Due April 2011 - 8 weeks preggers @ mo

[YogaMummy2B]

I'm 8 weeks pregnant at the moment after having had 2 miscarriages in the last year. I'm having a little brown spotting on and off after 2 - 3 weeks of constant brown spotting. Had 2 early pregnancy scans and all OK so far. Just can't help worrying. Anyone else due in April or been in a similar situation? How you feeling? I could sleep the clock round, can smell everything within 50 yards, feel like my boobs may explode any moment and cried at a story in More magazine yesterday?!! I don't even normally read More!!

Hello

New here.

I reckon I'm around 7 and a half weeks.
Congratulations! Sorry to hear about your m/cs. From what I can gather, spotting's okay, sounds like you have good strong symptoms this time, we've just got to try and relax I s'pose.

I keep forgetting I'm actually pregnant, just a bit more tired/emotional than usual! Still, better than the constant sickness that some suffer with.

I got my scan appointment today (2nd September) though not sure if I can go as I don't have my mw booking in appointment 'til 7th, so no notes.

Take it easy and try not to worry (!)

Hi ladies, I'm 7+4. Having lots of symptoms. All day nausea, boobs so sore I weep taking my bra off and unbelievable tiredness. Doing my best to deal with it all and get used to the idea that I'll have a baby next spring. I think I'd find it harder if I didn't have the symptoms though. I need that constant reassurance that there's someone cooking inside me!

I've know of a few people who had bleeding during pregnancy and healthy babies. One of my colleagues didn't know she was pregnant until she was 5 months as she had what she thought was periods throughout!

I'm 8 weeks too, I must be extra fertile in july as my DS was born in April 2008.
I've been feeling ok this week although my sleep pattens have gone to pot, i'm either falling asleep in the middle of the afternoon (thank god for CBeebies and 2 weeks holiday from work) or laying in bed at 2am wide awake. I had nausea and felt really crap right from the get go with this pregnancy whereas with my first I was at least 7 weeks before I had any noticable signs.

Hope everything goes ok Yogamummy, keep us posted.

Hi I'm 8+1 in my first pregnancy.. been a nervous week as feel like my symptoms have disappeared (I'm away on holiday this week) but been off my food again the last couple of days so who knows... nothing I can do about it being away anyway. Go home from holiday tomorrow and have my first ante-natal appointment with the docs on Tuesday. Been trying for a baby for about nine months so really pleased to see the 'pregnant' sign but it's all scary stuff!!!

Hi, Thanks for your replies. I think I must get more panicky at night time!
I have another early pregnancy scan next week - so fingers crossed.

Hello everyone,

I'm new. I'm 7 weeks pregnant - congratualtions all april due mummmys! I don't seem to have many early pregnancy symptoms. I'm a bit more tired than usual and feel bloated with occasional sore nipples and larger boobs. Should I be feeling more different?! I really want the scan to happen soon just so that I know everything is ok.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and best of luck with your pregnancies. One of my friends had some early bleeding with her pregnanacy and everything turned out fine.x

Hi I think I'm due April too, but can't be sure as I have an implant fitted (which obviously hasn't worked!) Am going to see the doc this week to try and find out how far along I am.

I too feel tired and sick all the time, regardless of whether I eat or not. I think I'm having another boy (have a DS and DD) as I've totally gone off chocolate and am normally a chocoholic, went off it when I was pg with DS too.

Good luck to everyone, YogaMummy I can understand your worry but you sound like you are doing well this time, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you .

Hi Ladycakes - welcome to the club,so to speak. With regards to symptoms everyone is different, I was pretty sure both times when I went off favourite foods. I normally have quite a sweet tooth but love sour things when pregnant. I was tired and had a bit of morning sickness. My boobs havn't changed so far and I don't remember any noticeable difference when PG with my first either, apart from later on when they were gearing up for the BF. Enjoy the luxury of being able to lay on your stomach while you can

I forgot about the sense of smell, I now know how a bloodhound feels and there's a girl at work who's perfume makes me wanna retch whenever she's within 20 feet of me. I'm sure she must think I've taken a dislike to her as I keep trying to avoid her and if I do talk to her keep it as brief as possible. Hopefully she will understand when I can break the news in a few weeks after the scan. Unfortunately I know that she's been trying for a baby for sometime without success and there are already another 2 PG ladies at work which has naturally caused her a bit of upset. I think I'm going to try and tell her one on one before I announce to the everyone else.

Folks

There's an April 2011 ante-natal thread here which could be worth looking at. Everyone on there is at a similar stage :)

Congratulations and sticky thoughts to everyone :)

Thanks SaorAlba, will head over there now

Oooooh!! I had a horrible visit to the hospital today. All is still OK with the little one - thank goodness, however the silly cow that was carrying out my scan basically could not be bothered! She scared the hell out me by not showing me the scan at all, calling in the Doc, not telling me what was going on and then giggling at the end and saying - oh silly me, I forgot to show you the heartbeat!!! THAT IS WHAT I WAS THERE FOR!!!! To make sure everything was fine! Blooming heck - I despair! As if I'm not concerned enough - the very thing I was looking forward to, to reassure me panicked me no end!
And breathe - venting over! Only another 3 and a bits weeks until I can share the good news.
Heading over to the April thread too - see you there all.
PS. Very obvious I have been giving my yoga a rest for the last 6 or 7 weeks - normally I am much more Zen!!
