I can't remember anyone else 😂 add away!! Hope this works!

Hello and welcome!

@Marshmallow1102 try not to worry to much and relax really hope it all works out fine.

I've been really sick today. Just knackered but I'm glad in a way that symptoms are back however crappy I feel.

Booked our early scan for 8+2 so I have a couple of weeks to go still which I'm a bit panicky about now. I feel like I'm jinxing.

I can not wait to start buying I'm so excited. Everything looks soooo high tech (I sound well old)

I'm not sure if it's just me or if this is happening to anyone else???
DP and I barely argue. We get on great and he's generally just a really lovely man. I adore him and I'm usually laughing majority of our evenings.
He is doing my head in. I haven't been able to stand him several times today. I have no idea why either really. He's barely doing anything wrong. I feel sooooo mean. I'm sat here now thinking of a reason to go to bed alone 😣
We usually have a very active sex life usually every day and often a few times. I CBA and I don't want to. I don't know why. Just can't be bothered at all.
Poor dp x 😩😩

@dixiedo sounds like hormones - I get really snappy with PMS and have also had that a few times through the pregnancy with both DH and parents (who we are staying with for lockdown). Other women cry loads, I get really impatient and moody. So I wouldn’t worry. And changes in sex drive are normal too. Just talk to your husband so he knows that it’s not really “you”.

@dixiedo these hormones are crazy aren't they? I've been all over the place this weekend, been struggling with a lot of anxiety! It's not like me and I've been having a few goes at my DH for not being more understanding. Bless him he has really been doing everything right but it's uncontrollable! DH suggested that we tell our best friends who have just had a baby which we did this evening! I feel so much better now, I don't think I could have gone 6 more weeks not telling anyone!

Is anyone else nervous to have sex? I'm so nervous incase I was to start bleeding... we've done it twice now but can't really enjoy as I'm paronoid, can already feel that it's different ie my cervix is up high and closed but still nervous!! Xx

Morning girls, I've woken up feeling pretty rubbish again... More so because of dp sister... We usually have a really good relationship however she is very all for herself and it's always been that way. Anyway her and dp had a disagreement over his niece about a month ago, long story short she was letting the baby see her dad who didn't live with them during lockdown but she is prone to illness and the dad wasn't following lockdown rules eg still going to see friends etc... So dp said it wasn't right anyways since then she hasn't spoke to me either... Told me a few weeks ago she was pissed off I agreed with dp so I just left it. So I'm thinking now if she's being so pathetic with me do I even bother getting her an announcement card? I've already ordered the rest of my family and his family but I think the way she is acting because she's been told something is wrong, can I even be arsed bothering... oh I also have a close family member going through chemo atm, which is so hard and she hasn't even once asked about him... What do use think? Am I just overreacting or am I right not to bother if that's how she wants to be? It's pointless asking dp cause he said don't get her one in the first place she never even told us she was pregnant 😂 long rant this morning sorry 🙈 hope everyone is feeling ok xxx

@shelly10111 yes 🙈 I've only had it twice recently too.... Dp did say he was scared to hurt baby tho so he feels the same 😂 xx

@dixiedo yes I'm so snappy 🙈 I think it's more so cause I'm working full time still from home and dp is off he's irritating me loads 🙈 xx

Morning!!

Lovely catching up on this thread this morning with my coffee.
Last weekend was a bit of a write off for me too and I'm a little angry at myself that I didn't manage anything productive - I had all these plans in my head! So I'm getting a bit annoyed with this sickly feeling! And now it's Monday and blah! I should do some yoga and I know it'll make me feel better but the prospect of that right now is blah as well! Sorry for the moaning - think I have a case of the Monday blues!

@Rnic1x awww no! I'd order the card just in case and then worst case scenario you can say you had it but if she wasn't speaking to you, didn't really have the opportunity to give it.

@Marshmallow1102 sending my love!

@Katbaby you got me craving smoothies so bad I've sent DH to get ingredients for smoothies now! 😂

@december2020 yeah I might do that, always got it then. I know it will cause more hassle not telling her but then if she's ignoring me I can't do anything about it. We are already not speaking to one of his sister's (she's only young and blocked the whole family from everything cause of an argument she had with her other brother - nothing to do with any of us haha) god families eh! In a way I'm glad he's not very close to them, I cba with all of this the whole way through it will be so stressful. Xx

@Rnic1x exactly! Then you've got it on hand incase anything changes at all or if she suddenly becomes friendly again and makes sure you're not then in the awkward position. Oh god I feel you! I get on great with my in laws but me and the SIL have a bit of a passively tense relationship. She doesn't seem to like it when anything good happens in our lives and somehow any issues are with me (rather than us) 🤷‍♀️ I don't know why! So now at family gatherings it's like this awkward smile and almost no talk. It's sad really, I think we could have got on really well but equally Ive got to live my life as well.

@Rnic1x I'm sorry you have that stress in the middle of it all, I would order one just in case and see what happens with the relationship!

@december2020 I too had so much ambition for the weekend but I guess you just have to listen to the body! I watched all but 1 of the Harry Potter films which felt like a good achievement!

@december2020 omg I feel the same, with dp family I feel like they are some what jealous of our life? Nice house good jobs always on holiday etc but we both work bloody hard for it... Seems like whenever we do anything it's always "uhh away again? Use are always away!" Well yeah I work so why shouldn't we! God knows what it is with them. My family love my dp more than me I think some days haha it's the other way around for him! We go away with my sister and brother in law on holidays and trips it's great. Xx

@SwedishAnna I will do. Ohhh a whole weekend of harry potter sounds perfect to me 😍

Morning ladies 😊
Well I slept in til 9 which was dreamy! Nips are the most sensitive today and my stomach feels like it's been abused with alcohol which it hasn't!! It's like sore? So weird.

Gonna try eat a banana straight away before any sickness kicks in.

Yey can finally say my midwife appt is this week. Roll on Thursday. Don't know why I want it to come so much its kind of like an early pregnancy milestone even though I don't get to see baby like a scan?

I will be booking my scan after Ive seen her though.

How is everyone feeling?

@december2020 smoothies are the best. Gutted hubby's at work and I'm feeling too lazy to make my own haha

@Rnic1x I would order one and remember you're the bigger person. If she's not bothered her loss at least you and DP know that it wasn't your issue and can hold your head up.
If you didn't give just her one then it's a full on feud and you don't need the negativity.
It's around these sort of times when I think you realise who's there and who's not and why should you pander to people and their drama you have more important things now!

I think after children then the phrase "pick your battles" is important (although I usually say it to myself when dealing with the kids" but it is important.
Let things slide but don't forget them. Xxxx

Thanks for the replies. I was nice to Dp went up to bed he came not long after, he had his daily sporting fix watching a boxing fight from 1994 😐 feeling a bit better today and very UNpregnant.

How did you all sleep and what do you all you eat in the morning. I'm not a morning eater but feel I might have to start xx

Morning all, sorry about your SIL troubles @Rnic1x, I suppose just try to ignore it for now and focus on keeping yourself well and stress free. Good news about your midwife appointment @Katbaby.

I had great plans to go for a run this morning and instead got actual sickness rather than just feeling nauseous. :( Hope everyone else is feeling ok.

Good morning ladies,

Had to abandon my bedroom a massive wasp has flown in 😂🙈I'm sure they are getting bigger each summer!

I did wake up feeling tired still but that gave me the kick up the butt I needed so feeling on high alert now!

I'm boiling , no nausea this morning as of yet so going to tidy up and stick a wash on while I feel up to it xx

Morning everyone!!
Does anyone stomach look and feel bloated?? I know I an overweight slightly (BMI not above 30) but my god it feels so huge and tight. I'm 6+1. Not sure if its trapped wind or because of the constipation but it's so uncomfortable. Especially at night. And the restless legs at night is horrific I feel so sorry for my DH. Anyway as this is my first if anyone can shed some light that would be great.

What's everyone's go too to combat nausea? Any tips of what you have found works??

@Nic2908 You're not the only one My sister gave me her maternity clothes, I'm already wearing the jeans! My stomach is really swollen already. My best friend was really showing at 12 weeks, feel like I'm going that way!!

@dixiedo your right, I will be the bigger person, her loss at the end of the day.
@Nic2908 my dp said last night aww look at your bump.... He hasn't a clue I'm 6+4 and I look like I have a bump I'm a size 10 normally with a flat stomach so I think the bloat has made me look like I have a bump with massive boobs 😂😂 I put a hoody on for a walk Saturday cause nobody knows and I feel like I look pregnant 🙈

So hospital just rang there not doing my scan tomorrow just my first appointment then booking my dating scan for later on this week 🤦🏻‍♀️ disappointed but then the longer I leave it the more likely Baba has grown a bit and I might actually get to see something other than a white dot 😂

Hey @Nic2908 in the same boat, any high waisted trousers and skirts I had all dig in now and feel horrible. It doesn't look obvious though, stomach is still relatively flat just those type of clothes feel bad. Living in loose joggers atm. Just be kind to yourself and wear what feels comfy if you can.
One of my friends was in maternity clothes by 8 weeks!
I've found plain crisps, tortilla chips especially work a treat and cold ginger beer ahhhh!

Plain toast, coco pops, plain crisps, full fat coke. I have been able to stomach them. Did manage some mango and veg aswell but constantly heaving at the smell of anything including the fridge and my favourite clothes softener 😩

I feel very bloated in the evenings too and feel nausea has hit this week which makes sense as I am now 6+4! @Rnic1x I can't believe you are having your first appointment already, is that through NHS?

Anyone else with a general feeling of anxiety? I typically get a bit anxious and nervous energy the days before my period but it appears now that I have it everyday! I really don't want the negative feelings to impact baby! Doesn't help the anxiety thinking like that though and not sure it is normal to be feeling like this without any real reason?

I agree with the bloated but not looking bloated comments? My stomach feels generally sore when any waistband is on it, as if I've had a heavy night with rich food and drink which I obviously haven't. Managed 2 slices of toast a banana and an apple so not doing too badly. But the thought of any other food is turning my stomach.

@Rnic1x are you getting an early dating scan because of irregular periods?

I'm loving salad, cherry tomatoes cucumber and raw peppers atm eating loads.

@SwedishAnna yeah NHS our maternity unit seems brilliant, they wanted me to have appointment last week but I had a meeting all day I needed to be in so I moved it to this week. When is yours? X
