Late December - Early January '17 Babies

[GerberaDaisy]

Hello,

So couldn't see a January baby post (probably because no one is mad enough to POAS as early as me!)

Anyway, I thought I would start one (waves). I am 28, this will be DC#2 making my 4 year old DS a big brother which he has been so excited about becoming (we haven't told him yet though as very early days!) I am roughly around 4 weeks and we're not planning on telling anyone for ages so thought I would start a thread so I have someone to get excited with!

Please come and say hello! Xx

Freya I understand what you mean and that's a logical way of looking at it. But if it's stressing you out then maybe speaking with the EPAU will help?

Swan - sorry to hear your worries but those symptoms (or lack of) aren't typically indicative of miscarriage unless you've had this before - have you had any pain and / or bleeding?

Xx

Swan, it's really really hard not to panic isn't it. I have all fingers and toes crossed that everything is ok. Big hugs xxx

Thanks ladies - I have had it before gerbera. But guess what - I diluted a sample of urine and did a test before and after - top one is before, bottom one is after dilution (and it was diluted wee anyway - used up all my wee on the other tests earlier). Bottom one def darker. Clinging on to this hope - thank you!!!!

Fingers crossed for you Swancourt that everything is ok. Must be really hard for you tonight. Sending hugs and positive thoughts your way

Glad to see that Swan! Here's hoping for more positivity for you!

Fingers crossed for you Swancourt!!!

swancourt , keeping my fingers crossed for you.

GerberaDaisy, I'm still bleeding a small amount but I'm in no pain or discomfort. I looked online at the EPAU near me and they don't consider any pregnancy before 6 weeks and I need a GP referral. If it keeps up or gets worse I will go to the GP. Either way, nothing can be done, all I can do is look after myself which I'm doing. I'm still feeling sick and my boobs are still painful so I'm clinging onto hope. Thanks for your advice and support
Hope everyone is well today

Keeping fingers crossed for you swancourt and Freya. Sickness is getting worse but I'm just about managing but eating sweets. Every time I feel queasy I have a boiled sweet. It's helping but I'm going to have no teeth by the end of this pregnancy. Got my follow up scan on Monday & just trying to stay positive. Are there others with scans coming up?

Hi guys - Freya and swancourt, good luck for you. I haven't had any bleeding but am convinced this hasn't stuck. Don't know why. I've had some light cramps and am feeling queasy (although I am now on progesterone injections so that probably explains that).

I've got a scan on Monday too Emz. Am so nervous. I'll be 7+2 so they should be able to get a good look.

Fingers crossed for you Freya and Swan. Hopefully it's all just normal pregnancy stuff xx

Emz I have a scan tomorrow which I really do not want to go to but I guess I have to. Have done quite well on the positivity front this week but tonight I am scared. How are you feeling about your scan on Monday? Xx

Good luck stealth xx

Good luck samk, stealth and Freya!

How is everyone feeling today? Today is the second day in a row where I've had no nausea. A few days ago I was wishing for no nausea, now, im wishing the nausea was back? Has anyone else had their symptoms disappear? I'm somewhere between 6+2 and 6+5.

My nausea comes and goes. I find if I'm moving about and doing a lot of walking it isn't as bad. I walked about 10 miles altogether yesterday and felt okay for most of it. When I sat down again in the evening I felt really sick again.

Samk all the best with your scan today, hope it goes well!

Good luck samk, we are scan buddies. What time is yours? Mine is at 5.30pm - too long to wait!

Good luck swancourt and samk15 with scans today. I'm really nervous for my scan on Monday but that's mainly because I had a scan at 6 weeks and the sonographer was very positive. Although we saw a sac with yolk sac which from what iv read is fairly normal at 6 weeks. My sickness has ramped up in the last week so much that I'm hoping it'll be more positive. Iv started taking cyclizine as I had HG with my DS and had got to the point where I couldn't get off the sofa yesterday without vomiting (or at least gagging). So I caved. Wanted to go without the tablets but I need to function for my 2yr old. Feeling much better today. I think some people find the nausea does come & go

Good luck for scans today!

My nausea definitely comes and goes. It's sort of always there at a low level but sometimes I feel properly barfy (and I suspect if i let myself I'd properly throw up) and sometimes merely queasy. Have only actually vomited on 2 days, which is good I suppose! It's just all so stressful.

*The sonographer wasn't very positive.

Good luck with scans today ladies

I'm still bleeding a little, it's really dark and there's cramping. Rang the GP surgery and have a Drs appointment later this morning. The receptionist told me to ring a pregnancy helpline that they have and see what they say. I rang the number and it wasn't a helpline really, it was the maternity ward who told me they can't help but put me on to someone who asked a few questions and told me to go to the appointment and said that with the cramping and bleeding I should be referred to the EPU for a scan. I'm hoping that this happens but being realistic as my GP surgery seems quite hopeless. My anxiety is awful.
Hope you're all well

That sounds stressful Freya, I hope the GP is helpful and you get that EPU referral very soon.

Good luck freya you should be referred so fingers crossed they will take it seriously. You should try & make it clear how anxious it's making you. Hopefully they will be sympathetic.

Swan my scan is at 3.10, hopefully the day will pass quickly for us both. Good luck xxx

Thank you everyone else for the well wishes

Freya I hope your doctor is helpful and proactive. Sending you a big hug.

Admarks my nausea comes and goes, if I can occupy myself I can forget about it for a little bit but then it'll hit me like a brick.

Thank you MagpieCursedTea, Emz32 and samk15.
Just got back from Dr's, had to wait 40 min!! Have had a long nasty panic attack and now need to sleep but can't. The Dr was lovely, v understanding and asked me questions and listened, he could see how anxious/terrified I was. He has referred me for a scan so now I'm waiting for a phone call from the EPU to organise an appointment but probably wont be seen until Monday. Dr said to rest and try keep calm (hahaha, like that's gonna happen!)
I'm still bleeding a bit and cramping, expecting the worse to happen

I'm pleased to hear you had a dr who took you seriously Freya. Hope you do manage to relax a bit & hope you get the call soon. They should see you fairly quickly. Good luck

I've had no call and now the cramping is a lot worse. I'm still not bleeding a lot but what there is is bright red with clots. Pretty sure I will mc.
