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" ...
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 - 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 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! 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...

DH is swinging between being a sweetheart (he now says "I love you both" ) 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!

Here's to the next 7 months!

Hi Wendy, welcome to the preggo journals!!!

I feel your pain with the , 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

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... This is what happens when you wait 'til 9 weeks to get your first prenatal apmt!!!

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

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!
