Brand new thread ladies! We went through the last one so fast! Let’s hope this one brings us lots of lovely scan photos.

MynameisMrG EDD 7/1/20 DC #2

@LillyLeaf i had zero symptoms with DS besides being tired, never had morning sickness at all

@DaisyMay25 not eating enough and getting low blood sugar. It can also be nerves getting relaxed

@anitagreen how interesting that you had completely different cravings with both! Atm I just eat so much fruit, literally a punnet of strawberries a day!
I don't really have a preference, I'd be happy with either but I picture it being a girl for some reason!
The smell of chemicals? How strange!
MIL thinks it'll be a girl because of how bad my nausea has been. I do enjoy old wives tales though

@Victoriaaaaaaaa I thought it might be sugar levels, I took some glucose tablets straight after just in case.

@KMic my nausea is getting so much better, I'm 10 weeks tomorrow and it's getting easier to manage each day. I'm same with boobs, I've stopped prodding them to see if they are still tender. Best of luck with your scan tomorrow and I hope you've had a nice holiday!

@mynameisMrG good luck with your scan tomorrow too

@LillyLeaf -I'm kind of in the same situation coz DD was fine but I have a genetic conditions which I have 50/50 chance of passing on and if passed on the baby wouldn't survive full term and last time I was having a boy but I had to have a TFMR coz the baby was affected and this first trimester is more like my second pregnancy than the first where the baby was fine as I said I had no symptoms-with my first pregnancy! My second I was ill all the time and this pregnancy is more like that so I'm worried this baby too will be too ill to keep too! I have a scan on Tuesday! There are good things about having CVS at 11 weeks; I get an early scan before, I can find out the sex of the baby genetically (as they see the chromosomes they know if it's XX or XY) at 11 weeks and they also check for any other chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome and Edwards syndrome etc! Xx

Thanks @DaisyMay25

Mines 3.20 @mynameisMrG ... we land at 11.30ish and should take a couple of hours to get home from the airport so made it for later in the day... let us know how yours goes!! Fingers crossed for both of us! Xx

I’m now week 10 and have had nausea and very bad dizziness since week beginning of week 7.

Lost nearly half a stone despite eating so much bread, and really struggling to drink.
I can only really manage pure juice and flavoured milk which is worrying me because it’s full of sugar. I start wretching with water and most squash, so I’m just trying to tell myself that any fluid is better than no fluid

@DaisyMay25 I sort of believe in them a little bit lol and I'm happy with either but I would love another girl I'm not sure why as my DD is wild as they come but it would be a nice surprise! And yes chemicals it turned out I was low in iron but I loved the smell of Harpic black extra strong toilet cleaner x

Good luck @KMic x

Thanks @anitagreen xx

What do we think my chances of passing my test in the first trimester are - because the bus is actually making me ill! 🙄🤮🤢!

Someone's child has shit too, travel sickness/morningsickness/toddler shit is not a good combo. Add BO and humidity to the mix and I'm done - send help 😂

@raligator as long as you're getting some fluids it's better than nothing! You're doing your best. Hope your dizziness passes! Xoxox

Spoke too soon ... more spotting for me ... I'm not hopeful for tomorrow x

Sorry you’re spotting again @KMic 😕 I’m still bleeding too. I’m also not feeling positive about tomorrow but you never know! We may just have naughty little beans

I hope everything is ok @KMic

And for you @mynameisMrG xx

Thank you @MoominMantra

@mynameisMrG I'm convinced something isn't right ... absolutely gutted.

Thanks @MoominMantra ... nothing I can do but wait ... but I'm just not hopeful.... x

@lillyleaf and @mrsp4 - I'm 5.5 and also am lacking in symptoms besides general bloating. Have booked an early scan for two weeks time - I just can't wait to week 12 to check things are OK!

Its so hard isn’t it @KMic 😕 keeping everything crossed for you though x

@mynameisMrG & @KMic I'm sure everything will be perfect - naughty beans love to frighten mommas! Xox

@anitagreen I craved really strong smells with both my boys too!! Detol, specific fabric softeners and bubble baths!! I used rub neat radox original on the back of my hand so I could smell it all the time but they discontinued it while I was pregnant with ds2 so I am hoping I do t get that craving again! When we used to go to the supermarket DP used to do the shop while I hid down the cleaning aisle smelling all the glorious smells!!

So sorry that you two are still bleeding. Thinking positive thoughts and wishes for you both.

Thank you.

All I can think about right now is how I can’t stop burping!

@mynameisMrG your pregnancy is so relatable 😂😂
