15 hours with rx meds- I still feel pretty exhausted and gross and dizzy/nauseous, but it’s definitely much better than it has been- I can occasionally get up and do small things rather than spending the entire day horizontal...
While I can’t function close to normal, at least I can sometimes function! ‍

Ugh i can sympathize. I never took meds, but was sick with DD from 6-20 weeks. I was miserable. (Hence why it took me 5 years to have another lol)

Well the nausea has kicked in the last few days here too, mostly in the evening or while I'm cooking dinner! I'm going to try snack a bit more in the afternoon to see if it will help.
Also painful bloating is back, I'm being optimistic putting jeans on in the morning and by lunch I'm in leggings! Lol

Accept it. Just skip the jeans lol. I wore jogs pants with dd from the get-go and this one too. So much more comfortable.

 

[sunnydee]

Haha I know, I should just get out my old maternity jeans it just seems way too early! Still haven't told anyone apart from DH so trying to keep it all sucked in!
Have you told anyone yet?
I don't know when I will tell everyone, I feel nervous about telling people this time for some reason.

 

[TTCBean]

I've told everyone but my parents, lol... mainly because they are the judge-you type.

 

[KylasBaby]

My mom knows that’s it. And that’s because we have a daycare together so had to explain my nausea when I had it and the exhaustion, and you make sure baby has a spot. I’ll tell other family sometime after my 12 week NT ultrasound.
Well and my best friend and 2 online friends.

 

[goneawry]

We haven't told anyone yet. We are waiting to get the NIPT test done in a couple of weeks and then if that comes back clear we will first share the news with our boys, then our parents etc

 

[sunnydee]

Yes I was thinking I'll wait until after the NIPT results to tell people, I'm not going to get the early scan now cause I think they give a little scan at the NIPT at 10 weeks.

I’ve not told anyone except DH and because it’s our first I’m desperate to talk to someone about it but at the same time I kind of can’t be bothered with all the fuss when I tell some people! Is that bad?

Still no nausea so hope I’ve skipped that one but i get the worst cramps, bloating and my boobs are in agony! Any tips?

I also get a bit of spotting after sex btw... the midwife said it’s normal.

Anyone else in England? The heat and humidity is unbearable. Can’t wait for a good nights sleep again.

I’m in the north west and we’ve had storms the last couple nights but the humidity is just unreal. All day in the office with no aircon... I’ve got like 4 fans on me!

Haha, I’ll just have to grin and bare the boobs and bloat. I’ve been walking lots to try and help the bloat and drink loads of water. I might sleep with a bra on tonight... it might at least stop them hurting every time I move!

@alex_22 I hope we do get one and it cools down a lot I'm in teesside so very gloomy out there atm lol xx

 

[KylasBaby]

I’m in the northeast US, but it’s been super hot here too. I get nauseous if I’m outside too long. Thankfully we can air conditioning so it’s nice indoors.

 

[sunnydee]

It's super humid in Ireland today too hopefully doesn't last too long, my SIL is in London and said it's been awful there.

Peppermint tea has been helping with bloat

I had my dating ultrasound, bang on with my dates! HR of 175 bpm. Saw the yolk sac and the umbibical cord! It was so fun.

I scheduled a private 3D scan for Oct 1, I'll be 16 weeks and we'll find out the gender!

Glad it went well! I’m debating a private 3D ultrasound for gender. I had the sneak peek and I have my appointment Friday with my OB so she’ll tell me what blood tests I can get. I’ll have a quick bedside ultrasound too. Then next Friday I’ll have my formal NT ultrasound. Then anatomy between 18&20 weeks. I’d want to bring my daughter, but all 3D places around are only allowing 1 person over 18 to go with. Sooo might skip that.

Sorry been mia the rental I’m in flooded ankles deep last night (I repel houses now car drove in ours, hotel we are staying in gets burgled and now the rental we stayed in got flooded (over a metre of water outside so surprised it wasn’t worse!) but while rushing to grab anything electrical to move up to higher ground I fell down the stairs. Got an early scan today and thankfully baby was fine could see the heartbeat. Husband couldn’t come in and they wouldn’t give a picture but least all is good.
