Anybody else due in NOVEMBER 2009 :-) PART 2

[Koumak]

Ladies, it seems that we do not know when to stop!
Here is another thread. Let?s hope it?s just not the tread that moves that fast - let the weeks fly!
I jsut have to work out how to link the old one now!

cupoftea omg about your DHs friends - bet he is a mess? Good luck for the scan tomorrow, hope it goes well and you get the best news .

My eating habits are weird. I am feeling almost constantly neauseas, which means that I really don't fancy eating anything, however, then I start eating, and then I feel fine while I am eating so I just want to keep eating. After I have eaten I feel fine for 30 mins, then feel sick again! The food I am finding is sitting the easiest and easiest to go down is mostly chopped up fruit and yoghurt, or blended into a smoothie, or pasta with pesto and tomato sauce (DH is now calling this NATO pasta as I have to have it a set way!), fizzy water.

I am finding taking the vits difficult and have missed a few days, just the thought of swallowing them has made me gag, and I just find gulping any kind of drink makes me gag too, I can only manage drinks if I sip them . But I have just taken some with fizzy water, now feel like I need to burp!!!

Most people know now that I am pg. I found it soooooo hard this time, not to tell, I think people are sort of waiting for it to happen, so are sort of pre-empting - couple people asked outright, are you pg yet? some people say, oh when is DD getting a sibling? or similar. And we found once a few people knew, it meant we had to tell others as there were certain people we did not want to find out from other people. Sort of snowballed - at work is different, a handful of people know.

Pavlov I feel like it has snowballed over here too - apart from at work, nearly everyone knows. Once family know, they tend to tell everyone (or at least mine have done) which in a way is lovely as it makes it feel more real, and in a way scares me at how many people we would have to tell if anything awful did happen.

Cupoftea best of luck with the scan tomorrow. Your poor DH. Is he OK? that is really shocking.

My eating habits are strange too. I feel constantly a bit nauseous, often very sick, and the only time I am OK is when I am actually eating! Made myself eat some salmon for dinner as hadn't eaten any fish for ages, and I was actually gagging as I swallowed it, yuck yuck yuck.

Homeinthesun it is awful feeling so nervous isn't it. I can't believe you are nearly in your 13th week - I am not even 9 weeks yet!

Can I ask a TMI Q? Is anyone else terribly constipated? It is making me feel ill, and every time I actually manage to go, it ends up bleeding Has anyone else had this? It is awful, I hate it!

katster I thought that was just me, with the TMI stuff! I have never had it before, or perhaps once. I never spend long going to the loo, I just go, but recently not so no it is not just you.

Katster and Pavlothepregnantcat constapation is a pregnancy thing, drinking loads of water and orange juice I've just googled it and it says swimming, walking and yoga can help.

Morning all,
We have a lovely weekend away camping (although it was very wet) its been mad since we got home though washing and sorting everything!
I had a panic on Saturday, I woke up without ms and full of energy I was convinced something was wrong but after a cup of coffee in the afternoon it came back big time and I spent 30 mins throwing up . MS now seems to have shifted to afternoons everyday
I now have a date for my scan too 22nd April so not long to wait!
Pav and Kaster I've had constipation with all my pregnancys in fact at the begining of this one was very bad and I had bleeding too, your doctor can prescibe a sugary syrup for you take which may help, but like homeinthesun says drinking water and orange juice can help too!

Good luck to everyone with scans today

Homeinthesun We have our scans on the same day. I'm also due on the 4th, so nearly be at my 13th week by that time. It's such a long wait for us all.

My ms seems to be tailing off, but still get the odd bad day. It's been chronic up until recently and I was ready to phone the GP today and ask for anti-sickness tablets, but I seem to be coping better over Easter. It's a welcome relief when I'm not being sick. I didn't feel this bad with ds so part of me thinks maybe it's a girl! I had a funny turn in a supermarket yesterday and had to sit down. Dh was with me and finished off the shopping whilst I tried to compose myself.

Mostly all family and friends know our news now. It's really hard to disguise the bump and the biggger boobs for too much longer!

Hope everyone enjoyed a nice break over Easter

Another one here with constipation. It was awful a couple of weeks ago, so I did a search in the archives and came up with a super dooper breakfast to combat constipation:

a couple of tablespoons of porridge oats, soaked for at least 10 minutes (I do this in milk)
my normal cereal (Special K, because I really can't stand All Bran)
chopped up dried apricots, prunes and pear
add more milk.

Eat, and then go for an hour's walk. Et voilà!

Plus keep drinking lots of water, eat lots of fruit (with skins on) and veg, plus wholemeal bread, pasta, rice etc and beans, lentils etc.

Oh good, am relieved it's not just me. I am drinking gallons of water so don't think it's this, but may need to up my wholemeal bread. Also I think being away for 5 days and not being able to eat usual food probably didn't help.

My parents are coming down for a few days today, looking forward to seeing them.

Pavlov are you going for a scan today to reassure yourself? Good luck if so.

Perhaps I am just strange but I've had the opposite problem to most of you: I've been very productive! It might be all the fruit I am eating that I don't normally eat I don't know!

Me and the DSs are off to Wales in a few mins. They are just too excited. I can't cope with them! They are so not going to want to go to sleep tonight. Wish me luck! MS seems to have got a bit better last two days so hope it behaves itself while we are away.

Good luck to all you scanners today!

I had bizarre dreams last night involving a cow, a pint of beer, and my sister. Weird.

I also keep having miscarriage dreams that are really distressing. I am sure this is just my fears manifesting in my sleep but I wake up feeling so tearful.

homeinsthesun and fruitpastels I've got my 12 week scan on 27th as well as will be 12.5 weeks then.

I'm glad to say I haven't had any spotting for a good few days now.

katster I was writing on here a few weeks ago about how constipated I was. Nobody else seemed to be having any symptoms at that time! Prune juice is very good but I'd stick to oj if you are feeling sick. The taste is not good!

I still haven't heard from my mysterious missing midwife. After cancelling my appointment at the very last minute because she was too busy she rang to say she'd come and see me on Friday, so I waited in all day but still haven't heard anything. The GP can't give me her contact details cos someone different comes every week and nobody is answering at the hospital. Really hope I can be booked in before going back to work as they will not be impressed if I have to miss another day after having two weeks off.

Lemontop yes prune juice sounds disgusting, I think I will stick to lots of wholemeal bread and OJ. I am so hungry, it is the only thing that takes sickness off. Got weighed this morning - Have put on 3lbs since start! Read that you're only meant to put on between 2 and 4lbs in first trimester, and am only 8+3 so looks like I'll be a heifer by the end! My friend smugly told me how she hadn't put anything on until she was 15 weeks, so am feeling a bit .
Waiting for my Asda shop to arrive as well as parents who are on their way down from Yorkshire! I love the Easter holidays!
Can't believe how many of you are having scans in APRIL!! Mine's not for 3 weeks and 3 days (not that I'm counting, of course!!) by which point I will be 11+6 - soooooo far away. I feel like my lower tummy is starting to protrude a lot more than normal (it must be the extra fat, right?? Although it doesn't feel blobby, more quite hard) so am preparing 'loose' outfits for work - will have 13 school days until scan after which I will tell everyone and not care if I look a little rotund! Does anyone else have a 'protrusion' or am I being far too optimistic? (It's my first)

Hi all,

Well I am back from my scan. The baby died at some point between this scan and the one I had 2 weeks ago. I'm devestated. As the scan was performed at a private clinic, I have to go to the EPU at my local hospital tomorrow to 'discuss the options'.

Feel really sad as I still feel so pregnant- morning sickness, wearing maternity trousers... Sonographer said this is because the sac is still attached to me and still growing so I will still feel pregnant. However, the baby inside is dead.

Anyway, I really hope it all goes well for the rest of you ladies- naturally I will be thinking of you come November Take care and enjoy your pregnancies x

Oh cupoftea that is too terrible - poor you, what a sad thing for you to deal with! That is really the worst nightmare for all of us. I hope you have lots of support. We are all thinking of you - and probably most of us shedding a little tear. x

cupofteaplease I'm so sorry. How awful for you. Take care. Lots of Love. X

Oh cupoftea that is so awful. I am really sorry for you. How sad. I hope you are OK and your family have lots of support. Big hugs x

Thanks everyone. I had only told my dh about the baby, so when the sonographer told me, I was in tears and had nobody to call My husband was in an important meeting at work so I couldn't call him and the sonographer didn't know what to do. Anyway, I am home now and dh has left work so I'm not alone. Sort of wish I HAD told more people as I'm feeling quite vulnerable right now.

cupofteaplease Im so so sorry to hear your news. I read on another thread you posted on about it and felt really sad. It must be especially upsetting as you still feel pregnant. Take care of yourself and lots and lots of luck to you for the future x

Glad your dh is home now to look after you cupoftea Is there a close friend or relative you can confide in too? I'm sure it would help to talk to someone in rl but if not there is always mumsnet x

Will DH be able to go to EPU appointment with you tomorrow - I assume so. Otherwise you could always carry a lap top in and have all of us there to virtually hold your hand!

Nature is cruel sometimes.

cupoftea- I am so so sorry to hear your news...take care of yourself. x

Yes, could you confide in a close friend/relative as well, for handholding and so you can talk to someone? Have any of your friends gone through a similar thing perhaps? You poor love. It really is cruel isn't it. Will be thinking of you tomorrow at your appointment.

cupoftea I'm so sorry to read your news. Take care.

cupoftea am so sorry to hear your news. This happened to us last December so I understand exactly what you're going through. EPU will give you 3 options tomorrow - if you want the details of what they are and the implications then please do let me know and I'll go into details. Don't want to if you'd rather not as don't want to be insensitive. You do not get much time in there though and forewarning will allow you and your dh to think it through tonight.

Take whatever time you need to grieve and get over your loss. There isn't a right or wrong way to get through this, just each person's individual way. Thinking of you.

Ok.... anyone else work in an office where EVERYONE drinks coffee? I am going to have to work from home more days.

Echoing what has been said about MS with toddler. DS is almost 2 and thinks it is great fun. This morning he came to call me (and lead me by the hand) to the toilet where he went "blahhhhgggg" at the loo, and said Mummy blahhhg - like now it was my turn.

yes - it is possible to laugh and cry at the same time.

MS getting steadily worse - after craving cheese and various other exotica (artichoke, sun dried tomato) last week, this week I am lucky to keep down 1/2 a digestive. The recipe for anti-constipation made me very sick too (think it was mention of the milk). And yet, tummy getting bigger and I am now in maternity trousers!!! at 8 weeks? I ask you!

cupofteaplease Im so so sorry and I really do think you should confide in someone close so it will be easier for you. I hope DH is going with u tomorrow? Will be thinking of you x
