Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

KScarlet

Sending lots of hugs to Counting and Angelmummy xxxxx

Vic its interesting you mention pregnacare causing sickness as I am taking them and suffering terrible sickness. I'm terrible at remembering to take things so I take them when I get up, reading pack tells me I shouldn't take on empty stomach oops. I've got another months worth so will see how I get on having one after breakfast then buy another brand!

Ice lollies are a great idea, oddly I craved one yesterday so bought a pack of rockets earlier!

I found the scan discussion interesting. I have had MCs and bleeding in this pregnancy so a scan reassured me there was still something there. I'm due another both booked by my MW I didn't even need to ask I just said what I was experiencing. I wouldn't have paid for a scan though as I know I would have got one eventually (12 weeks) I had a Doppler for my last pregnancy which I didn't take too seriously so if we didn't find a heartbeat I didn't panic as sometimes it is difficult.

I'm feeling so exhausted at the moment. It's hard looking after my son as I just want to snooze!

Bit of a personal question. When did everyone's boobs start having a mind of there own and growing so much that they spilled out your bra? Mine have grown so much this past week its quite scary. I was quite happy with my little B's and now feeling quite paranoid about them lol

Amy 7+3

With my first 2 pregnancies, there were no boobs there. DD1 I had none, even right up to her being born (couldn't breast feed her). DD2, they became full about a month before delivery. (was able to breastfeed) This one though, my god, I've gone from a limp 34C/D to a bloody full 34F!! I don't think i'll have any problem breastfeeding this one :rotfl:

I bought 3 packs (3 for price of 2) and definitely better since I've stopped them. I'm gonna try taking the sealed full packs back or give them away.
I think we're about the same stage aren't we? 6+4

To begin with I was feeling sick unless I ate continuously. Luckily that only lasted a few weeks Ice Lollies helped me a lot. Sainsburys do a pack of about 20 for £3. Delicious tasting ones

I could've written this! I'm making sure I graze throughout the day. Definitely preferring dry food though. X

Yep, anything savory. Couldn't stand sweets/chocolate (still can't and I have a VERY sweet tooth)

It does get better Just eat as much as you need, when you need it

RE Pregnacare - they do make the nausea worse if taken on an empty stomach - more iron or something I remember reading. All prenatal vitamins will be the same, so the only other alternative is just folic acid tablets. I'd still rather take the Pregnacare as my diet is pretty poor, so at least I'm getting the vits that me and baby need. At the mo, I take mine before bed so that I'm too sleepy to notice any increased sickness!

I was taking mine after evening meal. At least my urine isn't fluorescent anymore!

Counting - really sorry to hear you news

Anyone been through something traumatic early on that can give me tips on trying to de-stress? I'm just a mess. Xx

Sorry to hear this. My MIL died in our 2WW & I'm gutted that OH didn't know in time to tell his Mum. Can't advise other than to remind you what you know, in that you must put yourself first - perhaps focus on what your Auntie would want (which I assume is you remain healthy).

TTC40 - Still plodding on with my assignment but it is so hard. Dull as dishwater and I can only do it when DD is sleeping. Not so bad when she has her lunchtime nap, but come evening time I'm too exhausted to get my books out. I've emailed my tutor asking for an extension - I've never done that before, but she knows about my pregnancy so fingers crossed I get one for a couple of weeks.

Keep at it! I have to get mine done this week - no extensions. Thankfully my tutor was positive about a draft I sent last week so not too worried about it being perfect. I'm looking for a pass & nothing more!

AFM - 6 hours driving & 3 hours in a meeting today. Thankfully I woke up feeling fine & have stayed that way.

I'm another one who would recommend Tuc biscuits. I have had several days where they have been the first thing I have eaten.

Was wondering yesterday how people don't know they are pregnant till quite far on. I can only think that this comes down to the fact that we are all different - there is no way that I wouldn't know. I feel alsorts of strange feelings/ pains etc. Hope these are good signs.

Vic yes I'm 6w+1 I think! I've not felt too sicky today but I'm more weak than anything so have been taking spatone too.

My boobs have gone fairly big already, they did last time too. I am going to wait until 12w scan for bra measurement.

I'm just wanting savoury food all the time, I've had chocolate but it makes me feel worse. Very unlike me!

Is it bedtime yet?! I'm exhausted!
