[ric]

Hi Angelfish - Just read you post. Dear dont worry, think about positive things. Don't be worried or scared, My Morning sickness- what little bit i had in first few weeks, eased-up by the end of 7th week and i went crazy as well, but it was all good, then i went for my u/s at 8 weeks and saw the bub and HB...I did mentioned this to my GP, she just said, its allright usually m/s start to ease-out for alot of people by 8-9th week, if you dont have any symptoms, its doesnt mean that something is wrong - just feel good and enjoy the moment.
why dont you ask your GP or Doc to refer your for another u/s before end of month, just for your peace of mind. I am sure she will refer you.
Take care and alots of hugs and babydust sending your way.
Ric

Hi everyone!

Dory: Was checking up on you on the other thread, glad everything was ok with your ob appointment! So happy your over 28 weeks!

Angelfish: Ahh the MS dilemma! At about 8-9 weeks for me it stopped being day and night constant and settled into ok in the mornings and hell in the afternoon/evenings, with a couple of good days a weekd. The first morning I woke up and felt ok, I got out of bed and was smiley and bouncy, then realised I didn't feel sick and cried the rest of the morning until I threw up in the afternoon. My doc also said lots of ppl start to lose it 8-9 weeks.

Audax: Yay your still around! Missed you honey, we'll be here when you feel up to it, give that belly some love!

SammyP: I hope the 2 weeks go quick, so glad everythings going well, belly rubs!

Ashie: Awesome numbers, your doing really well!

Timeforafamily: Take deep breaths, more than likely that everything will be ok, something that got me through some early bleeding was knowing that most pregnancies are totally fine, it can be hard to believe, but the odds are your bringing this bubba home.

AFM, everythings going well - I have a distinct little bump now! DH, bless his heart, was patting it and then proudly said ''I did that, with my penis.'' Well done dear, well done. I'm waiting for confirmation of a 16 weeks Ob appointment, and I'm thinking of maybe looking into getting a doula. MS has flared up for a few days, which was really reassuring, but I'm more than happy for it to start to leave on a more permanent basis! I have felt a bit more hungry lately though, wanting to eat food cos it's yummy and not just as a way of avoiding nausea. Is anyone else getting, or remember getting stretching/crampy feelings around this time? I figure it's just cos Tiger's growing, but, still....

Hope everyone is doing well, love!

Kit - i had that stretchy cramping pain too around 11-12 weeks with my first pregnancy. My doctor said it was just all the ligaments stretching and was quite common and nothing to worry about. I mainly got it if i sneezed, coughed or moved too quickly. It only lasted about a week.

I'm and trying to count down the days until my next scan - only 7 days to go. I am really opening they can see a little heart beat this time.

Thinking of you all.

Kit i had those stretching pains too early on in my pregnancy, probably was around about the stage your at now. Of course i freaked out and thought the worst but my dr reassured me that it was very normal and it was just bubs growing and stretching my tummy. at your DH's comment, it sounds similar to something my DP would say, they think they are so clever :LOL:
Hoping not long to go, hopefully the next 7 days will fly by and you get to see a nice strong heartbeat.
Ashie YUK to the ms, hopefully it doesnt hang around for too long for you. Good luck with your scan in a couple of days
Hello to everyone else i have missed.
Sorry i dont get in all that often to post, im lurking every day and following whats going on but generally just dont have the time or the energy to post. Hopefully ill be able to a bit more when my maternity leave starts in 2 1/2 weeks. Counting down, cant wait

Elise - wow - can't believe your mat leave is almost here! You will be so relieved. Looking forward to seeing you in here more often.

Kit - I had aching hips and knees from about 7/8 weeks and stretchy/crampy feelings from about the same time, but usually if I moved too quickly. I still get all of them. Like Elise and others have said, it's normal and a part of the process. It's primarily the relaxin hormone loosening up those tendons and ligaments. My Obs said it starts to have effect from 6 weeks but most people can't feel them then. In fact I had an episode that so was bad the other day, I had to pant my way through it. It didn't last long and it came on when I tried to move too quickly.

Also I am laughing at your DH - hilarious. Penis' rule the world apparently! The other thing he can be proud of is it's his sperm that decide the gender of the baby! How is it that they get the say in that? And how weird is it that there are, in really simple language, girl and boy sperm.

Good luck to those who are having scans coming up - how exciting and anxiety provoking at the same time. Hopefully the M/S passes soon for those who are suffering. it's not pleasant. Mine eased at 11 weeks, but some mild nausea has returned. But it's only mild. I have had my 1 hour glucose tolerance test and the results were slightly elevated so its off for the 2 hour fasting and special diet test for me next week. I hate waiting in the waiting room... wonder if I'll get a leave pass?

The baby cat goes in for his treatment next friday and I will be without him for 3 weeks. I am not looking forward to it and will be a mess when I drop him off. But hopefully the 3 weeks will be over before I know it and he'll be home and snuggling with me again.

All good with my scare earlier this week, not amniotic fluid! Phew. My Obs as usual was wonderfully understanding and compassionate and non judgmental and encouraged me to call if ANYTHING worried me.

Take care and belly rubs too all. Sorry for the lack of persies. Just feeling a bit quiet.
