October - into the second trimester!

[Needtobuildabridge]

Hi all,

Getting close to 4 threads filled - here's number 5!

@LWestYorks yes, every other week I have a pinky red wipe and then have a really pale discharge for like 4 days after that.
Was gonna mention it to my midwife when I speak to her next week

@VictoriaBlossom Yes I’m exactly the same but it’s worrying me so much when it happens. Im going to ring my midwife tomorrow and see what she says..

15 weeks today - 25 to go 🥴I was truly miserable last night for the first time - sorry a bit of a rant incoming.

I’ve hardly slept a wink, I had dreadful heartburn last night and TMI but horrendous gas and the scary cramps that come with that! I also cricked my neck so I couldn’t get comfy. Polly (my pregnancy pillow 🤣) saved the day there tbh. Aside from that I could hear DH sleeping soundly beside me and I was sooooo jealous 🥲 sorry for the rant but when you’re still awake at 4am after going to bed at 10 you’re not in the best mood 😬

@HVHT we've found out the sex both times and we'll find out this time too - we've already used the only two boy names we agreed on so we might need those last 20 weeks to decide on a third! 😂

@Chanteuse I feel your pain today, I was awake from 2-5.30 then my kids were up at 6.45. Means my 2yo is already tired and grumpy, but he won't nap...have just offered the bags under my eyes to DH as I reckon he could fit the weekly food shop in them rn!

@DancingNancies - I hear you on 20 weeks to come up with a name. We could never agree on a second girl's name but can come up with a lot of boy names we both like. We are naming our kids names from my husband's first language and their girl names are just not very appealing to me!

We're the opposite here @EMcG3!

We have our girl's name sorted as it's one I've been completely in love with since I was little and luckily he loves it too.

But not one single boy name that either of us are fussed about at all, other than the name my brother just used for my newborn nephew ironically... so that's out of the question 😂

Oh girls I am still struggling on with the cold, I think it's a sinus infection now 😥I don't know if it's just pregnancy that's making it last so long, or if it's an infection. My face hurts so so bad, contemplating going to the GP for an anitbiotic.

You should definitely get it looked at @iloveeggs . Sinus infections are the worst!

Is anyone else exhausted? I'm 12+4 and it doesn't seem to be improving. I napped yesterday and going to nap now 😳 I'm getting plenty of sleep at nights at the min 8+ hours but usually more.

Yep, afraid I'm still shattered all the time at 13+6! Never been good at napping but I'm learning that sometimes it's not optional and I'm trying to let my body do what it needs.

Also hungry ALL the time and I'm just going with that too, making sure I'm eating healthily plus some treats as and when needed.

I could happily spend this week literally just eating and sleeping only instead of bloody work 😭

@ttcttc I got up at 7:30am, napped from 4:30-7:30,
Then went to bed at 10, slept through til 7

I'm tired now and it's 3pm 😭😭😭

@monsteramunch @VictoriaBlossom it's awful ain't it. Im having like fatigue symptoms with it, pressure in my head, top of nose and tired eyes and brain fog.

With you on the constant eating too!

How far on are you @VictoriaBlossom ? Have you both had your scans? You've maybe said but can't keep track with posts lol

@cruciverbalista I think I'll call the GP tomorrow.

@ttcttc Shattered all the time too, I'm 13+2 now. I'm also sick so probably not helping the situation. Constantly starving too, I feel like I've piled on weight.

@iloveeggs I've piled it on too. It's awful!

I'm 15 weeks and been lounging in bed for the past two hours. My app told me that I feel better now... Nope, not really 😂

@HVHT I don't want to find out but husband does 🫣

Adding to the 'does anyone else...?'

Is anyone else struggling with food? I'm so hungry, but nothing appeals. It's making good so hard!

@Needtobuildabridge YES! The hunger seems to come and go now rather than being there constantly like it was before. But now I'm struggling with finding nothing appealing!

All I know is sweet stuff is the main cause of heartburn but also I'm really not dancing sweet stuff at all

@iloveeggs I have had a shocking cold and a blocked nose for around 5 weeks now, I keep telling myself it's pregnancy and not being able to take anything that has made it last longer but it has been awful

@Needtobuildabridge I struggled with not knowing what I wanted to eat between weeks 10-13 but I'm 14+4 today and my appetite is back- I even know what I want to eat which has been so nice

@firstlittlefrazzleontheway It's the worst, I've been off work sick since Wednesday and don't feel I can go back tomorrow.

I am so tired... I sleep at least 10 hours a day and I am still tired! And I am on holidays! I don't know how I will manage going back to work tomorrow 😭

We were playing with my 5 year old "I'll tell you something silly to do", I asked her to pretend she was pregnant, she started shouting "I am too heavy, I am too heavy", then fall on the floor and announced "I can't get up, I am too heavy" 😂😂 I think I'll use this excuse in a few months!

@ttcttc nhs scan this week but had a 12 weeker on Friday, private. Because I had blood again.

12w2 today

@iloveeggs @firstlittlefrazzleontheway coincidentally I just read the part of the pregnancy book about blocked sinuses. They said to use steam, sinus massage and saltwater rinses. You might have tried all that already but just in case you need some relief this evening.

@Needtobuildabridge yes and I always feel nauseous around dinner time too. I have to force myself to cook because of my toddler. Luckily he's happy with plane food. I don't think I'd eat otherwise
