12 +3 Days

[Rubidge]

Hello guys!

Just a quick update from myself, im now 12 weeks 3 days into my pregnancy and everything is going well so far. My symptoms have settled down, so i don't feel hardly anywhere near as sick as i did before, tired or tender breasts! Thank god!

Had my first midwife appointment last Monday 13/11/2017, that was a lot of paper work and form filling nothing really to talk about there. My first proper scan is booked for the 1st December so i will get to see my little baby looking like a baby rather than a kidney bean

The only things at the moment that are not fun are the migraines and my hips, I have been referred for physiotherapy on my hips as I cannot walk properly already, so i cant imagine what will happen when i get any bigger

For everyone out there on this journey its not easy and at what ever stage your at good luck and don't give up. All it takes is 1 egg so try not to overthink everything! Easier said than done i know! Take everything in proportion, don't cut out everything you love like a chocolate, a fizzy drink or getting your nails/eyebrows/hair done because firstly your body is already going through so much and so many changes don't deprive it of something tasty or something that makes you feel good and also anything can happen ive read so many stories of people going over board with things they've stopped doing and unfortunately it still hasn't worked out the way it was supposed to and also seen people who have carried on doing what they enjoy and the same outcome. Its like a game of Russian roulette and inst always fair so try not to be so hard on yourselves.

Good luck girls and baby dust to you all

Glad to hear your well and that your symptoms are easing up.

I'm just waiting for this sickness to stop, hopefully it won't be long! 🤞

I've got my first midwife appointment this Monday, I heard it's a very long appointment with lots of questions so not looking forward to that but will still be nice to have my appointment.

Bet you can't wait for you scan 😀 Not too much longer to wait xxx

How far along are you now? I felt sick as anything since the beginning until just recently so I was so happy when it was easing up haha!

Have you had your scan come through yet? Yes definitely the midwife appointment is just form filling and questions.

Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy ☺️ Xx

I'm 11+4 (ivf dates) but at my private scan I was measuring 4 days ahead so not sure. My NHS scan is on the 30th 🙂

I will be so happy when it eases up too, I hate being sick so much 😩 I don't have the nausea though, I just vomit all day.

Thank you 🙂 Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy too xxx

[Rubidge in reply to Amanda86]

Oh okay, I would keep the the IVF dates cos you cant really get any more accurate than them lol! I think its just the baby is measuring bigger which isnt a bad thing

Ahh i was never actually sick it was just the feeling all day! I would rather be sick than feel it. xx

[Amanda86 in reply to Rubidge]

I think they probably will use my IVF dates but guess I'll find out at my scan 🙂

I can't comment on nausea since I've not had it but I thought vomiting would be easier too. However, after vomiting 15+ times a day, losing weight and not being able to keep down any food or fluids for weeks I think both are pretty brutal!

Not long until this part is over though 🤞 Hopefully anyway lol xxx

[Rubidge in reply to Amanda86]

Oh wow yeah that is a lot to cope with! that fully drains you as well doesn't it! Yeah hopefully soon it will start calming down and easing for you xx

Glad all is well, I have my 30week scan on Monday cant wait to see how much baby has grown as my last one was 20 weeks xxx

[Rubidge in reply to Hidden]

Ahh I know that’s what I can’t wait for to see it looking like a proper baby! Did you find out what your having?xx

[Hidden in reply to Rubidge]

No we are having a surprise xx

[Rubidge in reply to Hidden]

Oh how exciting xx

[Tugsgirl]

Such a positive post. I love the advice! xx

Great news that all is going well for you! Glad your nausea etc is easing. All the best for your next scan. Very exciting times for you:-)xo

Congratulations and I’m glad you are doing well and that symptoms are beginning to ease up. I found out on Wednesday that I’m pregnant after my first attempt on IVF. And symptoms are beginning to kick off (nausea, tender breasts, feeling like I just want to be sick but haven’t yet but give it time.) we are so excited and I’m still feeling overwhelmed and that it’s all still a bit surreal. Don’t think it will sink in until I have my first scan on the 12th of December. Xx

[Rubidge in reply to Tezzabell86]

Oh congratulations! It was my first round of IVF as well Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy and i hope everything works out amazing for you! Yeah the sickness is the worst mine was on and off all day as well and got worse at night time haha xx

[Tezzabell86 in reply to Rubidge]

Thank you very much. I’m sure symptoms will increase in the next few weeks. Haha xx
