@ItsMeantToBe I don't know if they'll do the sex. I told her on the booking appointment I planned to get the harmony anyway so didn't ask too much about it. Then my partner said why don't we just do this one and see how it goes and save £590. So 🤷‍♀️ I think we might.

My private scan last week said I had a normal nuchal, but it's not the proper Nhs one which I don't get until 13.5 weeks

Chilli heatwave Doritos
Anything chocolate, hot choc, choc spread, choc cake

I could actually devour salt and vinegar Pringles right now too

Definitely craving salty food, also just being really picky. I dont want anything I normally like, just ignored all of my prepared lunch and just stopped for a cheeseburger on my way home from work and didnt even want the bread just the burger and sauce!

I really cant wait for 12 week scan, I know I've had 2 private ones but that one will make it feel real in my head. Hopefully they will be able to tell me when it is at my booking appt Thursday I'll be 10w4d

whistlers · 19/07/2021 14:20

I can't face any of my normal go to foods. Even stuff like crumpets I'm having to chew through really slowly. Just not enjoying anything!

I don't remember it being this bad with my son, but that was 4 years ago and maybe I'm just older and more knackered in general. Yay thanks secondary infertility

ItsMeantToBe · 19/07/2021 14:22

I usually have a big sweet tooth but loving savoury stuff, especially salt and vinegar crisps! I've gone off a lot of food.

Hope2022 · 19/07/2021 14:29

I’m not craving anything in particular just want to eat everything 🙈 🐷 😂
I bought a few summer dresses 2 months ago and have no chance of getting them on now, I’m trying to convince myself it’s my boobs but I’ve got be honest with myself.. my tummy is huge 🙈🤦🏼‍♀️ Size 10 to a 14 in a matter of weeks 🙈

Winterfellismyhome · 19/07/2021 15:13

My appetite has totally gone and the thought of eating meat makes me 🤢

I’m literally eating everything and anything in sight!! I find myself snacking a lot but when it comes to meal times I can’t finish my plate… 20mins later I’m back in the snack cupboard, it’s a nightmare! I’m a bridesmaid in a couple of weeks too, I’m seriously worried I won’t fit in my dress, my friend will kill me! 😂🤞

becarefuloutthere · 19/07/2021 15:23

@Jane7891 oh no 🙈 have you told her you're pregnant?

I'm still feeling sick but only 9 weeks tomorrow so to be expected still.

Can't seem to eat big meals, went for a burger and chips at the pub yesterday and could only eat half, have it in the fridge now and will attempt it again tonight! Probs a good thing as my belly is sticking out already, I'm naturally a 14/16 anyway so god help me when I'm truly showing! 😳

I'm bridesmaid in a month, I did my measurements yesterday and my waist has gone up by ten inches 🙀 I'm only 11 weeks. I've lost weight with no appetite, I don't have my dress yet, I hope it's okay as well
glasspaw · 19/07/2021 16:06

@overtherainbo salty food for me too. I’ve eaten so many ready salted crisps in the past few weeks. Hummus and olives as well.

@Hope2022 I’ve had to buy a bunch of new clothes already too. Most of what I wear normally is quite fitted and that is just not working for me at all anymore haha. Managing to stick to size 10 but buying stretchier or oversized stuff. Think I may as well retire my jeans for the foreseeable future 😂

I also can’t bear wearing underwired bras anymore, so I’ve bought a bunch of microfibre ones.

I wasn’t expecting my body to change so quickly!

feb2022 · 19/07/2021 16:17

@Jane7891 haha I was a bridesmaid at 34 weeks pregnant with my first 😂😂 I had to have my dress altered 4 times
I found out the day after she asked me to be bridesmaid I was pregnant too 😅 she was cool with it though, she even got me a badge with Paige boy on board 😭😂

feb2022 · 19/07/2021 16:18

*page boy 😂😂

feb2022 · 19/07/2021 16:21

I'm supposed to be sorting my booking appointment out tomorrow but I received an email from my oldest boys nursery saying he has been in contact with somebody that has tested positive for covid on Friday so now I have to isolate 😭
"Freedom day my arse"

Peachi82 · 19/07/2021 16:24

I have to go to the shops every couple of days and get a box of pineapple. And I love carrots and houmous. Not so much into chocolate. Love icecream.
I'm careful with meat as I struggled with hyperemesis with my son and puking meat was the worst thing.
In February, when we lost the baby at 10 weeks, I loved everything with curry.

I'm wearing the same things since March 2020 - haha. And still wearing the maternjty/nursing bra since my son was born in 2017 (to be fair, I only stopped feeding a year ago...). Follow me for more fashion advice!
I have a bunch of maternity clothes, but all I can find is the breastfeeding friendly stuff. Such a shame as I had a few nice shirts and a nice jumper for winter. No idea where I've put it. I remember putting it all on one side after he was born but no idea where I've then stored it.

Peachi82 · 19/07/2021 16:27

Feb2022, boooh, isolation! So sorry.
I have my booking appointment tomorrow evening 5 30. My boyfriend had to swap his work days, so our son can stay with him. I've asked and I could have brought him with me, but 5 30 is the ideal time for him sitting quietly in the pram for an hour or so. Not. Haha.

Erinrose82 · 19/07/2021 16:34

So happy to hear I’m not the only one snacking! I have felt sick but not been sick and very hungry and snacking ( not meals ) a lot ! I’ve definitely expanded and I’m gutted at how quickly... surely I’m going to be a whale at this rate. The heats getting to me I’m a sweaty grumpy mess. I’ll love having a bump .. but when I feel I should! First week of summer holidays I’ve booked up my week with nice ( but fairly relaxing) things to do .. and I have hospital on Tuesday and an interview on Wednesday. DP working away asking if I could stop galavanting so the heating engineer can come ( I’d already said this week was full). Literally lost my shit. X

Erinrose82 · 19/07/2021 16:35

Cause all I wanted was a day in addenbrooks on Tuesday, wow a fun joy filled trip to have a infusion which leaves me exhausted 👌😥

choccrumpet · 19/07/2021 16:48

@Jane7891 I'm bridesmaid in 2 months and have been putting off trying the dress on again 🤣 dress was bought so alterations will probably be quite limited but the bride is being really lovely about it and doesn't mind if I end up having to get a different dress.

I'm not craving anything, just about starting to eat more food and not being put off by it.. also by bloating is SO bad, looks like I've got a proper bump at almost 9 weeks (I don't).

Jane7891 · 19/07/2021 17:37

Yeah I’ve had to tell her, it was her hen party a couple of weekends ago so I thought she’s gonna figure it out then anyway 😂 thankfully she’s been fine with it, I was measured before I found out I was pregnant & it was supposed to be being taken in, thankfully she hasn’t done it yet so we’re leaving it as is 🤦‍♀️ I’m still not convinced it’ll fit, thankfully it’s quite floaty, it’s just the top half that makes me anxious, hoping my boobs shrink back to normal 😂

CNizzle · 19/07/2021 18:22

Hi all. Sad news here I'm afraid. Little bean still only measuring 6.1mm with no heartbeat at what should be 9 weeks. I've to go back in a week's time for a.repeat nhs scan to confirm, but its not grown since Thursday (private scan) so I've been told to prepare for the worst over the next week. I'm hoping it doesn't start to pass til monday as I'm meant to be travelling down south with family for a week in Wales to scatter dad's ashes. It would be too much to bear to deal with both.
Anyway. I'm signing out for now. Hopefully won't be away from the pregnancy board too long. At least my body knows it CAN get pregnant after so long trying.
Wishing you all happy & healthy pregnancies and some beautiful babies come February ❤❤❤❤❤

Hope2022 · 19/07/2021 18:29

My winter wardrobe is definitely looser fitting than my summer! 🙈 All my shorts are fitting 😢 I just want to make it 11 more days until we have had the 12 week scan and we can tell our nearest and dearest and I can burst out of my clothes 😂😂😂😂
My tummy is definitely more bloat than anything else but I have been told the body has memory within 6 years of pregnancy so with this being a third pregnancy first 38w 2nd 12w I’m pretty sure my body has popped in readiness 🙈
I did get my bag of maternity clothes down from the loft that I used on my first but there’s not a lot of summer clothing in there.. plenty of Bras and winter stuff 😂 I’ve been looking for elastic waist shorts (that are not bum flashers of paper bag tops) but they’re not that easy to find.. so I caved and bought two pairs of maternity shorts today - first official pregnancy purchase 😂😂

Hope2022 · 19/07/2021 18:31

@CNizzle I’m so sorry!! I’m sending hugs! Be kind to yourself xxxxxx

feb2022 · 19/07/2021 18:31

@CNizzle omg I'm so sorry to hear this 😭😭

Jane7891 · 19/07/2021 18:36
