*** Weds 1st Tri ***

Morning! 

Whooo Scan today! Fingers crossed everything is ok, im very nervous but excited at the same time! Thinking this may have to be my last day here, as im 13 weeks today! Where did that time go?!

Oh im so worried, i feel like im living in a bubble and its going to pop soon! I really dont want it to!! 

Ok, so question for today **thinking**ummmm.......Whats your biggest worry about having a baby after you have given birth?! 

I think mine is mainly the finance, I worry all the time about money and can be a complete control freak!  so just worried we may struggle. Also the sleepless nights, Im hoping that its not too bad (Wishful thinking?!)

P.s Hope u dont mind me starting all these threads, just im up early for work! PJ xx

Morning PJ. Scan day! Woohoo! Very exciting. Hope you get some lovely pictures. Let us know how you get on.

I've been very naughty this morning and pulled a sicky. Although, am feeling completely shattered and exhausted so really could do with the day off tbh. I could have gone into work but wouldn't have been much use and I have a student teacher at the moment so wouldn't be doing anything except paperwork anyway. I've never pulled a sicky before and feel a bit bad. Tell me it's ok! Woke up feeling a bit sicky again but breakfast has eased it. Just going to spend the day resting in hope that I'll feel a bit more awake tomorrow.

As for the baby question - money is my thing too. I want as long as possible and even with savings, I think it will be hard adjusting to not having my full income coming in. However, I know that whatever happens we'll cope and if push comes to shove, I'll have to go back to work earlier. Always a solution I feel.

 

Hey everyone

Good luck for your scan today PJ, how exciting! Mines in 2 weeks, time is flying.....

I really think i'm starting to turn the corner in getting better, still not great but a little brighter. I cant believe i'm a week into it and still not been out of bed for more than a couple of hours at a time still throwing up at random times - 2am this morning was the last time.

I should have been having my booking in appointment this morning but there's no way I could have gone. God knows when i'm going to do it.

My biggest worry this time after i've given birth is looking after a 3 year old and a baby!

Hope everyone has a good day

10 weeks today!

 

Glad you are starting to feel a bit better Pops. Wishing you a full recovery asap though.

Hope u feel a bit brighter BB! Totally understandable, u need ur rest!! Ur body is working very hard the moment, don't feel bad at all!! Pops - glad u think u are over the worse part of it, but hope u recover 100 % soon!! A 3 year old and a baby does sound like a challenge!! When myy mum had me she had 3 under 6 and a baby(me) - what a crazy women!! Even though she says it was tough, she would never change it now!! We are all so close!! Pj xx

Morning all!

PJ, yay, scan day!! Hope all goes really well and you have a lovely time looking at your gorgeous bub! Let us know how it goes, and if we don't see you again on here, look forward to catching up with you on the 2nd tri thread!

BB, it is perfectly fine to pull a sicky if you don't feel like it! A day relaxing will only do you good, and you've got to take good care of yourself, you're doing another very important job at the mo, growing a baby! Don't feel bad in the slightest. Have a lovely day relaxing.

Pops, fingers crossed for a corner turned for you, really hope things are easing as it's so flippin' wearing feeling rubbish, isn't it?

AFM, booking in appt this morning, yay! Although not really sure how it's going to go, as I don't like the MW, she was rubbish in my last pg (I swear she missed my PE) so am going to ask if I can have my care at my local hospital, as I work there (gosh, I sound like a right wingebag!) Feeling OK in the mornings, but more and more rubbish as the day goes on. At leasst I can escape to bed at night though, around 7pm at the mo!

My biggest worry after I give birth is my little girl feeling left out. She's an absolute superstar, a really good girl but we don't have much family, and certainly no one close, so we're going to rely on good friends to provide support, I hope she's OK with that. She's baby-mad though, so if we work hard to make sure she's really involved I'm hoping she'll be fine.

Hope everyone has a lovely day, sending out anti-sickness thoughts to those who need them. x

8 wks today!!

Pj you have to update us on how you get on and all the luck in the world today, enjoy you get to see your baby!!!! Sad your leaving though couldnt we all just graduate together !

Boogie fair play to you, look after yourself sounds like the ideal day for cake and coffee !

Pops i cant believe how your going through it atm i do hope you are turning the corner x

Chaos bunny good luck with your appointment, i was horrified at mine, she weighted me so i had to take my shoes off and my toe nails nailvarnish was chipped so ashamed thats a pet hate of mine!

AFM, Im queesy but not too bad. H said to me today im not half grumpy in the mornings. No sh1t, brains i hate mornings anyway add sickness and aches to that and no im probably not my brightest!

Good question. dont want to damoen things but mine is PND, i had it bad last time and like chaos said i too have the most perfect little boy in the world and dont want a baby or mummy going round the twist to change him

Morning all

Pj - scan day whoohoo what time is it? come back and tell us all about it ;)

BoogieBelle - Nah it's not too bad, i'm a teacher too i'm currently off sick *have been since end of last year) due to an injury so thankfully i'm hoping by time i go back after hald term i'm feeling much better!!

Pops - I was sick in the middle of the night too! Hope you re arrange your booking in appointment soon!

CB  - Hope your booking in appointment goes well, i can't see why you won't be able to change to hospital :) good luck let us know how it goes!

Sineadw - lol about your H, my H said to me last night i forgot about the terrible burping you had last time it really drove me mad! red flag to bull - i was like well what about your snoring that has kept me up for the last 2 nights! Hope your feeling much better soon chick!

Afm,  well i'm not too bad, feeling sick, back ache, all the usual. I've started tmi burping loads, it's driving me mad, doesn't seem to be affected by what i eat or drink just really bad burps but mainly in evening? any ideas anyone? Dr's appointment went well yesterday was in there for ages, we chatted about alsorts, birth, pain relief *for now* etc etc. She has said she wants me to try without an early scan but if i am still really concerned she will refer me to one. She also told me to fill in my maternity excemption form and congratulated me and was saying how she felt she knew there was going to be one very excited big sister!! When i asked for the form at reception, she gave me the biggest smile and congratulated me again and told me she was really excited for us.  I feel so very lucky our Gp surgery is amazing, Hubby said they really make u feel apart of the community! H has said we must send a 'praise' letter in to the surgery manager as they are always wonderful none of this 'horrid frosty front' receptionists :)

 

ramble ramble!

Worried about my Lo not being my 1 and only baby, i'm worried she will feel left out, i'm worried how she will cope with me not being at home for a few nights (more thank likely having c section) but as CB said she is baby mad so i'm hoping it won't be too hard!

good luck at your scan today pj - hope 2nd trimester treat you well too.

and to answer the question of the day - probably child care and finances but could run the list on for pages to be honest.

bb - dont feel bad for going off sick today - especially if you've never had a sick day x hope you get the relaxing day your after.

pops - hope your back to health again soon. x

cb - good luck with the midwife today - what a downer that you already dont get on with the midwife, i think id change surgeries to avoid going through another pregnancy with her.

sinead - im a at the moment, im blaming my hormones and im esp grouchy in the mornings too,

afm - still feeling tired and sick, tummy is bloated, boobs are so sore and keep waking me up everytime i move and im such a moody to H at the moment - he's being very understanding and letting most things go.

got my booking in appointment on friday which im really looking forward to -(just to make it more real)

oh and ive told my mum - didnt get a huge reaction from her - just a smile and said shes pleased - but she then proceeded to talk to my boys about it (i havent told them) so had to tell her to stop.

7+4

aw maybebaby - your drs sound lovely. glad your appointment went well, and yes im another with horrendous burping - and i just cant help myself - i hate people burping and now its me but dont get me wrong im not full on burping out loud like a teenager just little ones that i try and hide.

TMI ALERT* sorry maybe i cant help you with the burping as its not that type of wind problem im having atm* runs back to the shadows embarrased*

Your doctor sounds fantastic, you should write in about her people are all too fast to write in with a complaint im sure that would be really appreciated.

Jade, whats your mum like not sure im expecting much more though! I told the b&sil our lo wasnt to know for ages and ages yet but they persisted to talk about it infront of him!

sineadw:

im suffer a little bit in that respect too

it went a lot better than i thought - i thought she was going to put a downer on it and criticise so im lucky i got that response. i dont mind talking about the pregnancy around them just not questions or statements aimed directly at them - mum said 'aw boys your gonna have a baby.' so i said no mum they dont know and im not telling them for a while yet - so she said 'so boys do you want a baby brother or sister'

How funny her persisting to ask which flavour they wanted, i suppose she wasnt technically telling them was she !

Yay,good luck with the scan PJ,let us know how you get on x

BB - Totally understand,i was off sick tues with dizziness and just felt shattered,luckily i only work 3 days a week so its my day off today,i do have to go back tomorrow but debated wether to or not! Hope you get some rest today x

Pops - Glad your feeling abit better,but hope you feel loads better soon x

CB - Hope the MW appt goes ok,you don't sound like a wingebag at all,if you want to change to hospital care then thats up to you.Iam the same,i always feel ok in the am but absolutly rubbish by the end of the day.

sinead - Iam rubbish in the mornings too,hope you feel better soon x

maybebaby - Your doctors surgery sounds really nice,glad they're looking after you.Iam burping lots more too

jade - Hope you start to feel better soon and get a good night sleep without waking up.

AFM - I have my booking in appt this afternoon,i still feel abit dizzy and headache,iam sure i need to drink more but i've never been a drinker,i can have one glass of juice or water that will last me all evening!So iam trying to force myself to drink more to see if that helps.

The thing iam most scared about is our little family unit will change and that my little girl will feel left out and change,coz shes so good and a sweet little thing,iam worried it could upset her.Oh and that i have to look after a baby and a 2 year old
