June 2019 Thread 4 - sliding towards 2nd trimester

[SassehMonsta]

Morning June bfp-ers, here is thread 4!

Ha - as if by magic the doctor called - apparently it's a UTI. So nothing serious. I feel silly for worrying now.

Could just be a bit of protein or something..
I'm sure they will call.. hope everything is ok.. I was fully expecting there to be a problem with mine weeks ago at my booking in but never heard anythin..

Oh good :) x

Morning all - I've been a bit quiet recently as we're in the middle of moving house. Finally got all our stuff to the new house so now the joys of unpacking and cleaning begin!

My nausea has really ramped up a gear this week (I'm 10+1) - it is constant and I am ravenous but as soon as I eat I'm sick. I'm losing the plot a little bit as I can't concentrate at work due to the nausea, go home and am faced with endless boxes and mess. Plus I'm exhausted!! I had to sneak out of work the other day and go for a nap in my car as I was falling asleep at my desk! Can't wait for this part to be over!

Lovely scans - making me excited for mine next Friday!

So sorry to those of you still piling or feeling nauseous..
I know I didn't have it that bad on that front, but I realised today HOW much better I'm feeling because yesterday I successfully managed my first shop-bought coffee in a month or more, (had another today and feel fine! Coffee is LYFE!!!) and this morning I put a bit of perfume on which I haven't done since I got pregnant. Am still knackered but that's a lot to do with DD's horrific sleep and do feel slightly more energised during the day even on 5-6 hours broken sleep. According to the private scan this week I'm now 12+1 and it seems to have been the turning point (thank goodness!).

Piling?? I mean puking!
Oh and forgot to say, on the subject of eating - I just.can't.stop.
Not even sure if I need to, I just want to! I think about food morning noon and night and have 2 breakfasts (one at home, one at work) at least 1 lunch (sometimes an extra sandwich later) and multiple snacks. At least the choices are getting marginally healthier but the volume of eating is pretty extreme...

Ate 4 packets of pickled onion monster munch last night - 4! Would never have done that pre pregnancy. It did help the nausea though and anything that helps the nausea I am all in favour for! Even for 5 minutes rest bite...

@Reastie - I am also having just the scan, no screening. I have thought about all the testing and I wouldn't do any of the further tests if I got high risk (CVS/amnio - we are offered harmony test where I am) and wouldn't go thru with a termination either. I think the result would just stress me out - give me something else to ruminate over as I get anxious about things.

Yeah, I couldn't relax when they were working; they were in every room doing a bit here and bit there rather than moving through the rooms one after the other. I didn't smell the paint so much (only skirting boards being done) - but it might have contributed nonetheless. Ive had a lie in this morning and have the flat to myself today so I can do not very much!

Interesting you had the same, intermittent nausea but worse when it started. Ugh. If it goes on over the weekend Im gonna ask for something to take for it, just to get through the awful evenings.

Someone talk me down.... I had some brown discharge when I wiped. Now rationally I know it’s ok, almost normal and not anything to worry about. And even if it is bad news there is nothing I can do about it except wait. But and and it’s friday afternoon. Oh fuck.

@curlypasta have you recently had sex? That can cause a bit of spotting sometimes

Brown is old blood.. last time I had this was after sex and think we just dislodged something

Curly can yu ring epu to see if they can squeeze in a quick scan? Agree with the sex comments, this happened to me last time the day after. Have you had 12 week scan yet?

@ksjourney 4 packets of monster munch sounds amazing!! My kind of diet!!

No, no sex at all but I have been stupidly active today. Got both kids and no one to look after them, and only epu is a good hour away. Just waiting (and worrying) and resting!

Curly it's most likely to be a bit of old implantation blood that's been dislodged by all your activity today. I totally get why you're panicking but that is the most logical explanation at this point. I say this from experience (and from panicking over a weekend and not being able to get a scan until the following Monday).

Ohmygod the tiredness today. It's a battle every day not to give in to an afternoon nap. Zzzzz

@fabuluce I did succumb to an afternoon nap, while eldest was at forest club. My 4 yo also had a nap! He only has this one as he goes to bed later than he should an eldest tends to wake him prematurely. It's our Friday treat!

Roll on Wednesday and scan. I should be 13+2

Yes I like that explanation. I haven’t had any since and I’m resting now (watching elf with the kids) it’s like the 2 week wait all over again- every time I go to the toilet shutting my eyes scared to see blood!

@curlypasta I do find pregnancy an interesting time. Pre pregnancy you knicker watch for signs of impending and ovulation.
2ww dreading anything in your knickers and your period not to start. All throughout pregnancy you want it to be nada then in the days leading up to birth desperately looking for a show and waters to break!

Oh yes Curly it's horrid. I swear with my first a spent the whole first tri checking when I wiped. Slightly less this time but still. It's such a mentalling time. Keeping 🤞🏻 for you that is exactly what it was.

@diamondbutterfly I'm so jealous! I had a semi snooze with my 3yo which just about got me through but am now girding my loins to take us into town to watch the lights being turned on, get the child safely on the rides and eat street food while trying to keep the him from getting lost in the dark and the masses or entertained in the buggy. Wish me luck.

Obsessively looking at the loo roll when you wipe...such a weird thing isn’t it. I remember after my son was born it hit me that I didn’t have to do it any more after a few bleeding scares throughout the pregnancy. I’m sure it’ll be nothing curly but it’s such a worry isn’t it.

Good luck fabuluce. I fed my kids McDonald’s for dinner and we skipped bath time to watch a Christmas film

Still plodding along over here, 10+7. Nausea is a killer as is all the foods I don't want to go near. Made the best leek and potato soup of my life the other night and it gave me such pleasure

I know I shouldn't have yet but I bought some gorgeous Christmas / announcement cards. They say "Only the best sisters get promoted to aunt" etc went a bit wild and ordered a lot, friends, sister, mums, grandmas. Scan booked on Tuesday 11th Dec so still got a while to go and June next year feels like light years away.

Let's keep on keeping on

How you getting on @curlypasta ? Been where you are; it’s awful and sends you spiralling.

One more little brown lump when I wiped earlier but nothing since. I feel like I can’t move or bend over or do Anything just in case... scans Thursday, it’s gonna be a long week :(
