There you are Shinning Star! Hehe!
What horrible weather Portsmouth has been having huh!! Think it was sunny on Saturday but thats about it!

Well, saw midwife last night who was lovely! She took bloods etc to test for lots of random things, Should receive date for Nuchal Scan in the post very soon she said anywhere betweek 11 - 13 weeks. She asked where I would prefer to have the baby (St Mary's, Home or Blakes) I chose blakes as it is soo chilled out and is run completly by midwives which is great they also have a birthing pool if I wanted to choose that route, husbands are generally allowed to stay with you until around 11pm there which is also great!

She did say if anything crops up in the pregnancy that she thinks I should go to a main hospital then she would advise me as and when, but she said after I have had the baby I am allowed to transfer to blakes within 6 hours if I wanted. They will also be doing another blood test around 20 weeks to test for diabetes (my mum and my nan have it) and becuase my BMI is 31 (they test anyone over 30).

Got given lots of Info to read through and also detials of Antenatel Classes, One of them is a Aquacise (strtches etc to get muscles ready for birth) follwed by a Class/Talk, and work have to let me have time off for that as it is classed as an Antenatal Class! LOL their gonna love that..... 'just going swimming' LOL!

Soo all quite exciting! Cant believe I am 10 weeks tomorrow! xx

Oh Chrissie, I'm so sorry to hear your news.

Before joining this forum, I never realized how truly hard it is to conceive and carry a child to birth!

Hey All,

Hope everyone is feeling ok.
Just a little update from me.
Over the last couple of days i've noticed that i'm not quite so tired, i can last until 10 o'clock before i pass out instead of the 9
MY nausea seems to have eased alot also. Hopefully this is the beginning of the "blooming" stage everyone talks about in second tri.
Any one else experiencing this?

 

[journey]

My nausea has eased slightly but I can't tolerate ANYTHING sweet, even food that's not typically sweet but may be high in carbs, like potatoes. All I can tolerate to drink is water, which is healthy so that's a good thing. Some days I'm more tired than others. I can't wait till all of this passes!
