November 2020 Babies?

[Elley2912]

Anyone?

Thank you for all the replies about symptoms coming & going just looking forward to early scan in just under 2 weeks xx

Congrats to the new BFPs! Xx

@Elley2912 that seems very late, my midwife said it needs to be between 8.5 weeks and 11 weeks, I would ring and query it with the community midwives as they tried giving me one when I would of only been 7 weeks and the midwife clearly told them it needed to be between those times so I don't think the people who book them always know

@Elley2912 it does sound a bit late, however booking is just 101 questions plus a blood/urine test, and that's it unless it's a high risk pregnancy/there are problems. Give them a call to make sure there is no oversight with booking.

@Elley2912 booking appointment should be separate to your scan as far as I'm aware... between 8-10 weeks I think. Then they usually give you your 12 week scan then or send it out to you on that date.

Is anyone else stressing about Coronavirus?

I have 2 dcs; one is 6 at primary school and one at preschool - can't help but thinking all the bugs they're bringing home with them. 😬

Well, I had an horrific night's sleep.

Went over fine, then woke at 3 and couldn't get back over until about 5. Then woke at 5.30 to rain hammering against the window. Am shattered, which is obviously making the morning sickness worse.

And crazy dreams whilst I am asleep...

Anyway, rant over. How's everyone else doing this morning?

@Tonicandgin Stress is probably more harmful in my opinion. Unless you have underlying health conditions, it is likely that you would have mild symptoms if any. And there is no evidence yet that the virus harms unborn babies. Take precautions but try not to worry. Mumsnet is a horrible place at the moment for scaremongering and misinformation - I am sticking to this thread for my own mental health.

I have to spend 1.5 hours on the London Underground every working day and usually wash hands when I get to home/work anyway but am being more thorough when I do so.

Anyone had any medication for morning sickness? Thinking of going to docs tomorrow to get something as I’ve literally not been able to do anything (and I mean anything) for days. Every time I sit up I feel sick and have been sick quite a bit over last 2 days

@burntpinky I’m not at that stage yet but getting there, this weekend has been terrible for it. Constantly feeling sick and was sick after shower yesterday. Let me know how you get on, hope you feel better soon x

@JJxo thank you and hope you feel better soon too.

I can’t remember if I was as bad with my first but this is awful. Am meant to be WFH this week but there’s no way I can work if I feel like this

@Tonicandgin I’m also a bit worried. I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old so they also bring home all the germs. I’ve woken up with a cold despite obsessive hand washing and hand gels. Still I’m more dreading being stuck indoors with them for weeks on end when I can’t have wine
Having another wobble about lack of strong symptoms this morning. I just don’t feel as bad as I did with my dds.
Hope you feel better soon @burntpinky.

Hi Ladies! Can I join please. Found out last week I'm pregnant. EDD is 18th November. Had an early miscarriage on 02/02/20. So very nervous now but also so excited!!!

@SJ1989 really? My appt is supposed to be when I’m 7 +5, but I’m rearranging as it’s not a convenient day for me, plus I’m in no rush. Just thought it had to be anytime before 10 weeks. They’ve also sent me an appt already for when I’m 13 weeks which I assume is my scan.

@burntpinky I've been medicated before for hyperemesis. Worth an ask but they often aren't very sympathetic unless you are vomiting so much you can't keep things down. Or can't eat or drink all.
But defo ask and weigh up the benefit / risk of meds.
B6 is also worth taking
But it's awful being incapacitated by nausea big hugs
I'm Keeping an eye on mine, so far I am ok mid morning, can't move mid afternoon, sick around 4 and then ok again in the evening. I can work with that at the moment, just!

@burntpinky that sounds rough. Let us know what the GP says! I haven’t vomited just yet, but the queasiness and retching is getting worse. My morning sickness lasted until I was over 4 months last time...

Due November 5th..regarding all goes well as had a miscarriage in November. Had a anembryonic pregnancy 😕

@Sakura54 yea I didnt know, I think its to do with some of the tests they do for chromosomal defects as they use a combination of the blood tests taken at booking in and the scan to balance chances of baby having a defect

@burntpinky please let us know what meds they recommend. I’ll definitely need to look into them myself.

@overandoverafail - congratulations on your bfp and welcome. :-)

@Tonicandgin - I’m not freaking out about the Coronavirus itself; I’m mostly nervous about the risk of overflooding in hospitals and how that will impact my ability to get adequate care when it’s time for my delivery. Obvi we’re all not due until the fall and this could hopefully be long gone by then. But the stories coming out of Italy have been freaking me out. Let’s just hope it’s contained soon. 🤞🏾

My worry is that Coronavirus causes fever and fever can be very dangerous in the first trimester. Apparently the experts think the peak will be in 5-6 weeks time so hopefully we’ll all be nearly through the first trimester by then - just need to stay healthy til then!

Nausea really kicked in for me yesterday and today which is hugely reassuring. I didn’t have it at all with my son. Have also been waking up at 5am and not able to get back to sleep!

Thanks for the sympathetic ear ladies! Will let you know what they say. Hoping I get a sympathetic doctor as think tomorrow will be very much take what I can get. I’d rather have the meds than just a sick note as literally can’t do anything. Have an 18 month old and feel so awful i can’t play with him or read to him

Yes! I feel like I’m neglecting my toddler too. So I’ve been to stay at my family’s home plus in-laws recently, because I can barely look after myself atm, let alone him lol. Let’s hope these months go quickly for us all.

Hi,

I'm new to mumsnet and have just found this thread. I tested positive on Wednesday, it was the result of a 5-day transfer from our first IVF cycle. We have been TTC for 6 years so still can't really believe it has happened. I know there is an increased risk of miscarriage with IVF so I pray everything is ok, I have my first ultrasound at my fertility clinic on 31 March.

Well done to everyone else.

I am just going to join in with the moaning about MS. I feel rotten. This is my second pregnancy, and I am feeling sick every minute of every day. I havent actually vomited yet. On my DD it went on til week 13. I am counting down the days (I have about 45 days left). I am trying to keep going as I have a 15 month old and i am a teacher, but I had to run to my MIL (who I dont ever ask for any help from, EVER) yesterday just so she could entertain my DD as DH is away for the weekend (drinking with mates. Lucky him ). My MIL took pity on me thankfully (she knows I am pregnant). I have no idea how I am going to survive the next 7 weeks .

Also, I am a little nervous about coronavirus. I know it doesnt harm babies, but just the thought of getting it from the kids in the school, not being able to take anything to ease symptoms, and also having MS, which trying to manage DD, terrifies me. I have 0 help day to day. Anyone else just not want to go to work?

@SqidgeBum - yes just want to cut self off from everyone. Luckily I can WFH but my toddler still needs to go to MIL who takes him out and about/doesn’t take it all seriously so think I’m likely to get it at some point. Just hoping if I do it’s not in the first trimester
