Due In December 2007, come over here!

[Caz10]

I hope this works! Here is a new thread as the old one was getting v long.
I hope everyone is doing ok. If I'm anything to go by you will be wandering around queasy and exhausted - isn't this fun?!

peanutbutter, darling. Its AWFUL isn't it. I'm right there with you. Some days I feel very positive and some days full of doom!

Have you got a scan booked in?

Do you have an EPU?

GIRLS I am feeling SO sick. This is so much worse than anything I have had before with any of the 3 other pregnancies.

Last thing at night I lie there desperately trying not to vomit, I am now waking in the night with it, wake up in the morning feeling so sick and it just lasts all day long.

Its HORRIBLE.

Keep thinking positive Peanut! I know its hard. Its a good sign that its turned to brown blood though.

Pecka, sounding good with you too. Obviously sickness sucks but good sign

Morning morning to everyone - and welcome to the new mummies to be Glad to see another Scot joining - Babyox

I'm not even going to attempt to mention / answer queries in all the posts over the last few days - logged off Friday afternoon adn it seems like I've been away for weeks.

Pecka - no idea about the numbers but something is obviously still going on in side as ther numbers wouldn't be rising surely. Fingers crossed though and big hugs

JARM - V jealous that you have a scan this week - not even seeing my MW for booking for another week let alone a dating scan - very frustrated.

Managed to chill and not do a hell of a lot really this weekend. Awen how was your Rugby Club dinner - mine (well DH's club) was good - nothing fancy and odd not drinking like everyone else but enjoyed it all the same. As for holidays - we 're in the same boat looking at next year - although our 'big' hols tend to be skiing and we're trying to work out the logisitics of going late season with DD who will be a mth off 3 and button - hopefully 4 mths? I think we're not going to book in advance and just see how it goes. For the summer though - we're up there with the camping bit - trying to pitch the monster tent in the garden last week was fun with DD underneath it most of the time!

wrt nuchal scans - there's another thread about this that a few of us are on - we're doing one for various reasons but agree with all the stuff about it being your choice and no MW/Doc should have an opinion other than to support your choice and give you the best advice/answers and support.

Anyway, hope you all have a jolly day, and speak soon

Hi to everyone, hope you had a good weekend!
Pecka - it is a good sign that your levels are rising and that you are feeling so ill! I too am feeling very rough now and for the last 2 nights have woken up in the night and really thought I was going to be sick. Tend to feel a bit rough all day but worse in the evening and night. Also only feel better when I am eating but only fancy stuff like toast, crackers and cereal - not v healthy really! I have got my scan tomorrow and am really terrified it will be all over already despite the fact the sickness has appeared since the bleeding.
Peanutbutter, try not to worry hun (I know that is easier said than done) but the fact you are still feeling pg is a good sign. Can you speak to your MW/GP and get a checkup or scan to help put your mind at rest? Exaggerate if you have to!

Hello everyone

I havent been on for a few days and this thread moves so quickly its hard to keep up
I'm just waiting for my scan date, i thought it would have been here by now, i keep watching out for the postman to see if its here but nothing so far.
Ive also been feeling so sick, and tired all the time. Dp was off for a few days last week and i made the most of it by getting as much sleep as i could.

thanks for the kind words everyone, i feel a bit better now.

well the bleeing seems to have tailed off now - just went again (for about 4th time since getting in to work) and there was nothing at all this time. i'm still chewing my fingernails but am not going to ring mw unless it starts again. Pecka - we're all so hoping it's going to be good news for you x

hello everyone

pecka - it doesn't matter if you write whatever on this site - thats whats its here for, sometimes it helps just getting it off your chest... hcg levels sound good in my non medical opinion

mum2sam - congratulations! I haven't checked out the TTC2 thread for a while as it was all going quite but its lovely to see another grad! hopefully the others will join us soon

Ambi - no idea about nappy laundering services but we've used reusables from about 6 weeks and washed every other day over night and its been fine - to be honest when I stopped bfeeding I found bottle feeding more of a hassle than the nappies ever were!! I will def be bfeeding this baby longer if we decide not to try for another straight away

we use poppolini's easy fix and they are fantastic - we went for an all in one because dh wasn't keen but now he's as smug as me about our eco efforts as they are so easy to use (we do tend to use tots bots at night cause ds is a heavy wetter) check out the nappy forums on MN as there is loads of advice

peanut - hope everything is ok, thinking of you as can't imagine how worrying it is

hello to everyone else and all the newbies!

not much happening with me - got my booking in app on ds's first birthday so will have to leave his party to go but better than rearranging and having to wait - its great they do Sat appointments here so I don't need time off work (whole issue of having to explain what its for)

still no pg symptoms.... think i'm going to have to do another pg test just to make sure!

Thanx Insy- gonna have to do some research bout these reusables.

Hope everyone had a good bank holiday, pecka; keep your pecka up, as everyone has said, it does seem a good sign that the levels are rising for you. Although it all seems fragile at times, these little ones can also be pretty tough.

Mum organised a big family bbq this bank holiday, so it kinda felt right to fess up, although early, I don't always see everyone from one year to the next, apart from the odd party. It was nice doing it face to face to g/parents, uncles/aunties etc. rather than on the phone or chinese whispers. Still need to tell most of my mates and work colleagues but will try to hold on until my scan.

ooh, sun is almost peeking out, hurrah.

Oh and agree with you insy, besides sore boobs, feel completely normal, sometimes peckish, but not green like it seems others are - think I've been pretty lucky I guess.

Oh god, hope I don't get something else instead like stitches downstairs(dreading) or baby that WILL NOT sleep, ohh no, please give me morning sickness instead.

hi guys
ambi- were your family/friends pleased for you, well done for taking the plunge and telling them still having worked up the courage to tell mine yet

as for me didnt sleep till 4am thought once i took kids to school do all house work tidy etc have lunch,watch loosed women and gave a nice nap, well thats all stuffed up as school rang an hour ago to say dd2 not feelin well, when i got there just a tooth ache(she is waiting to have 2 teeth taken out in hospital at mo) and wasnt even remotely upset but she needs to come home anyway so now got my crazy 4 yr old running round like mad (theres nothing wrong with her now )

funny when i went to school you had to be dying forthem to ring home now just say u dont feel wel and there on the phone, what does she think i can do for her anyway. shes just bored now was better off at school

sorry rant over

Hello all,

I sympathise mad4girls - dd was up every 20 mins until 3am last night and i couldn't sleep until 4 either - not good when you are pg. Also feel sick as a pig (secretly quite pleased because it means I am def pg ) and have been in bed with flu all weekend . But on a positive note I have have my scan date - a week on Friday, yaaaay

Pecka - my God it's a roller coaster, isn't it? I think it sounds VERY positive - hcg levels are rising fast and you feel very sick - i think it's all going to be fine, I really do.

Peanutbutter - you poor thing, how worrying for you but great that bleeding has stopped, fingers crossed for you

Having had about 3 hours sleep and still feeling rubbish from the flu don't think i can manage much more, oh except to say hello to the newbies

Hi all. Haven't been on for a week and so much has happened!

Pecka-hope your doing ok. Don't worry about being negative! its what mumsnets for!

Peanut-hope your relaxing a bit now. I'm sure everything is fine. A preg friend of mine bled alot in her first 12 weeks. She is now 23wks.

Skiddadle-poor you! huge hugs to you. make the most of resting.

I still feel constantly tired and sick! Never feel like eating at all. DH is getting worried as i'm eating so little! He alos thinks i'm having twins as I am already getting bump and only 8+3.
Dd is driving me mad. She just wants to eat constantly. I'm not only worrying about me getting fat but also her!!

I've got my blood test for the slapped cheek tomo. Hopefully find out this week results. Had to go work this morning and a parent told me their whole family had just got over slapped cheek and thats why someone else was bringing their son in! I just stood their gobsmaked. I very politely said that you must inform us in sitations like that. I thought it was obvious! !

Hi all,
poor you skidaddle, my mum had flu while early pg with my sister and she was terrified but everything was fine, you can take paracetamol you know...but check with your doc how many to take....

pecka, that does seem so positive, sorry about the sickness but that's really good, iykwim

hope everything ok for tomorow's results bambino, i'm so about what that family said but it's quite ridiculous what people send their kids in to school and nursery with, we had recurrent impetigo in reception (I'm doing the TA course this yr) no matter how often you said, please keep them off til it's treated its HIGHLY infectious, the mother's kept bringing them in saying they were fine. Er, no, your child's face is one giant scab, they are NOT fine!!!

I'm glad I'm not the only mad camper, thisisnot and beachbunni! I'm not sure how I'll do in the summer with a bump but I think we'll actually take a proper matress to sleep on! we're lucky as dp has a decent sized van we can get everything in, just picturing the looks from other people as we unload, although to be fair we've unpacked a load of luxury items in the past including fridge, table and table cloth and espresso maker!! Well, just cos you're camping doesn't mean you have to rough it

Thanks for the info on reusabes insy, I'll research them on mn sometimes, also can you get recycled disposables nowadays? Might consider them for first weeks...

Ok I'm going to sound stupid here, but what is a nuchal fold scan? When do you have one? How much are they? (I feel so out of touch just having a 7 yr old and nothing since!)

Hi everyone,
Feeling bit more confident at joining in the chat now. Been lurking in the sidelines. I feel a tad paranoid after my m/c so I didn't want to get too involved in case this pregnancy doesn't work out.
I'm already sporting quite a large bump and was asked twice this weekend if I will be having anymore children. Guess I've been rumbled!

Been to toilet.

more bleeding

pecka

welcome curlygirly

I feel so guilty talking about it on here when you are all going through your early pregnancies with anxiety.

My DH comes in from work at 9pm tonight, I might go down to a and e and get checked over.

Today I made my booking in appoitment - I feel like I have know cursed the whole thing. It is next week. I saw a newborn today and thought god I want one like that (well with mine and dh's genes).

Pecka - i am thinling of you honey! With both my mc I had no symptoms/warnings until I started bleeding and that was just just bright red blood until I lost the sac which was painful (in both senses).

I WANT A BABY!!!!!!

pecka - a lot of blood or same as last time? What a nightmare this is for you. Have you decided whether to go to A&E? Is it still bleeding now?

Hi curlygirly when are you due?

Im still bleeding, its more than any other time in this pregnancy but still not loads iyswim

I just dont know what to do, seem incapable of making a decision

I am having quite strong cramp pains too

oh pecka, doesn't sound too good but I just don't know. Is there anyone who can take you to A&E - although it's not too long until 9 when your dp should be home... have you spoken to him about it? What does he think?

You poor poor thing, I'm sorry I can't be of more help. But things have seemed so bad so many times and then turned out ok (e.g. rising hcg levels today) so I just don't know what to say. Have you posted on another threads where people know more about these things? Is there anyone there with you? You shouldn't be going through this on your own. Big hugs xxx

Oh pecka :{. I would go to a and e and be bulshy and demand a scan. At least tonight you would have closure on the am I aren't I because they would be able to see something by now?

Have you passed any clotty bits or just blood?

BTW do you dread going to the toilet?
