[Hoping]

Hi Kristy, I'm exactly like you. I find that if I don't eat something when I wake up that I will feel pretty queasy. I have also been going to bed at about 9pm every night but apart from that I have been OK. No other symptoms. I will be 6 weeks by this Thursday.

[Kizmet]

hey everyone! im kate mother of Abigail and 4 weeks pregnant with little...have no idea what we're calling the bump yet :laughing: maybe jus tbump!

Need to confirm everything tomorrow morning but we are so excited :smiliedance:

I havent had any morning sickness yet but with Abby I had it from 6 weeks until 13 weeks so im thinking its just too early yet for it,

I too am totally exhausted! I could sleep all day if I was able to! I cant eat in the morning until about 11 so nowish :laughing: im heading off to buy all my vitamins today then visit the in laws. What vitamins is everyone taking? I took Fabfol last time but am thinking of trying elevit this time.


Looking forward to sharing my journey with you all!

"i shall call him squishy and he shall be mine.. he shall be my squishy.. come here squishy.." :laughing: please tell me someone else knows what im talking about... :ecomcity:

We dont find out the sex so definatly need a nickname to get us through the 9 months... Jacobs nickname was peanut or teeny..:)

[mim_adam]

Hye everyone. I am also 21 i am about 4 weeks pregnant with number 2 my son is 14 months old. We live on the central coast of NSW and my dp is a truck driver and i am a nurse. We also have a puppy named suzie who is ten. Kristy its all good i know exactly what you are talking about and had a little giggle when i read that. I was feeling a little queasy this morning as i got up and fed DS before feeding myself. We had a huge thunder storm here last night and my 10 year corgi was so scared she jumped pretty much on top of me. So funny in hind sight. But what was a surprise that even with all the thunder and lightening ds did not wake up. I am hoping to go for a blood test in the next couple of days. I also have an interview on thursday reagarding nursing jo so hopefully that will go well. I have only told my best friend so far that i am pregnant. Thinking of waiting a little longer to make sure that everything is ok.
Sorry this post has been all over the place. I hope you can make sense of it all. Oh yeah ym name is megan but everyone cals me mim..

[Tinydancer]

Great thread idea goose!!

Well today I'm 4 weeks and 1 day! Starting to get exciting as those lines are getting dark!!!
I'm feeling tired, sore (.)(.), and so very hungry - I'm waking up at 3 or 4 in the morning absolutely famished then by 6/7am I'm eating lunch lol!!!

Goose - I called my nephew squishy as he looked like a jellyfish in the ultrasound scans.... sometimes i still call him that lol. Its a cute name!! Unfortunatley since it has been used on my nephew im going to have to come up with a new one for my munchkins....... pumpkin, mini me...... ill come up with something lol.

I also seem to be suffering that preggie brain that everyone talks about.......... im usually a daydreamer but the last week ive been rediculously vague.......

Despite the fact that we promised not to tell anyone till 12 weeks ive told my parents and 4 friends. So far they have done a good job of keeping it secret lol. I just dont want work to know, the people I have told are my support network good or bad so its good that they know. Plus one would guess why im not having a glass of wine or 3 on the weekend........

Oh my names Renee, im 22 and live and work with my fiancee in a mining town.

Great to get to know you all!!

[mumof2angels]

Now that ive found out im expecting I have been so hungry I just want to eat all the time, when im not eating i feel nausea and tired. Im just about to make pad thai for dinner yummie!! And im sure 1/2 hr after i eat ill be hungry again. I wonder if its gonna be a girl I was the same with their pregnancies eat ,eat ,eat eat!!!

Well im gonna go and
...

yep u guessed it
EAT!!!!!!!!

[HoneyBlossom]

Well i am pretty exhausted today, after working all day and coming home to spend time with the family. All i feel like doing is sleeping.

I'm currently pregnant with #3. I will be 6 weeks on Friday.

I need to start eating breakfast as i never eat it, so i am feeling sick when i get to work and have to buy something.

Hopfully the morning sickness isn;t like the other two pregnancies, i had it for all 9 months.

I done a ring test and a needle and thread test, which was quite interested. The ring said i was having a boy, and the needle test said i would have 3 children, 2 girls (which i have) and a boy..

So :fingerscrossed: it is right. But i don't mind as long as it is healthy.

[mim_adam]

Hey mummy of 2. How you do the needle and thread thing. and the ring thing. I always forget which way each swings and how do you tell which one is for this pregnancy.

[HoneyBlossom]

well when my friend done it she said its circle its a boy and swings its a girl. She done it on on herself and it was right.

The ring one is, your get your wedding band on a piece of hair or string, hold it above you stomach and it should swing or circle.

The needle one i'm not sure as it confused me.

I will ask her to write it down for me and i will pop it here.

[Kizmet]

Ok if the ring test is right im having a boy :smiliedance: we will find out in 16 weeks though:fingerscrossed: as DD crossed her legs so we couldnt see :laughing:

I feel so ill today-not the desire to physically be sick but Just like its not far off. Damn I was hoping i'd get off lightly with this pregnancy and have no morning sickness lol Wishful thinking I know!

I also am utterly exhausted! I have had two nana naps today and am still buggered! For some reason DD has decided to not sleep when she normally goes to bed at 7 every night (DH let her stay up last night until I got out of bed and put her to bed at 10:30 so she thinks this is a good game now :no: ). I need to be asleep im holding my eyelids open with match sticks here lol

Hope everyone else is feeling a bit better than me

[goose]

:barf: :barf: :barf:

Feeling great... :rolleyes:

[mim_adam]

Hey evyone thanks for the ring test. I think i am having a girl but maybe it just wishful thinking. I am feeling a bit tired today. Dp was snoring last night and couldnt get to sleep. Plus i think i am coming down with something as my throat is sore. Kizmet i hope morning sickness isnt too horrible to you and only lasts a short amount fo time.

[Kizmet]

goose :hugs: I hope the morning sickness eases up!

thanks Mim! When I was preg with DD I had morning sickness every morning without fail from 6 and a half weeks until smack on 13 weeks. I also had a shocking gag reflex so every time I tried to take my vitamins I would be sick about 6 times! It started to be a little that way this morning but i managed to keep it down thankfully!


I just was chasing after DD and pulled my groin :gloomy: am feeling so sorry for myself but DD turns 1 today so im very happy, proud and a little sad :smiliedance:

Hopw everyone else is feeling well!

[goose]

hope abi had a great day kate.. happybirthday

I feel ok once ive eaten.. cept this morning i didnt eat soon enough which is why i felt ill and then had to force myself to while feeling sick...

So ill make sure i eat as soon as i get up and all will be fine..
last time mine stopped bang on 12 weeks kate..

hope everyone else is feeling good..

[8thMarch2006]

Hi. I had morning sickness last time from 2 weeks through to seven and a half months! It wasn't too bad in the mornings, but got worse until I crawled into bed at the end of the day, spinning like I'd just had a bottle of scotch!

So far, so good!
Very tired, indegestion fairly bad, off with the pixies, but not too bad all up.

I can't stop eating banana on toast and chocolate milkshakes, same as last time!

Anyway, I was planning on introducing myself and stuff, but I am sooo tried and my DH just managed to put DS down, so beddy by times for me!:sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping:

[Kizmet]

Today I went and met DH for lunch and we walked to othe post office in the boiling hot sun-i had worn a long sleeved shirt :rolleyes: and I felt like i was going to pass out! I am now utterly exhausted! I still havent got back into the drinking 2 litres of water a day habit yet but i really need to! so ar im managing about 1.2 litres or 1.8 litres but I need that bit extra! today proves it!

Felt more sick this morning but still no morning sickness as such thankfully!

Hows everyone else going in this heat?

[mim_adam]

Hye everyone.
Well i was eating conrflakes which made me feel like i was tring to eat cardboard and could really swallow it properly. Oh i took ym vitamins at lunch time and almost gagged on half an elevit. Otherwise today hasnt been too bad could do with a good night sleep been so hungry latelly.

[EcstaticEm]

:wave: everyone, my name is Emma and I am 4 weeks and 1 day (thereabouts!) Preg with Beany! 6 years in the making, finally came to us naturally!!!! Im very very excited/nervous/excited!!!

so far symptom wise

Stressed, but still excited. Boosies sore on and off, mostly on, but I get scared when they are not, so I squish untill they are again:o

AF cramps, but diff, more along the pubic bone, or above belly buttin. some sharp, but mostly achy.. sort of like constipation pain..

Twisties taste like dirt.

Tired! could sleep all day!

Im very nervous of dislodging my beany.. hate coughing, sneezing.. soooo paranoid that he/she will fall out:o

But mainly, just damn grateful to see the + preg tests!!!! (HCG 83.6 at 13DPO waiting to see the rise!:fingerscrossed: )

[Kizmet]

Hey Emma :wave: I think now I can well and truely claim my preggy brain as I only just realised you used to be anxiousEm :laughing: :rolleyes:

I went shopping with my nana today and took her to a doctors appt I was exhausted and she doesnt know tha I am pregnant as we opted to not tell anyone until either after the ultrasound or after 12 weeks just to make sure. It was so hard keeping it from her!

Every 5 minutes DH asks me when he can tell his brother as well-bless his cotton socks hes so excited!

I have been feeling more ill every morning so I dont think MS is too far away. I was having bad stabbing pains in my tummy last night so was a bit scared but they stopped so phew!

Well im off for my afternoon nana nap! take care everyone :hugs:

[4tiggers]

Ecstaticem, I feel the same about my onboard cargo. Hate coughing, sneezing etc. Soooo worried it will decide the ride is not to nice and leave:rolleyes: . I was thinking today that beany is a good temp name for bubs. I will have to think of something else :D .

I have been off to bed about 9.00 at night and dh complained today that I am not watching tv and talking like usual. I am lucky that I dont end up in bed at 7.00, sooooo tired. He will have to get used to it, I think I will only get worse. Nausea on and off through the day doesnt help either.

[Kez872]

Hi everyone, My name is Kerrie im 34 been married for 16years and live in blacktown nsw i have 3girls and 1boy.

With number 5 on the way im very nervous:yes: ....... because i dont wont morning sickness, as i suffered with the last 2 pregs ALL DAY sickness from 6weeks untill birth.To make things worse i worked 4days a week untill 36weeks with last DD, i worked in a small newsagent and i was the only one there, so when i had to spew:barf: had no choice but to use a plastic bag...the drive home was the same (just brought a new car).

So far i feel nothing but hungry :thumbsup: that is different already so :fingerscrossed: its a boy.!
Kez

[HoneyBlossom]

well the last two days have been scary, (for those who have read my thread abit scared)

But today i had a blood test and get the results on Monday..

Today i have been feeling really good, no cramps which is good.

Bubs isn't to sure on Bacon and eggs, but loves pizza.

Hope all of you November mummies are doing well.

[Kizmet]

[HoneyBlossom]

oh babe :hugs: i know we dont know each other well but im here for you if you need anything ok! :hugs: I have everything possible crossed for you :fingerscrossed:

Thank you... just trying to stay really positive
:hugs:

[Tinydancer]

Hey everyone

Mummyof2........ im sure everything will be fine, its unbelievably common to have scares in pg, my heart goes out to you, that sort of worry is not nice at all!!!

Well ive been tired and seedy, like ive had a late night and a few beers (I wish), I had a few friends over on friday night and ended up sending them packing at 10.30.......... which is unlike me!!!

Ive been craving peanut butter on toast (or fresh bread) with eggs on top........ only problem is that the smell of cooking eggs makes me wanna :barf: . Thinking about eating it makes me feel sick but eating it is divine......... this baby is very strange.........

I should get my HCG levels in about 15 mins, its making me very nervous!!!! Hope that all is ok....... though the way that ive been feeling is a good indication lol.

I bought a fisher price papasan cradle swing on the net yesterday for $225. bargain!! Cant wait for that to show up!!! Ive bought my wall borders and stickarounds too (winnie the pooh theme) for the nursery, cant wait till that gets here so i can start decorating!!!

Heres hoping all our sticky babies are all growing and sticking well!!!!!

Take care everyone!!!

And em - im still excited to see your BFP!!! :smiliedance:

[luckymama]

OMG Renee, you are pregnant!!!!! i havent seen you on MSN for ages. WOW congrats :smiliedance: :smiliedance: :smiliedance: :smiliedance:

[Tinydancer]

:D Thank you K, if I wasnt feeling so sick id be bouncing off the walls lol :D

Still waiting for the HCG results........ waiting waiting..............

Oh did I mention........ Im getting a scan in 2 weeks :smiliedance: I was fully prepared to beg and grovel for the scan but alas, the doctor suggested that we have one early, now i like him even more :D . I couldnt bear to wait for another 8 weeks to make sure that bubbie is ok!!!!

Hope everyone is having a great day!!!

[luckymama]

YAY for scans, they are so exciting, i have had 4 already :D and i have the big one 17/4. I am so happy for you Renee :smiliedance:

[goose]

So how is everyone else feeling...

i posted this in the other thread but will also post here...

Up until this point it has just been feeling extremely queasy and sick but not actually throwing up.. up until a few minutes ago.. :o
I just :barf: but now i feel great..

I actually much rather just get it over with and throw up than have the continual feeling of sickness...
Does that make any sense?? hope it does and i hope im not weird.. lol :o

Hope everyone else is feeling well..

Kristy
:hugs:

[kaybee]

It's kinda freaking me out, that I don't really have any symptoms, although it is early days. Just my bbs feel heavier, and tummy cramps. (feel like I'm imagining these!)
Seem to be weeing alot more today, is that a symptom (have been drinking a lot of H2O as I'm v.thirsty)? No morning sickness at all. Which I thought I would get, as it's about having low blood sugar, which I suffer from sometimes due to my fast metabolism. Need to eat every couple of hours or feel crappy.

Hope everyone is feeling okay today.

[Roxy76]

Did anyone find themselves feeling quite hot early on? my skin feels so warm...

and yesterday and today have had headaches..

guess this is part of it...

but other than that, this month is the one i didn't really get any symptoms, was ironic huh!!!

[MrsX]

I have been so thirsty, have really bad headache, tired, grumpy etc. Must be lots of fun to live with :p No actual sickness here though so I am a bit worried. The dr said that its a good thing & to enjoy it cause it may come along when I least expect it.

Hope your all well :hugs:

[Hoping]

Hi gals. I haven't posted for a couple of weeks. Just a few personals.

Kez872: Me too. I also live in Blacktown as well. Moved there a couple of years ago.

want2haveabub: I went late night shopping last night and just kind of floated toward the baby section. I was awwing and ahhing over all the cute baby things that we need to buy, but DH brought me back to my senses when he said that it might be a little early to buy anything yet! :laughing:

Kaybee and MrsX: Don't worry. I was like you and didn't have any symptoms, which made me worry as everyone was going on about feeling tired and being sick etc. For the past week (I am about 7 weeks now) I have been feeling queasy ALL DAY, stuffy rooms make me gag and I wish that I hadn't hoped for some sign that I was pregnant! I would rather be like you gals and not have any ms than to feel like I want to barf all day long :barf:

All: I had my viability scan yesterday which showed my piglet growing happily. We saw its heart as well, which was an amazing sight...143bpm...which we were told was right on track. Only thing is that piglet is a little small for its age...measured at 6 weeks 4 days when I am supposed to be about 7 weeks now. Have our first OB appointment on Tuesday. Not sure what to expect as this is our first bub.


Hope everyone has a good weekend.

[kaybee]

Yeh I think I spoke too soon! This morning felt v. queasy and light headed, haven't actually :barf: though.

Still feeling a bit off and very very tired.

Roxy - I have been feeling hot at night too this week. But I'm okay during the day.

[4tiggers]

You girls with no m/s are so lucky. We have done ivf for this bub and I feel so blessed to be pregnant but feel so :barf: all day and night that I havent got that excited feeling that I want and had with the last bub (although we m/c that angel). Hope you are all resting heaps.

[EcstaticEm]

Roxy, Def got hot!! Chris reckons that was his first hint. He likes to snuggle with me at night, cause I get hot skin, but he said I was too hot.

Oh Renee!!! We will be having our scans close together!!!

I am still getting sore boobs, feel a bit queazy everynow and then, but nothing major. Smells are Ewwwww! food starting to taste a bit weird. But mainly.. Ive been getting very very :devil6: Its like I could honestly Kill people for the smallest things.. Also, cant stay awake after 8.30! OMG, I am missing soooo much Bad TV!

Kaybee - def get the cramps.. sary and owie combined. Dont be too worried bout lack of symptoms (Like I can talk:o ) Fuller boosies and cramps were 1st noticable signs on my end.

[mim_adam]

Hey everyone the last couple of days the tiredness and queasyness has set in. So i now feel pregnant i was starting to thinki wouldnt get morning sickness then it started. I ahve my first 2 weeks fomr today and i cant wait to see the little bubba.. I think i could sleep all day if i had a chance. Well sorry for the lack of personals but it is just way too hot in this room.

[Kyahli]

Hello everyone,
Let me introduce myself as i am new to this thread( have been hiding in october till scan today!) My name is Nyki and i have my DP Mark( though not living together at this point in time, soon to be i hope) and my nearly 6 year old son Kaelum(previous relationship).
I am expecting(hoping for a little pink one) in november also. it has been a long long time since i have been pregnant and feeling like this is not the best at all!!! With Kaelum i had alot of problems and just want a normal fantastic pregnancy with no troubles:fingerscrossed:

i am queezy, hot, exhausted, b!tchy, and just totally not me. the m/s isnt the best at all and i hate it!!! though atleast i know she/he is growing and all good!!! ( after scare last week i was stressing HEAPS!!!!)

How is everyone else feeling???

[Kizmet]

hi everyone

I am buggered! just a quick post as DD has screamed her lungs out all day and is finally asleep so im heading off for a nap as well.

Is anyone else scared of eating?i am so scared of eating and only nibble on things because everything makes me feel so sick :barf: will be back on later for personals!

[goose]

Im the opposite kate as eating makes me feel much much better.. so i am grazing all day.. if i dont eat for around an hour or two i feel awful..

[Roxy76]

Im the opposite kate as eating makes me feel much much better.. so i am grazing all day.. if i dont eat for around an hour or two i feel awful..

that is how i was today! was queasy and dizzy, and had to eat every couple of hours to get rid of it, but it still kinds hung around, even now!

[MrsX]

I have been feeling really dizzy lately also. And my headache is still there :( oh well, it happens.

On the eating, I found when pg with my daughter that if I ate little bits all day, then I wouldnt feel sick.

Have a big day out today so will see how we go. My daughter has been off color for the last few days & is such a mummy's girl. Its getting frustrating as she wont even go near DH.

Take care ladies :hugs:

[goose]

Jacob has been the same lately mrs x..(lol its such a sneaky and mysterious name.. makes me giggle every time i read it even though i know who you are...;) )
Very clingy and majorly preferring me over my dp no matter how much my dp trys to take him to give me a bit of space.. Wonder if they can sense something???

He is getting better at not jumping on me and my stomach.. i just tell him gentle of mummys tummy squishy(bubs nickname) is in there... you dont want to squash him/her.. And he pretty good with it.. will take a while but i think once there is a change is the size of my tummy he will take more notice..

Its prob not doing any damage but it scares me that it will, maybe im being paranoid...:o

Still eating quite often to keep the queasiness away.. only actually :barf: once so far so im happy with that..

My waiste is appearring thicker but its prob just bloated and full from snacking so often..

Well thats it from me.. hope everyone else is feeling well and looking after themselves..

Kristy
:hugs:

[HoneyBlossom]

well last night the started feeling quite sick.. Tried to eat and it didn't make it feel any better. So i ate a bowl of vegies and started feeling good.

Still have soreness in the boobs, and the girls dont understand you can't push on them..

My youngest keeps asking Mummy is the baby okay...

Hope everyone else is good

[mim_adam]

Hey everyone the ms has kicked in over here and have been feeling completely exhausted and yuck. Hvaent beeen sick yet but i am sure it will happen one day. I ahve my first scan on the 30th of march and found out today that DP couldnt come as 2 guys where already off work i really want him to be there. My best friend is come with me. I am wondering if i should take my 14 month old son with me. Anyone with any experience with this. Its only a dating scan so shouldnt take too long. I think i might go and have a lay down. Hope everyone is well

[Roxy76]

i am still having the dizziness and queasiness and also hot flushes kinda thing.

i am actually going through a freak out stage, hoping it will all be ok. each time i feel discharge (sorry if TMI), I go to loo to make sure not blood..silly i know, but now that it has kinda sunk in i am pregnant, i so want it to stick! and realising i am only 4 weeks has made me a little paranoid.

but other than the above, i feel fantastic!!!!!!!!!

not sure how it all works, but i am going to try and get into the doc on monday. will they do a blood test to confirm? and will they then give me a referral to get an ultrasound done for dating scan?

thanks for help on questions

when do i have to pick an ob ( i have private health cover) and hospital?

man, so much to learn and know..very overwhelming huh! :eek: :laughing:

[Kizmet]

hey roxy, when I went they did a blood test to confirm but that was purey because I couldn't perform for a urine test :laughing:

Have no idea about an Ob as we are going public but I am thining i need to sort out my hospital pretty soon. When I had DD in march it was a pretty busy time in the hospital so :fingerscrossed: November is pretty quiet although there's a lot of us in the thread so maybe not.

Well, it has officially started. I have morning sickness. DD and I normally have a bit of a sleep in until 8-8:30 yet it is 6am and i have been up for an hour. I felt queasy last night and just couldnt settle-i couldnt eat dinner as I wasnt hungry and the thought of it made me want to be sick. So by 11-12ish I managed to force myself to bed and to sleep. I'm sure it didnt help that DH has been at work since 9am yesterday morning and wont be home til 3pm this afternoon-i dont like sleeping alone in bed :no:

Anyway at about 5 this morning I woke up and had a massive tummy ache and felt so ill. I thought it felt a bit different to the normal sick feeling i have all day but did deep breathing and sipped lemonade trying to settle my tummy. Aftr 2 times running to the bathroom (down the other end of he house past dd's room) with such bad diarroeah (sp?) on the third trip I knew it was morning sickness time. I just am kicking myself I didnt eat anything before hand-even a biscuit as being sick when there is nothing to bring up is so painful and horrendous.

Anyway feeling a bit sore , sad and sorry for myself but now i finally 'feel' pregnant :smiliedance:

im going to try to get mysef back to sleep

take care everyone

[goose]

We aren't having a dating scan this time as we know the dates.. but if you are unsure then yes the doc will get you a referal.. i did have a blood test to confirm but mainly to check all my other levels.. just a the doctor thought (and was the same with jacob) ive had to take extra iron tablets..

I go public but when i went to the doctors two weeks ago (a week after my blood test) he booked me into the hospital (kemh) as i am considered high risk when it comes to ultrasounds as it was on my 19 week ultrasound when jacob was diagnosed with a puj obstruction and as a result need his operations and what not.. it is not a genetic thing so it is very slim that this bub will have it but they would rather thouroly check.. and want me at the same hospital... :fingerscrossed: all will be well for a happy healthy bub and i will not need the "high risk" label..

My doctor also gave me the referals for my 10 week bloods and my 12 week ultrasound.. he expected it to be a while for the hospital to get back to me and asked to see me at 13 weeks.. but i recieved all my info from the hosp 5 days later.. speedy huh so im already booked in..

Its all a bit confusing but your doc will sort most of it out for you.. As to going private hopefully one of the other ladies can shed some light on it for you...

Hope you start feally better kate.. As hard as it is try to force yourself to nibble on something small.. hopefully it will help..

:hugs: to everyone
Kristy

[Kyahli]

Hi everyone,
I am hearing everyone with the m/s!! just try and eat even just s little and it should help. DP bought me some ginger cordial stuff that i can mix with lemonade and that seems to settle it a little. but if it isnt coming out one end its coming out the other(TMI< sorry!) Also suffering from the dizzyness and the headaches. been sipping on just cold water just about everyday and seems to help the headaches a little though i dont want to take anything at this early stages. Oh, and the sore bbs!!! not good!
I had my second scan on friday and saw little heartbeat and everything. it was amazing and really hit home that there is something in there!!! there isnt much of a belly yet though!!
Are most of us first timers or on our second time around?
there is a big gap between #1 and this one, i hope that is a good thing!!!
hope all is feeling sick yet enjoy it as we know that bubs is growing!!!

[goose]

Are most of us first timers or on our second time around?
A few 1st timers.. some 2nd timers.. a couple of 3rd timers.. and a 5th timer i believe..
Have a look at the due dates thread at the list on the first page and it will tell you there.. :)

[Harmony83]

I am finally confirmed!! Yay so excited!! Im due on the 16 November and am currently 5 weeks pregnant!
I am only just starting to get symptons, although I have been feeling completely exhausted for the past week! My boobs are starting to feel a bit heavy, and I feel pretty queazy especially if I dont eat! Im a little worried about how I will cope with M/S this time around with a 2 year old! But others have done it before me so Ill live!!

My doctor asked me to come back to the Docs around May 9th to get a referal to the hospy, is that pretty normal I can't remember!! I guess when I get booked in to the hospital Ill have an ultrasound then???
Hope everyone else is doing fanstasticly!!!

[MrsX]

i am still having the dizziness and queasiness and also hot flushes kinda thing.

i am actually going through a freak out stage, hoping it will all be ok. each time i feel discharge (sorry if TMI), I go to loo to make sure not blood..silly i know, but now that it has kinda sunk in i am pregnant, i so want it to stick! and realising i am only 4 weeks has made me a little paranoid.
I do the exact same thing :o I always think the worst, especially after having a mc last time.

My headaches are still there & my sense of smell is getting really sensative again. I opened a jar of garlic (which I love) but it made me gag so I had to leave the room :o Also while eating dinner tonight I started to feel really sick.

Another thing that is annoying me is sleep. I am so tired but cant seem to settle. I go to sleep & if I wake I just cant go back to sleep. Its very frustrating.

I will be having more blood tests done this week some time to check levels so :fingerscrossed: its all good. I will also be going for a dating scan soon as I only had 1 AF between the mc & now so not sure on dates etc.

:hugs: to all.

Hi everyone

I have just found out that I am 6 weeks pregnant and due on the 9th 11. This is my first baby and I am feeling REALLY sick all the time, is anyone else feeling like this?

I quit my job a couple of months ago to have a break and as luck would have it I am now pregnant and the last thing I can face is going for interviews and starting a new job feeling like this!!

Im also feeling quite nervous as to what to expect with check ups and things like that...any advice?

Thanks
Moops

[Kizmet]

hey moops welcome to the club :smiliedance: look forward to sharing your journey with you and we're due on the same day!

news just in - I woke up at 7 this morning which is early here as I get up when DD gets up which is abotu 8:30 :o anyway I woke up sat up and no queasy feeling so i thought I better get ome vegemite toast into me before I get out of bed because after I get that queasy feeling i find it hard to eat as everything i eat comes back up again . So ive just had 2 count em 2 pieces of vegemite toast and i'm fine :smiliedance: so far so good! trying not to jynx myself so im not moving from this spot until i have to so the toast has no excuse to come back up


huzzah for a break from MS!!

[MrsX]

Welcome to the club Moops :hugs:

Lucky you Kate :p I have been queazy all morning :p Though I still manage to eat breaky. My eyes are going funny again though, cant focus on anything for more than 2 minutes :confused:

[Kyahli]

Morning everyone,
still feeling queezy here. hate getting up and dry reachin when there is nothing in my stomach!!! yesterday i had the worst headaches though havent got it yet today!!
exhausted though, i had a sleep yesterday afternoon and still was yawning my head of by 7pm. And my bbs are growing(yay) only have a cup so will be weird actually having something there!! pmsl!!!:p
My pants are starting to be tight at the end of the day(bloating) anyone else bloated??

7 weeks 1 day!! have to organise hospital appointment and start organising all that sort of thing!! I am so excited about being preg, just dont want anything to happen:fingerscrossed:

I have a HUGE gap between kaelum who will be 6 in may and this bub, I just hope that he will be very helpful(just get one off to school and look what happens!!!)

What does everyone have planned for the week??
Hope that we are feeling sick(that is GOOD thing remember)!!!

[EcstaticEm]

Welcome Moops!!!!

Boosies are still sore, still tired. But mainly, scared. Is fear a big part of early preg for most 1st timers?? (Roxy I def still check my CM every toilet trip, even before this doc app!) hypersensitive about everything.

I got some test results my doc was a bit concerned about. HCG not doubling everyday (though, google seems to think every 48 hours is fine) So we are being told to wait for the scan, hope for the best but expect the worst.
So so sooooooooo scared. cant belive I have to wait 8 days to know if beany is O.K. :fingerscrossed:

[goose]

Is fear a big part of early preg for most 1st timers??Well for me as a first timer i wasnt.. but i didnt know any better..
I got preg easily on the pill and i was 19 and hadnt ever been on this site or others so i just assumed i was young healthy everything would be fine so i never worried..

But now im on bubhub and ive realised that it doesnt matter how young/old you are and now i know how commen m/c is im scared this time...

Call me stupid or whatever but i guess sometime not knowing has its benefits...

Kristy

[Moops]

Hi everyone

Thanks for welcoming me so warmly to this forum. As I said earlier I am currently living in London but hail from sunny Brisbane and am feeling homesick more than ever during this time. I don't have too many friends here and although my partner is amazing I could do with some girlfriends right now!

It's nice to be able to be in contact with mums to be who are going through the same thing from the same country!

EcstaticEm I know exactly what you're going through I am constantly worried that something is going to go wrong and i cant actually picture myself with a little baby at this stage, as much as I want him/her it just doesnt seem real! I haven't been for my first checkup yet and im really worried that something will be wrong with the baby or me - is that abnormal??

After being diagnosed with PCOS i thought my chances of conceiving were very slim then low and behold I got those magical two lines!

Just wondering when everyone felt it was safe to tell their families and friends?

Moops

[4tiggers]

EcstaticEm, every site on the internet about hcg levels says doubling every 48 to 72 hours is normal. Hopefully bub is doing well. Waiting 8 days is hard but no stressing, bubs doesnt need it.

Kyahli, I am 7 weeks and am bloated around my belly button area. Is it normal. That is the only thing that makes me look pregnant, seems very weird.

kizmet, hopefully ms stays away for you. It must be a nice break.

Moops, We havent told anyone yet. I had a m/c at 8 weeks a few months ago so I am waiting till a scan at about 10 weeks before I tell family.

[Moops]

Thanks 4Tiggers!

I've got a question and it will probably seem totally naive but when do you normally have a first scan/checkup?

The UKis notoriously lax about these sorts of things and I fear that they have booked my in too late. I am 6 weeks and I think my first appointment will be around 8-10 weeks, I worry that this is too late...shall i push for an earlier appointment?

[Kyahli]

4Tiggers, yeah i think that the bloating is normal as everything will start to be getting pushed up to make room for the growing little one!!
Moops, If you are quering dates or anything like that your doctor will give you referal to have a scan before 12 weeks, other wise you wait till then.

I have told close family and friends as if the support is needed i will have it. though NOTHING is going to go wrong with this bub!!!:fingerscrossed: My partner is estatic as it is due on his birthday!!! Kaelum was born a week after my 18th so having this one so close to his birthdays is weird!!!
I am more scared also with this one, had a scare 2 weeks ago, though was light and was nothing, and also loosing one before and also so many problems with kaelum when i was pregnant with him. just be careful, you know your body and you know what is different if anything happens...

:hugs: to everyone

[mim_adam]

Hey everyone,

Moops welcome and we are due on the same day. In regards to scan i have ym first one at 8 weeks for dating purposes and my first midwives appointment at almost 11 weeks so 8-10 weeks sound pretty normal. I ahvent told many people about being pregnant yet as i want to wait to i see the heart beat and know that things will look a lot better after that. I have morning sickness at the moment and wish it would go away.. But its not too bad and i can live through it.

Hope everyone is feeling well and growing helathy bubs and i will be back on a little later

[MrsX]

Does anyone else have a constant back ache??? My back has been killing me for days & its just not getting any better :(

[EcstaticEm]

:hugs: 's & Thanks everyone for the reassurance and honesty. Trying hard to not stress as much, and mind over matter is working for now!

X, I get back ache on and off, sort of like mild period pain, think its ligiments stretching.

I told my family straight away, and Chris his.
We are so excited to have beany on board, and so happy, I had to tell! We want them to be able to celabrate too. with whats going on right now, I was really worried, but like chris said.. we will need their support, no matter what happens. That said, I dont blame people for wanting to wait.. :hugs:

Been eating like a horse today!

[Roxy76]

had my blood tests today, they took 5 tubes!!! lol and i had worked up myself for nothing! it didn't even hurt, my blood just poured out and the lady said the colour of my blood was really great!! got to wait till thursday appointment to get reults! i hate waiting LOL but gotta do it!! getting tested for soooo many things!!

i am feeling really well!! still have sore bbs on and off, plus getting reflux after i eat. little hot flush dizzy moments every now and again, but nothing that is bothering me that much!!

i keep checking when i wipe everytime i go to loo, got to stop doing that LOL

anyone else getting relfux?

i am so excited!!!!!!!!!! i keep talking to my bub and keep spinning out that they are growing in me...freaky!!

[mummy2sophie]

Hello! I'm pregnant with bump. We're calling it Apple seed at the moment...we think the constant comparison of the foetus/embryo size with fruit is so ridiculous that we're calling bump whatever size fruit it is.

So that's why it's Apple seed. I like Squishy though - that describes my stomach at the moment. Can't wait till the pop when it gets all hard...gotta be the only time in my life when I have a hard tummy! :thumbsup:

My name is Sarah, I'm 30 and I have a 12 month old Sophie. Don't know how some of you are doing it with 2 kids already and working too!!

[Moops]

[quote=Roxy76;1233617]had my blood tests today, they took 5 tubes!!!

Hi Roxy76

I feel the same way Im yet to have any blood tests and I have a serious phobia about them! I hate having them done but more so Im worried they will find something wrong with me that will affect the bub - did u feel like this??

[Harmony83]

I had my blood test today, not pleasant but not painful! I was a bit distracted by my 2yo son trying to get into everything so maybe thats why it didn't hurt!! Still haven't been hit with bad m/s yet, I had it real bad with DS but at the moment I just feel a bit queazy when I get out of bed and if I don't eat for a while! I hope it stays like that!
Is anyone else constantly hungry??? I had a pretty big dinner tonight, and about half hour later I was famished again!! I am hungry all day long! i am trying not to stuff my face too much, because thats how I put on 2 dress sizes with DS, but Im not starving myself either, mainly munching on fruits and dry crackers!
I have been soooo tired lately, I haven't been to the gym for about a week now because I just feel too exhausted, I know I really need to make an effort to go and if I go it might give me some energy, but its just so dam hard!! Poor DS has the most boring mum at the moment, I'll have to put more effort into to playing with him, I feel so guilty, anyone else feel guilty about not being as active with their kidlets??

[Kyahli]

Hey Everyone,
Would you all stop stressing!!! i know that is hard, though stress is no good for the bumps that we is carrying and growing!!! If it is meant to be it will be and we need to accept that. just dont go doing anything totally stupid!!!

Harmony, I know how you feel and dont feel guilty as it is still special time that you spend with them even if it is chilling watchin a movie or readin a book or something relaxing and not as strenous(sp). I pushed myself to go for a ride on my horse this morning and i felt alot better for doing it, though yeah i do feel totally exhausted, we still need to go for a walk or just do something active!! And yeah i feel like i am grazing all day, just little bits, though always looking for something to eat!!!
Mummy2sophie, Hi!!! congratulations and good luck with everything!!!

Anyhow, I am still feeling queezy though not as bad today. as i stated above, i put kaelum on the bus this morning and went for a ride. it was great to just get out of house and adventuring, though gets warm quickly!!! Now have to come back and do the house work!! lots of fun, though smell of dishes doesnt agree with me at the moment!!! :gloomy: i couldnt keep last nights tea down though i think that i ate too much anyhow and felt extremely full, then yeah, well you know the rest!!!

Anyone bought anything yet???

[AliyahBlake]

Hi to all my November buddies!! Thought I'd better pop in and say hello (would have done it a few days ago but I've been away). Well, I'm expecting bubby no. 2 on around 18th Nov (which makes me 5 and a bit weeks). I have a 2 1/2 yr old daughter, Aliyah, who has already put her request in for a baby "bruva" (hubby would like a boy too, but I'll be happy with whichever, as long as it's healthy and has all the right bits and pieces!)
So far things are ok, just the sore boobs, a bit of a twinge in the lower abdo every now and then, and very regular trips to the loo. The tiredness is really kicking in, but I'm not finding it as bad as with my first pregnancy, because since I've had Aliyah, I've been constantly tired anyway! No morning sickness yet (m/s didn't kick in til week 7 with Aliyah) but I did have a Big Mac yesterday which sat very heavily in my stomach for about 5 hours, so I probably won't do that again. No cravings, just HUNGRY!!!!! I'm a bit grouchy too, but no worse than when I have PMS.
Anyway, that's where I'm up to. I'll go to my GP on Thursday to get everything confirmed etc (but I think 2 :bfp: 's are pretty good!).
Good to see you all, and I'm sure I'll be chatting to you all a fair bit over the next 8 months. :)

[EcstaticEm]

Boosies still sore, Starting to get the queasy's every now and then. :smiliedance: Still getting headaches most days So I am trying to up my water intake. Here everyone on the tired! Ive been bed no later than 8.30 since 4 weeks 5 days!

Stressing Less, Kyahli, I get what you mean about acceptance, and stress being bad for bubs, But Im still a firm beliver of better out that in. I stressed my heart out yesterday, and feel a heck of a lot better for it today. I know If I had not "freaked out" I would have stressed Bubs more holding all the fear in. So Strss away IMO - But try not to live in that moment. its all to freaking Exciting to Stress all the time!!!

Ohh, Ive been having some, like, Popping feelings near my Bellybutton.. Sort of feelis like the way ricebubbles sound. Not painful at all, just odd! anyone else getting that?

[Roxy76]

Afternoon girls! How u going?

Today I am 4w 3 days and feel fantastic!! I am such high energy! What is bizarre is i am only 17DPO, feels like it should be longer LOL

I go to the docs for my blood test results Thursday morning, and can't wait to find out about my HCG levels!! I was curious to check all is good so did another test this morning and the second line is just about same colour and first line - HOW COOL IS THAT! makes me feel so relieved knowing things are moving in the right direction! :thumbsup:

still getting little acid reflux, and little queasy :( sometimes before and after eating. Bb pain still every now and again. BUT I just feel so awesome! I think it is because I am so happy and over the moon to be pregnant, that it is just floating me in the sky! I am so excited!! :smiliedance:

I still keep checking when I wipe at the toilet, when will that stop? LOL

Well, I am now off to ready all the posts!

hope everyone is well :hugs:

[mummy2sophie]

Feeling MUCH better today. Very little m/s - I convinced DP that I am heaps better when he gets DD up and me breakfast in bed. So he's going to keep doing it like he did with DD!! It does make me feel sooooo much better so if you ladies can convince partners to do the same you might feel better too.

I actually made it to the gym today and did my full pregnancy workout. :smiliedance:


Such a difference...yesterday I could barely do any chores and felt close to chucking all day long.

Harmony: I definitely feel guilty that I'm spending less time with DD. It's kinda like my cat when DD came along. I met Dr Harry and he said that the cat had to have a huge adjustment when baby came along as she was used to so much attention!

So, like the cat, I'm aware that DD have to get used to less attention at some point. She does play on her own very well, something I'm extremely thankful for.

Anyone else finding drinking enough water is a huge struggle? I can get a liter in but anything more than that just makes me feel sick. I can't skull it like I used to.

[Kizmet]

hey everyone! mummy2sophie i hear ya about the water! some days I can drink my 2 litres and then be so thirsty i drink another litre-then am up 7 times a night weeing :laughing: then the next day i get less than a litre and i feel like vomiting. it's so strange. Well I had no morning sickness today or yesterday which has been bloody brilliant!

Went to the specialist today who is still laughing from sheer shock that I am pregnant. he keeps telling us that it normally takes 3-6 months for people to fal pregnant on clomid yet he gives me 5 days worth and walla :laughing: I have my ultrasound at 10:30 tomorrow morning! :smiliedance: so exciited! The specialist told DH that my ovulation levels were huge much higher han he expected so now DH is convinced I have twinnies growing inside me - a little boy and a little girl. I already have a list of names lol I am a bit excited!

DD has been a bit sick lately and we've had some trips to the children's hospital with her which was just heartbreaking but it appears to just be a reaction to the 12 month needles she had on the tenth so thats brilliant news.

Anyone else having bub number two spend copious amounts of time wondering how life is going to be with two? it's basically all i think about! So after tomorrow's ultrasound DH wants to tell the world we're pregnant. The only people who know are his parents and my mum oh and all of bubhub and some close friends. I want to wait til 12 weeks but we will see how tomorrow goes first. He is just so excited-wants to tell everyone face to face to see their reactions! dont think it will be a good one from SIL but hey im not as emotional this time as I was last time so game on i say :laughing:


Well I hope everyone is feeling better and no morning sickness tomorrow for anyone! Take Care all!

Hi Roxy76

I feel the same way Im yet to have any blood tests and I have a serious phobia about them! I hate having them done but more so Im worried they will find something wrong with me that will affect the bub - did u feel like this??

i hate needles, well hated...my one yesterday didnt even hurt!!!

i was worried about what would come up, but i have no health probs, so snapped myself out of that mindset! no point worrying the what ifs, i will just wait till thurs, get the results and go from there!

i did another test this morning and the line is just as strong as 1st line, so my HCG is increasing, so that made me feel more at ease!

try and relax about the needle. i think what freaked me out, was a few years ago i had blood taken and the nurse lady took like 7 goes, using both arms and it was very painful and left me with bruises!!! but this time around the burse was so good, even from yesterday there is no mark on my arm anymore!!

:hugs: to u xo

[jaasssy82]

i woke up this morning not feeling sick.. but really acidy in the tunny.. like i hadnt eaten in a week.... really hungry.. very odd... just waiting for the killer monring sickness to set in like last time.. though i had a boy.. maybe a may get a girl and get lucky

:hugs: 's Roxy. I did that too!!! It was far more comforting that the HCG results.

From other posts, Im trying to figure out,
Am I suppose to be drinking 2 liters of water a day:eek: . OMG, I'll try!

[kaybee]

Hi Girls!

Definately feeling "pregnant" as in not well, now. Feel light headed and a bit queasy if I don't eat regularly, been peeing more and very tired, bbs are heavier, tender and when I was getting dressed this morning they seemed bigger. Haven't :barf: yet though, thank god!

Hey Roxy, I am checking every time I wipe too! Don't think I'll stop doing that till I'm 12 weeks!!

Haven't told anyone, as I couldn't bear having to tell them if I m/c! A friend did that, told everyone at a party and then lost it a week later, it was really sad and awkward for everyone including her.

I am going to see the Doc on Friday. I'm hoping she'll know what to do next about a referral to a hosp etc. I'm going public so I imagine it will be the closest one.

Still a little freaked out that this is actually happening! DH and I spoke about not buying anything for the bub until 12 weeks. Then he told me on Friday night that he bought a little t-shirt that says "dingo bait" on it off the internet! He has a sick sense of humour.:shame:

Well I had better go and get some lunch (starting to feel yukky in the tummy!)
Bye for now!

[mummy2sophie]

:wave:

Kismet: I'm not as emotional this time round either. I think I'm having twins too...I feel more tired this time, and the m/s started earlier. Twins run strongly in my family. I was a twin (my twin died in the womb at 4 months), my brother and sister are twins and my sister (the twin) had twins! So much for "skipping a generation". I'm terrified of having twins!
You are far more likely to have twins if you are a twin, or if twins run in your family or if is not your first pregnancy. Do twins run in your family?

Roxy: I still check with every wipe on the loo. I don't think that stops at all! After all I found I was doing it up to 20 weeks and then after a couple of weeks I was checking for breaking waters! :laughing:

I feel awful as poor DD has to play by herself most of the time while I try to muster some energy to be able to go out. I am sooooo tired today!! And poor DP is working 15 hour days at the moment. Can't help out too much.

Oh no! Soph is awake! Bugger, that's my rest time for the day gone. I could just sleep through this whole day....
:gloomy:

Yes, I haven't stopped thinking about what things will be like with 2 kids! I guess others have done it (and with more than 2!) so it can't be that bad. Friends of mine that have recently had their 2nd have said it is easier in some regard because you know more what you're doing this time round and don't stress about every little thing. I think the fact that Aliyah will be 3 by the time this bub arrives will be good, as she's toilet trained and becoming more independent. I think she'll be a bit jealous to begin with though.
When I was pregnant with Aliyah, I told everyone at 5 weeks, and I'm telling everyone this time too. My hubby and I spoke about it, and came up with 2 reasons for not waiting for the 12 week mark :
1) If anything bad happens, we want the support and sympathy of our friends and family. Also, things can go wrong after 12 weeks, so do you not tell anyone at all???? I'm a true believer that whatever will be, will be.
2) I can't keep my big trap shut, I'm just too excited!! :smiliedance:

[jaasssy82]

Yeah i often wonder how much harder its going to bed with 2 demanding little ones....... ahh the thought of shopping... one hasnt been too bag cause they like a hand bag ( in a good way) you just take em with you everywhere... but 2... will be a big diff i think...im sure we will all be fine :):D .

[mumof2angels]

Hi im currently 6 weeks pregnant with no 3, I have 2 adorable DD's and a gorgeous DH.
Ive been feeling quite ill like i could just throw up, but havent. The more i eat the better i feel and it has to be gourmet hot food that is very filling. Gone off tea coffee:crying: loved my daily dose of coffee. The last 2 days the nausea has subsided and i actually feel quite normal but still a bit off when i get hungry (which is basically 1/2hr after i eat) so:fingerscrossed: its the end of feeling badly nausea. The extra toilet trips have kicked in now im up at least 3 times a night doesnt help the hummidity is making me so thirsty. I still havent been to the drs for a blood to confirm but with no AF and feeling ill thats the explanation.

Hope everyones else is not feeling too bad yet just try relax and take it easy cause there wont be much time to when all the bubs arrived.

Im also very bloated and feel full in my tummy.

[SweetDreams]

Hey all :) I'm Susan, 26 and have a nearly 10mth old DD. This morning I tested after my period still hadn't turned up (I tested on 10th and 12th with negative result) and lo and behold 2 nice dark lines came up!

This is a bit of mixed news for us as on the 9th my daughter and I were diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder which is outlined on my FF Homepage (http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/Snoozie)... little did we know #2 was already baking away! We're still worried and I don't think the worry ever really goes away but hopefully we will have a happy outcome. If anyone has time maybe you could let me know when you think I ovulated???? I'm leaning towards CD14 considering now (I did take out fertile CM from CD13 & 14 after the neg pg test on 10th & 12th and then research gave me dotted lines on CD21 which the FF Guide agreed with... don't think that can be right though considering!!).

Ohhhh we're due around the 21st November. :) I have to go back to the Dr next week... I imagine they'll be keeping an eye on me (because of the disorder) ... it will be hard waiting for the scan I can tell you!

i am actually going through a freak out stage, hoping it will all be ok. each time i feel discharge (sorry if TMI), I go to loo to make sure not blood..silly i know, but now that it has kinda sunk in i am pregnant, i so want it to stick! and realising i am only 4 weeks has made me a little paranoid.

Lol I was exactly the same with DD and have been doing the same thing recently so I don't think anything's going to change!

Just wondering when everyone felt it was safe to tell their families and friends?

Well, our families know there's the sad possibility of miscarriage but we can't hold back so we pretty much tell all close family/friends when we find out because we're so excited!

Hey Everyone,
Would you all stop stressing!!! i know that is hard, though stress is no good for the bumps that we is carrying and growing!!! If it is meant to be it will be and we need to accept that. just dont go doing anything totally stupid!!!

*snip*

Anyone bought anything yet???

Hard to stop stressing... well, I'm not stressing so much but I am very watchful of what I'm doing and eating now.

Stressing Less, Kyahli, I get what you mean about acceptance, and stress being bad for bubs, But Im still a firm beliver of better out that in. I stressed my heart out yesterday, and feel a heck of a lot better for it today. I know If I had not "freaked out" I would have stressed Bubs more holding all the fear in. So Strss away IMO - But try not to live in that moment. its all to freaking Exciting to Stress all the time!!!

ITA... I think that's part of the reason we can't keep the news to ourselves because we're so happy but we're also scared and don't know if we'll be able to handle the news quietly if it's bad y'know?

Still a little freaked out that this is actually happening! DH and I spoke about not buying anything for the bub until 12 weeks. Then he told me on Friday night that he bought a little t-shirt that says "dingo bait" on it off the internet! He has a sick sense of humour.

Lol he sounds like he has a similar warped sense of humour to my DH!

Lots of positive vibes to all!

hugs

Susan

ETA: Glad (well, not really but it makes me feel "normal") that others are having shocking headaches too!!!

[Roxy76]

i think I am going to try and stop looking at the toilet paper everytime I wipe!

Reason? lol is because the test i did this afternoon had the test line DARKER than the control line! Now that means PREGNANT!!!!!! :laughing:

I am so relieved my bub is doing well and my HCG levels are rising so good!

Get blood test results tomorrow morning too!

[SweetDreams]

Great news Roxy :)

[MrsX]

I had the big lot of tests done yesterday including another BHCG to ease my stresses a bit :o

Today I feel really off, dizzy, head feels....odd, heavy stomach etc. Plus I have a lump in my throat so I kinda feel like :barf: but dont at the same time :(

[goose]

Feeling queasy and a little light headed...
SOOOOOOOOOOOO sleepy.. even though i just got out of bed... lol

Food is starting to repulse me.. never had that with jacob..

The other night i soooo felt like pizza so i went down and ordered it.. waited like 25mins for it was soo excited got home opened the lid got one whiff and :barf: it was the most awful thing i have ever smelt.. i couldnt go near it... after all that effort.. :crying: Was so sad.. that never happened when i was preg before..

I was so annoyed and my dp thought it was sooo funny (in a loving way of course..:rolleyes:)

I find after feeling sick all day dinner is the last thing i can handle no matter what it is.. so i just have to cut up a big bowl of salad and nibble..
Which is yum and healthy but im sure ill get sick of it...

Stomach is bigger.. Prob bloated bigger bot fat bigger but i dont think im going to debloat before i get a preg belly i think its all just gonna come sooner rather than later..
But im a size ten so im bound to pop out and be unable to hide it i think... Was the same with jacob..

Well im just rambling to myself so i will be off..
Will come back later for personals..

Kristy

[Moops]

Hi Em

Yes i have had an internal 'transvaginal probe' as they call it! It wasnt for pregnancy though it was to check if i had PCOS. I think that earlier into pregnancy it sometimes is internal.

Basically they have this probe which isnt that big, put a condom on it lube it up and insert it! It doesnt hurt but some women find it a bit uncomfortable.

Hope this helps!

[Kizmet]

I had an internal one yesterday! I'm 5 weeks 5 days and all they could see from the external was the sac not the baby and because of the increased chance of twins on clomid they needed to check if there was one or two in there, I have had one before and it's not too bad. They coat the ultrasound stick in that gel stuff so it's just a bit awkward feeling more than anything but I was so glue to the monitor watching our little bubs heart beating away in there that i didnt notice...until it was over and she put it down and left it hanging there to go get tissues i was like...uh hello!!! awkward much!!

But it wasn't too bad :yes: good lluck with everything :smiliedance:

[Moops]

So is it one or two Kizmet?!!:D

[Kizmet]

just the one :D i'm thrilled either way! Dh really thought it was twins and FIL thought that with the clomid i would have 8 (dont think he really understodd :laughing: ) but just the one lovely healthy bub and i'm happy :smiliedance:

I too had the internal ultrasound to diagnose my PCOS:smiliedance:

[Moops]

Oh Congrats, Im very happy for u!

I am really worried I have been stupidly using a face wash that has glycolic acid in it, I just didnt think. I just read on the internet that its a pregnancy no no and now im worried ive done the bub damage!:crying:

[SweetDreams]

heehee to your FIL :) So glad you had some good news!

I had a pap smear when I first went to the Dr after I found out I was pg with S because I'd never had one!

I'm going to be so anxious until I see that first happy beating heart baby :) then I will still be anxious but a bit more hopeful! :)

Susan

[SweetDreams]

Oh Congrats, Im very happy for u!

I am really worried I have been stupidly using a face wash that has glycolic acid in it, I just didnt think. I just read on the internet that its a pregnancy no no and now im worried ive done the bub damage!:crying:

I'm stressing cos I cleaned up nasty, nasty cat/dog poo before I knew I was pregnant!!!! I did use gloves but still eek!! :thumbsdown:

What does glycolic acid do? I'm sure it will be fine :hugs:

[Moops]

I tend to have problem skin so it just helps with that. I just read this on the net..

Most doctors agree: It's best to avoid creams containing salicylic acid, glycolic acid, hydroxy acids and retinoids (Retin-A, Differin and retinol) during the first trimester of pregnancy.
What's the problem? These chemical exfoliates may be absorbed through your skin (http://pregnancyandbaby.com/pregnancy/baby/Newly-pregnant-Use-exfoliants-carefully-172.htm#), then make their way to your rapidly developing baby (http://pregnancyandbaby.com/pregnancy/baby/Newly-pregnant-Use-exfoliants-carefully-172.htm#).

I sometimes wonder whether the net is a good thing or a bad thing!!

[MegACT]

Well today im feeling tired and have a sore aching back which ive had for a week now. I also have a headache but i think thats from lack of sleep.
No signs of m/s or sore boobies (touch wood) yet.
I took a sick day from work today...i felt i deserved it after finding out last night that im pregnant! and got zero sleep!!
Very shortly im off to get my bloods done and then i'll probably have a nanna nap. Will let you know how everything goes :)
Meg xx

[EcstaticEm]

I'm stressing cos I cleaned up nasty, nasty cat/dog poo before I knew I was pregnant!!!! I did use gloves but still eek!! :thumbsdown:


I knew that cat poo was a potential preg no no, but is it dog poo too??

:hugs: 's Moops, its so so hard not to worry. Im confident your bubs will be fine:fingerscrossed: :hugs:

Thanks heaps for the internal explanations. Do you think they will try external first, just incase they can see heartbeat from there?? Or will 6 weeks 4 days still be way too early?? (Ohh, Im outa my element, know all teh TTC stuff, absolutley clueless about Preg!)

[MrsX]

I've been stressing too, dont worry. I was using a coal tar shampoo......till I noticed it said "not recommended during pg" :eek:

[MrsX]

Just thought I would update.

Got a call from the dr to say that my BHCG level is 4390 which is higher than it ever got last time :smiliedance:

Will be having a dating scan in the next week or two to tripple check, but so far its looking alot better :D:D

[EcstaticEm]

Oh Mrs X :smiliedance: :smiliedance: YAY!!!!:smiliedance: :smiliedance:

[Lozie]

:wave: i thought i'd join this thread too:D
I'm shari 19 have two boys 2yrs & 1yr married and i have 3 cats. Today i feel hung over really seedy and light headed, it's annoying and the smell of my fridge makes me wanna :barf:i think i will scrub it very soon and i feel real heavy too it's been over a year since i was prg so i'm just remembering what it is like
I'll keep in touch and Good luck to everyone!

[Kizmet]

Hey Lozie Welcome :smiliedance:

Mrs X :smiliedance: Brilliant news!


Em-they will probably try the external ultrasound first as there is every chance they could see bubs there and then go for the internal as a back up plan-should also tell you they do let you go to the toilet before the internal ultrasound :laughing: when she first said the word internal i was like please tell me I can wee first otherwise it's not going to be pretty for any of us :laughing:

[Kyahli]

Hey everyone,
hope that everyone is feeling preg...

just been the same here, not as bad nausea though its definatly still there.have had a busy 2 days, by the end of the day i cant handle my DS and just want him in bed and i would like to be sleeping too!! I am on my own at the moment so its all too hard!! I am so emotional and moody(so over that!!) been getting headaches, backaches, and really sore boobs(one seems bigger than other at moment!!! AGH!!)

Hope that everyone is feeling ok!!!

Em, you should be able to see heart beat at your ultrasound. good luck.
sorry i havent done any other personals!! oxoxox

[Roxy76]

got my blood test results and yay! it confirmed pregnancy plus i am healthy as can be!!!!!!!!

AWESOME!!! :smiliedance:

[jaasssy82]

:no: Since about 7pm last night i have had the worst headache... it hurts just looking at this screen.... the only was i can describe it as it feel like i have had a few glasses of champange and oly an hour sleep:banghead: ... its that type right in behind my eyes.. and everytime i cough my whole head vibrates in pain..... get my blood work back today too .. fingers crossed its all good

[mummy2sophie]

Hi everyone!

Mrs X, Roxy, Kismet - all wonderful news!

Welcome Lozie!

Mrs X - wow a dating scan....you gonna take a date? :laughing: Just had to say it. Have to practise bad mommy jokes! BTW - what is coal tar shampoo? It sounds awful! All my shampoos smell disgusting - except for my mint one which I have to use exclusively now.

it's supposed to be just cats not dogs that are the problem. The risk of toxoplasmosis (sp) is actually really low - it's a disease cats get just once in their lives (if at all) and the chance that they have it whilst you are pg....especially if it's an indoor cat is miniscule. Still...it's a great excuse for DP to do kitty litter - my hubby's been doing ours for over 2 years now! But it's okay to cuddle kitty.

MegACT - definitely deserve a day off...I don't know how anyone can work whilst pg, I certainly don't know how I managed it 2 years ago! How do you do it with kids and job?? must be insane.

[EcstaticEm]

Kismet and Kahali? (I get mega dyslexic with your user name!) :hugs: 's and thanks for the scan reassurance.! Im all :smiliedance:

Jaasssy - I have been getting mega mean headaches too.. The shattering kind. My doc say's its normal, and hormones cause it.. I did not ask which hormones :o. Ive been taking 2 Panadol when it gets so bad I cant take it anymore. But a hotwater bottle at the back of the head, and a firm scull massage have had some good results too. :hugs: 's to you.. it hurts!

Roxy!! YAY!!!!! You go girl!!! Healthy and Preg!! YAY!!!!!

Well Yesterday was full of energy and not much nausea, but my lordy I was grumpy and agro. Poor chris! this morning I felt really queasy, but no hurling yet! Boosies, still sore!! My fav symptom actually, really comforting.

Hope everyone is doing well!! Im so so excited for us all!!!

[jaasssy82]

yeah i remember i had massive head aches all the way to 17 weeks last time....
was eating panadol like lollies as it was the only thing to keep it a bay....
today my son goes to day care so i can rest up...
oh yeah and tidy the house i suppose :)

[Rianna]

:wave: Hi everyone, I thought I'd join this thread if that's okay. As you can see, last year was a crappy year with 2 miscarriages but we're hoping for third time lucky! I had my blood tests yesterday so hopefully today or Monday I'll find out my results. My first obs appointment is on Friday April 13th :eek: but I figure that's NOT an omen (everyone please agree). No real symptoms yet except some lightheadedness and occasional low stomach cramps which stress me out but apparantly can be okay? Anyway, good luck to you all and :fingerscrossed: for all of us!

[EcstaticEm]

Rianna - Friday the 13th is a very very VERY lucky day! :yes:

Don't blame you at all for being worried, but sending you loads of :smiliedance: & :hugs: 's!

The cramps are really common, Freaked me out too at first. They were strongest between 4-5 weeks for me. have settled down a lot now.

[Lozie]

:wave: everyone!

thanks for welcoming me!

Today i feel a bit better started taking the vitamans yesterday and it has settled my stomach for now i feel really hungry but i dont feel like eating anything it all cr@p :p, still havnt told anyone at all just u guys here i'm undercover:cool:
i think family will be angry at me but i dont care it's none of anyone busness. They probably think i'm just doing it cause my sil and aunt r preg so i have to be too ppfftt, that is how petty my family is:rolleyes: they are all id-ee-ots! My mum asked me yesterday if i was an i laughed at her, that might put her off for a little while, hope everything is going well with everyone!!!

[goose]

So far no headaches here wish i am so very thankful for and :fingerscrossed: they stay away..

Last time i got such bad headaches/miagrains i could stand up for even 10 sec without throwing up or fainting.. had to spend a few days in hospital and have a lumbar puncture(ouch) and heaps of tests cos they though i had a blood clot in my brain or a brain tumour... very very scary but all worked its self out..

So i hope they dont affect me this time..

Feeling really great this morning.. Think its all the choc yogo im eating... man its tasting so good...:o

Hope everyone else is feeling well...

Kristy
:hugs:

[jaasssy82]

Hey Gooose

oh my gosh i had the exact thing happen to me at 13 weeks had the worst head problems they did cat scans and lumbr puncture:crying: ... it was the lumbur punture that caused scar tissue in my spine which gave me horners sydrome when i had a n epidural ( u loos sensation of your whole body) did even know if iwas breathing.... very rare and very danergous.... id just lvoe not tio get kidney stones this time around... and not to vomit day and night untill labour:p

I have had the filithiest headache since last night.. GOOD NEWS THOUGHT
i just got a call from my dr confirmin my bloods were all good and im in the right direction:yelclap:

[salt water]

Hi :wave:

Thought I'd better stick my head in and say hello to you all. I've lurked for a little while :D May I join you?

I'm about 6 weeks or so with my fourth baby :eek: , my older children are 9, 7 and 7 mths.

Congratulations to you all - Looking forward to getting to know everybody,

Noosamum XX

[jaasssy82]

Welcome NOOSAMUM

Of course your more then welciome to join us... congrates on your pregnancy... noosa is beautiful... i spend a lot of time at the sunny coast :)

[goose]

Thats awful jaasssy...
Ive always sworn never to have an epi as it scares the bejesus outta me.. so being forced to have the lumbar puncture was bad enough..

I didn't have an epi when i gave birth and never will... I'm way to fearful of them..

Sorry to hear that happened to you.. is it a temporary condition or will you always have it?? Ive never heard of it before.. :hugs:

[salt water]

:wave: Thank you jaasssy for the lovely welcome :yes:

Noosamum XX

[jaasssy82]

Noosamum

Your more then welcome
:hugs:


Goose

Well i have just been told a few weeks ago now i was only mins from being incubated.. if u go into my thread "AHHH im 4 weeks" it tells the whole story there..... id never heard of it either.. nah no lumbur or epi fir me EVER AGAIN!!! :shame: was too close for comfort.. but i will admit having the lumbur punture was much more painfull then getting the epidural as its withdrawing brain fluid through ur spine.. where atleast with a epi they are injecting fluid :)

[Kizmet]

hey Noosamum!!! Welcome to the club :smiliedance:

[MegACT]

Hello to all the Newbies :wave:
I look forward to getting to know you all better over the next 8 months! And sharing all the highs and lows :)
Well I got my blood tests results back today and confirmed that im definately pregnant! Yay! Its slowly starting to sink in. Back ache seems to have gone away but slightly sore left bbs and sooooo tired and feeling a little queasy but i might just need to eat more. Going to have a nanna nap soon before my parents arrive later tonight. Havent told my parents yet, i plan to over Easter.

[mim_adam]

Welcome noosamum...

Hey everyone.. I am feeling so sick at the moment i try and eat and feel for a whole 2 minutes and then i feel sick again. yuck. Plus i feel like i have a lump in my throat that i cant seem to swallow. They changed my first midwives appointment today till anzac day which i dont mind as hopefully dp can look after ds. Hows is every one?

[4tiggers]

So many lovely new mummies to be joining us. I 'm not sure how I am going to remember all the names. Congratulations on getting a :bfp: . This is going to be very exciting for us all.

I am plodding along, feel like :sleeping: and :barf: all day. Have to go to work though, I am thinking of quitting after easter. Do you think I am being a wimp. I thought if the ms eases then I would stay on. Part of me is worried that if I do quit and bubs does n't make it then I am out of a job I love. I dont want to be negative though.:confused: Hope everyone is well and all our bubs are growing.

Ecstaticem, not long till your u/s,.

[MrsX]

Welcom Noosamum & congrats :hugs:

I've had another day of feeling very dizzy & off colour. Was at my mums and as we arent telling anyone anything till we have the scan on the 10th, I found it really hard to act like I was ok :( I really do want to share, i'm just scared :(

[mim_adam]

Hey,

4tiggers i know what you mean about feeling off and not wanting to be at work is there any way to work less or have holidays till you feel better and more secure in your pregnancy?

Oh and i know what it is like to try and act like nothing is going on. But not doubt when u tell your mum she will be like that explains why you have been a bit off latelly.

No to worry the 10th will come around fast.

[SweetDreams]

I knew that cat poo was a potential preg no no, but is it dog poo too??


Just cat poo... I'm being a worry wart (as I tend to be!) heehee :)

Just thought I would update.

Got a call from the dr to say that my BHCG level is 4390 which is higher than it ever got last time


YAY!!!!!

:wave: i thought i'd join this thread too

Hi Lozie!!

:no: Since about 7pm last night i have had the worst headache... it hurts just looking at this screen.... the only was i can describe it as it feel like i have had a few glasses of champange and oly an hour sleep... its that type right in behind my eyes.. and everytime i cough my whole head vibrates in pain..... get my blood work back today too .. fingers crossed its all good

Yeah I had that... was pretty much what twigged me to the fact that I should test again because I had them with S too. Thank goodness it seems to have left me alone now although I still have the woolly feeling but not the pounding, feels like I have an axe in my head pain!

Last time i got such bad headaches/miagrains i could stand up for even 10 sec without throwing up or fainting.. had to spend a few days in hospital and have a lumbar puncture(ouch) and heaps of tests cos they though i had a blood clot in my brain or a brain tumour... very very scary but all worked its self out..

So i hope they dont affect me this time..


OMG Kristy!! That would have freaked me out... I hate any sort of medical intervention at the best of times!


Hi

Thought I'd better stick my head in and say hello to you all. I've lurked for a little while May I join you?


Hi Noosamum!


Me:
I am eating sooooo much!!! I think that definitely helps with nausea (little bits at a time!).

Apart from that nothing too exciting... mostly just hungry heehee (as mentioned!). Oh and scatterbrained. That's a definite. VERY scatterbrained.

I have already bought a couple of newborn mcn heehee they are so cute!

[MegACT]

I cant sleep! Its driving me mad to the point where im getting paranoid. Im getting so frustrated that im making myself upset :banghead:
I sleep better when DP is home but he works night shift on a 4 on 4 off roster and wont finish his shifts until Sunday morning :crying:
I just cant seem to get comfy! Atm i am sitting here munching on a piece of toast which i thought might make me sleep better if i have something in my stomach.
I just want :sleeping: :sleeping:

[Kizmet]

Meg-I hear you on the no sleeping thing! I had trouble sleeping a few months back and couldnt get to sleep until 3am at the earliest :eek: but the las 2 months i have been in bed by 9 and asleep well and trully by 9:30-10:30 at the very latest but now im getting back to 1am again :banghead: i try everyhing but just cant get comfortable enough to go to sleep. maybe it's the heat? i know last time i was pregnant the heat effected me so badly!

Ok best go DD is standing in her cot chanting mum mum mum mum getting louder and more angry!

[Kyahli]

Hello Everyone!!
Special welcome and hello to all our new mummys to be!!!! :wave:

I am down the coast with my man!!! We are still trying to find a house so that we can move in and everything though that is starting to be a challenge with our ponies!!! Enjoying the weekend, he is off to jump out of planes today and i am taking kaelum to pony club on his new pony(stands at 33 inches). Hope that everyone has a great weekend.

I am still a little sick but not that bad(:fingerscrossed: it stays like that for rest of day!) and woke up with a fantastic headache... not happy, actually i am in a pretty good mood but just not feeling 100%. My pants are starting to be tight by the end of the day AGH!!! so have to think about what i wear as not to be unconfortable. stupid stupid stupid!!! And my bbs, OMG!!! i can not believe how much they have grown already!! i am usually lucki to even be able to fit into a A cup, though not anymore!!! :crying:

I am happy to be pregnant though i totally hate the idea of being big, can anyone help me???

Has anyone bought anything for bubs yet??? any major purchases...??? I had sold just about EVERYTHING as kaelum is 6 in may, only have the highchair left and a few really sentimental clothes that i have kept, so i have to buy it all again. been told that i have to wait till we get into the new house though.....

ONLY 4 weeks till i reach the 12 week mark!!!! YAY!!!! :fingerscrossed: everything will be ok...

Hope that everyone else is doing ok???

[jaasssy82]

well the headache i woke with yesterday stayed with me all day and got soo bad into the evening i was in bed by 8.... feling very cold with goosebumps yet i was sweating... very hormonal.... i felt a bit off to this morning.. the morningsickness is coming and like the first time from week 6 day2.. up to labour and with 23 hospital visits.... i hope its no so bad this time....... strange but when im lying in bed im feeling very pregnant already as i feel something i diff when i try to lay on my tummy and im waking 3 times at night already for the loo............

[Kizmet]

is anyone else feeling down in the dumps? i've been feeling super down this last week can't wait for this part to be over!

[mini_me]

Hi girls

Kizmet ~ sorry you feel down hun maybe go out for a walk get some sun on ya skin might perk ya up.

jaasssy82 ~ i complete understand how ya feel about hospital visit during pregnancy. I had rough time with my heart while pregnant with DD had irregular 3rd heart beat and to top it off by 7 months my heart was clocked doing 280bpm and all i did was walk to toilet

Well im actually starting to feel pretty good about this pregnancy my spotting looks like its stopped :smiliedance: However my 22 month old driving me up the wall (currently sitting on vac pretending its horsey) I know im moody LOL but i havent snapped at anyone ... grinding teeth (which reminds me better book in with dentis) Had a migraine last week that had me bed-ridden - now im getting low key headaches nothing panadol cant fix. Im not sick and i dont ever expect to be. Heart burn is my main bother that and my bowels. Ah the pleasures of pregnant :laughing:

[4tiggers]

Kayhli, I hope you find a house soon. I am 8 weeks tomorrow and some of my clothes dont fit already (the jeans and tight pants). I am stuck wearing a few different skirts that have loose waists. I didnt think it happened this soon.

Kizmet, I know what you mean about being a bit down. I think the m/s is getting to me. I am really excited about having this little one but feeling sick 24 hours a day really dampens the spirits.

I want to know if anyone thinks quitting work after easter, in term 2, is quitting too early. I am finding it hard to work with the kids when I feel like :barf: . I am a bit worried that if I quit to early and this one doesnt make it I will out of a job I love.

[jaasssy82]

Kizmet....

Yeah feeling down in the dumps happened to be first time round.. so far this time so good.. u will fell better soon though... and especially once a bump begins to show and by the time bubs is kicking around u can then feel and see its all worth it.. the hardest for me last time was the first few weeks :barf: day and night and i felt i had nothing to show for it.. id often find myself thining is this all real>>?? Things will get better though....



MiniME

Just as i read your blog i turned around to see my 20mth old riding the vacum too... made me giggle for the first time in a while as i have been feeling so rotten... i do have a very small pateience threshold at the moment and do find myself snapping at him more... then i feel really really bad.. but its like he knows mummy needs to rest and he is being a little turd.. emptying the kitchen cupboards etc.. which he normally doesnt do anymore.... headaches are sucking big time for me.. panadol are like lollies... though im my first preganancy i was in the early weeks in the middle of summer and the heat didnt help at all.... a box a 50 panadol didnt last long... fingers crossed and i know its a big wish but if its only headaches i get and no morning sickness i will happily have them :) as i can deal with them alot better then:barf: all the time.. also when my little bub hears me chuck he screams as he thinks im in pain( which i am lol) but it is very hard to chuck quitley in peace as well all know...
Having an older bub this time round has its benefits though... there is really no time to lay in bed all day feeling sorry for yourself.. you just have to get up.. make breakfast and deal with it :o

[Rianna]

Morning all! Hope everyone's feeling okay. This morning was my first bout of nausea- here we go! I had quite bad nausea with my last pregnancy so it feels like dejavu. You kind of forget what it feels like (maybe it's pregnant brain). I'd love to buy some things for the bub but I'm a bit scared to...that probably sounds dumb or negative but I just feel to anxious to actually believe that this will really happen. Fingers crossed, hey?

[Kizmet]

I want to know if anyone thinks quitting work after easter, in term 2, is quitting too early. I am finding it hard to work with the kids when I feel like :barf: . I am a bit worried that if I quit to early and this one doesnt make it I will out of a job I love.

hey there, im in two minds about whether you should quit or not purely because I worked up until i was 38 weeks pregnant and whilst it was a massive struggle getting there in the end i was happy to be there all day and it made time pass by super fast! My sort of mantra towards doing anything (even shopping which is proving to be brilliant on my credit card) is if you have to second guess it then don't do it. Always go with your first instinct! I'm sure everything will be fine with your pregnancy hun :hugs: but i'd hate for you to make a decision that youd regret later but then again being home more means you have more time to go baby shopping and chat with us all day :smiliedance:

I think its a decision only you can make, maybe make a cup of tea write down pros and cons and just think on it and see how you feel after you've made the final decision.:hugs:

[themumbug]

Im taking the blackmores pregnancy ones kate..

This little ones nickname will be squishy.. lol :o Due to jacobs love of nemo..
"i shall call him squishy and he shall be mine.. he shall be my squishy.. come here squishy.." :laughing: please tell me someone else knows what im talking about... :ecomcity:

We dont find out the sex so definatly need a nickname to get us through the 9 months... Jacobs nickname was peanut or teeny..:)
we called our little bump cactus jack. hehe

[4tiggers]

Thanks Kizmet for the advice. It would be better for the kids I work with If I stayed. I just know that feeling so sick I am not giving them by best. I am delaying my decision until easter, I will be closer to 12 weeks and hopefully feeling better. I do appreciate your thoughts though, thankyou.

[Harmony83]

I feel absolutely dreadful!!! I am soooo sick all day and night, I bought the sea sickness bands, and blackmore morning sickness formula and I havent :barf: yet today (touch wood) but I still feel pretty sick! I am also extremely tired, but have alot of trouble sleeping, I think I sleep about 4 hours at night cause I just keep tossing and turning! And I am down in the dumps for some reason, which is hard because I am happy to be pregnant!!
I hope everyone else is doing better!

[Kizmet]

harmony I feel so down as well :hugs: you're not alone:hugs:

[MegACT]

[QUOTE=Harmony83;1253631]I am also extremely tired, but have alot of trouble sleeping, I think I sleep about 4 hours at night cause I just keep tossing and turning![QUOTE]

Im having trouble sleeping too! I can't seem to get comfortable, its very frustrating!
:sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping:

[mini_me]

We'll im starting to get more symtoms CM and CP now agree im pregnant LOL (.)(.) have gone into over drive and my toddler putting on fans when its only 14C (WHY???) :banghead: my head is really hot like its trying to bring on a headache. Cant wait to get blood test i actually changed the appointment so im first of the rank 8:30am tuesday - i hate needles but im really looking forward to this one.

For the girls still having trouble sleeping ....

Im thinking of trying music at night when i go to bed. Unfortunately I cant use lavender as its one of the things that sets off my migraines!
I actually slept a bit better last night so :fingerscrossed: it stays like that.

[jaasssy82]

sickness


yeah lavender helped alot of my friends thought thier pregnancies.. but i cant stand the smell of right now.... im highly allergic to maxalon too .. during my 1st pregancy the only time i could get nausia relief ( when i hadnt eaten in4 -5 days) was in hospital it was called ondansetron( dont know if thats the correct spelling) they give it to people under going chemo... it did help.. but i could only get in whilst in hospital as it was about $200 for 4 tablets to buy......i hate ginger and tried the tablets early on in my 1st preg with my DS but .. no they didnt help.. nothing worse then feeling ill and throwing up something u hate most and having to taste it ..... yuk

[Vespera]

Better do a quick intro now I have invaded this group :D

I'm 25 and my husband is 29, we live in Perth and this is our first bub. We have 2 dogs and have just bought 5 acres of land just out of Bridgetown so are very excited about moving.

We are property developers and work for ourselves and together all day so lucky we get on. Our first wedding anniversary was last week and we are very excited about Cletus the Fetus, we have no intention of finding out the sex but as we have been waiting forever for our BFP we already have names chosen.

Looking forward to the next 8 months with you girls

[4tiggers]

Vespera, Welcome and congratulations on cletus (love the name). Will the 5 acres be for you to raise the bubs or just to develop?. Either way you are going to be super busy. It will be good to get to know you.

[Vespera]

The 5 acres is for the lifestyle. Most of our projects are in Perth.

Already has a 5x2 house, 60 fruit trees and room for a horse or two :thumbsup:

[Harmony83]

Hello and welcome Vespera! Nice to have you aboard!!!

I think I might definately look into Lavender, I still didn't sleep last night, and its really starting to get to me!!

[MrsX]

How are we all feeling today? I'm ok, except that I have had pains in the tummy for 2 days now :( Starting to stress bigtime that its the beginning of another mc :gloomy: I just want to be happy. I'm also getting very snappy with everyone, just want to be left alone for 10mins.

[Kyahli]

hi everyone,

mrs x, yeah, i woke up with cramps this morning(3 am).... :fingerscrossed: they go away.... i went for a horse ride with partner and i am just hoping that its not the reason for the cramps... decided not riding:gloomy: till 12 weeks again just for bubs.

Vespera, welcome and congrats!!! heres for a happy and healthy pregnancy...

So i am not feeling the best this morning after pushing myself just a little over the weekend. THOUGH we found a house and have been accepted and all that. not moving for a few weeks but this house is fantastic... Cant wait to have partner home with me!!!
Kaelum come off his little pony over the weekend, poor little man, he is fine, just dont like him coming off!! Its not great!!
Ok, I am having a veg day at home today!!! Going to try and get some zzzz's if the cramps ease a little...
have a great day everyone!!!!

I"m due in November. I have one daughter who is 6 months and full of life.
I am getting over the tiredness thing now,:smiliedance:and have a little more energy but I wish this morning sickness will pass.:mad: It seems to go on all day....However, I have not been sick.

Last time I didn't have much morning sickness, but this time I feel sick all the time. May be I'm having a boy.

What is worring is that I have already started to put on weight!!! and as I am always careful what I eat, I am little worried I may be having a multiple birth. Twins / Triplets run on both sides of the family with grandparents on both sides who were twins or triplets....

I will have to wait and see...

i had cramps so bad last night i couldnt move! i was so scared! but they have eased off now thankfully. I am getting a cold :gloomy: sore throat, blocked nose and a pounding headache on top of the non existant but still queasy morning sickness :rolleyes:

Why is it that I blocked out how bad morning sickness was after last time? :laughing: I have also blocked out labour but im not thinking about that yet it's a long way off.

I cannot believe it is eaaster weekend after next!where has the time gone! Soon after that it will be my birthday and then some of my friends will have their babies, my wedding anniversary, then it will be my SIL and BIL's wedding , DH's cousin and his wife will have their baby and then here comes our little Anderson or Claire :smiliedance:

I am still deciding what to do in regards to shared care or hospital care. Did any of you do shared care? Can you tell me a bit about your experiences? was it worth it? If I get into my hospital of choice then I dont think I will do shared care as they are flexible with their antenatal visits and will make them after work hours and on weekends so DH can come whereas if i do shared care DH wont be there for the visits as I can only see the specialist on a tuesday. But if I have to go back to the hospital I was at before I will definately do shared care as I hate it. hate hate hate it.

Anywa I feel some morning sickness coming on! will talk to you all later

Hi everyone

Thought I would log in as I have been absent for a while. It's nice to read how everyone is getting on.

Well I have been extremely down, i've got a bad case of the doldrums :gloomy: . The m/s is getting worse by the day and its really hard to keep positive. I :barf: every morning regardless if I eat something in bed before I get up and continue throughout the day. In the past if i :barf: it gave me relief for a little while but now thats gone as well! I feel really bad for my man as well, he's been so sweet and supportive but Im in such a bad mood and so sick of being sick!! The thought of this lasting for another 7-8 weeks (at least!) is too dreadful to bear at this stage!

I have my first scan at 12 weeks I still think that this is too far away, I constantly worry that something is wrong with the baby and i would rather find out sooner than later. Although would I still be feeling so sick if something was wrong??

Anyway sorry to drag u all down just had to vent!! Take care Melissa :hugs:

Hey all,

I too woke up with burning cramp feelings in the early hours of the morning and thought oh well will do a test to reassure myself in the morning.

BIG mistake. :(

It's lighter than the one I did last week! :( I have since read that that doesn't necessarily mean anything but ohhhh I'm stressing! I'm not sure if this is different to spotting but I've had like (TMI) brown & pink coloured CM which I have also read is okay cos it's old (or something?!).

I think I need to stop reading!

You'd think I'd know seeing as I have a baby already but this pregnancy just seems so different and I am so scared right now. :(

sweet dreams :hugs: :hugs: with my first pregnancy we found out at six and a half weeks and went out straight away and bought a cot , pram and so much other stuff. Everyone kept saying dont do it lots of things can happen but i was so sure nothing would happen. Thankfully it didnt. now this time because we have worked hard to fal pregnant I am paranoid! i wont even look at newborn clothes or anything because i stress so bad! i think now I completely comprehend what i would be losing IYKWIM i know how stupid that sounds. It was so surreal the first time its just so real this time :hugs:

[SweetDreams]

Yeah that's exactly right Kizmet... you know with 2nd bubby how much happiness and joy they really add to your life and I'm so scared! I wish the stained CM would go away but touch wood at least it's not red! I am seeing the Dr on Wednesday but at this early stage there's not much they can do is there? I mean, he said I didn't need a blood test cos I was def. pregnant but maybe it's all a wait and see now?

Hang in there little one!
