Due In May :)

[robinson380]

I am right there with you all---very nauseous!!! It comes in waves were I think "oh I feel better then it hits me like a ton of bricks." I have still not vomitted (thank goodness) and I do not know how! I bring peanut butter crackers, pretzels, and lots of water to work with me, but I want to be home lying in bed so badly! We can do this ladies only a few more weeks!

I'm totally fine with people suspecting at this point. A few of my teammates on my swim team already guessed when I stopped playing water polo, anyway. While we're on the subject, is there anyone here who is an athlete also?[/QUOTE]

Hey Stevensmummy - I run half marathons (I actually ran one two days before I got my BFP) and was training to do a triathlon next month. I was swimming with a masters swim team 3x a week and running/cycling 3x a week. Because I've had two m/c and one chemical pregnancy, I've dialed it back quite a bit. I only run 3-4 miles twice a week with my son's cross country team and do easy swim workouts on my own twice a week.

Robinson I'm just the same! This morning I felt sick slept on the sofa for a bit, nausea settled but as soon as I started getting ready it came back. I've had it most of today but there's moments where it settles and I'm thinking 'oh it must be over for the day' and nope it comes back. I couldn't finish my tea because it returned...had felt really hungry and the food smelt amazing but after eating a bit I had to give up

Yeah we can do it! Our bodies are built for this job!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Not an athlete but I'm a dance teacher xx

That's awesome. Are you still teaching during pregnancy?

Yep, obviously will take it easy tho and avoid jumping around like a loon lol, but it brings in a few extra pennies so I will give it up when I'm big and fat lol! X

Hey just saw ur from dorest wondered where abouts as im just under 6 weeks and live in wimborne

 

[Starry Night]

Ugh!! I started spotting bright red this afternoon. It's only when I wipe and it comes and goes but it looks like I'm going to have a similar pregnancy that I had with DS. Once/if my scan confirms I'm still pregnant I'm going to have to put myself on bed rest again.

 

[Powell130]

Fingers crossed your scan shows a healthy bean!

AFM - I felt my uterus growing earlier, for about 30 minutes. It was really cool feeling! Now I have a small baby bump

 

[Megan1986]

I am not feeling too many symptoms besides being exhausted all the time! I am having some nausea here and there but it has been better the past few days. Lots of trip to the potty as well. Feeling good overall. How is everyone else feeling?

btw: 15 days until I get to see my Bitty on the ultrasound!

 

[mathgenius33]

Getting through work today was kind of a challenge due to feeling nauseous all the time. It gets kind of worse every week. I took a short nap right before lunch and it helped me get through the day. I was able to eat all my lunch but still felt hungry and low on energy all day.

I find it helps to eat when I'm not super hungry, but the problem is I'm a college professor and sometimes I don't have a choice of when to eat if I'm in the middle of classes.

Oh well, it will all be worth it by May.

 

[Megan1986]

I agree. I am trying to focus on the fact that it will ALL be worth it when I am holding my little baby!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Hope everything is ok starry fx'd for you xx

 

[Hann12]

Starry I hope you are okay, really hope you don't have bleeding throughout like you did last time!

With you all on the sicky feelings! I barely slept last night too. Need a big sleep!! Hoping my DD is on good form today!

Hey did you mean me?? I'm in ferndown not far! Not from the area originally but I love it down here

Also ladies, I got my seabands today. So far so good but I've only had them on about 10 mins lol. Nausea not completely gone but bearable. Gonna try some breakfast and see how I go! Felt so so sick this morning

 

[Hann12]

I did too Jary! I'm not loving food at the moment! I think I'll get some seabands too, I don't remember them being a big success last time but its worth a try.

 

[Rozz1e1]

Ooh Powell good luck with everything! I know things are different over the pond but Iv had two scans so far..mainly due to me being stroppy and saying I know my body you dont...etc lol! but Im also due in May, on the 6th am very happy and also very tired!! Lots of loves and luck to everyone

 

[Jary]

They have taken the edge off. Only problem is I'm supposed to be bare below the elbow at work do I don't know if I could ask for permission to wear them and just take them off if I'm doing anything like washing a patient etc

But tbh I'm mostly doing drug rounds and paper work and then IVs in between! So busy!

hi wow that is close im 25 next week just married in may n freshly back from honeymoon at the weekend...dont know any pregnant ppl as we are from forest area not wimborne....is this your first baby?

 

[Jary]

Rozzle...yep qualified in september last year and been working at my job since February. It's a good job but boy is it ridiculously busy. I've been enjoying my two weeks off after the stress everyone's been getting. Lol but such is life!

And yeah seabands use acupressure...got mine from amazon. They don't work for everyone but I think they are defo worth a go. My nausea is much more bearable...still feel sick if I think of chocolate tho so I'm trying not to!

Kpnut, where are you from originally? I'm from near Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. And yep first baby! First grandchild for both my mum and OH's parents
