thread 2

Bec your story is just like mine! Ours is a honeymoon baby too, after only a week or so being off the pill! We were quite shocked it happened so soon, but really excited now we've got used to the idea.

Hi ladies, I'm going to follow bex and jump out from behind the lurking tree to join you. I'm 7+3 with DC2. It's been a bit of a shock because it took me nearly 2 years to get PG with DS, but this one happened first time. I also got PG by accident a few months ago but had an early loss at 6 weeks :( so I'm a bit nervous. DS is only 11 months so I'm finding it hard-going looking after him and being so knackered. I think I'm a lot sicker than I was with my first PG too.

pyra I just wanted to say that I had 2 separate spotting episodes with DS so please don't worry (even though that's easy to say). The gp said it's called breakthrough bleeding and it's hormonal. He wasn't even slightly worried.

Also to comment on the 'bump' conversation above, I'm huge already and I don't know how but it's very much 'bump' like. With DS I was already so big by 12 weeks that everybody at work had figured it out, but I didn't put on loads elsewhere. I'm only 4 ft 11 so I'm not sure whether this is part of why. I also have fibroids and they grow in pregnancy, so maybe that's why.

Hi all, I booked a private scan today for next tues, I just can't wait for the 12 week scan it feels so far away. Has anyone else had a private scan done? I'm going to see my family in 2 weeks, I don't get to see them often as they're 5 hrs drive away so will be breaking the news to them. Just want to check that there is actually a baby in there before I do!

My GP said they will contact me. I will call the surgery tmrw to check again.

mimili I get evening sickness too. Can't eat anything past 6 pm

Rosy, nice news on the scan

Welcome, Purple.

Brighton, nearly all of us have had early scans! I've had three with a fourth one booked for Friday. Mine are all NHS, though, 'cos I'm old, bossy and it's an IVF baby.

Ice, Frankel and any other 10+ weekers: are you finding your sickness is abating this week?

Pram I haven't been sick this week but the nausea isn't getting much better.

Sorry, by 'sickness' I meant nausea. I'm 10 wks tomorrow and I'm definitely feeling less nauseous much less frequently. I'm hoping this is nowt to worry about.

Pram I am exactly the same. Yesterday I only had a bit of nausea and today has been much the same. And yes I've been worrying that its a bad sign too! Glad to know others are experiencing the same - perhaps we are "normal" after all

Same here Pram - 10 weeks tomorrow and surprised myself by actually wanting to eat today rather than just needing to so I don't feel like chundering! Think its normal, 9 weeks is meant to be the worst point for sickness (so says my app so it must be true )

Thanks for your comments ladies.
I've just been to the loo and there's no sign of blood of any variety, which is a relief. Although I'm feeling mildly crampy.

Pram, I'm 10 weeks and feeling just as sick as every, usually about 10pm. Hope it goes soon.

so..... scanned Martians, tell me, how do you deal with having a full bladder? and endlessly waiting with said bladder at bursting point for the slow old nhs scanners?
what did you drink and how did you time it?

Choc they told me a pint of water 1 hour before the scan is plenty. Also, don't know if it depends on your hospital but I've never waited more than 5-10 mins after appointment time to have the scan, unlike other depts at the same hospital. I still want to know how my 9.30am appointment kept me waiting until gone 11..... Sorry, rant over :)

This is interesting regarding Morning Sickness and when it peaks

Oh how cool owlina mines at 3pm make sure u let me know how yours goes :)

I had the worst nausea ever on sat but today ive had none at all slightly worried

I Didnt drink anything before my 10wk scan infact I used the toilet just before and she found baby straight away through my belly! X

bec I'm exactly the same due 9/3 and scan 27/08! Haven't had booking in yet as they do it at the same time as scan around here

My nausea is worse than it's been before the past couple of days, I'm 9 weeks now but no real vomiting yet, maybe I will get away with it. I imagine by saying this I will be throwing up within the hour.

Lyra see your GP if the spotting continues. They can refer you to the EPU and possibly a scan.

Blimey, Frankel, I'm not averse to meat, eggs, caffeine or vegetables! In fact, all the way through these weeks I have found my most pronounced nausea has simply been a warning to eat something...and anything has done the trick, particularly apples. I still drink energy drinks (less than 200mg of caffeine per day) despite the brouhaha about caffeine which I believe to be bullshit

Welcome to Owl, I'm sorry I didn't acknowledge you earlier

Lyra, I honestly think you are going to be fine, love.

They say morning sickness peaks at week 10 which in the past has been true for me; today I threw up in the kitchen bin. It's so hard that this is the part when you're not meant to tell anyone you're up-duffed!

I just read a news story from last year that claimed semen is a good morning sickness reliever. Here's betting that scientist was a bloke with a puking pregnant wife....

Oh god! I am hoping that is semen conventionally as orally seems a but much, especially with a sensitive gag reflex...

Read the above back and realised it was pretty gross!!

orally

(Shudders again)

Hi, just caught up on today's posts after my first day back at work, which seemed to drag on forever.

Pram, are you Pramela Andherson in disguise? I haven't noticed any real diff in nausea TBH. Apart from one memorable evening vom whilst poor DS was trying to enjoy his bath next to me, for me it has been mild nausea and the need to graze. Which is the same.

Whoever mentioned the full bladder thing... I had DS (and his scans) at Birmingham Women's hospital and my scan was a full 2 hours late. So I was nearly wetting myself by the time I got in there. Not fun!

In my scan letter it says a full bladder is not required. I am very relieved...
