Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

Becca you're supposed to be more sensitive to heat changes to keep baby at optimum temperature or some nonsense, I find I get like child to the bone cold really easily and definitely get overheated easily, in fact bizarrely I can feel the heat coming from the radiators when mum puts the heating on

Feel absolutely horrendous today even though I did f all yesterday and had 12 hours sleep. Got to go food shopping later too, I can see very little food but lots of drinks being purchased lol

I thought I was imagining the greasy hair thing! I've always only ever washed my hair every other day but now on the second day it looks awful! It's long, thick and wavy so it's a 'mare to wash and style every day! Will keep an eye out for the mum to be shampoo!

Struggling to get comfy in bed, I've always slept on my front but it's putting too much pressure on my stomach so I have to lie on my side and I just can't get settled!

Wow its like reading about myseld every day I come on here lol.

I have really greasy hair at the moment. Yesterday on the way back from Disney my face was showing signs of sweating I was so hot. But then a few hours later I was freezing.

Disney was great DS loved it. I was quite shocked how rammed it was. Asking a child to wait over an hour for a ride that lasts 2 minutes seems a bit much to me. And when the tickets are 80 Euros. But DS loved it and spent his Birthday Money in the shops so was equally happy about that too.

We got in about 2am. Left about 6 but only one lane on part of the M25. So that delayed us.

Shattered today but need to go and get a chicken for the roast. I have found that ice cold water seems to be helping me not feel so sick so I managed to drink quite a lot.

I can't sleep on my front anymore it makes me feel uncomfortable. I am smaller framed and about 8.5 stone and there is most certainly some kind of bump going on. It is more from the top of my belly than bottom but it is always there it is not like it is food I don't think. I didn't show for ages with DS but wondering if its now because the muscles are stretched that its going to show more.

8+2

have a good day it looks lovely out there

Hey Ladies, can I join you guys?

Just got a semi-surprise BFP yesterday, eep! I can't believe it's all real. Super excited and also super scared.

My PhD is due in 3 months time so it's work and stress central in my life atm, so I guess I am a bit worried about that.

My EDD is 7th March just using an online calculator thingy. So nice to have many ladies from the other thread due around the same time.

Congratulations lara, welcome


Ok, so, scan tomorrow... How much do I have to drink, how long before, in order to have a full bladder for the scan but not wet myself during it?

1 pint an hour before but don't down it. Sip water, it stays in your bladder longer. You will be bursting by that point (especially if they are delayed) but if you keep drinking during the hour before it'll keep your bladder filled even if you need to release some

Good luck. Will be thinking of you, looking forward to seeing the piccies

Edit: Apparently the average bladder can hold about 3/4 of a pint, but by 1/2 pint of fluid you get quite an urge to go to the loo. My scan letters requested we drink 2 pints of fluid before the scan! I think that was a misprint...!

for my most recent scan I had my last wee an hour before the appt time, then sipped from a bottle of water regularly til the appt and this worked ok for me : they got the picture and I wasn't fit to burst! Good luck Zippy
