Scared...

I’m on my second pregnancy. It’s my partners first child and we’re both scared. I feel so sick. I feel like I don’t want to eat anything as every smell puts me off (and it doesn’t help that I work in a food shop as well...)

I also haven’t found a way to tell my own mum yet... she’s not going to be happy... and I’m 2-3 weeks gone already...

You don’t need to tell your mum hun til your ready or had your scan I waited until I was 9 weeks and then after my scan I told more ppl and family!

As for the eating hun just try and eat plain biscuits and ginger biscuits as this will help the sickness and nausea feeling too and just sip water through out the day if it gets worse just contact your GP and see if they have any advice for you. Congratulations too xx

I see my mum every so often during the week as she looks after my daughter because I work so much... surely she’d notice?

And I guess it gives me an excuse to eat ginger nuts a lot now...

Congratulations! It's early days of my second pregnancy too so I know where you're coming from. Remembering everything you have to go through can be scary! But you've done it all once, you can do it again. Both times I've been really tired and a bit green the first trimester and it got easier after that. Hopefully it will be that way for you too. Maybe it would help to tell your mum if she's going to be happy and supportive?x

Are you scared to have another baby or are you scared of your mum’s reaction?

With regards to the sickness/nausea, don’t torture yourself. See your GP/EPU and get some anti-sickness tablets. Whilst they haven’t solved my sickness problem, they’ve made it a lot more bearable.

Obviously we’re all hoping our pregnancies go well... but you know your mum and if you feel she’s going to react badly to the announcement, I’d wait until much later, maybe your first scan.

I was pregnant (ectopic) in January and didn’t want my mother in law to know. We told her I was having tummy problems, which isn’t unreasonable and can take a while to sort itself out. I’m still glad we did that...
