pregnancy symptoms

Are there any of you who have been pregnant before and knew from their symptoms what was happening?

I am on day 40, my longest to date, the last couple of days I have felt sick and I have got puffy ankles and fingers, I have gone up 2 rings sizes in about a week. I am really tired, and my temp has been up for about 4 days, usually 36.3/36.4 currently between 36.9 and 37.3. Any ideas?

yes there is theres the fishmongers. Or a Macdonalds, they always made me heave in early pg.

Flamesparrow · 30/06/2005 17:17

Oooh no, I was really into fish smells with DD

maddyd · 30/06/2005 17:20

Thjats gross Fs. I loved the smell of Dettol. I even bathed in it.

Flamesparrow · 30/06/2005 17:22

Hmmm... no anything chemically I hated - cried cos my flatmate used sink unblocker when I was about 8 weeks, and I could still smell it when we moved out (20 weeks)!!!

maddyd · 30/06/2005 17:24

How about your other half. I couldnt stand mine to come near me for the first 12 weeks. Very damaging to his confidence but i couldnt stand the smell of him, dont know what it was, he does wash honest!!!

Flamesparrow · 30/06/2005 17:27

Lol - Never had that problem! I was extremely sick though, so he was too scared to touch me incase I threw up!

night girlies, I have celebrated the end of day 43 with tastey chinese, yay. What else made people sick in morning sickness? I didn't have anything specific, just boredom, if I didn't keep entertained I puked, random that.

I can't bare it, infact I think I might be going slowly insane! I've got a doctors appointment for Friday next week to get a test done with them if I haven't come on by then.
