I would imagine I'll be the first to post here for a little while - I just found out today.

Look forward to hearing for you soon

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Hi cupcakes - I had a scan at 8 weeks for the same reason and I was told that it was very likely to be implantation bleeding that had taken a few weeks to make it out. The scan was absolutely fine. You can push your GP to send you to the Early Pregnancy Unit and they will scan you that day - at least then you will know and it can put your mind at rest.

cupcakes · 04/05/2006 11:09

it's stopped now. am just trying to rest. hopefully will get my scan date through soon. I'm not going to go up to the hospital unless it gets worse. At the end of the day having a scan won't save the baby if I am going to miscarry and it's too much of an upheaval to get to the hospital (we live miles away and I'd have to arrange for friends to pick up ds and dd and I haven't told anyone that I'm pg yet). Sorry if that sounds really gloomy. I'm being positive today so hopefully won't need the reassurance of a scan (just yet).

urgh dreaded morning sickness Again feel bloody awful.

Morningnewspaper · 05/05/2006 09:03

You poor thing - it must be one of the worst feelings in the world! Have you tried peppermint tea???

lucy5 · 05/05/2006 09:41

well still feeling pretty awful but have now been to the doctors and all my symptoms are side effects of the blood pressure tablets. So hopefully they will ease off. If not I will have to swap medication. have been told that blood pressure this early makes my pregnancy high risk, which is worrying.

Hi everyone, I've been on the Nov due thread for a few weeks now, but had my scan today and my DD has been put back to 1st December.

Not really sure how that works as I have all dates recorded but hey ho! Saw lo's heartbeat and arms and legs all wiggling! Got my date for my 20 weeks scan all sorted too, so that's quite reassuring!

I've read through and see that everyone's typically got the ms / sore boobs / constipation thing - but no-one has mentioned (ALERT - TMI COMING UP) excrutiatingly painful nipples. They feel like someone is burning them with a red hot poker - What is this all about - can anyone help - any remedies??? Beginning to get quite desperate!!

lennied · 05/05/2006 14:09

Just stopping in to say hi, sorry to hear so many have been struck down with MS or otherwise not very well. Hope everything is ok with you cupcakes, I can't really give any advice, being a novice, but resting sounds good advice to me.

Welcome calsworld, sorry but I have no solution for painful nipples - suffering with those myself - when my dog snuggles up to close I look like I've been mortally wounded. The only answer I have found is protect and wear a secret support vest top over my bra and under my top for some extra support and armour!

Everything still good here, although only 6.5 weeks so still plenty of time for MS to strike, although I have to take low dose steroids until the end of week 10 for my arthritis so I think they are probably seeing off any MS for me at the moment since they can be used to treat it. But don't all rush down the docs since they double the risk of a cleft palate - not such good news. Struggling to do up my 'feeling thin' jeans now, and my waist is definately a little bit thicker, although I don't think anyone else would be able to tell. Luckily most of my trousers are hipster type waists so I can escape the horrible pressure on bloated tum! Hope for some good news from everyone soon.

lennied · 05/05/2006 14:11

TOO close, I know, I'm rubbish.

laughalot · 05/05/2006 14:27

Sorry to crash your thread when lucy gets back on could you please tell her laughalot has had a bfp thanks.

lucy5 · 05/05/2006 16:18

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Carameli · 05/05/2006 16:34

jusy wanted to say hi. I am due 18th Dec, so currently 7+5 I think. Very nervous about this pregnancy as I had an early m/c last Sept.
Have a 2.5yr dd who luckily still loves her afternoon nap:)
Been having morning/day sickness for a while/sore nipples and so tired sometimes I could sleep standing.

spinamum · 05/05/2006 17:01

a 2.5 er who sleeps! I'm soooooooooooooo jealous. he sleeps at nursery but they're not 6.5 wks gone. (well they might be but haven't told me yet!)

can't complain though cos except for the exhaustion, sore boobs, fleeting moments of dizziness, inability to get into my fat jeans and terrible temper, i'm not feeling very pg at mo.

my lovely dh is spending his days/evenings doing all the housework and being a star as before. I don't think it'll stretch to stopping alcohol like last pg. the man needs a drink with me, 2.5 and the emerging bean in the house.

cupcakes · 05/05/2006 17:10

welcome carameli - I had a mc in March so I understand how you're feeling. I can't wait for my first scan (and yet am so nervous too as it was at my first scan that I found out I had miscarried).
At least you're feeling sick!

lennied · 05/05/2006 20:38

Spinamum, I hope there was a note of sarcasm with that post - you sound like the most pregnant person in the world with that list of symptoms. Am impressed with the DH training - how do you manage it? Mine is being more loving and caring, but that doesn't extend to household chores!

lennied · 05/05/2006 20:44

btw - thanks spinamum and mummyto1plusbump for the clothes advice. Was having a real panic this week about the holiday.

Also any news from Bloo/Slink??

Debbsy · 05/05/2006 20:50

with you on the household chores spina my dh wont let me do anything,and always asking if i need a drink or some fruit bless him think he is being like this cos of how ill ive been.Oh and i have a bump now and trousers getting a bit tight,heehee 10 weeks on sunday and scan a week on monday

lennied · 07/05/2006 11:55

There is a due January thread!!! Yay, that means we are making progress!

Debbsy, congratulations - you are 3 weeks ahead of me and I am soooo jealous. It must be lovely to have a reminder that all of this is really real. I am looking forward to the scan news already!

I am having a slight crisis this weekend, have hardly spoken to my Mum since found out I am pg, which is very unusual and I think she is starting to suspect something is up. She had a stillbirth a few years ago and spent some time afterwards TTC with no success. It wasn't a planned pg but I think with grown up kids she quite liked the idea of having another baby - but it wasn't to be. I had planned on not telling anyone until 12 weeks, but we have told MIL and FIL and a couple of very close friends who live nearby. Do you think I should tell my Mum now (I will only be 7 weeks next week) or wait until we've had a scan and know everything is ok? I don't think we would tell her if I had a m/c as I don't think she could handle any more gloomy baby news. But I think she would be upset if she knew we had kept it a secret. Hmmmm, just don't know what to do. Appreciate any advice.

Debbsy · 07/05/2006 12:14

lennied what do they say honesty is always the best policy isnt it i think you should tell your mum,as your mum im sure she will be very pleased for you.Oh and the 7 weeks to 10 weeks flies believe me :)

spinamum · 08/05/2006 12:51

lennied, i would tell her.
I'm in a slighly similar situation.I don't want to tell my dad yet because my mum died during my first pg and I don't want to have to tell him if i've had a m/c. I've being thinking about this though and i wouldn't be able to never tell him and I'd rather tell him some good news to start with rather than the only news was bad news.

I'm sure she'll be excited and happy for you. I don't know what her situation is and if she's still ttc or hoping tc. It probably is a big deal for parents to find out their babies are having babies, so she might not even react much at first due to shock. (my mum,dad and ILS were very quiet and Dh isn't telling his parents til 12wks because of their "bad reaction" last time.)

Have a chat and a cuddle with her.Whatever happens, it'll be good for you to not have to stress of trying to avoid the subject.

But that's just my opinion.

Take care.

cupcakes · 08/05/2006 12:58

I think you should tell her.
Having said that I haven't told my mum yet - nor my inlaws. I'm worried enough about miscarrying again without them all being worried too.
I only speak to my mum every couple of weeks though so I don't need to keep up much of a pretence. I did feel guilty when I was talking to her the other day and would find it very hard to do every day.
I think if you tell one set of parents you should really tell the others too.

Olihan · 08/05/2006 13:10

I would talk to her. My mum is very anti me having 3 children so when I found out I was pregnant this time I really didn't want to tell her. I finally told her this w/e and she was really happy for us but v upset I hadn't said anything earlier (with ds and dd we told her the day we found out). I would just sit down and tell her - her reaction will probably surprise you.
