Found you over here!

I am 7 weeks tomorrow and clothes also too tight!

Finally day of my reassurance scan tomorrow. Got all the symptoms now - sickness, tiredness, general narkiness and sending hubbie up shop for weird food items. So hopefully all will be well!

Will let you know x

Morning all,

I feel like crap today. I have all week actually. I guess i am feeling really lonely as i have no one to talk to other than dd who just mumbles strange things.

I wanted to go swimming today as it makes me feel alot better but no one is available to have dd so i guess i'm stuck here all day again

The nausea keeps raising it's ugly head and i keep getting to a point where i am really starving. Wierd.

I hope everyone is ok?

happyathome · 11/06/2008 10:17

sorry you're feeling crap MsSparkle.
know what you mean about lonely.
anyway,i have to get on with things now,so sorry i won't be here.Might come on-line later today.
Hope the others come along soon for you.
keep smiling

Teuch · 11/06/2008 10:36

Ms Sparkle - sorry you're down. Can't you take DD swimming? I know it won't be the same exercise but surely you would both enjoy getting out?

I nkow that sometimes with a toddler, and with pg tiredness/nausea it is hard to get motivated to do something a bit different everyday, but it is what saves my sanity .

MsSparkle · 11/06/2008 11:19

I just need a break from my dd then i can come back refreshed and motivated again.

I know there's lots of things i can do with my dd but i just want someone to come along that i can talk to.

fourlittlefeet · 11/06/2008 12:58

Happy, sorry you've been feeling crap. with the nausea stopping me from eating, hormones and midnight wees stopping me from sleeping, early rising as DC1 waking up at 5 and demanding breastfeeding, my boss on my back, and the knowledge that I'm going to have to go back to work 4 days a week in september to support this little bean, I too am going through the what have I done stage. except that ours was a little surprise as we weren't trying for dc2....I really know how you feel.

however, I also remember going through a holy sh*t phase with my first pregnancy; think it is normal that the body prepares the the brain in the last part of this trimester for all being well/not well, and starts to prepare us for the times ahead.

Primrose, you also had me in tears.

MsSparkle, are there no mum friends that could take dd for an hour or two? or a creche? I think it is so important to get some space at the moment to sort ourselves out. especially as this is the hardest and most stressful part other than birth and we have no support as in this country one doesn't tell.

luckily.... we have mumsnet and each other...deep breaths and repeat the mumsnet mantra after me;
IT WILL PASS!

by the way, have also found pain au chocolat fantastic for relieving morning sickness (and afternoon and evening sickness too)

{{big hugs to all}} just read some of the other early antinatal threads; its hilarious as history repeats itself month after month, year after year...its all been said before and is very reassuring. like this

Some news - I have my booking in appt with the midwife on the 26th June and my scan with nuchal fold test on the 3rd July. Nice to have those dates in my diary. Only a few more weeks left to wait.

HappyatHome - yes our dates are pretty close - everything going very normally with the pg - thank goodness. Feel a bit off colour and v tired but otherwise fine, although all my problems started after the first three months last time, so I'm not counting my chickens yet...

MsSparkle this is why mumsnet exists - gives us all a chance to chat and moan and make each other cry (sorry about that Happyathome!). However sometimes its good to switch the computer off and just go shopping/park/whatever. If you go to the local playground, I bet good money that there's another mum already there who's happy to chat...

happyathome · 11/06/2008 13:27

oh my god fourlittlefeet...here's me moaning,and you are there with much worse problems than me just now.
show your boss the way to 'hormonal Happy' too..i'll sort em out.
Glad you've got dates MRSAAY.must feel like progress.Good luck.
Going for a nap now before i pick DD up.
Only way to escape the boredom,have'nt enough energy for housework.

good mantra...it will pass...it will pass.
talk to ya soon x

happyathome · 11/06/2008 13:29

fourlittle feet-your ESSAY made me feel better,as well as got it off your chest

happyathome · 11/06/2008 13:33

MSSPARKLE-why don't you look at photo albums with DD or old home video/dvd? if you have any.That's what i was going to do if my nap fails(noisy street today)...takes you far away back to good times...and requires no energy.Best thing for me just now is snuggling up with DD.

fourlittlefeet · 11/06/2008 14:05

congratulations mrsaay. am a bit as didn't mean to imply I had it worse, just that I understood how quickly life can go from normal to completely overwhelming. and if we're not coping now... how will it be with an extra one?!

Fact is we should all just ask LG&T, since she has her hubbie at sea, is home with 6 dc at is pregger with #7 and delighted about it! and has time to m'net, buy (and eat!) vast crates of krispy kremes and still look beautiful. whats the secret there then . come on lG&T. spill.

Hi all

Had an early scan today - saw the heartbeat - everything well with my little bean!

Upwind · 11/06/2008 17:52

That is great news Fymandbean

MsSparkle · 11/06/2008 19:48

Thanks everyone for being so kind. My dp wants me to see the doctor because i have been so depressed. I told him it's normal as my hormones are all over the place but he isn't quite convinced. I cry at the drop of a hat!

My belly is forming a bump now! Or it could have something to with the philadelphia and breadsticks i troffed the other night

fymandbean that's great news that your bean is all well and good

happyathome · 11/06/2008 20:02

FYMANDBEAN-brilliant news-you must be so thrilled..
Struggled to keep up the energy to do simple bedtime for DD tonight...wish i had LG&T's stamina...don't know how i'll get 2 to bed let alone 7

fymandbean · 11/06/2008 20:03

yes I was very relieved - I always worry at this stage that I'm not actually pregnant so it was nice to see the heartbeat!

roll on the proper scan! - mines in about 4 weeks - I'm just waiting for the letter.

How are you all - been very quiet on here today!

MissHairspray · 11/06/2008 20:05

Hi, congrats on the scans. Mine has been moved to the 9th July so I don't have to come back from hols earlier, which was good of them although it means waiting for another 4 weeks which seems like ages away. I had been a bit upset last week when I got the original date and they were being inflexible about changing it - thought it was just a dating scan and couldn't understand while some of you got yours earlier than 11 weeks and they wouldn't let me have mine before 11.2. However got the paperwork through and realised its actually a nuchal which explains it all. Wasn't going to bother paying for this privately but might as well make the most of our pct's generosity.

Got booked in today so now it feels all official!

happyathome · 11/06/2008 20:48

glad it's sorted MissHairspray!

Periwink · 12/06/2008 09:52

Hi ladies, hope it is ok for me to join. This is my first pregnancy and baby is due 4th January. Have aleady had an early scan and all seemed well with baby. My Nuchal scan is booked for the 19th June - a bit anxious about that result! All that healthy eating I planned on prior to falling pregnancy has gone straight out of the door! I had mild naseau from week 7 to week 9 and now it has gone. The tiredness however is something I never expected. Oh well I am embracing it all and being positive about all the changes in my body - my boobs have already gone up two cups sizes!!!!

tobemory · 12/06/2008 10:47

Hi all - all well with my 7 week scan this morning. All well and great heartbeat - feel like the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders!

iwouldgoouttonight · 12/06/2008 11:02

Tobemory - glad your scan went well this morning. I also had a scan this morning and saw the little heartbeat! DP was there and now it had finally sunk in with him that I am actually pregnant again! The doctor said I'm 9 weeks give or take 5 days so my guess at my due date was about right!

Quite undignified having an internal scan though - doctor told me to put my fists under my bottom to lift my pelvis up a bit, so doing that as well as having my legs spread much have make me look most attractive!

Only possible problem was that she saw a cyst on my ovary which could be where the egg has come from but she said it was bigger than usual so I have to check it at my 12 week scan to make sure its gone otherwise might have to have it removed.

tobemory · 12/06/2008 11:05

That's great! Yes, we are the same - sinking in that it is real and we are going to have 2 under 2! Are we crazy!!

tryingnottoobsess · 12/06/2008 11:11

Girls,

I'm out. Scan on Tues showed that the hb had stopped and I had a D&C yesterday .

Thanks for the chats over the last few weeks, and when I feel able I'll pop back in to check out how you're all progressing.
