[dizzy85]

@MrsB899 hope you don't mind I started a new thread as went to reply on the last one and it seems to have hit the limit on 1000 posts 😆

@Cupcakes1234 aw sorry to hear that, how come he doesn't want to? Men don't quite understand the worries we go through do they. Hopefully the anxiety feeling passes soon for you, it's not nice. I have on off days feeling like it maybe it's all the hormones? and also not sleeping enough does it to me too. I'm sure everything is all good though! you will probably feel much better once you've had the scan. I brought a packet of cheap pregnancy tests yesterday just to check but then I've been too scared to do one.

How is everyone doing?

Hello @Cupcakes1234 I'm good just super tired, had a blood test and my anaemia has got which is making me drained a bit, apart from that just counting down the days till my appointment😄. How about you? Are you feeling better?

Aww that must be hard. I feel for you. Yeah I'm feeling good actually, now I've had time to process everything I'm feeling quite positive. Still getting nauseous mainly in the morning but I'm taking it as a good thing lol. When is your appointment?

Im still feeling sick most of the time. It’s hard bloody work! 7+2 today. Still waiting for my booking app with the midwife, but have all the others booked in already.

@Cupcakes1234 It is quite hard work but I'm hoping the iron tablets start doing something soon🤞🏻. Aw that's really good to hear your feeling more positive 🙂! my appointment is a week on Thursday I can't wait! Hopefully they will book the scan not long after.

Hi all. Hope you're all well. I got back from holiday on Friday and then spent the whole weekend in bed feeling sick. I'm just over 9 weeks and read that sickness can peak around now. Hoping it's that and I haven't caught a bug. Still feeling a bit sicky now but touch wood no vomiting today. Just over 2 weeks until scan 🤗

@LuciBee I think I m about the same as you roughly 7 weeks but until I have a scan. I have my first midwife appointment a week tomorrow, from memory I had to wait for a letter in the post for my scan appointment which is frustrating. I feel for you @MrsB899 I've only felt sick so can only imagine how you are feeling. Hopefully it'll ease up in the next couple of weeks for you

@MrsB899 oh man i was hoping the sickness would peak around 7 weeks ha! i had it until 14 weeks last time so i have a long way to go yet if it's the same! i feel like its been stronger this time though. I just havent found anything yet that makes me feel a little bit better. i cant even really drink a lot as it makes me feel even more sick.

The sickness is horrible I keep getting it on and off. Is everyone managing to eat healthy, when you can eat? I was trying to be good but recently I feel like I'd rather eat chocolate or mini trifles than eat a good healthy meal 🙈 hopefully it's just a phase😂

I was on a bit of a diet before I found out (around 10st) but trying to eat healthier and lose my old mum lol. I did lose a little bit of weight too to be fair but since I found out I'm like sod it 😂. No point trying to watch what I'm eating now lol, baby needs the food 😂 I think my partner wishes I would eat better though

I was feeling so smug because I felt so good. Now I feel horrendous out of nowhere the sick feeling and the heartburn is something else. Fingers crossed it doesn't stick around. I've just been eating little and often and I'm finding extra strong mints are helping the sick feeling but that's about it

I’ve just just been eating whatever I want to eat to be honest. At this point it’s that or nothing! Just waiting for dh to bring home my kebab!

Yer I guess it's better that we are eating than not, even if it is chocolate 😄 I'm sure my love for salads will return eventually😂

@MrsB899 I've been drinking peppermint tea which I find soothing on the stomach I dunno if that might help you?

This is going do sound completely mental but does anybody have any feeling about sex of baby yet? I knew straight away with my first that it was a boy but remained team yellow and sure enough it was a boy. We will be team yellow again this time lol

I think i'm having a girl lol. No reason for me to think that what so ever... i just do. Were not finding out though, so will have to wait until Feb to see if I'm right ha!

I had a bag of crisps for breakfast this morning... very nutritious! i just find that the saltiness helps a bit.

I've got a feeling girl too lol. No idea why though, strange isn't it. Whatever helps lol, I've eaten early this morning to see if that helps stop me feeling sick later in the morning 🤞🏼

I've said from the start I think I'm having a boy but it could just be wishful thinking as I grew up in a family of girls so I'd love to have a boy! But it does actually feel like it. I'm not gonna find out though, are you?

@LuciBee I had some crisps for breakfast too 😂

we didnt find out with dc1 and were not going to find out this time either, i loved the suprise and was so glad i waited. just makes it so exciting and kind of helps through labour lol.

Yer I think a final surprise at the end will be really exciting 😊

Not finding out here either and because we didn't last time we have everything neutral anyway 😊

I can't wait to start buying things 🥰

haha! i think I'm only going to get about 3 things this time, i have most of it (in neutral colours) from dc1. i want the new version of the prep machine, snuz pod (i had a moses basket last time), and a double buggy. that's it. although i know its far to early to be thinking about all that!

I have no idea what I need or don't need! I like the idea of a snuzpod though as everyone I know with a Moses basket none of their babies seem to settle much in them. Oh I have so much to learn😄 I think I might be having some kind of hormonal peak today coz I've been really up and down and started feeling overwhelmed earlier and freaking out!

Morning ladies, hope your all ok. I'm a little bit worried this morning about some spotting, yesterday I had some light pink which I'm not concerned about but today when I wiped it was bright red, not loads but still it's scared me. Has anyone had this with it being bright red? Do you think it's normal or should I get it checked out?
