Due October 2023 -Thread 2

[Needtobuildabridge]

Hi all,

We finished the last thread pretty quickly! Here's a new one 😊

@BeaKind I’m only a few days ahead of you, so I reckon you’ll get the 3+ soon if not now 🤞✨✨
the constipation is the worst 😭😭😭

@NSx I was debating it but I’ve decided against it - no reason other than I’ve decided to wait til my NHS one. I will use the money I would have spent on scans in between, probably an early gender scan and a 4d one later on down the line 🥰

I've had the worst nightmares last night. Dreaming about starting to bleed, miscarrying and going to my scan today to find no heartbeat- I'm now even more nervous for the scan than before😭

You will be fine ❤️

@firstlittlefrazzleontheway
These vivid dreams really do play on our minds don't they!!
Please don't worry, you'll be fine

My vivid dream was that I got my dates wrong and we are going to Jamaica in June, which would make me 20 weeks.... I dreamt I would have been 40 weeks and lost my money for the holiday 😂

Good luck ladies with scans today!! Please report back with your good news! Can't wait to hear about it 🙏🏼💕

Vivid dreams are the worst! I think they're often a way of our brain coping with deep-seated fears so this wouldn't surprise me. It's still awful though as they can seem so real. You'll be fine @firstlittlefrazzleontheway 🍀

Having said this about deep-seated fears, today I dreamt I was being swept away by the high tide because I stayed in the beach for too long, so not sure which fear this is supposed to be playing out 😅

Thank you @katherine123x !

This sickness is killliiinnngggg mmmmeeeeee
😫
Loads of vivid dreams too
And heart burn 🔥

Thanks ladies for all the comments, I feel like I've calmed down slightly now.

I think I've just been caught off guard as the vivid dreams and nausea/vomiting has really ramped up in the last 24 hours

This keeps happening to me too, it's actually scary how real they feel!

Sickness has suddenly got so much worse - and have a cold and migraine too! Not sure how I'm going to make it into work. I never felt anywhere as bad as this with my first. Is there anything apart from paracetamol I can take?

Hello, hoping I can join this thread. I’m currently 5+5 and due 25th October.
Has anyone else been getting really bad trapped wind in the night? its always at 3am ish.
i have been taking the pregnacare tablets which i’ve heard can make people really ill. I’m also ridiculously bloated constantly. No sickness just yet though!
i’ve got my first scan on friday so hopefully there will be a heartbeat xx

Hi I'm about the same way along.
Can I ask why you take the pregnacare? I've only took folic acid and b6 but now thinking I should be taking more?
Also, why is your first scan so early? 😊 x

Ignore me. The midwife has just rang me.. she has told me what I need to be taking. They're not seeing me until I'm 10 weeks because they're so busy 😬😬

@ttcttc I used to take Perfectil multi vit before I was pregnant so I just switched across to pregnacare. I don’t think its actually necessary, I’m going to switch and just take folic acid. What else did your midwife tell you to take?
I’ve got an early scan because I went through IVF so I have an early scan with my clinic to check everything is okay but you can pay privately and have an early scan if you wish. I think you can hear the heartbeat from 6 weeks :) xxx

She told me to take folic acid which I am and vitamin d. she said pregnacare has it all in so I can get some vitamin d to take until my folic acid runs out and then get pregnacare or switch over now xx

@Chanteuse that makes total sense, im having my 8 week scan at the fetal medicine due to my history or I don’t know if I would have bothered cos there’s nothing you can change at this point anyways 😭😭

Just had my first sickness after on and off nausea for about a week! My heart goes out to all you ladies on this thread. Things can be so difficult, worrying and draining but we are all doing it for the same reason ... Can't wait for us to be sharing more stories as the weeks continue .. 💙💗

@NSx totally understand- it’ll go beautifully I’m sure 💕

What are your go to snacks/meals? Right now everything is making me sick. I've cut out fizzy drinks/fruit juices, high fat/spicy foods and nothing is helping me. I'm literally living off bread and crackers now. I'm so fed up today, I just want to cry. God I sound miserable sorry girls, just need some suggestions.

@iloveeggs I am the exact same!

im 6+4 today and have been hit with nausea over the weekend (haven’t actually been sick yet)

Nothing is appealing for me to eat other than crips, crackers and biscuits. I’m worried as i haven’t had any nutrition in me for last few days and can’t bring myself to eat anything like that as making me feel so ill. I’m taking pregnacare so hopefully that will give me what I need until I can eat proper food but has anyone got any advice or food that won’t make you feel sick but is nutritious 😂 asking a for miracle here

@Hopefulx I'm the same 6+4 today, it's got so much worse the last 1/2 days 😥

@iloveeggs awful isn’t it. Are you able to eat normal food?

@Hopefulx Mostly just bread, crackers, biscuits. I did manage some scrambled eggs with toast too. If I seem to eat anything else I just start to feel sick 😞Can't remember the last time I ate some vegetables or fruit. I might try some vegetable soup and bread to try and get some nutrients in maybe. It's so hard.

I’m not eating much at all right now, mainly plain food as I feel like everything gives me heartburn. My mum has picked up my omeprazole today but the doctor said there’s a small risk of asthma from it so now I’m a bit panicked/upset! That being said I can’t go on with the reflux/heartburn as it is, I’m literally chomping on gaviscon like they’re sweets 🙈 so hopefully I can take it for a few days/a week to calm down the acid and go from there. 😩
