Due December 2023 part 3

[Justanothercyster]

Starting a new thread as I can't see one, but if there is one please let me know! Will tag as many people as I can remember below

Snap. I haven't been sick yet (but it started pretty late when I had my little boy). I would love to not be sick as I hate it and my pelvic floor isn't what it was lol.
However the feeling sick is strong in this one! I lost 9lbs in a week.
Great tip about eating the higher calorie biscuits. Biscuits, bread and potatoes seem to be sustaining me at the moment! I'm sure once I'm sick I will go off all of those things 🤣🤣

@Charlielechat Exactly the same as me! Evenings are the worst but it’s now pretty much all day tbh! Have found going to bed straight after dinner helps 😂

@99SR so pleased it is all looking fine in your scan, hope it eases some worry 💕

Completely missed the new thread! Nausea has truly taken over my life, 8+3 now and hoping it is going to trail off soon, praying!

@smldnlove my sickness was really bad about 8 to 10 weeks and now its complete died off. I'm glad but then lack of symptoms makes me paranoid can't win

Eeek I've got my 12 week scan date through!
6th June at 9.20 - I should be 12+2 and it's 2 days before my birthday so I really hope all is well.
I'm in Cornwall the Fri-Mon before so will no doubt be worrying all weekend.
I've got a 10 week scan on Monday so am looking forward to that first and then not long to wait.

@SMG1992 exciting! I’m sure everything will be fine, especially if you’re having a 10 week one as well.

Are you going to tell people after the 12 week? (if you haven’t already!)

@wannabemum38 Ah thank you! Fingers crossed I’m lucky and it goes soon like yours! Hope it goes before my wedding ideally.

@SMG1992 Exciting! Ours won’t be far apart at all, mine currently 9th but trying to reschedule. Hoping to book a private one for next week too x

Todays been rough, managed to stomach a pear and a biscuit. Out at the supermarket now trying to find something that might go down well…

It's not the actual brushing my teeth, but the taste of toothpaste seems to turn my stomach at the moment. My mouth fills up with saliva like I'm about to be sick! Might get some kids toothpaste next time I go shopping to see if it makes any difference

It's my back teeth that get me! I can do the front of my front half of jaw just fine. Toothpaste or brush hits my tongue or goes past the corner of my mouth towards back teeth and I start gagging and retching.

@Mushroo Yes, close family know at the moment but after the 6th June I'll tell friends and colleagues - I'm really excited to tell people!

@smldnlove Good luck getting yours rescheduled, I hope they don't push it back, that would be so frustrating!

I've eaten like crap today, I've just eaten what I fancy which happens to be mainly carbs! I'd like to make an effort for more nutrition but now is not the time, I just need to eat whatever I can.

Had my scan today, baby measuring 8 weeks exactly, strong heartbeat ❤️🌈 so relieved xx

@midnights0 that is the best news! What lovely scan pictures for 8 weeks as well :)

So pleased it went well!

Hoping I get the same on Saturday!

@midnights0 you might not mind but I can see your name etc on the photo in case you want to hide it :)

@Mushroo oh yeah! I didn’t notice that lol, no I don’t mind :)

I have a video of the heartbeat too, please let me know how it goes. I’m sure all will be well. How far will you be then? X

@midnights0 thats lovely! Sounds like you had a great experience.

I think I’ll be 8 weeks on Saturday, keeping my fingers crossed all goes smoothly.

DH is convinced it’s twins based on no evidence whatsoever, so we’ll see 😂

I ate 6 bags of salted crisps yesterday trying to get the nausea under control. On top of normal meals and snacks. 6 bags!

I was pretty healthy before I got pregnant and never ate crisps!

@Pitstop1986 that sounds like me, I’m contemplating a healthy dinner but it’s just not hitting the spot- I’d rather eat plain toast!

Hi guys, wasn’t in the last thread but can I join? Due 4th December.
12 week scan next week and so excited / nervous after a chemical.

I just demanded a bowl of roasties and gravy, my fiancé made them and brought them to bed I took one look and gagged 😂😂 he then brought up angel delight errr didn’t like the look of that. Settled on 3 bags of pickled onion monster munch 😂 I’m so hungry though I could cry

@midnights0 Ah that is such a lovely scan! Congrats!
Good luck to everyone else who has scans coming up!

My nausea isn't too bad this evening yet, I went and bought some dinner while I was still feeling ok lol so hopefully it goes down ok! Is anyone else finding that they are extra hungry during the day though? I was trying to cut calories before I got pregnant... I think it was all in vain! 🙈

@Charlielechat yes I’ve been starving! And it comes on so quickly, I have to eat instantly or I feel crap.

I’ve now got a stash of biscuits, oat bars, grapes and carrots. Tbh I’m mainly eating the biscuits so not the best!

@Mushroo oh your snacks sound healthy at least! I'll have to find some low-calorie snacks that hit the spot!

This was me 😂

I couldn't stomach anything. My DH tried to make my favourite curry (first time I actually vomited was when i smelt it) then he followed me to the bathroom to hold my hair and rub my back but I told him between retches to go change his clothes as I'd also turned into a blood hound and could smell it on his clothes 🙈. He did it without complaint. Then said I fancied pizza at 11pm which he went out and found, then I couldn't eat that. Sour sweets were my turning point. Tangfastics etc are life.

If it helps, I'm 12 weeks now and I'm having more good days. Got my dating scan tomorrow so hopefully all is OK in there!

@FlyingHighFlyingLow oh yes! Tangfastics all the way too. And those sour patch ones. Ate a tin of grapefruit last week, would never have done that before pregnancy. Something about the sourness! 😆

Tangfastic, lemon sherbet, refreshers, drumstick sour squashies ❤❤❤

There's still a lot of food I can't eat, but if the sour sweets and biscuits settle my stomach enough I can get some nutritional food in now if I'm having a good day!

Hi just joining here! I'm 8+2, really nervous as had a MMC during covid, and this is my first pregnancy since after ttc for a couple of years.
I had a private scan the other week and they put me exactly where I thought I was, and could see a clear heartbeat. The NHS would only go off my lmp so I have my "12 week scan" on Saturday. Really hoping everything is ok, the last time I was there I was told baby hadn't grown past 6 weeks. But trying to stay positive despite the nerves and anxiety!
