**August 2010** Tired days and Sicky nights, fear not ladies the end is in sight.

[KayloHalo]

shiny new thread for us to vandalise

Really sorry Boos . Take care of yourself.

Sparkle, its weird cos I never have baths then as soon as I get PG I just want to have them all the time! But I love them really really hot so I try not to indulge. I had one a few weeks ago and the water was just not hot enough, it's just not the same!

I think I will celebrate 12wks with a (small) glass of wine too!

My SIL is 7wks PG and thinks she is having a m/c. She has spotting and disappeared symptoms so she fears the worst. It is going to be hard for her to see me today I suppose . I remember when I had my mc my other SIL announced that she was PG and I felt so . It just didn't seem far that she was PG and I wasn't. But I didn't have any kids then and SIL (the one who is maybe MCing) has a DS already, so I think it is maybe a little easier to bear (still devastating though) .

Neenz - Oh that's so crap - I never realised just how many miscarriages etc there were before I got pregnant.

I'm sure your SIL wants you to be happy and that will come through - of course she will be devestated but I'm sure although you were upset about your SIL you just want what's best for them, she'll be fine - just tread carefully which I'm sure you will - she will just be glad you are happy! She does have a DS already so that'll help a small part. But she hasn't had confirmation yet so will keep everything crossed for her.

Sad news boos take care x

How you al doing ladies? totally with you on the breathable clothes, I'm off to the gap sale near work tomorrow to find some clothes that actually fit

God I feel fat, DP thinks the same about all the fruit I'm eating to. Funny really as I'm a big meat eater normally and haven't the urge for it lately.

Feeling a bit down today, the weekend has brought on terrible sickness and I'm finding it hard to relax. The long soak in the bath last night was over in minutes as I couldn't face the heat or the sickly feeling.

About now I would normally be registering for new challenges, I do a couple of triathlons a year and often compete in marathons to. I've deferred my London marathon entry for another year and have to find a way to stop people asking what I've entered for at work without telling them I'm pregnant yet as I'd really like to get past the 12 wk scan and know all is ok.

Going to start cycling into work again now the weather is a little better so it's not too obvious. God knows I need the exercise! It perfectly safe to do so and I'm thinking the fresh air will also do me some good.

It's really concerning to see how many we have lost on this thread already, I had no idea the odds where so high. I guess given the rate at which we are losing people I should be happy for the waves of sickness and bloomin sore boobies!

Off to Sainsburys to find some comfort food..

Enjoy your Sunday! x

Know how you feel littlemiss I had to defer my Half Marathon place in March and have been banned from running during pregnancy...,

Hi! I have just found out that I'm 8 weeks pregnant, due on 27 August. This will be my second baby. I have a DS who will be two in March.

Am still in a state of shock but v excited. Just did two pregnancy tests. I haven't even told my mum yet!

Feeling crappy again today - ms kicked back in due to not getting enough sleep this weekend - but wanted to say sorry to Boos and hope we see you again soon.

Welcome Dollishillbilly and congrats. It's very very nice to have some good news and a new addition to the group.

Welcome dollishillbilly.

Well, I managed to drag ds to the Gap sale and bagged a lovely pair of skinny flare maternity jeans for half price - hurrah! I was so happy they fitted me that I put them on as soon as we got home. But then I remembered how annoying I find mat jeans - they never seem stay up on me. As soon as I start doing anything resembling tidying up or playing with ds they just start creeping down my hips! Grr. Maybe I'm just buying the wrong type? Damn. More shopping!

Hi all

I only seem to dip in and out of contributing to this thread but have been keeping up on my reading of your thoughts as much as I can. This thread moves so fast! So sorry to hear that so many have had sad news.

I don't know about the rest of you but the greatest thing for me (who at 8 weeks has only told DH because he wants to keep it a secret until 12 weeks!) is the sharing of our experiences. So with that in mind ...

This week was a nightmare at work. My job is high pressured anyway but I am finding pregnancy on top a bit of a challenge. Whether or not it was linked I don't know but I had terrible stretching pains on Tues and Wed, so much so though that I was knicker checking every half hour! Then with the stress of it all ("all" most likely just being work!)I developed chest pains and dizziness. And tears.

I phoned by GP on Wednesday lunchtime who told me to go to the EPU at St George's in Tooting. They only do a morning clinic and the wait til the next morning was agony! But the point of all this is that if anyone ever needs to go to an EPU don't hesitate! It was so reassuring and helpful and they didn't make me feel silly, or a time waster or an inexperienced first preggers or anything. They did a scan - I've seen the heartbeat! - and talked me through everything in such a fantastic way that I immediately felt better and - bizarrely - the pain went away!

I really hope that none of you need to use your local EPU but if you do, I hope you have an experience like mine.

I've never been so happy as to have sore boobs and MS (which strangly I seem to only get after 6pm!)

Take care of yourselves and happy food cravings!

xx

Littlemiss72 - i cycle to work too (although I DO NOT RUN) and even have dd3 on my bike (plus the other 2 dds on their bikes) - I am quite proud of them - they cycle just over 4 miles a day!!! My GP cycled to hospital in labour - a bit dedicated to the cause I feel

Oh Boo, so sorry to hear the news!

Nervous and excited - St Georges is the most fab hospital for the antenatal stuff, had dd there and used EPU several times. Also had a few complications about growth and they were brilliant, scanned me every 4 weeks etc.

Just chatting to DH and he said he can't believe that we are 10 weeks this week and that it has all gone so quickly!!!!! We haven't told anyone although a friend has guessed and it was a relief to get it out in the open but then I really trust her so i don't think she is going to spill the beans. Also my PT (I used to have one!) knows as he wondered why I hadn't wanted to see him - got a pt after dd to shift the weight and didn't manage to lose the weight I wanted but did get back to pre pregnancy and a little less (although I wanted to lose 2.5 stone!).

Anyway am currently on the macaroni cheese - homemade with baby toms on top - scrummy!

bouncing yes, i wore my maternity jeans today and did exactly the same....pulled them up all day!!
i'm really annoyed as never really lost the weight after DD1 (in fact think i piled more on since having her...) and now i just feel really uncomfortably fat...dreading getting really 'pregnant' fat as i know i found it quite disabling first time round when i wasn't overweight. oh well. off to bed now as dd has ANOTHER cough/cold and I expect an unsettled night is in store...was up for 2 hours last night, before a 6am start. it's so awful hearing them coughing isn't it, nothing seems to help and you feel so helpless
still, at least i'll be used to the sleepless nights to come with DC2 i guess!

So sorry to read your post Boos, take care of yourself

Welcome in Dollishillbilly, pull up a comfy chair .

I've gone through so much fizzy water this weekend that I've not stopped peeing. I'm already off tea - which is a dead giveaway that I'm pregnant - so I'm going to have to do an 'Oh, I'm trying to cut down on tea and drink more water' routine at work from tomorrow. Anyone else having to do something similar?

Sometimes I don't think I could function without some caffiene so I save mine up for work days! (2 per week!)

driedapricots so know what you are saying about that disabling feeling of being pregnant fat! In fact I actually got the PT (saw it as a health investment!) after I started weaning and discovered that I couldn't bend down or get up very easily or without joint pain and thought enough was enough. I have actually been looking into cancelling my gym membership (too far away!) and looking into getting a pt to come to my home (seems made I know but will be cheaper than my gym membership to have someone come 2 x per month). Am hoping someone will get back to me as think it will be beneficial for me to have some continued fitness throughout this pregnancy with advice on what I am doing right and wrong. Believe me when I say at over 180lbs before getting pg, I really need to keep an eye out.........and I am just not very good at denying myself food..... otherwise I am going to be on the wii fit and following davina's pre and post natal dvd which basically means they will both sit near the tv whilst I catch up on something else!

Thank you for the welcome!

I blame Slimming World for this pregnancy . I joined in October because I hadn't lost any baby weight, managed to lost just over a stone and - bang - pregnant again!

so sorry boos

welcome sophable & dollishillbilly

Morning Ladies

Went to my Dad's last night for dinner. Had so much to eat! Crisps and dip, roast pork and all the trimmings, homeade banoffee pie. Yum Yum Yum! DH was sick in the night we all had the same to eat, and he is ok this morning so i think it was a case of him eating too much tbh

I am still on the sparkling water, nice with orange juice. Just had mini shredded wheats with honey and nuts. I can't stop eating!!

Can't believe i will be 10weeks this week. It is starting to feel more real now. I am still getting the urge to throw up (but not really much queasiness) and find that bolied sweets stop me gagging. Only problem is that i have really gone off boiled sweets now.

Hello ladies

Just caught up with the thread and am really sorry to see that lots have had to leave us Hope to see you on new antenatal threads very soon.

Well, I'm 11+2 today and have my first scan tomorrow. I am really scared as still have hardly any symptoms (apart from sore boobs) and am convinced it will be bad news. I really want to know one way or another but also feeling sooo apprehensive.

Will let you know how I get on, fingers crossed.

Hope your scan goes well NichyNoo, I'm sure all will be fine

That dinner sounds yum Alice!

I have been drinking pineapple juice with lemonade at the mo, everything else tastes so plain!

sorry its took me so long to get back on here, had MILs funeral on thurs so havent really been on computer this week.

Bunnybaby- yes i was on due dec 2007 thread! think I might have been in Nov too tho as I was actually due in nov but raimee didnt make her appearance until 2nd dec!! thats pretty funny, it must be a common age gap to leave between babies!

just been buyin little toys to try and distract raimee with at her heart scan on fri, really dreading it, i know she'll scream the place down.

is anyone else not really having any preg symptoms? starting to get paranoid cant wait for scan on mon! xx

hello
i think I will be leaving the thread too. Had a horrible weekend, started bleeding on Friday evening, and went to A& E for 5 hours - they weren't very helpful. On Saturday bleeding got much worse and had really bad cramps. Went back to A & E for another 4 hours, but was all rather pointless.
I have a early scan booked on Wednesday but I know in my heart that there's nothing there anymore.
Am feeling completely empty and numb at the moment
Good luck to everyone else, hope everything goes well for you all

Oh freezing that sounds bad you poor thing.

Don't give up hope completely though. Just take it easy. Is Wednesday the first apt they have? Long wait

Had my booking apt today. Hoped to hear heartbeat but mw wouldn't do it at 11 wks. So the waiting agony continues until the scan on Friday.

Tried to get her to lift the exercise ban but no. Only walking. Argh feel wierd without exercise.

Still healthy baby better isn't it.

Oh no freezing, so sorry to hear that,
take care x

Freezing - so sorry to hear your bad news - I hope you have people giving you lots of cuddles. Take good care of yourself.

It has really upset me the amount of people we have had leave this thread - I am quite shocked.

Hopefully no more and lots of sticky healthy growing bumps and beans x

I'm so sorry freezing . it's just not fiar is it.

sorry, meant fair
