Forgot to mention. I was out for a meal last night and the restaurant had dealcoholised wine - Natureo by Torres. I had a little quarter bottle. It wasn't half bad, obviously not as good as the real stuff, but was fairly drinkable. it could be useful for an alternative if not drinking, especially if you're trying to avoid detection too

Oh so tired. Straight to bed after work, slept til 9.30pm, got up for a while and back to sleep. Feel like a zombie today. Only 2 more days of work.
I know - we're getting there! I'm knackered too
Karnkykitty, that's interesting that a restaurant had dealcoholised wine. i wouldn't expect that. i went for dinner on Saturday night and out of 7 starters there was only one that was pregnancy friendly (they were all pate, soft cheese or shellfish) and that was squid, which is disgusting so I went without a starter. I was pukey anyway so I wasn't that bothered but with so many women pregnant I would have thought restaurants would have thought about their menus a bit more. The mains were all grand.0 -
Is anyone else having issues with drooling? It sounds so weird and gross but according to my book it's common enough in pregnancy. It's always been bad because of all the vomiting but today it's really noticeable - have to keep my head up and keep wiping my mouth. Embarassing
Pregnancy does weird things to you, doesn't it?!0 -

Has your sickness eased with the meds Murdy?0 -

Not really but I only took the first one last night and apparently it can take 24 hours for it to take effect. Fingers crossed! I'm not too bad today, more tired than anything. Tbh, i think the 2 weeks off will do more for me than any pills could Pregnancy is weird isn't it, I'm drooling, you have a dry mouth - I find it so interesting how it affects women so differently.Rachineire wrote: »oh man, i have been drooling like crazy my entire pregnancy! its so gross...some mornings i would wake up and the front of my night shirt and my pillow would be soaked!! now i might drool a little from time to time sleeping if i was super exhuasted, sick or drunk(hehe) but nothing like this! been washing pillows and pillow cases like mad during my pregnancy lol
Ha! That makes me feel better - I hear ya on the pillowcases. It's the weirdest symptom I've had, never drooled before as far as I can remember!0 -

Yes i am sooooo tired past two days and thought this is meant to be when we get more energy! it is very hard keep working and all routines normal! definitely going start pregnancy yoga now in January!
I honestly think that burst of energy in the second trimester doesn't exist is just something they tell pregnant women so that they feel more hopeful when suffering through the first trimester!

I actually feel more tired in my 2nd trimester then i did in the first!
Have my 1st consultants appointment tomorrow but I had a bit of drama today and spent the afternoon in the coombe but thankfully all is ok and I got to have another look at my little bean!
Hope everyone is doing well x
Hope everything is ok! Good that you got to see the baby. That's one consolation with having to go in to the hospital. Even though I was so ill last week when I went in to the hosp seeing baby in there looking all comfortable really helped. Good luck at consultants app tomorrow!
I think my drugs have kicked in - I feel like I could take over the world today Going to get my nails done at lunch and meet my mum after work to go shopping, just like normal people do! My jeans are not going to last much longer so need to buy some long tops and leggings. Was going to wait for Jan sales but all the sales have started already, it seems! 0 -

Everything is fine, I had a little bit of spotting and because im rhesus negative i have to go in everytime it happens!
My appointment went great and she gave me another quick scan and said everything looks great!
Im so delighted your medication has kicked in and now you can really enjoy the pregnancy.
In the last few days a little bump has appeared it's so cute ha!
Can't believe Christmas is only 5 days away!!!0 -

I know and next Christmas will be baby's first - my family are all excited for that Only 1.5 more days of work for me \o/
Glad everything is ok with baby, the spotting must be a bit scary. Hopefully it won't happen again so you don't have to traipse into the Coombe.
I've had a little bump appear over the last few days too - before that I'd have one every day or two for a little bit but now it's there all the time. I like it 0 -

So exciting and scary eek :-)
Ye it's a real pain having to go down there but as long as everything is ok I don't mind!
Ye I had a disappearing bump too so hopefully this one will stick around!
I can't wait to start buying baby stuff :-)0 -

Hi Gals, I havent been on for a while!! I've just been catching up on posts. Hope everyone is doing well today. I've started to feel a lot like my old self now finally. I've had another scan since I last posted and everything is lookin good. It was crytal clear. You could see the baby's facial features and arms, legs , fingers!! I asked could they tell the sex and she replied'yes i would say I can' I didnlt find out thou but its making me think its a boy if she knew already the sex!!! Amazing!!! Are any of yee going to find out the sex. I'm going to wait for the surprise on the big day I think. Even thou deep down I think its a boy. Will we make predictions for the laugh and see how many are right???!!!
I wasn't going to find out because i wanted a surprise but now I've realised I'm not a patient enough person for that. I'm convinced I'm having a girl but have no reason to think that apart from women's intuition! Just need to convince my hubby that we're going to find out
Glad all is well with you and baby!!0 -

It must be great to feel the fluttering I had read that if it's your first baby you won't really feel it until 20 weeks but for subsequent babies you feel it earlier, at about 16 weeks. So I'm not expecting it for a while!
Think I'm coming down with something, have a terrible sore throat and am all shivery. Also, was very sick this morning - body woke me up extra early to be pukey. I've taken a tablet so we'll see if that helps and I may force myself to eat something. Just a bit concerned because I have to leave the house at 4am tomorrow morning to go to the airport to fly out for Christmas. It'll be a long trip and not fun if I'm feeling unwell. At least when we get there I can just sleep for a week and not do anything 0 -
@Emmacash, I've been exactly the same with tiredness but I don't have a 5 year old to look after too. I've gone to bed straight to bed after work two days this week and had today off thankfully.
@Murdywurdy, hope you're feeling better and have a safe trip.
We met with OB again today and found out the sex...I was convinced it was girls but my OH was sure it was boys...well we're having two little boys Have told my parents but will keep it a surprise otherwise (if we can keep our mouths shut ) They were really active in there today, both the same size but one of them is definitely taking up more room, the bossy one;) and all looks good. We have anomaly scan early January so looking forward to getting that overwith. Bought some babygros on sale today...couldn't help myself 
Haven't been able to feel any fluttering yet, I'm 16+5 but it's our first pregnancy so I guess maybe it'll be a few more weeks yet. Must be very exciting to feel them in there.
Hope you're all able to put the feet up now and relax a bit over Christmas x0 -

Awh two little boys how cute, It's amazing that they can tell at this stage the sex!
A girl I work with who is due her first baby in 3 weeks felt the first flutters at 16 weeks so I'm living in hope I'm the same, With all the scans I've had the baby is always very active so hoping I'll feel something soon.
This pregnancy for me is going so fast, It only seems like yesterday when we found out and now I'm nearly 16 weeks.
Happy Friday x0 -

Krankykitty - it's probably the tiredness starting to get to you. There's nothing worse than not getting enough sleep. Would one of these help your back pain - I was looking at it in Mamas & Papas I think -
I've read that it helps to have something between your legs at night.
I'm just sick of feeling fat and tired now. I'm just 14 weeks and I feel like an elephant, my waist has completely disappeared and I seem to be carrying a spare tire around my middle. I can't wait until I get a bump and stop just looking chubby. I've put on 5 pounds already....I'll really need to watch myself over Christmas. I'm just hoping it's all water retention
Congrats on the boy twins bluesky, exciting news. Great that everyone else is doing well.0 -
Thanks Couchkitten. I think it's probably the sleep disturbance all right (sometimes just knowing it makes it feel less crazy if you know what I mean ) I can't see the thing you were suggesting to me for the back pain? Maybe just problem on my side. I tried the pillow last night but didn't do much really.
I hear you on the feeling bigger now.. it could well be water retention or something, there's days I feel huge and then others where I'm smaller than normal lol! Talking about getting bigger, has anyone seen those band things that you can put around you so you can leave your jeans open while not flashing everything to the world at large? Also, do any of the more "budget" shops (penneys/dunnes etc) do maternity tights? Don't fancy buying expensive ones that the dog will just end up ripping...0 -
