Off Food and General Update/chat
Hey - sorry I've not been around for a while, just trying to adjust to life and trying not to stress and worry before my 12 week scan 2 weeks today. Even though we had a scan at 8 weeks I am still worrying my head off!
Any way - onto my point... I am completely off food, I get hungry and feel the need to eat something but eat little before I am full and really don't enjoy it. Anyone else got this? Not really a major problem, just finding it a little odd!
Is anyone else finding it comfoting to see the DI September and now DI October forums go up? It makes me feel like I am into this journey and not just setting out - weird I know!
How is everyone doing?

Yes, I have that too. It is definitely improving, my sickness is easing off and I an eat veg again, although not green ones just yet! Weird! I get very hungry and then eat a small amount and full, also don't enjoy it. Although last week I had a couple of days of eating like a horse.
Have my scan tomorrow, eek. Am also worrying my head off!
Tash you've gone off green veg and I have started hating the taste of cucumbers. I can't wait to stop those bloomin folic acid pills, maybe then the constipation will go. Good luck with your scan tmoro xj
I am hoping to start SW again too, but need to feel hundred percent first. X
Dont worry you'll soon be eating everything in sight! lol
Dont worry about the brie... I had pate before I knew I was pregnant and all is fine so dont worry! My MW said the main concern is getting food posioning so if you have been fine afterwards I believe all will be fine so stop worrying an enjoy it! easier said then done I know!!! lol

I think the food advice is something they have to do in our litigation culture to cover their backs. The only reason for not eating soft cheeses, eggs, pate etc is the risk of food poisoning from listeria and salmonella etc. Except liver pate- too much vit A, I think. I accidentally ate camembert at New Yr, it was breadcrumbed and I thought it was philadelphia, but no harm done!
My recent ailment (I'm usually very healthy, so struggling with this situation) is erythema nodosum. I had a bad cold just over a week ago and its apparently a skin inflammation sparked off by a reaction to the virus. Painful red, hot lumps all over my legs. I think its what is making me feel particularly crappy at the mo too.
I'm just hoping this bit eases and I get to enjoy the pregnancy that we've waited so long for and went through so much to achieve
I am home from work at the moment, just wretching my head off this morning. So far my sickness has just been a queasiness but not today! I was drying my hair when the hot sweat crept up on me. Hoping it passes so I can head into the office as apart for that I feel ok.
Potatoes and toast are my staples too, I managed cottage pie yesterday - maybe that is why I am heaving!
I also can't wait to start 'enjoying' this pregnancy - so far it's been pretty miserable!

Been sent home from work and the Dr is putting me on penicillin in case I have streptococcus & they are re-doing my bloods next week. They've also sent it away to check for zoonotic diseases because of my job. I really hope I havn't put my baby at risk because of my job.
I hope your blood work comes back ok - I am sure they are just being cautious with you because of your job. Let me know how you get on.
