February 2016 babies - the chundering continues

[twinsandapenguin]

The thread has filled up!

yes you're right should probably speak to doc

pain is very low down at the front and sharper than a cramp but not unbearable. had lots of cramping in first trimester with my first but it didn't feel like this. I guess all the troubles people are having on here have made me think more about it and I couldn't bear to get to 12 week scan and then discover something had gone wrong already

thanks baby

Could it be stretching/ligament pain miracle? I'm getting similar much sooner than I did last time - my mw says it's normal for everything to start moving around sooner if you've been pregnant before.

Isla and brummie keeping fingers crossed for both of you this week.

I had my booking appointment today. Was very relieved to be told that I'll definitely get a c section and won't have to fight for it (I had some very rare and very unusual injuries last time during my emcs so my anatomy is a little non-standard these days). It feels weird to be back in the system again but a bit more real now.

Isla, why not pay for an early scan? I would be terrified, like you.

Salads are uncompormisingly shit.

the smell of lettuce induces nausea at the moment,, not sure how you are managing clumsy!!
I have just had mini cheddars branston pickle flavour-delicious, I think I need another packet...

All I want at the moment is carbs. I've bought loads of oily fish, fruit and veg but am jest eating crackers and rice crispies

For some bizarre reason I am actually craving salad Feel free to send your unwanted raw veggies my way.

Purdie, can't afford one.

Will do rally in exchange for some of your healthy cravings please

I bought 3 packets the other day bosa I was so happy I had found a shop that sells them!

Mirabal you can get a scan on Harley at for £100 www.thebirthcompany.co.uk

thanks rufus

I'm on vinegar cravings at the moment, bought a pickled egg on the way home from work yesterday (as well as a massive pile of chips obviously) but even for me that was VERY vinegary

Mirabel

I've had several transvaginal and honestly they are absolutely fine. It's not uncomfortable and for the early part, it's the best way to see everything

It's partly as I had an issue with not wanting the male person who was supposed to do a transvaginal before (I was quite young) so don't want to revisit that in my head. Appreciate it's completely routine though.

Mirabel - I had an abdomen scan at 7w which was enough to see baby, measure, and see and measure HB :) how far along are you?

Oh nausea, how are you? Thank you So much for the 36 hour break you gave me, it was lovely and I ate lots of gorgeous things. However you have now trapped me in the loos at work and I WANT TO GO HOME.

Do you think you can bugger off again and go on another mini-break at least until I get home? Thanking you kindly, Bosabosa

Isla, neither could I, so I just insisted, very strongly, that a 43 yr old with a history of mmc should be reassured from the earliest opportunity. My GP agreed and referred me. I heard nowt back so rang the epau myself and spoke to some shithead who thought I didn't have a case. I demanded to speak to her boss who agreed to scan me. Don't give in. Demand what you need. You have paid into the system .

I thought only Satanists ate pickled eggs.

I am struggling with eating salad, fine with bad stuff (pizza, chips, pasta) but can't stomach salad! I normally love the stuff.

Who is doing the next thread?

Cursed myself. Just had a low followed by a 14.2.
Am convinced I'm doing some awful harm to the baby.

Purdie I can't even get to see the midwife until I'm 9 weeks. The consensus here seems to be that an early scan won't change anything so no point. EPU won't see you unless you're actively bleeding ( overstretched service I guess) Believe me, I've tried.

Hi everyone. Sorry not been on, been struggling a bit. Nausea is now constant and all encompassing, spend a lot of time retching but not too many actual pukes so far. I feel completely rubbish. I asked for a gp appointment but apparently I need to be actually vomiting several times a day to be given meds. I don't know. See how I am next week before pushing it. Its nowhere near as bad as it was with the hg with dd so I feel like I shouldn't even complain but I really do feel poorly.

I'm not allowed to eat at work so have been revolting and sneaking crackers and dried fruit into the loo with me. Disgusting but if I don't eat I'll be worse!

Dp is being great and really picking up the slack at home, I feel bad because he works such long hours but I just can't do it at the moment.

I also have insomnia which is not helping.

Sorry for being so moany, I'll be cheerier on my next post I promise!

I phoned this week for my booking in appointment, the first available was the 14/7 which I couldn't do so it's on the 21st when I'll be ten weeks. Hope they fit my scan in before the 15/8 when I go on holiday!

Just skimmed through and saw some of us have suffered losses hugs to all of you xxx

hello,

for those who are poorly. I hate being sick and can't imagine how awful you feel

I had my booking in appt today. it was pure bureaucracy. For blood tests, mental issues, whatever- pls go to your GP. .. I went to my GP twice before seeing MW also to be just put on the s system and receive some leaflets.. what are those appts for??!! so basically no news or interesting things came out. I asked about Omega 3 for vegans- she had no clue if algae is safe in pregnancy. I asked about NIFTY test as opposite to Harmony- she didn't know it. well apparently in some parts of UK you can get one of this scan on NHS if your risk turned out to be high.

anyways..
I will be trying to push for an early scan tomorrow. (MW also asked me to call EPU to talk about it, she just filled out some papers!) I've got discharge for 25 dyas, had some clot/tissue in there and have no symptoms.
after what you've said here ladies, I really feel that something might be wrong with me and I don't want to find out after I already said to parents.(my scan is just after when we come back)

Welcome mum! When are you going to tell him? Are you about 5 weeks then?
