Due October 2023 - thread 4

[Soda123x]

Hi all another new thread as the last one filled up fast again.
8wks3 here according to early scan. This may change at the 12 weeks scan xx

I'm also Irish🍀@JoanneV @OrionNebula @DmcinT

10 weeks today and the vomiting has started. I've started a new job and I'm still in training, i've no idea how I'm going to cope. I really want to log off sick but I haven't even told them I'm pregnant and don't want to fall behind 😥

Literally running to the bathroom every half hour to puke, head is banging and feel so weak 😭

So afraid they'd find some way to let me go if I was out sick constantly with morning sickness!

It's awful isn't it 🤢 I'm going to be like ten ton tess!

I thought I was 8+4 at my early scan but was 7+6 but I know when I ovulated so think I might catch up too. Hope so as feel like I've been pregnant forever already 😂

Anyone here do Yoga???

I’ve been doing it regularly for just over a year but since being pregnant it’s been sooo hard. I really want to keep it going but I’m not sure if the class I’m in is too intense and I should cut back?
Or if my sudden inflexibility and decreased lung capacity ma return to normal after the first trimester?

Any other Yogis struggling atm?

Nauseous mums to be - -

Does anyone find water really makes them feel 🤢? Or is it just me ? I’m so thirsty tho 😭

@NSx Im exactly the same, but any fluid is making me feel sick today. it’s like all my pregnancy symptoms wanted to hit me today. 🤢

All this talk of McMuffins is driving me crazy 🙈🤤

I’m finding chewing gum really helpful when I can’t stop eating or feeling slightly nauseous.

@Natacat I'm struggling too! I haven't told the yoga teacher yet, might next week. I feel like I'm more breathless than usual. Won't start antenatal yoga yet but think it'll be good for third trimester and birth

@Natacat I did yoga most days but I’ve done barely anything since getting pregnant with the fatigue! Hoping the second trimester gets better.

@Fifianne its horrendous - I’m ok with full fat coke 😭 if it’s freezing cold but it’s hardly healthy 🙄

@BeaKind i can stomach that for about 3 mins then the taste of mint gives me the boke 🤢😅

I’m with everyone on the breathlessness - I was KNACKERED after a brisk walk today 😮‍💨

Might be worth sugar free polos to all the nausea and sickness sufferers
I bought 2 x 4 packs and nailed them all in 2 weeks.
I've been sucking on polos to sort out my smoking habit and the weird taste I have in my mouth

Forget what I just said @NSx

@VictoriaBlossom 😂😂 what u mean?

the weird taste in mouth is horrendous it makes me gag 🙄 I’ve thought about spearmint polos to try. I don’t know if it will make me feel the same way as chewing gum and toothpaste but 😑🤢

how are u?

@NSx because you said about mint "gives you the boke"

Does "gives you the boke" means make you feel sick 😂😂 I have no idea what it means.

Ugh I'm ok. Stressing because a week ago, wiped had a tinge of pink, and today I've wiped and had pink. But it's gone away. Makes me bloody obsess!!!!

@VictoriaBlossom 😂😂😂 sorry I forgot I’m very Scottish sometimes 😂😅 yes it means makes u feel sick 😅😅😅

I’m sure it’s nothing, try not to worry. If it makes you feel any better a friend of mine had an actual red bleed, they couldn’t find where it was from though and she had a perfect little girl 💕 so I think you can bleed and for it to be ok 🤍 when’s your next scan?

I have my NIPT bloods & booking appt on Tuesday 🤞 bloody terrified lol

@Natacat I had a really religious daily yoga practice on Youtube that I've had to give up because I'm hypermobile and the relaxin has made my joints all go out of whack. I'm struggling to walk and bend over, etc. Started collagen supplaments and switched to pilates strength-building videos. Even still, since getting pregnant I haven't been able to do more than a 20 minute class at a stretch, so a full length in-person class seems unfathomable.

@NSx how exciting for nipt are you finding out your gender?
See it as a positive thing not a worry with the nipt.
Next scan is 17th april but I might book an early scan next week to check in on the bean.
Still got the pregnancy hunger. Pass me the fuckin maccers muffin

Having a bit of a panic and wondered if anyone can give me any advice?

I just ate half a burger (from gourmet burger kitchen) before realising it's pink in the middle.

Now massively panicking. Feel really anxious and cross with myself.

Is this one of the times I am being overly anxious or is this something I should speak to midwife about?

Please be gentle, I've lost all perspective on whether I'm being mad or not!

I think the risk is more that you'll get food poisoning than just the pink meat itself, and those places have high food hygene standard so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

If I ever have a panic like that then I think to myself that our ancesters had much bigger food safety risks and they made it through!

Feeling massively blue today. 10+4, felt nasuea for 5 weeks. Feel like I am going crazy with it. I'm just about getting away with it at work but don't think it's going to hold much longer. Miss going outside, cooking, doing anything. I read that it is supposed to get better after 9 weeks, is this true?? 😢

@VictoriaBlossom I’m trying to be positive but obviously I’m terrified 😂😂😂 no we aren’t finding out the gender, we want a surprise 😅🤞💕 my 12 week scan is on 19/04 but I’ll be about 13 weeks. Will just wait til then if all is good with my bloods/NIPT.
I literally just had a Chinese it was delicious but I’ll wait to see if I throw it back up 😅

@monsteramunch I had a similar scenario when I went to Wagamamas - I had a steak ramen bowl, was half way through eating it when I realised the steak was pink in the middle, I’m so used to eating it I didn’t notice it was my OH who was like what you doing eating that 😂😂😂 I was absolutely fine 🤣 so don’t worry 🤍

Just a tip from my midwife, if you are struggling with your mental health or you have any relationship issues e.g. DV, etc. You can refer yourself to the mental health support service of your area. Pregnant women get on the top of the list, so even though the waiting list is long, you will be seen much quicker. The midwife can also refer you to services offered in your area/hospital.
Pregnancy is a tough journey, make sure you take care of yourselves! 💗

@monsteramunch you may need now to have one of their chocolate milkshakes to rinse off the pink burger. Joking aside, I am sure it's fine, the story may have been different if the burger was from a corner shop, but as mentioned gbk has high food hygiene rating.

@monsteramunch cavepeople ate raw and still had babies..... that's what my mum said when I wanted to have a bite of her rare steak.
She was right, the pink meat is actually just a risk of ecoli. Raw chicken and pork's probably worse still as staphylococcus and salmonella are naaaasties.

Don't feel bad, and I hope you enjoyed your yummy burger x

@Alexandra07 @NSx @Desperado123 @VictoriaBlossom

Thank you so much for putting my mind at ease, it's a bloody minefield all this isn't it!
