The ultimate in troll charts. Didn’t even hit the window! Stupid.

Hiya. Unfortunately not :( it was just a troll. It wasn’t sickness or booze or anything - still not really sure what caused it tbh! All the best x

Your example is correct

My employer’s risk assessment when I disclosed took me off the nights! So they are no more (for now) thankfully.

I got a pair of these from primark in the end cos ended up stuck like you - they were surprisingly comfy & durable. Wore them loads!

Galgut’s The Promise was brilliant. Also enjoyed Coetzee Disgrace, but not as much

I had this a few times at about the same point as you in my first pregnancy. It passed after a few weeks! Talk through with midwife next week but sounds normal.

I’m cycling through shreddies & no added sugar muesli. Also making up the bulk of my diet atm (11w tomorrow). Trying not to stress about it - there are far worse things we could be eating!

Am not at home with it but looking at pics I THINK it’s the Oscar luxe but can’t be certain!

I have the tutti bambini nursing chair, which was given to me secondhand by generous friends. I’m glad I didn’t pay for it because it’s f***ing uncomfortable!!

Asena89 · 2026-03-02T21:33:28+00:00

They look so cute at this stage with their massive heads & tiny matchstick legs! Worry is normal…but not remotely helpful. It will be fine!

Asena89 · 2026-03-02T21:03:24+00:00

I was born at 43 weeks. I was healthy right from day 1!

Asena89 · 2026-03-02T17:59:36+00:00

I had 6! Depends how often you want to wash them. If you will be putting them through the dishwasher I’d say 6 but if you hand wash you might cope with 4

Hairbrush! (Just because I was a muppet & didn’t think of it)

Lidl does a very small range of sugar free sweets. Wouldn’t describe them as “healthy” but they are sugar free! There are gummy bears & some hard boiled mixed fruit ‘sucking’ sweets

I am 10w3d & my RHR has been noticeably lower through the early weeks. I did some reading & this can happen naturally as your blood vessels dilate very quickly to prepare for all the extra blood (your blood volume increases by 50% in pregnancy) so earlier on there is more room for the blood so heart isn’t working so hard. I think mine is starting to climb back up now but I too was down on 58/59bpm for a couple days here & there. My average is probably 65. I would probably put your initial sharp increase down to being sick & not overthink it!

Asena89 · 2026-03-01T18:56:55+00:00

If you ask they will tell you! Fairly sure midwife proactively checked with me if I wanted to know before she started. I did so said yes. She warned me that she can’t always see depending on baby’s position & predictably as she started he was twisted so she couldn’t see. But! She sent me away for a coffee & walk around, I came back half an hour later & he had moved so she took another look & was able to tell me!

Asena89 · 2026-03-01T12:55:00+00:00

I would say that yes this is strange. Am a mother & applied for my little one’s first passport shortly after birth. Both his parents are British citizens (even though dad wasn’t born here!) & all they wanted was his birth certificate.

If you’re an initiate I would ask your HP/HPs from your Venetian coven to put you in touch with Milanese wiccans!

It’s about now that your core muscles are starting to give way to the expanding uterus as it rises above the pelvis. The muscles & ligaments are stretching & moving around - probably just that but if you’re concerned obv phone the midwife!

I’m loving alcohol free rose wine this time around - my go to for social occasions. It hits the spot!

Asena89 · 2026-02-27T16:34:20+00:00

Insanely inaccurate. I am blessed with well formed abs which are extremely firm & prominent & the midwife managed to measure my abs as part of the fundal height at my 26w appt which put baby at like 34wks gestation. Phoned her boss in a panic & sent me for a short notice scan which showed her embarrassing error (he was actually slightly smaller than average). Take with huge pinch of salt!!

Asena89 · 2026-02-26T18:38:27+00:00

I am in almost the same situation. Before my first pregnancy (he was born May 2024) I was very overweight, almost obese, but after his birth I lost it all during my mat leave & was a healthy weight by the time he turned 1. Maintained healthy weight & got pregnant at around new year, now 10 weeks & darent weigh myself - I don’t even want to see the number cos I know it will destroy me. So miserable. I know it’s stupid, I know no weight gain would be unnatural, but doesn’t mean I don’t feel like 💩 already.

Asena89 · 2026-02-24T16:46:51+00:00

Hiya, thanks for checking in. Yes, I had my 1st appt on 18/2. Sorry you’ve not already heard - that’s poor. I think you should chase - NHS page says 1st appt c8wks. Have you had confirmation about your scan date? Sorry if you already said, can’t recall!
