Sorry girls - only just got back. As I said it was just a scan by the fertility specialist, so only basic... It's looking good at the moment, it kept turning away from the ultra sound "wand", but measured about 6 weeks 6 days to 7 weeks 1 day, and I think I should be about 7 weeks 2 days, so really happy. (with mm/c bub measured 2 weeks behind). There is a heartbeat as well, but don't know how fast as ultrasound machine doesn't calculate that... I'm relieved, but at the same time know that the danger isn't over yet... I bought myself a pregnancy magazine and am itching to continue my craft for the baby room Will post this now quickly and will try and do some more persies next time
Damprye, sorry to hear you're ms is so bad..can you take maxalon?
Cheshire, hows you're ms going?
VV, i hope everything goes well with you're scan
Greenslw -how are you?
Me4ever....SO HAPPY for you about you're scan, thats fantastic..
Hello everyone else..
ME...well i can say i am not one of these pregnant woman that glow ..neither am i one of these positive ones either lol.....I must say my ms has kicked in like nothing before. Last two days i havent been able to get out of bed. no actual vomitts...but extremely sick and dry reaching, dizzy and fuzzy, headaches and just feel like complete crap....i was worried about work this morning but i had a dry biscuit as soon as i got up..and i bought some ginger beer on the way to work. Im at least feeling a touch better than yesterday..but i must admitt i am feeling slightly sorry for myself..think its the hormones...im not loving this part of the pregnancy...i appreciate it but defiantly not loving it
Mel I think being pg gives you a little leeway for winging go for it.
Damprye oh dear how long did it las with DS?
Me4 so happy scan went well that is a big milestone.
Well all my list is done and daytime tv is great. Phoned the hosp today as I wanted to go throgh the midwife practice, seams my bmi is just under so I'm going to have to keep my weight down. With DS I lost weight but not sure how things will go this time. Still thinking of private but don't think I can spend the $$$ this time. Last time my ob was rude and the hosp I was at wasn't great either and now it's even more $$$$$ funny how the guilts are ever present.
Greenslw - Did you go for another blood test today? Or was last weeks the last one? Does your clinic do a scan at about 7 weeks, like mine? Or will you have to book in for a dating/viability scan yourself? Fingers crossed you won't gain too much, or even lose some weight! Oh yeah, forgot to tell you, as you asked before, FS told me to continue the 1 a day pessary till 12 weeks, then I have to wean off them. Can't wait! Same thing for the metformin tablets I take.
Damprye - you crack me up! I read my husband what you said and he thought it was hilarious! I might consider changing it... I tried so many usernames when I joined bellybelly and this was about the only name that was available I hope you can take something for your ms and that it will ease soon! How'd you go cleaning the walls? I hope it wasn't more vomit inducing??? What did you end up using and did it work? Might be handy to know for future reference?
Melster - I'm glad you managed to battle through the crappy feeling this morning. I hope the rest of your day went better for you! Does it help for you if you eat little bits during the day to feel better? And even possibly a snack of biscuits/crackers during the night?
VintageV - Have you started using maternity bras yet? I'm swearing by them now. They're so much more comfortable than my usual underwire bras... Not long before your scan! It will be time for it before you know it! I know the exhaustion feeling, am feeling sorry for you mums with other 'bubs', as I can imagine you can't just go for a sleep...
Calluna - did you symptoms come back today?
Cheshire - How are you today? Hope the dry retching has stopped - hugs for you!
AFM - I'm really itching to start wearing my maternity clothes that I bought last time, but hardly needed, but I think my bloat is not quite big enough . Definitely loving my new maternity bras! I'm counting down to my first important visit to the obstetrician, he should probably do another scan. Although he does a on belly one and I've got a retroverted uterus, so bub might not be very visible :$ We will see. Still no nausea, as long as I eat regularly. Have been feeling a bit off during the night and I struggle to find a good position to sleep in, rolling over and over and over. Toilet stops galore as well. I'm considering swapping sides with my husband as he's closer to the loo Hope you girls are holding up alright! hugs for you all!
Me4- yeah, I had a vom last night and this morning. Tiredness is back and Boobs are tender again, but havent been all that sore to begin with this time. Maybe because they are already like socks with handfuls of pudding in them. Not much stretching/ growing needs to happen. Lol they are looking more shapely though. Too bad its temporary. Lol!
Tablets about to go flat, Ill be back later for persies.
Calluna- Lol @ sock boobs. Sad thing is I feel similar...also glad for the temporary firmness.
Me4- I actually have a very strong stomach w/out the ms so could do it Whitening toothpaste worked wonderfully, I recommend.
Greenslw- Last time I vomited with DS2 was a half hour before his birth.
Melster- I'm on the ondansetron wafers (aka zofran....aka lifesaver) and they do help a bit. Maxilon sucks for me (unless its the injection) as I generally vomit before it has a chance to be absorbed, not that it seems to do anything. The wafers are the best for me but so pricey.
Sorry for being very 'me' brain isn't doing so well and just answering questions.
