Thought it was easier to start a new thread as lots of messages on that one? Hope that's ok?

Hey!
Yea I'm starting to feel bloated too. I've started eating healthier. Have lost 4 lbs. not that I've overly been trying to. But just think it's where I've been more aware of what I'm eating. I'm not actively tying to lose weight but I have a high BMI so every little will help!

Yay to your private scan. You get to see your bubba sooner than 12 weeks

I have my 12 week scan two weeks today!!!

I'm so excited but also scared!! SmileBlushConfused xxx

Glad I am not the only one who's bmi is high @bella5757 I will be happy even if I lose half a stone, like you say every little helps.
I know, hubby wanted to go for an earlier one at 6 weeks but I want to wait til 8 weeks and have a normal abdominal scan.

I think it will finally sink it when I see little bean on the screen as I still wake in the morning and realise I am pregnant all over again as it still doesn't seem real, apart from the frequent urinating and cramps lol xx

Bella5757 · 04/03/2019 21:22

@Louise392 yes def. a stone and a half is a lot to lose Hun! Be careful not to over do it! Though saying that I could probably lose that much too.
I have just been sick! Had spaghetti for dinner then baby clearly decides they don't like it so up and out it Came! Yuck! It's only the second time I've actually been sick. Other than that I've just dry heaved.

Yea it's good to wait for 8 weeks before scan. Though I did go for a 6 weeks scan and they did an internal hobby! BlushBlush was fine though and I got to see my squiggle and his or her heart beat!

But there will be more for you to see at 8 weeks xxxxx

Louise392 · 04/03/2019 21:29

Oh not 1 and a half, just half (7lbs) lol I have read that it's the first trimester is the best time to lose weight as the baby doesn't rely on it as much as in the 2nd and 3rd.

Oh dear! I am totally off chocolate and sweet stuff which is usual for me as I have a major sweet tooth and never turn down chocolate or Pepsi but just don't want them at the min which is a good thing.

Oh how did you find an internal scan? I'm just thinking I'll be getting a lot of prodding and poking over the next 9 month's as it is without having that too lol. Xx

Bella5757 · 05/03/2019 02:15

The scan was ok. I suppose I have to get used to people looking and prodding down there haha

Mine wasn't out of choice though. I had some bleeding at the start so mine was to check all was well which thank goodness it was xxx

Hey guys, how are you all? I’m so sick still and bloated too. I look 6 months pregnant by the end of the day. I wish I could eat healthily, the only thing that helps is chips and bread! Really hoping I can get into healthy eating when sickness passes.

Can’t wait for 12 weeks now. I desperately want to wear my ‘baby on board ‘ badge and get a seat on the tube! It’s killing me!

When is your scan Louise? Xx

Bella5757 · 06/03/2019 19:18

@HayzCo hey Hun
Oh that's awful I'm sorry you're so sick.

I've been heaving daily but only been sick on two occasions and that was bad enough. You must be feeling so drained. You poor thing. Have you tried ginger etc as that's meant to help?

I'm so tired! Always tired and a little forgetful the last couple of days. Not sure if baby brain kicks in this early haha

When is your 12 week Hun? Xxxx

OP posts:
HayzCo · 08/03/2019 08:12

Morning! Mine is 21 March, when is yours again? I’ve woken up feeling fine this morning, for first time in a week or so. Even had a cup of tea! It’s ridiculous, soon as I feel ounce better I worry something is wrong.

I’m with you on the tiredness, my poor husband hasn’t had company past 8pm for weeks haha!

Any good weekend plans? Xx

Louise392 · 08/03/2019 10:15

Hi @hayzco I am paying for a private one at 8 weeks on 20th March. Got midwife coming in a min to do bloods and have a chat :(

Bella5757 · 08/03/2019 10:33

@HayzCo hey Hun

Mine is 18th we are so close together

Glad you're feeling a little better

Roll on scans xxxx

Louise392 · 08/03/2019 12:29

Good Thanks @Bella5757 Just had the midwife here to take bloods, not too bad.

Bella5757 · 08/03/2019 16:06

Also still dry heaving loads!!
But just thankful not sick xxxx

OP posts:
Louise392 · 08/03/2019 18:05

@bella5757 I know what you mean, the heaving hurts my stomach at times, its not even morning sickness it's all day, hope it doesn't last long. Xx

Bella5757 · 09/03/2019 09:05

@HayzCo @Bella5757 @Louise392

Hi all - sorry been radio silent - been flying up and down to London to see my Nan.
She's ok - no worse but no better.

I'm feeling remarkably ok - which I'm worried about - but scan next week so just gotta hope all ok :)
Roll on next Friday!!!

Can't wait to actually tell people!

Tired as norm and bloated and fat! Not managed to lose the weight I wanted - gotta stop carb loading!!

Xxx

Bella5757 · 12/03/2019 17:03

@LaurenSl lovely to hear from you. Sorry you've been so busy back and forth with your nan Hun. Sending lots of love.

I cannot believe how close our scans are getting!!! So exciting!!!

I'm so so tired I was sick again last night

Think it's when my portions are too big. Feel bloated
But not sure if it's bloated or I'm starting to show. According to my period dates in 12 weeks today. According to my dates I'll be 12 weeks on Sunday. So only 5 days diff but they say you can start to show from then. I've actually lost a bit of weight since starting only 4.5 pounds but every little helps I guess. Not quite sure how I've lost it as I've been wanting junk food over healthy food.
Oh well can't complain!

@Louise392 @HayzCo
How are you? Xxx

@foreverthe2ww2 hey Hun. Just wanted you to know I've been thinking about you. Hope you're ok xxx

Bella5757 · 15/03/2019 18:25

How quickly has it gone??

Hey lovelies, how are you all doing? Been so MIA because I have been so horrendous. Not much life apart from work and sleep. Also been so emotional this week. I cried because so,done at work told me they were leaving, I don’t even know them that well! Just had a rant at my husband for taking so long at the shop and realised I was being unreasonable and blubbed for that! Hormones and moving house next week, which is great but stressful, so think it’s that. Reminded me to come on here and share my woes with people who understand!

How’s your nan doing Lauren?

Very excited we all get to see babies next week! Just the weekend to go Bella! Nervous about mine but so glad I only have less than week to wait now. My appointment letter says it will be two hours, I’m surprised but always glad for more tests and time with the people who know what is going on!

Are you guys announcing news on social media at all? I have lots of family I only keep in touch with on Facebook. Might wait until a bump happens though and the post a photo of me at some point so it’s obvious!

Bella5757 · 16/03/2019 21:51

Hey @HayzCo lovely to hear from you.
Your not alone. I've been sick a lot this week. 5 days out of 7 I've thrown up at least once. I also cried the other night because I had a headache and my fiancé said he'd cancelled his plans to stay home and be with me. I sobbed at such a cute gesture. Then I cried because I didn't want him to leave the bedroom. So he sat on the bed until I fell asleep. I woke up an hour later and get silly for crying haha. Bloody hormones.

Am so excited for us all with scans coming up. I've also been told it's about 2 hour slot.

We are leaving the hospital to tell my dad. Mum already knows. Then the in-laws. Then my brother wife and kids. Tuesday we are visiting a couple of aunts to tell them.
Weds sending out pics and text to family and friends far away.

Not posting non social media immediately. But def will after a few more weeks xxxxxx

OP posts:
HayzCo · 17/03/2019 08:53

What a week ahead! We have told both parents and siblings. Looking forward to telling friends and wider family. I will wait a while on social media too, if at all.

Sounds like we are definitely in the same boat then! I was so sick last night. Soon as I’d thrown up I was starving. Such a silly old time!

First week not dreading a Monday at work, just desperately counting down the days until see the baby bear!
