November 2013- thread 5 of 100,000 ��

[honey86]

started yet another as im aware were about 20 posts from full again lol!

chaos I had a cyst when pregnant with dd, it was 6cm. But they didn't seem too worried about it and just monitored its growth (it didn't grow) when I had my scans for the pregnancy. Anyway I had my first scan for this pregnancy last week and I asked them to check to see if it was still there and it wasn't, so probably burst during labour. But mine was just fluid filled so guess it depends what type it is.

If it is small enough they may leave it till after you have had the baby or remove it through key hole surgery. Yes, this is the same hospital they want me to give birth in, the same one that 'lost' my mother for a month, takes a week to scan you, and generally has too many patients, far too few staff and beds but hey they have spent millions on two bizarre human shaped statues made with a hexagon pattern. :/

I had a cyst with my first too, they just said they'd re-check it on the 20 week scan as they would expect it to disappear on its own, which it did. Still not got a scan date yet. Rang in sick from work today, waiting on a dr calling me about my morning sickness too.

I have a cyst, its the type that disappears, corpus luteum I think, but that is very different to a dermoid cyst. How far along are you Louby?

Tiredfeet just saw your post on allergies - my dd has also for multiple severe allergies to egg milk and nuts. I have similar questions to you. Midwife told me to avoid all nuts due to dd having an allergy but tbh I am not sure that this is the correct advice although I am following it now. Dd sees her allergy consultant in June so will ask her then.

at my 7 week scan i had a small 2cm cyst on the left side - think she said corpus luteum?! but nothing mentioned when i was scanned again at 10 weeks.

how the heck am i going to make it another 8.5 weeks to my 20 week scan?!!!

harv I've asked the allergy specialist nurse when we saw her (but I was only 4 weeks pregnant at the time so felt to early to bombard them with questions) and she said no need to avoid anything. its so confusing though. although at the minute its irrelevant for me as all I can face eating is crisps and ice lollies! really worried about the weaning stage though, after what happened with DS (first taste of cows milk at 6 months resulted in an ambulance ride with blue lights and siren, properly scary stuff)

do let me know what your DD's allergy consultant says! we are also going to clinic in June (for more blood tests for DS , gulp) so I will try and get some more answers out of them then.

That's interesting and probably the correct advice.

What age is your ds? Dd was 3 a few weeks ago. We had a similar experience aged 6 months when dd had yogurt for the first time. 999 call with blue lights too. She did manage to come our of the reaction without any medicine that time but when it happened again aged 18 months she was given adrenaline and she was prescribed epipens.

Are you in England? I am in Scotland a see a paediatrician as opposed to an immunologist. Will let you know what they say

I just got a letter through saying I have to go for an outpatients appointment next month and bring a urine sample, anyone have any idea what that's about? Didn't have it with dd...

oh gosh harv can't believe it happened to your dd too! DS had to have adrenaline and it was terrifying. its awful that feeding them something you think of as so benign could have such a dreadful effect. Mind you despite the scariness it was sort of a blessing in disguise for us as DS had dreadful dreadful eczema which cleared up so quickly once all his allergies were diagnosed. We're in England, near Southampton which luckily has a very good allergies team who have been very supportive. will let you know if I find out anything else. and at least we can hand hold when it gets to weaning!

not sure what that's for mumma I don't recall it from last time, hopefully someone will know!

(he's 2.5, not sure how that bit fell off my reply!)

Curiosity got the better of me and I called them, its cos I have to sign a form.

Eco - I'm 9 weeks today

Doctor has just prescribed me Avomine as a start for my awful sickness. Got that for a week before they decide if I need anything stronger so think I'll be off work until they kick in.

I asked about allergies with my first because of my history and they said DS would get referred when he was around 3 for proper testing unless he had a reaction before. Weaning made me so nervous with him, although we've been ok so far (touch wood). It's just nuts left that we're avoiding now.

Anyone else feeling completely rubbish today? I'm aching all over, have absolutely no energy to do anything. Not really feeling sick, just feel like I need a long hot bubbly bath and about 10 redbulls!!

All those getting scans today, don't forget to update us on your (fab) news. The thread always needs good news.

Harv and Eco I also have scan tomorrow at 9:40 and worried after all my bleeding that it will be bad news but I am crossing my fingers! x

louby if you are feeling really rotten it is worth coming and joining the hyperemesis support thread, there are some people on there that know lots about it. feel for you, it is a rotten way to spend early pregnancy. I am feeling very fed up about it all today

mumma me

I too thought I was past the nausea yesterday but today has been hell. Plus the gas, well, it never stops.

I am 11+4 so assuming I'll be another few weeks feeling this crap. ergh.

yes positive scan news please ladies

just anything positive about pregnancy at all would be greaf. fed up and not feeling it at moment, and sick of evasion excuses and having to pretend to be super perky when im not!

Is anyone else getting cramping? It's like a constant dull period pain. Google says its normal for twelve weeks!! Been the same for three days or so now... Just the baby growing right? Ugh it's distracting and worrying

Still not long to wait to see if everything's tickity-boo.

Can't wait to hear how scans went.

surprise glad its not just me whos a bit fed up! tho i'm terrible for wishing my life away rather than just enjoying the moment!

i'm just bored of feeling knackered (i should get used to it sharpish lol)

kirjava I'm 11+4 and I have been quite crampy, feels like growing pains

that cyst sounds a bit worrying loves hope they can remove it without too much discomfort.

i'm 9 + 6 today. amazed i've got so far along without telling people. feeling v tired after energetically cleaning all the windows this morning whilst dd2 was at nursery. Struggling to juggle work & the dds & wondering how i'll cope with 3. Wondering why i finf these things so hard ln others just seem to breeze through.

i've had two or three dreams about having bleeding/mc & worried my subconscious knows something i don't.

also concerned that all my time is already allocated & i just won't have enough to give this little one. struggling to feel positive at all.

Kirjava yesterday my back and tummy felt like it does when I am just about to get my period (you know when you know it's coming?) More a strain than the actual cramp that I got when I was properly bleeding. It's felt like that a couple of times actually.

So, tomorrow williamina, kirkava, icing and I have scans and all in the morning. Lets hope that by the afternoon we will all have all reported back with proper due dates and lots of positivity.

Williamina I kinda feel like I am not justified in feeling nervous as I have has no bleeding or spotting but actually I am a little terrified! Part of me can't wait to see our baby, see that everything is ok and get a proper due date - oh and finally tell people! The the other part of me is so scared in case something is wrong I didn't worry like this last time!

Bangon, on a slightly different position as I am expecting dc2 but I can honestly say that we often really struggle with juggling work, childcare and all the other stuff that comes with it - pick ups/drop offs, organising childcare, cooking, washing, housework....actually the list is endless and that's just one dc. I suppose my point is done let other people fool you into thinking that they ate managing just fine as they probably don't. It's all rush rush rush and I never get everything done that I want or need to. Right now exhaustion often wins over getting things done and I know we don't spend enough time playing with dd as I would like. That's why weekends are precious.
