Jan 2020 - Thread 3

[mynameisMrG]

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

Gaviscon is ok to take in pregnancy I found out yesterday.

I'm eating terribly too! Although I have had an apple and some strawberries today... I've just text DH to pick me up a nachos kit, really want some!

@mynameisMrG great choice 😬

I’m having an egg mayo baguette for my dinner😂 I’ve never had one before but after reading the thread it’s the only thing I could possibly eat and I marched the streets until I found one! Cheers ladies

So pleased I have introduced more people to the wonders that is the egg mayo baguette. I’m going to hit the town to find one after my appointment tomorrow

I ended up picking up an egg and cress sarnie, then the egg mayo sandwich filler, followed by a baguette and a loaf of bread. I had to use self service because I felt the egg shame

Good luck at your appointment tomorrow!

To all the ladies that responded this morning when I was having a melt down, my symptoms are back with a vengeance 😬 laid up in bed already hope everyone is feeling ok x

Sorry (and a bit not sorry) to hear that @splishandsplash

@KatiePix the travel bands have done bugger all for me this eve! I've in fact been sick again with them on 🙈 how long did you have them on before they kicked in? And did they leave an imprint on your arm!?

Wow it's taken so long to catch up with this thread before posting.

Congrats to all on this thread, and it's so lovely seeing scans when everyone has them!

I'm joining the jan 2020 crew. Midwife estimates I'm 8+4

EDD: 12th jan (though I'm still dubious about that but symptoms aren't far off week by week)
Awaiting my scan date as I've got a midwife in one district and chosen a hospital between myself and where partner lives as hoping I'll have sold by then and we will have a place together.

Cravings and food aversions have been mental these past 2 weeks... I'm finding I love something for a week then I go completely off it and want to chuck at the thought and I'm onto something else! Cheese and marmite on crumpets or ryvita were a big thing, now can't touch it... steak as well and now I'm on chicken... nightmare!

Nausea is awful... and I've got ginger everything, queasy lollipops, sickness wristbands and some days one works ok and some days nothing at all works. Not to mention one day sickness is morning and next it's night .
I've a prescription for gaviscon for my severe acid reflux too and my exhaustion is crazy... I sleep for hours on end, early to bed and naps when I'm home feeling bad. Last week I couldn't even go into work. This week I've done two days, had one holiday day (midwife booking in appointment) and one admin and tomorrow I'm in bits trying to work out how I'm gonna go out and do my job.
This is my first and I feel like I've lost my strength so much and this last week I've been a crying mess at times too which isn't normally me and I know is hormones.
Also the cold thing people have mentioned, I am so glad it's not just me as I have been getting freezing for weeks even in the heat lol.

Because of all you lovely ladies though, I feel like this all isn't abnormal and that I'm just struggling because it is difficult to feel sick and bloated and exhausted all the time x
My partner is amazing and has two young kids from his only marriage (now divorced) but he works away all week at the mo and has his kids most weekends so difficult to spend quality time at min. This place has been a saving grace for my sanity already so thank you all and I wish you all healthy and happy pregnancies and babies

@KMic re travel bands you need to have them on two fingers width from you wrist to help (that's where the pressure point is). Learnt from many years of travel sickness!

@mynameisMrG thanks for the info on pregnancy maths! Really nice to be in a forum with other ladies going through the same thing!

I'm tired from a 12 hour day at work and need my bed.

I did manage to catch up on the thread tho!

I love egg mayo and today DH made me an egg mayo sandwich for my lunch and DS1 accidentally picked it up instead of his cheese and ham and took it to school!
What do you think about that egg mayo crew?!

Gutted.

Because my egg mayo sandwich wasn't enough at lunch I also had a boiled egg with cayenne pepper spinkled over it after work, it was lovely.

Hey all! Just catching up.

I am trying to eat well even if I'm just managing a little fruit pot a day or having extra salad bits on my sandwiches etc so I'm getting some goodness but honestly my diet is a bag of shit. I had a dominos for tea after having a breakdown about food earlier.

I'm really craving OJ it seems to help with sickness as does having a nibble on a cracker or a sweet - why are flumps so good?! I'm obsessed with subway too!

I've gone off egg though like I can have mayo but only Heinz light the rest
Makes me heave and I can't have egg near my mouth. I love scrambled egg normally I had some a few weeks ago and honestly it's just the worst thing ever I cried. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I also and don't laugh but sex - the idea is great but the minute we try I'm throwing up 😂 my husband thinks it's hilarious thankfully and isn't taking offence Thinknirs all the moving!!

I’d consider putting him up for adoption @plipliop

After my stress earlier about lack of morning sickness, I woke up at 1am to vom 🤢 first time being properly sick. Hoping it bodes well for the scan, but wow it's not gentle.

His bags are packed @mynameisMrG

I'm so tired. Why am I awake

@plipliop snap. Exhausted but can't seem to sleep 😩

Hey guys, just checking in! Feeling a bit rough and thirsty all the time! But haven't been sick at all. Struggling with not telling anyone as my 3 year old is now telling people mummy has a baby in her tummy (didn't tell her exactly but she's heard us talk about it!)

Morning all! Still no morning sickness for me - 8 weeks today. I'm a little more susceptible to motion sickness than usual and having very strong food preferences / dislikes, but no actual nausea. On that subject though, egg mayo... a big no from me! Has always made me feel queasy even though I am an egg fanatic! I'm starting each day with a bowl of chocolatey breakfast cereal husband is not at all happy but I'm taking the line that the first sugar rush is what is preventing the nausea! Hope you all have a good day.

@mrscatmad31 my nearly 4 year old has told so many people! We told him at 8 weeks after an early scan and he's told his nursery class, my friend and the teacher (and class) of our pre-school baking class! I'm not bothered by it as we knew there was a high chance he'd tell when we told him early, just finding it funny how awful he is at secrets and loving how excited he is when he tells people. I'm 10 weeks now so not long til I can tell the few remaining people who don't know!

@Ceejay19 glad it's not just mine telling everyone! I'm only 7 weeks tomorrow so feel it's too early to tell anyone but last time most people knew straightaway anyway as the job I was doing meant I had to tell them as soon as I found out

Good luck with the scans today, I have mine too, fingers crossed for everyone.

Promised myself I'd eat better today loves... sat eating left over dominos for breakfast mentally swearing a salad and a fruit pot for lunch 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 ill go out with the best intentions and then I'll go to subway for a salad and leave with a foot long 😩!

How are we all?

My boobs are killing today but I don't feel sick I actually feel good, so obviously now I'm like 'is everything ok' - I'll be crying later when the nausea kicks back in.

I'm around 7 weeks and based on your stories 8-9 are going to be the worst so... pray for me!
