Am I the only one due in Dec 09?

[Moosy]

Any more??

of course you can have that luck i had 3 lovely pgs in a row before my mc.

Can you ring the maternity unit at your local hospital? We have a gyane unit at one hospital that you can present at, or an EPU at a different hospital.

Not if you said your symptoms had lessened in the past day or so. Maybe just give it a few days and see how you feel?

I have been looking at private scans today. Gawd, we are all very neurotic on this thread!

say you have lessining symptoms and cry at them for added effect

my nhs scan up the hoo-ha on tuesday

tuesday 12th

So sorry loobyboo
MarlaSinger try not to worry, ive had a symptom free day today aswell. Just take it easy over the weekend hopefully you will be throwing up soon!
pinkjenny Lol we are very neurotic on here, I dont remember being this paranoid when I was pregnant with my son!
Good luck to anyone having scans soon! Ive had mine come through and its the same date as an important day for my DH work so im having to change it
Hopefully I might be able to get an earlier appt!

I never added myself to the list but posted early on.
had scan at 7 weeks saw heartbeat had scan yesterday meant to be 10 weeks but baby died at 8 weeks booked in to have erpc next tues am devastated. know how you all feel those that have mced.

Really sorry to hear your news Looby and Ray. Thinking of you both over the next week.

Marla - sorry to hear about your worries. What your experiencing (loss of symptoms some days and cramps in early pg) sounds really normal. I'm with you on the detached view and being neurotic.

I've not been posting because I don't really want to feel properly engaged in the pg until I'm out of the 1st trimester. I've have been having pretty much the same worries as most of you re the lack of symptoms. With DD I had a pretty easy pg but at this stage had a really odd sense of smell, needed to eat carbs all the time to stop feeling sick (but was never actually sick), had really hot flushes and sat in work in a vest top with the windows open in Dec (I have my own office!) and my boobs were so sore I'd wake myself up in the night if I turned over onto them. They were all really obvious pg signs.

I should be 10 wks today by LMP but am generally feeling pretty much normal and have been pretty much all the time. Have been getting up for the loo in the night (sorry TMI!) but that may be because I'm trying to drink more fluids. Have been incredibly tired but that may be because I'm getting over a cold and I'm getting up in the night to go to the loo! Boobs hurting a bit on the sides if I press them but that might be because I keep pressing them! Had quite an obvious tummy a couple of weeks ago but that seems to have gone now. I did have a really tiny amount of bleeding two weeks ago but that seemed to be external and the mw was not even slightly concerned about it. I have been really stressing about it and repeatedly googling unhelpful things. Scan 2 wks tomorrow so probably too late to be worth booking a private one now.

My rational self says that there is just nothing you can conclude from it. Loads of people have no symptoms and really healthy pregnancies. Some people carry on having pg symptoms and then sadly discover they have had a MMC at the scan. In any case if anything has/does go wrong there's nothing you can really do to prevent it so there's not point in worrying... my irrational self on the other hand...

sorry that is now a mammoth post but it is nice to let out the stress a bit!

On a sl different note......do any experienced mums out there have headache remedies they can recommend.
Pharmacist useless and holland and barratt recommended nelsons homeopathic 'ignatia' I think but weren't confident that its suitable in pregnancy.
Sort of headache you just know 1 ibuprofen would sort but because it doesn't get nailed just drags on getting worse....days nights! Am at wits end, getting one a week to fortnight. Not seen any professionals to date...mw in a couple of weeks n apparently scan early June. No one knows but me n DP so cant even get the gen from experienced friends. First timer so feel uninformed and alone.

Sorry Looby & Ray.

legscrossed - I believe you can take paracetamol but personally I go to my GP about everything when pregnant just to be on the safe side.

Legscrossed, you can take paracetamol and I find that DH massaging my back/neck really helps too as it relaxes everything. Paracetamol doesn't do anything for me expect make me sick sometimes so there's nothing I can take for headaches, poor DH is getting very strong hands at the moment!

i would prefer to avoid paracetemol, so i use a forehead stick. It is literally called 4head, in boots. You rub it on your head

Well, symptoms are back with avengence today - Felt horribly sick all morning and had a nap when DS went down for his.

Jeans feeling quite tight too. Had to go out a hole on my belt!! I showed really early with DS but this is ridiculous!!

I am having an awful dau today... took my dd out for some fresh air and threw up and she cried...... she doesnt know yet. Then i nearly passed ou trying to do the supermarket shop. felt very sorry for myself then a friend rang and said she would give anything to have morning sickness ..... she has been trying to concieve for 3 years but has lots of complications. sort of put it in perspective..... however i do feel totally rotten. have been unable to eat anything today.... am defo getting worse. have had to leave my dd eating tea alone cos i couldnt stand the smell. DP is fab but working seriously long hours to get some money together for what little one will need!!!

Sorry you're feeling so bad Sparkly, that's exactly how I was until I started on the vitamin B6, seriously, try it, it's made such a difference! Today I cooked tea and ate it, something I couldn't dream of doing a couple of weeks ago. If you're not sure about it, speak to your GP first, but it really is worth a try.

Hope everyone's feeling ok (but not too ok )

at the midwife on monday so will ask about b6. i was ill till 16 weeks with dd so am expecting this to continue..... another 6 weeks..... yikes. My wondeful mothers reaction was simply...... shouldnt you at least be trying to get to work..... you'll end up getting the sack! grrrrrr my mother does my head in. i love my job but i deal with allsorts of bodily functions and snot, sick and poo are not high on my list of favourite things. Never mind that my blood pressure is high and my job is pretty full on. sorry hormonal rant over and done with. got a whining 7 year old who is necoming more like tracy beaker by the day!!!!! My other rant is friends who are stressing me out about only going for routine screening and scans (12 and 20 weeks)..... i work with special needs and if my baby has special needs its because the fella up there knows i will cope! Anyway all i would want an extra scan for is to tell me if it will scream for 4 months like my dd ............. unfortunatel there is no scan for this yet. Sorry my rant just got longer xxx

Hello, can I join this thread?? I'm new to this, currently 7 weeks pregnant EDD based on LMP is 24th December. Not had any scans yet, got an early 9 week scan booked, going on 20th May. Very, very nervous (last pregnancy unfortunately did not work out for us) but trying to stay calm. Feel CRAP, which I am taking as a good sign! Totally exhausted, sore boobs, irritable. Also, feel really really nauseous in the evening, not in the morning, is that normal???
