👶 Due November 2022 - part II 🎆

[Cheetocat]

The first thread got to 40 pages. 😊 If anyone can find the list of due dates please post it.

I'm 7 weeks today 🎉 this was my first milestone to get to as my previous MC was at 6 weeks and also the MC risk dramatically decreases at 7 - next stop 12 weeks 😁🤞

I've got a letter with an appointment for the 14th where they'll test for chromosomal abnormalities, I believe there'll be an ultrasound but I have no idea how they actually perform the test. I haven't scheduled my bloods yet, I think they're supposed to be done before that, gonna go to a clinic tomorrow to either get them done or schedule an appointment. (I'm in Portugal btw)

Midwife put me at 10 weeks today - boy I’ve struggled these past few days 😴 🤤 😢

@tigger2022 it's horrible isn't it. If it was people I was super close with I'd probably tell them, but this is mainly my boss who will get carried away with himself and probably not keep his mouth shut and our building receptionist who is a busy body and the last person in the world I want to tell. It's so nice having this little community to share with.

Good luck with your appointment this afternoon! I have mine monday and quite excited. I think it might help make it all feel a bit more real.

I'm ravenously hungry especially in the mornings. Anyone else. On Sunday I felt kind of dizzy hungry and slightly sick before lunch and wanted to avoid that. I'm very lucky to have not felt sick.

Yesterday morning at 6am I had a peice of toast with Marmite and a banana. At work from 8-12 when I was less busy I snacked on on apple, a packet of crisps, 2 busicuits and a fruit and nut bar. Then at 13:30 I had a normal portion of chicken noodles, a salad and chocolate pudding. In the afternoon (I was too busy to constantly snack) I started dreaming of those little feta stuffed peppers.

This morning, I'm at home. I woke up hungry but didn't get up, my DH did to walk the dog. My DD called and was being, cuddly and mopy and slow to get up. After what felt like too long I had 2 wheatabix and a banana. at home and At 10 I had 3 pancakes with sausages then Nutella. Now I'm having soup and am loving the bread a butter.

I have started eating more dried fruit to help with constipation so I think that's why I'm so hungry as I have room now.

I've been weighing myself weekly since before pregnant and not yet put on any weight. I think I will have done when I weigh myself Thursday.

And I responded to a voicemail to get me in for a booking appointment and they said someone will call back, so I'm waiting for them at. Maybe some stress eating.

Half the time I feel too full all day but other times I'm starving, can't stop thinking about food today, I saw people talking about orange juice in the thread about cravings and I'm desperate for it, might have to pop out to the shop.

Im sending my best wishes to you.

@FlowerJ @DizzySquirrel90 @Casper94 🤞🏻💕

@bramblecrumble21 I know exactly what you mean about the hunger and I seem to have out of 4 pounds already in the past 3 weeks 😭 I've brought a load of fruit and veg sticks to work today to try and keep me going!

@Ladymama12 I know what you mean! Although he's still in shock about actually having a baby, my husband has been very supportive and understanding of my symptoms but I don't know how he hasn't just told me to stop mentioning I feel sick for just 5 minutes - I bore myself with it [laugh]

So I had my first midwife appointment today. It was such an awful experience 😭😭😭 she was so judgemental 😭😭😭😭 I just want to lay down and cry

What?! That is so uncalled for, I'm sorry.

I wish I could relate to the hunger, feel like I’m wasting away

@tigger2022 that's so out of order. Hope that's not the midwife your stuck with.

No-one called back about my booking appointment today. I called them once this morning following a missed call. So I don't know. It feels onimous, like the maternity service is overloaded. And I'll get another call like yesterday morning asking if I can go in that day when they have a cancellation. A post lockdown baby boom?

@tigger2022 oh no! How were they judgemental? So sorry to hear you had that experience

@LS1983 so sorry to hear you have no answers, I hope the week goes quickly for you and hope next week brings you good news

I’m feeling nauseous today. I don’t really feel like eating but when I do my nausea disappears and as soon as I stop eating it starts again. My husband told me to keep eating then lol but I would be the size of a house

@tigger2022 sorry you've had a bad experience, sending hugs. I would tell her how she has made you feel and see if she apologises, if not then ask to be moved to someone else. You need to feel comfortable with your midwife, not dreading seeing her!

Thank you 🙏 🤞🏻@sarahj878 @Ladymama12

Anyone showing a bit yet?? I normally have a fairly flat tummy and I'm starting to feel a "pouch" in my lower tummy, where my bladder is! To be fair it could also be the ridiculous amounts of food I am eating though

I have a little bump but it's definitely bloat and not baby for me. I'm at least 70% bloat at this point

@sarahj878 that's exactly how I've been feeling since week 5.. I have just had to keep on eating its awful. The strange thing is you neve know when your full either! 😖
@Cocobeau i think its because maybe were limited to the amount of people we can tell so we have to keep telling the same person haha. Only 3 people know im pregnant lol im ten weeks today and although it's not as bad as week 5 its still lurking.
@tigger2022 That's really sad you felt like that. I agree you should mention something to her, you want to be able to feel relaxed and supported.

@GabsK92 yeah I can! I've taken a pic first thing in the morning when 7w, 8w and 9w and there's definitely a little fullness in comparison. Nothing really obvious. I've weighed myself too and I've only put on 1lb so can't really be that.
Cute to be seeing these little changes
