New thread for those ladies due in February 2019. As there is so many of us though we could do with a roll call. If I start hopefully the next can cut and paste and we can have a list of everyone!

@jeanzbeanz I feel ya, Ive had a whole week of work - booked before I found out to decorate the house. And I have achieved zilch, I'm so exhausted and getting horrible headaches that make me feel like crap 🤢

@Jeshka07
Ahh so roughly around 8 weeks then :)
Have you had any major symptoms at all ?..

Ahh yeh hopefully there get you booked in soon I'm sure they will :) last time before I misscarried they booked me in at 6 weeks so hopefully your be booked in soon

Ahh I am totally there hun with being a worrier!! It's horrible isn't it to just not panic and freak out but hopefully you can get things booked in like you say and it'll go fast for you

@Jeshka07
Oh just try and not listen to the negative stories hun and try focus it on positives

@LookingAtTheStars89 good luck tmo xxx

@Alicejj8x main symptoms have been sort of mild period pain type cramps but on and off and tiredness and a bit nauseous in the afternoons... pretry much constant painful boobs as well.. luckily no actual sickness yet! How about you?

@Jeshka07
Kind of the same with the sore boobs although they don't feel to bad today and no sickness abit of nausea at times but hardly nothing and then tiredness is the main one for me. Just hope it's all ok xx

I'm sure all will be fine. Just got to stay positive and not stress about every thing lol

Good luck tomorrow @LookingAtTheStars89! Xx

@LookingAtTheStars89 good luck for tomorrow! I felt the same before my scan due to my previous MMC and I’m dreading my next one as much too. Think positive though, I’m sure everything will be perfect 🤞

I’m not really eating healthy right now... I made a roast dinner, it looked amazing and I was so excited to eat it but a few mouthfuls in I had to run to the toilet to dry heave for a bit! So now I’m managing to eat a chewy sweet and bag of crisps. Keep telling myself it’s better to have some food in my stomach than none at all but still worrying me. Of course my body only wants junk food 🤣

@hayleyfx. I’m really struggling to eat as well. I’m trying to have a banana in the morning, soup for lunch and a healthy dinner but all I managed today was a small bowl of pasta and a few chunks of pineapple 😢 my DH thinks I’m starving the baby but he doesn’t realise that it took a lot of effort to eat that never mind anything else!

I think pineapple was on the not to eat list?

@sugarmonkey it's a myth some people say it can bring on labour but in reality you need over 10 pineapples in one go to contain enough bromine

Well that's good to know as I love pineapple

I have had a proper binge day!! It started so well with poached egg and spinach for breakfast... unfortunately followed by pizza for lunch and Big Mac and fries for dinner. (there may have been Doritos as a snack too!) 😬 tomorrow is a new day! X

I so desperately need to watch my weight with this pregnancy but the only food I fancy is McDs. Specifically hot, salty fries. Why can't I crave lettuce?

Only thing I’m feeling is anxiety. Anyone else feeling out of control?

I’ve wanted this for so long and now that it looks like it’s happening I’ve got this crippling anxiety.

I feel totally out of control and worse still it’s about me and not this tiny seed that’s inside me.

I’m worried about feeling sick, I’m worried about how I’m going to cope.

Any tips for dealing with this?

Ugh so annoyed my booking in appointment was today and they just rang to cancel as the midwife seeing me was on call last night, I know no one can help when a babys born but me and DH took today off work...won't be able to take another day off for ages :(

@jeshka07 @alicejj8x my gp didn’t test me. I even made an appointment with the nurse at the same time in anticipation that they would but it was quite the anticlimax. I would have felt better if they had tested me as them I didn’t quite believe I was pregnant. I do now but obviously still worry that something will go wrong...

@leonora94 sorry to hear that - can you take time off if you tell them what it’s for? Obviously not ideal I realise

How is everyone else? Weirdly I don’t feel very sick but I keep retching, haven’t quite been sick yet. Still exhausted 😴 but again slightly grateful for symptoms as is comforting in a way although I realise you don’t have to have symptoms for everything to be ok

The vomiting is properly starting now (isn’t pleasant but it is reassuring) I was just making breakfast, felt so hungry and was looking for are to eat it then had to run to the toilet to be violently sick 🤢 this is tmi - but it even came out of my nose 🤣 oh pregnancy is so glamorous...

@Leonara94 is it possible to tell work so you can have time off for appointments? Sorry it got cancelled, you must be feeling frustrated!

@craftymum1 haha me too! I only want junk food. It would be nice if I was craving veg but the thought of it makes me gag 🙈

I'm feeling so sick at the moment, all day most days being at work is the hardest as they don't know, how do people cope at work?

Urging in the Work bathroom isn't the best

forward not for are 🤦‍♀️

@hayleyfx bless you, I haven't vomited yet but can imagine how awful you feel. I was so bad pregnant with my DD I can't help but feel relieved I've not got it this time....yet 😳 I feel sick now and then but eating usually sorts it, though it does hit me worse between around 5 and 8pm.

@Leonora94 that's rubbish, obvs can't be helped but I'd be equally disappointed. I'm sure work will allow for the time off when needed, or were you avoiding telling them?

I feel anxious at times too @MorayRose, with me it's about managing with 2. All sorts goes round in my head but I just try and distract myself as I think all my thoughts make it a whole lot worse. But if I'm honest, I'm terrified, of the impact on dd, how I'll manage through pregnancy, and all the silly things too. So know you're not alone, I think hormones play a big part in it as I'm usually super laid back x

I'm going to have to get it off some how, I've just been offered a promotion at work though and I'm trying to hold of telling them until I've signed the new contract...sounds bad I know but I don't want to risk it!

Defo just nauseas this morning not been sick but heaved a few times I ate something seemed to keep it at bay. I just hope this is all good signs for Wednesday

@MorayRose I also have been very anxious, despite it being a very much wanted & waited for pregnancy basically as soon as I got the positive test I felt more scared than excited. I think hormones play a big part, plus it is a huge life change coming up, so the feelings are fairly normal. I keep reminding myself how much I wanted to be pregnant, and that no amount of worrying will change anything that's happening inside me! My husband is very supportive too, do you have someone you can lean on? I think it's one of those few times in life when you are quite entitled to leave things to your OH!
