Karinama, Ouchy!!! i hope it heals fast!! Sounds like you need a relaxing weekend away!

Morgan and Wendy, hoping you both have great scans! cant wait to see the pics.

LanPem, Congrats and welcome!! How are you feeling?

 

[Kasey84]

Beautiful scan hope4rainbow!

LanPem- welcome and congrats! All the best to you!

Morgan- good luck with your scan tomorrow! Keep us posted

I've had a killer headache for the past 2 days and of course nothing that is safe to take actually works! I've also been nauseous throughout the day and very little appetite. Hope this passes soon! I'm worried I'm not getting enough nutrition for the baby!

I can totally relate. I am on day three of a migraine that just doesn't want to budge. Took meds yesterday and this morning just to be able to get up, but like you said, none of the 'safe' meds really work. I am also working with my crystals, which has taken away much of the pain. Try placing some amber or Lapis on your brow, it has done me a world of good.

Hi ladies,
I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. No ms and actually had an appetite. Of course this has me worried that something is wrong! Does the worrying ever stop!? Just 4 more days until my scan...

I am so happy for you. Nice clear pic and a healthy hb. You must be over the moon and so relieved. X

 

[morganwhite7]

Thanks a million girlies!!! Yes I feel like a whole new person.

Haven't felt like this since I was pregnant with Jaxon. I feel nearly whole again, it's wonderful

Morgan I'm so so so o delighted for u...wonderful news

 

[Lisa85]

Congratulations Morgan!! So happy for you!

Needing some advice ladies... last night i fell asleep on the couch while my OH walked the dogs. Usually i am a really light sleeper so i would wake up as soon as i heard the door open. My OH managed o get in the house and do a few things and then came over to me... i woke up startled and confused. I couldnt work out where i was or where he's been or what happened. Directly after that i started feeling very sick. Nearly threw up, mouth watering, crying, breathing heavy. Eventually i just went to bed feeling really sick. I had dreams about miscarriage and now i have pains in my stomach. Feeling really scared!!

Do any of you 10 weekers have stomach pains at the moment? Would getting a fright like that cause all of this? My MS went away about a week ago and now im freaking out!

 

[Kasey84]

Lisa, 2 nights ago I dreamt I went to the bathroom to pee, only to see a lot of blood. I woke up very upset! Then today is the first day in 1-2 weeks that I have had a good appetite and no ms! I'll admit it has me worried. On the other hand though, I believe that our anxieties/fears can come out in our dreams. Also, from what I've read, ms/nausea can come and go throughout pregnancy.

Waking up so confused must have been scary. Hopefully our little rainbows are perfectly healthy! xo

 

[vietmamsie]

Very exciting Morgan!

Lisa: I have also been falling asleep HARD, like all the time. I actually put my head down at work yesterday and was out until the bell rang for class... I have never done that before. I also have fears about miscarrying, but you just have to chose to be positive and push those thoughts out of your mind... or dwell on them and be miserable.

AFM, finally feeling better! My migraine has turned into just a slight little headache! Wahoo! I can function normally again! Counting down to my next ultrasound on Monday!

 

[Karinama98]

Morgan....awesome news!

I know I had a mini migraine Monday night. It didn't full out hit me like they normally do, but I had slight symptoms that got me knowing it was coming. Took my tylenol, which didn't do much, and had some of the sensations from it still the next day like I normally do. I had one during my first pregnancy this year that was hard to get through the work day with.

I also have a question for you ladies. I've only briefly expressed my thoughts to my husband about this, but want to know if others who have had a loss have gone through the same emotions.

You would think after we found out we were expecting again that I'd be over the moon like the first one. Since we found out, all I want to do is keep is a secret and don't even want to acknowledge I'm pregnant. I'm not even sure I'm happy about it right now even though we worked hard to get pregnant again. If my husband brings up the pregnancy, or my boss does, I just want to change the subject and not talk about it. I can't tell if I am still having attachment issues with the first one, whose due date would have been in 14 days. If anyone has any advice, or can relate, please let me know. It should be a happy time, and I don't feel it. We're announcing it to my husband's family tomorrow, and I know his mom is going to be freaking out like she did the first time with excitement...I'm just afraid of looking like a lump on a log when we tell them.

 

[Kasey84]

Karina, I think I know how you feel. This pregnancy has been so different from the last. I was so so excited the first time around. I felt an immediate attachment to my baby. I thought about him/her constantly and was always looking at things we would need to buy. So many plans right from day 1.

This time, I'm happy, but that excitement isn't there. I also don't feel the same sense of attachment, which of course makes me feel like a terrible person I'm uncomfortable talking about this baby/pregnancy or making any plans.

I'm terrified of another mc, of losing this baby too. I think that fear is getting in the way of the excitement and forming an attachment.

I'm hoping for good news at my scan on Monday. If all is well, I'm hoping this will make it feel more real and allow me to be excited.

I hope all goes well when you tell your OH family.

 

[Karinama98]

You definitely sound exactly like how I do. There just isn't any excitement (or attachment this time). It does suck. I've told my husband I just don't feel it. Maybe in the 2nd trimester when we feel them moving around in there we'll feel better.

 

[Lindsay109]

Congrats Morgan, that is amazing news! Sounds like you've got a resilient little bean in there!

Lisa, that must have been quite scary. Your OH probably just woke you up out of a really deep sleep. Try not to dwell on the fears if you can.... although I know this is a lot easier said than done. Symptoms come and go... I have days where the MS is better, and other days where it is worse. Also getting some crampy/stretchy pains. I think it's pretty normal.

Karina, I am feeling much the same way. I am really happy about this pregnancy, but the excitement is not there... at least not right now, right now I'm just scared. I think it's pretty normal after a loss... probably just a way to emotionally protect ourselves.

I had a little scare myself on monday (early hours of the morning) - woke up to pee and there was blood in the toilet. I totally freaked out and went to the ER (at 3am). They did a quick ultrasound and baby was still there, heart beating away. HCG levels were good, and my cervix was still closed. Had a little more bleeding through the day on monday and since then it has tapered off into brown spotting which is thankfully almost gone now. My GP has ordered serial HCG tests... I go for the second one today. I've done a bit of research though and a lot of people say there is no point testing hcg after 8 weeks so I'm hoping it doesn't make me even more stressed.

Who knew this pregnancy stuff would be so stressful... I had no idea when we started ttc!

Hey girls, is it ok for me to join this thread?

 

[Karinama98]

Lindsay, I agree! Who knew it would be so complicated. When you're younger you always hear of how easy pregnancy was so some people, but then when you go through it it's so not the butterflies and pixie dust and unicorns it seemed to be. Luckily so far with this pregnancy I only had the one minor brown blood spotting, and that was almost 3 weeks ago.

And then today I see on Facebook an old high school friend announced her 5th pregnancy to the world. She seems to have NO problems what-so-ever. I just shut my computer and walked away.
