well... this is scary

Hello queenofdreams and blackpenny - loving both your names!

Definitely cancel Wholelottalove - I'm sure your friend wouldn't want you to go if you're not feeling good.

I've had a the worst week for nausea yet. In fact Thursday was pretty hellish with some actual vomitting (sorry TMI) but yesterday and (touch wood) so far today not feeling so bad.

Hope you all have splendid weekends x

I hope not too QueenofDreams. I was sick a lot with DD, lost lots of weight as it was pretty much after every meal and for the whole pregnancy but I would just be sick then feel fine afterwards.
I didn't have any sickness really with DS, only felt sick when I smelled Chilli con carne or chocolate!
This time though I just feel like I'm going to be sick all the time, but am not, I heave a lot but nothing comes up (sorry for TMI.

I would feel really guilty if I had to go off sick especially as I've just taken on a higher role to cover someone on long-term sickness.

Hi all- Wendy very sorry to read your news- my thoughts are with you.

Things ticking on okay here- Dr appointment on Thursday went well- my GP is great and was very excited for me! She gave me my options of hospitals and to be honest none of them appeal- I have been doing some research and have read loads of horror stories- they all have rated very poorly. Still feeling very emotional- yesterday morning was in floods of tears when discussing hospital options with DH- normally I am not like this! Have been feeling way less tired the last couple of days and more energy- yay! Enjoy the weekend all of you.

Oh Dear - so sick!! Yesterday I was sick at the table in a restaurant, luckily managed to hide behind a napkin - only DH noticed, but still it was awful. I also don't have any energy at all, I'm as limp as a rag doll. DH has been absolutely great but I wouldn't blame him for wondering where his usually vibrant and capable wife has gone and when this feeble creature is going to disappear. Sorry to moan but if not here, where?

Welcome to queenofdreams and blackpenny

Sorry to those who are feeling sick and I think it's fine to moan here! I'm feeling worse today and also had some heaving although not sick yet. It does take it out of you. The only cure I found last time was to eat little and often and try not to get too tired as that makes it worse. Easier said than done though. I told DH this morning I was going to record myself saying 'I feel sick' and put it on loop for the next ten weeks or so...

Had a lovely day in the sun at my sister's house and a BBQ which was fab. DD really enjoyed herself, but I've caught the sun a bit. Hopefully it will cover the deathly pallor/spots combination I have going on - so attractive!

Hi everyone, can I join this thread?

I am 7 weeks, due 11th December. I am 34 and this is my first. Pleased that I am finally able to say I am excited after the last 3 weeks feeling anxious and not wanting to jinx anything.

Had a bit of nausea on and off and some days where I could have literally slept all day. Boobs are sore and a few spots popping up.

Hope everyone is feeling ok and Congratulations!

Morning all, hope you ladies are all having a lovely and restfull weekend.

So sleepy, I literally may bite DP's head off if he doesnt help me with DD today - going to a kids birthday party (hell on earth) then to visit my 96 year old Great Aunt (who I love) and planning on telling her Im "in the family way"

Still havent told our parents yet - thats too scary even though its our second!!!!

Morning all.
We've told MIL and DPs sibs about baby 2 being on the way. Haven't told my family yet though, and don't plan to until the 12 week mark is passed.
Slightly queasy here but that's only because I haven't eaten yet.
Hope everyone is doing okk.
Off to eat.

Morning all. Had a lovely day yesterday, went into Cambridge for a meal with dp and my parents and then bought a few bits for my ds2's room and painted it when we got back, was quite late but I only did around all the edges, dp did most of it.

Woken up to rain now though after a beautiful day yesterday. I feel soooo tired still, not sick at all yet, but sore boobs and headachy a fair bit.

I have a drs appt during the week and I hope to be referred for an early scan due to my previous miscarriages. I'm really quite worried and am always (sorry tmi) checking for blood when I go to the loo

We told my parents and dp's mother on the day we found out QOD, dp told his brother yesterday (via text, they don't talk on the phone much) and he hasn't even bothered to reply, not sure why I thought he would as he didn't even say anything at all when he told him about my misscarriage. It is an odd way to behave isn't it? He's older than dp and travels a lot still but seems not to care about much other than himself, he lives between his mum's house and his girlfriend's parents house. Oh well, mustn't let it affect us and enjoy it any less.

Hope everyone is well this morning. I keep remembering to take my folic acid late in the day so I'm glad I remembered just now!

morning all, first morning of feeling properly sick this morning. feeling a bit grin all round tbh. sick, tired and sore. ah, the joys of being pg! wouldnt change it for the world mind.

off to do a bit shopping for myself today. lots of leggings and long tops as i cant fit in any of my jeans anymore

hope you all have a fab sunday.

Have a fun day mumatron My jeans are getting a little tight but I think that's just my eating lol.

I forgot to say, I did another test yesterday the clearblue ones that tell you how long since conception, and it has gone up from 1-2 to 2-3 which equates to 4-5 weeks pregnant (or thereabouts) and I was 5 weeks yesterday I was just happy to see that my hormone levels are going up!

Congratulations to all the newbies. Hope everyone's doing well (morning sickness aside)

My jeans are getting tight too so I think I'll have to go shopping soon. I practically lived in jogging bottoms last time round and it was so much better than first time when I refused to give up wearing jeans.

Anyone else getting headaches?

I get quite frequent migraines when I'm not pg but with dd and ds they stopped which was great but nobody seems to have told this baby that. Problem is I can't take migraine tablets as they could affect the baby and strong painkillers are also a no-no.

Poor DH has to cope with me being emotional and snappy coz my head hurts, and to top it all off he's hurt his back and can't move without a lot of pain.

Rant over, sorry bout that

Hi everyone. DD is having a mammoth nap after a late night last night and DH is at MIL's house so I'm taking the opportunity to put my feet up. Feel sicky but not as bad as yesterday. I know fatty foods are supposed to be bad for m/s but I had a bacon, egg and mushroom sarnie this morning and it was really nice!

Welcome and congrats angelsw12 crazykat that sounds horrible about the migraines. I used to get them when I was younger. It must be tough if your DH has hurt his back too.

Out of most of my jeans too already

HOpe you enjoy the shipping, mumatron

Hi everyone, wholelottalove - fatty foods seem to be about the only things that are helping my nausea atm.

Feeling like utter crap atm, and have nothing in the house to relieve it until we do the shopping tomorrow . DP feels really bad and feels like it's his fault that I feel so ill.

I really don't like it this time. I think it's a girl as I didn't feel any kind of nausea with the boys except when I was hungry with ds2, but this is constant. (Or maybe it's just cos I'm past 30 now!)

I really shouldn't moan cos at least I haven;t actually been sick but I really feel like a good old moan today.

I'll try and be happier next time I post, well if I don't post 'til tomorrow I'll e ok as I'll have a house full of food .

I've got nausea without being sick, it's horrible and lasts all day.

I didn't have any ms with dd or ds which is probably a good thing coz if it had been like this dd would probably have been an only child.

crazykat try stuff that have ginger in them. I have ginger tea with ginger cookies and ginger pickel with dinner and lunch and nausea is gone under control!

mumatron happy shopping! I am shopping for a size bigger too and have bought already an amazing maternal pants, which can be worn from now to 9 months! It's so fun to shop and I do believe it is good for the baby as mummy is happy and besides you walk, which is also healthy!

I put on 5 lbs (2.2 kg) yesterday and lost it today! I believe it was water retention or some sort of puff?! how weird is that?!

hello,

New to mumsnet, new to pregnancy and due December 2 or thereabouts. Feeling well so far, hope it continues, though worried I should be feeling more and something is actually wrong. any thoughts on private pregnancy scans. sorry if this has been asked before.

thanks!

purplehibicus a friend of mine had a private scan because the local hospital couldn't fit her in until 14 weeks! She couldn't wait so paid for one privately, she was so happy.

Thanks PJen, I'll have to get some ginger biscuits, I'm not usually a fan but if there's even a chance they'll stop this nausea I'll try them.

First midwife appointment tomorrow I can't wait, it makes it more real.

purplehibiscus - don't worry about lack of 'morning sickness', be thankful for it! I had none at all with either of my last pregnancies, unfortunately it's hitting me 3rd time around!

Hi all, I'm new to mumsnet and due 30 December - this is my first time. Did two tests this weekend after being three days late and only got a very faint line on both - but very definitely a line... All a bit surreal at the moment! How long did it take for the news to sink in with all of you?

LPxx

Wendy, so sorry to hear your news.

I hope everyone has had a good day. I've had a lovely weekend away with friends, I have had to explain why I'm off booze and needing a nap in the middle of the day.

Has anyone else tried telling DCs yet? I have asked DD 2.3 how she would feel about Mummy having another baby and I think all I've done is make her anxious - I told her she was my big girl and she got quite upset - insisting that she was a baby not a big girl. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to explain without worrying her?

I've been getting headaches too, no sickness still though, I do feel quite dizzy at the moment though.

I had 2 boys and a girl so far and didn't notice any difference in sickness or symptoms at all so I don't think that has much to do with gender tbh. I didn't get morning sickness with any of mine, only felt sick a bit. I'm drinking loads and loads of water though, always thirsty and I'm getting heartburn already. I got that quite badly towards the end with all 3 of mine.

Had a lovely day, hope others did too.

Well hello and big congratulations to all the new ladies

privatescans yes had one on Friday was lovely
confirmed my dates of 8 weeks, saw heartbeat and the baby wiggle

re telling your DC, my DD is 3.4 and so I told her when I first found out (because I couldnt tell any one else) she was excited, because I told her that "we" were going to have a baby and asked her if shed help me look after it. Then I asked her to think of a name for it, lol (she thinks Tessa) and where would it sleep etc

laylapink try using a digital test - its much easier to see it saying "pregnant 1-2" than trying to squint and see if there's a line, IMHO

DH ran the marathon yesterday and just missed the time he wanted - I'm not sure that its sunk in with him that he'll never get the training in he needs to beat that time next year, if we have a four month old baby to cope with (God willing)

Hope all of you feeling rough don't feel too miserable at the same time. I'm just off to the doctors for the first time - scary - telling a "grownup" that I'm pg will make it feel real (even at 31, I still consider doctors, teachers and policemen "grownups" - I'm certainly not!!)
