[x-Rainbow-x]

aww everyones scans are so cute !!

im UK based to - North East

I booked in with my Midwife today and i have my first scan on tuesday im nervous and excited at the same time.

im feeling more nauseous as the days go on but most of all my boobs are killing me !!!

i was asleep for 7.30 last night, baby lego has been using up all my energy lol xxx

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

It took her a minute to find the baby (it was abdominal), which just confirmed my fear... but then she dug around on my bladder and there he/she was. So yes, feeling like a normal human being doesn't mean anything bad! Thank you, ladies

Good luck with your scan, Rainbow!

(I had mac n cheese with lunch today, just to continue that thread )

 

[busytulip]

Good luck at your scan Rainbow

Fantastic scan Kitteh. I'm glad they were able to give you the reassurance that you needed.

Thinking of Sis and hoping to see a good update

Esperanza would you like me to move your date or just leave it? Happy 7 weeks!

ja are you going to a small practice? most of the time at smaller practices they'll do an ultrasound that initial visit, especially if your dates are questionable.

Personally I feel like the walking dead. Does anyone know any great natural cough suppressants? I think I remember that honey and cinnamon are supposed to be good....if someone can confirm that would be fantastic. I'm miserable.

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Honey, definitely! Maybe in some hot tea, that's what I was doing during the TWW when I had the cold symptoms. I think gargling salt water is supposed to help too. Hope you feel better

 

[pinkpassion]

Honey is good for cough, not sure about cinnamon, but lemon is also!!

 

[pinkpassion]

I've been sooooo sick today... don't want to eat anything, vomited up my vitamins.. it's been awful!!

 

[pinkpassion]

Congrats on all the great scans ladies!!

 

[busytulip]

Thanks ladies, I think I'll try putting some honey in my tea. Whenever J nurses I get so over heated feeling I start in on a coughing fit. I've been sucking on hard candies but my cheeks are starting to get sore.

Eeew that's yuck Pink. I can't stand the smell of my vitamins. I end up drinking tons of water just to get them down and the taste/smell to lessen. Sorry you are unwell. Did you have really bad MS last time?

 

[Sis4Us]

Sorry for the late Update been running all Day ... Scan went well baby measured 7+4 HB 144bpm !!! Starting to get excited I've never made it this far FX this is my Rainbow!!

[Kitteh_Kat]

So for some reason I read "cough" and my brain translated "sore throat", so ignore the salt water thing. But honey is still good!

The nurse also gave me a list of over the counter medicines that are safe during pregnancy, and for cough they have Robitussin/Vicks Formula 44 (generic is Gualfenisen) if you get desperate.

Hope you feel better soon, pink!

Beautiful scan, sis! FX for you!

Hubby went and bought me a canister of decaf coffee, and just brewed me a pot... I'm sitting here in heaven. I've missed drinking as much coffee as I want!

 

[pinkpassion]

Busy, with my miscarriages I had hardly any symptoms.. and I had the "feeling of doom"... with my dd I was at peace and I just felt good about everything and I had so many symptoms and pretty strong morning sickness, but nothing like this!! And definitely not this early!

 

[busytulip]

Sis4Us again so SO glad you got to see a happy little bean in there

Thanks Kitteh, I have a huge list of safe medications as well, I just try and avoid taking everything. Call it paranoia.

Pink I'm sorry that you are getting hit so badly with sickness, but ecstatic since it normally indicates a very sticky LO (or LO's)

 

[sugargully]

Glad you're feeling positive Esperanza. I think a pma really helps.

Kitteh- I'm glad your scan went well.

Hello everyone.

Afm- I've been having all day nausea and af style cramps. The ob nurse said all this is normal. Until I got on the boards I had no idea these were pregnancy symptoms.

 

[Smanderson]

Fantastic news all the scans went well, my scan date is 2nd November so excited can't wait!

Miamama so sorry for your loss

Very slight nausea when I wake up now and feel really sick when people at work eat, ALL their food stinks, it's actually just me, a sandwich yesterday had me gagging. It's not spicy chicken or cheese therefore it's disgusting and must not be consumed according to bubba.

We still have most of our stuff from DS too and will also need bottles and mattress for cot and Moses. Also new pram but thinking of buying second hand as will only use a travel system for the first 6 months as its a pain to squeeze in the car and hallway. I really like the look of those co sleeping cot things but don't know how long you can use them for, DS was out of his Moses by 7 weeks would be furious if £150 cot was just for 7 weeks lol formula machine sounds like a good investment, will look into that.

I'm also in the uk, have booking appointment bang on 8 weeks and scan bang on. 12 weeks to the day, don't recall them being this efficient with DS but have to travel to London for the scan. Only about half hour but still annoying it's not at local hospital. All the ones round here are now part of kings so think that's why.

 

[Sis4Us]

Thanks so much Busy it's really starting to get Real I'm getting Excited but trying to stay grounded!!!

Kitteh I would say u r team Pink I too Od from the right and Implanted on top left!!!

 

[Alea]

It is with a heavy heart I have to leave this group. I have miscarried our baby in the early hours of this morning.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy 9 months, and I thank you all for the support. Best wishes to you all x

 

[pinkpassion]

I'm so sorry alea

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Alea, I am so sorry your loss, hun FX you'll be back here when you're ready with a sticky bean

Sis - we are egg buddies then! (I'll be 15 weeks mid-November and that just seems so far away to find out, arg!)

sugargully, I've had period cramps with both pregnancies now. I was told it's just everything getting ready inside.

Smanderson- this is the formula machine we're getting... I'm already so excited to try it! Hubby loves his keurig for his teas, so he's fully on board with baby having their own drink maker.

 

[busytulip]

Alea My heart is so heavy for you.

 

[busytulip]

Smanderson you could always ask around on the boards to see how long other mums were able to use the bedside cots? That might give you a guesstimate as to whether or not it would be worth the investment. Aghh your scan is in Nov.? I really hope you are able to keep busy, and sane, until then. Happy 7 weeks!!

Sis4Us I just wish we could fast forward to the good stuff sometimes.

sugargully I've had those AF style cramps as well. Pregnancy does weird things to our bodies.

Last night I had a very vivid dream that I had spent hours cleaning my kitchen. I went through the cupboards getting rid of expired things, cleaned out the fridge-tediously cleaning the crevices, hand mopped the floors, pulled out the stove and cleaned underneath, etc. Imagine my dismay when I walked into the kitchen this am.
