posted on stats too...dragonhart see you are just up the road from me..I am at the end of the m62..are you going to the july meet up???

Hope everyone is ok! We are good here although feeling completley unpregnant but think this is due to having to focus soo much on DD at the minute that I cant sit back and experience the tiredness and sickness iykwim. Although when I was up with her on sat night I felt like sobbing with exhaustion which I have never done..lol

Loubie37 · 05/06/2006 08:31

Morning everyone...I'm fed up again. After not having anymore red bleeding since a week last Friday, I had just started thinking everything was going to be fine until I got up this morning and fouind it's back again :( I know I've had it before and everything has been OK, but I can't help thinking my luck is going to run out soon....

I rang the EPAU and they've booked me in for another scan (my 3rd so far) on Wednesday, so fingers crossed everything will be OK.

I'm feeling a tad worried as my nausea has more or less gone, but my boobs are still really hurting so I'm hoping that's a good sign?

Hope everyone else is well?

xx

Nemo1977 · 05/06/2006 08:38

hugs loubie...try not to worry as bonkerz on dec o5 thread had a lot of bleeding with her DD who is now a bouncing 5mth old.

I also bled a lot with ds but didnt know I was pg.

Meant to add before about expanding waists..omg I cant fasten 95% of my trousers..is this due to it being my 4th pregnancy in 3 yrs? I hope so as I am fast running out of clothes..lol

becks5109 · 05/06/2006 13:10

have had brown spotting now for about 2 weeks - do you think i should be overly worried - had same in 1st pregnancy so trying not to worry. I did phone my EPU about a week ago and they said if there's no pain or clots then not to worry. Have had tummy aches but nothing out of the ordinary i don't think and still feeling sick on and off. Cut my finger at the weekend and cried like a complete wuss which is so unlike me!

LadyTophamHatt · 05/06/2006 20:41

Ok...so the sickness has more or less gone and now I feel soooo un-pregnant it's scary.
No other symptons to mention as I'm not even sure I'm feeling that tired. Even when I'm not PG I usually fall asleep on the sofa every night so it's not unusual for me to do that.
In actual fact I've not been falling asleep on the sofa as much now I think about it.

Been having a few achy pains too....

God here goes the paranoia again!
My MW siad that in her experience the 4th pregnacy usually does through up extra aches and pains so I'm thinking optimistically and trying not to worry
Have to phone the hospital tomorrow to arrange my 12 wek scan so might see is I can have it a bit earlier just to put my mind at rest.

Hope everyone else is doing ok, only a few weeks left of the 1st trimester eh girls??

Dragonhart · 05/06/2006 20:53

Thought that the sickness had gone this weekend as had been feeling really good but today it is back with a vengence! Had alot of sleep this weekend so maybe that is what it is cos went to bed lateish last night and today have been knackered with a banging headache! Might go to bed soon!!

Hope all goes well on wed Loubie.

Nemo - Hope your dd is getting better. Also, what july meetup?

Nemo1977 · 05/06/2006 20:57

LTH symptoms non existent here so dont fret.

Dragonhart there is a meet in manchester for meal on july 15th I think will dig out the thread.

Well went from good day to crap day today. With DD being in hospital DHs work[been there 3mths and had to take a week off when dd was in hospital last time] are saying they are not paying him for last week and he has no holidays to take which puts us in dire financial crap. Never rains but pours in the Nemo household.

UCM · 05/06/2006 23:13

Ok, I can join now as I am starting to be a bit more positive. I have a scan on Wed to find out if it's all going ok.

indignatio · 06/06/2006 08:08

Morning all
Another one here with no symptoms - am I making this up ?
Wish the MW would get back to me re early scan - but guess I'm just being greedy
Have told many friends but not ds - he isn't stupid - friend who didn't know that he didn't know (if you can follow that) asked him at the weekend if Mummy had a baby in her tummy and he replied "I think so" - how weird is that
love to all

lulu25 · 06/06/2006 08:28

Me too. Much more energy than I had a couple of weeks ago and only symptom is sore boobs.

I haven't been falling asleep on the sofa as much either but in my case not drinking has probably got something to do with it.

Still haven't booked in or anything because I was supposed to be moving house, but everything has slid by a couple of weeks. Suppose I should organise something here just in case.

elliepippamummy · 06/06/2006 08:36

glad most of us ar feeling okay reading that many of you haven't got any symptons has put my mind at rest as I have only got tiredness and that hits me at 8.30pm so normally going to bed around 9ish. Decided to cancel the private scan I had booked for today as DH couldn't get any time off work and feelin more positive now. Decided to save the money and splurge on a 4d scan as new clinic opened near us that offers it, said septemer would be the best time for us to see the baby and we'll take DD with us so she gets an idea whats going on! Hope everyone enjoys the sunny weather got to go and get ready for toddler group now!

MerlinsBeard · 06/06/2006 08:53

Just popped my head round to see how everyone was doing...Hope that ur scans come round quickly so u get to see ur little ones.

Loubie37 · 06/06/2006 09:24

Hi

I'm still really tired, I fall asleep on the sofa every evening without fail, and once or twice I've even dozed off in the bath Grin

Just had the fright of my life, the cat brought a live mouse in, it's a good job DH is working locally, thankfully he came home and sorted it out for me. I don't know what he must have thought though when I rang him up, all he heard was 'cat' and me screaming, he thought something had happened to her!

Can't wait for my scan tomorrow for reassurance...on one hand I feel a bit guilty because I've had this bleeding before and everything was OK, but on the other hand, I didn't ask for another scan, they just booked me in when I rang in to say it was back.....and who knows, it might not keep being good news :(

Right, I've got some tidying up to do in the living room and the plants to get watered before it gets too hot, so I'll catch up with you all later :)

Loubie xx

PS Hello, MoM it's nice to see you keeping in touch. I hope things are getting a little easier now? Not the right words I know, but just wanted you to know I'm thinking of you x

laughalot · 06/06/2006 09:26

Hi everyone hope you are all well im sick sick sick I had no symptoms a few weeks back and now its hit me Sad I have been busy though we had a new fitted kitchen at the weekend and a 22 month old a plumber joiner and electrician dont mix Grin. I am 9 weeks tomorrow but according to my scan im only 8 weeks so who knows, my dating scan is the 23 june I hope all goes ok because that day is a friday and on the monday we are going to gran canaria. Hope all goes ok for the ladies who are bleeding and have scans the next few days xxx

UCM · 06/06/2006 11:32

Hi loubie, what time is yours, mine is at 10am.

Loubie37 · 06/06/2006 11:51

Snap!! Hopefully I'll be going back to work straight after so I won't be able to post how I got on until I get home. So no news will definitely mean good news ;)

I feel a bit guilty because since I found out I was pregnant I've only managed to be at work for 4 days...I've had getting on for 2 weeks off sick and a week off on leave...I just hope they don't think I'm milking it!

Hope you get on good too, I'm sure you will :)

ELM · 06/06/2006 12:42

Hi everyone, thought I'd introduce myself as I've been reading for a couple of days.
25 and this is my first...how scary!
amazing, but definitely scary.
Due Date: 20th Jan
Good Luck to everyone who is having a scan in the next couple of days

flibertygibbet · 06/06/2006 13:40

Welcome ELM!

It's so exciting being pregnant with your first. I remember wondering how on earth my body knew what to do! I found every change and development fascinating. I loved reading the week by week decriptions. Make sure you enjoy it, it's easy to spend a lot of time worrying too!

I have a 20 month DD and my second is due 10th Jan. This time I'm amazed by how much older I feel than last time Shock and how I really don't have the time to be feeling so dopey and awful!

LadyTophamHatt · 06/06/2006 16:06

Ohhhh, it has made me feel better that some of you have zero symptons now.
Saying that though I was at a friends house earlier and a wave of neauea flooded over me. I had to ask her for a extra few biscuits to keep it a bayGrinShock
She's just had her 3rd Ds 4 weeks ago and he is adorable. It was pleasing to see that I haven't lost the knack of winding a newborn as I held him while she answered the phone and the illusive burp that she couldn't get came up within a few minutesGrin
It felt lovely to have a teeny baby in my arms again and he smelt (is that a real word??) delicious

becks5109 · 06/06/2006 16:33

god am so furious have to type to get it out my system - I told mum last week i was pg as she had pretty much guessed but haven't even told my OH i have told her or he'll want to tell his mum too and i'm quite supersititous and would rather wait till i'm 12 weeks to tell people. Anyway just had a phone conversation wtih my mum who mentioned that a daughter of a friend of her's is pg and of course everyone is over the moon. So my mother just said "i hope you don't mind but i told her you were too" I am furious and told my mother so as I haven't even told any of my friends yet let alone my dad and she's telling random family friends. She knows i'm really cross with her and she does feel bad but i feel really let down by her. I consider her to be one of my best friends and can't believe she has betrayed me like that. Shje's coming up tonight to stay with us till the weekend as my dad is away and i now wish she wasn't. Hopefully by the time she arrives my anger will have subsided. Sorry to rant just needed to get it off my chest.

LadyTophamHatt · 06/06/2006 17:31

Has trinityrhino been around today?
She was having her dating scan today.....

Hope it's all good news TR.

elliepippamummy · 06/06/2006 18:03

Hi ELM & USM

Got my dating scan for 5th July (was week b4 but we're on hols) the 5th is our 3rd wedding anniversary which is quite a coincedence. Got scan at 1 and got to hang around untril 1.50 to see consultant because of DH heart conditon the baby has to be monitored until we know whether it has inherited it or not (only runs down male side of family so will give away the sex if the baby does have it!) have to got to Brompton Hosp in London at 18 weeks and have full heart scan done on baby. Went when expecting DD and had a good day out shopping with my mum not sure it will be so relaxing this time with a 21 month old with us to!!

trinityrhino · 06/06/2006 18:29

hi all, had my scan today and it wasn't fun.

I thought I was quite far on, like 10+ weeks but the scan they did at the clinic near me with a portable scan machine could hardly make out a pregnancy sack (thats what she called it) so they asked me to go the antenatal unit in the hospital and they have dated me as 5+6.

becasue I'm sure I haven't had a period in may and I don't think I had one in April, I shoudl be further along than thats (shouldn't I??)

anyway there was talk that maybe I had been pregnant for longer than the 5+6 but that it wasn't progressing.

hubby thinks that it is fine and that I just am not very far along.

registrar also thinks that but because we don't really know about my periods and I was so obviously worried that maybe something wasn't right thay are going to scan me again next tuesday. By then I will be 6+6 and the lady said she will be able to detect a heartbeat by that time.

they have clearly seem the pregnancy sack and the yolk that the baby feeds off till the placenta kicks in but if I am 5+6 and everything is fine then she wouldn't have been anle to get a heartbeat anyway.

but by next week she said that she would be able to, so basically if there is no heartbeat next week then.....

I don't know why I feel so worried, it's not like my periods have ever been regular or that we were counting the days and know for sure when we had sex or when I was last on.

I'm just trying to think, it's all fine and I'm 6 weeks pregnant.

Until the scan says anything different(pray to god that it doesn't) then I'm going to be happy I'm pregnant.

sorry to waffle, it really does help to write it downSmile

Loubie37 · 07/06/2006 07:58

Hi, try not to worry too much TR - I'm, sure if you were supposed to be 10 weeks and something had happened you would know by now? Also, it's quite possible that you didn't have a period in April because you didn't ovulate and the you got pregnant the next month before you had chance to have a period again iykwim?? Which would make your dates about right? It's good news seeing the yolk, if the sac had been empty it would have been more worrying. Fingers crossed that when you go next week there'll be a nice healthy heart beat.

My forst scan dated me at 5+4 and we saw the same as you - a sac and yolk and when we went back 6 days later we saw the heart beat really clearly. I just hope we do today as well....

I've got a scan at 10am, feeling really nervous about it, I keep thinking my luck's going to run out soon and it won't keep being good news....hard to explain. On a more positive note, I've retched this morning for the first time, it was awful but it made me so happy!! :o

Anyway, I'd best go get dressed, will catch up with you all tonight when I get home from work (can't use the net at work :()

Loubie xx
