@Em39ma I can't even brush my tongue, it makes me gag. But yesterday in bed I actually ate half a bag of haribo too! Not even my favorite flavor, bfs I found hidden in present drawer forgot I'd even bought found the other day

Sounds v positive for us both! I'm hoping it means I'm back on my usual healthy, tasty meals soon! No more kiddie processed crap lol

@Sair44411 I’m so sorry. Look after yourself xx

@flowersatthecastle not sure, but I’ve been getting a twitchy feeling there for the past week or so. I’m just assuming anything that isn’t major pain or bleeding is ok 😬

@climbershell I can’t brush my tongue makes me gag too. They said to try with my teeth and it does seem to work.
Though apparently it does make me look a bit special according to my mum 😂
I don’t care anymore, I just want to stop being sick and get rid of the awful taste in my mouth.

@Firstbornunicorn I called the midwife this morning (feeing very silly for bothering them but I'm glad I called). She said at this early stage the pregnancy is barely above the pelvic bone so anything that high up will be muscular and isn't a concern unless accompanied by bleeding. Hope that helps reassure you, it did me

First time Mum and looking for some advice.
My favorite band are touring next year for the first time since 2016. The gig will be early March and the baby will be barely 3 months old . It would mean all of us staying away with DH staying in with baby whilst I attend the gig.
My question is will I feel up to attending? And
Will I even want to leave the baby?
Help! Xxx

@Lindzers83 you might feel very nervous about leaving the baby. I’ve still not left my son overnight, and he’s two! But some people do manage it fine. Someone on my group with my son left her son with her parents for a week when he was about 8 or 9 months old. Everyone is different, but I think MOST people would feel a bit nervous about an overnight at 3 months.

Thanks @Firstbornunicorn it wouldn't be overnight just for the gig. I'm really lucky that my DH has a son already so I'm really confident in him. I suppose I could always sell the ticket if i need to at the time but already feel guilty so really not sure what to do x

@Lindzers83 I’d probably buy the ticket and plan to attend. If you have a good sleeper, they may not even know you’re gone

@Sair44411 so very very sorry hun, been there twice so can relate, be kind to yourself xxx

Another one here without a midwife appointment yet! I'm in NI and I'm 8+6 today, hope it hurries up! Still suffering awfully with the nausea, sickness really kicks in around 5-6pm and can barely lift my head! Poor DD wonders what is wrong with me! Nothing tastes good enough to eat and I'm forcing food down! The joys!!!

Since I found out there was 2 in there I've been sick everyday. Previously I'd been sick about 6 times in total in all the weeks.

I hope this isn't a new trend.

@Lindzers83 I haven't had a baby yet so no idea how it is in reality - but if it were me I would totally book the tickets. We're already discussing when we can leave the baby with DH's parents and how long for. But maybe I am less maternal than most ha...

@Lindzers83 I left my daughter with my mum at 2 weeks old. I went home and slept. I wouldn't have left her with my partner though at that age. She was 18 months before I was confident he would be able to do it overnight alone but I didnt have a choice that time I had to go to America for work.

I'm 9+3 today with a private scan on Friday at 10 weeks. Nausea went away for a few days but came back a bit this morning, I am having weird dreams every night also.

I would book the tickets. You can sell them if you don’t want to go nearer the time but it’s only a few hours.

Ive still only ever left my son once (he was in hospital my husband stayed one night so I could rest) but I don’t get much help with childcare so we don’t really get the chance. Often way too tired to go out once he’s in bed I’d rather slob on the sofa!

@gizmo167 I’m in NI as well and got my appointment letter at the weekend. Do you know if your midwife will be doing your scan, or a sonographer?

@Lindzers83 I'd book the tickets. I went for a night out around that time with my first and it was so nice to have a break, put on proper clothes and do something for me again. Obviously you won't know how you feel until closer to the time but I'd give yourself the option. I'd have done it plenty more times since if I wasn't for covid!!

@Firstbornunicorn aw thats great hun, I hope mine comes quickly, how far along are you?? I'm not sure to be honest, with my first it was done at the hospital but with covid etc who knows!

@gizmo167 I’m 9+1 by LMP and my scan is on 16th. My first was just done by the midwife but she didn’t really seem confident with the equipment and it made me anxious. 😬 That was with my son. I’m hoping it’s a sonographer this time around.

@Firstbornunicorn with my first (8 years ago!) my GP did a scan too, am sort of hoping they do some sort of scan just so I can see there is an actual baby in there! After 2 mc's its a constant worry!

@gizmo167 I definitely got a scan at my booking in appointment last time, and my son is only two so it probably won’t have changed that much. I’m in Antrim though, and I think it’s the most backward trust.

Has anyone's nausea disappeared? Had a private scan Friday (8+5-all fine).
I've been crippled with sickness the last 3 weeks but today (9+1) feeling slightly less ill? I don't know if I should be worried I feel less sick, or embrace it 😂

Thanks for the new thread.

I’m so sorry to hear your news Sair I’ve been there too, sending so much love ❤️

I’m 9+4 today with the biggest twin, smaller twin will be 9w. I have spotted every day since I found out I was pregnant, then had a big bleed but 2 scans later both babies were still there. My anxiety is through the roof, it’s exhausting worrying all the time. Yesterday and today so far I’ve had no spotting, good right? Except that it’s got me totally worried as last time I thought it had stopped I had a big bleed right after. I’m also concerned that it’s stopped because my hormones are decreasing. Honestly it’s crazy I’m worried that I am spotting, and worried that I’m not spotting. I can’t win! Pregnancy after loss is hard!!!

My next scan is this Friday and I’m keeping everything crossed that everything will be ok, but I’m also terrified it won’t be. Next scan after that will be my dating scan on the 11th June which seems ages away.

Symptoms are still going strong, I find that I am more nauseous in the evening when I’m tired, mornings aren’t really too bad so long as I eat. Tiredness is unreal and I feel so lazy, it’s a real effort to do anything at all.

I have no idea how I missed this even though I was tagged?!

Thanks for new thread, just Gona read everyone's updates.

I'm 13 weeks today. Have been feeling pretty good for a few weeks now but last night I felt soooo ill! Dunno what that's about but feel better today :)

I too am so sorry to read your update @Sair44411. I'm so sorry for you. I hope you have lots of support xx
