Onto thread four already! Wow we like a chat!

EDD 7/01/20 with DS2

@Cannyhandleit I actually thought I would struggle so bad what with being a smoker for half my life, and I had give up for a month in January and then went back to it after a month 👎🏻 I never smoked more than 8 a day so docs wouldn't help, so I suppose in some ways the morning sickness has been a godsend as I'm now a month without a fag again due to this pregnancy and would never put flump at any risk x
Do miss a glass of Prosecco though and once breast feeding is finished I will enjoy that day 😂😂

@anitagreen woop, positive thoughts is great, you're doing amazing and are amazing, remember that hun!! 🙂💪🏻👍🏻 x

My partners gone to the isle of white overnight so I’m wrapped in a duvet waiting until it’s acceptable to order a pizza. Drunk food is literally the only thing I can stomach. Have already decided I’ll be having pepperoni despite being veggie for years 🤷🏼‍♀️
Obviously I’ll be getting BOGOF as I’m budgeting for a baby.
What’s the dirtiest food everyone has been having this pregnancy? I need food porn

@NoMoreFastCars82 And you too I'm also an ex smoker I gave up with my others and stupidly started again when my last baby was born regret it soo much what a waste of money x

@Ann334 I love baked beans mixed in the bowel with scrambled egg I love it

@anitagreen it’s like a breakfast bowl! Beans on toast has been a godsend when I couldn’t eat anything eles. Love beans

@Ann334 Thank You my partner calls it a tramps breakfast

@anitagreen this time you won't and I won't start again either, we will have will power 💪🏻😂

As for food porn, so far today I've eaten:

Chocolate cake
Golden syrup porridge pot
Banana
2 x cheese and ham toasties done under grill

And I'm now sat working out what I fancy later 😂😂😂 so so bad!!

My OH is now eating like a horse when he's away and had twice as much food as he normally would last night... I feel he is going to start talking about sympathy eating... and I am just going to tell him I shan't listen to excuses 😂 he's 6'4" and lanky so he could do with a few pounds lol x

@NoMoreFastCars82 that's my craving too! Chocolate cake and custard I love it it reminds me of school pudding and my partner eats every time I do says it's because he feels sorry for me lol. And yes I need loads of will power x

Mine has to be McDonald’s. I could eat it all day every day. Trying really hard to be good this week so I’m sat here with a bag of grapes. It’s not the same

@NoMoreFastCars82 I had a golden syrup porridge pot at 2am to stop myself from gagging in bed 😂 just the smell makes me feel better, no doubt that’ll change by tomorrow.
@mynameismrg I totally get that, the adverts are on telly constantly how could you ever stop?!
My partner is very eager to be supportive by ordering the takeaways bless him.
You ladies are so good getting some fruit in at least.
The only veg I’ve had in 3 weeks has been on pizza 🙄 I used to eat spinach out the bag like crisps, what have I become?

I've just had a private scan today because I've got work training over the date for my NHS one and all seems to be well :) One little baby with a heartbeat and it was waving arms and legs. Measuring at 10+6 ☺️☺️

The porridge is a new thing for me lol x

I've been having fruit boxes of melon and grapes, strawberries as well as my banana of a morning and a weetabix milkshake normally 😂

I've eaten veg where I can as I absolutely adore broccoli and gravy 🥰

Going to talk the OH into making toad in the hole with veg and mash tonight 🤤😂

@NoMoreFastCars82 still think the bus trumps it! Not nice though.

On a positive note my scan dates just come through! 27th June, I'll be 11+6. Is anyone else feeling nervous?

TGIs chocolate cake with ice cream has been a favourite craving of mine this pregnancy, it’s just so good!

NoMoreFastCars82 you can have a glass of Prosecco while breastfeeding! Don’t let that stop you and have a toast to your baby’s birth once he or she arrives

I feel gross today, like a bad hangover and I can’t shake the headache. DH has taken DD out to his parents’ house again to give me some time to myself and I feel so guilty for not spending time with her 😞 can’t wait to feel normal again.

@ann334, I like you're style! We're having pizza tonight, I love the asda make your own ones! Think I'm going with ham and mushrooms, with a stuffed crust and extra cheese 😋 Also really excited as dh went to town this morning and our favourite Chinese has re opened after being closed for months... So excited to go there again!!

Work related Essay warning!!

We're a small office, only 10 of us (including my Sil) and one of those working from home, so 9 in the office. Everyone knows about my MC earlier this year and we're lovely about it. I only told my SIL and my line manager I'm pregnant again , was waiting for 12 weeks to announce to the others... Almost made it as my scan is 1st July (😀)

Basically, 2 women just outright asked me, out of nowhere on Thursday!! I was totally caught off guard and have a really obvious face, so was a dead giveaway!! They then said they 'knew' I was, because I look so much bigger and had been discussing it for a while ?! I am size 8/10 usually and already have a bit of a tummy at 9ish weeks, but didn't think it was that obvious! So, cats out the bag now! I know it's not a massive deal, they were probably just excited or whatever, but was just really looking forward to telling everyone on my terms. I suspected some of them had an inkling, but assumed because of the MC they would just wait for me to say something?? Which tbf, most of them did, it was just these 2. It's all OK really, just thought it was a bit weird!!

@nomorefastcars82 Broccoli and gravy is normally my absolute fave, it’s the first thing I’m going to have when I’m ready to eat normal food again 😋
My partner is vegan (although he’s had the odd slip in his willingness to support me) so I look at the fridge in disgust about 40 times a day. Thank god for deliveroo

I wish I hadn't come back on here this afternoon, I'm currently pinned to the couch in between 2 napping boys and all I want now is cake and custard 😩

@Fivebyfive2 similar thing today though not I person...

Had an old mate i haven't spoken to in about a year pop up in messenger earlier. He asked how I was and said it had been a long time and I said yes a lot has changed. He said I was being cryptic and I said all will be revealed soon enough and I got back 'OMG YOU'RE PREGNANT!!' I was like errrr how????????

@MonicaGellerHyphenBing oh god, don't say that 😂😂 one wouldn't be enough after that long 😂😂 but thanks for the heads up!

Ok, so we are all craving chocolate cake and custard 😂😂

But how many of you have completely gone off something you used to love eating and can't stand the sight of it? As I can't eat McDonald's or dominos 👎🏻 major annoyance lol x

@Fivebyfive2 I’ve just had a similar thing happen at my work and it’s really disappointing isn’t it? I’m still 4 weeks from my scan so I’ve said I’m not ready to talk about it yet, but in their defence they don’t know about my previous loss. In your case I would have thought they would have waited for you considering they know your history? People just get over excited and don’t realise it puts this secret pressure on. At least you can talk openly about any aches or moans now!

@NoMoreFastCars82 I usually love toasted onion bagels, I cannot even smell them just now without heaving! Even thinking about them now makes me feel queezy!

@Cannyhandleit it's such a nightmare hey!

Oh I forgot salmon, I loved it so much before I got pregnant and now I struggle to eat fish 😷 I had some scampi last night and wasn't so bad but the chips and cheese I ate the whole of 😂😂😂 x

Milk I had a problem with for a few weeks but now I'm good with so that was strange... and coffee is a completely no no, even decaf 😷 sometimes I can stomach tea but water and my guanabana juice are my saviours 😂

@Bentley111 mine is the 25th and I'm nervous. I know on the day and probably the night before I'll just be anxious!

I love cake and custard usually but hot things just aren't appealing right now. I do love fruit and veg more than anything at the minute though.

Congratulations @MoominMantra 😊

I’ve got another week and a half until my next scan and it feels like a lifetime away. Especially with my drop in symptoms. Who knew time could drag sooooo slowly!

I've been craving loads of unhealthy stuff.. McDonalds, pizza, sausage rolls (the m&s ones are delish), cheese twists and croissants. Cheese toasties... anything with cheese! Although, since my nausea is pretty much gone now, I'm not feeling the need for as many unhealthy carbs in the morning anymore, and I and even craved an orange the other day. I've been mainly adding unhealthy stuff to my relatively healthy meals. I got weighed at my booking appointment the other day and I was surprised I hadn't put on a crazy amount of weight!
