[Keyboard91]

New thread ladies :)

Has to be the most active thread on MN!

Feel free to state how far you are/EDD in your first post here so we have a reminder of who is where :)

Happy 2nd trimester to everyone now I think!

I’m 13+6 and due March 26th ❤️

@ineedanotherholiday eeek thanks! March is potentially going to be a busy month as it's my birthday on 13th and wedding anniversary on 18th!

Aw lovely @MiaMoo007 I also have my husbands, nephews and father in laws on March.

@MockingJay27 well that's good. I'm slightly gutted that it means waiting longer to feel kicks though!

@DaniX91 Yes me too ! It'll be well worth the wait though :)

Is anyone getting headaches? Is it hormonal?

I've had a on/off headache nearly every day for 5 days. I had two days where I had migraines so bad I had to goto bed early one night and in the middle of the afternoon for a few hours.

Im worried its something bad, I have never even had a migraine (apart from a visual one and it was no pain) before being pregnant.

@misspepper8 I havent had one for a few days now but I had been getting them every other day. And they lasted all day. Sometimes I'd wake up with them the next day too it's getting less though.
Hormonal changes most likely to blame. I think I get them when iv had a little less sleep than usual

Ohh thank you for letting me know, I'm glad they've gone away for you now xx I'm actually struggling to sleep and settle, I still find myself awake at 2am and toddler gets up at 7/8am.

I'll try not to worry so much now, I've just never had them this painful before, feels like my eyes are hurting too x

@misspepper8 mine have all been in the back of my head going down my neck. Iv been sleeping so well for a week now. It just needs to keep up til the weekend for my weekend away

@Yvonne1988 sorry forgot to @ you before.

They are horrible, I've never had anything like it. It's so painful, it's pain like in my eye sockets and sort of been on my left side top and front part of my head. Ive just had to go to bed.

Ah I hope you do, nothing worse than feeling crap on a holiday :(

Welcome new ladies :) is anyone else struggling to bend? I'm only 15 plus 2 but my belly has suddenly gone huge and I'm struggling to bend down already :(

@Jesskir89 not struggling to bend but really struggling with bloating which is also a little sore in my lower abdomen/uterus area. I'm not constipated. It's worse in the evenings

@miamoo007 a lot of mine is definitely bloat because I look 6 month pregnant lol

Hey!
I’m 15 weeks and due 23rd of March with my 3rd 🙈
Wasn’t planned and I still struggling to come to terms with it! I had only just got my mental health under control and feel like I’ve gone backwards 😭
Anyone else going through the same or advice!
Xx

@emren2212 welcome :) I'm affraid I can't offer any advice as this is my long time waited for first and had been planned for over 2.5 years although I'm still very emotional atm must be the hormones!

Hey everyone, I'm 17 weeks now and I know this is a silly question but is it normal to feel, well, normal? I had all different symptoms through the first trimester, mainly feeling sick every day but I've felt loads better the last few weeks and i can sometimes almost forget I'm pregnant (not literally cos I'm dead excited about it but hope you know what I mean) my appetite is even back to normal and I've started to like all the food I went off of in the first few weeks. Just wondered if anyone was feeling the same?

@Jesskir89 aww bless you that is a long time! Congratulations 🎉 god dam hormones!! Men have no idea! Xx

Hi, I’m due the 7th March. First baby and heard the heart beat last week for the first time. I’m not feeling pregnant anymore all the symptoms have disappeared. I get a little pulse sensation but not sure if it’s kicks or gas. With me being a little taller and bigger most people can’t believe it when I say I’m pregnant :( I hope I get a bump soon, this is all new and scary

@Emren2212
Can you talk to your midwife and health care professionals to discuss your MH concerns. Once they are all in the picture they can offer you the best support that you need.

Hopefully this thread will help you too.

I'm having my third and it was planned. I was all excited and calm about everything and then the last few weeks I feel very low...not specifically about they new baby but I just can't shake the low mood. I'm going to talk to my midwife tomorrow. Maybe it's hormones?

@Emren2212 i struggled a bit at the start. Me and my boyfriend always said no more. Iv only got the 1 he has 2. I don't know why but I just changed all of a sudden and got upset about it. He still said no. Then said give it 6 months. I got pregnant 2 weeks after stopping my pill. He said he would never tell me to get rid but that I know how he feels. I'm 15 weeks now and still wondering if I'm doing the right thing. I don't want to ruin anything.
So as much as it was planned it wasn't supposed to happen so fast! Really didn't expect that and it shocked us all. When he told his friends and family half of them didn't believe him and asked if he was taking the piss because he was always so adamant about it. It got to me a bit.
I'm in a much happier place than I was with my first. 9 years later. Everything is better. So I am trying to enjoy it as much as I can

@emren2212 I would defo speak to your midwife if you're struggling they can refer you :) is there anything particular setting it off again? @emilyG7 thank you and same to you, it was a long time lol. @thankful16 yes apart from a big bloated belly I know what you mean! We should try and enjoy it lol

Just as I was writing that long post I was on the toilet and a load of bright red blood just came out. I could feel it dripping. Just waiting for someone to come pick me up and take me to the hospital

@Yvonne1988
My Oh did want another and I didn't (Mainly because I know how much I struggled in my last previous pregnancy 5 years ago, it took a year to fall with her so after just "one time" back in June we didn't think I'd fall!! I'm still questioning if it's the right thing to do as OH works a lot, I have 3 part time jobs and 2 kids at primary school, it's hard to keep up with everything along with other family dramas/ life situations! Not having many friends because I'm not overly sociable doesn't help!
@avocadoincident I have mid wife next week and will let her know what's been going on, I'm hoping once I actually feel the baby my feelings will change, I have a big bump but just feel like it's fat!
Xx

@Jesskir89 emren2212 is me! I done the wrong username 😂🤦🏽‍♀️
@Yvonne1988 oh jez I hope everything is ok and try not to stress xx

@Jesskir89 Yes, you're right. Should just enjoy feeling like this just now. Yeah I'm the same, I am a bit bloated and I do have a wee tiny bump but still not obvious. I think it's just a strange time because the initial symptoms have gone and it's still a bit early to feel any movements so just doesn't feel like I'm pregnant but I'll just relax and enjoy it just now.

@Yvonne1988 try not to panic. Are you at hospital now?
