@Dinosauraddict I think it goes @Frillyfarmer @Brandygirl27 and then me.

@MunchyMunchkin hello! Ah that's good! But not good with all the yucky stuff! The 20th isn't that long away! Mine is on the 22nd! But I do have another scan next Friday! Im glad I do because today iv had a very slight cramp in lower tummy so now I'm worried of course! X

@Jampot36 how is it all going ??? X

Hi all can I join please, due 18th March. Struggling with nausea and exhaustion but haven't told family yet so feeling abit on my own. DD5 and DS2 want me to play a lot but I'm on cyclizine and it makes me so sleepy. Always hate the first trimester as its so tough feeling awful and people not understanding why

I've discovered I can stomach cold foods better than hot. I made some pasta the other day which was questionable when warm, but I had some very cold for lunch yesterday and it was wonderful! I'm having to force myself to eat though as I feel nauseous most of the time, but it's generally not too bad once I get going.

Has anyone put any weight on yet? I'm the same as I was when I started, having had a dip in the middle.

@sprite25 sorry you're feeling alone me and DH went through fertility tablets and was due to start IVF in Sept so we told our family and friends right away. Is there no-one close you feel you can tell? @h20h20everywhere I struggle with my weight so I'm still at slimming world and weirdly after a trip to Rome and having a 30th birthday plus eating what I want for 3 weeks I've only gained 2lb so I'm happy with that.
@Jampot36 any news yet hun?

@H2OH20Everywhere I find cold foods better too! I can't stand the smell of food cooking !

@sprite25 we've got the same due date! Sounds tough with the little ones and no support. It's hard explaining to little ones what's going in. My DD also asks me if I'm ill and brings me a sick bowl.

I need some inspirations for drinks. I've gone off tea and coffee. I need to make sure I'm drinking enough but having to force myself to drink water as even the idea of that s turning my stomach.

We've just been food shopping and DH said I looked unimpressed with everything.....well that's because feel sick and need a nap!

@H2OH20Everywhere I’m back to baseline weight after a little blip up.

@mummyp1g I can manage with ice cold water or don’t mind ginger cordial or ginger beer.

@barnyb not long till yours either.
I’m actually having the nipty done on the 15th so will get a scan then. Should be 10+4. Mate at work will scan me 2 days before as I found out at the nipty for my MMC and then had to pay £90 for the pleasure of the scan.

@MunchyMunchkin what's nipty? how far gone was you when u found out? I was 10 weeks so now I'm coming up to 10 weeks it's really stressful. Today I had slight crampy tummy too. So I was like 😶😶 hope tome goes quick so we can get out scans ASAP!

I'm not off much food. Was completely off chocolate. But it's coming back. I promised myself this time I wouldn't eat so many crisps. Last time in the first trimester I had a packet every morning cos it's all I could stomach. Crisps are like magic food to me. Always room for crisps. I promised I'd exercise this time too but with the odd spotting iv had I don't feel comfortable doing it yet. I'm hoping if I make it to a scan I'll do something. I miss lifting weights and I have some pregnancy pilates and yoga dvds I'm waiting to start.

I feel so tired today. Iv woke up tired and just still tired. Bit of cramps this morning too. I'm a bit nervous about going back to work tomorrow. I just want to take it easy til I get a scan.

@Jampot36 - really hope you are ok and that the scan went well this morning. I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

I'm in a similar ish position - I'm 6+2, bled heavily on Thursday evening and a little throughout Friday. No bleeding yesterday but I woke up in the early hours of this morning with another heavy bleed and cramps which lasted about 2 hours. I've spoken to my clinic and they cannot scan me until tomorrow. I'm very worried, so hard waiting and not knowing.

Hi all. Just back from hospital. Sadly its as expected. Ultrasounds showed the sac but not the baby. Its pretty much confirmed as a failing pregnancy. I have to go back Tuesday for another round of hcg tests to confirm 100% but they're pretty certain. I just have to wait to miscarry. I have codeine for pain and allowed wine tonight, if there was any hope they wouldn't allow that.

Sadly this is where i will end my journey with you guys. Thank you for being the most lovely bunch of people and i hope that every single one of you has beautiful, healthy pregnancies. XXX

So sorry to hear that, I hope you have a lot of support around you, take it easy x

@satsumasaturday you might need something that folds down into one piece rather than two. My major priority was the biggest shopping basket going.

@H2OH20Everywhere and everyone who knows I've had a bug...it's still going strong and I was sent to casualty yesterday and they've said it's gastroenteritis (I begged them not to send me in as I didn't want to spread anything). So I reckon I'm currently losing weight as what goes in is very little and comes out with a vengeance.
Husband is still away but my friend has taken dd2 away each afternoon so I can rest peruse mumsnet

Oh @Jampot36 I'm so so so sorry

@Jampot36 I’m so sorry to hear this :( please take time to grieve and look after yourself - I didn’t and regret it deeply. I really hope that, when you’re ready, you have your 🌈 baby

@FlipKat I really hope it goes okay tomorrow

@MummyP1g I’m finding that fizzy flavoured water is okay, as long as it’s cold. My preference is the peach one, and the lemon and lime one. Our fridge is full of them 😂

@barnyb we are painting the kitchen today and I’ve found I’ve had to stop for twinges. But they go. Have also had to stop through dizziness, waves of tiredness, and the occasional retch outside the back door 🤦‍♀️ Also painting in a pair of cropped leggings and a maternity bra so looking sexxxy 😂😂😂

@avocadoincident I’m sorry your still feeling so awful with your bug. Really hope it sods off soon!!!

Woop, I’m itching to have a scan to make sure all is ok!!!😩😩😩😩😩🙈after 3 misscarriages in the past it terrifies me xx

@Jampot36 I'm so sorry to hear this. Take all the time you need. I took three weeks off work when I had the same thing happen in February. Do whatever you need to do to heal from this, even if it feels selfish, it's not it's just what you need. Xxx

@Brandygirl27 will your local early pregnancy unit not offer you an early scan?

Thanks for the suggestions @MunchyMunchkin and @Keyboard91 I do miss Pepsi Max Cherry. DH is finishing off my stock of it.

@Jampot36 I am so sorry to hear this. Such sad news. I can't imagine how you must be feeling. Take time to heal. Look after yourself. I hope you have a good support network around you. Take care xx

@Jampot36 I'm so sorry. I know this feeling you have and it's horrible and feels so lonely. But your not alone. Get that wine ASAP!!!!!
Big hugs to you and your other half xxxxx

@Jampot36 - so very sorry for what you are going through. As others have said, look after yourself. Hugs xxx

@FlipKat the wait must be agonising for you. Do you have real life support?

@Jampot36 I'm so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you and your DH.
@FlipKat fingers crossed for you tomorrow how far along are you?
