Does anyone else have an insane sense of smell

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and have nausea and a heavy feeling in my stomach for the past 2 weeks but today I can randomly smell Chinese food. It's literally not even 10 am in the morning and I'm sat working at my desk (at home) and the smell is overwhelming. There is no bloody Chinese food in the house. I'm so confused.

Yes. 100% my smell is crazy working overtime 😂 I’m 7 weeks and it’s just getting more and more intense. Think it’s very normal 🤗 xx

Yeah!! That's how I knew I was pregnant again. I used lavender washing powder for my children's bedding and whenever I've been pregnant it's made me gag 😥🤣

I could smell red onion in my bedroom as if it was in front of me, I was only 3-4 weeks then.

It only gets stronger 😅 xx

Not so far this time, but the first time was crazy! We went to a cinema that I thought stank of used cat litter, and I could have sworn someone beefing us was smoking, but my husband has an insane sense of smell and he said he didn’t notice!

Hospital

I got sent the hospital yesterday as baby girl isnt measuring how they would like and they said that it doesn’t look like I have enough fluid, is there anything i can do that can help with fluid or is there anything I can do to change these things??

Hospital room set up

For those of you giving birth on the labour ward, do you have plans to bring your own things from home like battery candles, fairy lights, a diffuser?

How do everyone feel in between scans and checks?

I’m 18+6 weeks atm, and have the 20 weeks scan coming up in couple of weeks but I have anterior placenta and can’t feel anything at the moment! How do I know if the baby is okay? And what do everyone do to reassure themselves everything is okay? I’m also worried about the upcoming scan, as it’s a big scan and have worries like what if the baby has this or that. What should I do?

Insomnia

For the last few weeks my sleep has been completely messed up, I had a week of night shifts (I rotate days and nights absolutely fine normally) and since then I'm just not sleeping at night! I'll go to bed exhausted, sleep for maybe an hour then wake up wide awake. Doesn't matter if I don't touch my phone, I'll be laying there until 6 or 7am then I'll eventually sleep for a few more hours. I'm on AL from work for a couple weeks so was hoping to fix my sleep pattern but so far I've had no luck whatsoever! I've already cut out caffeine and sweets etc, just have a hot malt drink before bed, and my usual sleep podcasts have stopped working too. Any ideas would be great

Nausea has come back 😢

Hey girls I’m 14 nearly 15 weeks now and that first trimester was awful with the sickness etc , however for the last I’d say 4-5 days I’ve been feeling okay no sickness and sort of got my energy back .. every one said this should happen around now so I was so happy. But today omg it is the worst I think I’ve felt the whole time?! I feel like I’m going to throw up every minute. Ahhh 😢😢
