playingatmotherhood and silverboots I'm so sorry to hear of your losses, I hope you aren't physically suffering too badly. Emotionally, do go easy on yourself and good luck with your future ttc.
tillybea I think I'm getting the greyhound nose too. Yesterday I think I smelt the rubber anti-slip mat while I was in the shower, it was either that or the water, but it comes at a price - I'm super-sensitive to my own odour as well and I seem to be more stinky than before (at least, I hope I wasn't this stinky before ). Need to find a really cracking deodorant I think
Issy everything is crossed for you for this pregnancy. It must be strange being so familiar with your pregnancy symptoms but have so many experiences of disappointment. I really hope everything goes well for you this time.
addicted I was reading my pg book this morning and it said that at 5 weeks measuring 2mm is normal and at 6 weeks 4mm, they're such small numbers though so I expect there must be quite a lot of variation. If they didn't say that you should be worried then I would just try to carry on and think positively.
I'm really suffering the nausea now, but it's mostly in the evenings. I don't throw up, I just feel really queasy and yucky. The tiredness is still there too so all in all I'm not great company at night.
Still at least during the day I'm mostly fine, so work is bearable. I really feel you ladies on the tube. My last pg I had to use the tube and hated it but we moved and now I'm on the trains for my commute. Getting a seat and having a bit more room and air makes a huge difference. I have one day off a week and today was it - I spent a lovely day with DS with a friend and her little one, I think I even caught some sun, but am now completely exhausted.
I was wondering about the swine flu thing myself and I'm going to raise it when I see the GP tomorrow - for me and also for DS who hasn't had it yet either. With a lowered immune system while pregnant, I'm not sure I want to risk it myself - but as we're leaving the cold/flu season I'd like to know what the recommendations are currently.
For those with exercise/diet concerns - honestly, just do what you need to do to get through the first weeks. Pregnancy is a really long time and you can start eating better or exercising regularly once you don't feel so rubbish (I know, it feels like you're going to feel like this forever, but unless you're really unlucky it will stop eventually).
