thread #2 - TTC#1 Grads, sick bags at the ready!

[Runner05]

We've finally got our BFPs and have started on the long winding road of pregnancy.

Most of us are starting, within, or just leaving the first trimester where bloating, unexplained discharge and constant nausea are watchwords of the day!

We're battling NHS inconsistencies, trying not to kill our midwives and desperately looking for a magic morning sickness cure... It's TTC#1 grads!!!

Had an awful nights sleep due to the dog guilting us to letting him in the room for the night. The little shot was up every hour grrr! I had a few more bubbles last night, very exciting.

Indi your dreams sound amazing mine was about folding baby grows! Ahh a look into my future

Good luck with scans pink and choc!

pink my sister spotted loads through the first tri of her (totally healthy) pregnancy. I'm sure it's very normal and healthy. Hope you enjoy today!

Sorry, meant to tag plant about spotting!

Good luck pink!!

Hurry up next Thursday for mine!! Can't wait as I haven't had a reassurance scan so it's finally gonna seem more real!

Good luck for the scans today.

I'm a big lump of achyness after my first day back at work. Just want to go back to bed today.

I bought my Doppler last night, it should arrive tomorrow. So excited!!!!!

Morning ladies,

Good luck today pink and choc!

Let us know what the Doppler is like runner, I've been tempted...

Ah bunch really, you're starting to feel it moving do you think?

I feel so rough with a cold ladies. Inches off taking paracetamol but trying to hold out.

Planet, I had brown spotting twice and 2 red bleeds (not enough to fill a pad, first one had a clot) and have since seen my baby with an internal scan heart beating away; try not to panic too much (although I did majorly all 4 times!)

Lisa, I had the internal scan, it was nothing it barely even went in, definitely not painful just awkward but worth it

8+3 today and on my second day off work with a second UTI since being pregnant enjoying the time to chill though and hoping to go back tomorrow more refreshed

Have a early scan booked on Saturday (£49! A bargain) at 9 weeks so wanting the days to fly until then!

Thanks guys. GP has referred me to the EPU today so am waiting to see the nurse and will hopefully have an early scan. Fingers crossed!

How far are you?

Hi ladies

Scan was amazing! They put me at 13 weeks, 3 days ahead of what I thought. All looking good.

Our trust offers two free scan pictures, then as many extra as you want for an additional £2 each.

Congrats pink !!! Really happy it went well.

On my letter for my scan it says photos are £3 each at my hospital and you can buy a maximum of 4

Awww happy all went well pink!! And that's really good regarding the pics

Congrats Pink glad it went well

Forgot to say re stretch marks Runner. Sorry you seem to have been stricken with them so early. I have them from puberty on the top of my thighs/bum so expect I'll get more. I've had the ripping sensation in my groin/abs area but no stretch marks yet. I do appear to be slowly getting covered in thread veins though. They're everywhere!

Also is anyone else bruising really easy?

Congrats pink, so glad it went well!
I've just got back from my first midwife appt, all fine and low risk but they're going to keep an eye on my really low blood pressure (100/58, which would explain why I'm dizzy every time I stand up) and the fact my mum had severe pre-eclampsia. Have to go back next week for my bloods to be done and to take my urine sample though which is a bit annoying but never mind. Feels slightly more real now that I've got that out the way and I'm 7w today too so feel like it's a milestone day
How are the rest of you ladies?

indi I have low blood pressure too but it's normal for me (think I average 100/65) I've just got out of hospital went to the doctors this morning after a quick telephone appointment was checked over and was told I was dehydrated and needed to go in immediately. I now have 2 snazzy anti sickness bands and anti sickness medication and have been told to do absolutely nothing and drink whatever I can or I'll end up on a drip. Oh goody. Anyway, I'm home now with a litre of lucozade and watching up!

Glad your scan went well, pink! ☺

Fx Planet.
Congrats Pink.
Hurry up Choc!

Miley I really hope you start to feel better soon. I'm really struggling with nausea and cramping but only actually been sick three times so I'm counting myself lucky so fat. Don't forget to count the caffeine in the Lucozade if you're limiting it.

Oh god co5mo I didn't even think of that! Just had a quick check and it's only 121mg per litre which isn't too bad (letting myself have 200mg a day but never actually do if that makes sense. Never have coffee now, don't drink any coke/pepsi and only have the very occasional cup of tea) and the bottle is 330ml. Thanks for the reminder though! This pregnancy thing is a minefield

Caffeine seems to be hidden all over the place. Eating out is a bit of a nightmare too. Why do restaurants fail to mention the mayo in their dishes? I had the do I eat it or do I ask if there is raw egg in it when out the other night with friends who I don't want to tell I'm pregnant yet.

Oh miley that's awful, rest up!
Cosmo I heard that the Mayo thing is ok because the majority of big brands (hellmans etc) use the red lion eggs anyway, I've still been eating Mayo occasionally since bfp.

Yey pink it's ace isn't it??

Bloody hell miley take it easy that sounds awful! Can you manage to drink stuff?

Bunch - yeah I'm covered in thread veins and large swollen veins too. I'm like a roadmap.
