Ab I feel for you - I had pelvic pain with Mia. Had to wear a belt from about 20 weeks and limped about everywhere. Couldn't sit very long, couldn't walk very long. Felt perpetually kicked in the tailbone.
She and I are just back from our first nursery settle visit. She was fine, happy to play with new toys/water/draw while I filled out a ream of paperwork. She wanted two cuddles, once when she tripped and once when a little boy took a train off her. Got the wobbly lip too that time! You can't laugh though when they take such things to heart. Off to pick up Matt from his second day of University. He's actually doing a pre-starter induction week this week. Just a few days of lectures for people who have been out of formal education for a while. He's enjoying it and it's good for him to be out and about with adults again after being stay at home Daddy for so long.
I'm fine. Bit nauseous on the approach to mealtimes. Am not as tired as I remember being early on last time - or maybe I'm just used to so much less sleep/me time. Work has been hugely stressful this last few weeks but I have a new person joining the team next week which will hopefully help.
I'm going to the doctor this afternoon to see if I can get a medical exemption from my jury duty (week after next). I don't think I can cope with anything else going on in life at the moment and I'm terrified of getting sick/not being able to go to the bathroom. I'd be delighted to do my civic duty, if only you could volunteer at a time in your life when things weren't mental. We'll see what doc says. He'll either have had a wife and understand morning sickness or he'll be a dick who doesn't and just say no. It would certainly help free up some head room for me!
I've told my mum, my brothers (they live with mum) and my dad. We won't tell anyone else till after our scan. I have to call the midwife today for a booking in appointment. Been too bloody busy to do it yet. I feel mentally less involved with this pregnancy so far. Last time I called the midwife immediately and started reading the books immediately and this time it's kinda 'oh, I might get round to doing that a week on Tuesday'. Life's just too busy, and we haven't experienced the bleeding drama we did last time, so it's all a bit more sedate. I'm hungry and enjoying eating while I can, just in case the 24hr nausea rears its ugly head again.
Betty, any news peeps? I do think that stress messes with our cycles. I was 3 weeks late at Christmas and it was diabolical. Especially testing negative throughout that time. I really feel for you and have everything crossed there's magic afoot!
Tina, how's Evie? You had any recurring signs of that bug/jiffy tummy?
Frisky, I think we all understand the mental hormone thing. If I had a penny for every time he's not been in the mood and I've totally broken down with 'you just don't want me anymore!!' - pregnant AND not pregnant! You're carrying his baby which will make you just the most amazing being in the world to him. And remember it's temporary.
There's been no nookie since conception for us cos one or the other of us has been bloody ill! Coughing up a lung here and there doesn't breed the romance. Definitely need to work on that.
Tina, ever thought about a career change to gynaecology? You must be pretty dexterous - or I've got short ass arms - I've never been able to feel my cervix ever. Thankfully, I've never much had the inclination
OK ladies, off to enjoy some of my forced annual leave as I'll be writing a report for work tonight (due tomorrow annual leave or no annual leave). Costco here we come. Exciting times.
what is going on??? I will be 5 days late tmrw and I have been cramping for ages now, even this morning I took 2 paracetamol and put on an always as I was convinced she was on route! I'm never late, I'm always regular and my last few cycles have been 28-29 days and I'm currently CD34. Ugh, really rubbish or what?????
