8 weeks pregnant and looking for people to talk to.

[MrsM2016]

Hi ladies, I am new to this forum. I am 8 weeks pregnant today with my first baby. Thought I would join in hope to speak to other ladies for advice and support. Lots of love. X

Zannahhh - I'm a needle and hospital phobe! I told them at every appointment what I was like (I either faint or run for the hills) so they never showed me a needle and had me lie down instead of sitting up on a chair with the risk of keeling over!

Just make sure you let everyone know and they'll tend to use smaller/thinner needles and distract you while they do it. Good luck!

P.S - I had a blood test yesterday and I was so proud of myself I felt like asking them for a badge!

LaBergere I spent a lot of time in hospital throughout my childhood and while I don't mind hospitals, needles are a very different story! After trying almost everything to try and calm myself down to have a blood test, I've finally learned that the only thing I can do is accept that I'm going to panic, and I'll let them do it while keeping that arm very still and having a total panic attack in the rest of my body it's the only thing that works for me, so I just have to warn them I will be a total baby but I'll let them do it haha! #embracethepanic lol

Hi everyone! How are you all doing? I went a couple of weeks of feeling fine and now I am currently 11.5 weeks and feeling awful again!!
2 nights ago I ate some chicken breast and nearly threw it up as I was eating it, yesterday I spent the whole entire day feeling awful, I felt sick, tummy pains, headache, dizzy!! I could barely eat, today I woke up feeling fine but as the morning is progressing I am feeling like rubbish again.
I feel sick, tired, dizzy, my heart keeps racing and I'm feeling a little bit breathless (i have asthma) do I ring my midwife or doctor or just ignore it?

Hi all. 7+6 today with DC3 and all tired and pukeyness.

louise If it would reassure you, yes I'd give someone a ring. Whoever is easier to get hold of, perhaps!
