LondonMiss: Relax hun it's ok, I had the exact same thing, the pain when I sneezed and also sometimes when I stood up too quickly I'd double over. I asked my Ob about it she said it was alright, it's just the ligaments around the uterus stretching as you grow and sometimes these sudden movements make them pull sharply. ( and I just realised I've missed a whole lot of posts and other people have told you the same thing, sorry)
Good that you now have one less thing to worry about!
As for when to tell, well my parents, DH's 2 sons and a few close friends who were supporting us through the IVF process were told the day we found out. For everyone else we were definitely waiting til 12week mark but then I had to have a scan at 10 weeks and when we got the all clear there that's when we made the big Facebook announcement etc. Mind you, a few of the first lot of people who were told did slip up a little becasue they were so excited for us (actually the entire busload from our gym going to the city 2 surf found out at 5 weeks LOL)
Airline: Good luck today!!! That first scan is awesome, I'm not someone who gets overly emotional at things (well at least not before I was pg anyway) but I teared up a little when we saw that first heartbeat! Hope it's awesome for you!
Grub: How much of a shocker was yesterday? It wasn't too bad in the morning but around lunchtime I went for a nap and an hour or so later woke up in a bucketload of sweat and spent the rest of the afternoon whaling it in the pool! Loving the cool change this morning though! Can't believe it's so close to your DH getting home
to everyone else!
AFM: I had a huge fright on Sat night, I almost choked on a piece of homemade garlic pizza. And I'm not talking cough/splutter type I'm talking full-on, couldn't breathe DH having to give me first aid to try & dislodge it from the top of my windpipe. It was horrible, scariest thing that has ever happened to me. I couldn't breathe or swallow or talk and DH was practicing his golf swing so was totally oblivious and I had to bash on the wall and wave madly to get his attention. It took what felt like ages but eventually we got it out, which then made me sick (sorry ) and I still have a bit of a sore throat but all good now. But it's funny, the whole time all I could think about was the baby and that I didn't want it to die yet. It's funny what goes through your mind at these times.
Anyway that's all my excitement for the time being (and more than enough I reckon LOL) other than that just been so very hot and loving that our pool is finally fixed!
And I've just realised I'm running late so had better run! Hope you all have a good day and this heat is easing up for some of you! Look forward to hearing from you later on airline!
Well not going to be the post I'd so hoped for. My first issue which DH and I joked about initially but then I was seriously not laughing half an hour later was that I am a regular pee-er. I pee A LOT!. It is a joke amongst friends, bladder size of walnut etc etc. However, having drunk my litre between 7 and 7.30 am... by 8 when we arrived (half hour early) I was very uncomfortable, which became painful. They said I could pee 1cup or count to 5. Well that would alleviate it for 5 minutes or so. Ended up doing it 4 times, but was bladder was clearly still very full.
Anyway, I could tell straight away there was no heartbeat and the sonographer didn't say anything. She asked me to empty my bladder and then did an internal. More measurements and then she talked us through it. Neither of us said a word, just stared at the screen, it was horrible and I could feel myself tearing up but kept it together.
Now according to doc and ourselves (not the ticker) I'm 7 weeks tomorrow. According to what she saw on the scan I'm only 5 weeks and 4 days. She said she wouldn't expect to see a heartbeat at that stage. So I have to see FS on Wednesday, another blood test and then another scan in 10-14 days. We both felt flat on way home, I was wrapped up in my own thoughts as was DH and he dropped me home, had a hug and went to work.
Having been awake since 5 I just went back to bed for hour or so, but funnily enough didn't sleep. Sorry for mammoth 'me' post but there we have it.
Oh airline - what a crushing disappointment. Been there, not a t-shirt I wanted to get. I cried my eyes out all over the sonographer, doctor that got called in, my FS who made the initial judgement, the lady at reception and so on.....
Very very very best wishes for the next week. Praying for you that it is just a little bit behind and will catch up plenty by the next visit. I'll be thinking of you.
airline, honey, i can't even begin to imagine how you are feeling atm love but please know i'm sending you lots of support and hugs and positive vibes. I really hope it is simply a case of wrong dates and you get some better news soon. Be kind to yourself and your DH ...
