July 2019 - early days part 2

[DianaBlythe]

Just because I think we’re getting close to filling the first one. Pull up a pew, bring your decaf tea and all of the carbs!

I'm 32 as well and still will be! A popular age for us :).

Morning sickness has struck. Not pleasant. Haven't actually been sick yet but it's still horrid.

@TwittleBee re the question you asked a little while back (took some time to catch up). I know in times of famine there are marginally more girls born (by a percent or two) but I don't know if that's connected to the sugar thing! How intriguing!

Thank you all again for the messages regarding the scan!

I feel so young in this group at 24 and on my 2nd haha

xine15 Sorry morning sickness has striked! Yeah I was just making the connection about how more girls are born during a famine, more girls are born to those who crave sugar/sweets (and those who have a lower bmi are meant to be more likely to crave these) and so wondered if that meant those with lower bmi are more likely to have girls. And yeah I appreciate it would only be marginally!

Saw my friend from my antenatal group from DS' pregnancy. So lovely as she is expecting her 2nd again at same time as me so we will have 2 kids each at ages with a 2 year gap.

Don't understand why it's called "morning sickness" spent last half hour spewing 🤢🤢🤢

I feel you @Onestep2 I threw up in my office bin this afternoon 🤦🏼‍♀️

Could I just ask is anyone feeling achy in certain areas? I'm not having shoulder pain but my shoulders do ache. tends to be where my bra straps are. Not sure if it's because boobs are heavier so I'm feeling the weight of them more. Before they move to my back. Does this all sound normal?

Sorry you guys are experiencing such bad morning sickness. Apart from feeling nausea before and after eating and the sore boobs and achy body not experienced much else so far.

@FocusBear I think someone else mentioned shoulder pain, which I forgot to reply to. Yes, I have had quite bad pain in my left shoulder. I think it’s just because of relaxin. Thankfully mine has improved quite a bit now. xxx

Shoulder pain can be a symptom of ectopic I think, but yours doesn’t sound the right kind of pain for that. x

If I get through this scan on Friday I will join properly and I maybe I will consider telling you all how old I am 🙈😁

With you @Onestep2 - buttering bread for DHs sandwiches tomorrow has just made me heave.... 🤢

Evening all I am 26,

Good luck with telling of you OH we did the test together weeks ago at 2.30am in the morning after not being able to sleep and aiming to test in the morning, it was like Xmas !!

Another ancient one here, 38 in Feb and still trying for first! If the world was fair, should have been 34, but hey ho! I positively encourage any whipper snappers I know to crack on with it!

I can't keep up on here! Hope everyone is doing okay. My symptoms are a bit up and down but my major thing is that I'm constantly hungry and feel so light headed if I don't eat regularly. I don't normally take snacks to work as I can usually power through with maybe the odd biscuit mid-morninb and afternoon but I'm having a second breakfast around 10.30, then by 1pm I'm ravenous and light headed again. The other night I had to grab a snack on the way home because I thought I was going to pass out. The problem is I just want crap - salty is best but a sugar rush also seems to solve temporarily. Anyone got any good healthy snack ideas for on the go?!

Sorry to hear about everyone's symptoms 😞 to take our minds off them and I know it's way to early, but have people thought of names? I've got a list on the go 😝

@Jxtina86 I'm hungry like as soon as I wake up. Like starving 😂😂😂 that normal??

Feck, I think I must be the oldest, 44 just now & assuming this goes the whole distance I’ll be 45.... & it’s my first....

Oh don't go there with bread and butter ratherbeshowjumping haha. Just seeing sandwiches in shops is enough to make me heave.

Totally normal Delilah7 and I think that's where the term morning sickness must come from? It's common for women who don't get to eat straight away to feel particularly nauseous!

Certainly feeling proper bloated right now as I lay in my luke warm bath.

My symptoms also up and down, the nausea is quite mild for me thank god. I can't cope with being sick. I just grab something to eat as soon as I start feeling crap and it goes away. My back is killing me though and can't take proper pain killers! I have back troubles anyway and am really worried that pregnancy is going to leave me bed ridden in later stages. Think I'll have to see the doc about it but I suspect there's nothing they can do. Deathly tired 😴

@TwittleBee honestly I don't starve myself before bed but it's ridiculous 😂 I just had my bath and my belly is now out of the water so I'm bloated. However I feel 10 as I have my hair in pigtails hehehehe

Loved the comment from whoever it was about being nervous telling parents as if you're a naughty teenager having to admit to having sex. Lol
That's exactly how I felt even though I'm married and 34 years old. Ridiculous

@Delilah7 I have the exact same thing! I don't feel nauseous though but I'm only 6weeks tomorrow so I don't want to speak too soon...! I'm starting to notice smells though- woman next to me on the train was eating something that looked and smelt horrific and it took all my strength not to heave!

@Jxtina86 Ive had abit of nausea the last week but not major! Hot flushes yes if that's a thing 😂 backs starting too x

@Jxtina86 I'm loving plain popcorn atm, £2 for a 500g bag which makes absolute tonnes of it. A wee sprinkle of salt or sugar over it depending on your tastes. Nice and crunchy and really low calories

Delilah7 I am the same in the mornings too btw! If I don't eat half a horse as soon as I wake then I'll be sick lol

@TwittleBee I haven't left it long enough to find out if that's what will happen 😂😂
