Due Sept 2005 - Thread 2

[franch]

Here you go!

Will be back with a spanking new list of names and stats shortly.

Sarah Bee, so so sorry sweetie and big hugs XXX.

SarahBee - so sorry to hear your news.

SarahBee - so sorry to hear about your news .

I am around and about but to be honest feeling so awful (due to stupid working hours at the moment which just happen to correspond with feeling so awful and also add to it) that I don't want to bring down anyone else's feelings.

Not being sick that much, just feeling sick all the time. And I'm sleeping fine - have no idea what happens between lights out and alarm off.

Just want to feel more like myself again but know that other people have it worse.

Sarahbee, what sad news. Makes me feel even more pathetic for having a big moan and feeling sorry for myself. Take care of yourself.

Beatie, your post made me feel much better, and I smiled when I heard the echo of my dh's reaction this morning - he didn't get in until 1.30 last night from posh do, so I blamed part of my sleeeplessness on him!!

Hi - I am so sorry SarahBee. Look after yourself and try be positive. Easier said than done I know.

I just got back from A&E. Seen by Gynae who did U/S and exam. Got to see little one and we were told their heart was beating! Very small - 2.7cm. Actally I couldnt see anything from where I was nor could DH due to style of machine. My cervix is closed so they are happy enough but I have to go back and have an Obstetric Scan next Friday as this was done in the Gynae wards. I think my main concern was that my m/s stopped suddenly yesterday afternoon and my breasts weren't as tender. Believe it or not I was desperate for the symptoms to come back!! Im am medic too so, like your DH Franch, was worried about sudden cessation of symptoms. Believe it or not being in the profession gets you no easier access to services. I havent done any obstetrics since 98 and a lttle knowledge can sometimes make things worse!

I feel much happier now. I am prob only 9 weeks now and not 10+4 - but wont get a date till next week.

Hope those with m/s and sleep problems feel a little relief.

So sorry SarahBee

Boompi, brilliant news! It's so reassuring when you know there's a heartbeat, isn't it. I've been wondering all morning if you took yourself off to A&E - well done!

I'm amazed how quickly the 'beans' are growing at the moment - mine was only 16 mm last week at 8 weeks, so it looks as if they almost double in size weekly at the mo - no wonder we're all so knackered!!

Boompi - Great news. What a relief it must be for you. I had a scan at 7w 4d and the baby measured 11mm so it IS amazing how they double in size so quickly.

Franch - I forgot to say, I am green with envy over you eating a Chinese meal. I am craving food so badly. I fantasise about what I will eat when I feel well again. Chinese is definitely on the menu

So you guys probably don't want to hear that I just had a huge bowl of Chinese noodle soup for lunch!
Boompi, glad to hear everything's OK, although I am shocked to hear that being a medic doesn't give you better service on the nhs front!

Well, I'm still here - I think??? I was feeling queasy a week back but nothing now - absolutely no symptoms what so ever. I was having some sharp pains this morning which have died down as the day has gone on. I could fly up to Cairo for an early scan (9.5 weeks) but Doc wants me back up for nuchal at the end of this month. I simply can't afford the two flights. I confided in a friend this morning that I thought maybe I'd lost the baby and her reply was "My god!!, I thought you wanted this baby so much - why are you wishing it dead". Much like poor Sallie's sister, I'm terrified of turning up to see the little fella at 12 weeks and finding it not there. So sorry to be on a downer with you guys but it seems even my friends don't understand. My husband works from 4-4am and working without a day off all this month. Really really need some company .

Kiwicath - did you have many symptons with your first? I luckily have relatively sympton free first trimesters, so the lack of symptons may not mean anything, and may be going down now anyway.
Sorry that there is no where near that you can go for a scan, and it must be tough with your dh working such long hours.

Kiwicath, hugs to you. I do sympathise about the pain - mine is still nagging away, although nowhere near as scary as it was yesterday, and the nausea is back so I suppose that's reassuring. But it did disappear yesterday and, as zubb says, now is the time when many people find it starts to ease off, so hopefully nothing to worry about.

DH has advised me to avoid lifting - easier said than done with a great big non-walking 12.5-mth-old in the house who loves a cuddle

SarahBee, so sorry to hear your news. Take care of yourself.

franch - that 'no lifting' thing always struck me as bizarre when you have other children! I'm always carrying one or the other of my boys and neither is light!

Thanks guys, was having a funny five minutes back there. Franch, I have a lump of a non walking 13.5 month old as well who is not even considering walking yet. Just today I was wondering if I should really be lifting a 11kg babe in a 8kg stroller over a blumin great fallen down palm tree. No way of getting around it though, guess we should just be careful and "benz zee knezz".

SarahBee - (sad) take care of yourself, give yourself time to get over your loss and go easy on yourself. Big Huggs ((((((( ))))))))

Hi, Tooks here. Have been on the ttc threads for a few months and have been without internet for a while- so just posting to those who might remember me from ttc to say that I am pregnant at last! Due on 29th september- this will be baby number two. feeling much worse than I ever did with number one- very tired and sick- but not complaining- just delighted to be preg at last!

Kiwikath - just to let you know I have just spoken with a friend who is also due sept 05 and her symptoms have stopped too. I guess we should feel lucky. I still have food aversions but no longer sea sick all the time. There is a good chance of the ms coming back though. Where is Cairo? Are you on the South Island?

DecafArabica - Ive actually had worse service at times when I have let people know what I do. They get very defensive so now I dont mention it unless asked!

Congratulations Tooks and welcome

Cheers Boompi. We're still living in the Sinai (Egypt) but have decided to up sticks and move back home after 15 years!!! Planning the move for mid June. What joy!!! - 24 flying hours with an 18 month old and a big fat tum. owh!, and a hubby, best not forget him

Well done Tooks!! Welcome, chat soon.

I also worry that something might be dreadfully wrong with my pregnancy--I didn't the first time around because I just wasn't aware of all the potential problems and heartaches; despite getting pg with DS at 38 I really hadn't been around anyone ttc, and have no family to speak of. Obviously when you are over 40 there's so much doom & gloom about statistical risks but I think it goes deeper than that: I'm finding it hard to trust (a) that there really is a baby in there and (b) that it's doing OK...

Morning ladies,

I woke up feeling quite "normal" this morning. No nausea, no exhaustion and no gloom and doom . I felt so good I weighed myself; what a mistake! To my horror I have put on 5 lbs and I am only 8 weeks . Can I devide this into 2 months and work out my average weight increase to be a healthly 2-3 lbs per month, or should I only count the increase for one month? I hope not because at this rate I will be the size of a house and at only 5ft 1", that is a worry. ( I think we need an emoticon for worry)

Kiwicath - I know how difficult it can be sometimes. I feel quite isolated too at the moment. I am not working and DP is working late most nights so long days ahead, also not been able to tell anyone about pg makes it hard. Great news that you can look forward to going home. Don't envy you the flight though Just remember you have all that love and support to look forward to when you arrive.

Sorry to moan about long days - I know how hard it is to drag yourself to work while suffering m/s and exhaustion, I do appreciate not having to do that at the moment.
