I feel... Unemotional? Glad I am pregnant but don't feel elated.
I think that will change when I feel baby moving.
This pregnancy is so diff to my first. First I vomited first thing every morning without fail. This time I don't vom every day. I gag a bit. I feel like I need to all day. I have sore sore Boobs and a sore back but that's it.
It's positive that I've seen a heartbeat and I'm not cramping or bleeding but I still feel a bit blaze about it. Only natural I guess after recurrent losses. I've told a few close people but I feel like I'm not telling them the way people usually tell people cos they always ask me if I'm excited cos I don't squeal when I tell them. No. I'm not excited. I'm hopeful.
NT scan went well. We have a beautiful baby on board that looks just perfect in every single way. I cannot comprehend how happy I am right now. Yippee!!
Rach83 - I STILL cant believe its actually happening to me either, I think we'll get there
AFM - not much to tell just waiting for a few weeks to see the OB again for my usual monthly appointment and talk to him re the gestational diabetis test (I have to get it done early) and also the 20wk scan YAY! Bleed dissappeared so all good
Chepie - I can't wait to hear all about your scan . I'm doing better. I had my first throw up this morning. So feeling relieved to say the least.
Rach - I normally start throwing up around 6 1/2 weeks but I'm now 8 weeks 2 days and I've had my first toilet bowl today. I haven't had the neausea I usual have either. I've had some gagging but that was earlier on.
Saffy - Haven't heard from you in a while. Hoping all is well and your just too sick to come and up date us all. FX
DG- Wonderful news!!!! So happy for you hun! Your past the first Tri! So happy for you
Chepie- Omg sweetheart your nearly halfway! I am so happy for you Are you starting to relax or still on edge? Are you finding out bubs sex at the scan? xxxx
Mia- I am so happy for you! 16 weeks is awesome! Are you relaxing a bit?
Porsche- Hey hun Yuck for the M/s but it is reassuring so yay?! Lol, don't hit me Hope your coping ok xx
Saffy i hope your ok hun xxx
Hi to all the other girls, im sorry for no more perssies but im running out of time!
AFM- I have been hiding online and irl this week. Iv'e had bleeding twice and terrible pain nearly everyday and my m/s disappeared. However i had a scan last friday and the baby measured 6w exactly, hb 125.
Yesterday i had a follow-up scan and the baby was still alive (i was shocked) but she didn't tell me that straight away, just kept taking heaps of pictures and went to get the doctor. I knew something was wrong but they said baby is measuring 6w6d with a hb130. Then sent me home.
Not 30mins after i got home i started bleeding.....i had an external scan so i knew it wasn't trauma. I called them to see if they seen anything on the scan that could explain this and they had. There was a bleed in there.....but they DID NOT tell me. I was so so angry!
Anyway, that was my week. Just praying bub will make it.
lots of love xxxx
YAS what a hard week, I totally understand because I had bleeding too. Its always worrying but if you saw the baby is ok on the scan chances are its not coming from the little one, like mine.
Could you perhaps get a second opinion if you're not getting any answers from the dr's you are seeing?
Keep the faith
Yas- I'm so sorry to hear about the bleeding and horrible, stressful time you're having. I can't believe the doctor didn't explain to you what was going on and give you an idea of what to expect. Don't they know how important it is for your mental health! Maybe if you could find ob that starts seeing patients at 8 weeks, you could get some proper answers soon?
Sara- welcome, I hope the spotting settles down. Rach said it perfectly, "not excited but hopeful". That's still how I feel too!
DG - so thrilled about your scan results, that's fantastic! You must be so relieved. Will you still have regular scans - or see how you feel?
Rach - I hope things stay nice and calm for you I hear ya too, when I started telling people it was always - I'm pregnant.... BUT...
Mia and Chepie- great to hear everything's good with you - I hope time flies til your next scans
Porsche - ugh, the torture of analysing morning sickness. My symptoms, though minor, came and went constantly!
Saffy - thinking of you, hoping all is good
Sorry if I missed anyone! Well, the good news is the antibiotics for the UTI seem to be working and I'm not in pain anymore. But things never stay calm for long with me, ha ha! I had to make an unplanned visit to the ob yesterday because my heart kept racing at over 120 and I felt light headed and sick (Mia - I remember that happened to you, did it ever happen again?) I'd had it a few times earlier but it was happening thurs and fri and much worse. Baby is fine luckily, but I have to go for an ECG next week. The ob thinks it will just keep happening while i'm preg but hopefully less often once the infection is out of my body. Geez, I just wasn't made to breed!!!
Yas- thats a very stressful situation, its hard to keep the faith under those circumstances, but a good heartbeat and growth is on your side at this stage. Take it easy hun xxx
Mich- good the uti has gone, now more stress, how scary feeling your pulse race like that. |Hope that settles down, at least bub is cruising even though mummy isn't. Maybe its a side effect from the antibiotics?
Porsche- yay for first throw up lol, I'm yet to get to that stage, but carrying my sick bags around with me. I have been too busy to update with work and the constant nausea was makign it hard to do anything! Thanks for asking xx
Mia- glad bleed disappeared, why do you have gdm test early? Do you have family history?
DG- I'm so thrilled for you re scan, its the best news ever xx
Sara- hi I know exactly how you are feeling, its hard to feel happy when you know your hopes can be dashed in a split second. I am struggling the same to be excited about htis pregnancy, its really depressing. I hope things go well at your dating scan.4
Hi Rach and chepie xx
afm- still spotting on and off ( maybe every second or third day) but its brown and no more cramping with it so I am getting more relaxed about it. Was back at work this week which was hard but now on holidays- yay- for 2 wks. Have had fairly constant nausea for the past week, although having a break form it today yesterday. Its just hard when your nausea goes for a while as I get paranoid, but so far it has alway come back.I feel really guilty as I am eating RUBBISH, as I have been really struggling with the nausea and finding things to eat, so mostly its been spaghetti and cheese, 2 min noodles and chips- shocking!! I can't touch a vegetable except tomoatoes and lettuce.
I'm only 8 wks now, feel like there is still such a long way to go, I don't see my obs for another 2 weeks- arrgghh!
Hope everyone is coping ok.
Everything is pretty uneventful for me thank goodness.
DP is working away until a couple days before we move house so I'm pottering around filling boxes here and there and cleaning walls etc. F U N!! Not
My back has been hurting a lot this week so have only been doing short bursts so don't worry!
Mich8 - Sorry to hear re the heart palps, yes I had a bad one a few weeks ago now but thank goodness that hasnt come back. In saying that though my OB said that its quite normal to get that during pregnancy as your heart is working extra hard but its good that your Dr's are looking into it further, if anything, to reassure that all is ok
Saffy - I have to do gdm early I think due to my weight and also previously I was on Metformin (to help me conceive via IVF) so for some reason the specialist at that time told me I should have my gdm test done at 20wks rather then later. I'm not overly obese or anything like that but just slightly overweight but I think my sugar levels in a test I had awhile ago were a little high so they want to make sure I dont get diabetis whilst pregnant or if I have it to be able to look after me and baby. I'm not too worried as my sweet tooth has completely dissapeared with this little one so I havent had chocolate since I conceived but you never know. Sorry long winded answer LOL YAY to the bleed settling down for you and holidays!! WOHOO!
Rach83 - I have had back pain also but I bought one of those S shaped pillows and they actually help, you can get them at any baby shop if you want to give it a try
Hi all,
Quiet in here...
Hope you're having a great holiday Saffy and not stressing too much (as if!!!). And happy birthday for whenever it is/ was
Rach - take it easy with the house moving - you have the perfect excuse
Mia - how long til your 20 week scan now - or did you say you have an appointment before that?
Yas- thinking of you for Thursday...
I hope everyone is doing well, or at least coping!
I've been feeling kind of sick - indigestion, sweats but think it might be the antibiotics. At least I had a distraction today! DP talked me into going to one of the fetal photo places to find out the sex and it's a girl!! Knew it
Congrats Mich8 where did you go to find out the gender? I thought I had to wait until my 20wks scan but if I can do it earlier, better
As you can tell patience is not my virtue LOL
I have an OB appointment next Tues and then my 20 wks morph scan is on the 29th of June.
Have you got one before then?
Thanks Mia
Your ob should be able to tell next tuesday! But they won't always bother... I went to a place called Fetal Photos. They're in other States too I think. They give you a dvd, some photos and can tell you the sex. The lady said there's never been a case where she hasn't been able to tell! My morph scan is the 25th of June and ob the week after (if I can avoid more weird health issues until then!)

so happy for you DG!! Hopefully you can start to relax ever so slightly xoxox
YAY DG!!! Great news
. I'm doing better. I had my first throw up this morning. So feeling relieved to say the least.
Yuck for the M/s but it is reassuring so yay?! Lol, don't hit me
I can't see this bub going to term anymore
Maybe if you could find ob that starts seeing patients at 8 weeks, you could get some proper answers soon?
