Aw sorry to hear you been so unwell vaurissa! hope it passes soon!

Waves, I ended up buying pickles today hehe and pickled onions!

I was very very close to vomiting in my car so I got the pickled goodness and got OH to open them cos for some reason I struggled to open them too! and instantly my nausea left me, probably from the shock of intense sourness! It was great! but now that I have feasted on pickles, pickled onions and crackers I am starting to feel tired and queasy again boo hoo

Hahhaha nice! I had a couple more just now myself! Definitely helps with the nausea and tastes so good. What is it with pregnant women and pickles?!

 

[zephyr]

It really does my nausea went away right away and I was fishing round in my car hoping to find a bag under the seat I was that close to losing it!
I am not going to eat anymore pickled onions, just pickles. onions make me wanna spew so bad and right now it smells/tastes like someone shoved onions up my nose and its making me feel yuck. shame cos they were very tasty hehe

So my doctors nurse rings me today and says unfortunately I can't go through the hospital so I do have to go with a midwife now which is okay no big loss I am just terrified of getting a really bad one like my last. I am trying to get hold of the one I used for my first two kids as she was nice Fingers crossed she can take me on!

On a confusing note though, my due date may be changing! I just dont know! I am pretty sure mine is right because I was temping and fertilityfriend gave me my date but my nurse said going by my notes and when I rang etc they think my date is more likely the 4th of may! and thats quite a difference between the two so I will probably be having a scan when I see the midwife, which I'm not complaining about at all but I thought I had the right dates. so confusing.....but they are pretty certain that I couldn't possibly have gotten a positive that soon and that its more likely the 4th of may. Hopefully I get sent for a scan this week.

I got my midwife appointment! she has free spaces for May and isn't on leave!! yaaaaaaaay! what a relief! seeing her tomorrow at 9:30am and going to ask if she can send me for a scan yaaaay!

 

[wavescrash]

Congrats on the midwife! Good luck getting the scan

It's strange to me that you guys don't automatically go through the hospital. I go to my ob/gyn and can't choose to have a midwife or not. My doctor suggested that I may not have had a chemical last month and was actually pregnant that whole time so my due date would change too. I don't think that's the case at all and that I'm right on track with 6w3d but that'd be nice. It's always exciting going forward in pregnancy haha.

 

[zephyr]

oh wow that would be strange too! going through all that only to be told "Wait a minute!"

Yeah we have midwives who you usually see, you pick one out and they have their own rooms where you have visits but when it comes to the birth you go to the hospital and the midwife takes care of you there.
Hospital care imo is much better but they only use that for complicated or high risk pregnancies. My doctor said that he would try and get me referred because of my miscarriage but they wrote back saying nope sorry.

Very strange aye but nevermind, our healthcare here is very cheap or in a lot of cases sometimes free so I shouldn't really complain too much :/

Hi ladies, sorry i havent been on for a few days... had my OH's son with us at the weekend and he was poorly so didn't get much time to be on here. I've updated the front page to include all the new ladies. Welcome and H&H 9 months.

Sorry to hear about all the morning sickness with some of you ladies - I still have nothing!

Hoping - thinking of you lots - let us know how you're getting on.

I have my first appointment on Thursday. Looking forward to it now. I'll be 6 weeks by the time I see the doc, so half way through the first tri! Really looking forward to getting out of the first tri! Then I can relax and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy.

 

[freddie]

It sounds like a few of you are really suffering with the sickness, I'm like you anti, I still have nothing. Although I can join in with the pickles obsession lol!! But that is not just when I am pregnant, I am just always eating pickles!!! Strange I know...

 

[anti]

The only thing I can say is different with me is that I am so thirsty these last few days and needing to wee so much more! Things are starting to taste different as well... In a way Id like something to reassure me that Im pregnant, but on the other hand, I dont want to be throwing up when I need to get the train to work everyday.

How do you ladies feel about finding out the sex of your baby? My oh said he doesn't want us to find out - and while I think that is quite a cool idea, I'd really love to know before its born

 

[zephyr]

I usually have the odd craving for pickles too but what I did find now that I am preggers was that my taste buds were more urrm tasty? it was like an explosion went off in my mouth

Lucky you guys have no sickness yet! hopefully when you's get it, its not too bad!

 

[zephyr]

I found out with my first and it was great cos she was a girl which is what I wanted! my second I kept it a surprise and was so sure she was a boy so when my daughter was born it was like another whole surprise getting used to a sex that I really didn't expect!
Found out with my 3rd because at that point I couldn't wait to the end to see if he was a boy!
Now I really want a boy so my son has a brother but I'll be happy with a girl too!
I do want to keep it a surprise again though! The excitement of not knowing was really awesome. really hard to resist asking though!
OH wants to find out so I don't know, trying to tell him the benefits of not knowing, at this point it may go either way

 

[bumpin2012]

Hi ladies!
I realy didn't start feeling ill until just before the 7 week mark. Hopefully, you ladies who aren't feeling ill continue to feel well!

As for finding out the sex, im team all the way. OH says he doesn't care if we find out or not (followed up with "it better be a boy" lol) so Im waiting. I love the surprise, and im hoping it will help me through the hard part of Labour and Delivery...

 

[sharon0302]

Well, I am totally exhausted, dozed off on the sofa at 8.30pm last night! And yet this morning feel like I could sleep another 12 hours, can remember feeling the same way with my first so shouldn't be too surprised. Going to ring my doc on Wednesday to get things moving just felt like I should wait a week after BFP to make sure it was really happening!

 

[rjsmam]

Hiya ladies!
Sorry to hear for those who are suffering from the dreaded ms! No ms here either but I’m still v early. Had loads of cramps though which are easing – I worry about the cramping – then worry about the lack of cramping ! Also had a v sore neck although suspect this is a head cold – boo..

I don’t get any apmnts til 8wks – argh the waiting! Am doing ic tests everyday to try put my mind at ease although these aren’t getting much darker or if they are it’s v gradual. I have another digi stashed which am trying to save for the wk end in hope that I’ll see a 3+ as I’ll be over 5wks by then.

[RBurnett]

Oh im feeling soo sick but not been sick. Got a private scan tonight to hear baby heart beat..hopefully! x

 

[Lollipopbop]

rjsmam - I'm the same! I worry about cramps and when they went, I was like.. where are they!?! I get them every so often now. No ms yet. My first MW apt is at 8 weeks too xoxo

Bumpin - I definitely see the advantaged of not finding out as it is a lovely surprise but I don't have the strength to wait haha and I'm a organisation freak so I can't wait to find out so I can sort out all the clothes and room etc Doesn't help that I'm not a fan of yellow!

Rburnett - Good luck today, hope it goes well. Keep us updated! xoxo

someone at work just opened up a box of stinky cheese!!! that nearly got me! I can still smell it and its really not good. Might have to get out of here coz that smell will make me sick! after having dia-blah-blah last friday, and not being able to go since then - im now suffering from constipation. From one extreme to the next! haha. Loving this pregnancy thing... just want a scan now so I can se my bubs.

wow, let me tell you...being tired all the time and have m/s doesnt mix well with also having a 14 month old. I was so tired last night that I let her sleep in be with us, and she still got up at 630 this morning. I know I cant be letting her sleep in bed with us because I dont want to have to break that habit, but she wakes up so much at night, I'm beside myself with exhaustion! I could probably fall asleep on pavement right now I am so tired.

 

[bumpin2012]

Jessicamarie: Ouch! I dont know how you manage to care for a LO feeling like this!

Lollipop: Im not really a fan of yellow either, so Im focusing on lots of greens and whites for now. I really dont need to get coloured clothing yet, baby can wear white diaper shirts at the beginning, I'll buy as I need. I painted the room a pale olive green, as it is currently a guest room and will be using white/cream bedding for the crib. there is a part of me that would like to know, but its been convinced by the part that wants the surprise!

Rburnett: So exciting! Let us know how it goes at your scan!

something is seriously happening at work. I have a horrible feeling something is happening and its not going to be good. Ever get those feelings at work?! To be honest, I want to stop working next year to be a stay at home mum, but right now I need this extra money to pay stuff off asap. As it is all my money goes straight onto bills and debts. I know we will cope if this job goes down the drain, but its starting to wind me up a bit and not sure how to let it all go, coz I know I shouldnt be stressing!
