to improve?!? I don’t remember it being this bad last time!

@IndominousRex My tiredness seemed to have improved by 10 weeks. I'm still exhausted but I can make it past midday without a nap now at least.

@Fia256 I'm exactly the same I've cried three times today already

Oh my god. Today has been horrendous! Threw up my half a coffee this morning and have not stopped puking since 😫 can't keep anything down. I am feeling incredibly sorry for myself. I'm 12+3, why is this happening now?! Even at my worst in the early weeks I wasn't this bad.
I'm hoping it's just a random surge of hormones or something and I'll be back to normal tomorrow.

Mona I dont know how you do 5 hours on your feet. I can't walk most days as my feet hurt that much.

Shut could you have picked a virus up?? Im still feeling very nauseous but not throwing up so ivw reduced my meds (reduced by1 tab a day)

Was eating my tea and could feel baby. Felt like hiccups! Continued for a little bit. Was really nice

@MonaTheMoaner I have a physical job in a hospital I'm on my feet all day I must admit I'm struggling a little I went off at 32 weeks last time as it was too much x

I'm only part time 15 hours a week over three days although working closer to 25 this week as we're understaffed but it kills my back and feet. I get home and my feet are swollen and my back is in bits. Doctor says work is fine with pregnancy and fibromyalgia but god, it's hard. It feels like I've been on my feet for 12 hours after only a few.

I am so emotional today. Back to work tomorrow after a week off and have no idea how I’m going to get through it on so little sleep.

I’ve got things to get done for tomorrow, but my ligaments are sore and cramps and I can’t stop crying. Literally no motivation. Honestly tempted to ring in sick tomorrow if I feel this bad again.

Someone on the other thread mentioned setting up a secret Facebook group - I replied saying PPs wanted to wait until around 12 weeks. But I've just realised that some of us are now at/over 12 weeks! So I've set one up. You won't be able to search for it, because it's secret but it's called Babies Due September 2018. It's completely secret, so no one on your friends list will even know you're a member let alone see any posts. I was in one with my DD (I'm still in it) and it was an invaluable source of help and support. If you want to join, PM me and I'll send you my name (there's only one of me on FB!) so you can add me on Facebook. Once you've added me I can add you to the group and I'll unfriend you after that - don't be offended! If people then want to friend each other they can do so themselves.

@TheBlindspot I didn't even know there was a PM function on here. I don't think I can access it on the app but just went on the web version and I have hopefully sent you a message!

Hang on @RedRobin7 I'll check...

@RedRobin7 I got it! Have replied.

I'm going to wait til Wednesday (scan day) if that's alright blindspot

Yeah of course, just let me know on here if you've PMd me because I don't check my inbox!

@TheBlindspot - I’ve just messaged you too!

Just getting DD to bed and then I'll add you all.

Right, I think I've replied to you all. Let me know if I've missed you, I'm using the app on here and web based MN to reply to I may well have missed someone!
