Good luck, @tdog!

@Nixnax lovely scan pic! So glad you had a good experience and got to hear the HB.

@MrsKatie what did your nurse say?

 

[WannaBMamma7]

@MrsKatie hope the nurse has said everything is okay.

@Nixnax awww so happy for you. Bet you’re so relieved now

@tdog good luck with your scan xx

I am hungry ALL THE TIME. I had 3 weetabix for breakfast, which is a ridiculous amount I think. Then went swimming with my 2yo and was so hungry when I got back, I had four slices of toast. And I could keep going.
Ravenous. I do not recall this from previous pregnancies

 

[MrsKatie]

@Nixnax beautiful picture! Congratulations!

the nurse never called me back so I guess they’re not concerned? Sure would be nice to hear back though! No blood at all and I talked to a friend who had it too while pregnant so hoping it’s ok.

Has anyone else not told anyone yet? I find myself telling strangers in shops and restaurants but I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t really want to tell friends/family but I don’t know why. I was excited to at first but I think I’m worried people won’t be happy for me like I’d expect. My dating scan is 23 September so we are going to start telling people after that but might tell some after we go for our private scan this weekend. I’m just dreading it now.

How far along are you? I told my mom at just before 6 weeks bc we own a day are together and I wasn’t feeling well then. But no one else until after my 12 week ultrasound.

I’m 10+2 so getting closer to 12 weeks when we were going to tell everyone. I’ve just not even told anyone we were going to try in case there were any issues so it’s just going to be a big surprise. We don’t really like it when people share the news on social media either as we’d rather do it more personally but I think it’s just going to be emotional how everyone reacts!

I told my friends only because another friend announced she was pregnant (just found out) and it felt weird not to. I’ve always told them straight away. But we haven’t told anyone else and won’t for as long as possible. I actually find it really awkward telling people. Just like “hey fancy an update on my uterus?”

Haha I think that’s part of it. I’ve got no idea how to tell them. Wish I’d grow a massive bump so I don’t have to and they can see for themselves!

Yeah with my first pregnancy I just never said anything (apart from to close family and friends) until it was really obvious and people were like “is it ok to say now that you’re pregnant?!” to be honest a lot of our friends we don’t get to see much atm anyway, with everyone haviby work and families, so quite often we just leave it until the baby arrives and then go “oh we had another one”.

 

[sunnydee]

I hate telling people too, we have told family and some friends, I only have a few more that I want to tell and then I'll just let the news travel that way haha

What is normal weight gain for first trimester? I don't think I gained in previous 1st tri but this time is shocking!
I've been more nauseous this time but must be eating more junk than I thought!

Glad it’s not just me. Feel like I’m being a little ungrateful but I don’t really like being centre of attention haha.

ummm I think it’s just a couple pounds for first trimester. I’ve lost 4/5 pounds cos of the nausea and struggling to eat but I bet when I weigh myself after Greece I will have gained! Maybe just try and get some walks in?

 

[sunnydee]

Panic over haha I weighed myself again this morning and was back at normal weight, phew! Must have been the scales off or maybe just extra bloated after dinner! Won't be weighing myself in the evening again that's for sure! Lol

Yeah I don't like being the centre of attention, even when I got married there was less than 20 guests! I would've actually preferred to elope!

 

[doggylover]

I have to constantly snack until about 4pm to keep the nausea at bay. So I’m gonna be a whale soon

 

[sunnydee]

Me too I've been eating so often and mostly carbs is the easiest thing to curb the nausea too

 

[MrsKatie]

In the morning i could pass for not pregnant... but come 3pm? Watch out. I can’t go anywhere it’s so obvious!

There are terrible wildfires here and they’re evacuating the neighboring cities/towns. One of my friends just lost her (brand new, just moved in last month) house a couple days ago. The air is so bad here it’s dangerous to be outside, the kids are losing their minds! Just hope we don’t have to evacuate and it rains soon. So on brand for 2020!
