@fortheloveofdoughnuts @dartmoordoughnut best wishes for both of you, I hope all will be well. Keeping everything crossed for you x x

@stargazydrifter Wow white musk that's a blast from the past!

@Laburna - great tips thank you! I'll try that tonight.

@delilah7 I've got mine on Christmas eve too. It will be my first one so a bit nervous..

Just finished at 12 hour day on my feet. Exhausted - and really struggling with my jeans. I've used the hairband all day which has helped a bit...

@DartmoorDoughnut and @fortheloveofdoughnuts I hope you get some answers soon. I'm crossing my fingers that everything is ok.

Fingers crossed for both Doughnuts today. Hopefully we have no more bad news on the thread. 

I am desperate to feel normal. I'm so nauseous all the time and I've had a headache that paracetamol just won't shift.

Has anyone found they've had an aversion to meat recently? I'm 7 weeks today and this weekend I've barely been able to look at the stuff!

@ wombatron I’m glad you mentioned the meat... I thought I was just going crazy but I’m really struggling with meat lately and I used to love it.

Hoping all is ok for both of you doughnuts @DartmoorDoughnut @ForTheLoveOfDoughnuts . Sending positive vibes your way. The waiting and worrying is horrible.
I'm feeling ok. No sickness just tiredness, acne and sore boobs. I'm so lucky in that I don't seem to suffer much in pregnancy. Birth is a different matter 😂

Was also off meat for the first few weeks but, in last week, red meat and chicken are all I want. And rice pudding! I might put away those scales for a bit...

Ugh my GP surgery is rubbish. Last time the midwife told me I should have self referred and not bothered the GP, so this time I tried to self refer and they won't let me! Waste of NHS resources, last time the GP just looked down her nose at me and asked if the pregnancy was planned (for the record yes and much longed for). Hoping tomorrow's GP will be better.

Am also putting the scales away. Yet another night with a 3am biscuit feed. I am PRAYING this passes by Christmas as I have 9 people coming!!

@wombatron yes I was on the 3am munch the other night OH fed me jammy dodgers to shut me up lol

I feel so rough today. Really light headed, upset stomach, really nauseous. My back is killing me. I feel very very sorry for myself 🙁

Oh my gosh ladies. You know I'd have awful hyperemisis or so they thought. Well I've stopped my tablets for two days and I HAVENT BEEN SICK. At All!! I have been nauseous yes but not sick. I'm so happy 😭😂

Ugh I'm also feeling crappy today. My wee one was up from midnight til about 3 then OH came home from work about 6 and woke us again . I am so blood exhausted. Totally drained today

I feel so hung over today (without the benefit of booze obviously) I've devoured more of my advent calendar and am so thirsty.

My boobs are agony too.

7+4 today. Counting the days to my early scan on Monday evening!! I just don't feel I can get excited until I see it.

Sorry for such a rough start to the day, @wombatron. Hope it eases soon :( x

Scan tomorrow at 9am, will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the good thoughts

Turns out 10am is more reasonable and I feel better - shame I can't stroll into work at that time. Am off sick today, just can't cope with it first thing. I may need to tell someone so as to avoid ill feeling towards me. 

Good luck to those with scans today!

I spoke to soon. I puked lol

I’m so behind, work is mental 😭

Thinking of the Doughnuts and sending positive vibes.

Also, has anyone had flu jab? Midwife told me to but haven’t got round to it, is it essential??

Oh no @Delilah7 ! Why did you stop the tablets?
I'm on reduced hours at work due to a slipped disc (injured it 6 weeks ago) so I'm not going in today. I'm exhausted. I tend to find I have one good day, one bad day, and so on and so forth. Felt great yesterday. Even my back felt better. Am stiff sore tired and spotty today. But thankfully no sickness so that's something to be grateful for.
I don't know whether to call myself 7w2d (As that's what lmp puts me at) or 6w5d (as that's what I believe I am) I guess go with lmp date until dating scan at 12 weeks? I can't stop thinking about little peanut measuring a few days behind.

@wombatron - yes, totally off meat here too! All I had for dinner last night was broccoli and cauliflower, DH had to eat the meatballs he’d cooked for me (which he was more than happy about).

7 + 2 today and surprisingly symptoms still at bay. I’m constantly hungry though, eat non stop all morning which I think keeps the sickness at bay. I just keep eating for fear of feeling sick otherwise.

What is everyone eating to keep protein up? struggling to think of a good protein source that isn’t meat based that I could snack on.

@twistering I’ve got my flu jab booked for tomorrow. I’ll ask how essential it is and let you know what they say

Thanks @reeny19!
