[Claire1]

Good old mums eh coco!!! Where would we be without them. Your not far at all,
I have a friend who lives in plympton.
Hope youre feeling better again.

I just had a bit of a funny fives mins, cryed over something really silly, feel quite emotional today. Blimmin horemones!

 

[Snugggs]

Ello ladies,

Hope you're all having a great day

My hormones have been terrible too. I cried on and off for 2 hours yesterday much to OH's amusement lol, I do see the funny side though..... Luckily for oh

I can't stop bloody eating! Anyone got any thought on how I can stop... Other than tying my fingers together lol

Xx

Afternoon ladies,

Snuggs, don't worry about your eating. I'm eating double the amount that I was a few weeks ago, but I never ate a lot to start with. When I saw the midwife last week she said not to worry about eating every few hours as it will probably keep my morning sickness at bay. I can't not eat as I start going very faint and weird.

Hope everyone else is ok. I have had a busy weekend so far, trying to relax when I can x

 

[Coco14]

Feeling much better thanks Claire! I hope you are OK? Look at the state of us!!

My b/f is being very good and patient! went for a walk in the country this afternoon, b/f is currently painting the living room and having family over for dinner this evening!

Hope you are taking it easy Pinky.

Snugggs, I have dried fruit and low fat snacks like crackers as I am eating constantly!

 

[padbrat]

Thank heavens I am not the only one eating non stop! If I don't I feel sick....

Last time I was pregnant I had a massive craving for Mini Cheddars.... was bizarre.... couldn't get enough of them. Was eating about 5 bags a day and I still managed to lose 3lbs...

So please don't worry about the eating thing... xx

 

[sept10]

i'm definately snacking more but trying to keep it healthy!! I feel pretty conscious about the food i'm eating like its impact on a growing bean!!! Also been having disturbed sleep with really sore boobs/chest at night time and then not surprisingly very tired throughout the day.....at least i'm off work tomorrow then on hols next friday!!!

 

[Claire1]

Glad your feeling better coco, a walk can help wonders sometimes.
I'm not feeling the hunger thing to badly at the moment, when I do i've got a thing about grapes at the moment. At least its fairly heathly, and I def dont want chocolate...which NEVER happens ha ha.

 

[Snugggs]

It's nice to know i'm not the only one who's snacking then

Thanks ladies for replying. When i have felt nausious, a small snack has curbed it. Maybe subconsiously that's why i'm reaching for food because for the last few days my nausia has really curbed..... excuses, excuses lol

I have to tell you all too, i'm a UK size 22 and as you maywell guess everything has just gone loose and round (i look 5 months gone!) and already my jeans aren't fitting me. BUT, the point of me telling you is, i picked up THE MOST COMFORTABLE PAIR OF TROUSERS yesterday .... ASDA's maternity range do a pair of over the bump yogo trousers, £9.00!!! bargain. They do come up big though, i only needed a size 20

So sorry about your loss Trixie but congratulations about your January bubba!

This is my first pregnancy and touch-wood it'll stick. I've gotten two BFP's on CB digi's saying 3+ weeks on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, and a Dr's appointment on Friday to confirm. Wishing all you other January mummies-to-be a h&h next 7 or so months

 

[9babiesgone]

really hate hate doctors!!! had a bad experience yesterday!!

 

[trixie79]

what happened 9 babies???

well i was away the weekend and im dying of the cold....i have a sore throat and feel like death warmed up!

anyone else have this???

i vaguely rem having this last time.....but i still have no symptoms....i dont feel preggers at all!

 

[sept10]

Trixie - i kinda don't feel preggo either - despite sore boobs at night, waking to the the loo and the fatigue its still surreal - i think maybe when my body starts to show some changes or when i see the gp or the mw maybe it will feel more real then....its the strangest feeling to rub my tummy and know that there is a little bean growing in there.....just can't get my head around it!!!!

 

[sept10]

any girls from the UK here go to the gp ..... i have an appointment with the mw at my practise for when i'm 8 weeks but made an appointment with the gp for tomorrow aswell - the gp doesn't know what the appointment is for and i'm worried i'll show up and say hi i'm pregnant and he will just say .... yeah and? .......what are your experiences? what questions should i ask???

he may just take a urine sample to confirm, so grab a bottle before you go in....

if you have a history, mc etc , you can discuss any concerns you have...

mine wants to see me as soon as i have my next scan so if there are more than one he can refer me to a specialist!

 

[Coco14]

Sept, yeah that's kind of what my doc was like! I said I was hoping she would do a test and she said what for, 'you did 4 and they're all pos, I think it's safe to say you're pregnant'! But gave me some advice, checked my prescriptions and referred me to the MW. I would still go for peace of mind

 

[padbrat]

Yep that is pretty much what the Docs say... they may briefly run through foods you aren't meant to eat and stuff like that.... but they leave most of it to the Midwife to go through.

I am under the care of an Obs Cons so I don't even bother to go to my Docs, My Cons books my scans and gives me my meds

Yep I'm feeling totally the same, throat has been closed every morning since Wednesday! Slowly throughout the day it gets better. As for breathing my nose is blocked one min and running the next I cant keep up!

Went to the chemist and I'm not allowed anything, just have to suffer!!

 

[Snugggs]

There is one thing you can have chick, Buttercup Syrup. GP told me i could have it after chemist said i couldn't have anything. Personally i think the chemist say that so that any liability doesn't lie with them.

It's very mild and if nothing else it will at least soothe your throat a little. Try mixing some honey and lemon with some boiled water too. Drinking that cooled will help too

_______________

I haven't even managed to get close to my GP yet. The receptionist would only book me in with the midwife. The date she gave me worked out that i would be 8 weeks! When i realised this i called back to try and get an earlier appointment as i felt i could be high-risk catagory and they managed one for this thursday.
My surgery is terrible for that. You can't get near a GP without the receptionists say so. Anyone think she was a bloody triage nurse lol

[Pinky12]

Evening ladies,

Sept- I went to my docs last Thursday and she went through some things with me and then told me to book in with the midwife at reception. I dodt and got an apointment for that day but it was a bit of an anti climax reallt. She did a urine sample to check for protein etc but just asked some of my history. No one confirmed it for me, no tests, nothing. I have to for some paper work to come through and it will have my next appointment on that apparently. Bit gutted by basically nothing happening but I suppose it will have to do! Hope your appointment goes well

Trixie- Hope you start feeling better soon hun.

9babiesgone- I hope you are ok, doesn't sound too good about your appointment. Let us know if we can help with anything

Hope everyone else is ok and have had a fab weekend I am just sitting down and relaxing after a busy weekend. We told our close family about Pippin this weekend so that was good. Can't wait to see something concrete like a scan... suppose 6 test wasn't enough to convince me

 

[5-a-side]

There is a warning on Buttercup for pregnancy but I think its more due to being alcohol related if you take copious amounts of it, but Thats what I'm having to relieve a cough thats driving me mad. Hope you find something that helps.

Well yesterday was a week passed since my BFP and its now sinking in. We're excited and cant wait for our scan (which could be about 6wks away) Not heard from MW yet but its still early days probably wont have book in appointment until about 8wks. Just feels like being in limbo land waiting.
