Hi all,
Silly I know what you mean about being too tired to cook - almost fell asleep into my curry last night
At the mo I'm eating cereal with prunes (!!!) for breakfast, toastie / sandwich / or soup for lunch and veg curry / fajitas / pasta in the evenings. During the day I eat a few yoghurts and some fruit...
The thing I miss most is coffee. I've kept my morning coffee but cut out the outrageous amount I used to drink so I'm constantly tired (from that and from junior!)
Hope everybody starts to feel better in the coming weeks....almost 1 trimester down!0 -

I was with my doc this morning, said there was no point testing me again because I'd had three positive home kits!
He just took my blood pressure and felt my tummy. Told me that feeling this bad is actually a good thing! Although it doesn't feel like that at the minute.
He advised to take pregnacare as its a multi vitamin and just eat a varied diet, especially fruit and veg because baby needs zinc and magnesium.
Gave me letter for hospital, he said that because of cutbacks etc Kilkenny are only scanning at 18 weeks now. He wasn't sure about Portlaoise, but I chose to go there anyway because its handier for me and work.
The outpatients dept there told me to expect an appointment anywhere between 12-15 weeks.
But lucky for me, a consultant gynaecologist (sp) has just joins his clinic and attends there one day a week. She was a consultant in Portlaoise, but has left.
So he said if I wanted she could give me an earlier scan, but obviously I would have to pay her to do this.
Deffo can't wait for Xmas now, so I can start telling people! And hopefully start to feel better
Sorry for extra long post!0 -

Congrats & welcome to the newcomers!
Baby is the size of a sweetpea or so the What to Expect app tells me, I think the next stage is blueberry, looking forward to that.
My skin is in a serious jock, getting loads of spots similar to when I'm about to get period. I reckon I'll be suffering this for the duration!
My diet is reasonable enough.
Flavans Hi-8 muesli for brekkie (has loads of good things in it like fruit, nuts, seeds, different whole grains etc)
Banana or yogurt mid morning
Lunch is usualy some sort of veg soup (out of a carton not a tin) with 2 Ryvita sandwiches of ham & cheese. Small bit of choc.
Mid afternoon piece of fruit
Dinner is some sort of meat, carb & veg. I make a really good salad with about 6 veg in it & fill up 1/2 my plate & the OH's plate with it. Might have a small bit of choc afterwards.
I have one "normal coffee" in the mornings & then drink decaf tea & coffee rest of day, somes herbal teas. Also drink orange squash (the Hi-Juice stuff from Tesco) as not mad on taste of water from taps. Really I should get a replacement filter for the jug so I'm not drinking the toxins.
Trying to give up smoking
I was on 10 a day & have cut down gradually to 2 and aiming to kick this within the next week or two. It's hard - why did I ever start smoking, I love it too much!
Really finding it hard to stay away from takeaway rubbish in the evenings as I'm so hungry & cold coming home from work & just want comfort food0 -

Morning ladies.
Javagal - unless there is blood accompanied by pain, then you should be ok, but as the others have said, if you are worried, see you doc or EPU to put your mind at rest. Thinking of you - it's a thing we are all anxious about. I am constantly on knicker watch too!!
Kash I am sorry, but I was laughing at you about the butter!!! That is annoying at the best of times, but with all the hormones I can understand why you cried you poor thing! How are you feeling now?
Mamaheidi - we will all be here in August looking for advice and tips - positive thinking and happy thoughts!!!
Cyning - any improvement in the sickness?
Silly - we are still doing the deed, less frequently though I will admit, am still anxious about unsettling everything in there. It does feel different though and I find it even feels different when I go to the loo!!! Weird stuff! :eek:
I am 6 wks 2 days today and this morning my tum seems very big and quite solid to the touch. Slight twinges again, like that stretching feeling. Boobs absolutely killing me, bloody things, I wish I could take them off completely in the evening!!
Bad morning this morning, dropped my soup for lunch and it smashed on the ground, came into work and alarm was going off for an hour before someone could fix it - me head! Then printer jammed and needed toner replacing, then photocopier jammed aswell and it took me ages to sort that!! :mad:
Going to doc this eve to do bloods to check my progesterone again and think I will get my iron checked too as the restless legs are just bananas!
How is everyone else today?0 -
March, I'm laughing at that myself today, yesterday it was a travesty of epic proportions! Best of luck with the doc this evening.
Silly, my hubby was home for the weekend, and normally we would be at it like rabbits - but we were running around so much we didn't have much opportunity, and then when we did get a few hours alone together I had zero interest, I felt too tired, queasy, and achey to even consider it! He's home again in 2 weeks, and i'm sure we can make up for lost time then
Saurelin - congrats on the healthy scan, it's a load off your mind, i'm sure!
I am feeling miles better this morning - of course, I haven't got out of bed yet (i work from home), the nausea is very mild today, and my back is far less sore. Here's hoping all you lovely ladies have a great day!0 -
Silly: I can't bear being moved at the moment so my poor husband isn't allowed near me: at all!! He's not too bothered though: I think hes afraid i'll vomit on him
March11: Afraid not!! Im still finding it very difficult to eat anything and to keepit down... Still off work with it aswell: don't think I'll be back this side of Christmas from the looks of it!
8 and a half weeks today... I'm starting to feel a little bit more confident now 0 -

Your first GP apt to confirm pregnancy you have to pay for. The ones after that are free, the GP gives you a form to fill out at 1st apt to apply for "combined care".
I actually asked OH last night when last time was we did the deed & it's a week & 1/2 ago (we'd normally be 2-4 times a week, sometimes 1). We haven't done it since found out I'm preg. He seems to be a bit put off, not in a "I'm gross way" but some other sort of way. I think once we get used to the whole idea a bit more we'll get back into it.
Got letter from Rotunda for my booking scan in Jan when I'll be exactly 12 weeks. I only posted the GP's letter on Monday morning :eek: I'm impressed.
Booked scan to check for specific problems like Downs, that's right after the Rotunda scan cause you have to do this one from 11.5wks to 13.6wks only. I don't know anyone else at all who's gotten it done in Ireland as it's not routine & not especially needed, it was just something we decided we wanted to do if I got preg. It's a bit expensive so will have to work out the dough but personally will give me peace of mind.
Feeling good today
Good to read up on all you guys too & hear experiences from ladies in the same boat! 0 -

Hi Girls,
I'm 5 weeks and 2 days pregnant now. It's been lovely reading this thread, I've been so worried about things going wrong it's nice to know I'm not the only one This pregnancy has been a bit of a surprise, my husband and I had only been trying for a few weeks. I'm so happy now tho that it has happened. Finding it difficult not to worry about what's happening in there tho, just hope it's all okay 0 -
