@snowy1982 it's the B6 that does it if I remember correctly. When I was taking high doses to try and lengthen my luteal phase it was constantly fluorescent!

I've stopped taking pregnacare now as it was causing me to have a very upset stomach. But it definitely caused bright yellow wee when I took it too so guess its normal.

snowy1982 · 12/02/2018 21:21

Thanks, it’s good to know it’s not just me Smile

snowy1982 · 12/02/2018 21:22

@sc126 I think the pregnacare is partly responsible for my constipation problems, I was thinking of stopping them as well but increasing fibre in my diet and taking the stool softener seems to have resolved it so I didn’t bother

Thanks @Niclw xx

Hey 👋 I have a had some more brown spotting - any way this could be connected to having and internal ultrasound yesterday? X

snowy1982 · 13/02/2018 06:31

@ktn35, only I don’t know, but the fact you’ve had brown spotting before and it has come back after internal would make me think that the internal just dislodged some more old blood, especially if it is only a small amount. As usual just keep an eye on it and if it continues contact MW/GP.

I never had any after my scans but I always had more cramping the day or 2 after a scan

snowy1982 · 13/02/2018 06:31

*honestly I don’t know not only Smile

Lol I took the weight question as a serious question.
Any question is never too silly.
I wouldn't worry too much about the weight. But I can see you point about eating the not so healthy food you would think you would put on weight.
Maybe you burn calories fast lol

Our bodies are doing alot of hard work don't forget hence the ridiculous tiredness.

I'm fighting fit again after throwing up all day at work on Sunday.
My tablets run out on Thursday. Rang Dr's yesterday but no appointments and receptionist was most unhelpful. Will ring again today and if same problem with ask for call back.

Helen290 · 13/02/2018 08:19

Quick question I am 11 weeks 3 days and my nausea if anything is getting worse I am still running to the bathroom to be sick most mornings, I thought coming up to 12 weeks it would get better? is this a bad sign in the respect that I could have it through out my pregnancy? I'm so scared I'll be that 1% which suffers with in the whole way through which I really hope I'm not 🙈😫.

Ktn35 · 13/02/2018 09:25

Thanks snowy82 - I think you are right. It seems to have stopped! The scan has just sunk in and i can't stop looking at the photos!

Anyone else waking up at 5am absolutely starving? It's 9:24, I've had two breakfasts and I'm still hungry 😋 I'm like the hungry caterpillar 🐛 !!

Anyone else loosing a good lot of hair daily? Even my hairdresser commented on it. I don't think it happened in my first pregnancy.

Scoobysue10 · 13/02/2018 12:51

We are both unfortunate with the sickness.
Have you not thought about going on tablets. Mine are working really well.
I got worse about 10wks with my 2nd pregnancy. It lasted about a couple of wks.
They wouldn't give me tablets ato the time.
Dr said I should cut my tablets down in a couple of wks to see if sickness has eased.
I was fine by about 12- 13 wks last time.
Fingers crossed we both get over this sickness soon.

I second @Scoobysue10 regarding the anti sickness meds. I don't think I could work/eat/function without them at the moment

ShanC97 · 13/02/2018 15:23

Hi guys! I’m in my first trimester about 9 weeks was just wondering if it’s normal to get so angry over the smallest of things, my bath ran cold and I felt like I wanted to punch something!!! 😬

Scoobysue10 · 13/02/2018 16:10

ShanC97

I get told i'm more stroppy than normal. And I must admit I am more hot headed of late lol. I'm normally happy and so chilled. Not any more lol

Helen290 · 13/02/2018 16:42

@Scoobysue10 yeh I am hoping in the next few weeks it gets better and these food aversions go, I haven't tried anti sickness tabs yet been trying to avoid them to be honest as I wanted to try and manage it myself but it is starting to get me down.

mamaiFifi · 13/02/2018 17:53

@ShanC97 yep I am also like a bear, and very little patience it's not like me at all but it's bad when u can recognise it yourself Shock

Pregnantandfierce · 13/02/2018 19:34

Hi ladies, hope you’re all doing well. I had my booking in appointment today, the midwives were so lovely but I was a little sad because I have no partner even though I had to give info on him and is family history. Good news is that even though he’s in his fifties this won’t have a negative impact on the baby. I specifically asked that question.

Bought a tonne of fruit and have been for a long run today to try and keep my weight down.

Sorry about your continued sickness ladies - so unpleasant.

Have booked in an early pregnancy scan tomorrow, my valentines present to myself! x

niclw · 13/02/2018 19:46

@Pregnantandfierce Good luck with your scan tomorrow. Enjoy it. I'm in a similar situation as I'm doing this on my own too x

Pregnantandfierce · 13/02/2018 21:25

Thanks @Niclw - I’m really excited but a little apprehensive as I just want to make sure bean is ok. How have you found it emotionally being alone? So far I’m ok, have little bouts of sadness but overall I think I’m doing pretty well all things considered x

Helen290 · 13/02/2018 21:31

Only one more day then it's my 12 week Scan getting very nervous now just hoping everything is ok 🙏🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻.

Scoobysue10 · 13/02/2018 21:56

Helen290
I didn't want to go on tablet's either. But I just couldn't managed to keep anything down in the end. Was so dehydrated.
But yes hopefully will pass soon.
My sickness was really getting me down.

I thought your scan was this wk. How very exciting. Mines next Friday.
I have already chosen the travel system that I want. Last one I bought was 16yrs ago. Lol.
They have changed just a bit lol.

PinkyPromise77 · 13/02/2018 23:59

Congrats on all the positive scans ladies and fingers crossed for you @Pregnantandfierce.

The bright yellow pee (which I call radioactive wee 😂) is pretty normal so I wouldn’t worry.

As for me... Well here goes my days without being sick. My evening nausea is turning into sickness... ;( I was even sick once at work and again just now. Plus the constant nausea throughout the day... I thought it was supposed to start getting better when the baby placenta starts taking over... not worse lol!

Got my 12 week scan is booked as well on 9th March (I will be 13 weeks) and looks like my 20 week Scan is too, got both letters through today.
