♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

I decided not to take the seizure meds ladies...... I've been reading online of some serious side effects even during pregnancy even though the ER Doctor told me it wasn't proven to harm or not harm the baby....... yet online it says the opposite......
 
Hmm well what edfects could seizing have on the baby? Is there a less risky drug you can try?

From what they told me the one that they gave me is the Least Complicated epilepsy medication. from what I've been reading most of the complications from having a seizure and being pregnant are if you were to fall. I always have a warning before I have a seizure so what I'm going to do is put a mouthguard in and lay on the bed.

Giving my old OBGYN a call and see what they say.
 
Giggle I bet you can’t wait!!

Kiwi that sounds awful :( You’ve got a good plan in place by the sounds of it though when you get your warning. Keep safe.

Randa you have been quiet!! 😂
 
Appointment was super long! Had to pee in a cup and I have never not been able to do that but I’m so constipated that it made it hard this morning lol! Totally TMI I know. Lol!

But then she ordered an ultrasound! Measuring 7w4d! ❤️❤️❤️ Pic below! My husband is an ultrasound tech and said I have a small hemorrhage but it probably isn’t anything and I have a cyst too. All the things they don’t tell you...They said if I have spotting and bleeding to call but everything looked great! Heartrate was 142. I still say a boy. Jan 24th is my new due date.

How exciting!!! Awww lovely first picture <3

My appointment got moved up a day! Eee can't wait now!
 
mwel8819, glad your appointment went so well!! How exciting!!

gigglebox, how many days away is it? :happydance:
 
So sorry for your loss crusher
Been a crazy last few days, I got married yesterday and today with the spotting again but I have noticed it&#8217;s typically only after we do the deed so hoping it&#8217;s nothing but there was some tiny little clots so that makes me nervous. May call my ob this week and just make sure all is ok. The mc a couple months ago makes me worry about everything but I keep reminding myself that we saw the heartbeat a few weeks ago and all was ok then but I know things can change&#55357;&#56904; ahh so hard. We are out of state atm on our honeymoon right now so idk what we will do
 
Okay, kiddos are in bed, and catching up now! Welcome to all the new people!

Crusher, if you've been checking in, how are you holding up? I know how hard it is, and hope you give yourself lots of love and permission to grieve for as long as you need to.

w8ting, how are you doing? Did I read correctly that you just got married this past Sunday?! :flower:

gigglebox - I wanted to attach a pic of my scan, but it seems like my husband misplaced it :( I'm sure it'll turn up soon, and I'll post it. I'm texting him at work now to give him a hard time about where it is :haha:
Also my husband randomly mentioned liking the name Myles yesterday at dinner! I like it too (we won't use it since our first born is named Wylie, and we often call him Wyles for some weird reason...haha, Wyles and Myles is not happening here :D)

babybum, I agree with giggle and Emsabub about the Dr's lack of confidentiality - I'd probably stick it out if I was happy overall with the care, but would mention that that info sharing can't happen again! Did you make a decision about it?
Regarding the nursing being painful, same here with my son - and he's also not interested in weaning. When I was pregnant with my second, my first was a very keen nurser, and when my milk dried up at 17 weeks, he didn't seem to mind one bit - and he became a better sleeper almost instantly! Hoping something similar happens this time around, tbh!

Ersurgeongirl, how are you feeling today? Did you go to urgent care?

Kiwi, I'm so sorry to hear about the epilepsy. I didn't even know it could be induced by stress :( That is definitely a tough call about the medication.

Jingles, sorry about the nausea! With my boys, I was intensely sick for weeks, but I would vomit several times in a row and be good for a few glorious hours where I ate all the things I craved (Countryblonde, every pregnancy I've also craved sour, citrus-y things - makes me also think this will be my third boy!) This pregnancy is just a constant strong nausea, and I've only thrown up a couple of times.

mwel, awesome about the scan! Thanks for sharing your pic! And nice to have an insider's knowledge right in the family :D

So, I'm supposed to go out with a group of about 20 ladies on Sat. night. We all became friends when our first babies were born around the same time, and we see each other often still. Only one of them knows I'm pregnant, but I'm thinking it'll be hard to hide it from the others - I am looking a little round in the middle and they all know how much I usually love wine! :haha:

Wishing everyone well, and good luck for those with upcoming scans (post pics!!) :)

Oh, haha, I missed your post while I was writing my essay :haha:

Congratulations on the wedding, and I hope you're able to still really enjoy your honeymoon!! I get where you're coming from with the worry, and would probably do the same thing by calling for a bit of reassurance once you're back. But I really bet things are okay - a bit of spotting, especially if you've identified that it's after dtd, is likely totally normal.
 
Welcome newbies. Exciting times in this thread.
Ml nice scan congrats
W8 congrats on the wedding. That's awesome..
Kiwi that's a tough choice. Honestly dr. Google does have some helpful information but if it was me especially with two other kids id take the meds if only not not frighten and traumatize them. Maybe gather some questions about the worst possible side effects and ask your ob... Good luck
Afm i originally had an appointment scheduled for tomorrow but they scheduled wrong so it's now for Wednesday and I'm really anxious. As for the doctor thing I think the best thing I can do is refuse to see that doctor til later in my pregnancy. Honestly I had a hemorrage after my delivery and I felt he handled it well and would be ok if delivered this one i just don't want to see him til I'm past the important bits. If anyone presses me then I'll discuss it with the practice manager.It's just an uncomfortable situation.
 
Hello!
Firstly, congratulations to everyone!! Here’s to healthy pregnancies!! I’m due Jan. 9th!
 
RandaPanda, Babybum35, thanks ladies :hugs: I'm definitely going to keep taking it. It seems to be helping with some other mental issues too.

erher, Welcome to the group hun! I went ahead and added you to the list too!

AFM: I have a dentist appointment in a couple hours from now, it's to fix my teeth that were damaged during my last seizure. I can only eat oatmeal, applesauce, and ice cream :(.
 
W8 congratulations on the new hubby!!! Yup spotting is totally normal, your cervix is all swollen and if hubby is htting it when you dtd he may be causing the light bleeding. If it eases your mind to talk to the dr definitely give them a call! My bet is everything is fine though :hugs:

My appointment is in 17 days, not that I'm counting :haha:

My back is still messed up so I called the ob for advice on what I can do -- was really hoping they'd say "letybring you in for a scan just to make sure all is ok" :haha: no such luck!

Kiwi are your teeth damaged or just loose? I hope there is something they can do to help today.
 
Kiwi, good luck at the dentist, and I hope they can fix your teeth up for you!

I've got my first ultrasound today, in less than 2 hours, and I'm so nervous/excited! I just want to see the baby and know that our little jelly bean is doing well.
 
gigglebox, my teeth are pretty damaged and I think my jaw is broken in the front a little bit. some of my front teeth got moved out of place they're like sticking out into my lip. the ER wanted me to see a plastic surgeon but the dentist is the first stop. Good news well I guess it's good news I've decided to continue taking the seizure medication I just hope it doesn't affect the baby.
 
I’m okay. I have some sort of sinus thing that has gunned up my lungs... a respiratory infection of some sort. Antibiotics and all.

I had another appointment today- baby is measuring exactly to my dates and had a strong heartbeat of 178.

Crusher, I’m so sorry :cry:
 
Our ultrasound went well! It is abdominal, but our little bean is definitely there. OB said it looks around 7.5 weeks, but could be farther. You could see its heart beating, nice and steady.

My new due date is January 28th :) :cloud9::cloud9:
