have discovered something to help with the sickness - salt and vinegar hunky dorys. Suddenly had to have some at lunchtime and they really settled my stomach. I don't even like salt and vinegar crisps - if they're in the house I'd rather have nothing than eat them normally. Very strange

Brown discharge is usually nothing to worry about, just give the hospital a call if you're worried but i think its quite common in early pregnancy!
Hope everything goes ok x0 -

I've also heard brown discharge is nothing to worry about, that if it's bright red then there may be a problem. If you're still worried though it's always worth talking to the doctor.Hey Ladies, Doctor confirmed im around 7 weeks.

Congratulations! We also haven't told my in-laws because my fil can't keep a secret - feel bad for my husband but that's just the say it is! Hopefully the time until your scan goes quickly, it's so hard not telling people 0 -
Im not liking waking up early especially on these cold mornings... Had a bit of energy today so I have a wash on and a wash out....The MIL is callling later... Shes still in the dark and like sunshiner, dont really trust her to say quiet.... ( i feel bad saying that as i love her really )
So was at the doctors yesterday and Im all confirmed, feels real now. I was to be called for a hip replacement next year so that's out the window. The doctor did advise me that my muscles will now be more relaxed so I am very nervous in case I fall or anything.
How is everybody?0 -

In-laws are funny - I don't have a mother-in-law but my FIL causes enough trouble for two parents!
I'm ok this morning, although I only kept my breakfast down for about 2 minutes which wasn't much fun
Will the pregnancy make your hip feel worse or better Julias?0 -

Hello ladies,
I am on cloud nine. Had my scan and everything is lookin good. Saw the lickle heart beat n all. Have pics of my lil bean. Wow I'm starting to feel very excited now but still nervous. Justpassinthru- I hope you are feeling ok. Have you had any pain? If it was me I would phone ur dr or early preg unit in ur local hospital and just ask. I'm over cautious probably but even just for ur own peace of mind. I'm sure its nothing thou. Murdy Wurdy- uv been havin it rough. I still haven'y vomited thou I hav been close. Smells of thins (everything) is just turning my stomach. Also I have a red rash all over my face. Strange!! Also I've been prescribed asprin low dose by dr who performed scan. Very wary about taking it. Have ran my GP for second opinion but have any of you come across this?
Awh DoubleB that's brilliant you must be floating on air
I don't really know anything about the aspirin part....Sorry!
Congrats to everyone else that got their bfp!
Over the last few days I haven't really felt sick but the tiredness is a killer, Like a few people were saying it's like a hangover!
From today I have decided that I need to eat better, Before getting pregnant I had been in Weight Watchers and had lost a stone and a half and I'm a little freaked out about putting on weight (Which is terrible), I know obviously that I will put on weight but I don't want this as an excuse to eat what I like, So I am going to go shopping and buy lots of fruit and veg and hopefully they will make it to my mouth and not the bin lol0 -

Thanks for the welcome I was ok today until i went to the butcher,i was ok in the fishmonger but the being in the butcher seriously made me want to puke. Tiredness,dehydration,headaches is my main problem... that and stress! Just found a stray dog and trying to find its owner :P
speaking of dogs,i think my dogs knew before me,they been acting all strange and clingy lately in a nice way.
as for inlaws - its not that they cause trouble,my sis in law is pregnant due in january and the MIL had everyone told in a day. I like my privacy too much. best to wait me thinks for the scan etc.
my dad was cute,he cried a little with happiness.0 -

Aww, that is so sweet! A little part of me felt weird telling my Dad (even though he was delighted) because it's like shouting in his face, "Dad - I have sex"!
I haven't had any problems at the butcher or with meat yet (touch wood) but my mum did tell me the other day she fainted at the meat counter at the supermarket when she was pregnant with me. The butcher had a special stool behind the counter for pregnant women to sit on. He said she was the third woman to faint on him that week! I gave her awful trouble when she was pregnant, I hope I was worth it!!0 -

Aw thanks girls for asking.
Docs visit went great, gave me the prescription for folic acid, il have to get my bloods done every month for my underactive thyroid. My right hip (the bad one) is real sore at the moment so im lucky in that i can still do my stretches. She said its in the last trimester is when most women get hip pain so il be looking at bedrest ;( but il worry about that when it happens!
Bar my hip, i had a great day today. Ate little and often, no nausea, brought young cousins to the cinema. The trips to the bathroom was annoying. I think it could have been the cold though! Im just sitting down now and have little backache. Im completely wrecked, hopefully il sleep past 8 in the morning!
OH dosnt understand my need to keep this quiet. I have told my mam as OH travels every other weekend for college and if anything was to happen i would ring her... I agreed to wait til the first week in December to tell family as i should be at the 11 week mark then. Hes like a child he needs to tell someone. Got emotionl earlier as i was explaining to him how important this is to me.
Do ye think 11 weeks is ok to tell immediate family??
I think whenever you want to tell people is when it is ok - it's completely up to you (and your partner). My immediate family (uncles, aunts, cousins, mum, dad and brother) all know already and I'm only 7.5 weeks. It's the worst kept secret in the world. At first I was a bit annoyed but then I thought just go with it and if something happens then at least I'll have my family for support. My husband is waiting until we have the early private scan (in a week) to tell his family but he's asked if it's ok not to wait until the 12 weeks. I can hardly tell him no reallly after all my family know!
So really, whatever you want to do, I say go for it!
Sucks about the hip but at least you're taking it easy and you're aware of it. I know at the time it might be a bit crap but at the moment bedrest sounds like heaven to me
Although I'm feeling better today than I have in a while. Only gagged when I brushed my teeth and had a nice hot chocolate on the way to work. I had mcdonalds for dinner last night. I was craving it so bad and I'd normally only eat it when I'm really really hungover. We decided any food was better than none and girls, I'm not joking, it was one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted!!0 -

Thanks so much for ur quick response. Has eased slightly but still feel horrible. I need to try eat something I think. Yuck!
Hey doubleb
Have you got sick at all? I havent yet and i wish i did to make it more real...
Have you found anything that stops the nausea?
I always said i would wait the 3 months and told OH he was being childish... Im a terrible person!
Just had a warm bath and feel great... Im going for lunch with mam... Have a craving for mash potatoes and theres a place in town that i love 0 -

I take back what I said about grapes - they're off the list. It wasn't pretty I must try ginger things actually and see how that goes. Good suggestion! A woman I used to work with had terrible mroning sickness (she used to go for a sleep in her car at lunchtime which is where I got the idea to start doing that). She wore those sea sickness accupressure band things and swore by them. I'm wondering if that's worth a try? 0

It says in my book i have to excersize, i did a mile lap with the dogs yesterday i felt so much better after doing it. I would be very interested in doing that video double b, i think most gps says to be active, but not where ur pushing yourself. Gentle excersize, i was also considering joining the pool?what are the thoughts on that??
I swim twice a week and im going to keep doing it.... I managed to go once this week and i was wrecked!!! I missed the jacuzzi after it but itl be worth it
I was great yesterday just my back was very sore and same this morning. No nausea in the last 2 days should i be worried??? Or enjoy it before it comes back ???
Hows everyone else. Keeping??0 -

Enjoy the good days julias_jewel :-) after 3 weeks of hell I felt great all this past week, then started to worry why I wasn't sick...but the nausea is back today. So I say on the good days enjoy!! :-)
Also very tired after doing housework, shopping etc. Hoping that'll improve in a few weeks.
Hope everyone is doing ok x
Week 9 for me on Monday. My OH says I'm getting bigger (in a nice way). Am terrified I'll be huge.0 -

Crackers made me feel worse too! I just associate them with nausea now
Hope you're feeling a little better.0 -
So miserable today - I'm just fed up of feeling crap. I was having a right moan to my husband earlier that this was supposed to be an exciting, happy time for us but I just feel so ill all the time. I can't so anything but keep as still as possible so I don't feel worse. I can only hope that it does go by week 12 and I start to feel better, cos so far - this sucks I've terrible cramps at the moment as well as nausea so that's been a little bit worrying. Sorry for being so down, I just needed a moan!
Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I made myself get out of bed to go for a haircut which made me feel better but apart from that I'm lying in bed. My cat has been really attentive which is making me smile - I think he knows that something is up with me and he'll soon (hopefully) have some competition!0 -
Aw murdywurdy - i soooo know how you feel. Im so fed up of feeling miserable too its very hard not to let it get to you. I know what you mean about lying there tryin not to move just cause you know it'll get worse if you move an inch.
My husband is really annoying me at the moment. He's huffing and puffing when i ask him to do things which is really getting on my nerves. I would just LOVE If i could make him feel the way i do, even just for a little bit...just so he might understand a bit better how i feel. I find at the moment everything he does annoys me. I don't know if its my hormones all over the place or what. I've been feeling so ill with pretty much constant nausea for the last month. He turned around lately and said to me....well at least you're not actually getting sick. I could have swung for him! he keeps goin on about what an awful time his sister had while she was pregnant. She had constant nausea but was getting sick with it. He keeps belittleing the way im feeling, its very frustrating. sorry about the major moan. Im genuinely not normally like this i swear 0 -
Aw murdywurdy, that's so crap. Just take it easy and here's hoping it passes soon.
babyonboard: I just think they don't really understand. The nausea is just awful. I never knew it could be so awful. My OH can annoy me by breathing at the mo
god love him, he just keeps his mouth shut when I'm having a moan. I'm sure it'll pass and we'll all get back to our 'normal' selves soon
Mind yourselves girls x0 -
Aw thanks bluesky
Ya i suppose he just doesn't understand what im feeling. I just wish he could show me the same empathy and support that he showed his sister when she was pregnant. Here's hoping he'll start to be more understanding soon. At least ill be able to talk to my mam and sisters about it all soon. Only 11 more days and ill be 12 weeks. Yipee!!0 -

Got the dates for my scan in the post Friday, and they are in late december! I will be over 16 weeks at first hospital appointment? That's not right is it? I tried calling them to query the appopintment date and change the address. ( it went to the wrong address, my old one from last pregnancy, even though the GP letter had new address). No answer all day long in the CUMH. Just kept ringing out.
And i started spotting yesterday, with more today. Freaking out, this didn't happen the last time.
If I am still seeing spotting tomorrow I will call the early preg unit and go in maybe.. Trying not to worry, but can't get every thing that can possibly go wrong out of my mind.0 -

Congrats Jollygood and welcome to the gang! I think everyone has slightly different symptoms. Enjoy the calm before the storm :-)
I am feeling totally miserable today. Nausea and vomiting all day the past two days. Haven't really left the couch. Sneezing non-stop (I have a dust allergy which is well managed with meds but can't take anything til at least 12 weeks), everytime I wake in the night I start sneezing and blowing my nose. Feel like I've had a cold now for 8 weeks. Plus very tearful today. It's just not what I expected. I'd usually chat to a good friend of mine but she is avoiding me since I told her about the pregnancy as she miscarried last year and it's been really hard for her.
What didn't help was my OH saying my symptoms aren't normal for pregnancy!!!
What makes him an expert? He's never had a child before. Ugh! Dreading work tomorrow.
I had to get new bras this week sunshiner. Got some without underwire in Debenhams which are a bit more comfortable.
Good idea MurdyWurdy. No point stressing yourself at work if you're not able for it.
Hope the backache improves Julias jewel. Does anything ease it?
Hope the spotting stops pwurple. Good idea to get checked out if it continues tomorrow. Am sure its hard not to worry.
Here's hoping tomorrow is a better day for us all;)0 -
just a hot water bottle at the minute bluesky... OH is a physical therapist so when he has a few minutes to spare hes working on me... Cant wait until people know and i can go for a proper massage !!!
Definitely get a few days off work murdywurdy and just relax
Congratulations jollygood;) 0 -
I came into work today Hubby thought it would look better if I didn't call in sick on a Monday morning. I'm going to leave early though and get a medical cert from the doc and probably take tomorrow and wednesday off. It's got to the stage now where I can't keep down water. I'm thirsty but I don't want to drink anything to have it come straight back up. I'm was crying in the car on the way to work this morning. I just don't know what to do? I know the answer is there is nothing that you can do. Urgh
I've been wearing maternity bras for the last two weeks and it makes a big difference, doesn't it? Keeps them from being sore during the day which really helps.
Welcome Jollygood - Congratulations! I also had no symptoms at first which worried me but then it kicked in so enjoy it being easy while you can! My best friend's sister is pregnant and she had no early pregnancy symptoms and here's me puking like a demon. Weird how the world works!0 -
awh murdywurdy i really hope u feel better soon, did u try peppermint or ginger tea?you should defo take the time off to recover for a few days.
Hi jollygood,the stomach twinges are normal well thats what my book says, i do get them too, they say lying down eases them. I have the book what to expect when your expecting and its very good. Lots of great information in it.
Hope everyone else is having a good day 0 -

We have names picked out, we can only agree one each for a boy or girl so I think we need back-up options! I feel like I'm having a girl but no idea why - think maybe it's because my husband would love a daughter so much! Is anyone finding out the sex of the baby in the scan?
Miracle of all miracles, I'm feeling a bit better today. I'm at home today to try and recover a bit. I told my boss I was still unwell and he asked me if I had anything to tell him! I laughed and said I did but not yet and he said ok, we had an understanding, that he wouldn't eat around me and if I got bad to talk to him and we'd arrange something to make sure my job was covered. He was really nice and that helped so much. So basically, he knew immediately but was happy for me to actually tell him when I was ready
On the way home I had a craving for starburst, so stopped and got some and then I was actually able to eat dinner alst night! I've been drinking ginger ale (I don't drink tea or coffee, including herbal tea so seemed like a good alternative) and I bought those acupressure bands for my wrists (I normally hate all that alternative medicine crap) but something is working because while I'm still nauseated I can eat - had toast and all for brekkie this morning. Feeling a lot more positive about everything
How is everyone else doing today?0 -

Thats great your boss is understanding!
I drank ginger ale last Thursday and ive been fine since then as in regards nausea and dizzyness... Nothing at all... I know keep asking is this normal but is it??
Back is still very sore and boobs are just a little tender. Yesterday i felt like i was getting my period. Just a bit of discomfort in my stomach and it felt like it was stretching!
I was asleep by 12 last night and woke after 10 nd i still feel wrecked!
Hope everyone has a good day xx0 -
