Pregnancy #2

[Chickenandgravy]

Had a sore head now for 4 days, nothing is shifting it please tell me this isn't going to last the whole time

I was prone to migraines before I got pregnant but had them really well controlled and now this I'm literally taking the max dose of paracetamol and surely that cannot be a good thing!

Don't think I've stopped crying all morning needed a wee vent I'm sorry

Aw have you had your blood pressure checked?
I had headaches for about 2 weeks straight and then they went.
At around 12 weeks

I've not had it checked since my booking appointment which was before Christmas, I'll phone my midwife and see what they are saying.

It's so debilitating I hate it

I have a headache too and I have started to feel a but nauseous not like I will be sick but that is the feeling like I could be sick and I only want to eat sweets no food interests me salt and vinegar crisps and boiled sweets is all I can stomach. I hope your headache goes soon as a migraine sufferer I really know how bad they can be the only thing that would cure mine is a bottle of water codine and sleep xx

Had our private scan this morning and saw our little baby/blob and it’s heartbeat! Measuring 8 weeks 6 days which is pretty much spot on. Still a way to go but it feels a bit more real now!

That is wonderful what did it look like? Did the heartbeat like flicker up abs down so happy for you it is magical seeing something on the screen isn’t it xxx

Yeah I totally get that too my partner tried to make me an egg mayo wrap and I think the look I must've given him was enough to scare him off

That’s how my sickness started. It happened so early for me though, before I was even 3 weeks pregnant. The thought of certain foods would turn my stomach. I still have that for sure but now joined by the nausea and vomiting.

I think I am just pretending I am ok but I am
Really struggling to eat other than awful sweets and crisps. Maybe this is the start of the sickness for me although I haven’t felt like eating for about a week. I am sorry you keep being sick I can’t imagine that is nice at all! My partner bought me the alcohol free gin and some tonic water which was thoughtful of him basically tastes like herbs

I lived on sweets and crisps for the first 16 weeks. You just eat what you can, when you can x

Yeah it was crazy! Literally just a tiny little bean shape on the screen, can’t quite believe it’s in there. Massive relief to see it - I had all these irrational fears that there would be nothing in there and I’d imagined the whole thing Sorry you’re feeling rubbish was it the seedlip stuff you’ve got? It’s quite nice with tonic but not so much without!

Keep getting all these ads for them on insta! Guess they’re more for later pregnancy when you can’t lie on your front or back. I’m quite tempted - not sure my husband will be so keen on having one take up the entire bed

Yeah I just did some Googling and people definitely recommend them. I’m guessing I’m going to get pretty big so I might benefit from one.

Congrats on your scan today btw xxxxx

I have no idea what the point of them is, I’ve never used one in 4 pregnancies and never felt I’m missing out.

Try 4head strips and the roll on. I had horrendous headaches at the start of my pregnancy

This is the first pregnancy I had one. I’m still using it now

They are the best things ever, I don’t think I can sleep without mine

How do they sit?
If that makes sense?
How do you sleep with it? Does it just go next to you?

Not sure if it was a silly question haha
I'm thinking I could do with one.
I always bunch my duvet up at the side of me and between my legs to make it more comfy
