Due May 2008 - anyone there????

[jacobandlysette]

Very very early but we have the all important BFP.

Anyone out there to join me?

Really considered not posting as everyone is sounding so positive at the moment.
I may be leaving you soon as have had a bit of bleeding over the past few days and it became much worse last night with pain.
After my 3rd call to the midwife, since Saturday, they have booked me a scan for tomorrow so I will let you all know.

Please don't let my worries make you paraniod though - good luck with all the scans.

Hi everyone

teeheeladyee

Good luck hun i hope eveything is ok sending you lots of (((((((((((((( HUGS))))))))))))))

Hello ladies, I've been lurking but have been too scared to tempt fate and join in!

I'd be really grateful for your advice. I'm 11 weeks and my vomiting and nausea has really tailed off. Instead of being relieved I have got myself into a panic - I had a mmc in Feb at 11 weeks and the same happenned then.

Has anyone else had this?

teehee- good luck with your scan. thinking of you.

teeheeladyee - my thoughts are with you - I hope it is okay.

teeheelaydee - thinking of you. Hope all is ok.

Torres - hi and welcome! If you are really worried, see your GP and see if he can get the heartbeat with the doppler (mine did last week at 11+5) or if he will bring your scan forward. It isn't unusual for the sicky-ness to disappear at this time but after your MMC ( ) I think you should be checked out.

teeheelaydee thinking of you and sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

torres that's exactly when it's supposed to tail off - textbook pregnancy as someone told me recently! don't worry although it must be very easy especially if a similar thing happened last time.

jacobandlysette and podglet- thank you so much for replying. I think I've just got myself into a bit of a state as I'm the same stage as last time so over analysing every twinge etc even if my rational side of the brain is trying to say that statistically everything is likely to be ok. Plus my 'helpful' RL friends telling me they were still being sick at 16 weeks and beyond- it hadn't really occurred to me things were meant to be calming down- don't think I've ever been textbook for anything!
Also hadn't realised that the GP might be able to hear a HB- will make an appointment for tomorrow.
Thanks- you've made me feel more positive. My 12 week scan is 2 Nov which seems ages away! xx

torres - If I were you I would go and see your midwife or doc and get some cofirmation that all is OK becuase the worry won't be doing you any good. Yes, it does tail off around 12 weeks for most but considering what happened last time I think they should realise you need reassuring. In short, I agree with podglet .

Teeheelaydee - I am 11 +2 and for the last few days I have been woken at night by pretty bad period-like pain. Not had much bleeding though. I had this happen with my last two pgs at around this time and all was fine, hope it just the same thing for you. Don't worry about posting something thats not so positive, we are all here to support each other through good and bad. Good luck

...actually that should say I am 10+2.......now to work out where I am and where I left the children

Hi Torres! Just to say that my nausea/sickness has tailed off too, and it did around this time too, I think, with both my previous pregnancies, which were totally fine (though my memory of all dates and details seems to have become alarmingly hazy, post-kids). So I really think and hope that all is well with you.

But can relate to the paranoia because I am feeling it too, even though I haven't been through what you had last time. I feel mad; first, I am longing not to feel sick, and then I stop feeling sick and instead of being grateful, I start yearning to feel just a little bit queasy again just to be sure the baby is OK. These early stages of pg are the worst.

Good luck with your scan, Teehee.

Hi all, teeheelaydee ((hugs)) fingers crossed for you. haven't been on here for a while as my sickness has got worse - struggling to get out of bed then out of the house, retching atthe slightest thing and vomiting over much of hampshire uuurgggghhhhhhhh sorry if i just made anyone feel worse

Teeheelaydee, good luck with your scan tomorrow, I will be thinking of you when I am having mine.

To everyone who still feels sick, you have my sympathy.
And to those who feel better, very jealous.

Torres - don't be worried if the GP can't find the heartbeat, it is still early to find it with the doppler. If he / she can't get it then press for the scan to be brought forward. It will help you relax a bit.

Am now 12+3 but still sticking to not telling everyone until after the scan. Bit difficult as I have started to show so have become a bit of a recluse for the next couple of days Am not surprised, with DS, I exploded at 12 weeks and just kept growing. I had polyhydramnios (excess fluid) plus he was big (7lb 15oz at 37 weeks ) and at 36 weeks measured in at 43!

Torres - my horrible sickness vanished yesterday and I actually had energy for the first time in about 8 weeks. It has been replaced by very very itchy nips (sure everyone at work things I have a thing about touching my boobs - v embarressing). These things do come and go.

Meant to say - was twelve weeks yesterday.

Walking womb - snap- actually DID something after work instead of lying on the sofa until gravitating to bed, like I've done for the last 7 weeks. Only I think I'm 13 weeks now,but it really was that sudden. Sunday I spent most of the afternoon in bed, yesterday almost like normal, only fatter. Still feeling icky when I do get tired, but its amazing how things can change. Of course, tomorrow, it'll probably change back but I'm enjoying it while I can!
Torres- with your past experience you should be able to get a reassurance scan- this may replace any dating, etc scan you have arranged/are planning on having. Probably better to ask your GP to arrange one of thema s hearing HB at this early stage is very hit and miss, can make you even more worked up when they can't hear it. Midwives where I am are told not to listen before you've had anat scan- even though usually heard after 16 weeks- becuase of all the anxieties raised. They found more women being worried by not hearing it and needing to come to hospitla for more tests/scans etc.
good luck to all, just taking 5 mins to cath up at work...but someone hassling!

I'm so grateful to you all for posting, its made me feel quite emotional that you've all been so kind! (surely a sign I'm still pg?!)

coby- poor you being woken in the night- hope that pain goes away and you can catch up on some decent snoozing.

colomboswife- that's reassuring to hear your sickness has tailed off too. I am totally with you on the paranoia. I spent all weekend moaning about feeling sick (and my huge embarrassment of throwing up on the pavement in rush hour outside the tube ) and now I'm willing it back!

walkingwomb- glad to hear your sickness has gone, but itchy nips sound awful!!

mumofk- that's a good point. I think I will plead for a scan or if not pay for a private one as I'm in London and there are lots of clinics about. The money will be well spent if it saves my sanity.

I've got my 12 week scan on the 19th November - I can't wait until it all is more real. I told my manager and another colleague at work today - they'd already started to guess due to my extreme tiredness, looking pale and sickly and taking a half day yesterday. It's a bit early (9 weeks tomorrow) but it was getting too hard to hide and avoid the questioning since I'm so obviously below par. I've decided to use my remaining holiday before xmas to reduce my working weeks to four days instead of five - it's the only way i can think of to deal with the exhaustion and still work.

Teeheelaydee - thinking of you and hope scan went ok if it was today, hope you are ok.

Torres - I can understand why you must feel worried, but it is a normal time for you to start feeling less sick so it's likely everything will be fine fingers crossed.

I discovered today that one good thing about feeling sick and tired all the time means that I've lost just enough weight to be able to fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans from before I had dd over a year ago! It's quite ironic that it's taken for me to be pregnant again to be able to fit into them but I'm sure it'll be shortlived once the pregnancy pounds start piling on again!

Hi everyone, probably me just worrying unnecessarily as usual but i'm 11+2 and my boobs have been stupidly huge since I got pregnant. Today I've noticed this is no longer the case. Is this normal?

Hey just checking in. Still have 3 in there as far as I know. Pazza - yay! another multiple!

We didn't tell anyone until after scans, we had early scans this time around and it is news that is very hard to keep quiet.

We have our nuchal scan on 1/11, it will be good to see them again. I had my consultants appt 3 weeks ago and they scared me so much talking about how much at risk I was putting the babies by keeping all three and that if they were born before 28 wks they would all die etc etc, so even though I am a planner I just can't do any planning as we just have to take this special gift to whatever it will be.
I explained to the doctor that even being able to have this pregnancy is a miracle in our minds and to have 3 is another miracle and what will be will be. I'm not normally overly philosophical about such things but there isn't anything I can do to control this really.
She seemed quite surprised by how matter of fact I was. I tell you what I sympathise with those not feeling well as this pregnancy itself doesn't feel like a blessing right now as I constantly feel so crappy and my poor kids are just getting snapped out left right and centre. Esp my eldest, I feel terrible but I just can't do anything else.

Morning ladies

After a battle with a very unhelpful GP's receptionist this morning, have bitten the bullet and booked a private scan for lunchtime today. Now just need to get through the morning at work.

indigoblue- that's amazing about your jeans! though poor you as you must have been really sick to have lost weight.

mrsstresshead- so glad your scan went well

hayleyandbaby- Hopefully we are in the same boat and it is our body finally getting used to all the hormones buzzing about.

chuffed- don't be too hard on yourself. I can't imagine how tough it is having ms and other children. I have been a grumpy cow from week 5!
