June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[tinkerbelle93]

Ended up cancelling my GP appointment this morning! I woke up really tired and just couldn't face it, it was for 9:40am and the doctors is good 45 minute walk away which my son would need the pushchair for which is so heavy and the walk is full of steep hilly streets. So I'm going to rebook for next week when someone can watch my DS.

Exactly 6 weeks today! And yesterday was exactly a week after I tested. It does seem to be going slowly though.

Hi, it was a group of 5 of us, 3 of us had donr it all before so OK, all stuff I already knew really but she did mention that there's a free physio class on offer at my local hospital for pregnant women helping to teach pelvic floor exercises and prevent joint and pelvic pain which sounds really good. It was nice just to talk and think about pregnancy 'in real life' and made it all feel more real!

I felt sick and hungry on the way home, so bought a tub if Pringles and ate the walking along... I must have looked sooo pregnant!

My mum has today off work as half term started early so shes taking Micah swimming now, and later she's going to watch him while I visit my friend who is also pregnant with her 1st, 6 weeks ahead of me. She knows so that'll be great to talk about everything more.

Just a side note: not only do I love connecting with you ladies as we are all going through the same things but i just love reading how you all write as I'm in the states ha!

AngelofTroy - I'm glad the appointment well I'm not sure what it is about pregnancy and crisps! I made DH bring me a big bag of cheese and onion last night

A group appointment? Wow that's new to me! Glad it went well Angel , that's fantastic that you get free physio for exercises, wish I had that the first time around. Your trust must be quite ahead in maternity services (or mine is way behind the times ha!).

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Always amazes me how different each trust can be =). Glad it went well !!

Girls, feeling sorry for myself. I had a sandwich with me for lunch, but my colleauge mentioned having stew and of course, nothing would do, I had to have stew. I had no money at work with me so my lovely husband went to the shop and got me some and brought to me at work. It wasnt warm enough so I went to the kitchen to heat it up and when I took it out of the microwave, I dropped it all over the floor. I could have cried

I feel like routine is everything to me right now. Like I rely on my daily ritual of work, lunch and a nap with DD to psyche myself up for the day and anything that tries to change that makes me nervous. I'm not usually like that but I think since that routine has made me feel pretty decent most of the time I just feel like I need it. Dh called shortly after he left for work and wondered if we could run some errands about a 30 min drive from here with him right after we get off work today and I just really don't want to do anything different that takes away my nap time! it's so frustrating to me that this is the way I am right now but I have such a hard time shaking it. I also still have zero motivation for anything outside my daily routine and so much I need to do. I hate going to work almost every single day but if it weren't for working a few hours a day I probably wouldn't accomplish a single thing but lounging in bed watching movies with dd or something. Ugh!

I spoke too soon today I suddenly feelt really awful .. nauseous.. which I can't stand was sick breakfast sp I knew I needed to get something in me when I could to line my stomach a bit again.. weirdly few hours on it went again and I managed a crisp sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed it I'm struggling with the eat little and often as I just eat what I feel like? Might not be doing sickness any good but I just want to make sure I've got something in my belly I guess.

I can't wait til its gone now 100% rather be sick then nauseous and nothing happening it's horrid I feel a bit of relief after being sick.

I guess we will see how long it lasts usually every weekend I get worse I've noticed

Question (because I don't remember much from my previous pregnancies).... Does anybody else have a 'heaviness or fullness' feeling in their vagina? Weird right. It almost feels kinda swollen.. But (tmi) it isn't I checked. Its not painful at all just kinda annoying. Is this just one of those early pregnancy things?

How's everyone? Today at about 4pm I got a sudden surge of energy, which I haven't had for two weeks at least. I'm not tired like I need sleep, just feel like all the energy has been zapped out of my body. So I made the most of it and got some house work done. I've been doing the bare minimum every day. I've got behind with my washing and the kids rooms are disgusting, but all done now.

I've also managed to eat a hotdog today! Which is good because I've been living off brown bread and apples. Of course now I am feeling good ish, I'm worrying something's goen wrong. First Tri is soooo testing!

 

[SecondNote]

Oh my goodness I am SO hungry like ALL the time the past few days. I can't get enough to eat. Every time I feel hungry I start to feel sick though.

I agree it's so hard and lonely I find.

I still feel really good and totally normal, struggling with the caffeine limit though.. apparently you're only allowed the equivalent of 2 cups of tea per day according to babycentre? I'm used to having loads of coffee so that's hard.

1st tri is dragging so much! I'm lucky not to have symptoms but it's just the anxiety of wondering if something is off, plus it's so hard not to tell anyone. We're living with my parents for at least the next month and its so hard not to tell them!

 

[joeybrooks]

I am going to be the size of a house. I constantly feel hungry, even though I shouldn't, and when I feel like that I feel sick, so have to eat. I'll be rolling into second tri at this rate!!!

I gained 60lbs last pregnancy. I'm hoping not to repeat that

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I was tiny in pregnancy, gained around 14lb in all and pretty much no obvious bump until 30 weeks, I would have liked to have looked pregnant though! X

 

[lynnikins]

a regular cup of instant coffee is about 57mg of caffeinne as black tea is about 40 mg per standard drink.
brewed coffee from grounds is about 100mg a cup, they used to say 300mg a day now they are saying 200mg a day for a pregnant woman,
I swapped to decaf which is about 5-10mg per cup

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Ah okay maybe babycentre are overestimating, 2 cups of tea per day seems so little! Hm haven't thought of decaf, I love the caffeine kick though! I think I'll stick with a coffee in the morning and another in the afternoon and cut out tea.

Does anyone have a nickname for baby? This one has become 'baked bean' our son was 'bumblebee' but it stuck through the whole pregnancy and when he was born it was difficult using his name and not calling him that at first!
