March 2016 bus chugging along, sickness and early scans galore!

[Kittykitty05]

Not started a new thread before, so I'll give it a go....

cherrytoes I'm doing the same, got some pregnacare conception tablets leftover, they say on the side of the packet you can just carry on taking them and switch to the pregnancy ones once you're done with the conception ones.

just had dinner of jacket potato, beans and cheese after a day of feeling awful and sick and it was glorious. it also settled my stomach for the first time all day. I'm going to enjoy it whilst it lasts (probably ten minutes max!)

Been to hospital this afternoon to meet the Diabetes midwife. She's booked me in for a scan on Thursday to check that the baby is growing okay and that there are no concerns. She did warn me I'd have a few scans - I'm more than happy to see the baby as often as I can.

How's everyone feeling this evening? Hope you're managing five minutes to get your feet up.

Had a meeting at work today where we were planning for the 12 months ahead (it's the beginning of our new financial year in August). I had to sound super enthusiastic about and commit myself to stuff that won't be happening until March and beyond ... I feel awful, as if I'm really deceiving them, but I'm not happy to tell them yet. Just got to keep telling myself that people leave for all sorts of reasons all the time and I will be going back so I shouldn't feel guilty about it.

Evening all! I've felt ok today after feeling rubbish yesterday.

Excited though as just got my scan date through- August 12th!!

Help! Got my blood tests done last week and just got a text from the GP saying give them a call tomorrow to have a phone appointment with them as my results are back.

Now I'm terrified!! I've always thought no news is good news - anyone else had this after their blood test?! Arghhh!!

Hope everyone's day was O.K xx

Could just be a touch of anaemia, jules? It won't be anything terrible if it's just a phone appointment. But they'll need to speak to you to do you a prescription for supplements.

It does feel strange when things are being planned at work - especially when you know that (all being well) you're not going to be there.

All being well I'll be off for nearly 14 months and by the time I go back the changes will have happened, and everyone will be used to them. It'll be like being a newbie all over again.

Indomitable - I hope so! Thanks ????

Hi everyone! Spectacularly late to the party but can I join your thread? I've been holding out joining as I had a mmc in March which wasn't picked up until 13 weeks and didn't want to get my hopes up. Slightly rough one so far - I had three days of spotting when my period was due at the end of June, counted it as a weird period, only tested last week and immediately worried about the spotting, which I now think was an implantation bleed. I was just feeling very pregnant when I had some spotting on Friday, panicked and called the doctor and got an early scan for this morning - all well at 7+4 so now I am starting to believe it!

Really odd how my body is responding to my brain so well. Before my bfp I felt a little off-colour but not massively. Bfp last Friday and instantly felt sick, boobs hurting, no appetite but hungry... which lasted all week. then over this weekend when I thought I was miscarrying most of my symptoms went, which of course panicked me more. Now they're back following successful scan. Anyone else had similar?

Welcome MyNameIsSuz

hi and welcome Suz!

me I have had the exact same thing at work with a meeting recently planning additional responsibilities at work for the next year, I also felt bad like I was somehow screwing them over but then felt a little bit defiant I guess like screw it, I'm not putting my life on hold for work responsibilities. I'm not looking forward to telling my boss though , I'm gonna have to tell her in September as I have teaching commitments (I'm a university lecturer) in the spring term and she'll need to find cover asap!

Hello all! Do you mind if I join too? Although by doing so I'm bound to jinx things... I got my bfp the week before last and EDD is something like the 21 March. I'm not entirely sure of the date, as we weren't actively ttc - we'd been told we'd need ivf to conceive (our DD, 19 mo, is an ivf baby). So am massively in shock and convinced it won't stick, if in fact there's anything in there...

Looking forward to chatting.

Welcome crispy and suz. Your bfp stories are both v exciting in their different ways. Fingers crossed for you both. This is a v friendly thread...hope you enjoy it :-)

Welcome Suz and Crispy!

Thanks marmite and Paper. It's always helpful to know that I'm not alone in the way I'm feeling! I'm planning on telling work when I get back from my holiday, I'll be 14 weeks by then. gives them plenty of time to decide what they're going to do and recruit for cover - often in my industry they don't and everyone else in the team just picks up the slack, but I think they will need someone as my team is a very small one anyway and I don't think they'll be able to absorb my workload.

Welcome crispy and suz

suz I thought I recognised the name, I think we were both on the September '15 group earlier this year. Pleased to hear things are going well for you.

kitty, we were! I was wary of joining another thread but today's scan has given me confidence.

Welcome suz and crispy!

Welcome to the newbies and congrats

Welcome newbies!

Thank you cucumber for youe fab idea re private 12 week scan. DH said we'll definitely do that if he's around. And embolio (think it was you?), that's what I wanted to hear; that I'm not the only one who's ever been to a 12 week scan alone!! It just seems so miserable to be waiting there with all the couples.

I haven't been on here for a few days cos I've been having a really rough time. I've now picked up a cold too so as well as the awful sickness I can't breathe, my head and throat are killing and I've been waking up drenched in sweat.

DH is away and it's the summer holidays. The house is disgusting already and the cleaners are off this week. Last night I cried so hard I vomited.

Don't know if I can do this...

Hi ladies bad news from my side so I'm going to come off this thread, hope all goes well for the rest of you x

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Beautiful so sorry you're having a hard time. The one night DH had to work late last week, DD decided to have a massive shit fit (the fire engine we'd been watching out her bedroom window went home...) and refused to go to sleep! It must be very hard with DH being away and I find the pregnancy hormones and tiredness make it all a lot harder.

I keep waking up drenched in sweat too! At first I thought my symptoms were early menopause!

Like many of you, I'm fretting about lack of sickness. I do feel sick every now and again, but I'm sure I was more constantly nauseous with DD by this point. If I was that sick again, I'm sure I'd be moaning about that too!

Oh just I'm so so sorry. Take care of yourself x

Can I hop on? EDD 26/03/16, I'm 38 and have one DS (22months).

Sorry you haven't had a positive outcome this time justnapping, I mc in March. It's a shit situation to find yourself in; the people on the miscarriage boards are lovely if you need some online support. Look after yourself.

Sorry to hear your news justnapping take care

beautiful sounds like you're having a tough time, and feeling the need for more support with hubby away. Is there a friend or family member you could share about your pregnancy with? We weren't going to tell anyone other than sil (as she's a midwife at my hospital) so felt we should tell before she saw it on a form! But a friend completely sprung me last week when I turned down wine so she knows and it was like a huge weight lifted. I'm seeing her today and looking forward to talking, and I know if hubby can't make the 12 week scan she'd come instead.

Also I've been to plenty of scans alone and staff are so supportive when you've no one with you. With regards to housework, sod it (sorry!). But it really is insignificant compared to your and your baby's welfare. So rest guilt free, it's the only time you'll ever have such a good excuse! Hope this is helpful

Very sorry to hear your news justnapping rest up and take care.
