February 2019 part 3

[Bluebeee]

Part 3 already! And there is a split in the group. Hopefully everyone joins on this one. Shall we try and get a list of due dates going? I'm also interested to know where people live if they'd like to share. Not sure what other info would be needed. Also if anyone wants to join the fb group let me know.

Bluebeee EDD 10th Feb/ dc2 / Swindon

I was told the nearby birth options at my first appointment: there are two near me (well, both 40 mins away as we live in a village) but I'm going for the birthing centre with hospital next door I think.

So, I bought a Doppler the other day and it arrived this morning. I've just heard baby's heartbeat!!! Nice and fast and strong. It's given me a bit of a boost for this last week before our scan. Gave it to DP to put away so I don't use it again 😂 but I'm grinning from ear to ear!

It's only one! It's just making me feel rubbish lol.
10 +4 at the scan so rough date of 7th Feb got another scan in 2 weeks

That's lovely @Celebelly I'm tempted to buy a Doppler now!

Yes to the sick/hunger! I feel starving after about 1.5-2hours of eating my last meal. My stomach rumbles and hurts with hunger but I feel so nauseous 80% of the day I don't want to constantly eat. Trying to just stick to 3 proper meals and little snacks if I feel starving. It's tough though.
Anyone else feel really sick before bed? Mine is definitely worse later in the day and in the evening.

Lovely scan @twiglet

Thanks I didn't realise it was the wrong way until it came up on here!
I'm just glad everything is OK and I get a bonus scan in 2 weeks time

So I have an emergancy scan this afternoon...pretty sure I am going to be out the game. Don't have a good feeling at all.

Although im still bed bound being horrendously sick with nose of a blood hound. Every other symptom has dissapeared.

Started leaking brown fluid. So looking likely infection has already set it.

Lovely scan @twiglet

Hope your scan gives you positive news @Notquiteagandt

Oh and we are going to Alton Towers on Sunday to take the step kids out as it is OSS birthday today. I’m taking my cousin too for company but presume I can’t go on most of the rides. Haven’t told her yet. What is a good excuse ladies??

I don’t really want to tell the wider family at least until I have my first scan and her mother is one of the people I don’t want to tell.

I’ve said “don’t like” big rides and I don’t really so might have to stick with that.

Slight variation on the hen do / spa dilemma 😬

@AliceRR ear infection so your balance is a bit off and you feel dizzy and sick. Or a water infection and dont want any safety bars etc pressing your middle.

Sure youll think of something

So stupidly I mentioned at the start of my MW appt that I want to have my baby in Leeds (and thought now is a good time as I would like to have my first scan in Leeds too and thought they’d still do the first appointment here) but MW (who was very nice) said Leeds insist on doing first appt so she cannot even do that but she did say she would send of scan card now so I get my scan sooner than later although presumably that means in Bradford so feel I have messed up. And I’m WFH today so I could come to this appointment!

On the plus side she has sent off my scan card for Bradford and said Leeds will also request an appointment so I can just take whichever comes first.

@notquiteagnt glad you were able to get a scan I hope it goes ok

@notquiteagandt thanks, that’s not bad actually - I used that one last time as a reason not to have cocktails (with someone else!)

@notquiteagandt hope your scan goes ok today

Congrats @twiglet. Lovely photo.

Sorry @Notquiteagandt to hear your news. Hope you scan goes ok later x

Yeah @IndiX I feel much worse from about 5pm onwards.

Lovely scan photo @twiglet

Does anyone have severe symptoms one day and then they pretty much are gone the next day?

(Other than tiredness!!)

I'm 8 weeks today and felt so rubbish yesterday nausea all day and headache all day, my sore boobs feel less painful anyway recently. Although still a little sore. I had a nap yesterday as so rubbish and today, fine!

Hello all,

I hope you don't mind me joining. I'm 9 weeks with my first baby, due 14th Feb. It's so reassuring to hear other people feeling rubbish as well! I thought I was being a bit pathetic because I'm feeling sick all the time, actually throwing up about 3 times a day and constantly falling asleep on the sofa by 8pm. I'm glad it's not just me! Luckily my DH is being very understanding. I'm looking forward to this bit being over so I can eat properly again though. I feel like I'm living off biscuits and crisps!

Is this the longest 12 weeks of anyone else's life? I swear time is going backwards. It did not seem this long with my last 2 pregnancies!

And this heat is infuriating me

@craftymum01 yes time is definitely going backwards I went back 2 weeks this morning lol
I think the next 2 weeks will crawl by!

Ugh today is crawling. My scan is later this afternoon and I wish it was over already. So nervous, I feel so sick, and can't bear the thought of having a full bladder!! (haven't even tried to drink any liquid yet and already feel like I need to pee!)

Feel like I was a bit ranty earliee - will blame hormones! Feel a bit better about things now and not so much like it’s the end of the world. Was just a bit disappointed as I was sort of looking forward to first MW appointment as I am 10 week’s now and feels like it has been a long time coming! Hopefully I’ll get an appointment soon

@Baby160P
Yeah that's how I feel
Hun one day can feel sick and the next totally normal
And question if I'm
Actually pregnant lol

Today all I have is complete exhaustion and a bit of
Nausea

@Alicejj8x I know the feeling, I can't win!

Moan when I feel rubbish and then when I feel ok and I worry. 🙈

@Baby160P yes! I was 8 weeks yesterday and felt horrendous.
Today I feel mildly nauseous but much better!
Boobs feel massive though!

@Baby160P
Oh I know exactly what you mean when I don't feel
Rubbish I'm like why don't I lol not that I've suffered massively anyway but still lol
