Due November 2023 - part 2

New thread 😀

@Mldn same! I lost a couple of kilos but I don't know if it's the nausea or the bloating but I'm struggling to wear anything that's not like practically falling off of me. And I can see a very very tiny 'pouch' 😆 9+3 todays

@ExcitedandNervousC1 good to know thank you!

@anna2101 same here! Defo a different shape to my lower tummy. I feel bloody awful 😩 don’t think I’ll try any jeans on again until I buy new clothes to fit! But don’t wanna buy anything new yet incase something goes wrong. Blah!

@Mldn I'm exactly same, no jeans fit and I have no clothes to wear, I'm same i dont want to buy anything new incase anything goes wrong

@Rebs23 same!! Thankfully I work mainly from home so can take naps, but I’m struggling to then make up the hours later as I am so exhausted and also have a 2 year old to look after in the evening. Pregnancy exhaustion is like nothing else… I genuinely fell asleep briefly sitting up yesterday when I thought I could close my eyes for a minute during a call

Yes me. I posted yesterday I'm 8 weeks and over the weekend it just all stopped. Still freaking out. My boobs hurt less today too. I had a scan on Friday and it was all fine but I can't just accept it because the symptoms have gone. Got midwife Thursday so going to ask then x

I just went to get my eyebrows wax/tinted. She says cos pregnant. She wouldn’t even tweeze them 😩

@Mldn online says waxing is absolutely fine, may just be more painful. Maybe the tint isn't safe, or their insurance doesn't include pregnancy 🤔

@vix_85 yeh I read the same too. She just said they aren’t allowed to touch you first trimester. It was a benefit brow bar, maybe their insurance doesn’t allow it. I’ll go to my usual salon as they said it’s okay during pregnancy x

Just had my early scan done (7 weeks today) baby has a nice strong heartbeat!
The pain from the other night has gone but I'm taking no chances and going to bed as early as possible for rest. They did spot a haemorrhage but said that isn't unusual and to have it checked out at my 12 week scan.

@omgwth that's great news 🥰 I can't believe how common little bleeds are, I'd never even heard of them before my last pregnancy...got one in this one too. Fingers crossed for them to be gone by the 12 week scan 🤞🏼

@Sb86 thank you 🙏 it's a relief to know they aren't unusual but any time I've had them previously its never beared good news. Feeling a lot more reassured which can only be a a good thing!x

@ConfusedMumma87 thanks again for putting my mind at ease. Currently have no symptoms at all. I never had the sore boobs anyway (I have been looking forward to finally wearing something other than an A cup, but so far no luck, lol). Nausea completely gone. Maybe some after meal bloating…but I still have a food aversion to just about anything that has any flavour. Whereas usually I just want food that has the most flavour, so I’m clinging onto that one last symptom with hope.

I had 8 week scan a week ago and all was good, baby was measuring correctly and HR was at 183. Next scan isn’t until April 20, I feel like those days are gonna go very slowly!

@Psqueak87 I've a scan tomorrow, I defo don't feel like my symptoms are as strong, I am 8w+1, early pregnancy is so nerve wrecking, I'm so nervous about tomorrow's scan. I had mmc in Dec and Christmas was ruined obviously, Easter is now in the balance lol I had a scan at 6w+5 and all was OK but ya just never know

@38andtrying we'll all be thinking of you tomorrow! Just remember in 2 weeks since your last scan, no strong signs of anything going wrong is good news! Symptoms are apparently just that, symptoms. They can come and go (that's what I'm telling myself)

@Mldn me too. I wore jeans for the first time in 2 weeks today and they were so uncomfortable and tight already 😬. Back to my leggings tomorrow I think!

On another note, I've noticed I'm freezing cold in the evenings at the moment. Particularly my legs and feet. Anyone else have this? I assumed being pregnant you would always be hot 🤣

@flowerlover1990 I'm constantly cold!! Feet and hands are like ice over the past 3 weeks!

@flowerlover1990 same! I've so many blankets on the sofa now trying to keep warm !

Every morning I seem to follow the same pattern. Wake up, feel absolutely fine, panic for a few minutes about feeling fine, tell myself it's okay and normal to feel fine and just enjoy having a day I can do stuff for once, get up to go to the toilet, realise I in fact do not feel fine and actually feel as if I've been hit by a bus. 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

@JD90 I’ve just woken up feeling the same, asking myself why do I feel fine today? my husband doesn’t get it, I think he’s getting annoyed of my worries 🫣

Good luck today @38andtrying ! Thinking of you and hope all goes well!

@38andtrying hope scan day goes well!

Thanks everyone, feel like I'm walking to the gallows this morning, I didn't sleep hardly a wink last night. I'm so nervous

@JD90 Hit by a bus sounds just like me! I’m 6+4 and the moment I hit 6 weeks the nausea came on like a ton of bricks.

Are you managing to cope with going out to work etc? I’m on leave at the moment so I’m mostly just resting at home, genuinely worried how I will cope when I’m back at work feeling like this.

I'm just back, baby has a good heartbeat 169 and measuring bang on 8w+1, however.......there are 2 babies!!

One is measuring behind a few days at 7w +4 but has a good strong heartbeat also, the gestational sac is very small the baby is the complete full of the sac so that's weird. They said 50/50 chance ot 2nd baby not progressing, I have to fo back next Friday to see how things are going.

I'm so grateful one baby is doing so well 2 babies is more than I can hope for x
