BFP Hysterics!!!

[Archemedes]

I did a thread like this in conception
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/conception/1394415-TTC-Hysterics-thread

I found it very helpful,and I think others did too.
Pg is such a stressful time full of worry anxieties from the very serious to the very silly.
We all all need a safe place to vent these worries without judgement or made to feel guilty.
Soooooo..
Let the Hysterics Commense!.

I'll go first..
Ive had heartburn all week , took gaviscon yesterday ,no HB today
and jeans have been digging in a but now I'm worried if the babys okay

Feeling like Crap today no energy at all

and I have things to do :(

I'm so fat the MW told me I have to take extra folic acid and I am so and

Really OMGBFP thats awful I've never even heard of that

aww hugs did she say it in a tactful way or not?

I'm currently in housepants nappy lol

Yes she was tactful and all but i still feel like shit. it's been out of my control though due to medical reasons, just ashamed I've not noticed and controlled my diet. Oh well. My BMI was 36 I think it's only if you are over a certain amount (guessing 30 or 35) that you need more. bit like some GP's when giving the Pill make overweight people take 2. just in case.

Aw yeah aw theres no nice way of saying it though is there

i'll be in that sit soon no doubt.

archemedes have you tried the hair band trick on your jeans? I use it to extend them a bit and then put a belt over so no-one can see :)
Mat jeans are so annoying for falling down all the time so I'm keeping out of those for as along as poss.

yeah i'm doing the hair band trick now lol,

still digs in a bit when I sit down lol,

Been having a bit of a wobble about sleeping on my front worried it could harm.

hoe I think that's fine in the early stages, and later you won't be able to anyway! At least I hope that's true 'cos I keep waking up on my front.....

Am SOOOOO exhausted (which makes me tetchy) but have LOADS to do, not least looking after my 23mo DD & working as a teacher. Neither jb

Blimmin phone...

Neither job cuts you much slack & I literally cannot keep up nor get enough sleep to cope. :( Luckily I only work 3 days a week & holidays in a week & a half but so much to do before then AND the house is a UTTER STATE.

The house doesn't matter as long as you've got the basics donw the rest can wait till your holidays CHCH :)

I find doing basic tasks much harder now just general exhaustion.

It's 4 weeks since my bfp and this week I'm stressing big time. Have my booking in app on Friday and don't have a clue what to expect or what I need to ask or anything.

Also, I think this tiredness may be killing me

At your booking in they will just fill in forms, weigh you, tell you the system in your locality re birthing choices, ring/write for your appointment for your scan around 12 weeks and give you leaflets about healthy living etc. And if you are 8 weeks already they'll take bloods if not get you back for that.
Really not worth the father taking time off to come with you as it's boring as all hell!

I keep constantly feeling like something bad is gonna happen

doesnt help OBEM is about complications this week.

Think that's pretty normal hoe - try not too stress too much, the odds are in your favour :)

I hope so ,

I just wanna announce it but also not as its so early.

I know that feeling hoe - could you tell a select few that you wouldn't mind sharing the good news and (god-forbid) the bad news with? I'll be sharing with parents, in-laws, sibling & maybe 1 or 2 close friends, but it won't be common knowledge until the 12wk scan. This is how we dealt with it when I was pg with my DD & it made family events and so on quite easy to deal with, iyswim.

I did the hairbobble on the jeans - my midwife told me off and said I would cut the babies head off.

Oh how I laugh at this now! But at 17, I ran out to buy maternity jeans instead of eating for a few days.

Now I'm the midwife, I will never ever tell anyone such silly crap!!!

LMAO what?????

its a hairbobble not barbed wire.

I saw that midwife again when I was doing my training - I just gave her a smug 'screw you' kind of look!!

haha love it :)

Oh dear I hope she is retired/gone now.

Its bugging me I dont have a docs surgery or a MW as im between registering. Is it 8 weeks they first visit you?
