eliselouise! If i'd realised you didn't know where this thread was I'd have invited you when I saw your bfp! Congrats again and again and again! Great to see you in here at last! Cramps are pretty normal for where you're at - everything starts to stretch and swell and that makes things crampy. Doesn't mean you don't stress but it helps to know it's normal!
greenslw - you're itching to get that baby out aren't you?! lol Wasn't long ago you were worried it would all happen early.
eliselouise Welcome (hugs), don't worry you are not the only one freaking out! The 1st trimester sucks!
Greens, wow you are close! Could be a couple of weeks yet, tho I hope not.
Feeling pretty ill here today, which is good.... Slept a little better last night, I think I am feeling a little better about the pregnancy, just don't want to get too comfy, yk?
Morning greenslw it would be worth a try, see an chinese herbal medicine person who also does acupuncture to compliment the herbs rather than just an acupuncturist... That is if it wont be too much running around to see someone.... Although you haven't had much relief resting I'm sure your dr's orders are for the best and you should stay at home and put your feet up try not to stress yourself out, your buba will be here soon
Cherished - I had my 1st scan at 6w6d and no you can't hear the hb. But generally you can see it on u/s at around that time. Usually it can be seen externally (E's was) but you may sometimes have to have an internal scan to see it. You will only see a little bean, but the hb is quite clear. HTH and good luck!
Greenslw - Wow you are so close now! I know how you feel about those last weeks too, I could hardly drag my sorry butt up off the lounge LOL But all the very best to you hun, hope all goes well and things start to happen soon
to all the ladies in the 1st tri - hang in there! And welcome to all the new ladies. I know I should leave here LOL but I can't resist poking my head in from time to time
Well I did some visualisation last night. I also stayed up till 4.30 so I was so exhausted when I fell into bed I must have relaxed. My belly is about 1/2 as saw today as yesterday! so either the relaxing or the visualisation really really helped. I'm still going to talk to the ob about my fear but if it's 1/2 bad I can put up with it.
Hay megs mum can't beleve your bubba is 5 months already. Time flies really fast.
Hey Gals, thought I would crash this thread and say Hi! So good to see all you girls UTD and moving along nicely. Ct wait to see more birth Announcements soon.
Z-star congrats hun!
Cherished - I had my first scan at 6w6d and I SAW and HEARD the heartbeat and Ella was 1.4cm that day. I think it depends on the machine. My obstetrician had a pretty good ultrasound machine but some are not that great.
AFM - Still hasn't sunk in fully that I'm a mummy and Ella is almst 4 months old. I am absolutely loving it, even though shes not the easiest baby as had very bad reflux and is in a lot of pain from that alot of the time. When you girls finally hold your precious bundles you willknow that the pain and heartache we have all gone through to get to that point is all worth it 1000 times over!
Hi girls, just a quick post to ask if anyone has had anything similar. Every evening for the past 3 days ive had cramping in the same spot (left hand side, lower abdo) the last 2 days it was at the same time and tonight a couple of hours later. It only lasts for about 30 mins at the most but just think its quite odd. I havent had any bleeding but am just wondering if anyone else has had anything similar?? Have tried to get an appt to see my doc but shes on holidays so just have to wait it till the 27th when i have my first scan.
Eliselouise - maybe it's the site of implantation and it's burrowing in further and is causing hurts. I had that too.
Greenslw - glad the visualisation (or exhaustion) worked for you! Maybe I should try that. I made the mistake of spending a couple of weeks sleeping in an almost upright position and have caused quite a deal of damage to my lower back as a result. Unfortunately, last night, I sleep flat again (on my side of course) and have the worst night sleep since sleeping upright! no more than 2 hours in a block. I was getting up to 5 hours at a time when I was sitting.
Hey, has anyone (greenslw in particular) been having dreams about having already had the baby or about actually having it? Nearly every single night I'm having those dreams. Last night was particularly amusing, my sis (who is really grossed out by pregnancy - long and very funny story) was going to be with me through the whole labour (HA!!) and wasn't grossed out by it. But what was even more weird, was that my tummy was kind of shrink wrapped around the baby so you could see every outline and crease of the baby but not it's actual body if that makes sense. Like vacuum packing but packed in a stomach. Initially she was engaged and I was getting ready to start pushing then I felt a really sharp pain and when I looked down the baby had moved and was then breech. At that point she was looking at me and doing what babies do when they kind of poke their tongues out cos they're hungry. It was the weirdest thing because I could see all the outlines but I couldn't see the actual baby as such. I think I must have had braxton hicks at the time and that was prompting the dream.
Otherwise I'm going well. Though lots of tummy stretching pains and the odd braxton hicks games.
Erybery time flies! Ella is already nearly 4 months cool. And Megsmum getting closer and closer to 6 months old... glad to hear you're both enjoying it so much.
Cherished, tinar, twinsis, and I'm working off memory here so I can't remember even the half of you all!! Stay happy, stay safe
