@Goldilocks u literally took the words out of my mouth I was just thinking at the end of the day ur growing another human thats pretty impressive. Think your entitled to feel tired thats hard work lol x

@GoldilocksTheGraceless love the reassurance link!!! I'm at 88% chance of survival. Love that.
I just feel like shit!! Tired all the time. And I just wanna sleep 24/7 and if I'm not sleepy I'm nauseous. I've been lucky enough to have two weeks off. Then on Monday I go to Mauritius for 10days, then I'm off til 14th May. Then I'm back to work part time. So I have an easy ride but my lord have I needed it!!! 🙈

@GoldilocksTheGraceless I'm a 38DD/E depending on where I get my bras 😕 but these bras have slight padding under the boob, made from decent material and the straps are good. I actually think they are better than my Victoria secret underwired ones!
They aren't the prettiest but so far they have game me a lot of relief from wires digging in!

@Cakelaur That sounds like absolute bliss - I'm so jealous! Your right though - defo need it, sounds as if your having a hard time with tiredness.

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 28/04/2018 11:20

Ok @R7589 that sounds like a purchase I need!
@Cakelaur I am so happy for you that you have this time, teensiest bit envious 🙊 but can't wait to hear how the holiday goes!

I just had the biggest boohoo after we DTD and feel so silly!

Hope everyone else is good Smile

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 06/05/2018 20:36

Was getting a little worried as my symptoms had kinda faded since Friday. However morning sickness is back with vengeance this morning! Sad had to get off the bus on way to work as I get horrendous!

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 07/05/2018 09:52

Oh no! I hope it subsides a little for you soon. It's awful isn't it 😩 I keep thinking of the reason it's happening and just try to focus on the healthy growth that's happening!
Good luck for the rest of your day xx

@R7589 hope sickness subsides nothing worse i hate feeling sick especially if i think im going to throw up in public soo embaressing @Goldilocks glad uve been out enjoying weather hun

R7589 · 07/05/2018 16:15

@GoldilocksTheGraceless I get better at lunchtime...but with the heat in office it's making me dreadful again. I keep thinking I can eat through another 4 weeks of this as long as it goes in 2nd trimester!

Cakelaur · 07/05/2018 16:52

@GoldilocksTheGraceless @R7589 foods not even fixing mine any more!! 😭 and I keep getting motion sickness too!! Tomorrow I have a 2 hour car journey, 24hour plane and then 6 hour car journey!! 😭🤢 don't even know where to start!!!

R7589 · 07/05/2018 21:13

@Cakelaur I find that having breadsticks are just small enough to help me get over any sickness. DH also told me to sniff a fresh lemon 🤨 not sure on that one 😂
Just try keep hydrated! Are you heading off on holidays?

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 07/05/2018 23:03

Oh days, I did the lemon sniffing thing for two days on the buses in London. It did work but now the smell of lemon makes me sick!!

Melon as soon as I wake up is helping but I have had to take anti nausea medication twice now. Makes me so sleepy though!

Good luck Cake on your mega journey. It will come to an end soon and you will be back in the comfort of your own home! Xx

I'm here, and I'm 4+1!! Time seems to be dragging this week (known since Monday but wanted to get past AF expected date yesterday).

How are you all?

Cakelaur · 17/05/2018 08:01

I'm just trying to sleep through the first trimester!! Haha! I'm so tried!! And sick!! Which is so reassuring but equally I'm ready to be 2nd trimester and "glowing"

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 17/05/2018 09:05

@Englishpetal89 YAY!! Congratulations 😁😁😁 how are you feeling?
I've just gone back to work after two weeks off because my morning sickness was so bad. Starting to pick up a little bit but still extremely tired. Currently 8+3.
When's your due date? Xx

TwittleBee · 17/05/2018 12:18

Hello again ladies!

Hopefully this time I actually get to stick around on here!

Englishpetal89 we must have very close EDD? Mine is 23rd Jan!

GoldilocksTheGraceless oh bless you! didn't realise how bad your morning sickness had got Sad hope it clears up and stay away for you Flowers

Cakelaur · 17/05/2018 13:27

Yay @TwittleBee have you tested again?? I defo saw a line last night!! 🤞🏻

TwittleBee · 17/05/2018 13:42

I haven't tested again yet but managed to get some FRERs by driving into the nearest town on lunch break! Just waiting to need to pee now. AF is a day late now too so surely that is a bonus, and strangely all my horrible symptoms I've been suffering with for past 3 months have gone.... along with my constant craving for coffee (hmm.... maybe it was caffeine that was causing it and I do have IBS...? wishful thinking!)

R7589 · 17/05/2018 13:47

Welcome across ladies! Sure more will be joining us soon.

Hope your all good?

I've been off for a few weeks due to a family sickness/bereavement so eventually managing to catch up.

@GoldilocksTheGraceless sorry t hear the morning sickness is that bad! I'm 9+6 and I'm getting it really bad this week. Even eating little and often isn't working. My craving of oranges has went through the roof!

GoldilocksTheGraceless · 17/05/2018 13:56

@R7589 ooo craving for oranges is new to me... I've just eaten half a packet of ginger nuts at my desk at work, must look like I'm carbo loading or something 😂
My only cravings really have been melon pretty much all the time, but I think that's my body trying to get some calories from the sugar while still basically only having water.
Sea bands have really helped me so maybe give that a try to anyone who is struggling?
@TwittleBee welcome back into the fold my love!! Ecstatic to have you here xxx

OP posts:
R7589 · 17/05/2018 14:05

@GoldilocksTheGraceless I'm clearly craving vitamin C. Literally eating everything and anything that's orange! Aw ginger nuts! I used to love them. Ive totally went off everything that's sweet unless it's fruit. Can only be a good thing!

@TwittleBee really pleased your back across 💚

TwittleBee · 17/05/2018 14:13

R7589 sorry to read about your loss Flowers
I agree, seems your body is saying something about vitamin C requirements! Enjoy them and everything else orangey haha. YUM!

GoldilocksTheGraceless careful no one guesses there with ginger nuts out! A while back, I got quizzed by a male colleague (his wife is currently pregnant) about having a pack of ginger nuts on my desk and how I appear to be periodically eating them! Funnily enough, I went totally off ginger with DS.
Thanks for the tip about sea bands - i'll grab some!
