Same here Jules! This is totally different than my first. I feel so rough and have so much sympathy now for women that have felt this way every time through multiple
pregnancies. Hope you (we!) feel better soon!

 

[CertifiedOreo]

I was just thinking, the reason I might be feeling better might be because I started taking vitamin B12? I guess that helps with nausea so maybe?

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

Oreo, it's totally normal for symptoms to come and go. I had a day last week that I wasn't nauseous but then the next day was a rough one!

 

[AmberR]

Yep, I've had nausea come and go from day to day, totally normal!

 

[mickels]

I know exactly how you guys feel. I've had fatigue come and go, also had one amazing day when I didn't feel pregnant at all (no nausea, fatigue, cravings) and the next day all the symptoms were back with a vengeance (good thing it was a Sunday or else I would not have made it through as easy)

Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well, it’s so lovely to hear so many of you getting beautiful scans and heartbeats

Sorry I’ve not been posting much recently, work has been manic, and after being all ‘hope my first tri is a breeze like last time!’, well, it’s not been, haha!

The nausea and tiredness, not to mention my food adversity’s changing on a whim (like between deciding what to make for dinner, and serving it!), have caught me totally by surprise-I’m almost 10 weeks now so hope it goes soon.

Related to that, wondering if any of you ladies have had adverse effects to using Pregnacare vitamins or similar? I’ve been taking them for a month now, but I was away with work The last few days and forgot to take them with me. I just popped to the chemist and got some basic folic acid, and it’s really just dawned on me that over those two days I had no nausea or fatigue at all, despite being on planes trains and automobiles

Has anyone else experience this at all?x

Last night we found out the gender of this baby via Sneak Peek Test. It IS 99% accurate, but part of me wants to wait until our early gender scan next month to announce! What would you guys do?!

 

[Dandi]

I’d probably keep it to myself for a bit longer. I don’t know why, maybe because it feels like it will extend the fun a bit. We found early with my first and kept it for ourselves until about 15 weeks.

I'm so rubbish with secrets, I wouldn't probably intend to keep it quiet but end up blurting it out, haha!

This is the reason that we are staying yellow again!

Exciting for you though! Why don't you just tell us and see how it feels

 

[Jules8]

We did the verifi test with my daughter. I found out over the phone so I made a fun scavenger hunt to announce to my husband. He had no idea I even knew til he saw the first clue taped to the front door. It was so fun and made it special! We kept it a secret til the 20 week scan and it was actually nice to have that little secret between us for a while.

 

[Catmumof4]

Hey I'd probably blurt it to someone I'm awful like that. Team yellow here too xx

 

[xCookieDoughx]

Yeah i have no control and would tell the first person I saw haha!!! Wish I could get it done but it’s just too expensive here. Got about 5-6 weeks until I can find out though so not long! X

 

[imaginary8x]

Hello can I join please???

Had my scan today and my due date is 8th September.

 

[Peonies83]

Welcome, imaginary8x!

 

[amytrisha]

Welcome & congratulations imaginary!

 

[mickels]

Hi and welcome imaginary. We're secretly hoping for a girl as well

 

[mrscletus]

Welcome and congrats! Hope everyone has a great weekend

CertifiedOreo, with both of my pregnancies, I’ve only had morning sickness/nausea between 6-8/9 weeks. I’m 11 weeks now and it’s pretty much gone. I am utterly exhausted and go to bed really early but that could also be down to returning to work this week after a year off for maternity leave. I felt a little queasy out of nowhere this morning but it went when I had breakfast. I’m so lucky.

 

[Lightning7]

Yeah i think i could probably keep the secret but hubby defs couldnt haha. He would say something by mistake.. also i might even just by calling it he/she all the time. I already call it he or she hahaha just randomly and half the time dont realise im doing it.

Team yellow for me as well

13 WEEKS!!!!!! This is amazing. I cannot believe after all the trying and losses that this is actually happening. I have to continue to pinch myself.

I am feeling great thankfully after a VERY long weekend. I had an all-nighter on Saturday as a chaperone at a middle level "lock-in". It was a lot of fun (I had volunteered before I found out I was preggers and couldn't pull myself to cancel as they were short handed already). I took many naps yesterday, went to bed early, and feel pretty much fully recovered. My 11 year old on the other hand is having a hard time bouncing back.

I am certainly starting to show now, and put on a few pounds. My mother in law has been great in hooking me up with some great maternity tops and dresses, but I will be going this weekend looking for pants/bottoms. I just need to try that stuff on I think.

Hope everyone has a great week, and I can definitely feel little pumpkin moving around in there now.
