Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! 2

Morning. I hope everyone's having a good weekend and is starting to feel Christmassy. It's really nice hearing about those who have had scans, I'm really pleased they've all gone well. It must be such a good feeling seeing there's actually something inside you, but kind of weird that you can't feel it yet. I'm a scan date buddy with Pippa80 and mine's on Wednesday too. It can't come soon enough! Thanks for the info about the nuchal scan. I'm having it done and was wondering how long it would take to get the results.

Has anyone else started to show yet? I can't tell if my bigger tummy is due to bloat or bump. I've not bought any new clothes yet, but I'm wearing skirts and dresses a lot more as trousers are too uncomfortable.

I hope noone's suffering with horrible symptoms today. I had a few days where I didn't feel so bad, but this past week I've felt more nauseous than before, which doesn't seem fair!

Yes, I'm showing now. My bump is only little but feels hard and I'm beginning to find sleeping on my tum uncomfortable. I can't bare clothes pressing on my tum either so I'm wearing lots of dresses for work.

I will be graduating to t'other board tomorrow as my first trimester will come to an end. Here is hoping that it is kinder to me. I'm finding it so hard to believe that I am 14 weeks tomorrow. It still seems like yesterday when my little one was the size of a sesame seed and I was five weeks gone.

I now have, thanks to my OH, a new wardrobe for work. It was such a struggle to buy on the high street! I know that you can buy online but years of experience has taught me only to buy online when I know the sizes of the particular shop (I'm an awkward sized slim petite). Plus, I like to be able to feel the fabric first.


Anyhoo, how are you spoiling your OH over Christmas? Mine has done so much for me it's untrue. He has been working 10 hours day in a stressful job only to come home to cook tea, clean-up and look after me because my hormones have rendered me useless. He makes my packed lunch for work, put up with me snapping/crying/sleeping. He's been like my carer! I have bought him bit n bats already but am struggling with how to show that I really do appreciate everything that he has done for me since we found out.

Snozberry - sounds just like my DH. I said to him the other day, its almost like its preparing him for pregnancy by me basically becoming a baby - I puke, cant cope with doing any type of household chore, sleep all the time, and he brings me food and drinks whilst I lie down:rotfl: and yes makes my lunch for work. Going to need to think up something nice for him.

But past two days Ive felt quite a bit better after retching first thing, and actually managed to get out of the house other than for work, and cook some pasta- first time Ive used the cooker in 3 weeks! Last couple of weeks ive been like a hermit and the house turned into a complete pit so DH cleaned it top to toe last week as it was not helping me relax by seeing piles of washing and carp pile up!

I do think though when Ive had a lie-in it helps, so will see how I am tomorrow when getting up for work.


I had my booking in appt at the local hospital on Friday, this lovely student midwife did it, with an older lady helping/supervising. Thank god, because when they did the blood test I said I need to lie down for this I am quite freaked out and dont want to faint on you - and she said neither do I - we want to leave at 5pm :rotfl:but the older one kept me talking about my job which i managed to non-stop natter away about whilst the student did the test, which didnt hurt more than a jab at all, but seemed like it went on for a while I guess when she was changing the vials and I just put my hand over my face.

When it finished I was sweating all over! So I think it would have been worse if there had only been 1 lady because then they might not have kept me chatting so much plus she had to squeeze my arm.

They said they send the paperwork off to the main hospital, and then on tues afternoon or weds morning I can ring up to arrange the scan, so Im hoping I get the date there and then on the phone otherwise would seem a bit weird to ring up if they were just going to send a letter, as there was already a scan request form in the pack theyve sent off.
I was quite excited when I came home and then found out a friend lost her baby at 23 weeks so felt quite down after that


On a happier note my other friend has a had a healthy baby girl and just getting used to having 1 hours sleep for 7 nights in a row :eek:


One great thing about having the student do the appt was that she said she needs to follow someone who has a standard/low risk pregnancy as part of her training, and said would I mind her coming to my appts and birth, which I was very happy about as Im assuming it would be rare to get to see the same person all along so I was quite happy to agree to that, plus she seemed to have a very relaxing type of personality.

Snozberry and claire16c - I am jealous! My OH has been rubbish! I am going to report to him how you have been saying how wonderful yours are! I am still the driver, cook (most of the time), washing maid, grocery shopper and I still have to pack lunch up half the time! Pah! You are lucky girls!:D (he has been walking the dog more though as I don't like the cold weather - but thats the only change!).

I am going to kick up a fuss later....:mad:

I'm showing but I think its bloat (its above my tummy button too - nothing firm and I can feel butterfly like twinges in my tummy when I am lying down - whether thats movement or wind - I don't know - after all, without a scan I don't even know that there is anything there!!!) and can only wear leggings, loose tops and dresses!

My nausea is improving though - not quite so lengthy bouts - woohoo! I wouldn't say I feel "blooming" yet though!!!:p

snozberry

lol flutters would definately be wind with me! It's like living in Chicago the windy city in our house! I am surprised that I haven't knocked my poor OH out! haha I'm gross! And, I'm burping more and I don't do burps!

My sickness is much better as well but I still need to take my faithful tub of crackers and a packet of mints with me wherever I go.

I wish that I felt comfortable in leggings. I don't know where everyone else lives but wearing see-through leggings seem to be the in thing near me. I can't bare the thought of anyone being able to see my orange peel though the fabric! Oh perish the thought! haha

Haha! I only wear completely opaque ones - and with a tunic top over - just incase! I hate the look of bums and tummys in leggings - hence mine are covered up!

Wind - don't talk about it - I made the mistake of having jacket potato with baked beans yesterday - EPIC MISTAKE!!!

snozberry

haha it's ace having the opportunity to be evil at home and out trumping our other halves lol

Absolutely cracked up at the last few posts girls! I can't wait to graduate over to the next trimester, roll on scan date appearing in the post!

Morning ladies! Just popping by for a moan if that's ok.

I am so sick of feeling sick, and tired, and having headaches It's getting me down a bit now. I'm at work, but can't concentrate because I feel so nauseous and I forgot my seabands

I'm also !!!!ed off because I still haven't heard anything from the hospital. I'm 10 weeks on Wednesday - I haven't had my booking appointment and I have had no word about a scan yet. I'm giving it until the end of the week and then I'm booking a private one. We really want to tell family before Xmas and I really can't be bothered making up lame excuses for why I'm not feeling well / tired / not drinking alcohol / funny with certain foods so if the NHS are not going to scan me before then (even though I'm 12 weeks on the 19th) then we will just bite the bullet and pay for one.

Sorry about the rant - hugs to those feeling miserable like me. It is just so difficult to feel happy and excited when you feel so rubbish
