Very thirsty here too - am desperate for a drink in the mornings so will have to start taking one to bed with me from now on I think.

I'm getting this as well. Wake up feeling like I've been lost in the desert for a month!

Good luck for tomorrow x

Glad it's not just me with the crazy thirst!

Does anybody here suffer with gallstones? I had them badly shortly after DD was born, then they died down and I only have had mild infrequent episodes for the last 3 years. Before we started TTC I spoke to the doctor about it as I'd heard pregnancy can make it worse. Anyway we decided because my symptoms have been so mild for a while that we would go for it without having my gallbladder removed. Having a mild attack at the moment and just hoping that it doesn't get any worse than this, as really don't want to have surgery while pregnant, although doctor did say that if needed, it is straightforward. Interested in hearing if anybody else has had the surgery in pregnancy.

YAY Keza you did it!! :-D We are upduffered together!

I am limiting lifting Jess a bit because she feels so heavy now. But she doesnt hurt me to lift her. Just getting prepared really!

I lifted my 2 1/2 yr old Goddaughter quite a bit before xmas, although she is a fairly small 2 year old - didn't think twice about it until I got home! Then started panicking, but had no pain or twinges or anything so I'll just be more cautious next time I see her.

Got home from work yesterday & felt like I'd run a marathon. Probably to do with how incredibly lazy I was over xmas (although I was quite sick), so didn't do myself any favours. Fell asleep for an hour on the sofa only to go to bed and lie stirring for 2 hours, then get really awful sleep the rest of the night - this better not be the start of 'pregsomnia', I really can't cope with not sleeping (yes, I have nightmares about how little sleep I'll get when LO is here!).

Time for my paranoid outburst - is anyone else irrationally worried about MMC? I say irrationally, because it's obviously totally rational if you've ever had the heartbreak of a MC before. I haven't had any pain, bleeding or anything that should be a cause for concern, no previous MCs and no family history, but as I get closer to my scan I'm getting more and more anxious about it. My nausea has got loads better in the last 2 days too, which obviously should be a cause for celebration, but I almost want it back just to reassure me. I think I almost feel a bit too well informed what with the wonders of the internet and Dr. Google, sometimes a wealth of information at your fingertips just isn't helpful. Is anyone else feeling like this?

Claire- that's my fear too, particularly when ive had no MS- I really worry that it's all ok, with the lack of symptoms, even my tiredness has gone. I had one day of brown spotting on New Years day but am trying not to think about it. Up until the weekend I got constant cramps, don't know if that's good or bad.

My OH thinks I'm being daft, but I think he just doesn't understand! I've decided to go for a private scan at 7+6 this Sunday, but am worried about that too, as I've a (severely) tilted uterus and have read that it can be difficult to get clear scans

Waiting to attend my midwife app on the 19th, so annoyed with work commitments for making me have to wait a week more to speak with soneone!

You're still relatively early hun, so brown spotting could definitely be left over implantation bleeding, or a range of other things. Try not to worry.

Very jealous of your early scan! I know some lucky people can get them relatively cheaply, but private scans near me are all £99 which wasn't at all feasible around Christmas. Any other time of year we'd have probably gone for one for reassurance. Just got to sit out this anxiety until next Wednesday when I'll be 12+4.

I have a tilted uterus as well but I've always found internal scans fine external ones they can never see anything. Your early scan should be internal so fingers crossed it will be fine good luck. I also had brown discharge had a early scan at 5 & 6 weeks but I am still really worried that we will get bad news at the 12 week scan Not that we've had that appointment yet and I'm 10 wks on Friday!

Thanks for the reassurances- I didn't go to docs/speak with anyone about the spotting as it was only one day, and wasn't red. Don't know if I should have mentioned it tho. Although it has spurred the wanting an early scan- I need to know there's something in there!

Luckily the scans are half price at the moment, so would 'only' be £50.

It does seem a very long, worrisome time between finding out at 4weeks and waiting til 12 weeks , whether you get an early scan or not. I don't get my 12w scan until 9th feb!!!!

Life is nothing short of carp right now and I wish I had never got pregnant. I'm exhasuted every day - in tears - cant tidy or anything so the place is a tip and filthy. My todler is being a nightmare and I'm exhausted chasing her everywhere.Im the mother from hell constnatly shouting at her then crying. If not exhausted I feel sick or am being sick. Ive aske my family for help my sister came over with her bab yand let me caring for him whilst she did painting with Jess. She was meant ot take her to the park so Icould rest in peace! So she was useless. My mum never even answer my pleas for help and has barely spoken to me since October. Useless cow. Last time I talked about it she said I coped alone with you 2 girls so you can too. Talk to my mother in law about being tierd or being sick and she just says your only pregnant. So sympathy whatsoever. No one gives a toss and all I keep doing is crying because I can't cope and have no one to help me. I am never getting pregnant again. Ever! I knew it was a stupid idea in the first place

Oh Rebekah sorry you having such a rubbish time I was feeling like a bad mum yesterday and felt really guilty as no time for DD as I'm too knackered and most afternoons I am just waiting for her bed time even lied about the time a few times to get to bed earlier. She's 10 so I know no where near as demanding as a 2 yo but they never stop needing you. Is there a crèche at a gym you could use and then pop home for a sleep? I've never had any family near me to help so I know how tiring it can be
