Yes, lets change the subject and talk instead about how 'snug' my trousers are now, groan.
I did great in the Gap sale recently - got 2 nice pairs of cropped trousers, lovely elastic waist band and plenty of 'give'. Admittedly had to go up a size (or 2) but well worth it, they've been a godsend for work! (16.95euro too was nice
) 0 -
I wasn't expecting that so soon! My work trousers are really uncomfortable so gonna go shopping on Sunday when I'm off. Work are going to have to find new shirts for me too, between boobs and tummy, I'll need them soonYes, lets change the subject and talk instead about how 'snug' my trousers are now, groan. 0 -

Had 12 week scan in CUMH yesterday - crikey, I know people said the place was busy but gosh, was like a baby factory!
All looking great, the difference between 8 weeks and 12 weeks was just mind blowing. S/he was actually a little person Back again on 30th July for next scan. Exciting times! 0 -

Hi all, very happy to be jumping aboard this train It's our first and I'm due around the 15th, super excited! I fully expect to go overdue based on my mother's experience but we shall see, I'd love to have him/her in my arms in time for Christmas. I've had a bit of nausea and fatigue but it seems to be easing a little. The back pain is a killer though. I'm already showing a little so I'll be 'coming out' at work next week too...! 0

Hope everyone had a great BH weekend. I caught up on a load of sleep, got plenty of naps thanks to my cooperating husband and toddler Still feeling knackered on and off, but the horrible light-headed stage I had last week has passed thankfully. Am 10+4 now.
Just waiting for my booking in appointment with Holles St Weds week - i'll be 12 weeks then fingers crossed.
Edit: Has anyone here decided to find out the sex of the baby? We already have a little girl and were debating whether to find out but think we're going to leave it (convinced it's another girl though, will be a shock otherwise) 0 -

Eek! Only got nausea intermittently really - so not really qualified to say. Though I am taking prenatal vitamins with ginger included, supposed to help? I got them in Boots in a lilac coloured box so it might be worth getting ....
Feel better soon!
Edit: You could also try ginger tea (slice of ginger in hot water) - if you can stomach it 0 -

Barry's do a nice ginger and lemon tea too
Anyone else getting mad breakouts? I'm getting spots along my chin, forehead, jawline, basically places I haven't had them since I was 15! Ah, such a magical time...
No, but I went through a 'greaseball' stage there a few weeks back. Magical indeed :pac::pac::pac:0 -

Going by early reassurance scan at a private clinic at 7+6 weeks, im 12+4 now and have my second scan on Saturday (private also)...im absolutely terrified and paranoid that ill get bad news so having this scan to prevent driving me insane (previous mmc), my symptoms seemed to fade in week ten and now i only have tiredness, a little boob tenderness and headaches, im feeling much better, which if everything is ok is great, im just crossing everything it's not because baby stopped developing in week 10.
Sorry for a downer post, just freaking out lol
So my question is.....im attending the coombe and have my first appointment (public) on the 12th, but im not sure what's going to happen, is it just to book me in, forms etc? or do they do a scan/bloods etc then too?
Anyone else going to the coombe?
Sorry to hear about your previous mmc - can understand why you're so worried. A few friends of mine had mmcs too and i'm also petrified the same thing will happen to me. You're not alone
If it's any consolation, it's completely normal for your symptoms to ease around 10, 11 weeks. They did for me last time and have eased again this time.
I haven't attended the coombe myself, but your first appointment will generally be bloods, a medical background check and a dating scan!0 -

Well that's the booking appointment done and dusted! The only unpleasant part was trying to get bloods taken, my veins are tiny and flat as pancakes. They had to take it from my hand in the end which eventually worked. BP and everything else is fine thank God, my BMI is unfortunately on the high side but so far isn't causing any problems.
Finally, we got a look at bubs and my dates are more or less right, due 17th December and not the 15th as I originally thought (although if s/he arrives before Christmas I'll be thrilled!) It's so surreal seeing the little one wriggling around, when you can't feel a thing yourself. We saw kicking and a hand being put up to the mouth, we may have a thumbsucker on our hands! Good strong heartbeat too 0 -
Congrats Dolbert!
I had my booking appt last Wednesday too, great to see a bopping, healthy baby too. Such a relief. I went to Holles St semi-p and was really impressed with the staff, they were fab and had plenty of time for us.
I've been avoiding the scales and was dismayed to see I've put on more than 4kg in 10 weeks - not happy about that one bit! No wonder my clothes don't fit any more
Don't think I put on half that during the last pregnancy. 0 -

It all sounds normal Plek Trum. I'm 14 weeks and my sickness had been easing off, until yesterday when I got a horrible migraine which made me sick I couldn't take the normal medication so had to muddle through with paracetamol and lots of water. It lasted over 24 hours, I'm only just feeling normal again this morning. I'm blaming the heat, will be knocking back water to beat the band from now on! 0

Thanks Dolbert - been out cutting the grass, doing the washing, walking has gotten back to normal etc. Its a good thing I guess so! Im generally a very laid back person and I really don't think anything awful has happened (bump has grown if anything). Looking for reassurance I guess (!) Plenty of water in the heat for sure, mix it up with some sparkling water, add cucumber and mint etc so you don't get bored 0

15 weeks this week and starting to feel very "normal" - I guess this is fine?? Its as if the all early pregnancy symptoms have completely disappeared? First timer so Im unsure if this is the usual thing to expect. Just to add, I don't have any spotting, cramps or pain - just feel quite ordinary down there for last week or 2. I'm probably over worrying!
I am a first timer too. I'm 12 weeks and 2 days and feel more like myself now. Still a little tired but grand like. I think its normal 0 -
