November 2024 Babies- Part 2!

[piechipsgravy]

Hi all,

New thread for those of us expecting babies in November 2024.

Welcome!

Thanks everyone, glad it’s not just me! Some nights I’m not in any pain or discomfort though but the sleeping still isn’t good…

@Riverstardust I can relate to this, sometimes my boobs have felt like they’re on fire when I’m trying to sleep 🤣 at least your cat is giving you practice for early mornings 👀

@Daisychain27 yeah that, they are also so hot too so maybe an actual fire! 😂 When you put it like that, I should be thanking him! 😂

@piechipsgravy this is amazing and what a great scan photo! Congratulations 🥰

We have our NIPT on Monday with a scan, I’ll be exactly 10 weeks so I’m just so nervous and excited at the same time. Hope to see a massive amount of growth since our 6 week scan 🤞

Thanks everyone! Going to tell my parents today which is very exciting but I'm weirdly nervous for... I think my parents think I'm still a virgin!

I'm also wondering whether I should now go by the scan measurements for my dates or stick with LMP til my dating scan? It doesn't really make any difference but psychologically I like feeling like I'm further on 😅

@omghavingababy I am so sorry you are going through this <3

Everyone else who had their scan and received good news, I am so pleased for you. I had a rescan yesterday at 6+5 and they saw a heartbeat.

My nausea has been awful though so they are putting me on Metoclopramide, after cyclazine didn’t help! Just putting this info out there as I know many of you are having terrible nausea too!

What was the discrepancy? I would go with what they said on the scan tbh. So exciting. Let us know how your parents react ❤️

Hey all hope you’re all well!
@piechipsgravy lovely scan photo good luck telling the parents I felt the same you forget you’re an adult with husband/partner and a home etc 😂 I still feel 18 at heart nearly 30

im off for a private scan this morning due to the wiping pink/brown discharge just want to have everything checked last scan I was disappointed as I only seen gestational sac no yolk sac yet however I’ve had some nausea now and cravings in the last week so I’m hoping that means HCG has ramped and baby is visible sending and saying lots of prayers. X

Hope it makes a difference for you. I’ve been prescribed Prochlorperazine so hoping I see a change.

Would anyone recommend at scan at 6-7 weeks? I don’t feel pregnant and it was all abit of a shock I’m still not sure how it happened 🤣 I think I’m in denial and need to see a scan for it to feel real if that makes sense. I go away when I’m 10 weeks so was going to get one then just to feel abit better before my holiday but don’t know if I can wait that long 🥴 they are not cheap either !

@Sparksi only 4 days (LMP- 9+1, scan- 9+5) so not really any noticeable difference other than making me feel a bit better haha

@Jenroxy5 good luck with the scan! Will be thinking of you x

I've booked one for 9 weeks, I'm thinking I can see a little bit more then. I've got 9 days to wait now 😂 taking forever but also going fast at the same time if that makes any sense.

@Daydreamer94 - I've also been on metoclopramide since yesterday, along with cyclizine. I'm afraid I'm still having episodes of nausea and it's also really knocked me out! If you find anything that helps, please share.

I am grazing constantly and moping around feeling sorry for myself. I keep reading that the nausea can peak week 9-10, which is this week for me, so praying that's true! Though with my DD I think it peaked at week 13-14 😳

Does anyone that's experiencing nausea, have any inspiration for dinners that you're managing to eat? I've mainly been snacking for the last 2 weeks and dinners have been something like a plain baked potato or a bowl of cereal! I'm really struggling with the idea of meat and eggs atm (veggie at heart!) and wondered if anyone has managed to have any successful meals with their OH that didn't make them want to vom 🤢😅 xx

I wouldn't. The fertility people sent me for an early scan and it's caused me nothing but stress.

first scan done, everything okay, heard heartbeat and saw baby wriggling its hands and feet 🥰

Congrats @y0rkier0se gorgeous scan ☺️

Awww @y0rkier0se lovely scan xx

feeling the nausea here too and wondering if I might vom this time. Ordered some sick bags off eBay but they won’t arrive in time for a work trip I need to take next week involving trains etc. Anyone know if sick bags are usually available at pharmacies?

I’ve started taking 50mg b6 as of today in addition to prenatal vitamins, to try and reduce the nausea. It was totally debilitating for my with my first child 😣

Unfortunately no! I’m the same only my aversion is to pretty much everything. Especially savoury foods, and plain foods 🤢 I feel you.

I think if there’s anything you slightly fancy then have it. Also think try to take meals day by day rather than shopping in advance - wasted a lot this week because nothing we’d meal planned for was appealing

I also think don’t let yourself get too hungry. Try snack even if you don’t feel like it. I’ve just got a Greggs vegan steak bake as we were passing a Greggs and thought I will be ok when I am actually eating it, and I was. Now I feel much less sick. I think nausea can be related to blood sugar levels and how recently you’ve eaten something

Also @Starrysky812 DH made a spicy tomato pasta last night which was really tasty, had some veggie meatballs with that, that was ok! Could you try plain pasta with some sauce on the side? Xx

@Starrysky812 - I've been picking at my toddler's leftovers which are pretty easy to stomach - fish fingers, potato smileys etc. Not the most nutritious but you definitely want something in your tummy at all times. You have my sympathies, it's is horrible 😔 I usually live for food!

I'm utterly exhausted today. That seedy feeling I was getting in the morning has turned into a queasy one today. Looks like I'm finally getting morning sickness 🤢
I think this is going to get worse. I have a small job to do but I'm going to wait until tomorrow.
I wonder if those ginger biscuits I bought would help? Hugs for everyone feeling icky. 💜

Boarders stem ginger and dark chocolate biscuits are the bees knees! They are like £2.50 for 8 which is insane but really worth it. Although if you have a nectar card they are £1 at Sainsbury’s!

So much ginger in them and not too sweet, just perfect for sickness and to keep blood sugar levels up too.

All this talk of biscuits is making me want some !!
I just cannot eat enough today but nothing seems appetising except for biscuits and processed crap…dreaming of potato waffles here

I feel so crap I wish I fancied any food! I’m currently lying in bed (most unlike me, I usually can’t nap or rest and am very on the go) but just totally completely zapped and sicky.

I’ve eaten a box of 12 potato waffles in 3 days. I’ve just had 2 with a slice of vegan cheese in the middle, with salt, vinegar and mayo. I don’t regret a thing!
