Due March 2015 - on the way to booking in, scans and morning sickness ahoy!

[notoasthere]

New thread ladies since we are nearly bursting the seams of the first one!

I have an early scan tomorrow, started bleeding again last night through to today, its not loads but enough to make me want to know everything is ok! fingers crossed!

Huge fingers crossed for you mario at least you haven't got long to wait until the scan tomorrow and hopefully you'll get to see a heart beat. Will be thinking of you.

Thanks everyone! It has put my mind at rest a little bit and made it so much more real! Feels weird to know that there is an 18mm blob growing inside me!
Welcome to all the newbies! Exciting times ahead

Good luck for scan tomorrow mario and great news bounce.

I also had an early scan today due to previous mc. We saw a little 16mm blob with a strong heartbeat. The sonographer had to stop for a bit to let me have a sob!!! Midwife booking apt in 3 weeks and 12 week scan in 4 weeks

Yay holly such good news!!!

holly and bounce wonderful news!!!!!

My early scan is in 2 weeks - hurry up!!!!

Hey keeper
You don't have to tell your insurance company anything. The other persons insurance company can contact you directly and you can get your car fixed without telling yours.

This I know as I went thru the same thing myself a year or so ago. (I'm a driving instructor so get bumped from behind from time to time!!)

Even if you do tell your ins co they are not allowed to bump your premium. So when u renew tell them after they quote you!

But honestly the do not need to know if u don't go thru them - the other company will deal directly with you.

Hi everyone! This thread moves so fast !!!

Have just had a lovely few days off work with hubby and DS. Beginning to feel quite nauseous in the mornings and again in the evenings, annoying as it is it's reassuring! Think I'll ask GP for an early scan when I see her.

I'm due to go for a smear next week, should I cancel? I'll ask about it at my booking in appt but I think I read that the cells change in pregnancy and that could give abnormal results??

For those of you who have sore boobs particularly when moving around at night, I bought a 'maternity sleep bra' all the while muttering about how it was probably a con but it has changed my life! Well ok my night time boob pain anyway. It's kind of sports bra esque but not bulky with no pull or seams and actually looks nice in a gym bra kind of way. Support with no pressure. Highly recommend.

Now if I could just find something, ANYTHING, for the 24 hour nausea

Hello lovelies,

For those wanting to add stats it should be much easier now with this list listmoz.com/#31qp9NN66HJJw6bbT0l, just write your stats, press the plus sign and then click and drag to where you are. (Note: If you tick it, it automatically moves down to the bottom so you might want to leave the check box blank.)

If you can't work it out I can try and do it tomorrow.

Sorry for the late reply - hugely busy day and now insomnia. On the plus side, my DH bought me falafel which I've been really wanting!

Hope everything goes well Mario.

Fantastic news holly & bounce

Hope all goes well at your scan today mario

Sp1ral which one did you get?

Great news for you too Holly! Congrats! Good luck to everyone else who has early scans booked. It is so worth, I was having a lot of one sided pain and I was worried that it may be ectopic, where as now I know it's not!
Thank you sp1rals for the bra tip. I think I'm going to have to go get measured and get some new bras as mine are getting very uncomfortable and last night I started to get a lot of pain in my breasts.

Thanks guys, I have woken up this morning feeling sick.. hoping that is a good sign! I will update you all later, hope everyone else has a good day!

Good tip about maternity bra sp1ral... I've been using a non-wired bikini, which has been working okay (until a boob falls out and I roll onto it in the night... THE PAIN!)

christinayang I had my smear appt come through and told doc and she said I won't be having it now not until next year, so might be a good idea to let them know

spiral I hear ya re the 24 hour nausea!! Yuk yuk yuk!

Morning all so pleased for those who've had early scans
I'll be 12+4 at mine
Feeing v sick this morning but wonder if it's because had early dinner last night so been about 13 hrs since I ate. Spent most the night uncomfortabe my stomach and back both really achey plus hayfever, so quite grumpy

Morning all - Mario I have everything crossed for you for your scan today.

Holly and Bounce fantastic news about yours.

Safra I was discussing this with my husband last night and wondering if her insurance company would just contact me directly rather than my insurance. The only thing that worries me is when we renew in a couple of months and you get that question "Have you had any accidents in the last 3 years, regardless of fault?" Surely at the point we have to say yes?

I feel worryingly well today, apart from exhausted (but then DS was up 3 times during the night and started the day at 5am) and breathless. In fact DH commented on how breathless I was when we went for a walk last night - it was the slowest 3 miles we've ever done, took nearly an hour and a half!!!

Anyway, last time I suffered with anaemia from around 12 weeks, one of the symptoms of which was breathlessness and general knackeredness - I'm wondering if I'm suffering earlier this time? It's something I'll be asking the MW on Tuesday to see if she will take some bloods (even if she wasn't planning to so early) then I can get on the whopping doses of iron asap if necessary.

Thanks Sp1rals, I'm definitely considering that.

NotaQueef, bless you. Hope you feel less sick and grumpy soon.

I'm hot and exhausted.

Is anyone else struggling a bit with needing their DH to grow up a bit? Mine's only 22 (I'm 23), but I have to remind him to shower, encourage him to eat healthily and am desperately trying to get him to exercise. I can barely get him to do 10 minutes of Kinect 3x a week. He did have cancer at a pinnacle point in his teenage years and lived in a very run down house where the shower was broken and bathing meant filling up the bath with saucepans of hot water so it wasn't daily, no hot water in the house and no electricity on the ground floor. He doesn't really help that much with housework and - although usually I don't mind - it is expected that I cook his dinner. He does always thank me for it, but the other day with bad ms in evening when I asked if he'd do it, he said he didn't know how. He's very clever and works with computers, so I'm sure googling 'how to cook a stirfry' isn't difficult for him. Sorry for the bleh, I don't want to moan, I' just at my wits end a bit. I try to be patient but I really need him to get it sorted now. Any ideas?

(Btw, I'm not a wilting flower, I have been known to meet ungratefulness with simply taking his dinner off the hob and saying, 'Ok, you do it', but right now I just don't want these constant clashes were he feels 'got at' and whines and snaps and gets defensive and I get impatient because see it as him needing to do essential life tasks. NB: Apart from this we have a lovely relationship and I do love him to pieces.)

Last day in Devon for us today, back home tomorrow. We've had a brilliant time and the weather has been great, but in a way I'm looking forward to getting back so I can start the ball rolling with seeing the GP etc.

PickledPorcupine I play netball once a week in a league. Can't decide whether to continue for another few weeks or not. It's the possibility of being bumped into and knocked down that worries me. But not sure what excuse to use with my team as a lot of them are mums from school and I see them a lot so it has to be something believeable!

Mario, lots of luck for your scan today, hope all is well.

Smoke I sympathise - my DH (who is nearly 34 so really is old enough to know better!) will help witht he housework but I have to ask him, he won't just think "oh the floor's looking a bit dirty and hasn't been hoovered for a couple of days, I'll do it now". Any more than hoovering requires full written instructions. And as for cooking...well, he just doesn't and can't! Any time I am away for more than a few hours, leaving him to look after DS, he will always undoubtedly end up at his Mum's, and she just completely takes over with DS which pisses me off but that's another story and one reason I'm dreading labour this time and making arrangements for DS...

Sp1ral I can sympathise - also 24 hour nausea (with sudden sweaty outbreaks and shakes and then all of a sudden going cold) I don't feel like it would be quite so bad if I could actually be sick but this constant state is shit

So far I've tried the following without success:
Ginger biscuits
Peppermint tea
Ice lollies
Water
Decaf tea
Nuts
Crips
Dry crackers
Rolls
Toast (white and granary)
Diet lemonade - fizzy and flat
Plain cake
Rich tea biscuits
Rice
Pasta
Grilled chicken
Scrambled egg

Can't tolerate any fruit at all but can just about force down veg.

If I eat little and often, the nausea is there
If I eat lots and often, the nausea is still there
If I eat a tiny amount spaced apart, the nausea is still there

I've been off work since Tuesday, can barely move but have managed to get a GP appointment for this morning. Was hoping to avoid going to the surgery but I called to ask for help yesterday morning and no one called me back I'll let you know if there is anything else they suggest.

Please, please could you tell me where you got your bra Sp1ral?

fox more sympathy on the 24hr nausea. Being sick doesn't help me at all. On the few occasions when I have been the nausea is back again after about 30 seconds. I have 10 min. in the morning when I feel well, then that's it for the rest of the day. I've lost 5lb so far. Went to the doctors Monday, they gave me cyclazine (sp?) for the nausea, but if anything that made me worse, and more depressed as getting something to help made me happy just to be brought down lower. I don't want to be a downer, but if you get something to help, treat it with caution. Midwife told me yesterday that she doesn't mind if I starve, just as long as I keep fluids down.

To make matters worse we told my Mum last night, I was hoping to hear that she suffered the same, get tips, understanding and sympathy, but no, apparently she didn't have any nausea or sickness at all. So just sympathy.....and some dodgy pregnancy books from the 70's!!!

smoke is there anyway you can get him to at least help you in the kitchen and then slowly he will learn what to do? Gentle encouragement. And explain to him just how tired you are? And why it is so important for him to help you? I have a parenting Ap that has a section on information for partners and it's great at explaining just why we are so exhausted and why we need the extra help.

Oh my :0 I've missed loads on here!

Doubt my ds will give me a chance to catch up on everything so I'll just say hope your all well and welcome any newbies

Can say today is defo gonna be a grumpy day for me :/
