Ugh. I woke up about an hour ago and can’t get back to sleep 🙄

VictoriaBlossom · 26/03/2023 07:44

@Saturnsmoon I basically did what you did. Poured a massive one, snook into the loo. Kept the ice pored the drink and put water in the glass. Although I struggle drinking tap water cos I can taste the chemicals but I just don't want the booze.
MIL said about us being together 4 years and she said about time we had a grandchild (she was pissed) so I told her to go and give her frigid son a talk about the birds and the bees because we never do what lovers do.
Threw her right off the scent 😂😂😂😂

@Smiffette how did they check about whether you needed the cervical stitch or not?

I’ve had two LLETZ procedures in the past and at the second one the doctor said if I had further pregnancies I’d probably need a stitch. Just been looking into it and scared the bejesus out of myself 😳

Smiffette · 26/03/2023 10:56

@overgrowngrass I mentioned it at my booking appointment so they refer you to a consultant, he looked at my notes and said I should have a scan, internal, to measure it. It was only just on the ok margin so I'm worried this time it may have changed!

I can't remember at what point they would have put the stitch in but I do remember them saying it would be taken out at 37 weeks

Chanteuse · 26/03/2023 13:36

I’m 11+6 today and thought my nausea was gone. Still had other symptoms but no nausea - until just now in ASDA 🤢 I felt like I could smell everything and I was sweating, we got picked for a QA on the scan and go whilst I stood there green 😂 had to run out in the end as wasn’t risking being sick in ASDA 😐

iloveeggs · 26/03/2023 14:05

Has anyone else’s nausea got worse after 10 weeks? I thought it was supposed to get easier. I’ve started vomiting the last 3 days 😭 headaches and so weak from the vomiting.

VictoriaBlossom · 26/03/2023 14:38

@iloveeggs not 10 weeks yet but I feel like cracking the champagne open as I had my first puke 😂😂😂
Obv a late bloomer

Fifianne · 26/03/2023 14:58

I’m having a panic again today I’m 9 weeks 6 days and I don’t feel pregnant. I actually woke up and didn’t feel like I would vom or have been hit by a bus. I know symptoms come and go but honestly I’m worried. 😔

NSx · 26/03/2023 15:42

My sickness seems to come at night and
literally sick every night it’s soul destroying…
oh and I can’t stop eating / sleeping 😵‍💫

anyone else eating themselves out of house and home ?

VictoriaBlossom · 26/03/2023 16:00

@NSx yeah I just devoured a pitta from nandos, with two sides, and 5 wings

Went to co op and bought a bag of 4 cookies and ate two

I now want a bath because my legs wreck and are really restless, the only thing that sorts my restless legs out is bath salts

I'm looking at the third cookie now like 😍🤰 ha!

Apart from night sickness are you ok

iloveeggs · 26/03/2023 16:14

@VictoriaBlossom I started vomiting bang on 10 weeks 😭

@NSx From about 8-10 weeks I was absolutely ravenous, could not stop eating and it made my nausea go away. Then on Friday just completely changes, woke up not hungry at all, just felt sick. And everything I eat is making me feel sick 😓

I'd rather just be ravenous now.

NSx · 26/03/2023 16:41

@VictoriaBlossom yes apart from constant nausea I’m fine.
wait til you see the size of the hotdog I had at the cinema last night 😂😂😂 I said to OH if I don’t finish it you can have some. Legit ate the whole thing 😂😂😂 who am I 😅 …
Today I’ve had a chicken tikka and cheese panini and lentil soup with tomato crisps. And I’m still hungry 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 HELP I’m going to turn into shamu 🐳… im not really feeling sweet things as much as I want bread 😵‍💫 and savoury lol!
how are you? I read you were having cramping (Pic of my hotdog to follow lol)

@iloveeggs I am around 9+5 and honestly I’m starving then I eat and I’m fine: then come the evening I feel sick as a dog and throw up 😞😞😞😞 the nausea truly sucks I hope you’re ok x

VictoriaBlossom · 26/03/2023 16:56

@NSx haaaaa you're literally my hero. Look at the size of that sausage!!!!

I am in the bath with some salts and olbas oil bath soak. It's super relaxing.

Cramps were literally like period cramps on Friday, and I'd wiped last Friday to find a teenie bit of blood, and then this Friday to find a full wipe of blood I just felt sad and thought it was the end of the line. You can't stop these things happening can you.
But I literally saw my baby move on Saturday so now, I have chilled the fuck out.

I think we are the same @ 9w3?
Hitting the 10w mark next weekend excites me. 😍😍😍

VictoriaBlossom · 26/03/2023 16:57

@iloveeggs vomiting daily for me = eta 4 days then 😂

monsteramunch · 26/03/2023 16:59

Ooh that hot dog looks DELICIOUS.

Currently making a sausage sarnie here and can't wait! Angel delight on the menu for pudding, too.

I'm 10+6 and a little bump (not even that little) seems to have sprung out of nowhere the last couple of days, more than just bloating, so much so that a few people noticed it. I'm quite slim but wasn't expecting to show this soon!

I really like it though, it's making it feel more real Smile

NSx · 26/03/2023 17:00

@VictoriaBlossom it was bloody huge 😂😂😂 and I loved it 😂😅😅😅 … im such an eater at the minute 🤪 …
oh that bath sounds delightful, I’m not huge on baths but I like them once in a while.
oh God I bet that was scary I’m sorry you went through that but I do know bleeding can be absolutely normal in pregnancy for some ladies so I’m so glad you got a scan and got to see your little bean 💓💓 when’s your next scan? 12 w scan?
my 8 week scan they said I’m ahead of what I thought but I think it will level out, at the minute DD is 24/10 but I think it’s more than likely going to be 27/18 October …

NSx · 26/03/2023 17:01

@monsteramunch it was bloody lovely 😂😍 I’m having steak pie for dinner and I can’t wait 😂💕
Angel delight is an absolute blast from the past, I didn’t even know it was still a thing 😍 I really fancy some jelly 🥹

VictoriaBlossom · 26/03/2023 17:06

@NSx yeah mine is 27/10
My favourite time of year is Halloween, and I've always said I wanted a Halloween baby so we can have Halloween birthday parties- so I am getting my wish, even if it was an accident.

I keep thinking that I'll maybe stop eating in the second trimester? And maybe it's better to eat while I can because then I won't lose weight when im sick..... I've just not been sick til last night.

Yes scan is 12w so that's 17/4 and it's just really exciting. 9am so bright and breezy.
The blood was worrying but at the same time I'm very much documenting it on here for other girls, I guess we are at the back of the October party so girls might experience it before me. But I'd rather say on here, A. Because I can just get my worry off my chest and B. Whatever happens there are others who can see too.

Looking forward to snuggling up in an oodie, with the dog and bf for a Luther marathon this evening. Ready for another week of carnage in work.

What did you watch at the cinema btw??

VictoriaBlossom · 26/03/2023 17:08

@monsteramunch what flavour angel delight though?

NSx · 26/03/2023 17:19

@VictoriaBlossom I wanted a summer baby as I’m a July baby myself but here I am with a wee Halloween 🎃 baby 😂😂😂 ..kid will be born in a pumpkin outfit 😂😅 ….
I have definitely put weight on, the thing is I tried to eat some homemade soup and honestly I couldn’t face it without feeling sick, so I’m at the point now where I just eat what I want, chances are I’ll throw up 😂 especially it seems to be in the evening so I’m over it all now 🥹 … you are so lucky with no sickness upto now, it’s vile.
my scan is 19/04 at 11am, yours always seem to be better timed than mine 🥹 atleast it’s not 3pm like the last one!
oooh I’ve heard the new Luther film is good, I haven’t watched it myself though -

we went to see Creed last night … Michael B Jordan is a dream boat 😂😍😍

VictoriaBlossom · 26/03/2023 17:40

we went in to fetal health yesterday as boyfriends gotta be tested for thalassemia and sickle cell. They rang me three times to chase to see when he was going in. But he works on call so never is able to commit to times.
Tomorrow is D day and they'll be ringing me to tell me if our blood matches or not 😭. The only way I could really explain it was what happened with Ashley Cain. He got quite emotional. Was so sad to see!

Is anyone else going through dodgy blood conditions/rare blood types?

@NSx that's the boxing film my boyfriends been banging on about!
Mmmm wouldn't mind a hot dog right now, shame he's working 😂

DmcinT · 26/03/2023 17:52

Girls, we had our early scan last week (9 weeks) and we’re not near over the shock… we’re having TRIPLETS!!!
I mean I don’t know how what or where this will happen, head in overdrive since found out, it’s just surreal. On the one hand I’m like wow a ready made family in one go and how cute they will be and on the other hand I’m like HOOOW will we do this.

NSx · 26/03/2023 17:56

@VictoriaBlossom I know a bit about both those traits as I work in a GP surgery so we have patients who have both of these, I know it’s particularly worse if both parents are carriers?

I hope your bfs bloods come back clear so you don’t have to worry.
I have my NIPT bloods on Tuesday so I’ll have a dreaded weeks wait after this too 😅

yea Creed is the boxing film it was quite good, I would eat that sausage again in a heartbeat 😂😍😍

NSx · 26/03/2023 17:58

@DmcinT OMG 😂😂😂😂 congratulations! I can imagine the feelings you are feeling. Are they identical or not ?
I don’t know if you know but I watched a programme on Disney + called this is us, they had triplets 😍🥰 it’s not real life but they were so cute ! Congrats again x

iloveeggs · 26/03/2023 18:07

@VictoriaBlossom Oh I hope it's not the same for you too!

@NSx Okay other than the sickness. Going to have to tell work tomorrow, only started a new job and in training so worried about that. Had to log off at lunchtime on Friday and don't know how I'll cope next week 😫P.s the hotdog looked yum!!

@DmcinT OMG!!! I can imagine the shock, that's a lot to take in! But also congrats!
