I need to be in here.....
I am quitely ****ting myself! I have been fine until this morning and now I am starting to panic... *breath in, breath out*
I got up to the loo this morning and I had a little bit of air in my vagina (Sorry tmi) that usually happens when AF shows up and there was heaps of CM when I wiped.... I know this is not somehting usual ppl panic about, so I know I HAVE to be in here.
The increase in CM is usually a good sign - it means your estrogen levels are rising, as they do with PG. I noticed in my recent PG that I also got a bit windy - not from the "usual" spot - and this was on the days when I had more CM.
I'll keep my , but I am pretty optimistic for you.
How far along are you - have you had any scans yet?
Tanya - I totally understand your worrying - and I am truly sorry for your losses. I was the same with DS (deliriously naive with DD, as she was my first PG). This thread was an absolute Godsend for me and I was an ultra-high maitenance patient for my poor OB.
It's early days, but every day is a step in the right direction.
Tanya! congrats!! I got lots of cm when I fell pregnant too so sounds pretty darn promising for you!! Rest, relax (hehe) and I pray all goes well for you this time! xox
Tanya, I reckon that's the absolute worst thing about being able to find out so soon that you're pregnant. It's also the worst thing about the actual TTC process, especially if you've mc in the past as we all have in here. My first I wasn't trying to fall (had been told I was infertile would you believe!) so didn't know til I was around 6-7 weeks and losing it never entered my mind as, of course, it would never happen to me! Second time around we'd decided we'd have another 'some time' but weren't actively trying. This time, tried for quite a while and with 2 mc in the mix, knowing for a week before an actual BFP absolutely killed me, meant I knew from around 3 weeks. I could feel it burrowing in and starting to grow and was terrified that I'd lose another. Getting the BFP helped a little but I was still afraid until I saw that first ultrasound at 11 weeks. I think that in addition to having that TWW diary of how to pass the time, BB should start up a first trimester diary of how to pass the time.
Wish there was more that could be said...
Off to visit my ob now. Need to get her advice on my serious lack of appetite. Anyone else lose theirs? I have to force myself to eat and generally only having one meal per day with an occasional snack thrown in during the evening. (I guess on the upside - have to find one - yesterday I had to work and I put on a pair of trousers that used to fit me prior to being preg... they fitted still... with a HUGE preg belly they still fitted!!)
Tanya call your ob hun, book an appointment. Keep yourself sane hun but get it checked out. Congrats about your pg, and I did have heaps of mc in my first trimester but I also spent alot of time checking at the OB which helped me so much hang in there.
Smallfry I only want chocolate and sweet food. Had a nice marocan lunch today that went in the loo! I think it's something to do with not having as much room in my body. Let me know what ob says.
ATM HOT. SA is hot again and I have so many outdoor Work BBQ's I have to go too. One tomorrow 39C and one Tuesday 35C I'll try and stay in the shade but it's hard when you're the boss and I have to make a speach! ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Tanya, I agree with greenslw, good idea to go check with the ob/doc/midwife to put your mind at ease.
ugh Greenslw that sounds awful, make a lackey hold an umbrella over your head while you're making your speeches.
I hear ou on the chocolate and sweet food, though it's generally choc milk and fruit... you're not having a girl are you?
Haven't been gaining much weight to date, 2kg from beginning til now. When I mentioned I'm having trouble with appetite she wasn't all that concerned but suggested having sustogen drinks so that I'm getting something in me at least. Also said that just eating fruit would be fine - that's mainly what I've been eating so she was happy with that.
The bad news from today is that the baby is breech. First time she's been breech and first time I've had a baby breech at any point of pregnancy so I'm a bit worried now! Doc says that if she hasn't turned in 6 weeks then I'll get sent down to a clinic down the road from me where they will try to turn the baby from the outside. Failing that... well, I don't want to think about that yet! I'm sure that she'll turn herself in the next 6 weeks, she is an incredibly active baby after all!
Thanx all... I couldn't sleep last night. Not making any appointments with CP's just yet.
Went to see green day yesterday (2.5hr drive to get there) and went to pull into the park only to be told Billy joe has food poisoning and the show is canceled.... so fingers crossed they can play tonight.. I am exhausted thinking about it!!
When did your m/s really start? I have a tiny bit of nausea, but it's not getting any worse, and it's adding to my paranoia.
SFP, bub has heaps of time to turn I had a friend who recently had a breech baby at 40 weeks her m/w (independent) is happy to assist breech birth and when she went into labour that's what they were expecting... but guess what? Bub was born HEAD first!! She thinks he turned during labour

Tanya - thank you! I so seriously needed to hear that!!! I've been so paranoid since she told me yesterday. M/S for me started around 5-6 weeks with all three viable pregs. The first was severe and the subsequent two have been bad nausea but very little follow through. Lasted for ages though.
I heard about greenday being cancelld. Sucks that you didn't know til you got there. I think they cancelled at around 4:30 or something in the afternoon. Pretty short notice if you ask me! I hope it goes ahead this evening, would be great fun for you!
Hi All. Sorry I've been MIA for awhile. I'm feeling too sick most days to get on the computer and then when I do come on I just feel like reading and not posting. We're going away this Friday and I'm not looking forward to the plane ride but I am looking forward to having family feed and take care of me for awhile. I booked my U/S for the day after we come home so I have something to look forward to after our holiday is over.
Smallfry - I'm on Diclectin which helps me get through the day but eating is such a chore and I'm so unbelievably tired. I might see if I can find the ginger M/S tabs. I can't take my multi-vitamin as they won't stay down so I'm just taking Folic acid, I have B vitamins I should take those too and see if they help.
Tanya - I'm at 8 weeks and still have lots of excess CM. It's actually reassuring for me as I don't normally get it like this. Also with my DS I didn't get any nausea at all until 6 weeks, and with this PG I had mild nausea from a few DPO until about 5 weeks when it hit full force. Be thankfull you still feel ok, it will get worse LOL
Hi to everyone else! Glad to hear everything is going well with your pregnancies.
Hi all. Can I pop in here? I've just gotten pregnant again after a loss in July. Still very early days, but I'm trying to stay positive. We lost the last one at 10wks. Hopefully this one sticks. EDD is 27 Aug 2010. I'm planning a homebirth (all going well) and have the first midwife appointment 3 Jan.
Hope you're all well
btw - smallfry, my brother was breech but after a long labour, turned at the last minute.
Tashybabe, congratulations!!! That's great news! how far along are you? Must only be a few weeks yet. Your little one is due very close to two of my special people's birthdays - my gorgeous step mum and one of my nephew's. I pray that all goes well for you this time around and I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. It's never easy.
And thank you for the comforting news about breech. I'm quite sure she'll spin around but I guess that it's just one of those things where you feel everything has been going so well that you sort of believe that something has to go wrong. An incredibly foolish attitude.
All the best with your pregnancy and I hope you start to get some strong symptoms very soon!
twinsis - good luck with the morning sickness. I feel for you and hope that you're able to find something that helps with the yucky stuff. On the up side, it makes things feel so much more definite doesn't it?!! take care xox
smallfry - I'm still only 3wk6d, so still really early. So far my symptoms include heartburn and fatigue. It's different to last time, which hopefully is a good thing
Hi, can I join in. I had a blighted ovum which passed in October. I'm now 5.5wks pregnant again. I have a scan booked for the 29th which will hopefully put my mind at ease. I am so pretrofied that I am going to have another BO. I just hope I see a a little Jellybean with a beating heart.I found out at 4 weeks so I have been stressing since then. My hcg levels very early on in the piece were 7 and then 33 just 3 days later. My Doctor said this was normal. I've never monitored Hcg but that sounded low to me and freaked me out. I have spoken to other ladies and they say its fine to have those levels. I have a referral sitting there for another BT if I like, but I'm scared that if I do have it done and my levels are low I will just break down. Some days I have been distracted and seem to GWTF but others like today I become obsessed and google everything I possibly can to try and make myself feel better....I think I have realised it does not work!In some cases it makes me feel worse when I read some peoples stories. I don't know how I am going to last until the 29th- I feel like throwing up when I think about it because it will be D day. Sorry for having such a massive rant. I will read up on your current posts and hopefully get to know some of you
Indi - sorry for you previous loss. I can understand you stressing. Re: hcg levels, it's the doubling time that counts. Go to betabase.info and enter that data there. Your doubling time is about 32 hours, which is very good for early on.
Thanks Tash, I have already stalked the Betabase. I guess I will just have to wait until the 29th. I do feel much better after writting down all my worries!
