Due in July #1

[keenansmummy]

Jaydensmum - I am so sorry to hear about your little girl,when I was growing up a close family friends little girl had 3rd degree burns and I remember how hard that was on her and her family. I hope she is feeling ok and not in to much pain...

only1mica - I have been given (today's anyway) a due date of the 5th July which is the day before my ds 2nd birthday - weird how it all works out hey.

Well back to me, I am in the world of the living again, well almost back to normal....

After being sick all week dh abused me and made me go to the drs and long story short I ended up needing to go to hospital to be put a drip for fluids and had an internal check of my cervix because I had alot of red blood but it was still closed thank god

I went to my ob today and say a bigger smudge on the screen with a heartbeat so I am soooooooooo relieved that all is well in there :smiliedance: they also said I can go back for a scan whenever i want to check so we are going back in 3 weeks to make sure it is growing well etc I cant wait!!!

I also booked my NT scan because of christmas and so far it is christmas eve - I am going to be so busy...

I cant believe it is all happening I am so excited and a little scared

[jdc07]

Not a happy camper today!!!:no:
had a doctors app today but they cancelld,:hair: booked in for next week now, wanted to have scans this week to see how everythings going!
8 wks on wednesday :smiliedance:
:fingerscrossed: further than last time so a bit scared:fingerscrossed:

Great to see that everyones enjoying M/S as much as i am as well:yes:

Hi guys,

It was nice to see where everyone is at! Im nearly 23 and my partner is 29. We got a little suprise on the 28/09/07 when my very reliable monthly friend didnt turn up. We went to the doctors and he confirmed we were 4 weeks and 1 day pregnant, due on the 4th of July next year. Although it was a huge surprise, we couldnt be happier! We had talked a lot about having a baby, and i suppose it was supposed to happen sooner than later.

I've told all my family who are extactic, first grandchild on both sides, and first great grandchild to our 3 grandmas.

I look forward to getting to know everyone who is due at the same time next year. I live in Canberra, so July will be cold which I guess is a blessing for the preganancy!

I have been so sick already and struggling at work. I think people will start noticing soon!

Look forward to hearing from everyone, and best wishes! :)

Hi Ladies,

Just reading through all of your posts and feeling grateful that I'm not alone!! I guess I'm fretting a bit (after April '07 miscarriage) and feeling a bit fragile.

Had a blood test on Saturday (at 4wks and 2 days) and it came back at 380, which I'm told is within range for that time (they said 40 - 2000). Have to get another blood test on Wednesday to see how everything is going. We are booked in for a scan on 6th of Dec (when I am at 7 weeks). Both the blood test and scan seem an eternity away!!!! :hair:

No more spotting at all since Saturday morning (and only the slightest bit then), so I'm hoping we can safely put it down to implantation bleeding.

Trying hard not to worry, but not having any really major symptoms, only some low down aches and pains and lower back pain, and some smell sensitivity. I just don't FEEL pregnant!! :)

Anyone else in the same boat?

[Maia's Mummy]

Wow so much has happened in here today!

Naomi i really hope dd is ok. My little brother got 3rd degree burns when he was 18 months old, there is barely any scaring at all. :hugs:

Hi and welcome to all the Newbies, looking forward to getting to know you all. :wave:

Had my dr appointment today. And now i a so confused?? I didnt want to have any un-necisary scans but she wants me to have a scan to confirm dates? Even though i was charting so i know how far along i am??
Also she has given me a referal for the Nuetral scan at 12 weeks, but i wasnt going to have this done either. Is everyone else haveing these scans done? Also what does everyone think? Should i have the scans done? :confused:

Sorry i know that was alot of questions.

Keenansmum so glad to hear you are feeling alot better this week. :thumbsup:

[mummy_to_thomas]

Hi girls :wave:sorry I've been MIA, just been soooo sick and tired for the past couple of days. Work aren't making it any easier either, ever since they found out i'm pregnant, I've been treated differently which really annoys me.

Naomi, I hope your DD is going to be OK, lets us know how she goes.:hugs:

Hi and welcome to all the newies who have joined recently. I'm looking forward to chatting to you all more over the coming months.

Well I'm ready to go to bed :sleeping:I'm buggered. Talk to you all tomorrow :thumbsup:

[MellyMumma]

Hi Everyone

Kb if theres tests that you dont want done then you don't have to have them. Just tell the doc that you dont want them, they can't force you. If the doc suspects there's a problem then it would be wise to get checked but if they just want to do it because its the norm then you have every right to say no.

Love hugs and kisses
Mel

[Maia's Mummy]

Where is everybody?? It is so queit in here this morning! Hope this doesnt mean everyone has morning sickness??

[fludo]

Good morning everyone. I'm 7 weeks today! :smiliedance:Still no more morning sickness since that one day of it. Don't have much appetite at dinner though.

Jaydensmum- hope your DD is ok :hugs:.

Nothing to report here really. Sometimes I don't feel pg either, but then I look down and see my bulging belly and remember how tired I am. I can't wait until I have a real baby bump and not just this bloated business.

[sshellzp]

Hey guys, I think its safe to say ms has finally kicked in :gloomy: I had a massive headache last night, was hungry but couldnt eat anything but toast and bickies or it made me feel sick and generaly felt a bit queezy. I think its actually a good sign coz last pregnancy when I had a mc this is about the time I was bleeding so I think this one is going to stick :smiliedance:

Jaydensmum - sorry to hear about your DD, hope she feels better soon, poor dear.

Shell.

[snapcracklepop]

Naomi, i hope your dd is okay. i have been burnt before, and i know how much it hurts.

We told our parents on sunday, we used miamama's idea of buying a suit and showing them what we brought. they are all so excited.

the ms is horrible!!! i am doing my groceries today and i think the supermarket knew i was suffering, ginger beer is on special, 99c a bottle!!!

my darling sister brought me the anne geddes pregnancy calendar. it is so sweet!!!

[sun1305]

Hi All

Well. I'm back from my holiday so can join in with the chat ! I'm 8weeks and 2 days ..........have an ultra sound appt tomorrow to check for heart beat so :fingerscrossed:. So far have just felt tired,all the time !! and feel like i'm going to vom !

looking forward to chatting to you all, and getting to know the due in july girls !

[alabama]

Hi Gals

I m new in this thread.Been for a while in TTC thread but finally landed up here
Wow!!!!!!!i m excited

I m due in july,not sure of the dates though coz i used to have haywire cycle.Is there anyway to know apart from dating scans which is done at 12 weeks.
I might be 4 according on the BD date.
Any clues???

[fludo]

Welcome back Sun! :wave:. That's so exciting you are going for your scan tomorrow. Another 2 weeks to wait for me.

Alabama - do you know when you o'd? Because if you do, then you can subtract 2 weeks and use that as the date of your last period and then the calculator will work out the rest. I think you can have dating scans done earlier though - a lot of the girls in here have had scans already.

[Wy & Deeky]

Hey Girls,

Gosh, my morning sickness isn't in the morning, 3pm in the afternoons mine comes in. I feel like **** :laughing: Making dinner of a night is a major mission.

Welcome back Sun! All the best for your scan tomorrow :fingerscrossed:

[snapcracklepop]

Well today has been my worse day with ms, i have had it all day long. i have been really tired all day, i had a rest but i just couldnt fall asleep. i brought groceries today and i have only put away the things that need refridgerating.
Tonight DF is making dinner, i just dont feel like it.

Welcome back :sunshine:!!!

:wave: and welcome to alabama.

[mummy_to_thomas]

I'm with everyone on the ms thing......it just seems to be getting worse :hissy: Oh and the tiredness kicks in around 3.30pm too which makes it hard to get through the afternoon at work :o

Well girls I have to go and get ready to go out for dinner. I'm meeting up with Sheree for dinner as she is in town getting her new car :smiliedance:I'll say hi to her from you all :wave:

[Wy & Deeky]

Have a great time Mel!

Libby, I was the same today with the groceries, all cold stuff was put away and then the other stuff when I felt like it :laughing: I also tried to have a sleep when DS did, only to just toss and turn!

[SweetDreams]

Hey all,

Naomi: I hope your DD is doing okay.

Sorry for being awol I've been sooooo tired (seems like most of you can relate!!!). I'm 7w2d today and going for first appt tomorrow week. We'll probably have a scan then (the receptionist said it was more than likely that we would).

Anyways, I've been at work today and I'm so zzzzzzzz!!!

Talk later!

Susan

[Wy & Deeky]

Hope you get some more ZZZZZ's Susan, definately know how you are feeling LOL!

[mummy_to_thomas]

Wow it's been very quiet in here lately, I hope everyone is doing ok :hugs:

Well I had dinner with Sheree last night and it was great, she's such a lovely girl. Oh and Lachlan is a real little cutie.

So how's everyone been? My :barf:has settled down for now but just feel very naseous first thing in the morning and at night. Only a couple more weeks and :fingerscrossed:it will all settle down once in the second trimester.

Well I'm off for work :hissy:LOL. Hope you all have a great day!

[Maia's Mummy]

Good Morning All. :wave:

I agree mel, it has been quiet in here lately.

Well the MS is slowly getting better each morning. Still shows its face but not as bad as it has been.

[Aysha'sMummy]

gah i can't wait till my ms starts getting better... having a bad ms day today.... what stops it... ginger beer does nothing i just bring it straight back up

[SweetDreams]

My parents are up today so I'm feeling very agitated. Apart from bubs refusing to go back to sleep last night after waking at midnight I'm doing okay. Might take my cuppa and go back and lie down.

[Kangaskippy]

Hi, can I join?

I just got my BFP this morning!! I am due 29.07.08 from my last AF...

This is our second and we have been TTC since the end of Oct last year...(but only really serious the last 2 mths due to Breastfeeding on demand, seems it was Great contraception!!)

[only1mica]

hey :)

I was just thinking today 2nd time around how much more relaxed I am about being pregnant...anyone else feeling this way?

Mic

[Maia's Mummy]

Welcome and Congratulations Kangaskippy. :wave:

Looking forward to getting to know you over the next 7 months or so.

[vasiliasmum]

Only1mica: I feel exactly that way!!!! I was only saying to my DH how relaxed I have been feeling this time. Maybe its because we know we can do it, 'been there, done that'....

Its a relief, I was a basket case last pregnancy, for the whole time me and my DH would not go anywhere that was further than a 10 minute drive from the hospital.

Still suffering with MS, have my first hospital appointment tomorrow - I'll be pushing for a scan :fingerscrossed:

[snapcracklepop]

I feel heaps more relaxed this time. Maybe because this one was planned.

The ms is still pretty bad today. I drank a bottle of ginger beer with my toast this morning and it helped for a bit. I had a hot choccie today and it helped with the ms as well.

I am really tired, been at TAFE all day. i am going to go and lie down before DF gets home and i have to go to the inlaws for dinner.

Hi Kangaskippy, welcome!!!

[moosmum]

Welcome kangaskippy!

Not much going on here - still no ms but really really tired by 3pm. Unfortunately DS doesn't have an afternoon sleep any more so no chance for a nap!

I think I am waaay more strung out about this pregnancy. First time around was a natural conception the first cycle we tried and I didn't know anyone who'd lost a baby or had problems falling pregnant. This time, I have seen so many of my friends go through miscarriages and it took us what seemed like an eternity and so much intervention from the fertility doctors to get pregnant that I am more aware of and worried about things that might go wrong. Hopefully all of the relaxed vibes you guys are emitting will rub off on me and I won't become a complete head case!

Good luck to all who have appointment and scans coming up!

[shereejoy]

I am back. Feels like I haven't chatted to you ladies in ages.

How are you all.

Sorry I haven't read all the posts, but have noticed there are alot of newbies. Congrats and look 4ward to getting to know you all.


I saw my gyno last Thursday and bubs heart rate was 135bpm (7 weeks 2 days), and he said all looked well, no bleeding around or in the sac, the discharge I had was unexplained but believes bubs is doing well. I am so pleased. I finally feel like I can breathe. He wants me to have another scan next week, just to keep my mind reassured, but everywhere is booked out.....

So the low heart rate he explained was not really low and he said anything over 100 he would have been happy with (bubs heart rate was 107 at 6 weeks 2 days). I guess I was more concerned because I have lost a twin at 109bpm and on the scan report it said the hr was slow.

Sometimes too much information can be damaging to your mind huh.

Thanks everyone for your support so far, and I must say I have really missed chatting after being away for the last 1.5 weeks.

Not sure when I will get to read back, so please fill me in on what I have missed.

Oh and I caught up with Tom's Melissa for dinner last night. It was lovely to meet her, we had a gr8 time with a squealing toddler LOL.!!!!

[sshellzp]

Welcome back Sheree! We have missed you. Good to hear bub is doing well.
Shell.

[Wy & Deeky]

Yay! Sheree's back :yelclap: Have missed you in here hun! Glad that everything is going well for you!

Has anyone heard on how Jaydensmum's DD is doing?

[Maia's Mummy]

Yay! My pram arrived today. We just put it together and it is so gorgeous.
Going to look at it for another day or so then pack it back up till just before bubs arrives.

Welcome back Sheree. :wave:

[jaydensmum]

Welcome back Sheree!! :wave:

Well my DD's appointment went sort of well yesterday. They are a bit concerned theres a fair bit of area thats deep and may need operating on. Her next appointment is monday and he said if theres no improvement she will be operated on that afternoon!! :thumbsdown::(

My appointment with the Ob went well yesterday. The bubs heartbeat is still going nice and strong and is measuring to my dates. :smiliedance:Ive been feeling very tired and have some heartburn. My belly is nice and bloated too! :yes:

[Wy & Deeky]

Hey Jaydensmum. The very best of wishes sent to you and your little girl for Monday. I hope she doesn't need the operation and it heals nicely. How is she coping?
Glad to hear that Bubba is doing great :)

[jaydensmum]

She is amazingly good. Even yesterday when they were doing the dressing she sat there and didnt cry once. Shes such a brave little girl!! :yes: Her pain seems to come at night, i think its when she lays on it, the pain starts. She hasnt even tried to attack the dressing yet, shes been so good.

[mummy_to_thomas]

Naomi, you have a very brave little girl there for not crying. I hope everything goes well on monday and she doesn't need the surgery. Sending you and your family big :hugs:'s.

Hi and welcome to all the new ladies on here :wave:

Well I am totally buggered tonight :sleeping:I had a very full on day at work and then had to go grocery shopping. Once I got home, I managed to put some of it away and then curled up in bed for a nap :cloud9: DF had to cook dinner as I really don't have the energy to do anything :gloomy:

[fludo]

Anyone having trouble with the new smilies? Since they've been added I haven't been able to click on them or anything on the screen actually..... Weird!I've been starting to worry the last few days which isn't like me. just want to see that heartbeat. 1 and a half weeks to go.

[shereejoy]

Naomi - wishing your daughter all the biggest hugs and kisses for Monday.

Forgot to tell you all about my new Car. Ohhh so nice........

Also forgot to say:

I am only home here till the 5th Dec and then off for the whole month and come home Boxing Day.

We go to Gin Gin/Bundaberg/Hervey Bay/Brisbane and then off to Mackay to Xmas.

I have so much to do b4 I go....... You can imagine the paperwork Wade left for me and I have to organise our staff xmas party!

[alwaysonmymind]

Were is the time going. Christmas is going to be here before I know it. I have just finished tafe forever. Well that's what I say now. Hopefully I will get more time to relax now, but I guess I should start getting some christmas shopping done:noel: and house cleaning before I put the Christmas decorations up :tree:

I am feeling good. No ms yet. Feel a bit sick every now and then but nothing to bad. I do get like period cramps about twice a day that lasts for about 1-2 minutes. Is anyone else getting these pains. Is it normal? I thought it may be my bladder pushing as it seems to ease as soon as I go to the toilet.

Hope you are all well and your little beans are settling in well. I have a scan in under two weeks now. I can wait. Will the first one be internal at 8 weeks? I can't wait to hear the heart beat.

Have a lovely day.

[Will's Mummy]

Hi there,

Thought I might pop in and say hello as we have just found out we are expecting number two on the 13th of July. Was a big surporise to DH and I as I haven't even had AF since before I was pregnant with DS. We are very excited now that we are used to the idea of having another little bub soon.

I have been extremely tired the last few weeks and have had all day sickness about every second day. No throwing up yet though so that is good. DS and I now both have colds so we are all a bit miserable at the moment!

Wishing you all the best for happy and healthy pregnancies....

[shereejoy]

Alwaysonmymind - not sure, they shouldn't need too. I have only had internals done prior to 8 weeks but believe at 8 weeks they did a tummy one. Even at my gyno last week he was able to manage a scan on my tummy with a lot of force mind you, but it beats having an internal and that was at 7 weeks 2 days.

Welcome Will's mum - congrats and hope you have a fab pregnancy.

[snapcracklepop]

Hi Wills Mummy!!!! welcome!!!

Today my ms has settled down, i might actually get some house work done.

Welcome back sheree.

Naomi, you lil girl is sooo brave. I hope everything goes ok on monday and she doesnt need any surgery. :fingerscrossed:

[sshellzp]

Welcome Will's Mummy and congrats on your pregnancy! Look forward to talking to you more.
Wow Sheree you will be one busy girl, hope you have fun away.
Shell.

[shereejoy]

Yeah that is my life these days, ever since owning a Newsagency!!!!

[alwaysonmymind]

I think I spoke to soon this morning about not having moring sickenss. I feel very :barf:. Have not actually had to run to the toilet yet but it really is not a nice feeling.

One good thing, I guess things are all going well the pregnancy and new symptoms are still appearing.:smiliedance:

[Shadek]

Hi ladies thought I would pop over from the IVF tread Im due about the 22 july.No MS yet just waves of feeling sick.
Hope all are well

[Kangaskippy]

I am so tired it's not funny...I just got my little man to sleep through the night 3 weeks ago so I could sleep more, now I am up half the night with heartburn again and loo walks...and also feeling off...(iykwim)...

anyway, it's exciting to go through it again...I am loving it..(ok, apart from the sick feeling and tiredness..;)).

But still I am loving it completely..:cloud9:

[keenansmummy]

I have also been so tired, being sick hasnt helped either I suppose...

I got ds up from his nap yesterday and blinked and woke up an hour and a half later!!!!:sleeping:

Thankgod he stayed on the couch for the cuddle otherwise god knows what trouble he could of gotten into

I felt so awful!!!

I am still bleeding on and off so have no idea what that means, only a tiny bit like when i wipe after peeing or something - we are telling the family on friday still even though i dont really want to

but if we dont tell them I know that they will be really upset, especially my mum

[poppet]

Welcome Wills mummy, and shadek look forward to getting to know you more:wave:

Jaydensmum- :hugs: for your brave little girl, hope everything goes well for you on monday.

Welcome back sheree, woohoo on the new car, and my god what a busy little bee you will be till after xmas good luck with all that.

Well MS blah, can't help thinking why did I get myself back into this ( but then remember the outcome at the end) I never had it this bad with DD, so maybe that means it's a boy :fingerscrossed:, and oh so tired, but find myself waking heaps during the night, not just for loo trips, but just waking and unable to get back to sleep, anyone else have this problem? Only 2 1/2 weeks till my ob appointment now, can't wait to see little beans heart beat.

Oh well better run, and have a nap while DD is asleep, catch you all soon

[alabama]

[sun1305]

Hope everyone is feeling ok and not suffering too much :barf:

sunx

[sshellzp]

By the way is it necessary to see OBS/hospital so early in pregnancy

No its not, I havent even been to see my GP yet because I know she would just say that I will not have my first hospital visit till im close to/past 12 weeks.

[shereejoy]

Welcome Shadek. Glad things have finally gone right for you.

[jaydensmum]

Well again im extremely tired and have some nausea. Heartburn is starting to kick in as well, hopefully it wont be as bad as what it was with my DS. Apart from that nothing else is new.

[Maia's Mummy]

Hi Girls, have been reading everyones posts and i can see that everyone is experiencing extreme tiredness as am i.

I wanted to share a little tip to beat the tiredness that my naturopath got me onto.

Take spirilina tablets, you can buy them from a health food shop, they are completely safe to take during pregnancy. (ask at chemist if you would like to check for your own peice of mind)

I have been taking 6 each morning this week, and i am so seeing the difference.

:thumbsup:

[fludo]

Hi Girls,

Had my scan yesterday, Bubs is 7 weeks 2 days, spot on with my dates and has a healthy heart beat of 152bpm, which FS doctor said was excellent! such a good feeling to see that little heart beat fluttering !! I have my first obs appt tomorrow so excited about that too.

Hope everyone is feeling ok and not suffering too much :barf:

sunx

I'm also 7 weeks 2 days! (Well, haven't had a scan yet, but I'm pretty sure!). Glad to hear bub is doing great!

[shereejoy]

Good tip kb

Yes Naomi I knew I ovulated a bit early and my scan prooved that too. So yes due 1st July now.

[snapcracklepop]

My mum used to take sprilina, not sure what for. I think i will be going to the health food shop tomorrow and seeing what they recommend for ms and the tiredness.

I just decided that i am NOT cooking dinner, the thought of it just makes me wanna :barf:

[shereejoy]

Know the feeling Libby, wanna eat, don't wanna cook, I have decided to make wade help me, surely I can do that!

[Wy & Deeky]

Hey Ladies,

Hope everyone has had a nice day.

DS has bee driving me batty all day, I have NO idea what his problem is today. Took him to see a friend this afternoon, only to have him totally embarrass me! Luckily she has a boy DS and understands *phew*

Waiting for him to go to bed and start another day LOL!

I got some good news this afternoon as well. Ive been accepted into the Gold Coast Birthing Unit. I have my own middie for the entire pregnancy, her mobile number and I get to meet her on the 17th December. So excited. This unit is separate from the Hospital, where I had a nice labour, not so nice maternity unit experience!

Im 8 weeks tomorrow :)

[shereejoy]

Congrats Beth that sounds great.

Yes lachlan has been terrible the last few days too, must be the age!!!!

[Wy & Deeky]

Thanks Sheree :) It's great to have to back hun!

I think we should leave the boys with the dads and have a non alcoholic drink :p

The good thing about this birthing unit too is that they have huge spa/baths which you can give birth in. Something Im very keen to try!

[shereejoy]

Its great to be back. I missed you all. Just need to get to know the newbies now.

My boy is 18mths old today, where has that time gone!!! :no:

[shereejoy]

Oh and here here to the drink! Gosh I need one.....

I just added wine to my carbonara dish - ooops! Gotta get it somehow hehe

[mandy31]

[Alisonp]

Sorry I haven't been keeping up very well so far. By the time I read all the posts it's time to go to bed but I'm doing my best.

Anyway, I just wanted to share my happy news....I had my dating ultrasound today and I am 7 weeks 2 days so due 8th July. Baby is doing great with a good heartbeat and we couldn't be happier :smiliedance:

Sun and Fludo :hugs: Sounds like we are all due exactly the same day! Most likely though I will go way over though like I did with DD :thumbsdown:

[Maia's Mummy]

Yay Congrats Beth.
I have heard good things about the birthing center.

[Maia's Mummy]

Congrats to you also allison. Must be such a great feeling to see the heart beat. And wow the 8th of July is proving to be a busy day.

[mummy_to_thomas]

I have my dating scan today, which I am excited about!! Its not till this afternoon though which means its going to be a long day!!! By my dates I am 6 weeks 1 day today so will be interesting to see if that changes!!

MS hasnt been as bad lately, which is great!! Still there in the background but not as strong.. Fantastic hope it lasts!!!

Have been super tired though and have seriously sore (.) (.) so uncomfy!!!!

Well I will let you all know how I go with my scan, wish me luck!!!:hugs:

[shereejoy]

GL at your scan Miamama.

Congrats on your scan Alison - exciting huh, makes it all a little bit more real huh.

Hi to everyone else, hope you all have a good day.

[fludo]

Has anyone had any sharp lower abdominal pains? I just started feeling them early this morning. It's really low and on one side. It only lasts a second and it's not so bad I double over or anything.I read round ligament pains can feel like that but also read they aren't supposed to start before 2nd trimester?I'm hoping it's a bowel thing. Anyone had any problems like this?

[shereejoy]

I have had that Fludo. Don't remember getting them until 14 weeks with Lachlan, but then I had them early my last pregnancy that I m/c too. I had these pains a few days b4 going to the gyno and all was confirmed good at the gyno, so guess I am just feeling these ligament pains early this time.

[jaydensmum]

Fludo - it sounds like ligament pain. Your uterus is expanding and ligaments are soft so it causes some discomfort. Try not to worry about it too much, but if you are concerned just ask your dr. :hugs:

miamama - good luck with your scan today, i look forward in hearing about it. :)

Well not much happening for me. I had some bad nausea last night, in fact close to :barf:. I dont feel too bad today. I cant wait til i start feeling the baby move. With Alethea and Oceana i felt them at 11wks. :yes: I hope everyone is doing well! :hugs:

[Scarlett_Jasper_Rafferty]

just wanted to say hi scarlett_jasper... we were in the same group last time round, due july/aug 06 :laughing:

:wave:Hi Mic! Congrats to you!:D

[jaydensmum]

I was in the same group mica, cause Ally was due and born in July 06! :yes: :)

Im feeling so nauseous again!!! I feel like im going to :barf:!! Ive got to go to work now, great and im going feeling like this! :thumbsdown:

[Wy & Deeky]

GL at the scan Em! Cant wait to hear your results sweetie!

[keenansmummy]

[only1mica]

how naughty of me Naomi....not remembering tut tut Mic!!! :doh:

[sun1305]

Hi

Fludo – I’ve had these pains too ………………I had my first Ob’s appt today and asked her about it and she said they were perfectly normal and just everything moving and stretching. Ob’s appt went well, the ob gave me a 2 mins dvd of bub !!! I wasn’t expecting that so very pleased !!

How’s everyone feeling ??

x

[fludo]

Thanks so much Shereejoy, Jaydensmum and Sun for your reassurance. I was really starting to worry. I feel kinda left out on my own as I don't have my first ob appointment for another week and a half, so if something does go wrong, I don't know where I'm supposed to go. I think it's really weird obs don't usually see you until that late. I know it's to wait for all those early m/c to happen, but you'd think we'd need some support during that time too! We also haven't told anyone so I don't have anyone to talk these things through. thanks girls.I'd add some cool smilies but for some reason my computer doesn't like the new ones. It puts all my writing into 1 paragraph too and I can't click anything on the screen - (enter head banging wall icon!).Oh, I see they don't have that one anymore!Miamama - good luck at your scan!Sun - that is sooo cool you got a DVD of bub!

[snapcracklepop]

I went to the healthfood shop today and seen what i could get for the ms, they gave me the blackmores ms relief tablets. Also they recommended drinking some peppermint tea. I brought some at the supermarket but havent started to drink it yet. I will let you know how it goes.
Today the ms started at lunch time. It seems to get worse around then and then last all night.
DS starts swimming lessons tomorrow, so i am hoping that i feel ok enough to swim with him. Also my mum is getting chrisco, and we are allowed to go shopping in her cupboards. :thumbsup:

[Maia's Mummy]

[quote=fludo;2125317]I feel kinda left out on my own as I don't have my first ob appointment for another week and a half, quote]

Fludo i am almost ten weeks and i dont have my first Ob appointment for another 6 weeks!!!
Ill be 4 months when i first get in to see the ob. So dont feel left out hun, im right here with ya.

[Alisonp]

Fludo I didn't have my first scan with my DD until I was 9 weeks. The reason why I got one earlier this time is because my cycle was so freakishly long this month (about 45 days...hence my little surprise ovulation and BFP) and they usually time the first OB visit and scan off your LMP.

Otherwise, I would have had to wait another 2 weeks also.

Usually they only scan early if you have had some bleeding or a history of miscarriage.

If something does go wrong you ring your OB and they will fit you in straight away!

[fludo]

Thanks again girls. I think when the pains started today it all just started feeling more real. I cant' wait until the first appointment and scan are over and hopefully then I can relax again. What a journey we are on!

[~mia&ryan~]

Hi all!!

The scan went well today, my dates were right and :baby: is due 17th.. Was so tiny!! 4mm, so bizarre, didnt have a scan this early with DD... Had a good heartbeat, 127bpm which I was really happy to see on the screen... You could see the tiny heart beating, just amazing!!:cloud9:

But the water drinking before the test was awful!!! With every mouthful I thought I was going to throw up and there was no way I could hold for 2 hours!!! More in my mind than anything else, all I could think about was how much water I had drunk and how long I had to wait before I could go!!!:laughing: I havent been able to drink plain water much lately so it was just awful.. Poor DD was trying to help by squeezing the bottle for me!!!

Not much else to tell here, hope everyone is doing well.

Em :hugs:

[Wy & Deeky]

Awesome Em :yelclap: was wondering how you went today! Same heart rate as my bubba!

[jaydensmum]

how naughty of me Naomi....not remembering tut tut Mic!!! :doh:

LOL!! :laughing:Thats ok! :)

Miamama - im happy to hear your scan went well. Dont you just love the holding on part. Last time i had one i felt like i was going to explode in the waiting room!! :laughing:

Well no nausea this morning, but ive had heartburn. Im not really having many symptoms, mostly just tired. I think ally helps with that too. :yes:

[fludo]

Miamama - glad to hear your scan went well. I'm looking forward to the water drinking part. How much do you have to drink? How is everyone feeling today? I'm feeling much more relaxed and the pains have stopped which is great. yay!

[Kangaskippy]

I have had 1 x 1.5hr nana nap today and could have gone another this afternoon...except my son wouldn't have an arvo nap...oh well...

I am still just radiating heat, it's amazing...I remember doing the same last time I was pregnant..lucky that only the first trimester is in summer or I would be living in front of the aircon...

No :barf:yet, but have a bit of nausea at times...which is not so nice, but at least I know what to expect this time...:bee:

[Wy & Deeky]

Hey Girls,

Just popping my head in to say hi. Im exhausted, we had a kids birthday party for Wyatt today, thank goodness I had it at Hungry Jacks and not at home :laughing: Still exhausting LOL!
My brother is here for the night, so off to catch up with him and playing silly buggers :)

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend :)

[LJ]

Hope you don't mind me popping into this thread....I've just found out im due around the 19th of July... (if our calculations are correct).

10 WEEKS TODAY !!

:smiliedance: YAY :yelclap:


Hows everyone else feeling this morning??

[Wy & Deeky]

Awesome Kira!

Im going OK this morning so far, how are you feeling hun?

Currently sitting here, eating brekkie whilst DH is pulling apart our dishwasher, the seals have busted and flooded the kitchen last night *smacks heads*

Off to the Good Guys today for a new one, which was going to be replaced next tax time, but it had other plans....

[Maia's Mummy]

Sounds like your dishwasher had plans of its own Beth. Oh well its always exciting getting new things.

I am going good, the MS is getting better and better each day. I am still really tired. but i keep telling myself that i should only have another 2 weeks or so of feeling so ****. LOL

My belly has just Popped on out this week also!
For people who know me well they can tell but strangers would just think i am fat. lol

DF is still away on work, so i am feeling a bit lonely today. Thinking about heading to the shops, i need to buy some new tops and a new bra mine are all getting to tight. And was thinking i might do some christmas shopping.

[shereejoy]

Hi all.

Silly me was nieve to think you all hadn't been posting. I was dropped off the email notifications again. That happens so much to me of late.

Just popping into say hi and hope you are all well.

I am fighting m/s late afternoon and nights lately. So not feeling the best at all!

[shereejoy]

Oh and can't believe Rudd won!

Doesn't worry me either way, I guess we have no choice about it just have to live with it, but I must say I shed a tear for Howard!

[fludo]

It'll be exciting to see the changes that happen in the country now we have a new PM! I've never been so excited or interested in politics! ha! A mod is working on my posting problem so hopefully my posts will start looking a bit more interesting soon. I woke up with a metal tasting mouth for the first time today. I'ts gross! We also told my immediate family yesterday that we are having a baby! So glad that one's over with!

[34me]

Hi everyone:wave: I thought i would attempt to join in but please forgive me if I cant keep up:o I had my first lot of morning sickness yesterday :( I hope it does not last, otherwise I am feeling pretty great. Is anyone else due towards the end of July? Or am I on my lonesome so far? Anyway I will go and try to read all these pages lol:wave: Looking forward to sharing this journey with you all.

[mummy_to_thomas]

Hi everyone :wave:and how's everyone's weekend going? Mine has been nice and relaxing, just what I needed. Everyday I'm struggling with :barf:and severe tiredness so when the weekend comes, I just stay in bed as much as I can.

This morning we drove down to the beach to get some fresh seafood for dinner and OMG, the smell of the fish market made me :dizzy:. Then I had to drive 40 mins home feeling like I was going to :barf:all the time......not good. So the rest of the day I plan on doing as little as possible.

[shereejoy]

Make the most of resting first pregnancy Melissa, cause believe me you can't rest much when you have a toddler. Something I wish I had of done more of when I was pregnant with Lachlan, so learn that lesson off me ok and enjoy relaxing as much as you want.

Hi34 me, congrats and welcome.

[mummy_to_thomas]

Hi sheree, yep that's exactly what i plan on doing, resting heaps. Now all i need is a house maid and I'll be set :laughing:

How's your little cutie Lachlan?

[Maia's Mummy]

Oh and can't believe Rudd won!

Doesn't worry me either way, I guess we have no choice about it just have to live with it, but I must say I shed a tear for Howard!


I agree Sheree.
This was the first time i have really followed the election. But I was suprised to see that so many people voted for Rudd. Oh well, as you said i guess we will just have to live with it. Does worry me though...


Have just been shopping, bought a very cute little pair of cream coloured tights fro cotton on kids for the bargain price of $5.00. I am really getting a little collection of clothes happening now. Shopping has made me sooo tired. Just gunna chill for the arvo i think. Might even go for a swim.

Hope everyone is having a great week end.

[shereejoy]

Melissa - my little cutie is not squealing and screaming like he was when we went out for dinner with you, now that is a plus!

Kb - yeah we are a bit concerned at how he will protect small business seeing as we own a newsagency. But Like I said nothing we can do about it now, just hope Australia has made the right decision.

[34me]

I am so starving! I think I am eating every couple of hours now lol. Does anyone know if we can eat fish from the take away shop? I really want fish and chips with seafood sauce :D kb2711 I bought a gorgeous little cream and tan set for bub yesterday :) dont you just love the tiny clothes?

[Maia's Mummy]

34me, ive been eating fish from the take away shop. I havent heard that theres anything wrong with it. Its well cooked and fresh so you should be fine. :yes:

[34me]

Yay!!:smiliedance::yelclap: Thank you

[34me]

I asked in the main pregnancy section but I thought I might try here too as many of you ladies have had scans already:) What can you see at about 5 weeks pregnant either internal or external scan? When is there a heart beat visible? Thanks:hugs:

[mandy31]

hello 34me
well with my dd paige there was no heart beat at 5 weeks it was there at 6 weeks around 6 weeks it starts
and i had a scan there wasnt much there at all just a really really small ball that was it at 5 weeks 3 days scan with her

[34me]

I think I will only be 5 weeks 1 day at the scan. Hope i can get another one to see the heartbeat soon:fingerscrossed: Thank you mandy31:)

[mandy31]

ok ladies i need ur help k

well i didnt breastfeed paige coz it hurt lol wat a cry baby i am

but i wanna try with this 1 k so help me get motavated ladies i really reallly want to this time i didnt wait till my milk came in with paige i stopped after 2 days i was having so much trouble getting her on and no1 was helping me

[snapcracklepop]

Ok ladies, i really need your help. I have had some light bleeding tonight, just went to the toilet and there was some on my undies (TMI). Last night i had some light cramps, more of an upset tummy than anything. I am getting some cramps now, they feel like i have gas.
Is it too late to be an implantation bleed. I am 8 weeks today?? Can someone help????

[Maia's Mummy]

what colour is the blood libby?

[snapcracklepop]

Sorry, its brownish and not very thick more stringy IYKWIM (TMI).

[Maia's Mummy]

From everything i have read and also from my friends scare at the Hospital a fortnight ago, brown blood can be just left overs from implanation or last period. If you get red blood go to the Dr's but still dont panic cause even if there is red blood as long as theres no painfull cramping all should be fine.

Hope this helps. Im not the most knowledgable of bubhubbers. :D

[snapcracklepop]

Thanks Kira, i have been googling like crazy. I think i might go and lie down and just try to rest. I am going to the doctors tomorrow so i will ask him about.

I am in two minds about whether to tell DF.

[Maia's Mummy]

mmm??? Up to you. but if it was me i would tell DF. Not to worry them, but just that they like to be informed and know whats going on with you and bub. I am positive everything will be fine.

My friend had very heavy red bleeding for 10 hours 2 weeks ago and she and bub are absolutely fine.

Take it easy tonight. At least if you tell DF he can get up to Will in the middle of the night and let you rest. :yes:

[shereejoy]

Oh Libby as hard as it is, try not to worry honey. If you are 8 weeks, sometimes it can be because it is when af is due anyway. Also brown blood is def better then red but in saying that I had the worst bleeding with lachlan out out of all of my pregnancies - profuse red and clots - and he is a perfectly healthy 18mth old. I hope this helps to give you some reassurance. Def rest I know that, that was the only thing that helped things settle in Lachlan's pregnancy. I have brown discharged in all of my pregnancies so far except for the last twin pregnancy where I only discharged at 8ish weeks and it was stuff all. Big hugs to you and put your feet up ok.

[Wy & Deeky]

Hey Libby,

I replied to your other thread there, I had the same thing at 6 weeks and it was the implantation bleed finally coming out. I didn't have cramping though.

TO be safe, I would get it checked out and in the mean time, try and rest, easier said than done I know with another little person around!

[LJ]

I asked in the main pregnancy section but I thought I might try here too as many of you ladies have had scans already:) What can you see at about 5 weeks pregnant either internal or external scan? When is there a heart beat visible? Thanks:hugs:


I havent had my first scan yet... going on the 10th of December.

But I was told a heart beat is picked up from 8weeks :)

At 5 weeks pregnant apparently you will only see the sac..??

[vasiliasmum]

Hi Libby,

I also had a bleed on Friday - bright red, stringy blood. Too scared to go to the hospital to have it checked out at this stage. Since then it has turned into a very light, brown discharge. No cramping or anything and I still 'feel' pregnant, with MS still around. I am just taking it as a sign I need to take it REALLY easy. If it happens again I will head to the hospital to get it checked out. I have had bleedings with each of my pregnancy so hope it doesn't signal anything is wrong.

Pregnancy is stressful isn't it!!!!

[m2be]

Hi Libby,

I understand completely how you are feeling, I have had some spotting too. Only a little bit, but still enough to make you worry. A couple of very nice ladies were kind enough to respond to my thread "worry over feint spotting" and it was enough to make me take a deep breath and just relax a bit - which I think might just be the key, as my spotting has slowed.

I would tell DF if I were you, I know mine wants to know everything so he can be supportive (bless him!).

It probably wouldn't hurt to discuss with your GP either - even if it is just to put your mind at rest. Mine has been testing my hCG levels regularly and that is helping me because then I can see proof that all is OK!

And to 34me - thanks for asking that question re the heartbeat, I have a scan next week (at 7 weeks) and I was curious too! Looks like we may have to wait until the scan after to hear something for sure!

Hope everyone else is happy and healthy!

Fi

[shereejoy]

m2be and 34me - you can definitely get a heart beat at 6 weeks not 8 weeks as somebody mentioned. If it is not there and no fetal pole there normally indicates there is something wrong, that is what happened at my last pregnancy and had to have a curette. I have even had a heart beat at 5 weeks 4 days, so by 6 weeks you should def have a hb.


I am 9 weeks 2morrow and I should practice what I preach after telling Libby not to worry, I 2 have started discharging red last night, only when I wiped and has settled again this morning, turned to brown. But I am so upset and worried. Hard when you live an hour away from the hospital, and I can't get in for a scan it is all booked out, tried last week. Will ring today again and try, crossing fingers they put me in, I need to ease my mind. Easier to do an hour drive during the day with a toddler then at night. I am sick of never having an easy pregnancy. If this pregnancy is successful, this is the last one!! Even though I wanted one more, I am sick of this worry and drama that I always seem to have in all of my pregnancies so far!

[m2be]

Thanks Shereejoy. I can't wait until next week now!! :fingerscrossed: we will hear something!!

For all of those who are really stressed and could use a hand relaxing, my GP has suggested "Rescue Remedy" which is a Bach Flower remedy and works on a vibrational level and apparently is quite good. I am going to get some today to try!

Fi

[snapcracklepop]

I have just gotten back from the hospy. I went to the local one here first and they checked me over and said that it doesnt sound like anything to major, but took my vitals and asked me my blood group. Once i had told them that i was a neg blood type, they suggested that i have the anti d injection, trouble was, they dont have it at my hospital (small country town), so i had to go to the next closest which is 20 mins away. Oncei got there the triage nurse checked my vitals again and my bp was low, 97/65. She said that it was nothing to alarmed about, and gave me the injection.
I have been told to take it very easy for the next 48 hours and if there is any more cramping, bleeding etc then i have to go straight back to the hospital.
I still feel pregnant, i still have nausea, no cramping atm and no spotting since last night. :fingerscrossed: it all settles down. I am now going to lie down on the lounge and watch cartoons all day with DS.

[m2be]

Well that all sounds very promising Libby. I will keep my :fingerscrossed: for you!! :hugs:

Enjoy a nice relaxing day! That's exactly what I'm trying to do too - I have my trashy mags (NW, New Idea) and have camped down for an exiting installment of mindless drivel!!

Fi

[fludo]

Willsmumma - so glad to hear things went well at the hospital. You just rest up the next few days. I have been so lazy this last week, just don't feel like doing anything. The trashy mag idea sounds great!

[shereejoy]

So glad all is ok Libby.

I have a scan at 12.50pm today to make sure all is ok here. I am so worried something is up.

[Aysha'sMummy]

Lib rest up hun.... i just came back from the hospital this morning after bad morning sickness was getting a bit too much for me and i was really dizzy all the time and could hardly keep food down over the pat few days ... so they gave me some maxalon to keep it away for a while.... but i really need to drink loads of water otherwise i might have to go back and get a drip put in...

Hope everything works out hun :fingerscrossed: and i'm here if you want to talk

[Maia's Mummy]

So happy to hear that all is well Libby. Rest up.

I am desperately trying to get out the last of my orders, so that i can spend some time doing nothing.

[Maia's Mummy]

I finally went had had my antenatal bloods done!! Have been putting it off for weeks. All done!

[shereejoy]

I just got back from my scan and bubs is doing really well. Heart rate was 176bpm. This has given me alot of confidence that bubs is doing so well with such a strong heart beat. So the bleed is unexplained, but has settled to brown now anyway.

[34me]

Hi all:wave:

Willsmumma- Good to hear things seem to be improving for you:hugs: I would say a good rest is definately in order.

M2be- Goodluck with your scan! I can have another one before christmas I rang and asked today-yay!

shereejoy- I was just about to ask how your scan went when I noticed your reply. Good news!:smiliedance:and thanks for the scan advice.

Nanny_Leilz- Hi and welcome I have just started posting in this thread too, good luck for your scan on the 10th! Have you booked a hospital yet?

fludo- I am the same I just cant be bothered with anything lol.

kb- I had my bloods done last week, I still have a sore arm from it! Hope the results are good, Im sure they will be.



Honestly I barely feel pregnant lately. I am having a werid twingy pain on my left side of my uterus area, not sure what it is, hope its nothing.
I am sooo tired but I am waking up all night everynight. My boobs are settling down pain wise now and I have already got a maternity bra as my wire ones were making the pain worse :(
No more actual morning sickness just a little bit queasy occasionally.
You all are so much farther along than me lol I feel I have AGES to go!
We need to be able to use more smiley faces!

3 days til the scan!:smiliedance:

Take care everyone :hugs:

[poppet]

Oh Shree so happy to hear everything went well with your scan, you poor thing, nothing like these little bubba's giving us stress, not to mention a Toddler in tow as well, rest up and i'm sure the disharge will stop foe you hun.

Well I am soo tired, we had DD 2nd birthday yesterday, and I didn't have a chance for my nanna nap, and am now paying for it today, I will be in bed very early tonight. Feel a little nausas all day, not too bad just enough to know its there:dizzy:

Cheers girls chat soon

[snapcracklepop]

Thanks for all your kind words ladies. I spent the rest of the day lying on the lounge, it was really easy today as DS is sick as well, so we both just lounged around and really did nothing all day. We watched trashy tv and some cartoons. I feel a lot better this arvo.
My mum offered to take will tonight so that i can get some rest, but i told her that he is sick and that he may not want to stay. I still feel nausea, never thought i would be happy to have it, but it is definatly a good sign. No more cramps or spotting, so :fingerscrossed: it was just to keep me on my toes.

Sheree- congrats on the scan!!
Nanny Lielz- Hi and welcome, i hope you have a h&h pregnancy!!!

[Wy & Deeky]

Hey Libby,

Just popping in to see how you are. Im so glad that things are OK. You make sure you take it easy :)

I was speaking to my middie on Friday, looking like my due date is being pushed to the 1st again :laughing:

But, we've both agreed that baby decides on when he/she will come :laughing:

So, starting my 9th week tomorrow according to their dates :)

[Alisonp]

ok ladies i need ur help k

well i didnt breastfeed paige coz it hurt lol wat a cry baby i am

but i wanna try with this 1 k so help me get motavated ladies i really reallly want to this time i didnt wait till my milk came in with paige i stopped after 2 days i was having so much trouble getting her on and no1 was helping me

Mandy - Good on you for wanting to give b/f a go with this bub. If it works breastfeeding is the most amazing thing. I feel so blessed to have been able to experience it especially since it was really difficult for me in the first month or so.

I think the best thing is to try and educate yourself about breastfeeding beforehand. Maybe buy a couple of books, or get some from your local library. Mine even had a video when I checked recently. The other thing is to tell everyone you want to try really hard to get breastfeeding working this time and to ask for their support.

There is help available too from the ABA (free) or from lactation consultants ($$$). My maternity hospital offered breastfeeding classes for a cost after bub was born and so did my local public hospital but those were free. You go in for the day and they help you with feeds to watch attachment etc.

Bubhub is also a great resouce. You only have to read the breastfeeding pages to see there is lots of passionate advice available.:hugs:

[Alisonp]

Great to hear that everything is OK Sheree and Libby (phew!). I hadn't seen either of your posts until now.

[Wy & Deeky]

OK, Ive finally got through the rest of todays posts LOL!

Glad to hear that your scan went OK today Sheree, that's a strong lil heartbeat your bubba has!

[shereejoy]

Yeah thanx ladies, the strong heart beat is definitely very very reassuring.

[m2be]

Hi ladies,

Just checking out how everyone went today!

Libby, so glad you managed to have a slower day, and great to hear you are feeling OK.

Sheree, great news about your scan, you must feel so much better!!

I'm making this a quick one as I have promised myself an early one.

Take care all!
Fi :hugs:

[mummy_to_thomas]

Sheree, glad to hear your scan went well and bubs has a nice strong heartbeat :smiliedance:

Libby, good to hear you are taking it easy :fingerscrossed:everything is going to be fine from now on.

Good luck to everyone with scans coming up, I'm not too sure when we will have our next one. I guess we will find out after our first hospital appt. on the 20th. I soooooo want to see our little bub again.

Beth, I too was talking to my doc and they are thinking of moving my due date to 30 June but won't know for sure until my next scan.:)

Well as for me, I actually got to eat brekky this morning :yelclap:I'm still feeling naseous all day and very tired. Also, I've noticed that my tummy is soooo itchy at the moment.

On the down side, I think I over did it at work today though :thumbsdown:my tummy is cramping a bit, mainly on the left side. I'm just going to take it easy tonight and hope that it's all good by morning.

[Scarlett_Jasper_Rafferty]

H Guys,...... so pleased that everyone is doing well,..and that the scans are coming back with good news,.......I have my first obbie appointment and scan this morning at 9:30,....so excited!!!! So I will update when I get back,.. have a lovely morning everyone,.....:wave:

[mummy_to_thomas]

Good morning everyone :wave:

Well my cramping has eased up a bit this morning but my tummy is still really sore. :fingerscrossed:everything is ok and it's just stretching or something. I haven't had any spotting or blood so that has to be a good thing.

Scarlett_jasper - best of luck with your appt today and :smiliedance:for the scan.

Well I'm off to work, I've decided I'm taking it really easy today and I don't care what anyone thinks at work :DI'm not being lazy, I'm looking after me and :baby:. I know a few will have a problem with it but I know I get my job done and that's all that matters.

[shereejoy]

GL at your scan today scarlet-jasper. Thinking of you.

You go Melissa - yes take it easy at work, like you said you still get your work done.

[snapcracklepop]

Mandy, i am in the same boat as you. I bf DS for 3 weeks, but he was just not getting enough, IMO. This time i am definatly bfing. I am looking forward to it soo much. This time i know that if i cant, then it isnt that bad, i know that i gave it the very shot that i could and there is no need to beat myself up over it.

Melissa- take it easy today, it is not worth putting your :baby: at risk to please others.

Had a horrible night with DS last night. He has a mouth full of ulcers. The poor little thing cant eat, it takes him ages to drink. He is in soo much pain, he wakes up because he has hit himself it mouth with his bottle. He was awake every couple of hours and just wanted me to hold his hand so he could go back to sleep.
I am feeling great, i picked at my dinner last night, the thought of it made me sick :thumbsup:!!! I am going to go and have a late brekky, i feel like honey on toast!!

[Scarlett_Jasper_Rafferty]

:wave: Hi guys,... Scan went really well today,..... heartrate at 167bpm,...bubby moving around and right size for dates,..... Still due June 29th,... so,....yay! Stephen did a 3D scan too,..which was amazing,...you could see the little arm buds and eyes forming,........incredible,..... the little arms were waving!

[Aysha'sMummy]

aww how exciting... it was waving very cute...

I can't wait till i can have a scan

[shereejoy]

What a lovely scan you had.

[34me]

I had a scan today because of the pain I had and my uterus is empty :( She said I may not yet be 5 weeks and thats why there was no sac visible. I thought I was 5 weeks tomorrow but I guess my dates could be wrong? She couldnt see anything in my tubes but she said if I was 4 weeks and ectopic it would be too hard to see anyway. I had more blood taken results back tomorrow, we have to see if they go up from last thursday and I should wait a week or so for another scan.:(

[shereejoy]

Sorry to hear that 34me, hopefully it is just too early too tell. Did your original blood test show that you were pregnant with a hcg level?

[34me]

The first test was equivocal the second was positive but they wouldnt tell me the levels they just said it definately went up in two days.

[shereejoy]

Hopefully these next levels are good for them to compare to the last results then.

How do you feel about it all? A bit confused? Is af def late?

[34me]

I am nervous and upset and yes period is well and truly late. I have had 8 positive home tests on different brands, two at the doctor and the definate positive blood test on thursday.

[Aysha'sMummy]

aww hun i hope everything turns out ok for you :fingerscrossed:

I have to go to my dr today after my hospital visit yesteday.... i now can't keep any foods down so hopefully he will give me something to stop the morning sickness or put me into hospital so they can keep an eye on me... the dr i saw yesterday said my body was going into starvation mode and i really needed to try and keep foods down. So i hope my dr can do something... i don't think my body can handle this for much longer... i already get dizzy sitting or standing.... hope to keep you all posted

[moosmum]

Hi everyone,

I haven't had a chance to read through the last few days of posts properly, but congrats and welcome to all the newbies!

shereejoy and scarlett_jasper - congrats on your fantastic scan results - that is such good news and must be such a relief!

34me - hope you get a nice strong +ve with your next set of bloods!

All moving along OK here - had my first touch of ms over the weekend and I was mildly nauseous all day, but woke up feeling fine again today. After blood results at the FS yesterday, found out that I will have to keep on with the injections and progesterone until 12 weeks, so I am a bit down about that because I was hoping to be given the all clear after 7 week scan on Thursday. Small price to pay for a healthy bubby, but it is still tough to think that I have another 5 weeks of it!

[keenansmummy]

1sttimemum2be - I was exactly the same a few weeks back and ended up going into hospital on a drip because i was so dehydrated and that made me feel so much better, actually stopped the vomiting (well the excessive vomiting)

the dr told me that once you get to a certain point of not eating or drinking the body has trouble accepting anything you put into it that is why i felt so good after the fluids...

it took about a week for me to be able to stand up and not pass out after my hospital visit...

I hope that they have a simple solution like that for you

take care.

[sshellzp]

Sorry to hear about everyones morning sickness. I can keep things down but I feel sick all day everyday. Getting quite tiresome. Cant wait for this stage to be over so I can have a life again. Just want to lay in bed and never get up. Sorry to complain so much...
Shell.

[shereejoy]

Oh Shell you poor thing, I can relate, although my mornings are good, but that is the only part of the day I feel ok. Yucko to ms I say.

34me- you poor thing, I hope everything works out for you. Too stressful....

Moosmum - do you have low progesterone levels is that why you have to keep having progesterone injections. Mine were dropping too at one stage and I was worried.

1sttimemumtobe - gosh you poor thing being so sick. I am so thankful I am not throwing up, but then I also wonder if it would make me feel a bit better too.

[LJ]

Sorry to hear about everyones morning sickness. I can keep things down but I feel sick all day everyday. Getting quite tiresome. Cant wait for this stage to be over so I can have a life again. Just want to lay in bed and never get up. Sorry to complain so much...
Shell.

I understand completely how you feel... My morning sickness woke me up at 4-30am this morning... and Ive felt horrible all day since :thumbsdown:

Oh the joys lol, This is my first but Im hoping what they say is true, that the 1st stage passes and 2nd trimester is quite plesant!! :)

[shereejoy]

2nd trimester with Lachlan I felt gr8. I did so much normal stuff it wasn't funny! Felt so good....

[Wy & Deeky]

Im the opposite, mine hits around 3pm, makes getting dinner interesting :laughing:

I started feeling great with DS around 13 weeks, fingers crossed it'll leave soon with this one too!

You have my sympathies!

[shereejoy]

I felt better around 13 weeks too Beth.

[Wy & Deeky]

There's hope yet :laughing:

Im hoping it doesn't last the whole pregnancy like a friend of mine, she was sick the day she went into labour the poor thing. Her diet was rice crackers, water and vegemite sandwichs the entire pregnancy!

[sshellzp]

Im hoping it doesn't last the whole pregnancy like a friend of mine, she was sick the day she went into labour the poor thing. Her diet was rice crackers, water and vegemite sandwichs the entire pregnancy!

Wow that would suck. Sounds a bit like my diet at the moment. Would hate for it to be like this the whole pregnancy, would prolly put me off having more kids.
I know one of my friends is 18 weeks at the moment and is still having ms, poor thing. I hope it doesnt last that long for her.

[shereejoy]

Oh that would be horrible, as ordinary as I feel these days I am truely thankful and know that it will finish soon enuf.

[Wy & Deeky]

I was just thinking,

This Christmas and regarding Ham. Would Leg ham straight off the bone be OK to eat instead of Deli ham?

Just a stupid random thought for the day from me :laughing: I really love my Christmas ham!

If it's not though, wouldn't give it a second thought, it would be flicked.

[mummy_to_thomas]

Beth, my naturopath told me that I can still enjoy my ham at chrissy but not straight of the bone. She said that you can lightly pan fry it and that is fine then to eat.

The one thing I'm going to miss at chrissy is fresh prawns mmmmmm.

[Aysha'sMummy]

Hey guys,

the dr prescribed me some maxalon to take so hopefully that will help me keep foods down... just not long finished my dinner n it seems like it will stay :fingerscrossed:.... i can't wait until this whole morning sickness is over... my body really doesn't deal well with it. Hope this works otherwise i'll need a drip

[mummy_to_thomas]

:fingerscrossed:1sttimemum2be the maxalon works and you don't need the drip.:hugs:

[jaydensmum]

Well i went for my appointment today and things are going well. :) The baby's heartrate is going well and im measuring a wk in advance!!! :eek::) Last week i was measuring 7wk6days and its saying today 9wks6days. So according to my measurements im 10wks tomorrow!! :yelclap:The due date thats on the scan says 25/06/2008. So im not sure whether im due then or the 1st july. Anyway im happy that bub is doing well.

34me - maybe your dates are wrong, i hope things work out ok for you hun! :hugs:

[shereejoy]

Hope you kept down your dinner 1sttimemum2be.

Naomi, maybe you just have a big baby, apparently they are really taking into consideration genetics these days. That is what my sister was told when she went for a scan in Brissy and they are both very tall, so she is always measuring ahead now as baby is also tall.

[jaydensmum]

Sheree - they do consider genetics for bigger babys towards the end but not the begining. In the begining the babys tend to grow at the same rate to the dates. So im just confused now! :)

[Wy & Deeky]

Ive been given three dates with this bub, now they are telling me at the birthing unit that 1st July is the date they are basing this pregnancy from now. We've all agreed though, it's baby's decision when to come. I was given 4 dates with Wyatt, and my dates that I worked out was the closet, all their dates were 3 weeks out :laughing:

It's a confusing science LOL!

Thanks for the tip on the Xmas Ham Mel, It's going to be hard this year, everything being served I have to cook on the bbq, prawns, ham and chicken! Im making the salads this year as the pre packed stuff is off the list too!

Is there anything we can eat this year? :laughing:

[Aysha'sMummy]

i did end up keeping my dinner down :thumbsup:

i think the maxalon will work until it runs out lol but after that it might not stay but :fingerscrossed: it does.

[shereejoy]

Naomi, I think they are changing their ideas on it all. They actually told her that at her 8-9 week scan as the crown to rump was longer then 8-9 weeks but the leg buds were not matching to that gestation. She knows when she conceived, they only dtd twice, 2 nites in a row, so their baby's crown to rump was long. They are both very tall people.

[~mia&ryan~]

Yikes this thread move quickly!!!

Good to hear everyone is doing well, apart from the MS!!! Mine has now decided to be all day which is just awful, I feel like I am going to throw up with every move I make!!!

Apart from that I am feeling great!!!:laughing:

I am 6 weeks 6 days today...Getting more an more of all the christmas things organised, am so looking forward to decorating the house on saturday!!!

Re chrissie food, baked ham would be okay wouldnt it, mum always has a hot baked ham,no cold meat there!!! Cant wait as my inlaws only do cold meat and seafood!!

Well best go, off to do some baking with DD!!!

Take care all!!

Em:hugs:

[jaydensmum]

Sheree - cool thanks for that info! :thumbsup:

Well not much happening for me here. Im not having many signs of pg but tiredness. My bb's are a bit tender and are getting bigger. My belly hasnt done much growing lately. Heres a piccy of bubby yesterday:

http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n129/naomik_2006/2007155.jpg

I hope you are all doing well. :)

[moosmum]

Bring on the second trimester - enough of all of this all-day sickness!

shereejoy - my progesterone levels have fluctuated between 75 and 95 which is well within the normal range for 1st trimester, but the FS doesn't want to take any chances because it has taken so long to get to this point - which I understand, but it is still adding a bit of stress to the whole pregnancy!

jaydensmum - must have been so good to see bubby on the scan. So happy all is progessing well for you.

1sttimemumtobe - glad the malaxos did its thing and hope you are feeling 110% really soon.

Has anyone had their baby on the due date? DS definately had his own agenda and didn't listen to when he was supposed to arrive!

Can't wait until the scan tomorrow but at the same time am so nervous because I am scared that something will be amiss.

[shereejoy]

HOpe you feel better soon Em.

Np Naomi - pic looks so cute....

I am sick this morning and am only normally sick in arvo's/nite. Grrr.... just when Lachlan is going to daycare and I have a million and one things I wanted to achieve this morning.

[shereejoy]

Those levels sound great moosmum. I was concerned about mine for a bit there cause at 4 weeks they were 54, then 6 days later 45 and 2 days later 43. I was concerned they were dropping. But I believe the normal range is between 30-160, so I guess all was good. Well bubs is doing well, so it has to be all good!

[Aysha'sMummy]

I'm going to the hospital i'm still sick even though i have taken my maxalon this morning... everything came back up.... hope they can do something i cant deal with it anymore

[sshellzp]

Hey guys. Ive been having a bit of spotting last night/this morning, only brown at the moment and pretty light so I hope its nothing to worry about. Its just a bit nerve wracking when you have had a mc before. So :fingerscrossed: it doesnt get heavier.

:babydust2: Please Be Sticky Bub :babydust2:

Shell.

[Wy & Deeky]

Hope they can help you out 1stTimeMum and Shell, I had little brown discharge at 6 weeks with this pregnancy, they explained that it was implantation blood letting go as your cervix is closed and it cant escape as easy. It was on and off for 2 weeks. I was concerned too, like you are. Do you have any cramping?

[sshellzp]

Nope, no cramping. But I didnt have any cramping when I had a mc in the middle of the year either.

[shereejoy]

1sttime - hope the hospital can help you.

Shell - I don't mean to alarm you, but I agree with you, they say m/c is cramping and bleeding and I have experienced every type of m/c now, once only brown blood, once nothing, lots of red and clots with lachlan (all was ok), brown and red with this one and all is ok. I could never m/c naturally hence why I guess i never cramped. I don't think we can 2nd guess our bodies, so if you are concerned go and get a referral for a scan. But in saying all of that I do believe generally brown is better then red and if you are around that 6 week mark then Beth is probably right that it is an implantation bleed. I had the same with this pregnancy at late 4 and all of the 5 week mark. Hope all is ok honey. I am sure it is.

[shereejoy]

When is Wyatt's birthday Beth?

[sshellzp]

Im thinking that maybe it is just coz me and Df has sex yesterday. If the blood gets darker or heavier I will get it checked out. Dont think it is implantation bleeding as I am 8 weeks on saturday. Im trying not to stress too much, just hopeing it doesnt get any worse.
Shell.

[Wy & Deeky]

Wy's birthday is tomorrow the 29th :) Hoping that the weather is nice to take him to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary for the day :)

I really hope everything is OK Shell.

[shereejoy]

Well if it is any concellation, we haven't had sex all pregnancy so far (and mainly from my history that I stay clear) and I am still discharging brown and all is ok with our bub. So I am sure that all is fine with yours too.

[sshellzp]

Thanks guys. Im sure all will be fine too.

[shereejoy]

Hopefully I will be on here tomorrow. But if not HAPPY BIRTHDAY WYATT, hope you have a fab day little man.

[Wy & Deeky]

Thanks Sheree :) He's been eagerly counting the sleeps until his birthday.

[alabama]

Happy Birthday Wyatt

Hope u all enjoy ur day!!!!!!!

[shereejoy]

How cute Beth. Did you always plan to have them 3 1/2 years apart?

[alabama]

hey gals

MS is actually afternoon sickness for me,making it harder to do cooking in the evening.
haven't cooked in 10 days now!!!woow

I m going to my dr today. I m probably 7 weeks. not sure b'coz of my cycles so might go for dating scan.Can someone pls tell me is it same as an ultrasound, done abdominally/vaginally, where done in brisbane? and is it alright around this time?

[shereejoy]

Alabama - at 7 weeks they may only be able to do a vaginal scan, but you never know my gyno must have had a super dooper scanner and for the fact he pushed so god dam hard is why he could get it from the outside. Yes it is alright to have a scan at your stage. I had one at 6 weeks 2 days, 7 weeks and 9 weeks 2 days. Hope that is helpful. Not sure where in Brissy sorry, although I will be in Brissy on holidays around my nuchal scan and am going to the Mater.

[alabama]

thanks sheereejoy

[SweetDreams]

40 minutes til ob/gyn appointment and the anxiety is kicking in. :(

[shereejoy]

Oh gl sweetdreams, I am sure all will be fine.

[Wy & Deeky]

How cute Beth. Did you always plan to have them 3 1/2 years apart?

We actually, we only planned on having Wyatt due to the PND I suffered when I had Wyatt. We only decided about 3 months ago that we wanted to give DS a playmate and felt ready to do it again.

I dont think I would have been strong enough to have the gap any closer, so when I see people with a small age gap, I think "Wow, good on them!, I have no idea how they do it!"

3.5 yrs will be a great gap for us :)

Good Luck Sweetdreams, try and relax hun. Let us know how you go.

Alabama, I have had 2 internals this pregnancy due to having a retroverted uterus (Tilts back), but with my first scan with DS at 6 weeks, they could see everything with a normal scan and a full bladder.

[shereejoy]

Good for you Beth.

I was so lucky not to get PND with Lachlan. Wade has such a positive influence on my life and I have a history of depression, so I am so surprised I didn't go there. Lachlan as a baby was really hard with severe reflux and feeding issues where we had to tube feed him for 2 mths when he was 5 months old. He refused my breast/bottle for so so long and it was such a fight! I was stressed to the eyeballs all the time, it was horrible.

[Wy & Deeky]

Oh yep, Wyatt had bad reflux too and I think we managed to survive on 2 hours a day sleep maximum. Still have no idea how we managed to survive LOL! I also has the issues with Breastfeeding, and on top of that, the amount of guilt I recieved from people for not doing it past 2 weeks!

Depression is definately something I would not wish upon my worst enemy!

[shereejoy]

Well I was told by my CHN that I was border line, but she couldn't believe that I didn't have PND. But I am very very glad.

Did Wyatt ever have to have an endoscopy? We are at that stage of needing another one atm with weaning Losec and ensuring he doesn't have reflux anymore!

I hope our next babies are reflux free. I really don't feel like I could go through all that again.....

[shereejoy]

Oh and forgot to mention we still have feeding and sleeping issues with our child. It really never ends does it?

[Wy & Deeky]

We were lucky enough that Wy didn't need one and could treat it without medical procedures. *phew*

We did spend a lot of nights sleeping belly to belly to help ease the pain of the burn on the poor little man.

Oh, Wyatt still doesn't sleep though.... maybe when he starts school?? Here's hoping :laughing:

[jdc07]

Hi everyone!!!!
:smiliedance:Well 9 Weeks today:smiliedance:
Just booked myself in for my first scan on the 19th of december, im soooooooo excited
m/s is not to bad i know its there
i find it really uncomfy now to sleep on my stomach. Yay!!
Good luck to everyone having scans coming up!
:sunshine:

[shereejoy]

Ohhh you were meant to give me some hope Beth. Bugger. We wake up some nights 5-6 times, but on average 2-3 times. Hard to know what is going on alot of the time!

How often does Wyatt wake?

Lachlan also use to power vomit, especially when tube feeding him, he was in hospital over that 2 mth period as they thought something was seriously wrong - he had every test under the sun including a cat scan. It was like a tap you couldn't turn off, it was horrible. But I think it was because his reflux was playing up badly and we were over extending his belly, because when it got really bad he was drinking 10-20ml every 4 hours and then when tube feeding they extended that to 120ml and his little body just couldn't handle it. Lachlan is still only small at 9.3kgs at 18mths old.

[Wy & Deeky]

Power vomit, brings back memories. Wyatt flooded our lounge room one night at 1am. That was a lovely thing to clean up. Poor little guy.

Sorry for busting your bubble hun :( Not my intention, sorry! :(

Wyatt will usually wake once a night now, fingers crossed he has been sleeping through this last week, but he's up at 5am! Sometimes he will wake for a drink or most times, it's becuase he's kicked the blankets off onto the floor.

[fingersx]

Hi Guys

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. You've probably all forgotten who I am. I do log on every day to see how you guys are getting on but rarely get time to post anything with work being so hectic.

Anyway, I'm 8 weeks tomorrow and got another scan on Sat at the fertility clinic and then they will hopefully release me if all is still going well.

My sickness is pretty bad, worse in the afternoon. No actual vomiting but very very close!!!

Wanted to check with you guys if any of you are getting pains and twinges. I'm sure its normal as there is obviously a fair bit going on inside. When I roll over in bed its like a real stretchy pain inside that wakes me up and then today I have a stitch type pain on one side.

Maybe I'm just so paranoid with this being an IVF baby but would be great to get some reassurance.

Hope all well with everyone
Danielle x

[shereejoy]

Def normal Danielle, no wonder you are worried though. Gl with this pregnancy.

Beth - that was a regular occurance for us. 120ml would come all gushing back out at us.

[34me]

Hello ladies:) I am in a better mood today as I just got back from the doctor and my levels are 558! She said Im probably ony 4 and a half weeks not 5 like i thought, so I may be moving to the due in august thread :( more bloods tomorrow and monday and a scan in a week. I hope everyone is well, I am going for a nap and then will come back and read through all the posts :)

[shereejoy]

That is gr8 news 34me. So happy 4 u.

[m2be]

Hi Ladies,

Just read through all the posts - OMG a lot happens when you miss a couple of days!!

34me, sounds like you've had a really topsy turvy couple of days, but sounds like you're on the upside of things now, so I will keep my :fingerscrossed: for you.

I am nervously awaiting the results of this mornings' blood test (hCG) after my spotting last week, however, I am feeling a little better as I haven't had any spotting for 2 days now. Still a few niggly pains, but I understand that these are part and parcel of pregnancy!!

Have been napping a lot, but have had no other real symptoms other than slightly tender boobs!!

Will let you all know how I go when the results are in.

Fi

PS. Happy Birthday to little Wyatt, just in case I don't get to log on tomorrow! happybirthday

[fludo]

Glad to hear everyone's scans are going well. I have a question for those of you who have had a transvaginal scan - does it feel similar to having a pap smear, or better or worse? Got mine booked for Monday!

[shereejoy]

Fludo, how far are you now? You may no need one? Vaginal ultrasound is no way near as bad as a papsmear. I would just say it is embarrasing!

[34me]

WOW alot to reply to!

WyattsMama- Happy Birthday to Wyatt tomorrow Currumbin would be fantastic(Im jealous) I was wondering the same thing about ham too, I was really looking forward to it.

tomsmel-I have had the hugest cravings for seafood especially prawns and seafood extender(which I NEVER eat lol) wish we could have prawns...

1sttimemum2be- I hope you are feeling better and you get some relief from your sickness soon

jaydensmum-What an adorable little bubby! I cant wait til I get a proper picture. Maybe he or she did have a little growth spurt lol.

miamama- hope youre m/s has eased off a bit. I am jealous you get to have baked ham for christmas I want some:hissy: lol

moosmum- Good luck with your scan tomorrow, keep us posted.

sshellzp- Im sure everything will be fine:hugs:

alabama- How did your doctor appointment go?

SweetDreams- Hope all went well at the ob's

fingersx- goodluck for your scan saturday :)

jdc07- good luck for your scan on the 19th!

sheereejoy- thanks for reassuring me:hugs:

m2be- thank you too, how did your blood results go? Any news yet?

fludo- lol I think the vaginal scan is just very weird, I had no pain and only mild discomfort occasionally. I was a bit intimidated by how huge the wand was but she said its mostly the handle:laughing:

I am so exhausted I just cannot sleep lately. I ate a bag of toobs and strawberry milk for lunch today! So healthy I know lol. I counted back to when I most likely conceived and I think I am 5 weeks on friday(which would make sense with the levels etc) making me due on the 1st of August! I guess a scan will tell better. My periods are not very accurate to go off.

Hope everyone is having a good afternoon:hugs:

[SweetDreams]

Glad to hear everyone's scans are going well. I have a question for those of you who have had a transvaginal scan - does it feel similar to having a pap smear, or better or worse? Got mine booked for Monday!

Well I think it felt better (no scraping sensation!!) but it made my legs cramp lol Maybe that was because I was uber anxious!

I'm measuring to date and a heart beat was observed. He told me m/c drops from 20% to 5% with a heart beat. I said the last one had a heart beat too :( Gawd I just gave myself a wave of panic just thinking that. :hissy: So sick of this panic sigh :thumbsdown::banghead::mad::(

[snapcracklepop]

Wow you ladies can talk!!!

Well i went back to the docs today just for a check up.I had more spotting last night, but only when i wipe(TMI). The doctor said that i may have over done it and that i need to take it very easy for the next few weeks. He told me to have bed rest (yeah right with a 2 yr old). He also said no shopping, as it is too much walking. :thumbsdown:

I also got DS looked at and he has hand foot and mouth, :(. He is in soo much pain and all we can do is give him nurofen and teething gel.

happybirthday to Wyatt for tomorrow, if i dont log in. I hope you have a great day.

Kiralee- I hope everything went ok at the doctors today. :hugs:. You poor thing.

[shereejoy]

Libby - yeah I love how doctors say rest, really is impossible with toddlers huh. Oh no at the hand foot and mouth, poor little mite!

Sweetdreams - yay on the scan and bubs is doing well. I too have lost a heart beat, so nothing is a given huh. But hopefully for us this time it is......

[Aysha'sMummy]

Hey everyone,

i'm finally ba
