High five for getting through another week all ☺

[Jellybabie3]

Bath, pj's and bed for me and on to week 9 tomorrow 😀

Best wishes wherever you are

Oh really Emma I might ask my GP. I know my old ones I can't take but may be she will give me something else. Consultant said I can take solpadeine, I nearly kissed her . Made myself sick also as sometimes that helps but no luck this time. Hoping 14 weeks is my lucky number!

Luna I see your chocolate hobnob & raise you a 4 finger KitKat! Mwhahaha. Dh got it from the shop last night, it's very possibly the 1st bit of food I've looked forward to & enjoyed in months. God help him if he doesn't get me one today!

19weeks on tuesday time is dragging!

I found my first pile last night. Treasure the memories....

Hi all,

Just chiming in on this post to say... I ALSO HATE SHITTY PREGNANCY. I'm 12 weeks today, and have shitty hyperemesis. On Ondansetron 8mg every 6 hours plus 2x 3mg prochlorperazine twice a day just to be able to get out of bed and wash... Was my birthday on Thursday just gone and I celebrated by lying very still in my bed trying not to throw my guts up after a severe relapse of sickness and crying. So glad that I'm not the only one who hates this 'magical' time. It truly is the worst... I've had norovirus which was a walk in the park compared to this.

Big ups to all you other pregnant-and-hating-it mums-to-be! Sure our long months of suffering will feel worth it in the end though. Xxxxx

Love this thread. Makes me feel better about thinking pregnancy is bloody awful! 36 weeks- tired, grumpy, acid reflux, vomiting, backache, headache, insomnia....I desperately don't want to go over due, I've had enough already!

Sorry for the moan!

36 weeks and I'm ready to carry out a home c-section.

No room left, very uncomfortable and feeling like death.

Had further monitoring today for reduced movement. Was half hoping for an induction to be recommended!

Argh!

34+1 here and I. Am. Huge. Seriously massive. Before Christmas, at just 24 weeks (ok, 24+6), I had a doctor - yes, a doctor - asking if I was due over Christmas. She nearly fell over when I said no, the end of March. Most of my maternity tops no longer cover my bump. My back aches if I stand for any length of time (2 mins is about my limit). Turning over in bed is a major operation. My 3-yr-old is knackering me out. I struggle to put socks, shoes and trousers on (admittedly this isn't helped by a hip issue I have). I have sciatica. And heartburn. And, after three consecutive miscarriages, I'm STILL worried that there won't be a baby at the end of this.

Pregnancy can be bloody rubbish.

Oh, I forgot the thrush that I've had since day 1 and that nothing seems to shift. That's been particularly fun.

What I especially like is how, having picked up a stinking rotten cold, I (1) can't take any decent drugs for it and (2) run a serious risk of peeing myself every time I have a coughing or sneezing fit.

Also everyone I speak to says "you must be so excited". I'm not excited at all, I know I will love this baby to bits and I will ultimately be fine - kept DD alive so far anyway - but actually I am scared shitless.

I'm 26 weeks 6 days and it has been a stressful week. Went into hospital for reduced movements and found out the baby has an irregular heartbeat. They did a scan and his heart is structurally fine and apparently this can happen and isn't too much of a cause for concern but I am still a bit terrified nethertheless. Hopefully next week will be an easier one!

MsTea I am also 34+1 and can't get rid of Thrush. The doctor will only prescribe cream and it's driving me insane.
Counting down the weeks now, desperate to get back to some sort of normality....if you can call having a newborn, a body that has been through giving birth and a fidgety toddler.
Those of you who go overdue I admire you!

Anni the doctor's given me pessaries but they only get rid of it for a few days and I got sick of going back again and again. I just hope it clears up once I've delivered.

Ouch I've also had a cold this week, which has turned into a hacking cough, which has reminded me I really, really must do my pelvic floor exercises before this year's hay fever season...

I'm 6.5 after two consecutive m/c. Found out today that my early scan appt (at 9 weeks) is going to be on the same date (8 March) as we discovered my mmc at the 12 week scan last year.

I sent dh out for chocolate. I need chocolate. It's been one of thoes crappy days, ending in me falling down the stairs. I think all is ok, landed on my back and it hurts. I need chocolate.
Sorry to hear of thoes suffering with HG, morning sickness and thrush. Fx it passes soon for you xx

So glad i started this..... i just wolfed a large dominos.....boom

5 weeks tomorrow and shitting my pants! 6th pregnancy, two dd's! Can we fast forward please? Or maybe sleep through the first trimester?

15 weeks today and have had a huge growth spurt this weekend! Feeling proper pregnant and blissful. Good luck to all those mommas towards the end of their pregnancy eeeeek xx

38 weeks today

It has been a horrible pregnancy, and I am just so truly grateful to have made it this far. Just want her safely born now. Preferably today, even.

39+2 here, had a weeks annual leave last week and my maternity leave officially started on Saturday (my work do their weeks from the weekend) I was totally ready to leave when I finished and am now feeling massive and uncomfortable. Getting exited to meet my little boy but terrified for when he arrives as I really don't feel ready, does that sound insane? (1st baby)

Catx that's not insane! I firmly believe pregnancy gets more and more uncomfortable and urgh, so by the time you hit full term you are happy to be facing labour!
Of course you are excited to meet him, you are ready for this to be over too, however your life is about to change, whatever your parenting ethos is, your life will change! You have a small person to think and worry about and things will never be just you and do again!
It's good fun though xx

Thanks notanotherpawpatrol, I'm almost willing the labour to start (been getting slight back ache and the odd cramp) just so that I can have my little boy and start life as a family of 3 (and get this waiting game of when it is going to start over with) then I thought to myself that I'm not at work now so to take each day as it comes and try and carry on as normal and enjoy the time off before life changes completely. I keep trying to imagine what he looks like at the moment and whether he'll take after me or his dad 😃

Catx this is my fifth I still don't have a clue.

I love this thread! Having a best friend who has lost two babies I would never say this in real life but - I HATE bring pregnant! I naively thought that, because I am usually fit and healthy that pregnancy would be fine. I had rosy visions of myself with glowing skin and bouncy hair going for out for a run with a neat little bump. Ha! So far I've had complete exhaustion all the way through first trimester, which basically made me incompetent at work, headaches that last days, acid reflux and sore throats that wake me up at night and this week- the joys of SPD. To top it off I can't stop eating sweet things so now I can't move and am getting fatter every day. Every time someone asks me how I'm feeling and whether I'm excited I get closer to actually telling the truth and terrifying them. But I'm almost at week 26! Counting down the days!
