November 2013 - thread 2 - bookings and early scans!

[MummaPanda]

Where did everyone go? Lol

I had the absolute pleasure of a cuddle with my friends baby today - she was soooo cute! Cannot wait until I have one of my own

Ah, apologies may have confused the 16 week midwife appt with a scan appt

We'll be having an 8 week scan due to our stillbirth and know that they'll be ramping up the appointments this time around. TBH, last time I think I may have filled that waiting time between 12 and 20 weeks with shopping for cute baby things!

Hi, can I join your thread please?! We've just found out we're pregnant on Wednesday. Haven't even gone to the doctors yet but our due date is 14th November.

Less than eight months to go fairy then it'll be your turn.
Welcome susie congratulations.
DS up at 5.10am. These early mornings are killing me. He used to be a 6.45 boy, don't know what's happened over the past few months to muck it up. Any miracle cures? At this rate I'll never get any sleep when new baby arrives.

Hi SusieSu20

Welcome, and congratulations. I found out on Wednesday too and only going to the doctors on Monday. Have you had any symptoms as yet? I been have morning sickness all hrs of the day and the nausea is terrible. Some great solutions on here though so far ginger seems to be the answer.

Getoffthecoffeetable how old is your DS and what are his naps like? After almost 2 years of early waking with mine I feel your pain! He's now consistently waking at 6.45-7.

If all else fails the clocks going forward soon may help you

Welcome susiesu. Don't worry about the doctors! Round here they won't even see you until you're 8 weeks so I've got 3 weeks to wait still!

vix he's just turned two. He has a nap around one o'clock. At nursery he sleeps for about an hour and at home between one and two hours. He couldn't do without his nap, he just falls asleep if he doesn't get put down for his nap! Well done on sorting out your early waker. I keep saying I can't wait for the clocks to change - but am scared that'll make him even worse!

My DS is 2.5 and does about the same. And sleeps from 7.30-7ish at night. I think they just go through phases don't they? Very tiring when they suddenly change!!

It certainly is. Fingers crossed we get to the end o this phase sooner rather than later!

I am freaking out about a little bit but my rational side is telling me not to be stupid? Woke this morning with awful shoulder pain - it's not like the shoulder tip pain I had after my section more like I have slept badly on one side. It is both shoulders but the right in particular and my right arm. It feels muscular because when I love my head and neck certain ways its worse and when I sit certain ways it almost goes away, though not totally. Of course google has scared me as it is a sign of an ectopic!!! I had some pain in my side earlier but it felt like gallbladder pain as opposed to pain on my tummy aaaarrrggghhh! What do you guys think, am I being crazy??

Hi harverina, it sounds muscular to me. Don't freak out maybe ask for a gentle massage!

Welcome Susie & congrats!

That sounds muscular to me too but I'm no dr so if its really worrying you just go to your local drop in Ctr & get it checked out. There's no harm in being careful. I have to second the massage suggestion though

Am so tired today, I thought I'd been tired all along but this has really upped it a gear, I could sleep where I stand!

I'm symptomless and have been for a few days now. I'm tired but hard to know if that's caused by pregnancy or the daily demands of DS!!

Sorry it def is muscular, it's eased a bit and mainly when I move, god how irrational was I?!

Hi susie, congratulations!

haverina not irrational at all, just a concerned mummy to be who knows what symptoms to look out for. Glad that the pain's eased off and it's muscular.

Glad you feel better now harverina

Haverina, it's not irrational at all - you're a concerned mum. The main thing is its eased off.

I've slept for 12 hrs and want Togo back to bed. I'm sooo sleepy, I may have to have a napand I've only been up for an hr. jellybean must be on a growth spurt.

Had a look in the mirror after I Wokeup and I looked fairly pale, a bit of colour now, phew

Hi to everyone just joined!

I'm symptomless apart from a bit tired

12 hours sleep - the stuff of dreams! I'm still waking up around 4am every day so lucky if I get 6. Should really feel much more tired than I do!

Oo i am jealous of those who get naps. Dd is 2.5 and stopped daytime naps over a year ago. Hoping the next one might sleep better.

Honestly this is a whole new world of tired, I feel as though I'm made out of lead. I've totally lost my appetite too, possibly because I can't face the physical effort of eating as there's no nausea to explain it. Am having to force it down at the min.

I'd have to agree that you weren't irrational there Havernia you kept a line of reasonable thought open!

Is it right to REALLY want pizza for breakfast?! Craving a specific one from an Italian place over here lol
