Thought it might be an idea to create a splinter group as the main one is getting massive!

Midwife telephone appt 13/10

Feeling burpy, bloated, and anxious!

So glad everything is ok @ladymary86. Cute little jelly bean xxx

Morning ladies! Foul mood today - got woken up at 4am by the delightful sound of my cat throwing up on the stairs. Have an early scan this afternoon and feeling so nervous again. Should be between 9 and 10 weeks, so hoping to see a bit more than last time at 7 weeks.

@swiftt good luck with the scan.

Yesterday was a bad day for me. Felt like I had the worst hangover without actually having any alcohol! I’m now almost 7 weeks so still fit a wee bit of time before it calms down.

Morning everyone, hope you're all doing well this weekend.

I'm trying to book a driving test and it has a following question:
^Do you have any special requirements?
disabilities or conditions, pregnancy, Welsh speaking examiner^

I'm trying to book it for February so I'll be about 22-24 weeks then... Not sure if I need to specify that I'm pregnant? 🤔 The question threw me off a bit! What do you guys think x

Oh ok later on it says to tell them "if you're heavily pregnant". I guess I'm ok then 😂 wish that was explained a bit better!

@sunnysideup3 They will defo need to know, could be to do with insurance purposes. In fact the DVLA website it’s in case you need to do an emergency stop and must be willing to do one.

How’s everyone feeling now?

I’ll be 15 weeks on Tuesday and I honestly feel like a different woman. I’m still tired at about 8ish and want bed but during the day I’ve so much energy and just want to be out and about.

Even though I’ve still got food aversions(cannot stand the smell and thought of oven cooked food) I’ve got the hunger for other things. I’ve had Indians, chippies, Chinese’s, fry ups literally every lunchtime and dinner time. So my appetite has defo come back. It’s been a rough 12 weeks so I’m really glad to be feeling better.

Thanks for the advice @Fruitloops34! Also glad to hear you're feeling so much better at 15 weeks. It gives me hope 😄 I just realised I've also been avoiding all oven cooked food, it hadn't clicked until you said you had an aversion to that too.

@Fruitloops34 I am 14 weeks now still being sick daily which is horrible but do feel a bit better in myself, we ordered pram yesterday as it's was a great Black Friday deal in mamas and papas so it's all feeling quite real! I am a chubby girl but really starting to notice the definition of my bump, we are having our gender scan on 27th Nov which is the same date we had our very 1st scan with our DD in 2013 💕💕

@sunnysideup3 I’m glad it not just me with the oven cooked stuff. It’s been a battle with my partner trying to get her to believe how boak inducing smelling the oven is.

@barbiemummy20 I got my Pram the other day as well, might be a bit early but as soon as I seen it I wanted it so that was that lol

Hey everyone. Hope you are having a good Sunday. I am nearly 14 weeks so my symptoms starting to get a bit less but still tired all the time. Think it might be the night shift though lol.

We told my partners wee one today that she is going to be a big sister and so far she seems really excited. Just waiting for the questions to come haha!

My scan was totally fine. Measuring 9 weeks, heartbeat flickering away. It’s grown so much since 7 weeks, it’s amazing to see the difference! Now I need to take a few chill pills and relax til the 12 week scan...

@Buffbeag oh the questions are fun 😂 my dd is 6 and has known for a couple of weeks but yesterday just asked how did the baby get in my belly? I said a magic bean she didn't believe me so asked Alexa who said through reproduction thankfully no further questions so far can't wait for the how does the baby come out ones 😂

@barbiemummy20 haha dearie me I shall look forward to those possible questions then as they are also 6 so whilst it's good they understand a bit more at the same time they are more inquisitive 🤣🤣
