murray, I think I was 7w2d at my first scan. Baby was tiny, but they did a 3D image and you could just see the beginnings of it, this little prawn of a thing. Now it's a thumb sucking bouncing machine that I love sooooo much. But I have to say, and it might not be the same for all, that it actually wasn't all that reassuring. I still had another 5 weeks to get through and I knew the heartbreak would be all the worse to lose someone we'd already "met"
On not getting excited - it's understandable. We've all had our hearts broken once before, and you don't want to risk it again. In the early weeks, I just focused on sending our little prawn lots and lots of love, because even if it were only to be around for a little while, I wanted it to be the most loved creature on this earth for that time. And every time it does something awesome, like waving on the scan, or bouncing across my belly, I feel like it's returning that love, and so the love grows.
I have got the most stunning pregnesia. The Herald Sun quiz has been driving me batty - answers that I KNOW I know are taking aaaaaages to come to me! And don't even start on where I put my keys...
Sammy - that is great news, so glad that your doctor put your mind at ease!!
Murray - I don't have a heap of symptoms either, just the sore bb's but they don't seem to be as sore as they were on the weekend, I think on sat arvo I had to take my bra off. the other one is peeing all the time but not sure if I'm doing it so that I can check that there is no discharge/bleeding and tiredness. I do have a few li cramps sometimes they are hip high and sometimes they are low pelvis/high thigh!! I have had some lower backache but not sure if it is from my personal training sess even though we have started to tone things down
possum - ur a week ahead of me...oh I thought I could think I'm not pregnant but then I don't want to think that because I did this and that lil bean didn't stick!!
Hi to everyone I missed
AFM: had a small amount of brown discharge this morn when I wiped.....maybe I should go to my drs to get my bloods done and see if he will give me a repeat hcg test in a couple of days....
Thanks girls, and yes Audax I know exactly what you mean. I LOVE the way you write about your little bubba, it is so sweet X
Iona I ended up getting 3 Betas done to reassure myself. id definately helped. I was told to relax by my doc, but the 'real' proof makes things easier! A little brown blood is fine babe, but if reassurance is what you need then go for it X
Sammy, I can't wait to see my blob!!
Possum, belly rub to you girl! X Hang in there with me!
Iona - Don't worry, everything is going to be allright and Murray is right, instead of thinking about 2000 negative, better to get Beta done, as nothing can be as assuring as INCREASING BETAS. and in such early stages, I guess any pregnant women has betas to rely on that everything is going fine. you can also ask for u/s referral thru' your GP, that's what I did. Take care dear and keep us posted.
Murray - I know what your are feeling. Hey Murray, I read, i read and i read almost everywhere about ladies getting pregnancy symptoms and i was feeling same like you as I was trying to analyse and complaining no pregnancy symptoms....Its not necessary to have pregnancy symptoms, My boobies were tender till 6 weeks and tats it and suddenly no tenderness, i freaked out, cried and started collecting all negatives thoughts, went to doctor, DH took leave to be with me and Doctor said- its allright to have no symptoms.
May be your body is preparing gradually and slowely that you are not able to feel the difference and Pregnancy is not about throwing-up. If you are feeling fine thats allright, she gave me u/s referral and I saw the bub and good heartbeat. I cried with joy and now I have decided to focus on eating healthy and thinking all the good things and enjoying the JOYS OF MOTHERHOOD - this Journey.
Murray - cramping, anxiety, twinges are all your pregnancy symptoms.
Take care
Ric
Heya lovelies! This is just a quick message before I begin to catch up -
MURRAYCOD - I am so happy for you..... can't wait for that scan result next week..... and I agree with the girls, it's so hard to determine gestational age, so keep the faith.
IONNA - welcome to you beautiful girl. I know you're scared, but like Audax said, in essence, believe. It is scary and frightening and the fear can be crippling, but we're all here to help you through those times, and to share the exciting journey. Praying for a sticky bub for you too.
I'll be back when I've caught up. I have a head cold and am feeling pretty miserable. Just hoping that if I rest up and take care it won't be too bad or linger too long. Apart from that I am pretty excited to be at 26 weeks. I have steroid injections tomorrow and friday to help the baby's lungs develop, just in case bubs decides to come early...... it's not a guarantee, I know that, but it feels good to have gotten this far and at least be able to do something. Belly rubs.
