OK, so I may have done a few (4 OK) more tests and the line is getting darker thank goodness.
The only disturbing thing is this dull ache I have in my abdomen. It isn't really painful, more uncomfortable. You'd think after 6 pregnancies that nothing would be new, but I must say, this has never happened before. I am VERY concerned and keep expecting to find blood when I go to the toilet, but as of yet, none. I was going to try and hold off going to the Doctor for as long as possible, telling myself that if something was going to go wrong, there was plenty of time for it to happen before I actually acknowledged the existence of this baby. I think I am telling myself that it will just be a period if/ when it happens, but after I go to the doctor I know that any bleeding will be a miscarriage. So off to doc tomorrow to see about the discomfort and a referral to my ob.
I am 4 weeks 1 day. Would anything show up on a scan yet? Not necessarily wanting to see a HB, but knowing something was actually growing in there would be a relief (had a blighted ovum last time and go to 9 weeks before anyone realised there was a sac, placenta, and symptoms but no baby!)
Hope everyone else is hangin in there. Last pregnancy the ms was so bad I went and got a prescritpion for some maxolon to get me through. Only took it a couple of times before we mc'ed but it seemed to do the trick if you're really desperate.
Evening all hope everyone is doing well.
Sorry i dont get on very often with personals but just a bit too busy at the moment. Kirsten i know exactly what you mean about the dull ache in the abdomen, ive had the same thing since about 3 weeks. Feels kinda like period pain and i keep thinking theres going to be bleeding when i go to the loo too. But ive got to 9 1/2 weeks and had a scan last week and everything is fine, good size healthy heartbeat so im assuming its just quite normal. As for seeing anything on a scan i think you would be a ble to see the sac and the foetus in it but no heartbeat visible until about 6w5d i think. Good luck at the docs tomoro, will be thinking of you Tanya everything is giving me indigestion at the moment too, never had it before and now its just terrible. Hope you start to feel better soon, not long now till were in the 2nd trimester WOO HOO Smallfry the feast sounds very yummy. Ive found im hungry all the time but i start to eat and then im full after not much at all, very frustrating. Greenslaw not long now, how exciting. Thats great about DH being able to have more daddy time, hopefully you can sort something out with your work to so you can get more mummy time also. Cherished YAY to being all lovey dovey, i wish i could be i just dont want to be touched at the moment, im so grumpy and tired and its really annoying i feel sorry for DP having to put up with it. Hopefully it will change in the 2nd trimester and ill be feeling lovey dovey too Karen van good to hear that everything is going well with your little one, and WOW what a huge post, where do you find the time Milly hope your feeling a little better today it is extremely hard to enjoy being pg after what we have been through but we just have to try and stay as positive as possible and hope for the best. Have you had any scans yet or seen the hb? I had my first scan last week and since then i am feeling a lot better and a lot more positive. Hope you can start to enjoy it soon too
goodness me...I have to stop reading posts every day without replying - there is so much to catch up on.
Cherished - I still get a kick out of seeing your name in here...same way I feel bout any of my ttc friends
Elise - my DH was lucky to touch me in the first trimester lol...then again, he was nervous as well in case nookie would hurt bub lol. Second trimester has been better but its rare that I initiate anything more than sleep!
Kirsten - They are your stretching pains get used to them! They are here to stay till your bubba joins you for cuddles. Unfortunately I reckon they get worse...I'm at my parents and mum keeps asking if I'm ok, apparently I'm grimacing lol. From my knowledge and experience your to early to see anything but a sac and maybe the start of the foetal pole, I've had HB from 5wk3 days but that was with an internal scan - You'll be fine
Milly - I know what its like, so hard sometimes to stay positive and - annoyingly - so many early preg symptoms match AF (like the pains!) but just try to take a breath and enjoy this bub
Tanya - my hair is 3/4 way down my back - i don't think I could bear to cut it
Greens - that is great news bout your DH and work! My DH is his own boss which means - if he doesn't go to work we have no money
Smallfry - I miss being able to eat! I just don't seem to have the room anymore...sob
Hello to all the other ladies as i am sure I have missed some of you.
AFM: I am just exhausted which is why I rarely post. Whoever said you have so much more energy in the 2nd tri LIED!!! well, ok, I do have more than the 1st tri but by 3pm at work I am starting to struggle.
My job is being adverstised for the time I am away and I have to apply! I am in qld gov and am only a temporary employee - if I apply and get it they appoint me permanently and someone else temporarily (so confusing sometimes!)
25wks - where has the time gone.
A little over a week ago I had nothing more than a few outfits I'd been given - then a shopping monster overtook me and I now have bassinet, pram, clothes, nappies, bottles, breast pump, nappy pails, change table/bath, bibs and some other stuff! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN
When I was pregnant with the 3 that stuck, I had wicked heart burn. Even a glass of water was enough to set it off sometimes!
So to all of you soon to be mums who are struggling with heartburn, here is my secret. Zantac. Extra strength. Lasts 24 hours. My ob recommended it and said it was fine to take at any time of the pregnancy. You can get it in the supermarket and it is fantastic. I tried the Rennies etc, but they didn't even get close to fixing it. Check with your Ob though as they never seem to be able to agree on anything sometimes!
I am soooooo tired ATM though. Every afternoon about 1:30 or so I just want to find a nice quiet corner and curl up and go to sleep. With a 6, 4 and almost 2 year old, this NEVER happens. I did fall asleep on the couch watching Dr Phil the other day though. Felt a bit better when I woke up but it's not like I can sack out every day!
Thanks for the reassurance guys. I have everything crossed (which is making it hard to walk) It is nice to know that you guys understand what I am going through. My mum had 5 pregnancies with 5 healthy children and neither my sister or SIL have had a mc, so I don't really have anyone I can talk to about these things. They just say it'll be OK to forget about it for the next few months. HAH! IF only!
OK, going to go to bed now. Thanks for listening to my rant!
I keep thinking I will log and and read that you are off the hospital to give birth!
to all you yummy mummies!
