Due October 2023 - thread 3

[Soda123x]

Hi everyone the thread seemed to fill up fast.
Here's a new one to keep us going ❤ xx

Currently 6+2 think due 23rd October #2
No major symptoms apart from tonight I have extreme restless leg syndrome and insomnia 🙈 xx

@VictoriaBlossom @Alexandra07 thank you both! It's helpful to know others feel this way.
I am busy with my toddler and have work to get done tomorrow once she's asleep too, so hopefully the day will go quickly.

Anyone else having issues regulating body temperature?

I'm boiling under the duvet but absolutely shivering out of it. Even when wearing long-sleeved pjs.

@Alexandra07 really suffering with bloating too! Had to undo my trousers at work today and walk round with a scarf covering where they were open! Was painful too. Hot water bottle helped but now awake in middle of night with more bloating 💨 I’m eating SO much though, sure that is contributing.

@PrimarilyParented thank you!

I had another nightmare last night. Every night at the moment. Last night I dreamt I could find my car to drive to my booking appointment and missed it. I woke up shouting "I CANT FIND IT" which really confused my husband. The day before I woke up smacking my face because I thought I had spiders on it. This dreams are really vivid. Anyone else?

Every time I try to get to the new posts the thread is shutting the app. Is it just me? Can someone tag me in a post if it's just me so I get an email. Not sure what's happening.

@ttcttc Test tag

@Needtobuildabridge thank you. It's still doing it. I'm baffled

@MeganC104 the vivid dreams are awful! I woke up after thinking I had rats running all over me there really scary tbh and got me into a right panic xx

@MeganC104 my dreams are also really vivid and very strange. I had some really upsetting ones a few weeks ago but generally now they’re just bizarre but so vivid.

@ttcttc im having the same issue, as soon as i scroll down on the app it kicks me out. So strange

@Hankthehonk my scan has come through for 14th too - feels like forever away. Best wishes for your scan tomorrow. We haven't decided whether to go for a private one this time yet.

Mines corrected itself!

Is it worth us starting a new thread, it's as though there's a bug in it? I can scroll down

I'm constantly hungry, feeling sick and tired. These are my main symptoms. But also have really itchy shins. Has anyone else had this or know what I can do/add into my diet to help?

Could it be you have to update the app?
Even if you start a new thread some people will continue using this one.

Mine stops working as soon as I get to the most recent scan photo!

@MeganC104 - yes! Wild dreams. I work in an obscure part of the financial system
that is 7 months into a financial crisis and every day is a near death experience for the company I run. I dream really vividly about all of the wild stuff that is happening in the industry. In particular, there is a guy who committed and enormous fraud and in my dream I often track him down at his parents house and am like "why? Why did you did you do this stupid fraud?" And he unsurprisingly gives me a some confusing and arrogant answer. It is profoundly unsatisfying.

I’m exhausted 😴 after DHs 30th last night! Also I’m just soooo hormonal at the moment I feel like I could burst into tears at any moment 🤣 can anyone relate?

Yes very tired and emotional here too @Chanteuse!

@Chanteuse I've cried 3 times this week!

@katherine123x @Koalawhala glad to know I’m not alone! The most minor issue has me sobbing at the moment ☹️

Same here with the hormones, at times feeling super angry and then really sad. Had a little sob in the kitchen this evening, DH got me some chocolate, having a munch and feeling a bit better

Glad I'm not the only one crying over next to nothing! Today I have cried at: a song I like, my sister not being able to pop over because she has the cold, a random YouTube video, my daughter proactively hugging me.

I could t figure out why I couldn't post on the last thread... then I realised it was full!

Hope you are all good!

I had my private early scan on Thursday, saw a little heartbeat so feel a lot more relaxed now! Was dated 5 days ahead so now 8+4 with EDD 17.10.23

Hopefully the NHS scan won't be too long away to get the final due date to work towards.

Starting to feel real now!

Had my booking in appt last night. Took two hours and I was completely exhausted by the end.

they wouldn’t use my new dates that I have since my private scan so everything is 6 days behind what the scan showed, which is a little annoying in terms of scans etc ongoing.

The midwife was absolutely lovely though, definitely wasn’t a negative experience, even though I cried twice in the appointment 😂🙈
