[BabyG123]

Hey ladies nearly out of room so new thread 😘

@MissHoney85 beautiful. So Amazing isn't it I was the same as you. Actually cried when they said heart beat there!!!

@nmw93 wish that was me. Wanting to co Tinie slimming world but all that helps me is carbs!

@MayBug2020 don't start me on bile 🤣 tried singing old macdonalds to my son yesterday and the pig noise made me badly gag and had to stop. 🤢

@nmw93 oh gosh that is exactly like me! Now I don’t even have to brush my teeth - I wake up and after a bit I have to gag and that’s it I am sat by the loo for a few minutes.

I was sick the other night too for the first time - not sure what is worse the bile or food! Fingers crossed it eases for us all soon xx

@MissHoney85 oh you are a lucky one :)

@BabyG123 it’s horrible isn’t it! I hope it goes at around 12 weeks because it catches you off guard. I was working at my desk the other day and half way through a call I was gagging. X

@MayBug2020 I'm sure it will soon! Between Week 6 and 9 my vomiting was awful. I was being sick all day everyday so it's definitely eased up since then. Tbh I don't mind just throwing up in the morning but do hope it settles off soon so I can get some of my appetite back. I miss so many of my favourite foods but baba doesn't want any of it! Bless, trying to keep me healthy :)

@babyg123 😂 what will be will be as they say :) baby knows what's best for us apparently!

@nmw93 I feel the same - I keep thinking about all the foods I love and I just want to fancy them again and enjoy them. At the moment every time I think of food I feel sick so trying to not think about it and just eat something to keep my energy levels up x

@MayBug2020 the only thing bean will let me eat is celery, peppers and hummus. Oh and melon. Any type of melon. I feel like I've inadvertently gone vegan because the idea of eating meat... nope, absolutely not.

The food thing is sooo bizzare I wonder why it puts us off food. Nature is a strange thing haha I would love to know the science behind it. I miss food.

@Lollipop93 I know what you mean you would think you would want move food as the baby is taking it.

@BabyG123 after messaging you I gagged and was sick in my hands - how lovely this pregnancy is haha

Everyones scans look amazing! How long between your booking appointment and getting your scan letter through? Getting impatient now 😂

I've also gone off food and lost weight.. Not been sick yet 🤞 I don't but constant nausea pretty much now and so so tired.

9+5

Just found out dh can't come with me to my scan tomorrow due to covid restrictions :(

Gutted as if it's bad news I'll really need him, and of course he's gutted he won't get to see baby moving around if all is well.

I do understand why it's necessary, not complaining at all, just a bit sad / worried about it.

Hi girls new to this forum but I've been reading for I while I'm 11 weeks 5 days today I did have a MMC earlier this year at 10 weeks and I'm terrified of it happening again. So far so good i have had light cramping today which did make me panic but im just trying to hold on until my scan on Monday I have everything crossed!

@CoalCraft that gives me hope. Do you know the cause? I've got an appointment at epu tomorrow so if it gets no worse before I will have some answers tomorrow

@Mumof4andahalf No, no cause known in my case. Both doctors I've seen have been vague ("it just happens in some pregnancies") so I'm guessing it's something that hasn't been studied much.

Everything crossed for you for tomorrow xx

I’ve just caved and booked a scan for tomorrow! I’m feeling so totally miserable with the sickness and exhaustion that I need something concrete to hold on to, part of me is so worried that I’m going through all this stress and illness for nothing. I think if I can see the heartbeat it will just focus me a bit more and remind me why I’m doing this! Just been signed off work for another week, I considered going in but I’m not sure I’d be safe! I very definitely have not lost weight, eating is the only thing that stops the nausea and my current cravings are bagels and cheese sandwiches 🙈 I’m only vomiting in the evenings now so I’m spending the days stuffing my face!

Loving everyone’s scan pictures and fingers crossed for those of you who are worried about things xxxx

@Pol96 mine was very slow arriving - in the end I rang and chased it up (I think if everyone really turned up about 11 weeks?)

So today I am officially huge. Overnight, definite bump going on. Is 13 weeks too early to show with your first? I am pretty slight, short, and sporty; suddenly I look like I inhaled a beachball. Bloat? Bump? Neither?!

@Carabu1 thank you, hopefully I'll hear from them soon(ish) then.. I want to know when to book the private scan so my oh can come and see the baby for the first time with me. Terrified of going on my own!

I'm hearing you all with the food chat- I normally love my food and cooking but have gone off everything. I can still eat ok but don't enjoy it. Didn't realise how much enjoyment I got out of food until it disappeared! Think I'm starting to feel better so hopefully not long until I'm back to normal. Can't wait until I want to enjoy a big meal again if that makes sense.

@Carabu1 oh how exciting! Can't wait until I get a little bump. I think it varies massively from woman to woman. Being shorter makes it more obvious though I've heard.

10+3

@Carabu1 I think everyone is different I am 10 weeks tomorrow and of an evening my belly def is sticking out but I am putting it down to bloat but I read you do start to show from 12 weeks so it could def be bump coming :) how exciting.

@Skyla01 I know what you mean about back to enjoying foods and larger meals. My mother in law has just dropped me and my hubby a roast dinner off for later as I just can’t face cooking at the moment so hopefully I can get some of that and enjoy it.

Is anyone else also struggling with drinking enough? I am not thirsty and if I drink too much water it makes me feel a bit sick - worried I will get dehydrated x

I've had hardly any nausea and still some weird change in food tastes. I've completely gone off my favourite pasta dishes, which were a staple, and while I can still drink a cup of tea if it's in front of me, I've lost all desire for it. Meanwhile I find myself craving fizzy drinks, which I'm normally eh on.

@MayBug2020 how nice of your mil! I've been avoiding cooking too. I can manage the eating ok most of the time but if I've tried to do the cooking no way- the smells put me off before it gets to the plate!

@pol96 Welcome on board!

I’ve not had any sickness but do feel nauseous when hungry and sometimes after eating, tends to be worse in the mornings. I’m hungry a lot every 3 hours or so I feel like I need to eat something. Smells do bother me though. Cooking has been difficult due to fatigue, after work all I want to do is lay on the sofa or go to sleep 😴

8+4

I've had my booking appointment today and midwife has changed me from 12+1 to 12+4.. I had no period in March only on 13th March I had some pinky discharge so roll on my dating scan when I actually know for sure 🙄😂
