Pregnancy #3

[HoneyBee29]

Has anyone read the positive birth company hypnobirthing book? Im currently reading it and finding it incredibly insightful, written from a female perspective (as opposed to mr medical dr etc) and calming. Highly recommend im written some positive affirmations from it that im going to stick around my bedroom on post its

I’ve read the book and doing the course as well atm feel a lot more positive about birth and feel excited too!

Oh god I’m really worrying about the full bladder part too, whenever I’m nervous I need a wee so I’m hoping they run on time otherwise I know I’ll be sitting there stressing about needing to go

That sounds so lovely, especially for your partner.

Hope everything goes well in your 12 week scan! Will your partner be allowed to the 20 week one? I know every hospital is different, mine is allowing partners at both but that only changed very recently.

You don’t need to have a full bladder just make sure your drinking water constantly. I had to go to the bathroom as soon as we got to the hospital before my 12 week scan as I was busting and couldn’t hold it much longer, also don’t recommend doing that ended up with a urine infection. Was worried they wouldn’t be able to see anything cause I’d just been to the bathroom but they where still able to find her and my scan pics where really clear

Oh good thats reassuring thanks! I’m the worst for it anyway let alone now I’m pregnant

Yesterday I was really quite nauseous from moment I got up till about 12pm. Today it was noticeably less.

is that normal?

sorry I’m going to be one of those people

I’ve been the same! Had a few days feeling really sick last week, then nothing at all for a few days, then woke up this morning feeling sick and headachy which has lasted til a couple of hours ago. I’m guessing it’ll be like this for the first trimester.

Thank you for your response. I appreciate the reassurance

Thank you for your response. I appreciate the reassurance

I’m a worrier too - I worry when I feel sick and then worry if I don’t

@Chickenandgravy congratulations on your little girl!!

@Lulu Goss I have never once had a full bladder or even close to it at a 12 week scan, and I’ve never been asked to, and never had an issue.

@Babyyoda88 totally normal for symptoms to come and go. The sickness my have settled with something you ate/drank or could just be the pattern you may have, or maybe just today’s pattern. Definitely not something to worry yourself about.

I was sick today whilst eating my breakfast so there’s a new one.

Took the day off work today. Don’t think my husband is happy about it but I was awake for hours in the night feeling sick and with a bad stomach and I feel rough.

We also have to have the front door open at all times and man the front desk for over 2 hour slots and I don’t think it’s fair to sit by an open door when the high today is 1 degree. I’m not putting myself through that when I already feel crap.

I wouldn’t want to sit next to an open door in this weather normally, let alone pregnant and feeling rough! Definitely sounds like you need to take today to relax on the sofa.

I’m having my 20 week scan today! Super nervous but also excited!

Exciting! Are you finding out the sex?

[Upintheair83]

Thank you!

Are you finding out the sex too?

Yes I am hun! After this awful year we need a bit of a pick me up and so we are finding out!!
Eeeekkk! Iv got a feeling il be crying a lot of happy tears today! I think it will feel more real. Not that it doesn't now- but you know what I mean.
I’m also anxious too in case they pick up on anything else. Were you nervous? Xxxx

Aw brilliant! Mine was a private scan (I'm only 16 weeks) but I was super nervous, think that's totally normal though. I know I'll definitely be the same for my 20 week scan, after it you wonder what all the fuss is about because you know deep down its fine!

Do you have a feeling what you're having?

I’m glad it’s not just me then! I’m such a worrier you see.
I’m not really sure if I’m honest, did you have any idea? Baby’s heartbeat was 150bpm so I read that if you go by that it’s usually a girl but then Iv read how that’s not always the case!! So I really don’t have a clue!!!! Xx

Definitely not just you! I hope it goes well (I'm certain it will) let us know how you get on, excited for you!
I only thought it was a girl as someone on this thread looked at my 12 week scan and did the skull theory and said girl and I had also sent my scan off to the nub whisperer and the nub techs (were about £10 each) and they both said girl. I know they have a 50/50 chance of getting it right but was just a bit of fun that turned out correct anyway. I've heard that about the heartbeat too, but I was never told how many bpm her heart was going so could be true I suppose xx

Oh really? Id heard about the nub theory but not the skull! That’s interesting!!
I really don’t have any idea what it will be but as flu say it’s just abit of fun guessing! I will make sure I come back and let you all know! Xxxx

I sold not sit by an open door have you also had snow where you are it’s Baltic here (Midlands) I also woke up feeling ill again I haven’t had a day off yet but if the sickness continues I might have to because going on zoom looking very pasty is not great. I hope you have a nice cosy day x
