@ejne7, unless you are expecting your family to pay for the baby, their opinion doesn't matter here! Ignore them if they say anything negative. Your partner is thrilled and that's all that matters here :)

I've not finished catching up yet. Congratulations to the newbies and just to say, a cold is an early pregnancy symptom 😱 that, chapped lips and a dry mouth are also pregnancy symptoms :)

EverythingNow · 15/12/2018 20:37

I have a really dry mouth too!

Blii · 15/12/2018 20:47

Notanotherpawpatrol A cold and chapped lips galore over here!

JenMumma · 15/12/2018 20:54

@Notanotherpawpatrol yippee a local bomb buddy 🙂

JenMumma · 15/12/2018 20:55

Bump not bomb. I'm not suggesting a local terrorist group
🤦‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🙄

Notanotherpawpatrol · 15/12/2018 20:55

chiatta · 15/12/2018 21:03

Yes, found out yesterday, due date Aug 17th 2019... first baby

JenMumma · 15/12/2018 21:03

Congrautulations @chiatta 🙂🙂👋

@KMic I am only aware of symptoms this time as I now realise they were symptoms from baby 1. My symptoms didn't kick in until about week 8/9. By week 10 I was wishing that I hadn't wished for them as my morning sickness wasn't manageable by then. My earliest symptoms was when I turned my upper body around quickly with my feet remaining in place I would feel like my tummy was having pulled muscles. I have no symptoms apart from that this time.

ScotsBaby2 · 15/12/2018 21:18

@Fae1989 I had warm baths all the way through my last pregnancy. I bought a bath/room thermometer from Amazon and made sure it was about 38 degrees and I would keep topping it up. If you get out the bath and you are pretty red or you are sweating in the bath then it is too hot. It's about you feeling like you are overheating then you will be overheating the baby too.

38 degrees is still pretty warm.

ScotsBaby2 · 15/12/2018 21:19

Oh and your first roasting hot bath post birth is THE BEST THING EVER. Well obviously not as good as welcoming a new human into the world but it's pretty close!

avacadooo · 15/12/2018 21:32

@Fae1989 lemon sherbet sound amazing right now!🤤 going to have to get some!

@KMic I wouldn't worry, my sisters a midwife and had three kids and said you normally get symptoms at 6weeks onwards and that she didn't have any until she was 10weeks with my niece! Everybody's different, so don't stress the now💕

@JenMumma I can't stop laughing at bomb buddies 😂

@Notanotherpawpatrol yeah she had a massive go at me for not supporting her yesterday via text 💁🏼‍♀️

Survived dinner with the in-laws, got a non alcoholic Heineken and hid the label (technically it's 0.5%) but my mum didn't know she was pregnant and gave birth to my brother on a hangover so I figured I'd be fine 😂

Now I'm off to lightly poach myself in a bath🛀🛀

JenMumma · 15/12/2018 21:34

LIGHTLY POACH MYSELF 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 surely that dick head midwife will only frown upon your undercooked egg Ms Avocado 🤨

canonlyhopexo · 15/12/2018 21:44

@avacadooo I'm telling on you, naughty naughty 😂😂 only reason I ever asked about baths was because I really love a hot bath with Lush bits in but I do have them piping hot. There is a much better phrase to use than poaching 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

JenMumma · 15/12/2018 21:49

@canonlyhopexo 😂😂😂 we're all just terrorists and poachers 🤷🏼‍♀️

canonlyhopexo · 15/12/2018 21:51

@JenMumma 😂😂 que the weird dreams tonight! 🍳💣

JenMumma · 15/12/2018 21:51

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 omg funny cos it's true 🍳 🥚 🛁 🔥 💣

dragonmummy17 · 15/12/2018 21:55

@KMic I'm almost 7w and still only getting very mild nausea and occasional sore boobs. The only major symptom is pain in my right hip which worries me as i got PGP quite badly next time

@Fae1989 it's mainly paperwork... you get your handheld notes, I think they check whether you have any reason for consultant care. At ours they book your scan. Weight, height, blood pressure and urine
@Blii symptoms are completely different to DS so I'm wondering if it's a girl this time

avacadooo · 15/12/2018 22:07

@canonlyhopexo I wouldn't tell on me or I'll set @JenMumma on you!!😂😂💣

I had a dream I drank a fish that looked like nemo last night, which is great for anyone who doesn't have a phobia of them 😂

JenMumma · 15/12/2018 22:14

Fear not ladies,I only bomb crazy midwives, as ya do 🙂🤷🏼‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂🍳. Glad you're alive avocado! I trust your laying on an English muffin and dousing yourself in Hollandaise sauce ?? X
Im in bed trumping like a..... ermm..... Trumpet ?? I need to muse on that further 🤔
I'm Starving but can't be bothered moving so am reading reviews on just eat and have composed a begging text to my partner to include a link of a takeaway. 🤞 x x

Notanotherpawpatrol · 15/12/2018 22:14

Avacadooo I'm glad you've blocked her now. Crazy woman.

Talking of weird dreams, I had the most horrific one the other night 😱 dd2 died in a horrific way. I couldn't get back to sleep, I was checking on her every 10 mins and waking dh to go and check on her too. I was properly shaking and crying, it took me a while to realise it wasn't real. I'd forgotten about the vivid, very real pregnancy dreams 😭😭

JenMumma · 15/12/2018 22:16

@Notanotherpawpatrol
Awwwwwww I kind of wanna come to your house and cuddle you in bed in a totally non rapey way x x 😭😖that's a shit dream

Notanotherpawpatrol · 15/12/2018 22:18

Jenmumma twice now I have sent dh to McDonald's 😳 once was at midnight, he had to visit 2 in order to find one open. The other was a much more respectable time of 9pm 😂

JenMumma · 15/12/2018 22:21

@Notanotherpawpatrol you are perfectly reasonable, sensible, fair, rational and right concerning all food requests.... around the clock !!!!! And yes you may print this off and cellotape to every mirror as yours (and his) mantra. You're welcome 😃 🍔😘👶🏼😂 🍟
