Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

TeamLowe

Mint polos are the shiznit.
White food ditto.
Feeling like I'm hungover every morning not so much.
Waking up feeling nauseous in the night ditto.

(but reassures me quite a bit, definitely don't remember feeling this bad last time and i do feel worse than the beginning of the week so hopefully sign things are progressing) x

Oooh not long now until your scan TL! Will be thinking of you on Sunday! (Whilst I'm having a sober lunch with the in-laws... could be painful!!! )

Speaking of sober, got to go to my friend's birthday party tomorrow night and not too sure what to do about the non-drinking issue. I'm driving but we always take a bus/taxi so it's not like we can just be like, 'Oh yeah, I'm driving tonight so no drinkies for me' without it throwing up warning flags for people! A few of our friends know we've been trying for a long time too so they're pretty much always on the lookout for signs of a pregancy...I don't feel comfortable telling everybody so soon but at the same time don't feel comfortable coming up with silly lies and having everyone speculate behind my back!

Oooh and also, just in an annoying clothing issue, I've found a big chub-rub hole in the inside thigh of my only pair of sensible jeans... don't want to replace them if I'm going to grow out of them in a couple of months but need a pair! Grrrr, what an annoying in-betweeny-can't-buy-any-clothes time!

Is it sad that I'm looking forward to doing my weekly POAS tomorrow to see the weeks go up to 3-4?!

Meh. I feel pants but happy if that makes sense because there is a reason why!

Didn't do well with spag bowl last night won't give you too much information! Fwwl like I am always yawning but tiredness is a sign as well I think. My partner has been great and made me feel like he really wants to do everything for me. Even lift the hoover upstairs!!

Birdie - I was debating buying more pregnancy tests so I can POAS. Don't think I am normal - what is normal though!

Birdie - non-alcoholic cocktails maybe? Or lime and soda then people can't tell there isn't vodka in it? 3+ is the last stage of the tests, so after that please stop testing as there's a point when they start to go blank but you're still pregnant because the hormone levels change.

My OH bought me a twin pack of digis last week when I was having my panic so I've got one left to use tomorrow... I'm telling myself that this is the last one!

I'm really tired too. I'm yawning constantly and by the time OH gets in from work at 10.15 I can barely keep my eyes open!

Is anyone else finding that they get out of breath easily now? Ever since last week I've been puffing after walking home from work (about 12 minute walk)... not sure if this is pregnancy related or if it's hayfever!

ETA: Cross posted with you Sparkles! Will try the non alcoholic cocktails... just may get a bit awkward since we tend to get into rounds, unless I engineer it so that either OH or I are always the ones going to the bar to order?

Birdie - It will only go as far as 3+ !! Will you be 6 weeks tomorrow then?

Teamlowe - Yes, feeling shocking is a good sign Things ended pretty much straight away for you last time didn't they so maybe that's why you never got much sickness? In the nicest possible way, I hope you feel like death for the next few months

Sam - It's good that your OH is looking after you. I think my husband is a bit fed up with me being pregnant now so just treats me like normal! He actually complained that I "sit and do nothing a lot of the time" the other day. I was pretty narked.

Anyway. I've felt pretty rubbish the last few days too. Sickness is there, but I feel anxious all of the time and stressed beyond belief. I have this horrible sinking feeling that I can't shift. Nothing takes my interest and I just feel like I want to cry. It's probably a mixture of a lot of things couples with sleep deprivation. Since we've had the good weather, my son has virtually stopped sleeping and now spends most of the night in bed with us as it's the only way we can get him to stop screaming at 3am.

Sorry to rant. I just don't know what's wrong with me Time is also dragging now. I feel like things have gone quite quickly until now. Scan on Tuesday seems like it's not getting any closer.

3-4, 3+... same diff! As long as it goes up I'm happy! And I promise it'll be my last one!

I think I'll be 6 weeks on Sunday Lily... only another 6 weeks of torture to wait!

Big hugs for feeling out of sorts though. You've been through so much it's no wonder you're feeling anxious. Have you got anyone you can talk to about all this? Are there any relaxation techniques you can try? This weekend will whizz by (as they always do) then there'll only be Monday to get through then your scan and you'll see your lovely little baby again! Have you got any more scans booked in for after that, before the 20-weeker?

To be honest, I don't think my stresses are pregnancy related (for a change!). Hopefully it will all blow over soon.

I see my consultant next Tuesday too so we will see what plan she wants to give me. I would imagine they will probably do a scans at 16, 20, 24, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36 and delivery at 37. That's what happened last time and I was quite happy with that. We'll see. Things can obviously change in the blink of an eye so I'm keeping an open mind. I have just booked a sexing scan for 12th July (15 weeks) so that's something to look forward to

Show us a pic of the 3+ tomorrow! I still get butterflies when I see positive tests (like Percy's this morning on the TTC thread!) :T

Here's some 3+ !!!!!! for you lily from several months back

Hi there, board jumping from the next one (12-24 weeks) to say that if you're not drinking then a good lie is to say you're taking antibiotics - people tend to understand and not pry.
Happy Friday girls x
