Trying4BbyBoy: welcome and congrats! You've been added

Smile: that's great that they got you in so quickly. Hoping everything turns out ok!

Embo78: so sorry you are worrying so much, its so hard not to

Teeny Weeny: so sorry you are having to go through that, I hope things get better quickly so you can move on and not be stuck in this limbo

AFM: lost 0.2 lbs since the weekend. Which I know is nothing, but with the way I've been eating I was sure I've gained 3lbs this week. So glad I haven't! Trying to stay in the 25-30 lbs gained this time. Excited to be a few days away from being a sweet pea, no more seeds!

Also with ms starting I'm less worried so even though I'm anxious to see baby I'm not tempted to lie to get an earlier scan. I'll be out of town for 7 weeks when my doctor normally does 1st scan. But now I'm seeing it as a positive thing, the longer till my 1st scan means we will see more and it will look more like a baby than a (adorable) blob

teeny I'm soo sorry. Big hugs.

Em glad your dh has been able to calm you down, this is so hard.

SweetV hope all is well.

trying4boy welcome!!

DHBH wow nice work! haha I'm afraid to weigh myself lol I gained 100 lbs with my first and 65 with my second... on the upside, I completely gag now if I even smell pasta.. which was part of the reason I gained 100 lbs the first time lol

smile nice that they got you in so quick!

beneath how are you doing these days? still praying for you and bean.

 

[TexMel]

Teeny, I cannot even imagine what you are going through right now! No need to apologize for posting on here - we are all here to support you!!

Embo and smile - I will be thinking of you guys, too! Let us know what happens.

Afm- still some cramping today but no spotting at all, so I am ok. Just waiting and waiting for April 2 to get here!

 

[DHBH0930]

klsltsp: thanks! I gained 80 lbs with dd a lot of mine came from pasta too! It's all I wanted all of 1st tri and part of 2nd, that and bread! So high calorie stuff. MS is just now starting. Hoping if I want pasta this time around I can eat less of it! My motivation is I want a vbac but if I gain a ton of weight and therefore my BP shoots up I won't be able to.

 

[Embo78]

Teeny I know exactly how you feel right now. I had three missed miscarriages in a row (unexplained) My first was the same as yours. Each week I had to wait for the heart to stop beating after there being no heartbeat at the first scan. Massive massive hugs while you're in this shitty limbo


Thanks everyone for the reassurance. Been out for a walk and I've come back and the nausea is back. Never been so relieved to feel sick!

 

[Butterfly2015]

Hello all you lovely ladies.

Teeny weeny my heart goes out to you I'm so sorry xx

Afm nausea is killing me all i could stomach yesterday was a slice of dried toast and a glass of milk today I found a godsend lucozade it kept my nausea away long enough for me to eat a bowl of soup. Have had a banging headache for 2 days bps fine though so not to worried haven't had my scan appointment yet and don't see the mw again till I'm 16 weeks which feels like a lifetime away lol x

 

[Dollybird]

My symptoms come and go too. Very scary. Was up last night being sick but today I feel ok. Still unsure if it's a bug or Ms.. Who knows. Bbs where agony last night but ok today. Smile hope your scan goes well. I've got a scan tomorrow too! Xxx

well good luck! with my first I had ms the entire 9 months and all I could eat was pasta, pizza and cereal... lol no wonder I gained over 100 lbs... with my second I was only sick for 4 months, and was super careful and still gained 65 lbs... my doc said it seems that's just what my body needs... good luck on having a VBAC! I had high bp with my first but not my second.. never considered it could be related to how much weight I gained... interesting it makes sense!

 

[klsltsp]

Em good news the nauseau is back! I know exactly how you feel, my oh asked why I wasn't taking the meds yet for the nauseau... I told him being sick was oddly reassuring and I would rather deal with it..

 

[Smile181c]

Good luck for your scan dollybird

Teeny, I am so sorry that you're having to go through all of this. I can't even imagine the heartache. Please don't apologise for posting in here

AFM I gained 56lbs last pregnancy so pretty much double what you're 'supposed' to. Took me a long time to lose it and I still have zero tone now! This baby will most likely be my last so when I've given birth I'll be making sure fitness (obviously along with a good diet!) will be a priority! The low self esteem I've suffered since last time has been so horrible

BUT i googled how much you're supposed to gain in first tri and I read 5lb somewhere - I've only gained 3lb so far so I'm happy with that!

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Teeny I'm so sorry. What a horrible situation to be in.

 

[DHBH0930]

Smile181c: it took me over a year to lose all that I gained from dd, I felt so disgusted when I'd see myself naked, that I let myself be so unhealthy. I feel so much more confident now. 3lbs is definitely **NOT** bad! I know I'm gonna start gaining one of these weeks. But gonna stay active and eat healthy (I was EXTREMELY unhealthy with dd's pregnancy) and continue after baby is here

klsltsp: mine was me just being knowingly unhealthy. Like disgustingly. 2nd tri when my appetite came back I used pregnancy as an excuse to eat what I wanted. I was having large fast food meals a few times a week, unhealthy snacks nonstop, whole 1/2 gallons of ice cream, whole boxes of snack cakes and frosted cinnamon rolls, tub of frosting, whole boxes of mac and cheese. Large 2nd portions of dinner, etc, etc, etc so there is no excuse for my weight last time besides my gluttony. I wasn't still feeling sick and eating what helped. I just was gross! I'm SO determined for that NOT to happen again. my BP may have still shot up if I was healthy. But if there is even a small chance it caused me to have a csection, that gives me that much more reason.

 

[Smile181c]

Smile181c: 3lbs is definitely bad!

Was this a typo?

Smile181c: 3lbs is definitely bad!

Was this a typo?

Haha yep! Definitely NOT bad

teeny

im absolutely wiped out - had some nausea today but the tiredness has me defeated, im also freezing cold!
i so want to curl up in a ball with a duvet and hide!

 

[Dollybird]

Teeny just saw the bit about your scan. Dunno how I missed it earlier. So so sorry for your situation wish there was some way we could help more. Hope you're getting lots of support and cuddles from you oh and family xxxxxxx

 

[ksilme]

Hi all,
Teeny I am so sorry for your loss and what you have to go through xx

Those who have had bleeding and have scans, good luck, hope all is OK.
I also had a small amount of bleeding yesterday, and the midwife booked me in for a scan on friday morning at 11. It had stopped afterwards, but went to the loo this afternoon (funnily enough pretty much 24 hours exactly later) and when I wiped there was quite alot of bright red blood Friday can't come quick enough, I can't stop worrying now x

as for weight gain, with my daughter I was doing slimming world up until 10 weeks (I had lost 2 stone before catching with her) and I lost every week until the last week (9 weeks) when I stayed the same, and I weighed not long before I had her, and I weighed 4lbs less than before I lost any weight!!! was so chuffed, weighed when she was a few days old and I was only 7lb heavier than my lightest weight. I then remained the my lightest weight until before this pregnancy, but weighed yesterday and I have lost 4lb xx

 

[ambernwxo]

ksilme - worrying is never fun I hope everything is okay!

I actually gained some weight before I found out I was pregnant and was just about to start working out and losing it - then got my positive test, lol. Now it kind of worries me to start doing any kind of exercising but walking just because I haven't seen anyone to tell me what is okay and what is not. I don't feel like I'm at risk, but then again this is my first so I just don't want to risk anything by assuming it's alright..

 

[crazycatlady5]

Amber - I have always heard keep doing excercises you currently do (except contact sports), but don't take on anything new. Hope that helps.
