Pregnancy #41

[Neo2021]

Sometimes if I feel that sick and don’t want to get up to go to the bathroom I’ll just be sick on the floor that’s the bad days

I know that feeling well!

Tomorrow is the due date for the baby I miscarried at 9 weeks. All week I've been an emotional mess and really found my mental health struggling. While I'm so so so unbelievably grateful to be pregnant again and I understand implicitly how lucky I am, I couldn't stop thinking about 'what could have been' or how I felt like my body let my first baby down. I eventually opened up to my husband and my Dad and they both have stepped in immediately and have taken practical steps in ways to alleviate stress and pressure on me.
( Basically long story short, I completely underestimated how opening up to certain people can help, it's important to reach out even when you feel like you can't/shouldn't)

Tomorrow I've asked my husband to go for a walk in the woods with me because being outdoors and active just calms me. After the walk we are planning to go and buy the first few bits for this baby, I was putting it off out of fear and anxiety but I think it might be a nice way to put a slightly better twist on tomorrow and at almost 27 weeks I should probably at least buy a babygro to start with because there's so much to buy.


Sorry for the length of this ladies, I think it's me ranting trying to process how I feel.

Sorry I've tried twice to put a spoiler on this, if anyone finds this triggering I'll delete it straight away!

Oh love sending you a big hug. It's a huge loss and it stays with you always. I lost our pregnancy this time last year and I found the due date very hard too. I'm so excited about this little baby but struggled to feel connected to it for months 'just in case'. Hope you have a lovely day in the woods tomorrow

I threw up down myself while I was on the toilet the other week if it makes anyone feel any better. I also remember crying at a tik tok of how much someone loved their cat in my first trimester, and an episode of Star Trek, I was in bits for hours.

Also I can't remember who it was but someone on this thread shared that they wee'd themselves a bit when throwing up and it happened to me the day after I read it and I was so grateful to them for sharing and to know it wasn't just me!

I weed myself while throwing up at work a few weeks ago I was absolutely mortified. Felt violated by my own body . Also sobbed uncontrollably at a dog on tiktok whining at the lion king.

Also... Morning sickness has finally left me (15 weeks today) and omg the hunger the last few days. It comes from nowhere, like I'll go from fine to absolutely ravenous my stomach is so empty. I fill up quicker than I did pre pregnancy so I'm not eating as big portions but definitely needing to eat more often. I'm assuming this is normal??

Yep that was me!! projectile vomiting now too, it’s such a great experience I honestly can’t wait until my girls here because this sickness is draining me!! Didn’t think I’d still be spewing weekly at 39+3

For everyone being sick I really found nappy sacks handy! I could never make it to the toilet and they’re easy to hold and then they just tie up and it masks the smell!

To add to the sick stories, I projectile vomited Ribena which a) looked like a bloodbath and b) got on the walls. I did not realise it went all over the walls until about a week later as it’s a similar colour, and literally went everywhere behind me, to the sides, behind the toilet??? It was like someone had murdered a load of blackberries.

As someone very newly pregnant this thread has been... enlightening

Sorry but this made me laugh!! Mine was exactly the same last week but orange, I thought it was a good idea to eat a whole pizza all over the toilet and behind it and on the bath sounded really attractive cleaning that up hahaha

Well thanks to the clock change, I've seen 1am twice tonight I woke up initially about an hour ago thinking I'd slept for hours...nope, only about 2hrs! And now I've just woken up again and I'm wide awake this time. I think its going to be one of those nights

 

[Chrisxo]

Anyone else seriously struggling to sleep as their due date gets closer. I just can’t switch off

Yes! Same. Very hard to think about anything else. I now have a nap every day where I was usually getting away with it. Gives me anxiety going to bed knowing il be up half the night but I guess it’s setting us up for the very near future!

My last pregnancy I was sooo craving a kfc! Half way there I puked all over the dog, myself, down the car doors. The dog just sat there like wtf! Incredibly I still fancied the kfc and cried all the way round the drive thru and at the collection window…. With a dog covered in puke!

I started induction the day before the clocks changed. Started getting back contractions at about 12, couldn’t sleep through them. I was devastated when I saw the clock change as I was on my own on the antenatal ward. Got worse at about 4am when another couple came in and they started watching match of the day on their phone

From my suggestion on the last thread..

Pregnancy #42 Whatever you do, don't Google!

Not a suggestion but I’m in the next group for how far along I am

Pregnancy #42 the only place where vomiting down yourself isn’t frowned upon

Mine hasn’t been anywhere near like this if it makes you feel any better

Amniotic fluid question….

Obviously I’ve had a complicated pregnancy and baby Neo is expected any time.

What do your waters leaking feel/smell like? (Soz for the TMI)

They smell quite sweet.
Do you think you could be leaking? Pop a pad on lay down for a while when you stand up if any comes out give it a smell, there definitely will be a sweetness to it, it's hard to describe but it's totally different to urine.

When mine leaked with the 9yo I constantly felt like I was wetting my pants, it felt more than the usual discharge and feeling you get down there if it makes sense?
