Thread three 🙂

My scan just came in the post for next week, will be 11+6

@MrsNT I've actually not been able to do even simple things for the last week, feel like a complete idiot. At least you've been working, mistakes happen

@MrsNT I think our hormones make us blame ourselves even more now but try to remember you are only human, and a pregnant one at that and mistakes happen. If your manager knows and continued to make you feel bad then what a t**t, if they don’t then they will feel bad when you do tell them. ♥️

@MrsNT I once broke about £4k of scientific equipment with a silly error. When complaining about that to my family, my uncle (who works for an emergency service) revealed that his team got sent to a traffic incident on the motorway once and screwed something up that meant the motorway had to be closed for an extra 2 hours at rush hour. It apparently cost millions in lost revenue (and many irate drivers!)

We've all made mistakes. You haven't killed anyone. It will be fine

Anyone else really struggling with a ridiculoudly insatiable appetite?! I literally eat breakfast, still hungry, morning snack, still hungry, lunch, still hungry, just had to have some weetsbix to top me up, STILL hungry.

I was even hungry after dinner last night. Was in bed feeling starving.

It’s irritating as I am definitely eating enough. In fact yesterday I calculated I ate more than guideline amount - 2200 calories and was STILL hungry.

Ahhh. I don’t want to put on more weight than necessary!

@CurryandSnuggle haha me! Eating weetabix as I type mines more sickness related though if I'm not constantly snacking I feel so poorly.
I feel the same as you though - I don't want to put on anymore weight!

@Unarosaes I would seek the expert guidance of your dentist. I am having second part of root canal treatment next week but I figure it’s safer to have it sorted than let it get bad. It’s starting to hurt so needs finishing.

Trust me you don’t want a dental abscess.

I’m sure baby will be fine. I asked my dentist if I would be ok for me root canal as I would be 12 weeks pregnant and he said that it’s fine at this stage of pregnancy.

So best advice I can give is consult your dentist

@destiEos So good that you’re double vaxxed already! And totally get not wanting any more side effects from boosters while you’re dealing with so many. Sorry people are hounding you about why you’re sick that’s annoying. I haven’t experienced that exactly but I’ve gone a bit quiet on social media and my friends have said they think it’s because I must be hiding a pregnancy…way to ruin my surprise guys!

@Imhereforthecake ah, that was me a couple of weeks ago 😂 annoying isn’t it, don’t fancy eating/ no appetite but feel sick if you don’t.

Now my morning sickness has gone 🤞 but I am just RIDICULOUSLY hungry. It’s just madness. How can I still be hungry 😂😂😂

@CurryandSnuggle
I'm the exact opposite at the moment! I'm really worried about losing weight! Its difficult to even force myself to eat at the minute 😭

I am constantly hungry too, so far today have had an egg mc muffin, hash brown, coffee, easy peeler, salt and vinegar crisps, 2 slices of pizza 🤦🏽‍♀️ Have been trying to have more salads and healthy stuff but am too tired to make an effort!

@Coffeepants hahaha you’re like me! Insatiable 😂

I’ve had 2 slices of fruit bread loaf, a big plum, grapes, a packet of crisps, a gregg’s sausage roll, okyos yoghurt (it’s the thick yoghurt), and 2 weetabix with semi-skimmed milk 😂🙈

@CurryandSnuggle i am the same! Mostly if i dont snack i feel sick but this week its the opposite, i cooked a lovely dinner last night, put it on a plate and didnt touch it. I was just instantly put off but still starving! Very strange

Regarding the vaccine, i personally havent had any yet. I know i shouldnt listen to the horror stories but after TTC for 3 years i didnt want anything to mess my chances up. I must add im not ignorant like i know some are, im very safe and careful wherever i go and considerate, it was just one of those 'looking after number 1' decisions at the time. I am 26 and healthy so felt i was making the right decision for me. I think after my first scan, or after pregnancy i will get the jabs but for now, never had covid and working from home im not a massive risk to society leaving the house once a week for food shopping.

I have been hungry since I was born. But pregnancy has changed me. I don't eat now, except when I force myself. And I only eat salty foods. I've lost 17lbs. I don't even think I'll have a raised BMI by my booking appointment next week. Seriously. 😅

@Wellthiswasunexpected thanks, it's so nice to have other people who know/understand ☺️

Other half just told his parents, who sounded super-happy (they live abroad, so via Zoom) while I was in the other room, in bed, getting all emotional from hearing them sound so chuffed 😭 Now we can finally start telling people!

As for food, I noticed today that there are dimples in my upper arms 😮 F*cking big old fat-armed me 🤣 I'm eating ALL the time too, despite or probably because of, the nausea.

Today's menu so far:
BREAKFAST: Bran flakes with brown sugar for breakfast
MORNING SNACK: 2 wholemeal pita breads with half a tub of tzatziki
LUNCH: 2 wholemeal toast with cheese and half a tin of sausages and baked beans

Please note the fibre and total lack of fruit and vegetables, the Morrisons man is bringing some apples and broccoli but I'm not promising to eat them. This is like a warped dieting thread 🤪

Well I can hardly believe we've actually got here but we've just had our 12 week scan!! Little baby jumping away and did NOT want to be seen, kept hiding so they couldn't take some measurements. So I have another scan booked in a week and a half which I'm pretty happy about!

I still have spotting but they couldn't see any bleeding 🤷‍♀️

Omg @Prema112 😍😍😍 I'm absolutely buzzing for you. That's such a fantastic scan picture!

Omg @Prema112 what a little beauty!!!!! Congratulations 😄

@Prema112 Amazing! My 12 week scan is on Friday. X

@Prema112 this is so exicting!! This may sound a little bit creepy, but I've been looking forward to your 12 week scan. I knew yours was one of the first ones and it makes me feel very joyful and hopeful to see some of you starting to make it to the dreaded 12 week milestone. I can't wait to see more of these coming!!

I am having a crappy day today and it's really nice reading the messages on this board (so many I can relate to) and feel a bit more accompanied during this time. I thought pregnancy would be different... I am hoping second trimester will be more fun! 🍀🍀🍀

@Prema112 😍 look at that photo! Amazing!

This was just like me in my 1st pregnancy. I ended my pregnancy 25lbs lighter. But I did have sickness/nausea throughout the 9months.

It hasn't been the same so far this time, I feel like I'm constantly eating crisps and cheesy chips 😳

I've got a bit of time between my day job and my evening job and I had such a strong need for cereal, I can't even describe it. I went and bought some from Tesco and turned up at the centre I work at to eat it - I wasn't planning to be here today so my manager just walked in to me sitting at the table eating a bowl of weetabix. Luckily she is understanding . I'm also really struggling to eat healthily and then feeling guilty about eating junk.

Soooo exciting to see a scan, looks like an actual baby!!! The 9th December can't come quick enough!!

My step son has covid symptoms - he's been sent home from school with a temp of 39. DH is under the impression the kids are still coming here this week, regardless.

Mate. No. 🙄
