Wendy's 9 months

Well... here I am!
Terrified that I am jinxing myself by starting one of these, but at 8 wks (at least according to FF) I'm HOPING I'm almost out of the danger zone... well... as much as one can ever BE out of the danger zone!!!

I've been away on holiday for 3 weeks, just got back into the office today. Can't promise to post as much as I used to for a while at least, I've got three weeks worth of catching up to do!

BUT, thought I'd share my experience so far, starting with 10dpo and my "official" :bfp: ...
10dpo to 6wks3days - not a whole lot happening. Gradual soreness of bbs increasing and that's pretty much it. I'm very proud of the ones I've got now :happydance: - firm and perky and full!! (well... for me they're full anyway!). Lost my daily craving for chocolate, and beer tasted a bit strange but I still took sips of my DH's in the evening :shy: Dodgy belly some days (aren't you meant to be constipated while pg?!?! Its been the COMPLETE opposite for me!!)...

6wks3days to now - for all my not wanting to whinge, a big UGH, BLEURK is all I have to say. Tiredness, and worst of all NAUSEA! :cry: :cry: I'm such a baby, but I HATE feeling sick all the time! I seriously wanna cry in the morning, and again after about 4pm. I haven't actually been sick yet (thank God) but sometimes I think it'd be better if I were... I feel like I have a constant lump in my throat and a "floaty" tummy... Just this week I've also started getting headaches, sth I NEVER get. Believe it or not, although my shape has changed, and I've a rounder tummy, I've LOST 5lbs since becoming pg due to the complete cutting out of sweets from my diet. I just DON'T WANT them!!! I'm sure that'll change though... :D

DH is swinging between being a sweetheart (he now says "I love you both" :cloud9:) and being a royal jerk who doesn't understand anything... Partly me being moody I'm sure, but I often get the feeling that he thinks I'm faking it, and he should REALLY know me better as I've the appetite of a horse normally. I simply can't just not eat, unless I really feel horrid. At least the week w/ my parents was full of love and understanding!!!

Well... that's it for now! My first pre-natal appointment is next Tuesday, 19th August at 10am... I'll surely get an early scan since I m/c in March... I'm SO nervous already! What if there's no heartbeat!??! ... Trying to stay positive for now...

Thanks to all for reading, I've missed you all sooooooooo much, will do my very best to catch up in the next coupla days.

p.s. managed to down a 200g "tub" of cottage cheese today at lunch. Its the most I've eaten at lunch in 2 weeks, so pretty proud of myself! :D

Here's to the next 7 months!

*screams* YOU'RE HEEEEEEERRRRREEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! :yipee: :wohoo: :happydance:

:hug:

Here's to a happy, healthy and probably sometimes a :wacko: 9 months!!!!

xxx

YAY youve finally decided to start one :happydance:

Have missed your cheery self being around, but im glad you had a nice time :hugs:

8 whole weeks!! Woweee ... thats almost first tri pretty much done for you!! Only another few weeks and you'll be skipping over to 2nd tri!! If you hurry you just might catch me before i scoot off to third!!

Salut ma belle!!!

que je suis contente pour toi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
je vais me regaler a te suivre ici maintenant ..
moi j'ai eu mes regles ce mardi alors tu me gardes la place jusqu'au mois de septembre ok?:)

Hi Wendy, welcome to the preggo journals!!!:happydance:

I feel your pain with the :sick:, I too am feeling nearly constantly nauseaus but haven't been sick yet thank god. And I've also lost 5lbs since finding out I was pg!! Just don't have the appetite I used to - that might change though as I've figured out that constant eating is about the only thing which controls the nausea!

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to know you better and hope you have a happy and healthy remaining 7 months:hugs:

Hi Wendy, so glad you're back. Can't believe how far gone you are already!
Glad you started a preggo journal so we can all watch your progress and hope to follow you soon.
Hope you start feeling better soon. :hug:

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY BABY!!!!!!
I'm so happy you are here :happydance: :happydance:
Welcome, welcome, welcome xxxxxxxxxx

So good to see you back and with your own preggo journal :happydance::happydance::happydance:

Hoping you have a very happy and healthy 9 months hun xx

Good morning everybody!!!

Well, I was VERY VERY horrible last night, but Im' gonna plead ignorance!! I had a WICKED headache, like nearly migraine, and couldn't sleep, was nauseous and even feeling a little fever-y (God I hope I'm not getting sick!!!) so... I took an Advil. There was NO indication on the bottle that you shouldn't take it in pregnancy, honest! I at least looked! Had a cow this morning when I did some research, but most sites say that while its not recommended, its "ok" in the 1st and 2nd tri... just not in the final tri...
I'm being realistic, I don't think ONE Advil will do much harm, but still... :cry: :cry: This is what happens when you wait 'til 9 weeks to get your first prenatal apmt!!! :cry:

Feel horrible again this morning, am really hoping I'm not getting sick... :( I'm all shivery and have a bit of a sore throat... never a good thing... DH has the runs, so we are a healthy (NOT!) pair at the mo'! its all those plane rides, I'm sure. I always get sick on the plane... TGIF is all I have to say! Gonna run to the pharmacy after and get some acetominophen (I don't think they have the Tylenol brand here, but surely sth similar!) 'cause I can feel the headache coming on again :cry:

Am now going to try and fake being hungry - I eat breakfast at work and managed to play down the fact that I wasn't drinking coffee yesterday at least... not sure I can pull it off two days in a row though...

ttfn! :D

Woo hoo! I'm signed in :happydance:

Look forward to sharing your magical 9 months with you honey

:hugs: :hug: :hugs:

I dont think one Advil will be a problem hun. And if it is then worrying wont help any so I'd just forget it babe. When you go to the pharmacy for some headache tablets, have a word with the chemist.
Its bobbins pretending but its probably not a bad thing - if you can stop yourself from getting hungry I found it seemed to keep the :sick: at bay. Thing is its catch 22 coz the last thing you wanna do is stuff your face!!

:hug:

hey hey hun...u finally made it.....8 whole weeks how tyme flys

congrats again hunni x x x x

Yaaay you're here!! Congratulations again.

I also had the opposite of constipation - lovely isn't it. :rofl:

Hope you have a wonderful journey. xxx

Hi :hi: Can't believe you are 8 weeks already! Time surely flies, doesn't it!! I wouldn't worry too much about the advil, its not like you are popping them like candy so i'm sure one wont be much of an issue. Oh and I have the opposite of constipation right now too :sick: not nice!! :rofl:

Enjoy your weekend!! :hugs:

:hug:

Wowser!!! U made it hun.....

Wishing you all the stickiness in the world....your symptoms sound just puuuurrrrfect!

xxx:hug::hug::hug:

Howdy all!!
WOW thanks for all your posts ladies!!!
So, like, I'm STILL feeling :sick: Good Lord, when will this end?!?!? I really hate to complain so much but I wasn't quite expecting to feel bad ALL DAY LONG for so long... :shy: *sigh* Ah well.
Today I'm sick 'cause of m/s and sick w/ worry... tomorrow is my first prenatal apmt! As in: my first scan!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! I'm terrified! Seriously, like, pitting my shants!!! (Although not literally... the constipation kicked in over the weekend I think... Looooverly...) What if LO isnt' moving? Or isn't there at all?!?!?! I should be 9 weeks tomorrow!!!... (there should be a "panic" smilie...)
Right. Try to relax.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend! I spent mine literally sleeping. and that's IT. I left the office at lunch on Friday, I had my first pg-induced migraine... oh my... I wanted to DIE! But as soon as I slept, it went away. Slept and slept and slept, about 14hrs a day all weekend! DH thought I was about to kick the bucket I think... Good thing I gave him my 'What to expect when you're expecting' to read... kinda relieved him a little to know its normal!!!

Food is still not my friend. Nothing tastes right - EXCEPT I have discovered fruit. More precisely, BERRIES, esp. blackberries and yogurt.... :cloud9: Bliss!!! Sweet and sour and I don't have to chew anything (chewing makes me feel even more :sick:) That'll be nourishment no1 from now on!!! :rofl:

Alrighty, that's enough of my rambling for now! Gonna check out everyone's journals! Loads of :hugs: to you all!!!
xxx

Good luck for tomorrow, but you won't need it cause everything is goingt to be fine!!!

:hugs:

Yay for your scan - how exciting! xx

Good luck for your scan chicken, everything is gonna be fine xxxxx :hugs:

Hey sweets!!

When you're in the thick of MS its like it will NEVER end.......but it does....then, if you're unlucky,it comes back!!! ARRRGGHH!!! I am back in a weird place with food myself - rarely hungry. Hubby and I have just popped into the supermarket for milk and he was asking what I wanted for tea.....I CAN NOT think about it right now....weird.

Sleep is good - do lots of it because if you end up like Free Willy's stunt double (like moi) you wont be getting much in about 20 wks!!!

:hug:

Congrats on the start of your pregnancy journal Wendy!

Sorry you are feeling so poorly but hopefully it wont be for long lovely.

xxx

Good luck tomorrow hon, I"m sure everything will be fine!:hugs:

Ohhh Wendy!! Did i miss your BFP announcement or what?! I am so pleased to see you having a pregnancy journal up now :hugs: aww hun! So happy for you! Spring baby :)

Just stopping by to wish you loads of luck for tomorrow. I hope all goes well and I hope your sickness eases off a little. xxx

Oh ye - forgot to say good luck for the appointment honey - I'm sure everything will be tickety-boo!!

x

Hey sweets just popping in to wish you lots of luck for tomorrow!!

MORNING all!

HOLY CRAP I'm so nervous... :sick: :sick: Can't even think of anything intelligent to write... Not to mention that I am in a HORRID mood this morning, went off at DH jsut before for sth dumb (although he's always a critic in the morning, it drives me nuts at the best of times nevermind when I'm full of pg hormones?!!?!?) and I'm still sitting here seething...
Went to have a little bbq in the woods last night, thank bliss we brought two cars, I was home again by 8.15pm and in bed by 9.30pm... :shy: SAD sack, that's me! REALLY wish this night nausea would ease off. I can handle the morning one so long as I'm not chucking my guts up, but the night one keeps me awake?!?! really annoying... :growlmad:

Right, I'll leave this for now, thanks for all your good luck wishes girlies, I'll post when I get back!!! ... at least, as long as all is well I will... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

xxx

Sorry your feeling sick :sick: it should ease off when you go into 2nd tri!

Good luck for today honey, read ya when you get back!

:hugs: :hug: :hugs:

Sending lots more good luck vibes to you hon, let us know how you get on!:hugs:

:hissy: :hissy: :hissy: :hissy:
NO SCAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did I mention :hissy::hissy::hissy::hissy: !?!?!? aaaaaaaaaaack, I could scream!!!!!!! Stupid receptionist said that she's sure she told me that the first scan would only be at 12wks, but I reminded her that no, she had assured me that given my "history" I would be given an earlier one... Apparently that was not communicated by the doctor and he wouldn't do one!!!!!!!! :hissy::hissy::hissy: SO frustrated and still stressed obviously, 'cause now I won't know if all is well or not until THREE FLIPPIN' WEEKS from now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:
*sigh*
Well, nothin' I can do now but wait. At least he's given me some Vit B6 for nausea - hope that helps - and took heaps of blood (:cry: I hate that!) for heaps of tests... I should get the results back in a few days, I'm mainly interested in the toxoplasmosis one. Had a cat, so hopefully am immune... hope hope hope...
Next appointment, 12th September at 11.30am.
:hugs:

Sorry you didnt get your scan sweets - are they counting your HCG in those bloods?? That should give you some reassurance to keep you going till the scan. x

P.s. Oh yeah, new due date according to doc, although w/out a scan he's just going by a 28day cycle: 23 March 2009 - I'm 9 weeks exactly today. Gotta fix that ticker.

Oh, howdy Lisa! I hope they're doing HCG... I would imagine so. I lost track of all the tests 'cause the list was so long! :shy: Will keep yas posted...

xxx

Hey Cheese! I posted at the same time as you did so I edited it incase you hadnt seen!!

So are they gonna do your HCG???

x

Sorry you didn't get your scan hun :hugs: Hopefully all those tests they are running will go someway to provide you some reassurance!

:hug:

Sorry you didnt' get the scan hon, that's so frustrating. Hopefully the tests will keep you going for the next few weeks though:hugs:

Ahhh sorry you didnt get your scan hun, dont fret though 3 weeks isnt too far away and at least it'll give you something to look foward to!! Dont stress in the meantime though, im sure little wendy bean is doing fine in there!!

And woohooo congrats on being a whole 9 weeks today hun ... 9 down 31 to go!! Doesnt that 2WW seem a doddle now lol

Awwwww, I'm sorry chick, what absolute knobheads :hissy:
Same thing happened to me last time round if you remember??? Hope the sickness eases off a little for you, can't say I know how you are feeling cause I've been having it easy! 3 WEEKS EH!!!!! jEEEEEZZZZZ
It seems a long way off doesn't it babe, especially when you are worrrying but the sickness is a very good strong sign so try not to worry too much xxxxxx :hugs:

WHAT A BUMMER!!!!:hissy:

So u will see beany in 3 weeks....ok, fair enuff, that's fine.......NO IT IS BLADY NOT!!!!!!!! We wanna see beany NOW!!!!

Hey ho...at least you m/s may have eased off by then?????:happydance:

Big Hugs to ya today- I would be frustrated too!!!!:hug::hug::hug:xxx

Aww I am sorry you didn't get to see baby-bean - congrats on reaching 9 weeks though :happydance:

I hope these 3 weeks fly by for you. xxx

:hugs: sorry you didn't get your scan, 3 weeks will past before you know it, i hope everything is ok! :) Darn sickness needs to go away from you :hugs: hope you feel better chick!!!

Sept. 12 is my next appointment too :) guess we will be counting down together!

Hiya ladies!
Thanks everyone for your understanding!! I'm still a bit frustrated, but hey ho what can you do!??! Nuffink.

So, my new best friend(s) are my motion sickness pills!!! Itenol B6. Wow. Goooooooood stuff!! Took one last night at the cinema would you believe - was in the throes of my night nausea while watching Mamma Mia (GREAT film!!! :D). Took about an hour to kick in, but its STILL working this morning! Little me and medication, I NEVER take anything so when I do its got like 150% effectiveness!! :rofl: Talk about a drugged sleep! But, woke up HUNGRY this morning - not sick, HUNGRY! Have already wolfed down a 20g stick of milk chocy mmmmmhhh, that felt good!!! :D

Just can't imagine taking them during the day - make me FAR too drowsy!!! And since they are like little round orange balls so I don't think I'd be able to half them grrr... Oh well, this way the weight gain mightn't come on too soon... :shy:

DH noticed my bbs this morning! Am wearing a lower cut t-shirt than normal and he goes "Woah! Where did those come from!?!?" :rofl: Does he otherwise even LOOK at me when we're in bed!??! ugh... :rofl:

Am now getting up ALL THE TIME, every night, at 3.30am to pee. Its driving me MAD! Last night I was up THREE TIMES!?!? Wonder if LO is positioned near my bladder!?!? would that make a difference already?! I really don't drink THAT much b/f I go to bed, and anyway, aren't you meant to stay hydrated? The doc told me yesterday that my blood was like corn syrup, was I drinking enough... :shy: Yesterday I hadn't had much to drink at all b/f the apmt mind you, was feeling too rough in the morning... Made up for it during the day though... I can't win! :growlmad:

Guess that's it for now ladies! Looking forward to breakfast in about 15min, that's a nice change! :D
:hugs: to you all!!!!

Wow :happydance: for the motion sickness pills, whatever works hon!!! I think I've been quite lucky, it hasn't been that bad for me yet and it's certainly eased this week so who knows what's going on!

You poor thing with getting up during the night, you must be exhausted with it! I think they say there's something to do with the hormones that make us need to go more often in the early stages, I remember reading that somewhere.....

Anyway, hope you have a lovely day!:hugs:

Those pills sound like a god send! I'll have to keep them in mind if my nausea gets worse but i've been not too bad so far. You must be knackered getting up so often during the night, hopefully that will ease up soon and you can get a full nights sleep! :hugs:

:hug:

Me again!
Just wanted to proudly post that I went for a run today!!! :happydance:
Ok.. who'm I kidding... I cannot call that a run. I went for an old-lady toddle!!! :rofl: Honestly, I have the pace of a slug, if that!!! I can't believe my total lack of energy!! I can do in 50 mins what would normally take me... hmm... MAYBE 20 if I took it easy!!! :rofl: Combination of no energy and bbs that feel like they might FALL OFF from the bouncing... NOW I know why runners have small breasts...!!! :shy:
Anyway, I felt better for moving around a bit, I'm REALLY not used to sitting on my arse all day, but I think that experience just reinforced my conviction to get a gym membership for 6 months. I need a nice low impact elliptical machine or stationary bike workout!!!
Seems the pills have now wore off, feeling a bit queasy again although they lasted all thru the morning this morn! Thats why I got out for a run, 'cause I was FINALLY not nauseous at lunch! That and needing to wash my hair... :shy: Might take one a bit earlier tonight and see how long I last :)

Am going to announce my news to my soccer team tonight. I've not been to single practice in over 6 weeks obviously, what with holidays and being pg. They all KNOW without knowing I'm sure, but since the season starts this weekend, I've decided to officially announce that I wont' be playing this year and why :) Looking forward to it actually, they are a lovely bunch of girls and I know they'll be thrilled for me (us!) :) Fits my "grandma of the team" image!!! :D

Right, enough rambling, I so dont' feel like working can you tell!?!? :shy: Have a nice evening all!!!
xxx

Glad the nausea pills are effective hun. I'm exactly the same about taking meds. I wont take half a paracetamol for a severed limb!!! I just think that way when you REALLY need it then it should work....and you just proved my theory!!!

I bet the footie gals will be chuffed to bits for you. Have a brill evening. xx

Glad the pills are working... and I know how you feel about the 3.30am thing - that is the same time getting up for a pee as me :D ahhh the joys.

Good luck announcing the news tonight! xxx

Good for you going for a run! I know what you mean about the sore boobs though, I'm even finding the x trainer difficult and that's pretty low impact - must go and buy a better sports bra, my boobs may as well be free and wild for all the good my current bra does them!!

Enjoy telling your friends tonight!:hugs:

Howdy all!

Well... having a weird morning. I woke up from my completely drugged sleep (geez those pills are STRONG!!!) realizing I hadn't been to pee all night... AND my breasts seem less sore, AND I'm not feeling very sick... I'm kinda panicking a bit... Could this be my punishment for telling people BEFORE the 12 week mark!?!?!? To make matters worse I'm crampy this morning. I KNOW it could just be beano stretching everything but in combination w/ everything else I'm freaking... :cry:

When does morning sickness normally ease off? I thought i was 12 weeks at the earliest?!?! I'm only 9+2, surely it can't be already going... could it? I mean... as long as everything is ok in there then I welcome it going... but I'm terrified! :wacko: I'm losing it. WHY ok why could I not get that early scan?!!? :cry: I've decided not to take the motion sickness pill tonight and see if I in fact do still get my night nausea... Stupid, but I kinda hope so... I need the reassurance...

On a nicer note, it was lovely to tell my soccer team! :cloud9: A few ran up and hugged me, the rest just stood there with big goofy grins on their faces and clapped :D So much nicer telling Swiss women than Swiss men, what a difference! The women get all squishy and oooh and aaaah, and the men go "Well, that's the end of your life then" ... :rofl:
Then went home and ate spaghetti and salad - just a little bowl, but boy was I hungry! Stuff still doesn't taste right though, kinda annoying... everything needs salt!!! :rofl:

Tonight will maybe go to the gym - I have like this 5-at-a-time membership chip with 2 or 3 visits left on it... gonna try the x-trainer and see! Hope I have better luck than you Lu! Not sure how good my sports bras are, I thought pretty decent... guess tonight'll be the test :D

Oki doke, that's all for now folks! Gonna go journal stalk. I'm so NOT productive at work these days... I just can't be arsed. Who cares about work, I'm gonna have a :baby:!!!! :rofl:

xxx

I would tell you not to worry about the symptoms hon but who the hell am I to talk after this week?!!! I'm sure everything is absolutely fine though. I bet you didn't wake up because the pills knocked you out and you're not feeling ill because the pills are doing their job. You'll be fine:hugs:

Glad it was so lovely telling people last night, that's always a really nice part!

Have a good if non-productive day! I think mine is going to be very similar!!

:hug:

hya hun. :wave: sorry to hear about the ms being so awful - i have already started with it....am starving but can't eat anything and everything is making me want to throw up! know exactly how you feel. Try not to panic about stuff easing off - you are heading swiftly towards when everything starts to calm down.....I think my ms eased off around this kind of time with ds. :hugs:

I just thought I'd amend my earlier post by adding: NOW I FEEL LIKE POO!!!! ... guess I might have hit the panic button a tad early... :shy:
Feel not exactly nauseous but BAD and am once again post-lunch EXHAUSTED I just wanna go to bed. I have two meetings now back to back, how on EARTH am I gonna get thru them I don't know... *sigh* But, I guess that means all is well in there! Fingers crossed!!!

Have a nice afternoon ladies!
xxx

You poor button.

Hope they go quick darling xx

Glad your feeling crappy again :rofl: At least it means your still very much pregnant honey :hugs:

:hug: :hug:

Glad to hear you are feeling :sick: again but not so glad you have to feel poo while at work! :hugs:
Hope your sports bra worked out for you!! I usually go running/jogging a few times a week but I have been relegated to my stepper in my house because the BB pain was just too much!! :cry: It's not like I have big bouncy things either and I have an expensive super supportive sports bra!! :hissy:

:hug:

Aww hun those early weeks and working are a killer!! BUT its friday tomorrow so youd better make sure you have a lovely rest this weekend!!

Morning all!

... not sick again... or not badly anyway, NOTHING like the past 4 weeks or so! ... I really dunno what to think... I still have sore bbs, although to me they seem a bit less so, I'm still tired but can't sleep at night, still peeing every 10 mins (or so it seems), still have a funny taste in my mouth, still have NO desire for meat or alcohol, etc etc etc... So I still have pg symptoms, right?!?!?! I'm too shy to call my doc, I'm sure he'll think I'm a giant paranoid freak... and I've read a few places that m/s CAN ease off between 9 and 11 weeks so I'm HOPING I'm just lucky!!! But I'm terrified it means sth horrible... Why do I read about missed miscarriages!?!? WHY!?!?!?
What would you girlies do??

Meanwhile, I ended up eating ANOTHER curry and playing pool w/ my girlfriend last night, no gym for me! A spontaneous evening out, what a novelty in this country!!! :rofl: will do the gym tonight I guess. DH is away for the weekend :cry: so I'm on my own...

*YAWN* I'm so tired, I was tossing and turning all night, this huge fear of losing bean in the back of my mind - I think I even dreamt about it... :cry: I'm a mess...

Gonna go read journals and NOT google anything!!! We'll see how the morning goes...

xxx

try stay positive hun xx

I think if you want to ring your Dr you should. Who cares what he/she thinks?? It's your baby and your pregnancy and they are your carers.
I was exactly the same at about your stage. Just before I started my preggy journal we were due to go to California for Easter and the week before we went everything just stopped. Now I was bang on 12 weeks when we arrived home so I must have been about 9 wks. My friend had just had a missed mc so I was just like you thinking 'oh great'. I rang the hospital and told them how I felt and that I was going on holiday so they told me to come in and they scanned me. Obviously everything was fine but I dont thnk I'd have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes.

I am happy to stake this months mortgage payment that your cheese bean is fine but ring them and push for a scan or at least some HCG tests so you can relax a little until 12 wks.

Let me know how you get on. xxx

Aww baby, I'm sorry you are feeling so crappy :hugs:
I had the same worries about having a missed miscarriage, especially as I had no symptoms as such, it was easy to believe that my bean had gone :cry:
I think it's made worse by the fact they didn't give you an early scan?? I'm sure that everything will be just fine chicken, I know how you feel and nothing anybody say's at the moment will stop those nasty little thoughts entering your head, just sit tight and look forward to seeing your little baby wriggling around on the screen at your scan.
Thinking of you xxxxxxxxx

Awww hon, I really feel for you, I would tell you not to worry about it but I'm not one to talk! I have to say though, when I went to the doc I was surprised about how lovely and understanding he was and he didn't treat me like a loon at all! Sounds like you still have loads of symptoms but maybe if you wanted to push for a scan just to put your mind at rest, tell them that ALL of your symptoms have disappeared over the last few days and that should do it - a white lie I know but if it gets the result you want then who cares!!!

I was reading in my what to expect when you're expecting book that nearly every woman gets worried about a missed miscarriage but they are extremely rare. The vast majority of miscarriages come with bleeding and cramps and even with missed miscarriages there's meant to be a good bit of brown discharge. Please don't worry hon but if it makes you feel any better just tell white lies and push for that scan.

:hug:

Have you tried natural ginger for the morning sickness?

Or even a dry biscuit with ginger in it?

I hope it eases soon as I can imagine it could stop you wanting to do all sorts. :friends:

Oh you ladies are loverly!!!
Lisa, THANK YOU. You made me feel much better about taking charge of my own care... and my doc usually is really understanding and helpful, so I dunno WHY I'm suddenly feeling so funny about calling him... *sigh* I just might do that. I haven't decided yet, 'cause I've been reading loads (despite what I said :shy:) and it appears that between 9-10 weeks it is pretty common for the m/s to ease... PLUS what you said, Lu, about missed m/c being pretty rare... (I have that book too, think I'll check it out tonight... )PLUS the fact that its not actually totally gone, just easing; I've been heartburny/burpy all morning... *sigh*
I think I might just sit tight 'til my scan, maybe get thru the weekend and see what Monday brings and if I'm still freaking then I'll ring the doc... least then I'll be 10 weeks and won't look so bleedin' paranoid! 8-[

Lunch time and I'm REEEEEEEALLY not hungry... Might go shopping... :D Retail therapy, although the last thing I need is more clothes that (hopefully! :-k) won't fit me in 3 months... maybe new makeup ;)

xxx

just wanted to drop off some :hug: for you hun.

New shoes will fit you in 3 months time!! :winkwink: Unless you get big fat swollen feet with water retention......

Enjoy your retail therapy hun and I hope nothing else freaks you out over the weekend but definetly call your doctor if you still need reassurance...thats what they are paid for after all!! :hugs:

:hug:

Hun if your struggling with the m/s just try and eat through it!!

I know your a big eater like me lol and it worked for me!! I wasnt hungry at all but i just picked picked picked and it seemed to help me tons!!

Mine did ease off around 9/10 weeks and then came back with a vengeance for 2/3 weeks then eased off to be non existent so try not to worry!!

Aw...petal!!! I so know how you feel.....

Hey, just try and step back a cotton pickin minute....remember a missed mc is when the spermie and eggie meet but dont imbed properley...for the mere fact you have had ms and sore bbs etc- is a MAHOOOSIVE tell tale sign that ur beany is well and truly comfy in that uterus of yours!!!

So I know its hard crap to go thru sweetie, but relax and try distracting yourself a little!!!

Take care petal xxx:hug::hug::hug:

How are you doing this morning hon?:hug:

Howdy ladies! Thanks for your posts!!

Hope you are all enjoying your weekends!!!
Im having a paranoid one... :shy: ... Last night had very sore bbs, was exhausted, etc. I slept about 10 hrs and woke up hungry this morning... no ms... Had brekkie, a shower and went grocery shopping and now Im exhausted and hungry again and my back hurts... Just ate a bit of lunch and am TRYING to get the get up and go to head to the gym... I just have NO energy!!! *sigh* I just dunno... Am paranoid that bbs seem smaller again, but then again maybe not... :wacko: I think Ive resigned myself to calling the doc on Monday. :shy:

Think I might have a nappy poo instead of the gym... there's a compromise :rofl: Its the weather here too, FREEZING and peeing rain. loverly.

Have a great day ladies!!

:wohoo::wohoo::wohoo: I found you!!! I was looking everywhere for SWISSMISS pregy journal! :roll::dohh:

Anyway, YAY! youre here! :yipee:

:hugs::hugs::hugs: sorry your not feeling well darl! It will ease off and if you are REALLY worried...ring your dr or MW! :dance: Im doing well, and thanks for the comments in my journal too!

Yay, now Ive found you...I can stalk you MUAHAHAHA *she laughs in an evil dracula way* As for the tiredness...its normal! Remember your body is trying to do 2 things at once! Keep you alive, and grow an extra person! :hugs::hugs: So get used to it! The more pregy you get the more nana naps you will need! :winkwink: TRUST ME!!!!!!! :winkwink:

Hi hun, sorry you are worried but it's only natural. I would defo ring doc if you're still worried this week. You are bound to be tired, sorry exhausted, you ae going through huge changes physically and emotionally and it takes some adjusting and getting used to. Don't be too hard on yourself. A couple of weeks and you'll be inthe 'enjoying it' stage and feeling better. xx

Howdy all!
How's everyone?? What a lovely day it is here!! Hope you're all having a fab sunday. I am pleased to announce I feel like shite again!!! :rofl: Have barely eaten since breakfast, have no appetite, heartburn, and a mouth full of saliva... :sick:
*sigh* I think I'd better relax and just go with it or I will be posting paranoid entries every day!! Yeesh. I just wish that stupid scan date would come soon!!! *sigh*

I decided to tempt fate and make sloppy joes for dinner - dh has never heard of them can you imagine?!? - but Ive had such an aversion to meat since getting pg Im not sure I can eat it now!!! :sick: oh well... ill give it my best shot!

Wishing you all a luverly evening!!
:hugs:

heylo you.

glad you're feeling like crap again :rofl: well I am not but I am in a wierd way - I guess it's reassuring when you feel like poo. I had days when I felt great and days when I was exhausted and sick... so it's normal... but if you really worry, go to the docs just to ease your mind.

I had never heard of sloppy joes but I just googled it and EWWW :sick: :rofl: well I hope you managed to keep some of it down.

Loads of :hug:

Have a lovely rest of the weekend. xxx

LOL Wendy how on earth can you stomach that? Mad!!

hey you, glad all is going well, but sloppy joes r u mad? :rofl:

Morning all!!!

:rofl: Ok, so I am mad!!! :D
Eating them was absolutely fine, couldn't taste the meat for all the sauce, but oh MY the heartburn/nausea afterward!?!? WON'T be doin' that again for a loooooooong while!!! :rofl: Hadda take another one of my nausea pills last night or I'da had NO chance of sleeping. Instead fell into a nice drugged slumber at about 11pm... :rofl:
Feel fine this morning 'cept quite tired... and I can feel the heartburn "under" the effects of that pill... hope some brekkie will ease it...

Nothin' else to report really... I hate Mondays, I wish it were Friday 12th September already, and my colleague's daughter has chicken pox. Good thing I told her I am pg, she warned me not to come too close. I've had them twice though, so I'm not being too paranoid...

Luuuuuurv you all ladies!!
:hugs:

Hey Missy!
Dont worry about the chicken pox thing - I was 'exposed' (très dramatique... as Keith describes me almost everytime I open my cake hole.....) when I'd juts found out I was pg and the m/w and Dr both said not probs if you've already had them.

You are sounding V preggy to me Wendy.....I dont think you have a thing to worry about but as I said before, if you ever feel like you do remember 'You are the Boss of this bean'!!!!

:hug:

Wendy, I LOVE sloppy joes!!! Absolutely love it but DH can't stand it so I end up having to make batches of it for myself. You've got me thinking about it now and it's all I want to eat! I don't eat red meat so I always make it with soy mince, doubt you'd ever notice the difference.....

Hope you have a lovely Monday if that's possible!!

:hug:

Hmmm not heard of a sloppy joe but it looks suspiciously like a Scottish mince n gravy piece except with ketchup instead!
Nice to hear you are still feeling like poo, gives a nice bit of reassurance in itself that all is going well!

:hug:

Erm....I just looked at sloppy joe's.......so basically, you ate a spagetti bolognase sandwich??? You are grrrrrrrrrrosss.....

x

OH so thats what sloppy joes are!!!!!! Never had them before! Sound interesting! I think that I would prefer spagetti and meatballs! mmmm nom nom nom....

Anyway, glad you are feeling the effects of being pregy! :rofl: Im glad Im past that stage! :haha: :blush: sorry! But it just seems to last forever when you are sick!

:bunny: take care and will pop in again soon! :flower:

Im glad it gave you heartburn lol ... serves you right for eating such a monstrosity loll!!

10 weeks tomorrow hun ... YAY!!

Heeeheee heartburn from manky joes - well I am not surprised.

As Lisa sad - you sound very preggy so try not to worry too much. I know, easier said than done though :D

xxx

Howdy ladies!!!

10 weeks and STARVING this morning!!! ugh... lookout cafeteria, preggo me is on the way!!! :rofl:
I seem to be at that stage where I'm not :sick: anymore - or at least not all the time - but the minute I get too hungry it hits me... although having said that, its mostly at night now. If I've not got dinner in front of me at like 5.00pm the nausea hits until I manage to shove sth in... Better start having snacks around I guess...

Yesterday had a HUGE fight with DH :cry: :cry: :cry: - he got peeved off 'cause we were talking about jobs in other cities with a couple of his friends (he's looking for sth new) and one of them has an offer in Dubai. He said never in his life would he work there and I said 'you'd never work ANYWHERE except Bern Switzerland and you know it, you're too much of a home boy." (well its TRUE! He won't consider coming back to Canada with me either, which is a bit of a sore spot with me)... apparently that ticked him off, so he spent the rest of the night provoking me!!! :cry: 'specially about being pg and my pg symptoms; he basically said that I'm a big wuss and that the nausea and food aversions were all in my head and I should just buck up and get over it! :cry: :cry: The worst bit is, I don't even complain, I just don't eat what I don't feel like and go to bed when I'm tired!!!

Somehow we seem to have made up overnight (I woke up in his arms this morning) but now I'm REALLY reluctant to talk to him about anything anymore... :cry: ... *sigh* I swear some days he's the most sensitive sweet man on the planet and other days I think he's Shrek's big brother...

Anyway, sorry for the rant... Gonna go pig out on brekkie now! :D Is it Friday yet?!?!? :rofl:

:hugs:

Yay, you're 10 weeks today!!!:happydance:

Sorry about your fight last night, I wonder was it just your DH hitting out because you hit a nerve with him? As far as I'm concerned, if you're feeling like poo because you're pg there's no problem moaning to your DH about it because, lets face it, he's half the reason it's happening! If the worst they have to deal with during this time is a bit of moaning then they should count themselves lucky - that's my justification anyway! Glad you made up though, I hate it when there's bad feeling between me and DH, I'm such a wuss!

Hope you've enjoyed a lovely big brekkie!! No, not Friday yet though, I wish......

:hissy: Men are soooo inconsiderate sometimes! Glad you made up though!

Happy 10 weeks :happydance:

:hug: :hugs: :hug:

men are poo sometimes hun - glad you made up!!:hugs:
Happy 10 weeks chick - you will be moving over soon then? :happydance:
can't wait to see your scan pics - has your appointment come through yet?
thanks for coming over to my "house". still can't actually believe i have a preggo journal!! :happydance:

Men can be such men sometimes!! :dohh: Can you imagine how much they would complain if they were the ones that had to go through pregnancy? They would have maternity leave from Week 4 because the sickness would be too much for them and would confine them to bed for the entire time!!! :rofl::rofl:
Glad you made up though hun! :hugs:

:hug:

:dohh: Men!!

They can be so childish at times. I dont believe for one second he thinks you're a wooss - he's just going for your weak spot coz you reminded him of his. :hug:

Abso-bloody-lutely!!!!!!! Totally agree!!!

10 Weeks!!!! Wahey!!!! :hug::hug::hug:xxx

Awww THANKS girls! I tell you, all I want from him is a little understanding, I REALLY don't think that's too much to ask! :growlmad: ugh. Anyway, best leave well enough alone or I'll just get riled up and we'll fight again tonight.

Little update: I went for a JOG at lunch!!!!! Wonders will never cease!!!!! :rofl: Am totally knackered now though! But in a good way really. Felt sick directly after the run though, like how I used to feel when I overdid it in a race... I think maybe an hour (even if it is at a SNAIL'S pace) is too much at the mo'... will try 45 mins next time.
Had a good sports bra on today, so bbs weren't too too bad. Felt them, but not like last time - also I think they really ARE less sore... (paranoia returning briefly... :hissy:)

I was posting in sjnams journal just now, and realized that my m/s is over for the most part but I never posted my fav things to eat while it was around! Actually, they are STILL my fav things to eat; I don't feel nauseous anymore but I sure dont' want much in the way of food variety! :shy: For some reason I am off foods that one has to CHEW... straaaaaaange... So, here it is, my list of fav foods from week 4 to 10! :D (sorry to bore you all, its for posterity! :rofl:)

- soups, particularly "huttensuppe"
- yogourt, esp Heidi berry-bichermuesli
- cheese slices and La Vache qui Rit type cheese (!??! no idea !!??)
- fruit, esp berries and apples (funny that I don't mind chewing apples!??)
- my fav take away curry; so creamy and yummy and mmmmhhhh!
- spaghetti with rosee sauce mmmmmhhhh think that might be dinner tonight!!
and my all time eat-every-night-if-I-could favourite:
- mashed potatoes with milk, salt, loads of pepper and cheese... HEAVEN!!!

Things I CANNOT stomach and/or just don't feel like anymore, even now in the absence of m/s:
- meat/fish, any kind in any form. Ick ick and more ick.
- chocolate!!!! would you believe that?!?!? I used to eat at least a square or two of dark chocolate or a coupla Lindor balls a day!!!
- salads; I dunno, too much chewing I guess!!! :rofl:
- coffee, although that's coming back as long as its about 0.5 part coffee 300 parts milk ;)
- beer/wine, even the non-alc stuffl; honestly the thought/smell makes me gag and gives me heartburn! And I was a... um... connaisseur... :shy:

Right, think that's it for now! :D Thanks for indulging my whim ladies! Have a great aft!!

xxx

- beer/wine, even the non-alc stuffl; honestly the thought/smell makes me gag and gives me heartburn! And I was a... um... connaisseur... :shy:
xxx

I was a wine connoisseur as well!! :rofl: Just before we got our :bfp: I guess DH didn't think it would be happening any time soon so he ordered 28 (yes 28 ) bottles of wine from our wine club (yes we are members of a wine club :shy: saves carrying all our bottles up to the checkout looking like winos!) and now I can't drink any of it and there are some of my all time favourites in there!! :hissy: Just have to think about the good of the :baby: and how worthwhile all these sacrifices are!! :rofl:

Enjoy your afternoon hun

:hug:

Bless you, im glad you seem to be over the worst of the m/s now, and ignore hubbys silly comments before, he hasnt been pregnant so what would he know? :hugs:

What time is your scan on the 12th ... mines at 11.00am!! Hopefully they havent given you a late afternoon one, youll be pacing around all day like a mad one.

ah les mecs! les hommes ! qu'est que ca peut etre con des fois !!!!

bien t'occupes pas de ce qui racontre tu prends soin de toi ma puce ...et puis apres tout rien ne t'empeche de vomir un peu sur son coussin et il va vite comprendre que tu fais pas de cinema !!!
et si tu as besion que je viennes lui botter le cul J'arrive de suite!!!!
bisous!

Morning all!!

Hey Miel! Merci! J'te ferai signe!!! :rofl:

@PP - mine is at 11.30!!! :D Gosh I can't WAIT. Its Wednesday today and I'm already thinking 'in two days its Friday, which means in two days its only 2 weeks to the scan!!' ... ugh... two whole weeks?!?!? Im gonna go bonkers!!!!!!!!
To make matters worse, I read in wtewye "if you don't feel like your uterus is growing, phone your practictioner"... WTF!??!? HOW pray tell, does one know if one's uterus is growing??!?! *sigh*
I'm def getting a bit rounder around the middle though, but I honestly don't know if its baby, bloat, or the fact that I went from running about 35km a week to doing next to nothing...!?!?!? I dont' seem to have put on weight anywhere else though, which I'm taking as a good sign.

Last night had my spaghetti and rosee sauce, but too much of it I think, and it was a different sauce than normal and it gave me heartburn that lasted 'til now!! :cry: ugh... Am drinking red berry juice, that seems to help, and will go have my hot milk with a splash of coffee :rofl: shortly - that usually clears the rest up...

Other than that, not much new... Goin' out for curry and a movie tonight - have my anti-:sick: pills in my purse just in case. The prob is gonna be explaining to my girlfriend why I'm not having a beer with dinner... ugh...

Wishing you all a great day!
xxx

Oh you are having it rough baby!!!
I wouldn't know if my uterus was growing either so I wouldn't give that a second thought!! Do you seriously do 35km runs?? I hav'nt run anywhere in about 15 years :rofl: Enjoy your curry tonight chicken and I hope you can come up with a good excuse for not downing the beer xxxxxxxx

Ring your practioner if your uterus isnt growing? :hissy::hissy: What on earth?

That is the silliest thing ive ever heard :rofl:

My 4D scan is an hour so at some point we'll both be looking at our little beans halfway around the world from eachother, how cute :cloud9: Late morning is a good time, you dont have to get up soooo early yet you havent got to wait all day!!

:rofl: curry and anti :sick: pills! hehehe! burp! ahhh!
Good luck with trying to explain away no alcohol! Maybe you could say you dont feel well??? UGH curry! Not my idea of a nice dinner out! :blush: not into curries! Hope you are ok though! Hang in there...you will soon be out of the 1st trimester into the 2nd before you know it! :flower:

I loooove curries so I'm very jealous of your night out!!

I know what you mean about belly being rounder and not sure of the reason, I'm there too! Only slightly rounder at the moment mind you but I'm putting it down to the bloat at the moment!! I read that bit about feeling your uterus growing too and couldn't believe it!! How the hell are you meant to be able to tell?!?!?

Ah well, have a great day and maybe have one beer tonight and try to make it last!

:hug:

Hi hun. Wow reading your journal has really made me want a curry!! I love em! The hotter the better!! wow my mouth is actually watering!!! :rofl:
WTF - uterus not growing?????? how the bloody hell would anyone know whether their uterus is growing or not? Bonkers. :wacko:
hope you have a great day hun. xxx

Morning!

So I renegged on the curry last night. HAD TO. Thank goodness she was understanding... Had to leave the office at 3.30pm was feeling ABSOLUTELY shite!!! :( I must of looked it too, 'cause she didn't even complain... I dunno, I have days/nights like that every 3 or 4 days or so... yesterday I had heartburn/nausea the WHOLE day, but was nevertheless hungry at lunch/dinner. Just no matter what I ate it made me feel :sick: after. I think I might have overdone it on the garlic - garlic in the spag sauce on Tuesday evening, and then yesterday there was pesto in my tomato/mozz sandwhich at lunch... I know better now! Sticking to bland foods for sure!

Also, I have this constant burny throat... anyone else? its not really SORE but like HOT... makes me want to drink constantly but I can't call it thirst... weird... better note that one down for my doc. Hope I'm not coming down with sth, but that would mean I've been coming down with it for at LEAST 3 weeks! :rofl: ... yeah...
Bbs not so sore this morning PANIC! ... *sigh* I know, I know... it seems to happen the day after I've had to use that sickness pill... I wonder if there are painkillers in it too?? Regardless, will try NOT to freak out, and go for a run at lunch instead ;)

Ok, brekkie time, am nice and hungry this morn and since my activia kicked in (aaaahhhh!) :rofl: I don't feel 1000kg anymore!

:hugs: to all my fav ladies!!!
xxx

Feeling much better this morning, took my anti:sick: pill last night and slept like a druggie EXCEPT for getting up 3 times to pee. again. now even the pills can't keep away the urge! ack!

sorry you are feeling so bad hunni - but yay for feeling better today!
so.....activa works does it? i look 9 months pregnant already i am so bloated!! :blush: might give that a go then!!
:hug:

Soooooooo jealous the Activia has kicked in for you!! I'm still suffering a bit but I'm having one every morning so fingers crossed it'll do something!

Sounds like your friend is really understanding which is great, there's only so much you can do when you're feeling that nasty.

Hope you enjoyed your brekkie and today is a bit better for you!

:hug:

Sorry you felt so bad yesterday but at least its been followed by a good day! Hope you get out for that run at lunch, bit of fresh air is a great pick me up! :hugs:
Shame about the curry though, i've actually found that curries and stronger tasting foods are sitting better in my stomach right now! Weird how the m/s affects us all so differently!!

:hug::hugs::hug:

oooooo i have just found your journal!! woo hoo :)

does activia help with bloating?! jeewizz, i did not know this information!! im a wee bit bloated!


glad you seem to be able to control your morning sickness, its a learning curve about what baby will accept and not accept!! mine eased off at about 11 weeks and now just gets better everyday so there is a light at the end of the m/s tunnel!

love your pics of bump too, its growing!!! how exciting!!

Hey Hun!!!

We can't win can we? We want pg symptoms, but only the manageable ones!!! lol

Hope :sick: only lasts a few more weeks, IF THAT FFS!!! lol

xxx:hug::hug::hug:

I slept like a druggie

That my dear is the funniest thing i have heard all day :rofl::rofl:

:rofl: good description, that is how I feel for a good few hours after I wake up!

Great journal to read swiss! Your just going to have the neatest little bump and then fit straight back into your jeans after your pg, I can tell! Lucky you!
Glad to hear your feeling better today, gosh and heres me wishing for m/s!

Might try that auctivia thing myself, its great what you find when your being nosey!:hug:

hey sweets:wave:glad you are feeling better apart from the heartburn! Its horrid I know! I used to take a pocket sized bottle of Mylanta (couldnt stomache the Gavascon) with me wherever I went! I constantly had a white moustache from the Mylanta....I looked like I was foaming at the mouth! :rofl:
im sure our rubbish collectors used to think I was some kind of crazy woman with all the bottles of Mylanta in the bin! :rofl:
This time round though It hasnt been quite as bad...just if I eat something spicy or with too much garlic (I loooove garlic)....:lol:
Take care sweety...:hugs::hugs:

Hiya hunnies!!!

Having a very bizarre morning... Felt terrible again last night, sore throat, cold, exhausted... slept and felt much better when I woke up but now Im' not sure if its coming on again... VERY strange. I've given in to the fact that I might be getting sick 'cause now I have a headache and burny eyes too... :cry: hope not but what can I do?!?! not much... Still have an appetite, which is a good sign...

Howdy Katiensam and Jacqui! Thanks for poppin' in girlies! Actually, just to set the record straight I was/am bloated 'cause uh, well, nothing was goin' on down there for 3 or 4 days at a time - the Activia helps w/ that!
Gosh Jacqui I hope you're right! I'm now starting to be paranoid that I'm not big enough for 10 1/2 weeks! I'm sure my girlfriend was starting to properly 'show' by now... then again, I know, I know, everyone's different! :shy:

What else can I obsess about?? :rofl: No, I'm done. Not much to report. Am trying the curry again tonight, and tomorrow a lovely looooooooooooooong lay in and then the Madonna concert!

Have a great Friday ladies!!
:hug:
xxx

Hey boo boo!!! That's my name for you today o.k??? :rofl:
Sorry I've not been in here to see you much but my head has been up my arse all week, just trying to get through the last few day's of the school holiday's without killing anyone :rofl:
Sorry you are still feeling crap chick, I hope you feel better soon :hugs:
Will be putting a pic up of my bump at tea time so come across and have a laugh xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorry that cold seems to have caught up with you, hopefully that long lie in tomorrow will help!

My friend was telling me that although she was a bit bloated and put on some weight in the earlier stages, her bump only appeared at week 20 - and she said it was literally overnight, she went to bed with nothing and woke up with an unmistakeable bump which she couldn't disguise!!

:hug:

phew that's a relief! I promise you, I'm finding a million and one reasons to worry at the mo and that's REALLY not like me! I'm kinda ho-hum-it'll-pass with my own health, but since its LO we're talking about I just CANNOT relax!! BRING ON THAT SCAN!!!!!!!! :hissy:
Feeling ok now, not 100% for sure but the sore throat has eased a bit. I think goin' to bed early last night helped too...
Lunch time and I WILL go for a run. I don't have a cough, so I'm allowed, that much I know from my doc!! :D
:hugs:

Hey Hun!!

Don't worry about ya bump size...everyones different!!!
I was small with Grace until I was about 7 months lol....and she was a small baby too, weighing 6lbs....

xxx:hug::hug::hug:

Dont worry sweet pea.......you will be ok! :winkwink: I know its easy to say and hard to do! :hugs: hang in there darl! I agree with Catster! I had a friend who did show that much until around 7 months...and she had a 5lb health bubs! :hugs:
Remember that when its your first baby (and especially if you have good abs) you dont show as much as you do if you've one already!....when its your first, your stomache muscles are REALLY tight! So it takes a little while for bubby to start "showing" so you will be ok darlin! The ones who 'show early are the ones like me who have already got a child or 2...your body just knows what to do then and thats when you show early! :blush: hope that makes sense! :blush: But i hope it puts your mind at rest! :flower:

just un petit bisou pour que tu passe un bon week end :):hugs:

HI hun, not too long now until your scan. Hope you are feeling ok. Heartburn is the worst, sometimes i get it really bad like acid reflux and i'm not even pg!
Look after yourself and don't worry too much about the size of your bump! xx

Good morning everybody!
Ugh... Mondays. My all-time fav day of the week... :wacko: NOT! I HATE Mondays with a passion, even more so now b/c I STILL can't get outta bed! *sigh* And to make matters worse, it appears that my m/s is back! :sick: ... :cry: Crap. Not as bad as it was, but I now have that 'constant lump in my chest' feeling, d'you know what I mean? Like constant indigestion... ugh... and the bbs are very sore and scratchy again... Reassuring but annoying... what can I say, I'm never happy!!! :rofl:

How was everyone's weekend? Aside from the Madonna concert, mine was pretty quiet. The concert was good but not as good as I was expecting I must admit... :( There was NO atmosphere! typical Switzerland, what can I say. 73'000 people and bof... ah well. I discovered, however, that I am INCAPABLE of staying standing in one place for so long. OMG MY BACK!!! It was applesauce after!!! Once again I've gotta say The Joys!! :rofl: Sunday I did NOTHING but:laundry::iron: and TV!! :D aaahhh..
Tonight my girlfriend's bday, dunno what to bring her and am stressing 'cause we are going to dinner at a mini brewery in the city!!! HOW am I gonna explain not drinking, it (was) my FAV beer EVER!!!... I think I'm gonna hafta pull the antibiotic excuse ;)

Ok, gonna go stalk some journals, and then try to get some work done. I have been seriously under-productive these last few weeks, better buck up! Great start to the week ladies!!!

:hugs:
xxx

Oh I was so jell about you going to see Madge!! And it was a let down??! I went for my 30th with my sister (FOUR long years ago!!!! :shock:) and it was AMAZING!!!!

The anti biotic excuse is always a winner - when are you gonna spill the beans proper???? I have to admire your will power.....I think the HPT was still warm when I started yelling my big gob off!!!

x

i used the antibiotics excuse once but then a couple weeks later i had to think of another one so i used the 'i have a major hangover from last night' excuse, together with morning sickness works a treat!!

I didnt have any bump at 10 1/2 weeks but its slowly creeping out now (still not noticeable to anyone but myself tho!!) i will try and post some pics in the bumps section so you can see.

i didnt tell anyone (but family and my best friends) until this weekend and now everyone knows, and they certainly werent expecting me to say i was 14 weeks lol!!

hope you have a nice week hun!

x

Hey again!

Katie, am I blind, or do you not have a journal (yet? ;)) I can't find it if so! Hmm, I'm starting to get a "bump" now I think, but its mostly in the evening when I swell up that I notice; its DEF not noticeable to other people yet, I tend to wear loose clothing anyway... And really at the mo, I just have a thick waist! yuck!

Howdy Lisa - believe me, I'm DYING to tell people, but I'm so paranoid after last time that I am FORCING myself to wait 'til after my scan. I've even organised a girlies night on that Friday so I can officially tell my workmates at least! (God I hope the scan goes well or I'll be swiggin' the pints for sure... :cry:... :shy:) DH's two best friends know, and I'm having a hard time believing they've not told our whole group... but y'never know, maybe I'm underestimating them. Either that or people are just playing along 'til we make it official -THAT would be very Swiss... Discretion to a fault!!! :rofl: OH, and of course my soccer team, but as I said once, they are so young and so NOT a part of the 'rest' of my life that I'm not worried about who they'll tell at all... *sigh* Im' REALLY getting sick of this bit. Bring on 2nd tri!!!!!!!!!!

Have a headache and still feel :sick: - managed a bit of yogourt/fruit at lunch, but even that didnt' go down as well as it usually does... :( I'm majorly bloated today and feel 20000000 lbs :cry: If my mate wasn't such a good friend (she's the first one I met/hung out with when I moved here!) I'd skip dinner tonight... *sigh* Checked out the restaurant's menu, there is NOTHING that I feel like eating! Ugh. This'll be an experience...

Right, sorry for the rant, I totally don't feel like working right now. Had a productive morning, that'll do! :rofl:

:hugs: girlies!

Hi hun :hugs: hope you are busy working and not skiving on BnB :winkwink:
Don't worry about your lack of bump as yet, I was speaking to my mum the other day and she said that with her first (my big sister) she was only about 90lbs in weight (she is tiny in size and height....like me :blush:) she didn't get her bump until after 5 months gone which peeved her off majorly as she got married at 5mths pregnant and on the advice of relatives bought a big flowing maternity wedding dress which it turned out she didn't need!!! :rofl::rofl:
Hope you manage to find something to eat tonight! :hugs:

:hug:

Hi Hunny!!!

How long is it to ya scan now?????:happydance:
Can't wait to see ur pics!!!!

We have decided not to tell anyone till me about 12 weeks when I eventually get the long awaited :bfp:......
I think I will really struggle, as its sorta taken over my life!!! I must tell my Mum, Dad and brother...I must- or else I will pop (literally)!!!! lol

Aw, go away m/s, you stupid thing and come to me...I will welcome ya with open arms!!!!

Happy Monday hun! lol
xxx:hug::hug::hug:

Hello Wendy,

Just popped by to try to catch up on you. Time moves too quickly and I feel like I'm running to catch up. Oh well, it's good to be busy I guess. You sound like you could do with that old morning sickness (or any time of the day sickness as the case may be) stopping. I do hope it disappears soon and then you can get on with enjoying the rest of your pregnancy.

Don't wish a bump on yourself too early. It's a blessing to be small and you will get your cutie bump just at the right time. I reckon because you are so toned, your body will not 'pop' as readily as most people. It's a good sign and shows you have strong stomach muscles, so I wouldn't give it a second thought.

If I am every lucky enough to get PG, I will pray to stay small as I am not a big person and don't fancy changing my body too much. I too want to keep running, so hope you can too as I know it's such a big part of your life.

So far so good and not too long to your scan. I'm looking forward to reading about that and hearing that you can finally relax. I think you are pretty safe as is ... but no point in telling you that ... you are like me, you would worry anyway.

As my mum would have said "it's a waste of a good worry" ... save it for something that needs worrying about.

Love ya. :friends:

Ahh hun o hope your day's picked up a bit :hugs::hugs:

Hello all!

I feel pants this morning again :( I hadda take my anti:sick: pill last night, boy was I suffering!!!! :cry: Its not really nausea like I would normally describe it, but I can't think of how to put it... like... dunno a mix between nausea/bloating/heartburn and a lump in my throat... very very yuck. And now the pill has given me a druggie hangover and I just wanna be in BED!!! :cry:

Sorry for the rant. On the upside, I managed to keep my secret, even though Reto was sat there with this big stupid grin on his face :hissy: sometimes I could KILL him!!! No one seemed to notice thank God, that's always a good thing when you're in a big group - individuals don't stand out as much! :D My roesti with mushroom sauce did NOT however agree with me... :cry: Hope today is a better eating day - I'm gonna try to run at lunch and see if that helps...

@Tishimouse: THANK YOU for dropping by! No worries, I'm also desperately trying to keep up w/ pg journals AND ttc journals and not doing a very good job of it... :shy:

What else? Reto has a job interview this morning, he was a nervous wreck, bless him... For such a big macho man, he's a huge softie really :cloud9: I hope it goes well for him. I absolutely don't want to pressure him, but I'll be glad when he finds sth else... It was a blow to his ego (and our finances!) when his job got cut right after our holiday!!! :( *sigh*

OH! And last thing: is it possible that I've "popped" overnight?!?! Good Lord, my trousers are all tight!!!! HUH!??!?! I'm wearing my (were) waaaaaaaaaay-too-big black trousers that I only put on the day b/f AF when I was super bloat and they FIT! I can't imagine putting anything else on now! ack! Maternity gear already?!?!? The weird thing is, I don't really see a "bump"... I bet I'll carry "wide" rather than out front... does that mean sth?? :)

11 days to my scan... Time does NOT fly!

:hugs: to all!!!

Morning hun. You are so good not telling anyone you know! Most people know about me already - but i am rubbish at keeping secrets especially when i am too excited! I am a nightmare at christmas and spend weeks asking oh to guess what his presents are!!! :blush:
I hope you have a better eating day. I know waht you mean about not fancying anything! every night when we are deciding what to have for dinner it is like a massive debate!! just want to REALLY want something!! i either REALLY don't want something or i am just indifferent - and then it makes me feel :sick: anyway!!!
I read that if you are all bump its a girl and if you go all the way round it is a boy! Now that was true of me the way i carried ds and dd - but my friend carried exactly the same as i did with ds and she had a girl!!! Think it more depends on your body hun - and how baby is lying etc!! are you going to find out what you are having?
have a good tuesday hun - hope your run makes you feel a bit better! :hugs:

Morning hun, hope you manage to get some good eating in today. I'm hoping that for myself too!! :D So you have "popped" have you? :happydance: I wonder if wishing is right and it could be a :baby: boy? I have heard that theory as well but to be honest my little sister had a boy and her bump was all up front, she didn't look pregnant from behind.......wonder if i'll be that lucky!! :rofl:
Hope Reto's interview goes well today, i'll be sending positive vibes Switzerlands way to help him on his way!!! :hugs:

:hug:

:hi: Hi hon!! Sorry to hear you're still feeling :sick:, that's a bit pants. But that's exciting that you might be starting to get your bump!!!! I would be very jealous if it wasn't for the fact that it looks like I'll be hiding things for a good bit longer at work!!

Hope you're feeling better today hon xxx

Hey chick, that m/s doesn't know when to take a hike does it!!!! I really feel for you being ill all the time and also having to try and hide the fact as well so as not to make people suspicious :hugs:
11 day's to go.....not long now babe, I'm sure it will fly by...I'm sooooo excited for you xxxxxxxx

Hi hun, no i dont have a journal, i was too scared to start one at the beginning and now i just enjoy stalking everyone elses! I have now posted my 'bump' pics. I found things got tight and little actually showing but i think its just where your waistline disappears first :(

hope your feeling better, not long until your scan, i hope time starts to hurry on for you so you get to see your bubs!!!

11 weeks today as well i see, thats sooo great, almost time for you to join 2nd tri!! I'll save you a good seat!! xx

11 weeks today!! Woohooo!!

The wait for the first scan is always a drag hun, youll get there its not long to go!! Me on the other hand am thinking "OMG only blah blah days until my scan, where has the time gone"

YAY nearly past the first tri!!! EXCITING!!!!! Then you can join us in 2nd tri!!! :wohoo: I will be waiting for ya darl! :winkwink:
Well, hope to hear about your scan soon......I know its hard waiting and it seems like forever! :hugs::hugs:

Woop woop hun, nearly at the magic 12 week mark! :happydance:

Hey girlies!

And time draaaaaaaaaaaaaaags on again!!! ugh! 10 days to go! I refuse to make a ticker, I find it makes the days go even slower!!! :rolleyes:

So I'm HUNGRY this morning! yea! Actually, I got hungry about mid morning yesterday, after the Activia kicked in :shy:... The :sick: feeling disappeared completely thank GOD!! Went for a nice walk into town (to buy me a tomato/mozz hot sandwich mmmmmhhhh!!! giant and gooey, YUM! :D) rather than a run at lunch - I'm still struggling with low energy unfortunately - and then ran around (not literally... :rofl:) last night to a few shops; I'm starting to look at nursery furniture! :happydance: :D Got home and my lower belly and FEET were SWOLLEN you can't imagine! I think I must already be retaining water 'cause was up FOUR TIMES last night to pee!?!? WTF?!?! Isn't this supposed to be dying down a bit?!? ugh... On the upside, my skinny jeans fit again, w/ room to spare! I really think its just bloat and not baby yet, after all that!!! :shy:

I was reading Lu's post about 3lbs of... plugged upped-ness... :rofl: and now I wonder about MY weight gain... We don't have a scale, hubby refuses, he'd rather not know about his OWN weight fluctuations... :rofl: But now that I'm pg, it interests me! I was 52kg at my last doc's apmt... Hope I havent' gained too much (or not at all would be nice!)... *sigh* guess I'll have to wait and see! Story of my life at the mo'!

Right. Brekkie time! Have a lovely day ladies!!
:hugs:

I just weigh myself really because the doc said ideally not to put on any weight during the first 4 1/2 months so I'm going to try to keep to that if I can at all. Maybe buy some scales on the sly and don't tell hubby about them!

:hug:

hi hun. good news about the :sick: vanishing! and the skinny jeans fitting again. I have just been reading that the bloatedness goes and then the bump appears! my bloatedness is mad - i look about 6 months pregnant already at the moment!! :blush:
hope you are having a good day. :hug:

Post number 2 of the day! :shy: I'm an addict... and I need a break from these figures, they're doin' my head in!

Wanted to update that I WENT FOR A RUN at lunch today!! :wohoo: I dunno girlies, I keep reading about exercise in pregnancy and everywhere it says that if you were a runner b4, you can stay a runner w/ some modifications. Of course nowhere does it say what KIND of modifications except that one should not do long runs or speedwork. That's no prob, I couldn't sprint if you paid me to, and I get too tired for long runs. But should I always feel dizzy and sick after running?? I'm REALLY not going long or fast but maybe its still too much?!!? I don't think I could do much LESS, it'd not be worth getting geared up for! :shrug: I'm all confuseled. I feel absolutely FINE now, I always feel great after a workout; but just after I stop and am about to get in the shower I get a bit dizzy and sicky... *sigh* Will try to read up some more and ask the doc when I go I guess...

Off at 5 for an early movie, and, you guessed it, a curry!! :rofl: A true addict, I promise you :D I am gonna be a rolypoly I can tell!!! :cry:

Have a nice evening ladies!
:kiss:

Enjoy your curry hun, I have to wait until Saturday for mine cos DH is being a Poo!! :sulk:

:hug:

Just noticed you are 11weeks already!!! Won't be long till you toddle off to 2nd Tri! :shock:

enjoy your curry hun. I asked OH if we could have one and he said "we always have one on a saturday night. you won't enjoy it as much if we have one aswell tonight!!!" :shock: WTF!! i could eat them every night and aside from me weighing 20k stone i would be v happy!!!!!!
I think if you are feeling dizzy after running hun it might be an idea not to do it for a while - it might still be too much even though its nothing like what you did before. :hugs:

So impressed that you are still running, I could never run before I was preggo, but there is absolutely no way I could now!!!!

I'm with Michy on the running thing hun hehe!!

At least all those calories from the curry wont go to your butt though lol

ah si au moins j'avais le courage de courrir cela me ferai du bien au cul !!!

bien je pense a toi me puce et a ton bean:hugs:

Morning all! :flower:

You girlies make me laugh :D Thanks for the encouragement, but I promise you ANYONE can run! Really! That's the beauty of it! All you need is a good pair of shoes!! (Ok, pregnancy is not the time to start, we know that...) But that's what made me take it up here - I was so broke when I moved to Switzerland I couldn't afford a gym membership (they are sick expensive here, like just about everything else in this country :rolleyes:) so I bought a 100chf pair of runners and just...went! Since I play soccer I've always been fairly fit, but I promise you the first month was H-E-double-hockey-sticks!!! Now its an addiction, I couldn't live w/out it if I wanted to! ... which is the reason I'm trying to keep at it despite a few protests from the bbs and the back... *sigh* I guess I'll leave it today and maybe have another go on Friday... Twice a week seems all I can manage at the mo... I'm "listening to my body" like all the websites say!!! :shy:

Movie was ok, the Nanny Diaries w/ Scarlet what's-her-face... Nothin' to write home about though. The curry was FAB as usual! we talked the guy into promising us a bigger portion the next time, I always come away still hungry and wanting more!! :rofl: I know he'll remember too 'cause we are ALWAYS there!! :rofl:

Speakin' of hunger, I'm STARVING again this morning! My tumbly is gurgling like mad!! Think its 'cause I woke up at 4am and couldnt' get back to sleep :grr: Really frustrating! Had a headache last night too, I have a feeling it might've been from lack of fluids... Gotta remember to drink more on days when I run...

Right, that was a novella... sorry 'bout that! :shy: Have a great day ladies! 8 days 'til my scan!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!
:hugs:

Morning hun. Glad you enjoyed your curry - apparently i am going to have live on it for the next 8ish months!!! And yay for bigger portions next time!! :wohoo:
8 days will fly by - I promise! Can't wait to see pics of your scan!!
take care - seems hunger has replaced :sick: :yipee: can't wait til that happens to me!!!! Have a good thursday chick!
xxxx

Wow, 8 days!!!!!!!:happydance: Bet you can't wait!!!

You're so good to keep up the running, I swear I'm going back to the gym now that our weekend away is over and our guests have gone. But then there's always a reason to avoid it!!:rofl:

:hug:

8 Days is no time at all!! :happydance: What a fab restaurant that they are going to give you bigger portions next time....hope they don't give you a bigger bill as well!!! :rofl:

Hope you have a good day today and manage to quiet your grumbly tummy!! :hugs:

:hug:

hey voice of reassurance :rofl:
RUNNING!!!!!! ARE YOU FECKIN JOKING????????? My body would go into absolute cardiac arrest if my feet broke out into anything faster than a slow jog ( and even that's pushing it) :rofl:
I do envy you though chick, I havn't had that sort of energy for about 5 years now, good food, a happy marriage and contentment have made sure of that lol.
8 day's to go :happydance: :happydance: I'm reallllllllly excited....I might pop on a plane and come and wait outside the scan room so I can be there to jump all over you and hubby :rofl: ( I'm not joking)

8 days to go!!! woooooo how exciting!!

Hope you fill that belly up, mine seems to have turned into mary poppins' bag, i just cant find the bottom!! argh!!

xxx

You know what i just had a thought ... im coming into your journal to write

"8 days to go" :happydance:

And i bet your going to write that in mine too :rofl::rofl:

Bet your getting all excited now!! This time next week you'll be buzzing all around the house full of energy and you wont be able to sleep, i just know it!!

How are you doing today hon???

:hug:

Howdy all!

I'm late gettin' on here today, would you believe I've actually been working all morning?!?! :shy: heh... happens once in a while! :rofl:
Feeling absolutely fine today :sick: wise, I think its taken a hike for good :wohoo:, although I'm a bit worried about this headache. I've had it 3 days straight now... its not BAD, but its there, more like a tension really than a headache, up from the back of my neck... bizarre. I'm so afraid of blood pressure probs 'cause that's in my family... although, being fit helps I think... I hope. Am going for a run now to see if I can ease it a bit...

Last night totally PIGGED OUT on cheese quiche - 2 GIANT pieces... MMMHHH! The one thing the Swiss CAN do is anything with cheese in it!! :rofl: Gotta have a healthier day today now though, that stuff is loaded w/ fat!
Hockey game tonight, this'll be fun. Our ENTIRE group of friends goes to these things and I am beer drinker extraordinaire... HOW will I get outta this one!?? *sigh* ah well, let'em suspect. I'll just say I'm driving... :shy:

That's it for now girlies, off for my run! Wishing you all a FAB friday, and a relaxing weekend!
:hugs:

Hey no focusing on the negative of your food intake....remember cheese is a great source of calcium which is great for you and bean right now!!!:rofl:
Hope your headache eases off a bit, did going for the run help??

Enjoy the rest of your Friday and have a fab weekend! :hugs:

:hug:

p.s. did I read that right? Are you actually working?? :shock: :winkwink:

I agree with sj - think of calcium NOT fat!!!
just wanted to drop in and say have a fabulous weekend hun. xxx

mmmmmmm quiche!! I love quiche, esp home made ones :cloud9:

Hope you have a lovely weekend hun and dont get caught out at the soccer game tonight!!

Hope your headache is better. Have a lovely weekend. xxx

hope you're having a lovely weekend and aren't sick! how exciting, not long until your scan, can't wait to see the pic! xx :hugs:

Good morning good morning!

Mondays... loooove them... :rolleyes: I should still be in BED! Do you realize I hadda get up THREE times last night to pee???? I'm like clockwork - if I drink anything past about 6 or 7pm, then its 11pm, 1am, 4am and then when I get up!??!!? aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!! :growlmad:
*sigh* On the upside: 4 days to my scan!!!!!!! not counting today of course :) :wohoo: :happydance: If this week would just FLY by!!!

Hope everybody had a nice weekend! Mine was VERY quiet. Went nursery furniture "window shopping" on Sat all by my lonesome - DH had a handball team weekend... Got home around 2pm, ate lunch and remained on my sofa shoving food down my gob 'til I went to bed!! :shy: That's what happens when its crappy :rain: weather and I stay up too late the night b/f! :shy: Could not be asked to move my behind... :shy:

Went for a run yesterday morning though, think it might've been a bit too long and I didn't eat enough to make up for it evidently b/c I'm STARVING now!!! HOW'm I gonna wait 'til 9?!?!? :rofl: Dinner at the in-laws, they are so proud... :cloud9: Just hope mil doesn't decide she gets full authority 'cause my mum doesn't live here... :cry: I hate that! She's already trying to tell me what kind of nursery furniture to buy (i.e. cheap crap that I don't want!!!!) :grr: *sigh*

Right, time to journal stalk and pass the time 'til brekkie!! :D :hugs: to everybody, have a great start to the week!

p.s. 12 weeks tomorrow!!?!?! :yipee: Time for another bump pic!! :D
xxx

Wow, can't believe you're 12 weeks tomorrow, you're so close to 2nd tri now!!! You're Saturday sounds like it was bliss to be honest, I would have been quite happy with that!

Hope it goes well with the parents in law tonight. I tend to nod and smile in all the right places and then go and do what we were planning to do anyway!!

Hope you have a lovely day hon xxx

12 weeks tomorrow hun!! :yipee:
your weekend sounds like bliss to me too hun - did you see anything good whilst window shopping? can;t wait to see your next bump pic - and not long now til we can see your scan pic!! is it only 4 more sleeps? :hug:

12 weeks
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj150/WendySwiss/DSC00014.jpg

Just on quick to post these ladies, will update a bit later am busy bee at work today! :hissy:

:hugs: to all who remembered my milestone! :D GOD I hope everything is ok on Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
xxx

your not getting smaller hun, it looks like it is spreading up towards your ribs. Your top pic shows and indent coming down your rib to your "belly" while your second pic this indent has been filled in making you look flatter. I think you are progressing nicely!! :hugs:

:hug:

12 weeks today! :happydance: :happydance:

Hey sweets, just popping by to see how my old ttc pal is doing. Wishing you luck in the second tri and getting inspired to get my own bump! Hope the scan goes well too hun, you're looking fab xx

I agree with sjnams that your shape is subtly changing and making you flatter from your ribs down to your tummy. Definite small progress and I think a blessing to stay lovely and slim for as long as possible. Don't forget to use something like bio-oil to keep your skin soft and stretchy as you have beautiful skin and need to protect it (do I sound like you Mum? :shy: ) sorry honey, I am sure you have already thought of this.

Congratulation on your '12 weeks today' celebrations. You'll have to move to the 2nd trimester now which must give you a warm feeling. :flower:

Hey hun, finally got a chance to get round to checking the journals!!

Happy 12 weeks!!

As for your lil bump ... your filling out more at the top, ribcage kinda area than the bottom, i did that and then the bottom will start to fill out!! So dont worry ... give it 2 more weeks and you'll notice more of what i mean once youve got a 14 week piccy to compare!!

Hiya ladies!

THANKS for your words of encouragement, I feel better now... I think its partly also 'cause bloat is going away, phew. And when I took that pic at 9 weeks I was REALLY, um, (tmi) constipated. Like seriously. So that might account for the 'bigger' lower half of me at 9 weeks... Guess I'll just have to wait and see. DH is impatiently waiting for me to 'pop', I think its not real to him until I have a bump! Hope the scan helps with that...
Anyway, TWO DAYS!!!!!!!! Two more days! I'm going kooky! :wacko: I dreamt of my scan last night, I don't think it was good but I can't remember. I just remember feeling terrified the whole night! Good Lord, I really am a paranoid nutter!

Tishi, THANKS, as always for the great advice. And no, I hadn't really thought of it I must admit... any suggestions as to what kind of oil? I have NO clue in that dpt. I'm pretty girly when it comes to clothes and shoes, but as for beauty products... Total ijit. Tomboy. Never use 'em... unless you count like Nivea cream after the shower! :shy:

What else... hmmm... not much really. went over to my girlfriend's after my curry - which btw is HORRID as a takeaway, very bizarre, i think it takes on the taste of the aluminum container! ick! wont' be doin' that again! Hadda walk there 'cause dinner left me feeling so bloated and yucky. Walked back too... and the run at lunch... no WONDER I'm starving today!!?! :D Time to get some foooooooood! :D

:hugs: to you all!
xxx

Hey sweets!! You made 12 weeks!!

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i119/moogsmum/woohoo.gif

I think you'll see a change in your shape now coz you'll start to have a proper baby bump and not a bloaty bump. I definately went up and then back down at almost the same point as you have. After 12 weeks you get a truer 'bump'.

Have a good day and send me a PMif you hear a large bang anywhere close by so I can go out and spend like its the end of the world!!!
x

2 days to go!! :happydance:

I agree with you about takeaway curries!! Tastes so different to when you sit in and eat, it's weird! Must be the containers like you say.
Don't be too impressed by my housework endeavours, I am after all a housewifey now on an extended career break so I have to do something with all the hours I have to fill while at home!! :rofl: I live in the cleanest house in town right now but I guess I should enjoy that while I can because no doubt that will all change by spring next year!! :happydance:

Hope you have a fab day hun! :hugs:

:hug:

Hey baby xxxxx HAPPY 12 WEEKS!!!!
oooooh, how quickly time is going....2 more days til you see your little bean :happydance:

Nice bump! Looks like everything's progressing well! I really should start taking some photos so I have my progress up to date but I'm so pale it looks awful! I will though, honest!

It's quite nice being busy at work from time to time isn't it, makes the day go much faster! Sounds like you've been really busy with your exercise though, I really have to get back into it, I've been really bad and lazy lately.... Keep saying to myself that once the first tri is over I'll have lots more energy and will be more able for it but think I'm just kidding myself really!

Have a fab day hon xxx

Hi Wendy,

I recommend a product such as bio oil. Here is a picture so you know what it looks like.

http://www.nutrisun.co.uk/bsearch.asp?action=search&brandq=bio%20oil&whichoption=

I bought mine from a wholesalers near where I live and use it after my showers all the time. It smells like bergamot and honeysuckle and is an oil that dries into your skin really quickly, leaving it feeling like velvet. It's expensive, but one 200ml bottle lasts me for almost 2 years and I use it every day.

Otherwise you can buy something like cocoa butter, which is also highly recommended to help prevent stretch marks and indeed to treat them afterwards for those ladies who get them.

It's a good idea to start now and especially with winter coming up as your skin lacks sunshine and suffers from the dryness of indoor heating systems.

:hugs:

Hi hun, how exciting 12 weeks and nearly scan time! xx

2 more sleeps to go!! So exciting!! I cant wait to see little wendy bean

MORNING!!!!!!

OMG MY SCAN IS TOMORROW!?!?!??! :wohoo: :wohoo: :wohoo: !!!!!!! I'm slightly freakin' out, can you tell!?!? I'm sure I won't sleep at all tonight! :wacko:
Bit worried about Wishing too since we haven't heard anything...

Nothin' new this morning, was starving but just had brekkie... could go for another cappucino though... Im' really trying to watch it, not just eating "because I can" - I've always had a mahoosive appetite, but my sports have made up for it... now that Im barely doing anything I don't wanna fall into that trap where instead of exercising I'm shoving food down my gob!

Last night made myself peach crisp, mmmmhhh if I do say so myself! :D My first craving for sweet food since my bfp, seriously! That was dinner not dessert so I don't feel too guilty and there were a TON of peaches and the topping is made w/ oatmeal, so not all that unhealthy either... Goin' for a run at lunch too.

Looking forward to this weekend, DH and I are goin' up to Brienzersee, a lake just past interlaken to a wellness hotel - I'd got him a gift certificate there for LAST year's bday but we're using it to celebrate this year's! :rolleyes: 5 course meal, "adventure" room, wellness and hiking! Should be fun, I just hope the weather plays along, at least on sunday... :huh:

OH! Last thing, not really much to do w/ pg but gotta say it. I work for the financial part of a Fund. My good friend works in the project part and she's just got herself a new position in a completely diff dpt - now her boss wants me to transfer to projects (which is where I started initially but only stayed for 2 weeks when this position opened up!)... I have NO IDEA what to do. I haven't told my boss that I'm pg yet, but the project boss knows. What she DOESN'T know is that I want to reduce my working hours to 60% after the baby is born... I just don't think she's gonna go for that... And I THINK that it'd be less of a prob in finance... *sigh* :shrug: I'm TOTALLY lost. I guess I'm gonna have to tell my boss and see what he says and then discuss it w/ her. ugh. I'm just past 12 weeks, I REALLY wasn't expecting to have to deal w/ this so soon!!! We'll see I guess...

Right, sorry about that MONSTER entry, lots goin' on lately!!! lotsa :hugs: to all and a fab Thursday! one more day and its TGIF!! :D
xxx

One day to your scan!!!!!:happydance:

I know what you mean about the appetite thing. I always thought women got big because the taking the eating for 2 thing too seriously meant that they just ate whatever they fancied - I didn't realise it was because we were going to develop these massive appetites!!! I was so good with eating healthy food at the start and I can feel myself slipping now - instead of my weetabix this morning I had 2 slices of white buttery toast! Totally gorgeous but not exactly healthy!!

Sounds like it'll be worthwhile to sit down with both your bosses after your scan and see what they have to say - which job would you prefer though? But hey, it's nice to be in demand!!!

I got offered a different job the morning I got my BFP....:headspin:....so I kow where you're coming from. I'd been interviewed the day before and was pretty sure it was mine coz they'd asked me to apply. When I got the BFP I said to Keith 'What do I do about the job now!?' Anyway we decided I should just come clean - even though I was less than 4 weeks preg!! My boss is a good guy so I'd have told him ASAP but not quite the same morning!!! I told him and he appreciated it coz I could have just taken the job and there wouldnt have been anything they could have done. So he spoke to the Head and we entered 'negotiations' but couldnt really agree on something that suited both me and the school so I decided to just stick as I am.
I think at your point ie. past 12 weeks, you should have a proper talk to them - dont rush in to anything and see what they come up with.
