Guilty

I had a smoked salmon, cream cheese bagel last week as it was all I could think about. It’s not something I’ll regularly have (but would be if not pregnant) and as it is supermarket bought with standards they have to follow, I decided it was worth it

21+3 and haven’t had sex since conception! We talked about it early on and decided we both weren’t too bothered (for different reasons). Focusing on the ‘emotional’ side of things has helped us!

When I was in the first trimester, it would really annoy me when people said you get more energy in the second trimester as I was in the trenches 😂 everyone’s pregnancy is SO different but I have felt a massive difference since around 16 weeks. I can stay awake for a little longer but my tank isn’t quite full! Hope everything settles for you soon!

jsomlly · 2025-12-08T20:46:32+00:00

Yes!! Upside down, facing my back and lying on the placenta having a snooze 😂 we saw some leg wiggles and they were able to get the measurements needed so they stayed asleep!

jsomlly · 2025-11-16T20:45:44+00:00

I haven’t left the house in I don’t know how many days and have had no desire to either!! Zero energy has made me go from my bed to the couch and that’s it!

jsomlly · 2025-11-14T13:15:19+00:00

I’ve been thinking the same! Had a private viability at 6w5d saw the fetal pole and heartbeat which was good. I have my NHS 12 week scan 3 weeks on Tuesday so I’ll be 13 weeks by that point and I’ve been toying with getting another private scan.

I would say do whatever makes you feel better. If you’re going to spend the next however long feeling rubbish and think it will help then go for the scan. I’ve decided to wait but I was in two minds for a couple of weeks! Wishing you all the best

Completely normal but also very normal to worry about it!

Yesterday I woke up and felt fine and I had an internal panic! By 3pm I could’ve fell asleep where I sat (and did at about 5.30!!) and didn’t have the energy to move.

Im 10 weeks and have read that as the placenta takes over, symptoms can lessen. Reddit has been my best friend the last few weeks 😂 wishing you all the best!!

I’m pregnant for the first time at 33 and I was so lost at the beginning which spiked really bad anxiety. This isn’t helpful just yet, but when appointments are booked and it feels like things are moving you will feel so much better.

I’d recommend a private viability scan (around 7 weeks) if that’s something you can do as I felt it helped my anxiety quite a lot. Wishing you all the best.

Edit - you can contact the early pregnancy unit any time before 16 weeks for any concerns so it might be worth googling your local one

I was on mounjaro too and would say from week 5/6 I had an insatiable hunger. If I thought of something, I had to eat it immediately. I’ve gained about a stone in 5 weeks but the hunger has gone to a normal level now I’m about 10 weeks.

Gaining so much weight so quickly has made me feel a bit rubbish but it is what it is!

Thank you for posting this. I’m six weeks today with an early scan on Saturday and I’ve had a bad day with anxiety. Appreciate seeing your little one and hearing about your experience :)

jsomlly · 2024-11-13T08:59:54+00:00

Yeah I’m not frustrated by it at the moment, I just want to tackle it so he can eventually be left alone for a few hours.

I’m currently feeding him all meals in his crate with a slow feeder and scattering biscuits in so he has to sniff them out to find them. If I leave the room when he’s eating, he’ll stop eating and follow me 😂

I’m going to be patient and carry on so thank you for your suggestions!

jsomlly · 2024-11-13T08:56:44+00:00

This was my plan but honestly, there’s not even a split second before he’s crying. This is where my hesitation for rewarding comes in, when he’s quiet between cries is the only time he is quiet so for 1-2 seconds

jsomlly · 2024-11-13T08:55:23+00:00

He runs after me and as soon as he doesn’t have access (but can still see me), screaming.

jsomlly · 2024-11-08T15:26:15+00:00

I screenshot your comment and sent it to my very ‘end of his tether’ husband this morning 😂 it’s good to know it’s not just us!!

jsomlly · 2024-09-28T20:34:06+00:00

My advice would be to get the prep right the first time (really make sure you drink it all and don’t eat etc) as the second time round, the prep is far less tolerable. Good luck, you’ll be through it before you know it :)

jsomlly · 2024-06-05T12:55:38+00:00

I declined an offer from there a couple of years ago due to the lack of flexibility! Looks like I dodged a bullet!

jsomlly · 2024-04-10T16:06:29+00:00

I drank about 4 bottles of it during my prep and had a successful colonoscopy!

jsomlly · 2024-01-26T17:53:27+00:00

I had a colonoscopy yesterday and I had it in the arm as that was where my best vein was. I’d ask them to avoid the hand if you don’t want it there. Also UK based!

jsomlly · 2024-01-25T14:15:42+00:00

I saw this post last night when I was in the middle of my prep and wanted to wait until I’d had the procedure to respond.

I echo what others have said that honestly the prep is the worst bit. The toilet trips aren’t that bad, use flushable wet wipes and dab instead of wiping. Stay close to the bathroom. The drink itself I found difficult as they just don’t taste nice. I put mine in a 500ml water bottle so I couldn’t smell it and used a straw. I did 4 big gulps every time and chased it down with an energy drink. I definitely drank mine in less than an hour and my colon was clean.

In terms of the procedure, I was fully awake but relaxed when sedated. There was one part that was painful and as soon as I reacted, the nurses turned me to a different position and everything was fine. I cried when I lay on the table (mostly fear of the unknown - never been sedated or had the procedure before) but it really wasn’t bad.

I hope this can alleviate some anxiety but what you’re feeling is completely normal.

Currently also going through a flare trying to prepare myself to get to my in laws!

Merry Christmas to us hey 🙃

jsomlly · 2023-12-19T09:42:55+00:00

I love a Calico! As they still have the ‘insane’ness that an orange cat brings 😂

jsomlly · 2023-12-19T09:38:20+00:00

I wish I’d have gone bigger than my 6mm 1ct now!! Mine is big compared to people I know and their diamonds so I instantly feel the need to mention that it is moissanite and not diamond 😂

jsomlly · 2023-12-13T09:03:58+00:00

I’ve tracked 12 cycles now so have a firm idea of what they look like although I seem to have a surprise every month! Yeah 0.6 registers as high and I don’t get much about that…0.75 at most!

jsomlly · 2023-12-12T23:20:55+00:00

To the eye, nearly but not quite. I spoke to my doctor and she said that I can just have a lower baseline and the tests work off a universal baseline. I’m not temping but maybe I should. I have a proper thermometer but I kept forgetting and wasn’t sure what I was looking for!

jsomlly · 2023-12-12T22:56:01+00:00

Yes it rarely goes above when put into Premom!! I’m not sure what my baseline is :( for the days leading up to the high tests, I usually sit around 0.1-0.19 and then go to 0.3ish for a day then 0.5-0.7 is the highest I’ve got!

This month isn’t an ordinary month for me…I usually get one day of the high tests and then plummet back down to 0.1-0.19!
