Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 4!!

penguingirl

Sorry to hear you're struggling so much vanilla, I hope it improves soon!

I'm feeling very pleased as I went running this morning! Helped out at my running club's beginners group so it was nice and slow, but I did nearly 5 miles in total. I really enjoyed it and feel really refreshed for it. How the nausea has improved I'm going to try and do a bit each weekend, and looking at pregnancy pilates midweek.

Hope everyone has a good weekend

Thanks for the Congrats everyone still doesn't feel real. Every time I go to the loo I'm expecting to see blood - I had spotting for 4 days last weekend (before I got my BFP) and had a little teeny spot yesterday too. I'm trying not to panic! My lower belly feels quite tight and every now and again I get an uncomfortable pain, not quite a cramp, that goes if I adjust my position - anybody else had this? No sickness yet but waves of nausea throughout the day which go away when I eat something. Going to ring my GP on Monday & see what happens in my area!

Have a good weekend everyone - hope those feeling sick are no suffering too badly xx

Glad to hear I'm not the only one suffering with acne. Hopefully it clears up soon for us all :rotfl:

Roz I wouldn't know much about spotting, but the pain your feeling in your lower stomach area could be your uterus expanding. I was quite sore for a while, but my midwife reassured me that it was normal. I think spotting could be the same, but I wouldn't quote me on that.

Penguin, glad to hear that you managed a run. I wish I still ran but I haven't since I fractured my knee a few years back. I think I'll stick to weights for now. I'm also looking at a pregnancy Pilates/yoga class but struggling to find something in my area.

Vanilla I have my form all signed and ready to go, but I'm waiting until my scan before I send it.

Roz- I had terrible stomach cramps from about week 3 (thought it was AF on her way) until about week 6. But seems entirely normal. It faded as the nausea started! I was offered an early scan at nearly 10 weeks as we had a tiny bit of spotting, but I'd had none until then. Speaking to your GP sounds sensible. Apparently about 20% of healthy pregnancies have spotting so not uncommon.

April, I'm going to do pilates from YouTube- I've done it before so feel quite confident with my technique and there's lots of pregnancy ones out there.

Thanks everyone, wow penguin can't believe you managed a good run! No exercise for me since finding out. Hope to get back swimming or a gentle run soon.Need to find out it my gym do any pregnancy suitable classes for yoga.
Rox I had cramping and sharp pain/stitch but didn't last very long.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend, I need to attempt to do some cleaning tomorrow!

I'm going to try and keep paddling in my rowing boat for as long as I can- until my balance goes and bump gets in the way anyway.

How's everyone doing? Any appointments this week?

I've got a aversion to most meats started last week, bleurghh!!
Also anything too greasy and some other stuff. I'm ok with chicken and I'm glad I can eat some tuna as I'm finding that on a jacket potato is a good lunch for me.
My first appointment is next Thursday. So far first trimester feels like it's going reasonably quick.
How are you doing Ratison and everyone?

I noticed the other day that I've got loads of little bumps on my chest and shoulders/upper arms. Very odd. I'm assuming hormone related somehow! Food-wise I'm still eating mostly normally, but having to go for small portions in the evening. Had a few nights where Andrews salts have been the only saving grace!

Still 2.5 weeks to go 'til my appointment - though I am supposed to have been into pick up a 'bounty pack', whatever that is?! (I can't help hoping it has a bounty in it, though I'm almost certain to be disappointed). Surgery only open until 6:30 Mon-Fri though, so I've simply not been able to get there after work thus far.

Newthrift - gosh, you are having a bit of a time of it aren't you! Glad you've managed to find some things you *can* eat

New I get the whole meal thing. I struggle with meat just now, mostly the smell but it puts me right off eating it. I seem to manage on turkey bacon, and cold meat. Getting protein is a bit of a struggle for me the now.

My first trimester seems to have dragged, 12 weeks today and still another week until my scan. Actually counting down the amount of sleeps I have left. I am itching to tell people, instead of having to make excuses for my lack of coffee, or why I look so tired these days :rotfl: I have let it slip to one or two people, but as I said to my OH its hard keeping this a secret, I've had to keep it secret for 9 weeks now ha. It doesn't help that my OH best friend's partner is also pregnant, shes a few weeks further on than I am, and they had their announcement etc but even they said by the time that came around they had very few people who didn't know. I feel so bad for wishing my life away, but I can't help it.

Firebird I think the Bounty pack is a pack with maybe samples i.e nappies and vouchers if I remember correctly. I'm sure that's what was in my sisters a few years back.
