Continuation of our first thread: https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/pregnancy/5338394-due-february-2026

Thought I was free from the sickness at nearly 11 weeks but this afternoon my lunch came back up violently 😭

@Wednesdayonline I'm grateful I haven't actually vomited at all just bad nausea afternoons onwards. I'm 10 weeks now and have noticed a slight decrease in symptoms. Hoping that's normal as I'm a bit further along. Have you taken anything for the sickness?

is anyone else experiencing mild cramps? X

Hi everyone, I've got my official dating scan and screening bloods on the 22nd of july. I'll be 11 weeks 5 days then.

It's so crazy, at the beginning time was going so slowly and now I'm 9 weeks 4 days 10 weeks on Thursday. Crazy times!

Feeling so cranky and tired, everything is a bit meh but I don't know what's actually bothering me, I feel like an overtired child being cranky sometimes 😂, sore boobs, a bit nauseous when I'm tired. More hungry now. No throwing up at all, a bit of heaving though which makes me laugh because it sounds so daft!

How is everyone else doing? X

I’m very much the same, 8 weeks today. Minor cramps every now and then which is expected?? Xx

I think mild cramps are quite normal. Just womb growing etc.

I've not had cramps, but I did have a bit of spotting at 5 weeks ish for a few days. I think it was just baby bedding in. All fine at our 6 week scan.

Have you had any private scans?

Yes had scan last week and saw baby’s heart beat so I know everything is fine xx

@Eeebee14 I am pretty much the same - I’m 10 weeks on Saturday which suddenly seems to have flown by. Booking appointment on Monday then hopefully I’ll know when my scan is not long after. Feeling ready to tell more people now!
Also really cranky/ tired and noticing nausea more when I’m particularly tired but otherwise that has got better. I’ve been feeling quite uncomfortably bloated at points too, so trying to eat little and often!

@Hbw18 I'm 10w+3 and have noticed a drop in my symptoms. Nausea is better generally but still a bit tired. Did you have the same? I'm worried my symptoms are disappearing. I'm on holiday with DHs family though so we've been busy so perhaps I'm just distracted more than usual.

@WildFinch yes I have noticed the same… I was reassured by the fact the placenta should be taking over around now? But saying that I do worry about everything. My nausea has mostly gone except if I’m super tired and replaced with really specific cravings for particular foods!

Anyone in week 8?
what symptoms have you been experiencing and have any changed this week? X

I’m 9 weeks on Thursday, got my booking app a week today. Then will wait for scan date. Feeling utterly horrendous, tired, grumpy, sore boobs and 24/7 sea sick with vomiting!! Had to gets meds from GP today, I work 12 hour shifts and Ive been on annual leave but I’m back to work Thursday and god only knows how i will cope 🫥🫥 obviously still very grateful I’m in this situation.

8+2 i feel slightly less exhausted than last week but still have strong food aversion to anything fruit or veg, basically existing on carbs right now and nausea that is coming and going. how are you feeling @elsbuth2001 ? X

I’m 8+2 too!! Breast sensitivity has reduced a lot, tiredness was still very much there yesterday but nausea has reduced too. Not sure if i need to be concerned?? Xx

Does anyone feel permanently hungover and like woozy in the head. My legs are also so heavy feels like I'm wearing concrete shoes, so hard to literally move right now. Is that just me? 😂

@elsbuth2001 my boob pain, sickness and nausea all reduced massively around 8+3/8+4. I felt way better for a while. Came back around 10 weeks. I think it's normal to have some reduction around 8 weeks I found sooo many comments about it online.

@elsbuth2001 @Wednesdayonline yeah isn’t it something to do with placenta starting to take over? I think the symptoms come and go which I have panicked about at various points over the weeks so far then felt silly a few hours later when dry heaving and sea sick again! Normal to worry though when its something we want to much its so hard not to overthink everything 🩷🩷

This is the same as me x

I felt slightly nauseas this morning but that’s gone now, feeling tired and my boobs aren’t sore as such just sensitive nipples now. Spoke to midwife who advised if no cramp/pain or bleeding then not to worry x

Thats good im glad she reassured you! are you waiting until your booking scan for another scan? it seems such a long wait doesn’t it! X

I’ve got a private scan again on Saturday xx

Yes!😩 it’s always worse in the morning, then between 1-3 I get a burst of energy, then by bedtime I’m crawling up the stairs because my legs feel like they’re dragging😂

Woke up feeling great today. Got to midday and I'm hunched over the toilet throwing up again😭 honestly this baby better be cooking away nicely in there or my body is trolling me.

Sorry but this is the actual perfect description of how I feel

I’m around 8+3 and sickness and nausea has defo eased this last few days for me too! Still had a pang of it here and there and can’t drink my usual morning brew but it’s so much better. Week 6 I was laid up for a few days just constantly feeling sick!! Do feel a bit worried but I think everyone says it’s normal for it to come and go so just going to embrace the easier days 😅
