    Hi All

    I seem to ranted last week and never got to write anything else since. Tiredness is my big thing, I'm fit for nothing in the evenings around 8pm and my sense of smell, wow, it's terribly annoying... most things are making me gag... even my boyfriend, what ever deodorant he had on the other day, I just couldn't be near him, up until then he thought it was funny but when it happened that he was making me gag, he was very upset. oops
    I'm gone off tea, has this happened to anybody else? and my love for cream crackers has gone up a notch!

    Still have sore boobs, get a few cramps and some back pain most days, which are uncomfortable come bed time, lots of tossing and turning. Headaches seem to be the new thing this week, fairly intense headache last night that I took to the bed around 8pm. All in All, I feel I can't really complain, I'm doing good again, after the stomach bug last week, which I wouldn't wish on anybody.

    How is everyone else?

    Gone off tea, as in the beverage? Would you be a big tea drinker? I went off tea with both pregnancies, but had to force myself to have three mugs a day - if my caffeine levels dwindled, I'd get ferocious migraines, which would leave me getting sick!

    Yes, tea the beverage... I mostly drink Green Tea but I couldn't handle that and normal tea or lemon tea, aren't working either. I wouldn't have been a big tea drinker but I would like a cuppa in the evening with a chocolate biscuit... I've gone mad on orange juice.

    Well the orange juice is good, helps absorb iron properly :)
    I'm starving but can't find anything suitable for dinner for 1! Abi is getting spuds and gravy with some brussell sprouts and OH won't be home for dinner, feel like it could end up being biscuits for me :o

    I always say I can take a lot of crap in pregnancy, but morning sickness would cripple me - I HATE vomiting :(
    Power to you for not quitting work entirely and hiding in a hole wallowing in self-pity (exactly what I would do if I even got sick once :pac: )

    I'm just out and she said i've Hyperemesis gravidarum aka the extreme morning sickness. She wanted me to go up to hospital to go on a drip but I've two other girls so we compromised I'll rest for the next few days and try and drink plenty of water (fingers crossed i keep it down) & see how i am next week.
    At least I'm signed off work for the next week.

    How's everyone feeling today?
    Hitting 14 weeks on Monday! Plenty of movement, get at least 2 strong pops a day and have heard heartbeat with midwife as well :D
    Starting to show quite obviously despite the extra weight, so it's great to be free and easy with those tighter tshirts again! :pac:
    Still feeling great, just a bit tired and hard to satisfy the hunger!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 769 ✭✭✭annoyedgal


    Having an early scan tom, think I'm somewhere around 10 weeks but unsure so will be good to get some more accurate info. Pretty anxious about it, just really hope it goes well and can relax a bit then and tell the parents. Must be great to be 14 weeks and not keeping it a secret!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,528 ✭✭✭ShaShaBear


    It's a great relief alright! Helps that I've a good support network so I'm getting extra help when I'm overly tired and need a rest!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 769 ✭✭✭annoyedgal


    Had early scan today. Due date pushed back a week until 27th Dec! I'm just hanging in there on the Dec 15 thread! 10 weeks tom, all looked well and good strong heartbeat. Delighted! Can relax a little and tell the parents.

    Great to see everybody is doing so well...bar some unavoidable symptoms! Really looking forward to reading about the first scans, mine isn't until Tuesday week but I'm more comfortable now I'm into the double figures in the weeks! I've lost the run of myself completely with eating so have decided June is going to be a healthy month! Biscuits, crisps & ice creams are being banned & replaced by fruit & veg! I've put on completely unnecessary weight so need to reel it in...has anybody experienced similar or got advice on repairing the damage without risk!??

    I'm getting movements aswell!! Its very reassuring :)
    My morning sickness finally left me sunday. am feeling much better now thank god! besides back pain i seem to get at night when im lying down.

    How is everyone else feeling? xx


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,528 ✭✭✭ShaShaBear


    Finally I've hit Trimester 2! Can you believe it!?! I know I can't!
    Pops and kicks all over the place, starting to sort of tell when I might get them. With the extra weight, I do have to sit a bit funny to feel it sometimes, but nevertheless :pac:

    Very, very, very tired still (silly update emails telling me that stops this week :o ) and went to bed at 7.30 last night and only got up a half-hour ago! Baby is in her grandparents house for two nights (OH's MIL has been in US for three weeks and was dying to spend some time with her).

    I am DESPERATE to find out the gender, got a list on Ravelry as long as my arm of baby stuff I want to crochet, but I'd prefer to wait until I get an idea of which neutral colour to lean towards :P

    Smiley, as you know, I piled on a fricking tonne weight with my girl. 6 stone or thereabouts. And I'm finding it very hard this time not to let it take over me again. I've got about 4lbs on so far, compared to 13lbs last time at the same stage. And in fairness to me, this last week was pretty poor financially, so we had to make do with a lot of emergency food which wouldn't be slimming friendly :o
    The trick is not to refuse temptation but to remove temptation. Any time you see a deal for diet coke/7-up/orange etc, buy one or two big 2l bottles. Guzzle if you feel like snacking. It's syn free and will make you feel a bit ill and bloated, and you almost definitely won't feel like eating afterwards. Don't buy anything that you know you would eat but shouldn't. If you need little cheats, buy stuff that is less dangerous if binged. Like if you bought one of the share size bags of Doritos to eat, you're looking at over 1300 calories. A 6-pack bag of Quavers is only 540 calories if you eat all 6 bags!

    Freezer bag meals are your friends. Beef stew, chilli con carne, spaghetti bolognese, Dublin coddle, veg or meat curry, pasta bakes, meat and veg dinner (piece of chicken or beef, prepared veg) and soup mixes can all be put raw but prepped into a ziplock bag, and taken out of the freezer the night before you want it. If you have a big slow cooker, most of them can literally be dumped straight in there when defrosted and left on low to heat up or cook. All you'll have to do is peel a few spuds or boil a pot of pasta.
    If you buy lunch boxes like the one chinese takeaway comes in, you can freeze the leftovers of whatever you cook! It's great for the soups and things like lasagne or bolognese.

    Thanks ShaSha for the great advice & huge congratulations on hitting T2!!! I can't wait to get there & start getting excited! I've been working non stop over the last few days so convenience food featured heavily & I honestly think I've put up a good stone in the last few weeks...its been that bad!! I've been really good today so far & am following the Slimming World plan in an effort to take control & stop inhaling calorific food! At least with SW I'm eating fine healthy dinners & plenty of them! Keeping the treats minimal with plenty of fruit & fat free yogurts to stem the sweet food pangs! I put back the special offer 4 pack of Magnums yesterday in Super Valu yesterday so that in itself was a massive achievement! ;)

    I also have absolutely no motivation to even go for a short walk which isn't helping so realistically at the moment, I feel like a rapidly gaining weight frump with nothing to show for it so the sooner this scan happens the better so it might give me an ol boost! Enough with the vain self pity anyway! Its great that everyone is doing well & to have this thread for advice & sanity reassurance!

    Can you follow SW while pregnant? A slimming world has actually opened up a minute from my house so i hope to join once i have baby too!!

    Has anyone participated in the Domino Scheme or plan to?


  • Registered Users Posts: 247 ✭✭Smiley11


    You can although personally I don't see the point at the rate I'm going. You need permission from your doctor/midwife & have to eat extra fibre & calcium while maintaining their healthy eating plan. I couldn't stay for class the last time so didn't get to ask the consultant what their stance is on doing the plan or how it works out in general. Shes pregnant herself & looks fab so I'd say using their guidelines is acceptable once you're not desperately trying to lose weight as your pregnancy progresses! I gave up going cos its pointless paying €9 a week to inevitably gain weight. I lost over 1.5 st on it prior to this bombshell but at least I'm not having a surprise pregnancy a couple of stone heavier! I presume women use it mainly as a means of keeping their diet healthy while not gaining any unnecessary weight during pregnancy.

    The breastfeeding plan works off the same healthy eating plus a lot of extra fibre & calcium for the duration.

    As for after...if I have to run to class laden with baby, buggy & all the accessories in the lashing rain & howling winds I will be going back in February! Its a great plan, full of sensible eating & you can definitely follow it while breastfeeding. There are loads of women with newborns at the classes & you can see the difference in them within a couple of months. Real yummy mummy stuff! :)

    Thanks for the post. I did the diet online a few years back before my wedding & was surprised by how quickly i dropped weight although once i stopped i did gain it back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,528 ✭✭✭ShaShaBear


    Yeah I quit group as well as the 9 a week seemed like a bit of a waste but once I have the baba I'm straight back into group for the breastfeeding plan!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 769 ✭✭✭annoyedgal


    Hope everyone is getting on well. Had 12 week booking appointment in Holles st today. Clinic was so organised, was really impressed! All done in an hour with mini scan and pictures. Quality nothing like the private scans but didn't matter!
    Feeling much better this week, nausea mostly gone and irritability definitely gone down! Tiredness has stepped up though so that's the pay off. How's everyone else?

    16 weeks today! Saw my GP for the inbetween visit on Friday, and it appears I've put on no weight since I was 12 weeks (85kg on doc scales and hospital scales, however my mother's scales say I've put on 9lbs since I got pregnant - still not too bad!)
    Got to hear heartbeat again, and I'm getting very strong kicks daily that Daddy is able to feel as well!
    Booking the gender scan in 4 weeks time - really, really getting a girl vibe! Although last time I got a very distinct boy vibe and it turned out to be a girl :pac: The pregnancies aren't really all that different, the cravings are a tad stronger than last time and definitely far more savory based than last time too!
    No sickness, but still very snappy and tired. I don't snap for no reason, but I run out of patience much quicker with something that would have annoyed me anyway if that makes sense.


  • Registered Users Posts: 247 ✭✭Smiley11


    I thought my tiredness was gone & it hit me really hard again today so I can empathise. Its such a shock to feel so tired! Hope it eases for you so you can enjoy not being nauseous finally!
    I thought the scan was amazing! Its hard to believe theres a little human wriggling around in there when I can't feel a thing! Poor child got a Lucozade overdose beforehand accidentally & was almost somersaulting but at least we saw loads of movement. I'm still eating everything in sight but I'm hoping it will ease...telling myself that anyway!

    Joining this thread, im due on December 12th. Baby boy is 1 year old.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,528 ✭✭✭ShaShaBear


    Just over the 17 weeks now. I'm ginormous! Looking after the wee one is getting testy, she's started standing since last night and it's already taking all my mental capacity to watch her!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 769 ✭✭✭annoyedgal


    13 and a half weeks and a definite start of a bump going on! Was hoping to get a few more weeks without one as it's my first but que sera sera ! Have a wedding next week so looks like I'll be dress shopping!


  • Registered Users Posts: 247 ✭✭Smiley11


    Same...have a night out tomorrow night so I'll have to hit the "fat" wardrobe I'd say...at least I hadn't gotten around to getting rid of it! 14 weeks tomorrow & fine rounded belly so theres no hiding it from here on in!

    Nice to hear all the bumps coming along. I'm 15 weeks this weekend, honestly I thought I'd be bigger by now as its my second. My bump popped at 15 weeks the last time... Harder in a way being pregnant in summer as you can't layer it up or wear black... I was pregnant last time October - 4th May...

    Yeah I'm noticing how much easier it was last time to dress myself! This time around it's a pain. I can't wear jeans but don't see the point in buying maternity ones yet since we have another 2-3 months of on and off decent weather cropping up. I bought myself a load of hareem trousers, a maxi skirt in Lidl and they are just going to get me through the summer and that's that :pac:

    I'm 20 weeks on Monday. Can actually watch baby shifting around in my belly now! Kicks are strong enough to give a little tummy wobble!!
    And, were having another little lady!


  • Registered Users Posts: 136 ✭✭a_noodle_jenny


    I'm 18+1 and have had movement since 12/13 weeks I guess cuz it's my second as I definitely only was getting flutters last time at this stage. Proper movements started two weeks ago and I felt baba move with my hand the other day. Last time I think I was about 22 weeks before I could feel baba clearly... And he is a most vigorous child now 14 months.

    Yeah as far as I know we are going with Lucy, with Gemma as a backup. Not decided on middle names yet! I bet you're excited! The suspense coming up to a gender scan kills me! I was practically screaming at the woman in my head "I DONT CARE HOW NICE THE BABYS DIAPHRAGM IS, WHAT BLOODY GENDER IS IT?!?!?!?!?!?"
    (Obviously I do care that her body parts are all there, but you get my meaning I'm sure!)


  • Registered Users Posts: 179 ✭✭ash2008


    hey havent checked in to this in a while, hope everyone is doing good.

    Im 19 weeks and think I can feel the baby move...but Im not sure. How can you know for sure?? It doesnt feel like I thought it would...its like bubbles popping inside and its coming from below my bellybutton. I've never felt that feeling before so thats why I was hoping it was the baby and not just gas or something. When it happens, I can also see my stomach move too.

    It feels really weird, in fact Im not sure how much I enjoy the sensation but I feel relieved knowing that the baby is in there and that the movement (if thats what it is) is a good sign.:)

    Yes all sounds good, the kicks / movement will get stronger when your baby's bones harden up.. All preparation for life on the outside! Download the apps What toExpect and register, I find that forum good, and the bump app, babycenter and Pregnancy +
    I love getting notifications on where I'm at!!!
    I'm 19 weeks at weekend, second baby... 20 week scan will be done and dusted this day next week!:)

    Was really lucky with the sickness, had lots of dry wretching and some nausea but otherwise fine! My tiredness kicked in about week 13 and has been ongoing since! Thought it was meant to be the reverse 😅. Hope your sickness is gone for good!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,687 ✭✭✭tHE vAGGABOND


    Mrs Vagga is 23 weeks gone, no sickness just really tired..but I sorta broke both arms a couple of weeks ago, so it's great craic in our house at the moment :eek:

    Great practice for when the little one arrives, we are becoming serious experts in "household automation" - as in getting stuff done by others or by using online services etc :D

    My wife has felt v little movement last couple days, she is 22 weeks. Normally would feel it in the evening but has only felt slight morning movements last couple days n none today. She has a bit of a chest infection at the min. Could this affect things?

    Don't have an answer to that but for peace of mind why don't you call her maternity hospital? They can always do a reassurance scan. Got an info leaflet in holles street yesterday about fetal movement and they said if your concerned to call them and not wait till the next day.
    I'm sure it's absolutely fine, I find the more you concentrate on feeling movement the harder it is! Like a watched kettle!

    I know but we had a bad experience last time so its always in the back of the mind. We go on hols on Saturday so il see how she is in the morning. My wife feels like she has been otherwise so hopefully its nothing

    Hi ladies,

    Thought I'd check in and see how everyone is doing? My sickness finally eased about 4 days ago!! We are having another lil girl (that's 3 girls now) and had an anatomy scan yesterday. Our little lady weights 1 pound 8 ounces & is 13cm long!! Very excited!!

    Congrats ! Had big scan two weeks ago but didn't find out the gender. Was no nervous in run up to scan that didn't relax and enjoy it enough but was lovely to see the little one, esp the little things like the spine and feet! Great your sickness has eased, hopefully that's it!

    Hi ladies,

    Thought I'd check in and see how everyone is doing? My sickness finally eased about 4 days ago!! We are having another lil girl (that's 3 girls now) and had an anatomy scan yesterday. Our little lady weights 1 pound 8 ounces & is 13cm long!! Very excited!!

    No anomaly scan for me, so I've a lovely long, agonizing wait for my final scan at 32 weeks! :o Plenty of movement now, and I can lie in bed in the mornings and watch her roll around and poke her bits out so I'm reassured that she's still in there, at least!
    Got our pram sorted, and bought a lovely pink set for her to wear when she gets out in the open :D
    No sickness, just sciatica, heartburn, utter exhaustion, more heartburn and really sore boobs.
    I've really bad heartburn too. :P
