June 2013 tentative start of thread

Hi, anyone else out there who may be at the very earliest point of pg? I haven't taken a test yet but feeling nauseous and tired and thinking this is it

I know what you mean JeffActually (although I've never had a MC) - I'm not quite 6 weeks, feeling pretty good (but very tired) and am a bit worried.... I may regret saying that when I begin puking on Saturday morning

It is the strangest thing how we are all desperate to throw up and then when it happens...not so much!

I wasn't ever actually sick last time but felt queasy from midday to bedtime for 12 weeks still managed to put on three stone during pregnancy though - I have the same level of queasiness now so I guess that's good.

Well up until yesterday I had no symptoms whatsoever. I'd like to say that I am completely over the whole MS thing now. Started last night, have felt icky all day today, couldn't eat breakfast, managed cheese on toast for lunch,felt sick all afternoon, had eggy bread for tea and felt OK for a bit. Now feel sick again. Can't look a cup of coffee in the face (even decaf), which is a bit of a bugger as it'll be a sure sign for anyone who knows me that I am up the duff.

The really annoying thing is that this is a completely new thing for me, have never had MS before even when expecting triplets! GAH.

I had it pretty bad with DS until about 16-18 weeks - nausea and vomiting on the Tube and everything I can't remember exactly when it started but I know it was after 5 weeks as I remember saying to my best friend "but I feel completely fine" and she smiled knowingly at me :o

Oh and I completely went off tea - it didn't disgust me, I just didn't get that craving that only tea will satisfy. I'm still ok with tea and I'm afraid to say I've had far too many cups today.

oooh MadameJ, you'll have the same age gap as me- DS is almost 22 months.

Nausea here but not as bad as I remember last time. Wondering whether I'm managing it better (I know being tired makes me worse) or just busier so don't notice as much, which is entirely possible with said 22 month old and being in the busiest school term (another teacher!).

That funny full feeling is bugging me more, definitely water retention or summat going on, I look even more quite rounded :( I'm going to blame DS who was massive and my lack of stomach muscles rather than my current love of cheese, milk and pom bears (how very MN of me). Going to have to be very careful with my work wardrobe until 12 weeks scan though, the joys of gossiping teenagers!

Hope you get some good news james x

Morning, very early morning!!

Have woken up again after a disturbed night of night sweats. My OH even offered to get me a damp flannel! Has anyone else had this? They are worrying me silly, I usually get them just prior to lady week so waking up all sweaty makes me run to the loo to check!

Morning everyone. What's a MMC please? I know a MC is a miscarriage, but not sure on the extra "M".

A missed miscarriage

Oh my, that sounds horrible! Massive hugs for those that have experienced one!

am very tired.... could have really done with DD 1 not being up between 11.30 / 1.30 then awake at 5.50 yawn

Though i was sleeping before 10pm.

Personally I am not desperate to be sick.... i had a horrendous HG pregnancy last time and was hospitalised with it.... and was on max dose of sickness tablets right through until the end.... and still vomited every single day.
I am really hoping to be better this time, as otherwise i have no one to look after DD. So far so good, i certainly felt a bit ill this time last pg and so far i feel fine, just tired, and after 3.5 weeks of not BFing (she self weaned, but did it before i conceived this one) I Cant wait to do it again!

Right, so I am on day 2 of a headache that paracetamol isn't touching but I can't have nurofen, DS randomly decided that 2am is getting up time for some unknown reason, I feel a bit queasy but not enough to be actually sick, I've pulled a muscle in my shoulder and I can't take anything to stop that hurting, my boobs feel like they've been punched and all I want to eat is chunks of chorizo dipped in peanut butter, but am not stooping to that just yet. this baby better bloody hang on in there this time round, I'm not going through all this for another sodding MC.

Well hello to the newbies, it's all very exciting, isn't it?

Nannyl - if you do start getting ill, is there any close friends you can confide in? This summer 2 of my good friends were pg with DC2 and I had their toddlers over to play to give them some time off. It's amazing how people will help out when you need them (and cbeebies is your friend in these situations, I'm planning on spending the winter doing lots of improving and educational things with DS so that when I'm at 34 weeks I won't feel quite so guilty sticking on cbeebies and mainly sitting still...)

Lyftiduft- aren't teenagers mainly incredibly self absorbed? wear big jumpers, they will just think you have rubbish grown up style.

dontmindifido oh yes, me too on the headache thing. Day3 here, not sleeping well, feel utterly urgh and argh all the time.

I'm no fun.

Also getting strange 'pulling' sensations low down when I bend over. Anyone?

Morning all, well I am feeling pants today and have being throwing up since about 5am with DD saying "sick, your sick Mummy" every 2 minutes. I didn't have MS last time so this is a bit of a shock. Got Toddler group now which may be interesting especially as people in rl don't know anything yet!!!!

Hi all, room for a late one? Just got my BFP yay! I''m due around 28th June but not too sure on dates yet, as I'm recovering from a July MC so still a bit all over the place with cycle length. I'm trying to celebrate with a huge bowl of sweet porridge, but it's making me feel a bit sick, probably more to do with worry than MS. Never have I been so happy yet so scared .

Hope everyone else is having a good day

Hi Sunday I know how you feel, I also had a MC in July (missed) so this was our first month trying and a bit stunned that we have conceived so soon. Pleased to be pregnant but also very scared to let myself be pleased. The lack of pregnancy symptoms I have so far (6 + 4 today, EDD 11/6/12) isn't helping. However I am having a few twinges and also quite a lot of wind so I'm taking that as a sign that something is happening.

Had my scan this morning - got in and she did the tummy one, pressing really hard so it hurt and then announced to me and DP 'I cant see anything'.

She then made me go for a wee and did the 'dildo cam'. She was really ragging it around and I was wincing a bit and trying not to whinge so asked DP to take DS out of the room as I didnt want him seeing me hurt.

Eventually she found where the baby was and asked how pregnant I thought I was, I said 7+5 and she sucked in air over her teeth and said 'no, baby was faaaar too small to be that far along'.

I asked her how far she thought I was then and she took some measurements and said she'd have to look on her chart to see what gestation that equated to. She then had a quick glance at the heartbeat and then said that was all she was going to do for today.

She then looked for the ovarian cyst I have (consultants appointment in a month and she wanted an up-to-date picture before that). Again she was really yanking the camera around and it really hurt. She said she couldnt find my ovary or the cyst so there was no way of knowing if it'd grown or not (had one on my other ovary last pregnancy and it caused a lot of problems so I was really worried and she knew this) I asked if she could have a look on the abdominal scan and begrudgingly she did, but she pressed really hard and hurt again. Eventually she found it and measured it at no change from the last time (about 3.5cm) so at least thats good news.

She then checked babys measurements on her chart and said she makes it 7+3 (so I was 2 days out! And even then its only estimating at this size since its so small)

She also booked my 12 week scan for the same morning I see my consultant so there really wasn't any need for the scan today since I'll have another right before I see her anyway....

Sorry, still feel a bit ranty and upset

Hope everyone else is ok?

Eddie - oh those dildo scans are hideous aren't they?! But YAY for healthy baby, a couple of days out is perfectly acceptable timeframe, I guess it was scary for you to hear that, the people doing the scans don't seem to have any bedside manner... Focus on the positives!

Have they changed your due date?

Hi Eddie, eurgh that sounds like a horrible experience your sonographer sounds like someone who requires training on how important the information they're providing is to the person receiving it! My experience was very similar and sent me into a tail spin for a couple of weeks till I had a repeat scan.

Totally sympathise on the way it was delivered but it sounds like the results are pretty positive i.e. measuring roughly to dates and a heartbeat.

Was yours private or NHS?

Eddie sorry to hear your scan lady was rubbish. It's so important for these people to have a caring attitude, it can be such a distressing experience. I once was scanned by a lady who was the spitting image of Garth from Wayne's World, but with less social skills!

Hi Dreamy we were on the Feb 13 bus together, really pleased to see you here, hope thing's are going smoothly for you.

Oh God! I am such a tit!
I have been panicing about the faintness of the line on my BFP which I did on Monday afternoon. So when my DD woke me up at 6am this morning I though I'd POAnotherS to compare the colour of the positive line.
So I pee'd and the line was still really faint.
I laid in bed quietly pondering and then decided to take a look at images of 'pee'd on sticks @ 5 weeks' on google images.
So after a few minutes of comparing and contrasting I realised I had been looking at the wrong pigging line and in fact the positive line is marvellous dark and very positive!

Hello to all the new peeps

Is anyone starting to look a bit rounded? My DD is only 12 months and I had a EMCS with her so I just my tummy muscles are gone, but I'm only size 10 and am definitely looking like I have even too many pies! I'm hoping i can hide it/carry it off as weight gain from going back to work but i have expanded from right under my boobs too! It's not just my spare tyre if that makes sense!

I had an idea. It hurt slightly. I think it would be a cracking idea if someone were to invent a wee test that tells you the level of the pregnancy hormones in your wee. I'd love to know what mine were. I'm still 5 weeks off a scan and I wanna know everything's ok!

JeffActually guess that pregnancy brain has kicked in early

llamallama - me too - as we're duedate buddies, we're just as far along, but I'm looking proper porky. I can't see me getting to 12 weeks before the maternity wear has to come out of the loft at this rate. I'm not sure what I'm going ot wear to work that does'nt make me look really fat/pregnant....

Hiya, just had my second scan and unbelievably it's good news again! She saw a slightly bigger gestational sac and yolk sac, and a tiny fetal pole of 1mm so she couldn't swear to seeing it as it's so small, but the important thing is that she saw the yolk sac, at this stage (6 weeks ish, can't remember how many days exactly) she's booked another scan for 2 weeks and hopes to see a proper heartbeat and everything by then.

She saw no blood in the uterus so for now we are to assume that the bleeding is coming from the cervical erosion. I had no idea one could lead to this much bleeding, sorry for the tmi but it's like the heaviest day of a normal period, all the sodding time sometime with lots of clots. I was so sure I'd lost it but nope, all's fine. There's nothing they can do about the erosion, I'm not bothered though as long as the baby is ok.

Phew!
