Last time as I was an "older mum" they said they would book me to be seen for my scan at 12 weeks as that is the best time for nucal scan so I'm
Hoping it will be the same again .... X

How old is an older mum? I am late 30s....I thought I should be classified as "old" - I had a friend who had a baby at my age and she was warned her hips could go funny due to her age....:eek: (I am of course expecting everything to droop and not go back into place properly )

One of my friends, who is a year older than me, did have funny hips (she ended up on crutches) and she was pregnant with her first child when she was a couple years younger than I am now. It's scary!

I'm counting down too! I really hope that I feel better in the second trimester. I was vomiting yesterday and this morning. I have started to carry a plastic bag in my handbag in case I need to be sick while I'm on the tube :eek:

I seem to be ok when I'm actually at work and snacking constantly.

Well done on booking the appt Claire. Mine finally went through last week (when I was 8 weeks) and my booking appt + scan are for when I'm 12+3. I guess the urgency just depends on how busy the maternity services are in your area. It definitely seems to vary a lot based on this thread!

Things to do this week: organise flu jab and buy one of those all in vitamins/some vitamin D! (And try to keep myself together at work!)

Morning ladies :wave:

For some reason I feel the need to come on here and share with you all that I was sick for the first time today! Weirdly I feel so much better having actually been sick, after three weeks of constant nausea! I'm working from home today so it wasn't really a problem, but I'll be in the office Thursday and Friday and I'm really worried about managing if I am sick!

I also have a long commute (in the car) so I am trying to work out how I'd manage being sick while driving!

Any tips from any other ladies suffering would be very much appreciated!

Make sure you have a hole-less plastic bag (or a lot of them) with you - perhaps on the passenger seat - supermarket bags are no good because of those anti-suffocate holes in the bottom! You might also want a bucket or something, a bag could fall over and leak where a bucket will hold more upright? I'd put the bag in the bucket, rather than throw up in the bucket itself as the sight of it might set you off again otherwise.

I found with me if I threw up first thing in the morning I didn't throw up again until I'd eaten or drank something (and luckily most of the time not even then) but there were one or two times when that pattern didn't work.

Oh no! Poor you mrsj! Sometimes I think I would rather be sick than feel the way I do all day I'm really suffering with the nausea at the moment. Still haven't actually been sick, but seriously have to fight it back. I just take lots of deep breaths and then when the wave of nausea passes I eat something small like a couple of crackers. It is so draining - I am mentally and physically exhausted as a result of fighting the urge to spew all day I really hope it passes soon as I am really struggling to concentrate at work while I'm feeling like this.

How is everyone else feeling?

7 weeks tmrw for me! Hurry up 12 weeks!!
