Tinker I'm really sorry to hear your IBS is getting bad I hope it eases off soon, even without medication they should be able to recommend something you can do/eat to relieve the symptoms a bit?

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Vanilla that's outstanding

My dh and I have the same routine, but I leave for work at 5.45 so dh has to get Xander up and dressed every day. I get a bit cross when he puts the wrong coat on lol. I'll cut him.some slack from now on!

Sorry to hear about your is ladies Hope you're both feeling better soon.

Tinker belle I feel exactly the same I'm spending all day grazing on foods that will help my nausea. As the days go by less and less is helping though. I'm eating so much toast bread crisps - everything bad for me and I feel I'm gaining weight which I HATE
I can't drink barely anything without feeling off. I've had far too many fizzy drinks recently and it's getting me down now. I was always a banana and water for breakfast type of girl and now I have to have toast before I even get up or I'm ill. I just don't want to be the size of a house!!

On a positive note I had a scan today - baby is very cute and measuring 7+5 so almost spot on with my dates xx

I've just bought a load of sparkling water. I'll mix it with sugar free cordial instead of having pop

That's what I always do too. It tastes so much nicer I think knowing its caffeine free.

So 1st booking in midwife appointment today! My old midwife has just retired so it was with someone completely new, luckily she was lovely. It's making it all seem very real!

I feel terrible though, it's so strange.. up until 7 weeks I felt great- no sickness, not tired ect. Then exactly when I hit 7 weeks suddenly I'm so tired and feel so so sick all the time and can barely eat anything. My IBS has also got really bad, the midwife said this is due to hormones and should sort itself out after 12 weeks. I hope so as I can't take the medication for it.

Mine is also really bad. I don't know how yours effects you but at the moment I am almost afraid to eat.... Cos ya know.. what goes in. Haha. Ughhh

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Thanks ladies

I pretty much just drink very cold lemonade at the moment. It's funny because earlier on in my pregnancy I was complaining it was hard to cut down on teas and coffee, now just the thought of drinking them makes me want to throw up!

Rhi I know what you mean, I'm okay if I'm staying in the house all day it's just going out and about that's the main issue, nothing worse than being in the middle of the shops doubled over in agony and needing to find a toilet asap haha.

 

[Boo44]

Tinker belle everything you say I could write! And we're due only one day apart too I can't face tea and coffee now either

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Glad it's not just me Fingers crossed it's a thing of the past by the time we hit 2nd tri.. I don't know what to do with myself in the mornings because usually my first go-to would be making a tea or coffee which would sort of set me up for the day so it feels strange!

I'm also put off pretty much everything we usually have for dinner and most nights can't even stand to cook the dinner for DH and DS, so DH has probably done more cooking the past week than he has in a year!

 

[Boo44]

Oh I'm almost completely useless these days on an evening my exhaustion is awful and my nausea gets worse too. I'm in bed now at 9pm for the second night in a row. I pray to god these symptoms relieve soon

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I know what you mean, I think my DH can't wait either, the amount of stuff he's suddenly having to do lol! At least he won't take me for granted when I'm back to normal (I hope anyway haha) x

 

[Squig34]

Glad to hear your scan went well Boo did you get a pic?

I'm off tea & coffee too; I have been for a few weeks. & smells. Oh the smells. It's so much more acute this time. I've just finished baking a cake for a family party on Saturday, & the smell of all the chocolate

This is what I'm hoping for too

My sister just said she could try and see the sex on Dec. 23 so we can announce to our family on Christmas. I'll only be 14 weeks though so not sure if she'll be able to tell

 

[tinkerbelle93]

It's so cool your sister is an ultrasound tech!

I don't think personally I would announce a gender based on what was seen at 14 weeks.. I'd definitely ask her to have a look and give you a guess but I wouldn't announce to family members incase you have to re-announce later lol x

 

[mrs.green2015]

I'm also completely useless. I used to do so much for hubs. Making his lunch, dinner, cleaning, laundry. He was very spoiled (although he works almost 70 hours a week and my job is pretty flexible) now I'm either exhausted or nauseous. I can't even go in the kitchen without wanting to die. Plus i swear this uterus stretching pain is very painful. It's not cramps and doc confined it's getting larger causing the pain. So basically this is a pretty rough pregnancy for me so far. And I think by the end of the 1st trimester hubs will either be starving or so sick of fast food he'll never eat it again. Lol

 

[mommyxofxone]

Has anyone started thinking about the tests to see what gender? Like the baking soda test? Lol I really want to do it but wonder if it's too soon. Did it with dd and it was right-did a week before we found out that time though. Really wanna do it now lol!

 

[mrs.green2015]

I don't know about that one. But we're doing all of them. I was plan in on researching it more next week to see when you do each one.

 

[mommyxofxone]

You take 2 tbs of baking soda and pee on it. If fizzes boy and if nothing girl. Don't know when you can start thought.

Hey ladies,

Sorry I'm so late to the game but hope it's ok to join you all? I'm taking things a day at a time and quite cautious due to two previous early losses, and I managed to completely miss that there was a June bumps thread, someone just let me know about this one when I started a June rainbows thread. Haven't even updated my signature yet, but I'm 7+4 today and trying to be more positive! Due around June 20th I think. I have a private scan booked for tomorrow which will hopefully show things are on track and make me feel better.

Hope you're all ok! xx
