Not feeling pregnant is worrying ... trying not to worry about it too much. what will be will be i guess. I know people like to get scans at this stage especially those who have suffered multiple losses; but i would rather just not know. Nothing can be done can it ? I keep thinking I would love a reassurance scan but... meh. I hate first tri, it's so lonely and slow.

 

[Serenjay]

I just had to know...


I cant cope with this itching of my feet and lower legs.. pharmacist gave me E45 itch relief but its not helping.. will have to speak to GP tomorrow.. its always bad at night.. im even scratching in my sleep and taking skin off...

 

[CrazyMumma]

Wow this thread is huge!!!

I am not sure when I am due yet - 30th Sept based on LMP but 5th Oct based on scan measurements. I do have long cycles so am thinking its more likely to be the 5th October.

How is everyone feeling? My morning sickness seems to have passed now (thank god) but I am just . so . darn . tired. And I can't even drink coffee

Thankfully DD4.5 is at kindy so I can relax!!!

I've got a dating scan booked for tomorrow, feeling odd about it I hate hate hate first trimester too, no one knows and it just drags on!

Serenjay, that itching sounds horrid! Hope you get some relief.

Well I'm on modified bedrest and progesterone suppositories until the 2 bleeds stop. Full pelvic rest with no sex and no orgasms. This will be a long pregnancy...

 

[CrazyMumma]

Dark Star - fingers crossed for you hun! stock up on books and have some netflix marathons if you can get on it. Sometimes zoning out for a while can help

 

[cheree89]

I agree ladies...lets just forward onto 2nd trimester OK?

I had a lot of bedrest last pregnancy Darkstar. I am terrible at bedrest...after a couple of weeks I was going into work for meetings. I hope I can stay clear of it this time.

 

[Dark_Star]

Thanks crazy. I do have Netflix and books, and now seems like a good time to order a bunch of yarn and start knitting tiny little things

 

[cheree89]

I am not sure when I will have another scan...maybe not until the 20 week growth scan. Last pregnancy I had cervical checks starting at 14 weeks (every 2 weeks), but I bet I could get them to put that off a little bit. I worry about how too many ultrasounds affect the baby.

Good idea...I need to get knitting too! I have some lovely yarn that I want to make into a romper.

 

[cheree89]

This was my DS2's coming home outfit I didn't knit this one, because I bought the fiber and had someone spin and knit it for me (I don't spin). However, I do love to knit and will knit lots of stuff for the new baby.

I wish I could knit....I have tried and I just end up in a ball of knots swearing!

I did however make a gorgeous cross-stitch while I was pregnant with DD4.5 (thats still waiting to be framed!) and one for SD6 when DH and I moved in together so I am planning on starting one for Bug soon.

I picked up DD4.5 from kindy this arvo - she drew this picture of herself (yellow), DP (orange) me (complete with baby in my belly) and two babies - the happy girl purple one and the sad orange one ...... can you take a guess what sex she is hoping for! haha

haha ... that is too cute! My DS1 wants another brother. A sister is not on his list of desires.

 

[CrazyMumma]

Cherree - your DS is adorable!!!! Love the knitted outfit, you almost make me want to attempt knitting again!

 

[cheree89]

thank you CrazyMumma! I only learned so that I could knit cute pants, rompers and overalls for my boys. I've only ever made one thing that wasn't for my kids LOL. I find it hard to get the time to knit though now that I have 2 littles. I wish they slept more LOL.

 

[CrazyMumma]

Sleep? Whats that again????? Miss 4.5 stopped her day sleeps at like 2 and BOTH her and DH snore up a storm (well, at least when she decides to finally sleep!)

 

[Newbie32]

Thanks Newbie.. cant wait for everyone else's scans x

One more sleep for me!!!!

I couldnt handle waiting until a 12 week scan to see if everyhting was alright....if it wasnt, to think that i had spent 12 whole weeks being excited about a pregnancy that was no longer i think would about kill me! So hoping everything goes ok tomorrow - it is definitely nerve wracking...

My kids are night owls and then don't reliably take naps either <<sigh>> I was the same as a child, so I can't really blame them.

Thanks Newbie.. cant wait for everyone else's scans x

One more sleep for me!!!!

how exciting!

 

[Newbie32]

that is of course if i do actually sleep - pregnancy insomnia smashed me last night....grrr!
