To tell or not...

Rashaa · Oct 10th, 2011, 09:04 AM

HI Ladies,

I am still in the game

. Hanging in there...I wanted to drop a note and say

I hope everyone is doing well...I developed a very itchy rash over the past few days - has anyone else experienced this?

It's most only my arms and legs....I switched to aveeno baby wash and using aveeno anti-itch creme, until I can see my doctor. [It's a holiday today].

I completely understand the concern in telling people. I told my my kids, of course hubby and his family and my family and a few close friends. I wont tell work until I hit the 13th week.

Here's to a happy Monday! It's Columbus Day in the US, and Thanksgiving here in Canada.

hugs to all

I haven't told anyone except for my husband and my very best friend. I experienced a MC in January at 9w3d and learned my lesson about telling people too soon. I think it's a very personal decision.

My very best friend, I told because her shower/bachelorette party is this weekend--that I am hosting, so I was going to have to explain why I was going to be sneaky about alcohol. I will probably have to tell a couple more confidants before the weekend so that I can have helpers in my drinking/not drinking ruse.

Oh, man I had the worst itchy rash with my first! My entire upper body was covered. Id scratch and then get in the shower and it would burn. I tried lotions and oils, which helped - but not a lot. I just had to wait through it. I hope yours goes better! Palmers has a good oil, it helped the most. Good luck girly!

No rash for me, but i am prone to them so perhaps they'll visit me too!

However, I am VERY weepy today.... Tears well up over the silliest things. I am watching, in the background, the columbus day parade and the italian fairy is singing and I started to cry!!! Wtf?? I need to get a grip.

Rashaa, keep hanging in there!!

Happy Thanksgiving Day, Canada!

Happy Columbus Day, America!

btw, I teach Italian, so I am finding the parade kind of cute.

HCG was 62 and prog was 15 on Friday. Today (Monday) HCG is 388 and prog is still 15. So thankful!

Just to be sure, doctor wants me back on Wednesday for one more blood test.

First ultrasound is scheduled for 10/31 and second ultrasound and first doctor appointment is scheduled for 11/14. I think I am going to continue to be a little bit of a wreck until all those appointments are done. When do we get to sit back and enjoy?

Sadie I spent 2 hours in floods of tears to my mum on Sunday. I was so upset I ended up setting her off too. Our hormones are all over the place so its to be expected I guess.

Rashaa hope your itching gets sorted out soon. Glad you doing ok.
Lilmamato - glad everything heading in the right direction.

My friend NikNik1More just posted her 5 week scan over on the first trimester thread. Its titchy totty tiny!! Amazing that something so ickle can cause our bodies so much grief!

By the way, I have this rash that just started a couple days ago on my lower back. Just my lower back though, but I keep waiting for it to go away and it doesn't.

Ooh, I am going to find it!!

I dont think most of us will ever stop worrying because its our nature. However, i have a sister who is so realistic about everything and she handles everything with calmness and poise. Smetimes I wish I had her personality!!

I am waiting to hear about my blood test results from today. they are taking forever to call and I just put another call in, to make sure that I wasnt forgotten..... Still waiting.

My sister is like too (although Im like that in other situations.) In fact, she has told me not to join a baby forum cause it can make you panic about stuff and get worried about things that you shouldnt be worrying about. I never let on that I was on here alot!

Let us know how you get on with your tests. I wish they wouldnt take so long to get back to people and realise how important it is to us mums to be!!

All is progressing nicely!
HCG is up to 449 and progesterone is at 30. I am going for an ultrasound next wednesday! So excited!
