June 2019 - thread 3

[pollykins151]

Just starting a new one folks. Thread 2 was nearing its max 😊😊

JBCG that is awesome news!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one eating crap at the moment. I used to eat very healthy, we're cooking fresh food every night with lots of veg (feeling sorry for all the effort my husband puts in just to eat it on his own because I can't face it atm) but for the last few weeks all I can eat is cereal, cake, toast and biscuits...
hoping the nausea won't be there for too much longer as I'm really struggling at work

16th June! Not July

8+1 today and booking in half done! Because of my extensive history I’m going back next week to finish it! But got my exemption form, got my prescription for extra folic acid coz I’m obese, got my scan and screenings booking sent off.
All sorted and so nice. Sad I won’t see same midwife twice but that’s the way they do it. At least notes are electronic so I won’t have to explain 100 times!

I’m eating all day too!
So far I’ve had 2 slice of toast with butter, graze flapjack for a snack, lunch at work was porridge pot, banana and apple and just got home from work feeling so sick and hungry and had 2 more slices of toast and butter! Fish pie for dinner so will attempt to add some veg. I don’t want it though, I want fish and chips !

Thanks Sass, sadly this is just the start of the busy period for me. Manic until Christmas and then relax for a couple of weeks, then super busy again until April. Trying not to out myself, but I work in the ski industry 😬

My diet is also atrocious, I’m living on cereal and beige food. I feel absolutely horrific 😭

Lovely news JBCG! x

JBCG that's amazing news, so happy to read it!!

I think I've eaten more than anyone 😂 3pm and so far today I've had:

• toast with cashew butter and smoothie
• cereal
• tin of spaghetti
• 2 chocolate covered Oreos
• sweet potato burger with cheese in bun
• banana milkshake
• 3 slices of garlic bread with cheese

And I'm hungry 😂😂😂

I'm constantly eating - have had
Porridge with banana, raspberries and blueberries, some toasted pumpkin seeds, half a bovril sandwich, a bowl of Thai spiced carrot and sweet potato soup, an apple with peanut butter....still hungry and nauseous. Need more food! Chips coming for dinner though 😊

Thank you all so much! I still can't quite believe it but thinking positive thoughts! xx

Congrats @JBCG Great news!

I love seeing what people are eating, although it’s making me crave more food. :)

Today I have eaten: two crumpets (w/golden syrup and butter), mini cheddars, a cheese and onion pasty and two doughnuts. That sounds awful looking back! I really do not fancy healthy food at the moment but I’ve got a sausage casserole in the slow cooker for tonight which I’m looking forward to and that’s got some veg thankfully!

I’m not sure if I’ve asked this before but are you ladies planning on going on an NCT course? I’ve registered for my closest one but not going to pay until after the 12 week scan!

@stellarfox haha it's reassuring to see others are eating everything too 😂
I registered for info on nct courses but was shocked at the price - I wasn't expecting several hundred £! They only run the signature courses in my area - I enquired about the essential ones but they're not an option 😣

Gaaaaaa these food lists are making me drool! I just want crumpets and toast and cashew butter and sausage casserole and - well, basically I want to eat the world!! It's hilarious because when I found out I was pregnant I was absolutely determined not to put on as much weight as I did in my first pregnancy (20 kilos 😳) but if I carry on like I am now it's going to happen!! The only plus is that I started off this pregnancy lighter than before by about 7kg so as it stands I'm still lighter than when I got pregnant with DD. Also on the plus side DP was frankly a bit of a shit not very understanding about weight gain last time but this time he's being really cute and telling me it's all just milk for the baby and making me feel better about it - even if my fitness app tells me I've gained above the recommended amount for the first trimester!

@JBCG that is fantastic news, I'm made up for you.

Booking in appointment went as well as I suppose it could. An hour of forms and histories but feeling a bit happier that this time I'll be consultant led. Really pissed off and embarrassed I need a higher dose of folic acid due to my BMI being too high. I kept meaning to lose weight but liked food more... I am 10kg heavier than I was when I fell pregnant with my son 3 years ago.

Now that that's all been fine, we've booked in for a private early scan next Sunday. Seems forever away!

I'm 9 weeks today and have felt absolutely horrific for the last week. I'm talking the worst I've felt in my life. Think I'll be signed off next week too.

My days consist of cereal soup and jam toast. With nibbling on dry cereal throughout the day.
Managed 2 slices of pizza for lunch and felt great. Craved cold melon randomly so sent OH to the supermarket. He returned with a handful of goodies for me- lucazade zero is my life saver at the moment. Seems to stay down.
Focusing on my 12 week scan 3 weeks today to get me through. Xoxo

If anyone else was wondering I send DH out to buy me fish and chips! In other news my tired , grumpy sickness is making ds (almost 4) behaviour hard to deal with. Things need to change before baby gets here. He screams whenever he doesn’t get his way and won’t go to sleep or stay asleep. I don’t know what to do with him, nothing works

Quick question - we had successful scan today at 8+5 and strong heartbeat 💗

12 week scan is 7th December. Would most of you just wait or is it worth getting a private scan in between do you think? Sonographer at epu today said to wait for 12 week one as they don't know effect of ultrasounds etc, but I had loads of nhs scans for various reasons with DS and he was fine!

@toasterstrudle we had a successful scan at 7 weeks (via fertility clinic) and have managed to hold off having a private scan - our nhs one is next Thursday at 12+1. I was tempted to book something in between but I'd prefer to use the money to get a gender scan before Christmas, and a scan would only give us reassurance for a day or so anyway!

@Torsz that's brilliant your 12 week one is so close! Thank you - good point about saving it for later :)

@stellarfox I did nct with my first, was great fun and still very close friends with my group and they are all 8 and half now!

@Napssavelives that is so tough!! My DD is 2.5 and absolutely impossible at the moment - she was pretty easy going until a few weeks ago but now it's REAL toddler time 😩 She is also not sleeping well at night, refusing to go in her bed, absolutely refusing DP and constantly demanding me instead - is exhausting. I just keep thinking the same, something has to change and I have no idea how to make it happen 😢

Just catching up. Had a terrible week of nausea and exhaustion. Went back to work after half term and it was like being hit with a sledgehammer. I had to tell my head (had my performance management review) and I cried, then told our other head, and cried. I’m just so exhausted and sick that I am really not enjoying the pregnancy and regretting it which is silly as this was a very planned and thought out baby. Then I feel all of the guilt. But she said that she’d known I was pregnant as I was so happy before half term so she knew something was up which made me feel happy and reminded me how happy I was when I got my BFP. Anyway they have been lovely and so has Dh. I told my assistants so they have cut me a lot of slack and stepped up when I needed to slow down.
I am constantly hungers and nauseous and constantly nibbling, mainly toast, crisps and chips which is no help for the waistline!

This too shall pass eh?

Finally feel vaguely confident enough to add myself into this - hope that's okay! It's #1 for me with EDD of 28th June 😊

@Torsz yes it’s £230 but I thought it’s 20 hours so not so bad when you think of it spread out. Also we don’t know many people with babies here so the main reason for doing it is to make some friends! Glad to hear you made some good friends @curlypasta!
