Due June 2022 (thread four)

[PeeAche]

Well, aren't we a chatty lot?

@ALHCTPS it's the worst. Especially combined with nausea! Praying all is ok as I do not want to go through that again in a hurry.

@caz198917 yes please do. I have a midwife appt in a couple of weeks so hoping I can ask her more questions then! Annoyingly my OH couldn't make todays appt and hes thought of lots of questions to ask!
My memory was that I was fully pushing for 1hr but my notes say nearly 3 hours 🤷🏻‍♀️ and then I got a temperature and baby was slightly breech so they decided to take me to theatre.

I'm so sorry for being quiet for quite a while. I've been in a bad mood this week.. I'll see if it continues, but it started with reading a horrific article on the BBC news, it made me cry and I've not been myself since (please don't read the news if you are sensitive). Then, and I know it doesn't sound like much but I'm just super emotional this week, I got told I'd done something wrong at work. I haven't got anything wrong in like 2 years and I pride myself on my expertise, so it's knocked my confidence a bit and I've felt a bit crappy. On top of that, we've had a large unexpected bill which has freaked me out. And christmas deliveries are getting messed up left right and centre.

Anyway, not pregnancy-related at all.. well it kind of is because I'm so emotional and not feeling so happy this week.

I'm hoping it's just fleeting. I will avoid the BBC news and try to be positive about my own life for the time being too.

I think it's not helped by feeling bloated, full, acid refluxy, burpy and nauseous most of the time. I'm 14 weeks tomorrow and I thought things would get better. Starting to think I'm going to feel this way the whole pregnancy sigh.

Hope you guys are doing good and when I get some mental energy, I will catch up on the last 10 pages I've missed. Xxx

Oh and to top things off, my friend has had to have a scan done for an unexplained mass on her ovaries. I'm really worried about her.

So sorry for the negativity. I just needed to get it all out!!!

40 pages on this thread already. We are on a roll

I just typed a whole message and it disappeared 😫

Ah well! I’ll try again - sorry you’re feeling crappy @CurryandSnuggle - there’s so much going on right now I think avoiding news / negativity is probably a good call. I hope your friend is okay.

@DaimDillyDoo I totally empathise! I’ve been in so much discomfort with constipation. I had to take laxatives a lot but have stepped down to probiotics which are really helping. Will attach a pic in a separate post because last time it deleted my message! I hope you get some relief.

My husband leaves for at least 6 months tomorrow. So far I think I’m doing okay, all things considered… might change my mind by the weekend 😥

@DaimDillyDoo not sure if these are available in the U.K. but sure there’s something similar

@MrsNT I am quite literally on a roll. My belly has well and truly popped.

@PleaseSendNoodles is he forces?

If I lie very still on my back, I can feel occasional pops, like bubbles, under my belly. Sort of like when a fart makes it's way all the way to your butt and then you force it back up and in. But inside my tum.

Am I dreaming?

I'm exactly 11w.

It's probably wind. I am comparing it to a fart, after all.

I was searching for #duejune2022 on insta and came across lots of posts .havent followed anyone yet .

@PeeAche oooh that sounds exciting! I have no idea what you’re supposed to feel when but I’d go with it!

And yeah - he is. Which is why we’re abroad and I really like it here so shouldn’t complain!

Does anyone have any tips on how to eat more frequently??? My apetite has been gone for weeks now and im afraid i ament getting enough nutrition, im 12+4, Its draining because im starving but everytime i try to eat it just comes back up, any advice or tips are appreciated lol

I've been working 12h shifts then straight to bed so have missed out on everything the past couple days. There's a lot to catch up on!!

Morning all; what does everyone use for heartburn? I think its heartburn anyway, feels like burning just below my throat and mostly at night! Its so frustrating, i have to drink water to make it go away but then i end up needing a wee 10 times a night!

@3yearstrying No heartburn here, but I have been peeing at night way more than usual. Before being pregnant most nights I went the whole night without getting up for a wee. Now I get up to wee around 3 to 4 times a night.

Gaviscon chewable tablets for now - I'm sure I'll get to the drinking the bottle stage 😂

@Turniptracker I love the long leg, mine went so stretchy and long and it was hilarious 😂

Hey @jennixxx if you can't keep anything down, it may be HG and your GP can prescribe something to help.

I find that salting things helps. And never drink while eating.

Some of my favourites are salted Yorkshire puddings and cream crackers, with a smear of Lurpak and sprinkling of salt. I eat them very slowly and with breaks between each cracker / pudding.

Wait at least 30 mins before drinking. And I take all my drinks from a shot glass, to prevent me from downing it all in one go. As soon as I lift a glass to my lips, I guzzle and then I vomit immediately.

I know this sounds insane but I have been very poorly with this pregnancy and it's just been about surviving.

First scan was a success today! Measuring a whopping 2.5 weeks ahead - now 13 weeks!

Wow @PurpleMoon12 that’s amazing, 2.5 weeks further along than you thought!!!

@jennixxx little and often, slowly. Just eat even if you don’t fancy it, your body will thank you for it xx

@PurpleMoon12 what does that move your edd to. I on the other hand am measuring about right 😞. So a bit sad about that. Was hoping for an earlier due date

Congrats @purplemoon12 - great shot, too! Must be nice to magically skip a few weeks... :)

@Clomid1 9th June! It all feels very real now!
