Midwife telephone appt 13/10

I feel the same @Fruitloops34 can barely keep my eyes open and just feel exhausted but DD is keeping me on my toes can't wait for bedtime 💤💤

TheDaydreamBelievers · 19/10/2020 14:33

I'm sure your glow is just around the corner @Fruitloops34! Will you guys create a 2nd trimester chat when it comes? Cant believe it's been weeks already!!!

@butterfly195 another shout for counting down till bedtime. Today has defo been the worst I've felt and I had a 2 hour nap this afternoon 🙈
Just lying feeling sorry for myself and hoping I don't have another 5 weeks of this 😫

Evening ladies! I have had a day on the sofa today, been so tired all day. However my nausea has been non existent today but feel like I have been eating constantly.
Got my first NHS appointment tomorrow so hoping might get my first scan appointment date 🤞

@fruitloops34 I'm 13 + 3 and I have good days and bad days still, u think its all about pacing yourself which I'm not very good at!

CardiganBlobby · 19/10/2020 19:46

Hope everything goes well @Buffbeag

Managed a good walk today, first time in a while. I have put on weight from being too tired to exercise and eating too much Sad

Hope everyone is doing ok today!

ladymary86 · 20/10/2020 08:30

@Buffbeag hope your appointment goes well today!
I've been prescribed cyclizine to try to combat the nausea - I had no idea it could even be this bad. This will be baby number 3 and I had nausea with all my pregnancies but this is a whole new level. Really hope they work!
@Fruitloops34 the tiredness is a killer too. I spend all day just wanting to get to bedtime 😴
Going to try and eat some toast and drag myself to work....

sunnysideup3 · 20/10/2020 09:06

@CardiganBlobby that's how I feel too. I'm too scared to weigh myself haha but I've also been too tired to do any exercise. I managed one 5k walk last week and I felt like I climbed a mountain.

Well ladies today’s the day.. I have my scan at 10:50 and I am soooo nervous. Wish me luck!

barbiemummy20 · 20/10/2020 09:42

I am on holiday this week and want to hit my wee ones room etc but I can not be bothered, really need to tho with Xmas coming up, wish someone would sprinkle some energy my way still feel really groggy and just wish I would be sick then could move on with my day 😂

Afternoon everyone. I just wanted to pop up a wee post to wish you all the luck with your pregnancies going forward.

We sadly had bed news today, so I will be dropping off.

Thank you for all your support.
