Hey all,
Am at work so probably shouldn't be on here but have pretty much ground to a halt and just staring at my list of jobs having done all the urgent ones and completely lost motivation to do the trivia. Nausea (I wouldn't call it morning sickness, not actually been throwing up) back full force today, sipping water between patients. It's finally gone now I've eaten something. On the up side - two giant and satisfying poos today already! Boyfriend says he thinks he's beginning to see a bump but I think he's just being kind. All clothes fit the same. Except bras - I cracked and bought myself a new bra this morning (at 5am, dangerous time to be sleepily shopping!) It's only one size up so maybe it was a bit of a stupid purchase, but it was half price on bravissimo and looked comfy AND pretty. It will probably be too big or small or something. And yes, I too am plagued with the insomnia - go to sleep at 10ish fine, but awake by 3 or 4 usually that's it. It's a bit tiring.
Despite no scans or anything, I'm finally beginning to feel reasonably confident that nothing terrible is going to happen. I'm 10+3 today and no bad symptoms so far. I'm probably going to start worrying about Down syndrome or something now. Blah, this worrying thing is not like me. I keep thinking "what if my womb is EMPTY? what if the baby is ALREADY dead?" even though both things seem quite unlikely.
Yomping I totally feel your pain on the gym front. I am managing to go swimming about once or twice a week and maybe 5-6 miles walking at the weekend. I haven't done running, or weights, or circuit training for weeks now. I really want to start some yoga but I'm rarely home before 7pm and I'm just so ... tired. I can't remember how I used to do it? Partly it's that I used to work on my feet (in a GP surgery currently so sat down all day). I used to walk to and from work when I worked in a nearer hospital (1.5 hrs walking a day, up hill) and then be on my feet for 8-12 hours. And I still did weights in the evenings and hiking all my days off. God, the old me sounds so cool, I miss her!
Beeblebear I'm glad the work talk went reasonably ok and that you got some good feedback. My hormones seem to be manifesting themselves as paranoia that I'm shit at my job at the moment, so the value of nice feedback is immeasureable!
bella and midgetm thinking of you with your scans, and Heeheeheebum wish I could give you big hugs, take care of yourself, thinking of you.
Fjordmor the stepdaughter situation sounds like a nightmare. Wish I had some advice or comforting words, but it seems like so much of it is up to your partner to sort out! I mean your hands are sort of tied here aren't they... Thinking of you. Also: I'm always cold! even more so than usual. No idea what that means.
I'm sorry if I've missed anyone!
