So I managed to stay awake on Friday until 9:30 pm, then passed out after pursuading my OH that a little would not dislodge the baby Only woke up at 4am!!! That's almost 7 hours without having to pee!!!! OH was wide awake then too, he's not used to sleeping at 9pm, so we spent a few hours chatting. I was feeling icky so he got me an orange, which surpisingly helped the nausea.

It was his birthday yesterday so we were in the pub for most of the day. It was cute, whenever any of his friends came in he let them know I'm pregnant by patting my belly. Later some of his friends were a bit drunk, starting asking every guy who walked in - "Did you get her pregnant?". OH would pipe up "No, no. That would be me." I did pretty well on the nausea front - plain salted potato chips are my new best friend. Worked wonders So today there are 2 of us feeling under the weather I can't say I have much sympathy

Seems the other night was a once off thing... I'm back to getting up 4 times a night to pee Maybe it's just natures way of preparing us for middle of the night feeds.

Awwwww. That's lovely hunnie. I wish I could go 7 hours without a pee!! Jealous much?!

Salt and vinegar crisps were my life saver.

Hope it doesnt haunt you for long.

Good luck and take care xx

I'm feeling blue today I've wanted a baby forever. And now that it's happening all I can think is: I don't like being pregnant. Don't get me wrong. If something was to happen to this baby I'd be crushed. I want it more than anything. But I feel awful, and I know they say that's all a good sign - but it's not fun. I have no energy at all. I don't know how people manage to hold down a job when they're pregnant. I'm a freelancer so work from home, but I haven't managed to do anything in the last few weeks. I get up for meals, but the rest of the time I'm lying down. I see stars when I stand up, think my blood pressure must be low. I have nausea all day and even wake up with it at night. It's another month before I go back home and can see a doctor. Wish I could just sleep for the next 7 months and wake up when it's all over. Think I might just give that a try

Hun it does get easier believe me!! This is the rotten time, no energy, queasey, but get past this and you will be swimming I promise you!!

And I would be liar if I said I ahdn't felt like you with my first one too!!

polo_princess

Aww hun i have moments where i feel like that too but dont worry like nellis said it will get easier (at least thats what im praying for lol )

I guess before your pregnant you have this wonderful vision of morning sickness and tiredness and being cranks and the once you get it and reality hits ... its not all that much fun at first!!

Sleep is good though ... i got in from work at 6pm and fell asleep until 8.30 .. now im going to be up all bloody night lol

I admire you. You fought a battle with cancer, you're a very lucky person to be able to tell the story. Cancer took two of my family members, almost 3. And if I had lost my grandmother I wouldn't be alive today. Just know that you are truly idolized.

That's so sweet of you Sorry to hear about your loss I lost my grandmother to lung cancer when I was 6, she was the best. She smoked at least a pack a day for 50 years though, so at least she served as a warning to us. She had 14 grandchildren, and none of us have ever smoked because of it.

Mine was just one of those random freak of nature things that you can't predict or prevent, and it thankfully has no genetic element so I won't need to worry about my little bean getting it later (at least no more than any parent does). I do sometimes worry that the chemo might have damaged my eggs or something and it will effect the baby. I'll feel a lot better once I've had a scan and seen that everything is fine.

Today would have been my first baby's due date Just wanted to take a moment to remember the little one I lost

Well, morning sickness is in full swing. I'm throwing up at least 4 or 5 times a day. Probably not being helped by the fact I have a head cold and have a constant stream of slime running down the back of my throat (sorry if that's TMI). My OH is very happy every time I throw up, as he feels this is a good sign that the LO is doing well. I trying to find a way for him to carry the next one.

I had a day of panic on Tuesday - I'm still taking my temps from when I was charting (yes, I know I shouldn't be), and they dropped slightly on Monday then down to the coverline on Tuesday. So I did some research and found out about the luteal-placental shift which is somewhere between 7 and 9 weeks the placenta takes over production of the progesterone and the corpus luteum dissapears. But sometimes the placenta isn't ready to take over and you need supplements to keep the progesterone up. So I took myself to the doctor and asked what I could do. Turns out in the UK they only investigate low progesteron once you've had 3 consecutive miscarriages. I wasn't at all happy about this, but my temps were back up yesterday and they're fine again today Maybe you just get a natural dip when the placenta takes over. Or maybe it was because my head is stuffy and I was breathing through my mouth. Felt a bit embarressed and getting freaked out for nothing

I'm going to Cardiff for the weekend to visit my cousin which should be fun. Leaving OH at home to pack for our big move next month. Think he's looking forward to having some peace and quite for a couple of days Poor man has had me complaining about being sick for weeks on end.
