Due in June 08 - the rollercoaster continues...

[debinaustria]

Morning everyone

Hope you're all OK today

Deb

Urgh, having claimed only evening sickness I've just had a return to the previous and am now sitting at my desk feeling decidedly green. Yuck.
Welcome back nh101. Josey - nice to have a date partner :-) will be interested to know whether your scan confirms - oddly, I had this feeling I was further along than my calculations suggested and I was a week more along, which was nice.
Two of my pals are also pg, due at the same time, and have just announced, but am keeping schtum for a bit longer following recent traumas.
Sicky illy feeling obviously a good sign though. Bleurgh.

Hello all. Wow I have never been soooo tired. Yesterday I managed to get DD to preschool for her Halloween party (2 hours) then returned home to sleep. DH gets home later today so I can finally sleep with both eyes closed. Resting and watching DD takes talent. Morning sickness has set in but it?s mild. I chug water before I get out of bed. When I stand and get whooshy all that comes up is water. I get the yuk out then I can tolerate breakfast without problem. I?m still spotting but the pain is less?.almost gone, at least the heavy bleeding stopped. My belly looks different now. I was poochey only the left side but now it?s more uniform across and honestly a bit more comfortable .

I posted scan pic so everyone can see how tiny my baby is right now. New EDD 14June but think DD showed up a week behind on scan dating then arrived a week earlier than EDD?.so who knows?.let?s just say I?m due in JUNE 2008! I?m sure under the circumstances I?ll have another scan soon so we?ll see what date they pull out of their hats then.

Goingfor3 my insurance pays almost all of my maternity care. I?m only responsible for $25US to my OB/GYN and $500US to the facility where I deliver. This is typical of most US policies.

BSL still sending positive vibes your direction. Good luck tomorrow.

Gracie14 don?t give up hope. I?m very sorry for loss but believe all will work in your favor soon.

Thanks for all your moral support everyone, gorgeous day here , so I've been gardening whilst I had some energy but I'm flagging now!

I did go to Salzburg yesterday Sophie, spent a lot of money on exciting things like cleaning products, washing powder, drills, etc etc for the business, had lunch in Ikea, spent some more money there - had a quick peek at the cots!! Then went in search of maternity clothes.... could only find some in C+A and it was such a dismal collection - v uninspiring. I long for Mothercare, M+S, Next etc etc... I ave found some websites based here now so I should get some things ordered from there and I'll get family to bring me stuff from the UK at Christmas.

Enjoy your soak G43, I had a long soak this morning too, nh101, I'm hoping to have my 1st scan on Monday.Do you need a full bladder for such early scans? In the UK I only had a 20 weeks scan.

Deb

Great pictures TS, Your dd is gorgeous and baby looks so sweet on that heart shaped scan!

Deb

Great picture TS...have uploaded mine too.

Hello again NH- glad you are oK, though totally get what you mean about the worry...I don't think it'll go away until we have all our babies in our arms! LOL at you being big...makes me feel better as ten weeks today (yippee) and look like a whale.

AS for evening sickness...don't talk to me about that. It's evil, pure evil. Can't even concentrate on Spooks anymore.

Add, Update as you like.

Makescakes how far along are you? Your bean looks bigger than mine.

TwilightSurfer I love the way you put a heart around the baby scan picture, very cute. Your DD is so beautiful.

Makes, love the new name and great to see the baby picture. I will have to get round to putting my scan picture up too. I'm just shamlessly showing off here now DD1's picture is on the monsoon website, she is wearing a pink sequined dress with a fluffy white scrug.

I had a lovelyt bath and then went to bed and had a nap. I am planning to sleep all weekend too!!

Hello everyone. Can I please join? My EDD is 21 June altought don't have a single symptom and am still not quite believing it. I put that down to the fact it is my 2nd pgy as apparently symptoms etc are milder second time round.

Just incase I don't get on here later (I fell asleep before 7pm last night) I just want to wish bloodsuckinglooney or looneytunes the very best for tomorrow. I will be thinking of you.

For those spotting/bleeding, here's a quote I found on the Berkley Parent?s Website :
"Hi Becky,
It's scary isn't it? I started bleeding around my third week and continued pretty consistently (and heavily) until my 11th or so. I did two ultrasounds and in both cases the embryo/fetus/baby was viable. I am now into my 15th week and am no longer bleeding -- big sigh or relief.

No Western medicine doctor had an explanation, though an ultrasound tech said that she thought I had little bubbles of blood that were bursting, like air bubbles under wallpaper. My acupuncturist said I had old, stagnant blood in my uterus and this was my body's way of clearing it out to make room for the baby. So, no definitive ''this is why you're bleeding.''

From what I read, 1 out 4 women have bleeding and many go on to carry the child full-term. Guess it's just one of those things they don't tell you about pregnancy. Obviously, I'd suggest continuing to check and make sure everything is okay, but otherwise...well, for me, it was about waiting it out.

Good luck! and best wishes! Ericka"

Hi all

Have just updated the list as my scan showed EDD a week earlier than first thought. Managed to get away with faking sips at the work wine tasting this afternoon and just heard I got the new job I went for!(Promotion within same company so SMP should be ok). Got my first appt with mw tomorrow - will let you know how it goes.

BSL I'll be thinking of you tomorrow - hope it goes well.

PS - the link TS just posted is excellent, and very reassuring for all who've been bleeding (myself inc) so do have a look.

GardenAngel same for me, boobs maybe bigger but that is all although I do seem to have to unbutton my trousers in the evening already! (surely 7 weeks is way too early to start showing?)

ChinaSurprise congratulations on your promotion! I too am waiting to hear on one (more an extraordinary payrise really) and am keeping stum until then although they have been debating it for so long, I am worried I will really show by then (especially in the light of previous comment re trousers!)

Congrats China you must be delighted.

BSL hope all goes well for you tomorrow, will be thinking of you and look forward to a post with good news.

BSL Best of luck for tomorrow

G43 - Just had a look at Monsoon - your dd's lovely, what a great smile - what a proud mummy moment when she appeared on their homepage eh?

Everyone else - got MIL here and she had 2 terrible pregnancies with dh and his sister. She had hyperemesis(think that's right)for the whole 9 months, then when pregnant with dh, apparently at 12 weeks she started bleeding and absolutely flooded her clothes, the chair etc.. Assumed that she was miscarrying , the Dr said she had to rest for 2 weeks, and not get dressed because then she would do more. So every day for the 2 weeks he did a home visit to check that she wasn't doing anything too taxing and dh made it!!I'm pretty glad about that!!

Take care everyone, we were going out for tea but I couldn't face paying the money to be sick again later!! So I made tea but then couldn't eat it all.

tomorrow the boys are off school so we're going " here" - looking forward to a relaxing day

Oh Deb sign me up. That looks amazing!!!

A little relaxation is exactly what I need right now. I'm still stressing over bleeding. Started a bit again so got off my feet for a couple of hours. I keep focusing on that strong little heartbeat I saw Tuesday and reassuring myself this is NOT uncommon. DH arrives in THREE HOURS. The place is as wreck curtosy of DD but I'm too worried to fix it. I'm not a sit around and do nothing kinda girl AAARRGGGHHHH!!! Could I have more emotions at this very moment.

Will and over come!! There is a bright side to this somewhere.

Deb can we all come?? it's just what we need right now!!

Light at end of tunnel today, had 2 hours without feeling sick, which was lovely - I had forgotten what it was like to be able to just get on with things without measuring out my energy in teaspoonsful. Of course I spent the whole time panicking that my symptoms had disappeared but they're back now - managed to dine sumptuously on 2 tangerines and some fizzy water, now off to lie in bed and moan gently! - but it was like a little sign saying OK you've been struggling but there will come a time soon when you don't feel like this any more.

I look very pregnant all of a sudden and have v. few loose clothes (all my maternity clothes lent out) - am at work tomorrow and hoping no-one is observant! Scan next Thursday and will be able to tell people hopefully after that, all being well.

Congrats on job China, and lovely pic of your dd g43!!

Yes, come and join me, we can wander around, quietly moaning, keeping an eye out for the nearest loo, cooing over tiny babies, and snoring on the water beds in the relaxing room!!

I can't believe how much I'm sleeping.Last night I went to bed at 10.00(I'm normally up until midnight), slept until 6.00, had to get up to go to the loo, slept again until about 7.30, got up to be sick, slept again until 9.00, then this afternoon I had about 2 hours on the settee.

TS - your DH won't know what's hit him as you release all those emotions!!

Deb

Thanks for youor support everyone. Sorry I've not been on til now but it's been a HORRIBLE day - this BBC interview I think I mentioned went again and is being aired tomorrow BUT I have received a complaint from OFSTED today which is pretty clearly an internal set up!! AND....dh has been told he'll probably be made redundant in 2 weeks and it's not entitled to a pay out as not been there 2 yrs!! Sooooo, just hoping this time things DON'T run in 3's and that tomorrow ISN'T the 3rd thing to go wrong at once!!

Anyway, rant over . Will let you know when I get back.

Sorry I've not read the thread properly, just my head is a bit full atm so I'll come back and check tomorrow

Night xx

Sorry you are having such a st day looney. As I said before, hope all goes well for you tomorrow. As for DH, if you need any advice re redundancy, let me know, as I am a Redundancy Advisor for a large corporation so may be able to give you some pointers.

Looneytune - good luck for today
Sorry you're having such a bad time of it, you need some good news now.

Looney I'm so sorry to hear about your crappy day. DP's post was make redundant about a week after we found out I was pregnant with DD2, luckily his company found him another position though it was much lower he was paid the same and it gave him time to find himself another job without too much stress.

Looney good luck for your scan is what I had originally meant to say, you deserve some good news!

Can't believe it.....little baby with little heartbeat!! I was CONVINCED it was over!!
