(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[AmaryllisRed]

Early scans are stupid. I had a similar situation last time where I was 5 1/2 weeks and saw only an empty sac and had a very stressful two weeks of waiting until my next appt at which everything was normal.

I hated being pregnant in the summer. Ick. I am SO hot when I'm pregnant anyway (I mean I feel hot... although, yeah... I look hot, too!!), so even in winter, I'm like, can someone turn on the a/c??

Tomorrow I am going to meet a girl to trade woven wraps and then my dad is coming over to play catch with my son. Then Sunday we are going to a baptism and then the zoo.

I don't think that anyone should get early scans just incase its not detectable cause there your freaked out till ur next one

 

[DHBH0930]

Well this will be a stressful weekend... Just noticed some brown discharge...could probably be nothing but of course I'm gonna worry

 

[Kaiecee]

Don't worry about discharge I have pink and brown spotting I had it with Riley too brown just means old blood u can get it after irritation after dtd

Thats part of the reason I won't go for an early scan. We don't have the money to pay for one, but even if we did, I don't think I'd book one; I would worry myself sick for the rest of the time up until my 12 week scan, and there might not even be reason to worry. I also refuse to use a Doppler; I'm not trained to use one, and they're fiddly; the midwives here don't even use them until the 16 week appointment because the heartbeat is notoriously hard to find. Even at my 16 week appointments it's been hard to find. I don't see the point in worrying myself when pregnancy is a dicey time already. But I understand that some women have to have that reassurance.

6 weeks today, and got my 3+ on my Clearblue digital this morning. It's my last digital, and I wanted the 3+ so I waited until today so that I'd definitely get it Somehow, now I've reached 6 weeks I feel "properly" pregnant now LOL. Still no real symptoms, but that's fine by me.

 

[Kaiecee]

I'm 6+1 I think the only symptom I had so far is wanting to throw up but it was the worse this morning I was gagging for about 5 min nothing happened but I just know the ms is just around the corner

Happy 6week mark bump buddy!. still no real symptoms here either.

I don't blame you for being worried I would be too but I had brownish pink discharge with dd several times up until 13 weeks and she was just fine in there

I agree that for some people the early scans can be stressful. But even though we didn't see the heartbeat yet i feel more reassured after the scan bc my dr said everything looks great and the pregnancy is in the uterus. I had been having ovary pain so I was just slightly worried. I'm also a photography fanatic so the more pics the better for me. my dr office just started offering 3d scan for an extra charge at 16 and 27 weeks and you can choose your a photo package just like if you we're getting a family picture. So funny but who am I kidding I know I'll want to do it

No real symptoms for me either. Slight queasiness throughout the day. Tiredness in the evening and sore boobs but nothing that screams your pregnant! With my dd the symptoms kicked in about 6 weeks 2 days so we shall see!

I think early scans are good for ruling out ectopics. That's the reason I got my early scans. Of course, the first scan would never show a viable baby so I had to go back a week later. I'm getting an early scan but at this rate I'm guessing I'll be at least 8 weeks by the time it gets scheduled so they should be able to find a baby in there somewhere.

Ugh, last night was the sickest I've been yet. I thought I was going to throw up for sure. I have yet to vomit in pregnancy and I really don't want to start a new trend. Mornings are when I feel the best so feeling pretty good right now.

I started spotting again so DH told me I was doing too much and have now been forbidden from the few things I have been doing. I actually should go lie down soon as even sitting up gets painful after awhile. I'm trying to think of simple stretches and exercises I could do so my muscles don't atrophy. I had a bit of a problem with that with DS' pregnancy and it took me FOREVER after he was born to feel like myself. It took a year to lose the weight.

Don't worry about discharge I have pink and brown spotting I had it with Riley too brown just means old blood u can get it after irritation after dtd

Thanks...its definitely not from dtd...haven't done it in days since I've been sick, I'm pretty sure this isn't allergies and that I have a nasty cold Makes sleeping so hard! I know its common and as long as its not fresh red blood that things are probably okay. I can't help but worry though since it started out as brown spotting when I had my chemical 2 months ago. If it keeps up I will probably call and see if I can get my first u/s this week instead of next week. I'd be 6 weeks along, so there is a good chance we'd see the heartbeat and it would help ease my mind.

I got my clearblue digis in the mail today, I was actually nervous to use it since I was afraid of it saying 1-2 or something...even though my first response ones are super dark. Thankfully I got the same result as you Also no real symptoms here, all I am noticing is this darn cold!

Thanks for the reassurance! My husband was even looking up "brown discharge" for me yesterday to find more info to help ease my mind and show me how many women have said they have had it and their pregnancies are fine. You know your husband is great when he is willing to google search "brown discharge" for you

I too haven't had symptoms that scream "your pregnant" either, I will hope that is a good thing. If they are coming I'd like for them to wait till my cold is gone I'm already feeling miserable..

Hugs dhbh I have spotted on and off for 2 weeks now dr said don't worry unless its heavy like a period I have my scan Tuesday and can't wait

 

[Lara310809]

Boobs are really starting to ache now. Wish I wasn't BF also I'm really lethargic; I put the sofa bed away, then tidied away the kids' books, and I had to sit down. I just feel drained. I felt the same yesterday, but I was clearing the new house (because we're moving next month) of furniture etc, and when we got home I was so tired. I thought it was from doing all the work, but now I think it's the pregnancy!

I lost my first pregnancy in October. We just found out we're expecting again! Our first appointment is this Wednesday. My due date right now is December 10th, but I may have ovulated late. We'll see!

 

[threegirls]

December 20th due date here

Welcome!!! Have any symptoms yet? When's your first appointment?

Thank you! Not too many symptoms here. My BBs are sensitive but that's about it. I've actually set up 2 appointments and had to cancel them due to school obligations. This is my 3rd pregnancy so I'm not in a huge rush to go in yet since I know not much happens at the first appointment. I'd almost rather have my first appointment closer to the time I can see or hear a heartbeat

happy 6 weeks!!

I can see both sides about early scans...I think if I had a mmc, I would want to know as soon as possible and it can rule out ectopic, which if left to 12 weeks can cause you to loose a tube, granted its rare. But its reassuring...

also, I love my doppler...but I think time you can hear baby depends on the position of the placenta and sensitivity of the doppler..I used it throughout my pregnancy...especially on days when my daughter wasn't very active...just reassuring.

what are you studying in school? Or is it your daughters school??


AFM...I am sick...again. sore throat/runny nose...we still had a party for DH...towards the end I was ready to collapse...luckily I had getting DD down as an excuse to go to sleep while guests were still here.

Nausea has officially started here. It was very slight yesterday,but much stronger today. Still not awful but I've a feeling its going to get stronger as the days go on!
Also my jeans are tight

 

[threegirls]

I'm in nursing school and it's the last couple weeks of the semester so I'm busy finishing things up. Of course I'm also busy with the three little ones running around too

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling like my jeans are getting tighter. I thought maybe I was going crazy I'm sure it's the bloating but it still sucks. With my twins you could tell I was pregnant very early. I can't wait to get a scan to see if there is one baby in there this time (although I wouldn't mind twins again)

 

[luz]

Anyone else who has bad ms? Mine lasts all day long and I can't find anything to make it better. I have managed to not throw up but that doesn't help the fact that I feel horrible all day every day..

 

[SugarBeth]

My morning sickness is steadily getting worse. It's not all day yet, and only really gets unbearable when I don't eat in time. Last pregnancy I learned than Preggie Pops are lifesavers, and they're really helping this time too. They give me time to calm my belly while I run to go grab some food.

Breastfeeding is getting harder again, like it did last pregnancy. Usually my daughter will just come into bed in the morning and nurse and I'll just sleep through it. Now I'm so sore that it keeps me awake and I wait until the moment she starts to fall back to sleep and quick stop nursing. My one nipple is so sore it's turning colors!
