Pregnant with baby no1 and trying not to gain too much!

Oh I know ! I said that to my bf I couldn't believe how much they move considering you can't feel a thing but then I guessed he's so small at the moment .. We keep referring to baby as 'he' although we have no idea what the gender is but for some reason after seeing the scan we just got a feeling it's a boy .. We could be wrong though! X

 

[Dubchick81]

I've been calling baby he for ages... Up until maybe the weekend I was CONVINCED mine is a boy.. Now I think its a girl.. Duno what changed my mind but its changed... lol

Pregnant with baby no1 and trying not to gain too much!

So today I've been a bit naughty food wise .. I've been so hungry I've just ended up eating rubbish all day so not good but hey tomorrow's a new day .
I'm starting to feel a bit bigger round the middle but then I don't know whether I'm just imaging it now that I've had the scan and know I am beyond the 12 week point lol .
Another thing I've noticed over the last couple of weeks is these pains that I've been getting that start at the bottom of my back and go into my bum and down my leg it only ever happens on my right side and usually when I move after being sat down or lying down . If anyone wants to she's any light on this that would be great !
No morning sickness but the tiredness has decided to reappear the last couple of days my sister even decided to let me know (kindly) how tired I looked the other day - lovely !
The only other news I have is that my brothers gf is due in 8 days and there is a possibly she may have to go in early as in the next few days as there is some sort of problem with her waters - so I could have a little nephew arriving very soon eeeek! X

Oh I get that pain you described in your back bum and leg and funnily enough mine is the right side too. I went to the osteopath who said my hips were misaligned.... he re aligned me and it made it easier but didn't take it away completely. I find if I can sleep with pillows between my knees its no where near as bad as if I don't sleep with a pillow. I assume it's just the changes going on inside my pelvis. But try the pillow when sleeping and see if it helps.

Ooh how exciting to have a new nephew due any day

Hello .. Well no pains last night but I woke up at 5 this morning after having the most horrendous dream ever I can't even talk about it it was so upsetting
I never have horrible dreams normally just funny ones so this was really out of character for me .. I literally woke up with tears in my eyes . Luckily bf was there to give me a cuddle but men don't really understand do they lol?!
So today other than feeling really tired I'm feeling ok . I finally told my employer last night which has been a massive weight off my shoulders she took the news really well and couldn't have been any nicer .. Phew ! X

 

[MrsLmc]

Aww glad you told your boss and can relax now.
Don't worry too much about the dreams. They are common in pregnancy. I've had some horrific ones. xx

Eeek one more day til I hit 13weeks wahoo
How am I feeling today. ..?
Definitely tired.. I'm struggling to keep my eyes open but that's been the same pretty much throughout the whole of the last 12 weeks I'm hoping it will subside soon because bf just doesn't seem to get it at all and its making me feel guilty and then he keeps asking me what's wrong all the time but when I say nothing I'm just really tired I get a sarcastic response like 'oh what a surprise'.
I actually feel a bit down today I don't really know why I mean don't get me wrong I'm super excited about baby but I think I have a few things that are on my mind that are getting to me . My house is a mess I'm working so many hours that I don't get any time to get any of my own jobs or errands done . I spend most of my weekends / free time running around after other people or babysitting for my nieces . .also I'm really struggling to eat healthily and I can see a noticeable weight gain around my tummy .. My clothes are feeling tight and uncomfortable my boobs have ballooned and my skin is horrendously spotty so all things considered I'm really not feeling very attractive at all .
Sorry rant over !
I think I'm just hormonal. I'm sure the weekend I will feel better.
How is everyone else doing today?

Yay to nearly 13 weeks. Nearly in the second trimester. And trust me, it goes fast from there!!
You sound like you need a bit of 'me' time. Do you have to do things for everyone else, could you maybe ask them for a bit of time off so you can chill out or get your own jobs done? I really stress out if I can't get to clean the house for a couple of days, it really bugs me. Xx

My BF was the same.. I was staying up as late as I possible could but getting to maybe 10:30 on weekends and I'd feel AWFUL saying I have to go to bed... He's kinda just got used to it now I think coz he actually sends me to bed most nights.. Or if I'm up past 9:30 he's like "are you being a rebel staying up this late? what's going on" ha ha ha
I do try to stay up later on weekends but don't last very long.. Doesn't help I wake up on weekends as early as I do for work so means I'm as tired too...
Sadly though tiredness doesn't seem to leave in the second trimester... Hasn't for me anyway!! But times does speed up

Sarah I can but I'm too much of a people pleaser lol!
Luckily I do have the day off tomorrow so I am going to try and get on top of all the washing and housework done but I also have the virgin media guy coming which is a bit of a pain as we live In a small flat so I can't really clean around him .
Im also taking care of my niece at 3 O clock as my brothers gf ( heavily pregnant) has a hospital appointment so I don't like to say no to babysitting for them as she's just about ready to pop!
To be honest I can't wait til we move house next year I think what I need is space oh and a bath lol! Our flat has done us well for the year we've lived here but my god I can't wait to live in a nice house where everything is new and everything works and where I'm closer to home .I'm a half an hour drive from my mum and sister ATM which seems nothing but Its not as easy just to pop in and catch up as it used to be so I'm looking forward to the move in January.
Frances I can understand where they are coming from it can't be fun loving with a zombie for 9 months but a tiny bit of sympathy and help in the house wouldn't go a miss . X

Exactly!!! My BF comes to me and asks "what's for dinner?" If I've not started it when he's obviously hungry... Like HELLO... I've been at work all day too... You tell me for a change what's for F-ing dinner!!! God forbid he should put dishes in the dishwasher or tidy the condiments away.. Or make the bed or hoover the stairs or put on a wash!!!!! (and breathe)
Like, yes he's tired from working.. But SO AM I!! We BOTH work full time and yes his job is more physical than mine.. But that doesn't mean I can't hve a busy stressful day which knackers me out...

 

[Sammielouise071]

That's his excuse ..because his job is manual labour and lots of heavy lifting and mine is just watching children then that should excuse him from all aspects of housework .. Wtf?! Drives me mad .. I don't expect much just a bit of washing up would be nice ! He had the whole day off Monday after the scan I went back to work and didn't get in til nearly 7.. I got back and he hadn't moved from the same spot all day playing Xbox on the sofa .. The house was a complete tip ! Grr men !

Don't even get me started on my "boy" at home. lol

I'll be here all day.

I threw a bit of a tantrum last night because I had asked him to do 1 tiny little thing and he couldn't even do that. Ended up with me sitting on our spare room carpet, crying, lol and him looking totally shocked and sheepish. He apologised straight away for not doing what I had asked, but boy do my hormones like to come out and play?! lol xx

Eh... I'd almost prefer the manual labour job than running round after kids all day.. At least he has some sort of structure to his job... You're can throw anything at ya from stroppy angry contankurous kids to weeping snotty nose poorly kids... I'd take the manual labour!! LOL
Yea, like, I enjoy cooking most of the time so all I ask him to do is put the dishes in the dishwasher, the sauces n salt n pepper in the press n make a cup of tea in the evening... I don't think it too much to ask??
Then a hand at the weekend with the "big clean" for him only means putting HIS shoes/runners/work boots upstairs out of the way so I can sweep mop n hoover the floors.. Everything else I'm happy to do.. Washing included...
God forbid we should ask them to do half the cleanup seen as, dunno about your BF, but he makes 90% of the mess!!!

 

[Sammielouise071]

I'm keep telling him this but he doesn't get it lol
Ohh yes he definitely makes 90% of the mess ! If he could just shift an inch to the left his clothes would go in the washing basket rather than thrown on the bathroom floor left to smell!
I'm at my wits end with it !
It's going to be worse with a baby too twice the mess .. The only good thing then is that ill be off work so atleast il have time to do it all myself . X

OMG... Are you sure you're not talking about Jonathan????? WHAT IS WITH THAT???
His clothes are all over the bedroom floor.. I've tried the whole laeve them there he'll soon cop on but it doesn't work.. They'd be there a month later if I didnt' pick them up!
There has been a pair of sweaty socks on our landing for 2 weeks tomoro that I've purposely not picked up.. They are doing my head in now but I refuse to pick them up.. But so does he!!
When he does something useful I have to bite my tongue at the mess he makes while doing it... Coz if I start to give out, he'll drop what he's doing and leave the mess for me too!!! Sometimes I can laugh it off and I don't mind.. But sometimes, especially now, I'm so tired after just working.. That having to come home, clean up after the mess he's made doing his lunch, then cook, then clean up after that too.. Its just too much.. I NEED help.. Its not all my mess but its all me cleaning.. He needs to pull his finger out!
Saying that... He does be busy most evenings getting stuff done in the house.. But i'm not left sitting there watching TV.. No.. I've to help him out (as much as I can now)
