fingers (and legs) crossed for you lemontops. Could you try ringing epu now? I know ours is a 24-hour ward so at least you'd get a reassuring voice on the end of the phone, and even perhaps a scan booking? I didn't know we had an EPU here until I needed them - I just phones the midwife unit at the hospital and they forwarded my call.

I've just thrown up my meagre dinner of boiled potatoes and veg. I'm starving but at a loss to know what to eat... Toast just doesn't seem to fill you up the same!

Told both sets of parents today due to the appearance of mega sickness. I just can't lie about how I'm feeling if asked Cue PIL getting over excited and my folks being sensible and on my wavelength of 'nothing's official 'till there's a scan picture'.

Might have to tell work too...

Not been able to catch up with everyone - hope you all had a fab weekend.

Lemon try not to worry I had spotting / discharge through the first 4 months of my first pregnancy, my DS is now 15 - take it easy and rest up.

pinkfizzle · 22/03/2009 22:09

helips- hope you got that beef pie!

lemontop - try let go of any worrying thoughts for tonight and concentrate on trying to rest so that you catch some zzzz's in time for tomorrow as you have had a roller coaster of a day. take loads of care. sending you happy positive pregnancy thoughts. lol

ursigurke · 23/03/2009 06:55

Good morning everyone! Once again I had a short night. I hope you all had a nice weekend and will have a nice and easy week without worries.
Lemontop - I hope you are feeling better today and will be able to have a scan or an appointment today. I'm sure everything will be fine.
katster37 - I had (and still sometimes have) light cramps too. I have written an email to my gynaecologist back home as I wasn't sure when I will ever meet a doctor here. So she told me to take a magnesium supplement. I didn't do that but I started to eat lots of bananas and it definitely got better.
And I think it's normal that we already have problems when doing some exercise. You can not imagine how I feel when I arrive in my flat on the 4th floor and I'm not yet carrying any heavy weight with me.

PootleTheFlump · 23/03/2009 08:08

weston mrsdisorganised hobknob & becky - Thank you so much for all your reassuring messages. Becky I agree about what it says in the books, it kind of infers that no sickness is bad if lots of sickness is good. But it's great to hear people have had healthy pregnancies without sickness, thank you. (who knows it could kick in in a couple of weeks and I'll regret missing it !!

lemontop fingers crossed for you (I'd go for EPU everytime)

BeckyBendyLegs · 23/03/2009 08:23

Hello all! How are you all today? I'm feeling just slightly more 'crap' every day. Still don't feel properly sick yet, it just feels just like something is slowly poisoning me, if that makes sense. Bleugh!

lemontop fingers crossed from me too. Brown discharge is better than red as that implies 'old' blood rather than fresh blood. Good luck xx.

I'm an emotional cripple at the moment too. Dancing on Ice last night had me in floods.

Ahhh the cat has just widdled on the red bean bag!!!! Back later...

ButtercupWafflehead · 23/03/2009 08:24

Hi everyone! Well I reckon I am now 7 weeks and bleurgh the MS seriously kicked in over the weekend! (and I thought I'd got away with it....)

Luckily it coincided with Mothers' Day so my amazing DH let me stay in bed practically all day, reading whilst he took care of DS. I was pacing the floor in the bathroom for ages - I hate throwing up but sometimes it's better to get it over and done with!

Feel much better today and hope it stays that way or I won't be able to get into my car for the next however long (travelsick too!)

Still, 7 weeks - 5 weeks 'til we can start telling people I guess!

Good luck to all of us!

Fruitpastels · 23/03/2009 09:06

Morning! I can't keep up with everyone. I've not been able to post for a while as the ms has been shocking and constant for the last 3 weeks! Spent all day on the sofa yesterday and couldn't attend the lunch my dh had booked . Instead I slept and watched TV whilst dh took ds off to the park for the afternoon. Even the fridge is making me sick when I open it! It's a new fridge and doesn't smell, I think it's the coldness and all the food sitting looking at me. I think I've lost a bit of weight, which most women wouldn't mind, but I'm petite and need all the fat I can get! I want to fast forward the next few weeks - I'm sure we all feel like that!

becks130 · 23/03/2009 09:25

Pregnancy signs had definitely kicked in I feel truly horrendous and was actually sick at the weekend. I have it all sickness, nausea, tiredness and back pains. MS seem different from last time with DS, it actually seems worse this time. I am finding it hard to do basic things like moving off of the sofa!

Katster I have cramping all the time, is was quite bad last week so I was sent for an early pregnancy scan last Monday but all they saw was the sac (was a good sign as everything was in the right place) so I am going back on Thursday for a re scan. The cramps have calmed down a lot but if I get up too fast I am bent over in pain, Dr said that it is ligaments stretching and is very normal, yours sounds similar but if you are worried check with your Dr.

Lemontop I hope everything is fine, fingers crossed for you.

becks130 · 23/03/2009 09:32

Sorry forgot to say morning all and I hope you all had a nice mothers day.

scarlotti · 23/03/2009 10:11

Morning all

Echoing the crapness here too. Nausea is pretty constant for me now from morning to night, and the one time I was actually sick I didn't feel better either. have found drinking fizzy drinks seems to help (maybe gets rid of the wind?)

Getting crampy pains too, esp if I get up or move too quickly so presuming we must all be starting to expand now uterus wise. I also seem to be expanding waist wise - ended up in maternity trousers at the weekend as none of my regulars now fit. My fat jeans just make me look fat!

Fruit hope things start to ease for you hon. Are you working at the same time? I too would love to fast forward the next 5 weeks. I find I get quite sorry for myself if it's been a really bad day ms wise. You're not alone.

scarlotti · 23/03/2009 10:12

Lemontops hope you're feeling better today and can get to the epu for reassurance.

iggypiggy · 23/03/2009 11:06

hello all - busy weekend on here

I have GP appointment today - then early scan next monday.

katster I get wierd streching/ cramping feelings from time to time.

Scarlotti me too! My loose trousers fit perfectly now... a worry at this early stage!

cupcake fingers crossed for your scan next week. but a heartbeat is good though isn't it?

iggypiggy · 23/03/2009 11:11

ps. did anyone else read that article in the sunday times style magazine about orgasms and giving birth

here it it:

atricle

scarlotti · 23/03/2009 11:36

Gosh - if it's true then I want one!!

iggypiggy · 23/03/2009 11:39

that's what i was thinking!

cupcakefairy · 23/03/2009 12:02

Yeah I know, a heartbeat is definitely great news.. what's worrying me is that the doc didn't just say 'there's a heartbeat, everything should be fine you don't need another scan til 12 weeks' but she asked me to come back again...and kept going on about how little the baby had grown in a week... I know I may be reading way too much into it and she's prob just trying to reassure me with another scan...who knows.

I have been feeling ridiculously tired and sick all weekend. V hard to hide the pg from my siblings but I'm still determined not to tell them until I know it's good news. It's the first baby in the family for like, 10 years so really want it to be nice news for them. Plus, my SIL had a phone call while I was at home yest from her sister who announced she is pg and due in Nov!! So we definitely couldn't say after that though it was soo tempting! Both my sisters kept asking when we are going to produce a niece/nephew.. sigh

Also at church the priest was handing out roses to all the mums for mothers day and said to me 'you should be getting one next year!' I was a bit speechless...my mum muttered to me 'hm, many a true word spoken in jest!'

This morning my work friends are pestering me about why I wasn't in some of last week...I am so rubbish at lying I'm sure they've all guessed but never mind!

I'm sat at my desk eating cashew nuts..my pregnancy book says they are high in iron and therefore good, and I love 'em so hooray!

How is everyone? (Sorry that was a long post!)

turtle23 · 23/03/2009 12:15

Forgot to mention that I am a doula...my next client is due in two weeks. Somehow it may not be so easy to be non-emotional this time!!

iggypiggy · 23/03/2009 12:53

I had never even heard of a doula until i saw that article!

FairyBex · 23/03/2009 13:55

Hi all, can I join please.

I got BFP at the weekend but have no symptoms at all so it's all a bit strange at the moment. Although i'm not complaining

ldeeanna · 23/03/2009 14:00

Hi!! Hope everyone is ok!! Got fingers crossed for you cupcake im sure you'll be fine-priest seems to think so!!!

Can I have some re-assurance or advise please?!! Had a horrible trip yesterday, My partner left the oven door open and i was cutting onions and I couldnt see and tripped over... Felt a large jolt in my pelvis and had funny on/off dull pains through the evening. and now today Ive had sharp pains that are spreading to my lower back-very quick pains and ive only had two of them but I feel sick-Im so scared of miscarriage as I lost my last and I dont think I could cope with another. Luckily I can sit down at work without having to give reason as I work with my partner so hopefully I will gived my apple seed a rest!
Everyone tonight there is a programme on C4 called Sperm race-something like that! on at 9pm! Im quite fascinated by how much our babies had to go through to get into our bellies! They use humans to demonstrate what it wold be like if we were racing to the egg!! Sorry for long message!! x

brightonbaby · 23/03/2009 14:03

Hi, I'm new here. Can I join in? I've tried to catch up on this already massive thread. Really happy to have found this :-)

Welcome to the newbies!
Ideeanna - I think you really should see a doctor or go to an EPU. It might be nothing but reassurance would be good I guess.
And probabely it would be good if you don't move too much.
My sister was snowboarding in her 5th or 6th week and fell once. After a bleeding she went to see her doctor who made her stay at home for a couple of weeks. I think she had sort of a bruise in her uterus which in the end was no problem.

ursigurke · 23/03/2009 14:29

EasyEggs - are you going to see a doctor? Good luck anyway, hopefully it will be nothing.
