Due October 2022 thread #2 ... the first trimester continues!

[BecLJ]

Hi all,

Starting thread #2 as our first is nearly full amazingly!

We also have a private Facebook group which @curlywurly3 has kindly set up. So hopefully see you there too

Here's to the nausea, reassurance scans and long waits of the first trimester!

Sorry ladies but need to get it out there, is anyone else suddenly ridiculously horny ?? Honestly it's all I can think about atm 😆 seems to have come out of nowhere ! I haven't had sex yet as I've been scared of starting any bleeding or anything but not sure I can hold off any longer the way things are going

@thunderonlyhappenswhenits Iv been the opposite!! OH is wanting to dtd every other morning when he wakes up and I’m like ughhh again already!! I’m really not in the mood at all lol but even bleeding after sex yes it’s scary ti see but it’s usually harmless as Iv bled a lot after sex not recently but earlier on I did. I’d definitely go for it if your feeling up to it!!

This happened to me for a couple of days...unfortunately kids were around and I was too tired after work so couldn't make the most of it 😆 Did dtd a few days later and no bleeding so all good. I'm waiting for that 2nd trimester energy to kick in but not feeling it yet, that would help!

Honestly no. That usually starts later for me and lasts the whole second trimester 🤣 Right now Im still struggling with sickness. Had my scan yesterday and they put me back two weeks! 😫 So disappointed as I really wanted to be out of the first trimester and especially sickness. But at least I get to see baby again as I have to have another scan. One thing that's really driving me mad though is bloating. I swear I can eat one raisin and I look 8 months along already. It's so so uncomfortable! Anyone found a solution to this?

Welcome @WildePozy I'm having my second too, my youngest is 16 months and will be just short of 2 when his sibling is born. I'm due 17th October so 2 days after you - though I was 10 days early with my first so think this one probably will make an early show too

I'm feeling so exhausted today and really crampy.

I felt awful yes @Pregnantpolly I had a headache from hell it was the worst I ended up falling asleep for a few hours and woke up sweating and the headache was still there!! Then my silly sciatica started and my lower back was aching and all down my leg it was dreadful I was glad when bedtime came around! How many weeks are you? I’m 15

Hi, hoping it is okay to join you all! I have been reading through, but too scared to join after 2 previous m/c. I wanted to wait until after my nhs scan to join.
I am currently 12+5 and due on the 22nd October currently.
This will be our first child, super excited but still really nervous about things.
Been really tired and bloated and in love with freeze pops at the moment!
How is everyone feeling?

I've been feeling rubbish today. I'm 13+4, I've been really tired and this afternoon/evening I've been feeling dizzy and had an awful headache..... now I just need to bath my 16 month old and get him to bed!

@Pinktruffle Ah we are due very close! Though I was quite the opposite.. 15 days ‘late’ with my first. Really hoping it’s not the case with his bub.

I’ve been feeling awful today too, been sick all afternoon so looks like I didn’t escape the norovirus bug from the weekend.

Welcome to all the new joiners! Hope your journey so far has been well!

@thunderonlyhappenswhenits hahah I can’t say I feel the same but you should be safe to DTD unless you’re advised not to. Can always try it solo if you’re too worried with your partner?

Had my 12 week scan today, everything looks good and it was moving around nicely!! They said my placenta is right at the front which means I won't be able to feel movements until 20 ish weeks which is a bit of a shame! Also explains why my stomach has a definite bump to it already.

@ploopypleepy Iv had a placenta at the front before and it did cushion the kicks but I still felt them from around 17 / 18 weeks. I too have a bump bave from about 9 weeks just a little hard lump at the very bottom of my tummy. I’m 15/16 weeks now and it’s getting bigger

Is anyone having awful dreams?? I dreamt my partner was having an affair with someone at work even though there are no women at his work lol he ran off with her and ignored all my calls and texts then sent me a video of the two of them together saying he has left me for her!! I woke up in such a foul mood ughhh. It seamed to vivid and real! Is anyone else having vivid dreams?

@Nikki037297 the vivid dreams are so scarily real, I haven’t had one in a few weeks but I do remember how it felt. I woke up screaming because of how real it felt.
I’m sure your partner probably would have just laughed at the dream you had, doubt he’s planning to run

@Nikki037297 I have had a few vivid dreams. The best one was where I woke up convinced for a few seconds that we had acquired 3 extra dogs. I remember thinking how am I going to walk 5 dogs and push a pram!

@Nikki037297 vivid dreams here also. I’ve dreamt my partner hated me, was pulling me by hair etc felt very real! He’s had affairs, I’ve had vivid sex dreams that get quite steamy but the most scary one was my baby was born early but fully formed, it had a full head of hair, full set of teeth, could crawl and talk and it was mean! This felt real, took my a while to realise I’d been dreaming once I woke 🤣

@Samthenanny omg that’s insane haha!!!
I’m pleased I’m not the only one with crazy dreams.

Is anyone else getting headaches every day? Tbey start about mid afternoon and linger all day. I’m so tried also

Yes to dreams, weirdest one being at a party refusing to smoke or drink knowing full well I'm expecting but 2min later there's drugs around which I happily accept!? Never done any sort of drugs in my life btw!!
@nikki037 Have now also noticed minor headaches in the evening and the tiredness truly kicked in today. Hasn't been too bad but was shattered today 😬

@Kirsike what an odd dream lol. My headache started when I sat outside in the sun for an hour to relax. It’s came and went since so I’d say Iv had it a good 7 hours now

I had a really vivid one the other night that I was bleeding and thought I was having a MC so I went to the EPU and everyone was really unhelpful, and they gave me a student nurse to try and scan me who was useless, and then the fire alarm went off so everyone evacuated and I got no answers. Honestly it was vile!

I'm back in the midst of pregnancy nerves again, I get like this between scans thinking something must have gone wrong in the meantime. I'm having a 16 week gender scan on Thursday so at least that will break up the time I have to wait until my 20 week NHS scan. I wish I could just enjoy being pregnant but I just feel so worried all the time!

@Nikki037297 slight headaches here, not sure if it's pregnancy related or to do with an eye pressure issues I have.

I thought the sore boobs had stopped now, it'd been relentless since just after conception, stopped couple weeks back and now back with a vengeance! My nipples are usually flat but now very sore and rock hard, could cut through anything.

Hopefully I'm good for my scan Tuesday, finally got a negative covid test after over a week being positive!

Hahaa I have to tell you about my vivid dream.... I went to my 16 week midwife appointment. Got into the room only to find my midwife was none other than Lenny Henry. I woke up after he examined me and did my blood pressure etc laughing my head off xx

@Bridgey8 that’s actually tickled me hahaha forgot all about Lenny Henry

@Nikki037297 totally agree with your anxiety and wish I could let go.
