Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

Getting the worst pains ever today in my right hip as well. I have a feeling this is what my midwife was warning me about when she said around the end of the first trimester your pelvis starts to tilt forward (I think) because your body is getting prepared for baby and making room. She said most times though, both sides of your pelvis don't tilt symmetrically, and it can cause pain in the side that is tilting first/more. I think my right side is first by the feel of it It's really unpleasant

I've been having that in my left hip, in a place I've never hurt before! I've had horrid trouble with my right hip in the past (when I was heavier than I am now and working 12 hour shifts on my feet and an hour and a half drive on each end of the shift), but it was always hurting in the back, nearly in the middle of my bum cheek. This pain is half-way around my leg/hip. Awkward when I have to lay on my left side to keep heartburn at bay at night.

Hopefully we will both get better soon!

I devoured a tin of baked beans (at room temp no less!) for lunch. I was way hungrier than I thought I was. I'm feeling pretty good today compared to the past handful of days. I had lost 1.1 kg this past week when the health trainer weighed me. Three weeks until my next visit, and I'm supposed to take 3 walks per week and actually prepare something for breakfast the night before. We think that preparing something the night before will help me get food quicker that's more balanced when I'm nauseous in the morning. Fingers crossed it helps!

Back home now and letting the bunnies play out in the back garden. Only have the back door open a few inches for them to go in and out, but it's still COLD out there! Once it gets a bit darker I'll go and 'usher' them inside. Hopefully they will get some of their energy out outside instead of running laps around the living room tonight. :rotfl:

I think I'll just lock myself away in a room for the next 6 months and emerge with a baby

Yeah that's pretty much what I plan to do!! Especially since living with my OH's parents is just getting too much at the moment. Every single day they question me about how I am and they practically watch me as I eat my dinner to make sure I'm ok. I feel a bit like an animal at the zoo at the moment, my every move is watched and I am questioned all the time. Always with the best of intentions but I'm feeling so overwhelmed the last few days that I just want to shut myself away forever just me and my baby

We will be telling our families if everything is ok at the scan tomorrow

Im preparing myself for a barrage of questions!
If only I could keep it all to myself

Mrs_t_m - room temperature baked beans sound truly awful.....but whatever floats your boat

My lunch today was supposed to be jacket potato with beans and cheese, but I got to the work kitchen and looked at my can of beans and I just couldn't stomach them, so I had a plain potato with butter and slightly melted cheese instead. It was blooming lovely!!

Yeah I hope it dies down soon, the hip pain that is. Though I am genuinely wondering whether because it's advised you should sleep on your left side whilst pregnant, which I have been doing with my fancy new pillow for the last few nights, maybe my hip is just hurting because it's not used to me sleeping on my left side all night every night?

I should start doing some exercise too really I've always been tiny (under 8stone and size 6-8) but since I got pregnant I've already put on a stone!! Only around my belly, boobs and bum, the rest of me is still slim, but I want to try and start doing some walks every week just to keep me from resembling a beached whale in 6 months time when the baby is due....lol

I've put on about a stone too but weirdly I don't really look any different, its all gone to my belly so I just look like I've eaten too much

I have decided not to weigh myself anymore

To be honest I wish we had waited to tell OH's parents, but it wasn't possible due to living with them in a fairly small house and me having awful morning sickness right from 2 days after we found out. If we were living on our own we would have waited until after the 12 week scan. At least then I would have had 6 weeks less of constant 'are you ok?' 'Have you thrown up today?' Every blooming day.......:(

We are going to start looking at houses this weekend. Ideally I want to try and get our own place at the start of next year (March latest ish). Given how overwhelmed and claustrophobic I feel now, I imagine it would be ten times worse once my baby, their only grandchild, is born if we are still living with them come May time I think I would have a breakdown!! As it is I feel on the edge of a breakdown already but I think that's got a lot to do with the hormones as well Grrrrr

I think you and I have the opposite problem! I'm at 19 stone 4 pounds, and for the first time in my life, I'm actually trying to NOT lose weight and it's coming off without me trying. My goal is to maintain my weight during the pregnancy, possibly lose a tiny bit.

I think one of my big things is not having a good breakfast, since that's when I'm usually the sickest and I'm just trying to get food into me. I'm feeling good right now, so I'm thinking about making some breakfast burritos to freeze, and some buckwheat pancakes. If nothing else, a quick trip in the microwave or toaster and I'll have a decent breakfast. I think DH will appreciate not having to eat cereal or a granola bar for breakfast due to me not feeling like making anything as well!

Yeah me too and also I look a bit Jordanesque at the moment, usually my boobs are a tiny 32b but I am wearing 34c bras now and still too big for them!!

Lol yeah actually I haven't weighed myself at all, when I went for my booking in appointment about 4 weeks ago they weighed me and told me how much it was unfortunately and I had put on about 10 pounds....so I am taking a guess that by now it's about a stone but it's probably more....eek

Aww sorry for you, it's the sickness that makes you lose the weight isn't it. I oddly don't think I've lost any weight through the sickness which is really strange!! That's probably a good goal - definitely don't try and lose loads and loads.

Breakfast isn't good for me either I usually wait until I get to work, and have a cup of tea and a bowl of cereal with milk, and just eat/drink it very slowly. So far for a few days my breakfast hasn't come back up which is progress (though now my anti sickness tablets have finished that could all go to pot lol)

Pancakes would be lovely for breakfast as they are very plain, and carby - I should try those as well!! I'm far too lazy to make my own though, might get some from costco...those ones are yummy
