Pregnancy #2

[Definitelyme]

I just had a large Fanta from McDonald’s it was amazing

Has anyone went off anything they normally love? I can’t stomach Coffee

I cannot take tea when I’m pregnant. The very thought and yet when that baby pops out, I’m back on it straight away!

Last time I went off rice, which I’ve never really come back to.

This time I’ve gone off pasta.

I never liked ryvita till now



So much stuff....coffee, tea, mince, chocolate , anything spicy and cold meat

Chocolate can’t get enough of that either
I’m not a big fan of raw meat just now, so just diet has shocking! Don’t mind it if someone else has cooked it.

I’ve actually been drinking a lot of caffeine free tea this week but up until now I wasn’t enjoining it x

 

[Kitt]

Oh my god I never drink fizzy drinks but this evening I can’t stop thinking about having a coke. Also only want dry food or stodgy junk food which isn’t good at all but everything else seems too wet and makes me feel sick. Also I love fajitas but anytime my husband mentions them I’m like ugh no I can’t stand them.

My husband suggested soup for lunch the other day and I got teary and said ‘it’s too wet!’ I need to get a grip.

We told people, I’ve always found it annoying when people say they know the gender but act all coy about telling as generally I don’t care that much (sorry to be blunt!) and am more interested in the name which usually comes after birth!

True. It's only my immediate family that keep pestering I think I'll just casually drop it in conversation in the next few weeks.

Yes coffee for me and I used to be the type that couldn't function without my morning coffee (and mid morning and afternoon coffee)! I now prefer one normal tea in the morning and then caffeine free ones like lemon and ginger during the day.

Now I'm past first trimester luckily most other aversions have gone although I still find I can't eat very big meals no matter how hungry I am. Its not even because I'm full but I will have a few bites and suddenly don't fancy the rest! So I'm just trying to keep eating little and often.

I'm loving water with ice 🧊 and pickled onions. Tea gives me indigestion. I want to just snack all day every day! Also gone off chinese but always want a curry.

 

[Easilyannoyed]

I am just so thirsty all the time like I love fizzy drinks but I want them all now! I haven’t been having my daily coffee I really miss it! X

Ended up going to hospital last night with reduced fetal movements for the second time this pregnancy - am 30 weeks. Thankfully everything fine and baby started booting me violently once the CTG was attached. I think he’s shifted into a funny position which I why I could hardly feel him - shredding my nerves I really hope it doesn’t happen again as it makes me so anxious!

Glad everything was ok, it’s such a worry!

Got some brown and a little bit of red on the tissue when I wipe this morning. Brown first thing and red spotting just then. I’m back at work today so just trying to get through the day. Got my scan on Wednesday which can’t come soon enough. Do we think this is ok for 6 weeks?

Could you call the early pregnancy unit? I know you’re in for a scan but just for peace of mind.... they will more than likely tell you to keep an eye on it and see if you have any other symptoms (cramping etc). But I would just give them a quick call to see what they say

Sorry this is happening - very scary! But at 6 weeks could be implantation bleeding or a bit of old blood especially if only on wiping or very light spotting. Glad your scan is soon, thinking of you and hoping everything is fine

Yeah my manager said to give them a call and they said if it gets worse then give them a call back but it sounds normal they said. Reassured but still worried. Can’t wait for my scan.

Yeah I’m hoping it’s the baby burrowing in nice and good. Literally can’t wait for my scan.

Anyone having any cravings?

Not sure it’s a craving but I can’t get enough freezing cold fizzy drinks! Mostly Vimto (as it’s caffeine free) but loving Irn Bru which I’ve never really liked before and draft drinks from likes of McDonald and subway!

Not anymore but the first couple of months I ate loads of fizzzy sweets which I would never eat before

I had spotting on and off throughout my first trimester turned out to be nothing, not even sure what caused it but always called my midwife and I got an early scan at 8 weeks because of it too

I had implantation bleeding around that time ( had an early scan because of it) and they saw quite a lot of "pockets" of blood on the scan. Most were reabsorbed but the one that wasn't must've been the one that I spotted with. It's really common and not always something bad!

 

[Definitelyme]

@Kitt that must be so scary, it’s every pregnant woman’s worst fear seeing blood when you wipe. But as others have said it can be totally normal, and a few friends of mine have spotted on and off all pregnancy. I’m sure that doesn’t alleviate the worry though. X

@Tui so glad to hear all was ok last night. Always so much better safe than sorry. Hopefully that will be your last visit to them x

 

[Squiggle]

@Kitt I had this early on and when I called they said it could be where I would've been due my period. I went for a private scan just to make sure all was OK. It lasted a few days for me xx

I had this at 6 weeks with all pregnancies and it was implantation bleeding but I'd call the early pregnancy unit to be sure. Especially as you've already had the other scan and stuff!

Finally got a fizzy drink. Life changing.

Also I’m eating buttery crumpets for dinner and I’ve never eaten anything so good in my life.

I like the crumpets kind of crispy with lurpak. Today I had a cheese bagel with butter like the simplest things are so nice like beans on toast! Fizzy drinks also amazing

 

[Tui]

I’ve eaten so much lurpak this pregnancy have it soooo thick
