oh, forgot to ask if anyone saw the program last night on BBC4 about Dad's? Might have been particularly interesting for newdad?? It mentioned they now think mens hormones change when their partner is pregnant/has a baby to help them to look after it.

sbf glad your scan went so well!

I haven't had any reason to suspect a MC but I have had one before so I am going on Friday for a private viability scan - fingers crossed I will see a nice strong heartbeat too and that will put my mind at ease!

angels glad no more bleeding

Gosh this thread takes some keeping up with. Sending [hugs] to everyone who has had bad news or is just generally feeling unwell and lots of positive thoughts that everything progresses well and as it should.

Hello everyone

Not good news from me either. A week last Fri I had some red spotting after a couple of weeks of brown spotting. To cut a long story short I had a scan at 6 weeks but they couldn't see any foetus in the gestational sac. I had a blood test and the HCG only went up by 60%. I had to wait an agonising 10 days until my next scan, which was today. Still no foetus and HCG not gone up enough, so am going to start 'the procedure' on Saturday. I have just had a feeling about this pregnancy and it seems my fears have come true and I have a blighted ovum. Nevermind, I'm going to keep on trying. Please could someone take me off the list as I don't fancy doing it myself. Hope everything goes well for you all girls, having a baby is just the most amazing experience in the world and I feel blessed to already have a beautiful, healthy daughter. All the best to you all xxx

diddygirl so sorry I had a blighted ovum 2 years ago, and went on to conceive my DD the very next cycle. I hope this happens for you too [hugs]

diddygirl so sorry to hear your news. Sending you a big hug and will hope for happier times next time....

so sorry diddygirl banana and caramel such sad news.

6 weeks today

I've had an eventful couple of days (has taken me ages to catch up on this thread). My sickness got worse and I couldn't keep anything down yesterday, I went to the GP who said I was dehydrated and admitted me to hospital, after spending the night on IV Fluids and given some anti-sickness medication I am feeling a bit better, but still took dreadful and completely washed out, no energy.

Have had to tell a few more people because of this.

Because they think my symptoms are early I have to have a internal scan at 8 weeks to check for twins!!!!

I was opposite a lady in hospital who'd had a miscarriage, I felt terrible like a real "dramaqueen".

Hope everyone else is O.K.

Nic x

Really Sorry to hear your news Diddy and others. I hope things work out for you next time around.

Exciting news about scans and heartbeats! Mine is a week today and I am getting quite nervous. What with hearing about people m/c-ing at the moment, it really makes me remember how early I am and how much can still go wrong. I am just trying to look after myself. I thought I was doing well on 6+ portions of fruit and veg a day, but 12 !!! That's one super-haelthy baby you'll be having!!! (sorry I can't remember who that was - mushy brain!)

Thank you also to the person who recommended the pregnancy day-by-day book. I really like it and DH enjoys asking what our little peawee is up to each day. It does repeat itself a bit (most annoyingly when you're looking at the close up of what you're baby is going 'today' and you realise that it's just a cropped piture of what it was doing 3 days ago!!!), but nevertheless, it's still good and has loads of info on various other bits and pieces all the way through (e.g. miscarriages yesterday), which my other book doesn't cover in as much detail.

FYI, if you're looking for cheapish bras, I found a twin pack of non wired padded bras in Debenhams the other day, which were about £13. I thought this was pretty good, especially as they are comfy too. I particularly like the fact that they are padded - I seem to have hard nipples a lot of the time (because they are sore?!?!?) and I have been really self concious wearing the thin one I bought initially.

I should really go and get on with my marking this evening - I have assessments and reports to do all in the same week - it's a joke!

Hope you're all enjoying your symptoms!!!

Hi everyone, i'd like to join. I'm going to fill one of your empty dates KnitterNotTwitter, I tested today and got two positives! According to the calculator I'm due right at the end of the month, 28th. 2011 is a leap year isn't it... This is very early days, I was due a period monday, but have been feeling really awful - really tired and have motion sickness feeling all the time. Is this normal!? Maybe it's even to early to tell..should I be off to the docs?

This is all new to me, my first pregnancy, I'll appogise in advance as I'm sure I'll ask many silly questions along the way Im not up to date with the lingo either!!

How are you all feeling today?

Hey angels1 I did start to watch it, but even though it was interesting in parts I gave up after not too long as I just didn't find it that enlightening.

Welcome Tarlia I've added you to the list...thanks for filling a hole!

Diddy sorry to hear your news.
Tabbycat - that's great news for you!

I've been a bit worried because few symptoms other than being tired, but my mum told me today she didn't have morning sickness at all either time, so think I might just be lucky.

Hi everyone!

I've done 3, yes 3 tests and all positive, I'm 38 and never been pregnant before so have no idea what to expect or how to work out dates but I guess its about 6 weeks since the start of my last period?

I'm never ever late so I had an idea, and when someone gave me a glass of wine 2 days before I did the test and I poured it away (I'm a big wine drinker) I thought Hmmmmmmm.....

Anyway I guess I'll be in Feb 2011 and part of this gang if you'll have me.

I'll ask lots of annoying questions as I haven't a clue about anything!!!!!!

Jaffa

Err, help!

So the Good lady has just had her 1st appointment with the doctor this evening, which didn't really tell very much (though from some of the earlier posts I was kinda expecting that) except his external examination made him think that she is possibly further along that we thought.

If she is 8 weeks as we thought then the midwife appointment won't be for another 4 weeks...!! And now that he's put the thought in our minds I don't know if we can wait that long.

We now have to know now - so have booked a baby bond 'early' scan for Saturday.

Any thoughts on what to expect?

Jaffa welcome. I've added you to the stats with an estimated due date of 16th of Feb... but if you find your exact date for the first day of your last period we can work it out better than that...

I meant to say to Tarlia too "the only silly questions are the ones you don't as" so ask away... Everyone will ask at leas one 'silly' question - I've done loads already and it's my #2!!

newDad - oooooh exciting stuff.... or it could be twins.... (sorry this wild speculating probably isn't helping).

Re the scan it'll probably be an 'internal' where they stick a fallic looking probe up your missus' ladybits - thought I'd get that bit out of the way first - it's a bit but they get a better view!

The scan person will have a look and see what they can see and then they'll turn round the screen and explain it. At 8 weeks you should be able to see lots - heartbeat, limb buds, head etc. Not sure if the yolk sac has gone by then? Anyone know?

You won't be able to see the sex yet though

They'll do the dating by measuring the crown of head to bum length - apparently that grows at a consistent rate for all babies in the early stages....

You'll be able to keep copies of some of the best pictures too.

Welcome Jaffa! Ask away, this is a v busy thread! Congrats to other newbies!
So sorry to hear your news caramel and diddy I hope you're back here on another thread soon x
Brilliant news smallblackflowers how lovely and reassuring to have seen that strong heart beat! I have to wait till week 10 before I hear when my first scan will be! Sooooo far away! I may well cave before then and go private!
I still feel so rough, I'm waiting and longing for the days we start to "bloom"!! My skin is bad and hair is looking lank. Added to that baby brain, bloated, big boobs, constant nausea and constant tiredness. Sorry for moaning! It's reassuring too! Hope you're all well xxx

Deliaskis I have had the exact same pain every time I sneeze or cough. It seems to shoot down both sides of my abdomen and Is quite painful but more than anything it feels like its pulling the muscles and i'm scared its going to harm something. Got a doctors appointment for friday morning so I will let him know then and see what he advises.

Im so sorry to hear of your news diddy.

I hope everyone is feeling ok. I too am feeling constant nausea and exhaustion, althought im sure getting uo at 3.30 am most mornings with bloody hayfever isn't helping!
Dr has refused to give me anything for it, so im popping into Holland adn barrett for some natural remedies!

Ok and the questions start!!

What's BFP?

I've just woke up after 9 hours sleep I used to average 5 and feel like I've had NONE!!

I've now got two 13 hour days back to back working from 9am till 10pm today I run a charity for people with learning difficulties and its very emotional and stressful and I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to keep this up if I feel like bad now.

Does the extremely sore boobs, sickness and tiredness go away a bit????????

Hi Jaffa, I'm assuming BFP is Big Fat Positive!! That's what it refers to anyway!

Your job sounds like there must be a lot of room to get quite personally involved. Be warned, you'll be extra emotional!! I find that working to the same standard feeling like this, is hard, especially with keeping it to myself. My thinking is fuzzy and I have to fight tiredness. There is some amount of fetching and carrying with what I do aswell and though I'm being sensible I can hardly expect others to do it all! Not easy I know, hope you don't find it too tough, we just have to adapt don't we?!

You will definately feel loads better by the start of the 2nd trimester at 12 weeks, I remember the difference was huge, you get your energy back! Unfortunately we are stuck with some or all of these symptoms till then!

Have a great day everyone! X

Thank you so much! Let the questions commence.. :P

I'm a bit confused since I saw the March thread begin, I'm wondering if anyone could help me out. Maybe I should be over there as I only tested yesterday!

The first day of my last period was the 25th, so how many weeks am I? Whats the rough due date? I might have done it all wrong Thanks so much in advance!

I sure hope it goes away Jaffa, I thought it was too early to feel differently, but so glad to hear I'm not alone in this.
