My libido was not quite what it normally is but I was still enjoying sex every other day. On Friday, I spotted a bit and now I'm scared to, even though it didn't trigger it. I'm going to err on the side of caution for the next few weeks I think...

Oh man ladies I've had a headache for days but I've also been sneezing alot aswell I don't no where to put myself the pressure xx

I’m sorry love. I’ve had a headache off and on. I remember having them NASTY with dd. Ive been sneezing a lot too, but my allergies are bad during pregnancy. So no help lol. But I can commiserate with you.

 

[KylasBaby]

So I thought we (DD and I) were solid on Ella for the baby’s name. Yesterday she said we should name her Violet. Today she wants Amelia...I’m sure she’ll have a new favorite tomorrow. They’re all names I told her from my list, but still lol. Guess her name is still up in the air.

Also these jumped in my cart when getting some things for DD. Got both in newborn and 3 months

Oh my how cute are they we haven't even thought about names yet we never agree on one anyway with my headaches I had them so bad with my boys aswell with Heidi paul had so many symptoms heartburn sickness tiredness and he has them symptoms again this time, he didn't have any with the boys but we are set on staying team xx

 

[KitteyKat2010]

We are actually staying team yellow (except for me) I will be finding out the sex without DH and anyone being in the room. We have a "private" ultrasound set up the end of November. I will know, so I am able to plan and get things the that baby needs, the only "neutral" items I will get are the bigger items like highchair, carseat, swing, etc....I will be able to buy boy/girl clothes when I find out, and since DH is gone almost everyday that I'm home, I will be able to keep that secret from him

Pregnancy headaches are the worst! I had them so bad with my boys, less so this time around but still get the odd one. Hope you feel better!

Ah they are cute!! Can’t wait to buy gender specific stuff

Names - we never agree on names! Took us ages with the boys. This time around I’ve started early, I have a name for a girl that I’ve had forever but for a boy will be super tricky. We have a few but none that I absolutely love!

I have been feeling so sick recently, really need the nausea to go a bit now. Also so tired, yesterday I had a 2 hour nap and could’ve easily slept right through until morning just a couple of weeks left until the glow of 2nd trimester!

 

[Nixnax]

I can't wait to start buying things. We've agreed to no start buying until around December.... we'll see how long that lasts.

I had really bad cramping last night, all seems fine today.

Ugh i have a 13hr work day today, 9:30am to 10:30pm. This is going to kill me.... someone in work messed up. I'm on the late shift and am only supposed to be doing 2pm to 10:30pm but someone thought it would be good for me to do a training course and then my normal shift..... not cool.

 

[doggylover]

With Heidi i was obsessed with sex if he didn't give me it I would think he didn't find me attractive anymore I got to the point if he hadn't touched me in a week I'd get pissed with him now I'm at the point where I tell him to piss off atm xx

this made me properly chuckle!!!

those outfits are so adorable. I also love all your name choices. For dd1 Amelia was a strong contender here, and I’ve always loved Violet too!

I’m struggling, ladies. The nausea is just 24/7. The only thing that stops it is being asleep, so I’m going to bed with my toddler at 7pm just to get a break. I’m trying to ride it out until 8 weeks before I ask for meds. I waited until 13 weeks with DD2 and the Dr said I should have come earlier. But I feel that at 6 weeks it’s too early and they’ll tell me no. So when I phone to get myself referred to maternity I will ask for anti-sickness meds then because I am struggling so much.

I’m so sorry you’re dealing with that too- I’m still in the midst of it. I caved exactly at 7 weeks, called in, and immediately got a Rx. It didn’t help a ton (I still feel miserable- just not heaving). When I went in for my first visit at 8w, the doc added a second rx to try to help... i still feel crummy on it too, but they are better than nothing?

totally struggling to function. And totally exhausted (the meds make me even more tired- it’s tough). Praying it leaves with the first trimester, but yesterday was the worst day yet... for the moment I’m “ok” (still feel awful), but I usually do slightly better in the mornings...

All that to say- won’t hurt to call. Can only potentially benefit.

 

[tdog]

So have my 12 week scan and genetics testing booked for 9th so can't wait now xx

 

[KylasBaby]

Got my first thump! Not sure if it was a kick or her just moving, but I was sitting bent at the waist with my arms on my legs. Her highness #2 didn’t appreciate that lol

 

[WannaBMamma7]

@KylasBaby awww that’s so nice! How many weeks are you again?

@tdog thats not far away at all. Bet you’re so excited!

I feel for you all with your nausea and headaches. I feel like the periods where I don’t have nausea are getting longer and I’ve definitely got more energy than I did at like week 5/6. Week 10 for me now! While it was nice to be away on the weekend, I feel like work distracts me so much more from my symptoms. We are meant to be going Greece on Friday and I hope the nausea improves some more by then so I can eat out more normally! Been loving cool salads and fruit recently... just can’t do hot meals. Just had a mango and peaches for tea .

Is anyone starting to show yet? My clothes are definitely getting tighter! I’m hoping work doesn’t make us dress formally again as I don’t think any of my clothes will fit me and I’m not prepared!

Yay! Not long to wait for that!!

Aww! So sweet! You’re feeling things quite early aren’t you? I hope I feel something earlier than my last pregnancies. Took me until 17 weeks with my second (19 weeks with my first).

Yep!! Definitely showing, can’t believe it. Just over 9 weeks and it’s right out! I swear i still didn’t look pregnant at 21 weeks last time!! I think the constant eating is probably not helping things

Haha yeah I definitely think my craving for carbs the last few weeks has added to the size of my belly! 21 weeks??? I swear my mum used to day she barely ever showed but I don’t think I’ll be like that going off the current size!

At least you’ll get good use out of your maternity clothes this time round!

Oh no, I’m sorry you still feel so bad even with the meds. I found they worked ok last time, just took the edge off enough for me to go about my day normally, but I definitely knew when it was coming up to time for a tablet! I ended up taking them until 28 weeks last time, and I’d hoped not to be so bad this time but it doesn’t look that way. I hope it ends for you soon, it’s just horrendous.

That’s so soon!!!! Can’t wait to see a few pics!

No way, that is so exciting! There are few things as wonderful as baby kicks

I am definitely showing. I mean my tummy wasn’t flat before, but it’s definitely rounded now. You can see it under a T-shirt and I’m only 6 weeks I’m hoping it stays this size for a good few weeks or else I’ll be out of my maternity clothes by about 20 weeks! I always get a massive bump though, even with my first my bump was enormous (and she was a normal size baby!)
I hope you feel better for your holiday, and able to enjoy it and the food. Its great that you’re starting to have more good days than bad.

13+5 with baby bring almost a week ahead.

I’ve been showing for weeks! Though to anyone who didn’t know it probably just looked like some quarantine weight, but this week it deffo looks like baby. I showed early with DD too. Rocking the maternity clothes for about a week now. So much more comfortable.

Aww! So sweet! You’re feeling things quite early aren’t you? I hope I feel something earlier than my last pregnancies. Took me until 17 weeks with my second (19 weeks with my first).

I felt DDs first proper kick at 17 weeks, but had been feeling movement for a few weeks before that. So a bit earlier, but I hear you feel earlier with subsequent pregnancies.

 

[sunnydee]

@KylasBaby Ah that's wonderful you felt a kick already! I felt flutters pretty early about 13 weeks with my DS, but my DD (second pregnancy) didn't feel anything until about 18 with anterior placenta!
Hoping to feel something early this time round, I've been feeling a bit off the last few days so I booked a private scan for tomorrow to reassure myself.

@WannaBMamma7 Yes my clothes are definitely tighter, I've just been in leggings the last few days and feel better than trying to squeeze into my jeans!

@tdog not too long till 12 week scan, exciting!

 

[WannaBMamma7]

@KylasBaby im hoping people think it’s quarantine weight with me too! Especially with all my snacking at work... they probably think I’m losing the plot as I never snack!

Thanks @doggylover! I’m starting to realise the clothes that I thought would hide my belly arent the best as some of them proper hang on it and reveal the bump more than some tighter clothes. It’s not as easy as I was hoping!

Btw is anyone managing much exercise yet? I want to try and at least be walking more but the weather looks to be rainy for the foreseeable! Going to try and go swimming a few times a week but who knows if I’ll have the energy!

 

[tdog]

Awww thanks ladies I'm really feeling the love on this post it's amazing I've felt little movement but I did say could be wind but this is my 7th pregnancy but 6th take home baby (hopefully) I'm definitely showing but I always live in leggings lol xx
