Thought I’d make us a new thread. Went back through the last couple of pages and will tag posters below. Sorry for anyone I do not tag - nothing personal ☺️

@yvonne1988 that's the one I went for. Amazon 3 for less that a tenner

@Charly82 very normal in early pregnancy as your womb is still in your pelvis but about the size of an orange now which before it was teeny tiny. So it will push on your bladder until your womb grows out of your pelvis 😁

@Frillyfarmer thankyou for telling me both sides of something similar to what we're experiencing. And I'm so sorry for your loss, but glad to see your doing well now :) I did assume it would stick around for a while after but didn't realise for that long! I'm hoping mine are just wrong dates but Ill know for sure at next scan. Just so disappointing to think it could all be over soon xx

@Naylor19 hope the wedding went well. Try and relax now until you scan x

@Jesskir89 it was lovely thanks Jess, I was sick around 11.30pm (hormones?!) but otherwise didn't feel too bad for the majority of the day and it was a lovely distraction

Definitely planning on having a lazy day today until my scan tomorrow! How are you feeling? x

Also quick question, anyone suffer from morning sickness but not actually be vomiting just heaving? I've had this for the past few days and my stomach always feels better like it's released some of the bloating after an episode of heaving?! Does this even still count as morning sickness?

@Naylor19 - yeah, morning sickness comes in all shapes and sizes :)
I’ve been not been physically sick but have had strong aversions where I just can’t imagine eating (or I’d be sick) all the way through to feeling like I’ll be sick any second so I can’t move or do anything to heaving and no sickness.
I think it’s all pretty normal!

@ELW85 thankyou! Glad it's not just me, I guess we should be grateful it's not the full thing yet! I hate throwing up so much, I can just about deal with the heaving. My poor hubby was really thoughtful and made me breakfast yesterday and it set me off heaving after one bite! I couldn't touch the rest, which is so weird as usually I'd be fine with it! I'm hoping these are all positive signs for me that somethings going right in there!

@Naylor19 they definitely sound positive:) I'm ok thanks except I sneezed this morning and felt like that cyst on my left ovary burst! X

@Jesskir89 oh no!! That sounds horrific! If it has though it's probably better early on! Mines still causing me discomfort, but I am dreading it popping all the same x

@Naylor19 agree with the others. I haven’t actually been sick (yet!) but only 7+3 so anything could happen! I can be anything from feeling pretty okay but a bit fussy on food, to I need to lie down or something bad is gonna happen, to I need to eat now or I feel like I’ll be sick (but if you bring me anything other than the food I want bad things will happen), to that feeling seconds before you vomit when you’re just staring into the bucket (and desperately trying to ram crackers or ginger nuts down my throat). I’ve not had any heaving (yet) either.

The most annoying thing is it’s not consistent so some days will be awful and some will be manageable. So can’t plan anything as friends don’t know! Just watching my summer holidays pass from my sofa 🤦‍♀️

I’m also finding it really hard to stay hydrated enough as if I drink more than a few mouthfuls in one go I feel icky. My pee is shameful(!)

@Naylor19 unfortunately I don't think it actually popped just hurt a lot x

I brush my teeth as soon as I get up which sets me off heaving so because I have an empty stomach nothing comes up. Only odd times I have felt sick during the day.

@Jesskir89 that's sad, especially if it hurt so much last time! x

@Keyboard91 certain smells make me feel worse, and I feel like I can smell everything! I got told off for being dehydrated last time I went into hospital so I'm trying my best to drink lots! I do find it a struggle though. I also feel like I'm wasting my summer (I get the holidays due to working in a school) as I can't stomach doing things most days incase I get a bout of sickness! I'm so gassy too, and struggling to go toilet properly which isn't helping! x

@yvonne1988 have you tried a toothpaste that isn’t mint flavour? It’s made brushing much less traumatic for me!

@Naylor19 the gas is awful. I’ve got it from both ends!

Currently eating a couple of blueberries but in my head I’m irrationally eating the baby at it’s the size of a blueberry 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@keyboard91 I was like that last week with raspberrys I have them and blueberrys everyday for breakfast with a yogurt and I've gone right off it now and bought peaches and apples lol x

@Keyboard91 I do it on purpose to get me to heave and then I'm ok to start my day lol sometimes I don't even feel that sick til iv started.

Hey ladies I’ve been a little quiet the last few days as I’m struggling a little with how I’m feeling 11+1 and feeling absolutely dreadful 🙈worst I’ve felt yet constantly feeling light headed and weak, has anyone else had this please ? Keep thinking it’s where I could be light headed but I’m drinking so much and peeing so much so I don’t think it is, I think it’s just my blood pressure as at the start I passed out days before realising but it’s a little difficult with a 2 year old toddler 😩🙈😂roll on next Monday scan day 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😍

@Keyboard91 I think its one of my worst symptoms! I'm so bloated all the time, I've already gone up a whole jean size because it hurts my tummy to wear my normal ones. I feel like my bloating doesn't even go after relieving myself!

Oh no, I think that would defo put me off!! Lol

@Naylor19 No actual vomiting here either, but sometimes a nice retch likes to spring itself on me out of the blue if something turns me very suddenly! Like when my brother left a knife with loads of butter on it beside the sink and it caught me off guard 😂😂😂🤢

@Brandygirl27 sorry you're having a tough time. I've not felt that but my blood pressure is bang on. Try a few days of relaxing as that's helped me today and no bleeding today either!

@SLT90 sounds like the norm then! It seems worse in the mornings and evenings for me. And with this super smell feeding the dogs sets me off no end! Even hours after they've eaten I can sniff it out! x

@Jesskir89 I know I need to try and relax but it’s so hard with a 2 year old 😩🙈I am really suffering at the moment and I’m just hoping that at 12 weeks it does one as I have to eat really frequently otherwise I’m shaking and feel as though I’m gonna pass out, that’s brilliant to hear no bleeding resting defo seems to be the key hey x

Anyone else feel like they’re letting their family down a bit, by being so under the weather? Exhaustion and nausea are driving me up the wall, and it seems really unfair on my husband and older kids that I’m basically just a useless lump at the moment! Logically I know it’s ridiculous to feel this way - and it’s probably all the sitting around feeling horrendous that is giving me time to dwell on it but, don’t want everyone in the family to feel that this little one is already stealing me away from them!

Also, does anyone have any suggestions for how to keep the revolting taste in my mouth at bay? Nausea only eases when I eat unfortunately (even though most food is making me sick 🙄), but whatever I eat, within a few minutes the disgusting, metallic taste is back, making me ill again.

@Brandygirl27 I hope it eases soon. Make sure to drink plenty. @cantrip unfortunately I'm the only one in my house that cooks and cleans so if I don't do it no-one will so I would take advantage of it if I was you :) my 'rest day' today still included some cleaning, cooking breakfast, making dinner and then a full roast dinner later on. Honestly I'm sure your family don't mind they will want what's best for you and baby
