[Loo89]

Hi ladies, I'd like to join you

1) When is your due date? - 18th November

2) Whats your name? - Loo

3) Where are you located? - East Anglia

4) Occupation? - Administrator

5) Any kids (besides this one)/planning on more? - One mmc in June 2014, and we would love two or three kids eventually

6) How long TTC? - we've been trying on and off (due to mc, had a 6 month break) since we got married in December 2013

7) Any other fun info you want us to know? - I'm 25 and DH is 27. We have four kitties who are definitely our babies! We are probably going to stay Team Yellow but I may change my mind and blame it on hormones. We've had two early scans due to a lot of pain, and at the last one on Weds we saw a strong heartbeat and baby was measuring a day ahead! (last time we had a weak heartbeat and baby was over a week behind the sac size)

Looking forward to getting to know you all

Hi all,

Not been on for a few days but wanted to check in and say I went for an early scan on Tuesday and was in tears as soon as they said yes there is the sac and can you see the flashing that's the heartbeat.
I have to go back 23/04/15 as I have a history with MC but she sa is all looked well ! Xxxxxxx

anyone else getting headaches. I've had a headache for 2 3 days now, blood pressure yesterday was a little low 97/60, think my iron levels might be a little low as well, as super tired. feel the need to nap but with 2 little ones and working it's a little difficult and then when I do get in from work I can't go to bed because I need to unwind and do my physio exercises first. I work evenings so I don't usually get to sleep till near on 1am.
I keep getting the feeling that this baby will end up the same as my first. low waters which later turned into him having iugr and my placenta failing. I can't shake the feeling, with my second I was just a little worried about it but never had the feeling it would happen again. I still haven't seen a midwife, hoping to hear from her Wednesday and then hopefully get an appointment. I think the scan will be able to tell me the chances of it happening again, if my waters are on the low side then I know my answer as they were a little low at my 12 week scan with my 1st.
quite a few people have joked I'm having twins, twins run in the family, there are on my mum's side, hubby's mum's side and his dad's side, theres triplets on that side as well, the even more worrying part is that twins tend to skip generations which would mean twins would be due to happen.

I have been getting headaches but I feel that it's more from exhaustion than anything else. I've been drinking so much water that I know it's not dehydration. I hope you get your appointment and answers soon and that everything looks good.

My acupuncturist said it's normal to start getting headaches at around this time, she told me to expect it. She's has 2 kids too.

littlesteph There is a Homeopathic remedy for low amniotic fluid, maybe you could find a midwife/practitioner who could administer it to you if you're worried about it

Congrats on the happy scans everyone who got one!

 

[MissyMojo]

Really can't settle into this pregnancy, it feels so different to my pregnancy with my boys that I'm.terrified, I don't have much ms, it's more food aversions, I'm not as tired as I was with the boys, my boobs don't hurt
I'm so panicked, we can't afford a private scan this month at £100, and I can't get an early scan via NHS as I've had two healthy pregnancies since my MMC in 09, but the fear is still there, I don't know what to do with myself, part of me wants to tell a fib and saying had bleeding and get a scan, but I don't want to take the place of a lady who actually needs her scan
I just wish I could change how I feel

 

[Embo78]

Missy I'm so glad you're not going to fib about bleeding. I've been one of those women who's bleeding and having to wait for an "emergency" scan. It's torturous and if I thought I was waiting so long because someone had fibbed Id be gutted

I think you should ring your Epu and explain your mental state. That you've had a missed miscarriage and the stress from that and lack of symptoms is driving you crazy which can't be good for baby. They might bring you in for a quick reassurance scan. Or could you ring your gp and ask for bloods to see if they're doubling within 48 hours?

 

[MissyMojo]

I'm going to ring mw after holiday weekend, and explain how terrified I feel,
My gp practice is army med centre in the middle of moving, they're not great for anything atm

 

[frantastic20]

I know it's not much of a difference price-wise but I found one in Leeds this morning who do a private scan for £80 Missy? I've woken up bleeding today so I was in a major panic. I'm still terrified but the bleeding has almost stopped I think, and my MS has returned (I didn't feel sick for the first hour after I woke up and it's been 24/7 for over a week now) so I'm hoping everything is OK.

I'm still tempted to blow £80 on the private scan though, they have appointments available today!

 

[MissyMojo]

It would cost us about 20 in fuel to get to leeds so no difference for us

 

[catmummyof4]

Hey hope everyones ok? I need to rant a little im gettin soooo sick of ppl telling me how easy it is to diet but thyr overweight i feel like screaming in their face so why are you fat then?? Iv always had a weight issue and i struggle to get it down so y say that????? Grrrr lol anyway im soooo tired so gunna go for a nap x

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Just been to tesco for the first time in weeks and spent the whole trip gagging and had to go to the loos twice because if thought I was going to be sick. My taste aversions and smell aversions are awful this pregnancy. Soon I'll just been on cheese sandwiches and I'm normally such a foody.

 

[KimmyB13]

Loo, seems you have the same due date as me x

 

[littlesteph]

mrs bump I've been like that as well, just every thing smells, everything makes me feel sick, really struggling with eating and drinking anything at the moment, which might actually explain my headaches.

 

[xCherylx]

Had the same thing in Tesco last week when I went with mum, decided to do an online shop this week lol!

 

[Trying4BbyBoy]

Anyone have the starving feeling throughout the day? Ugh it can be so painful

 

[SweetV]

Yes! I am always starving but when I look or think about food I feel like I am going to be sick. It's wonderful really.

 

[littlesteph]

nope, rarely feel hungry, just thinking of food makes me feel ill at the moment, not good as I really fancy a ben and jerry's right now

 

[DHBH0930]

OMG ladies. Norovirus/food poisoning hit my family on vacation. So far I had/have it worst. Yesterday afternoon started feeling awful, thought it was extra bad ms. Turned into awful stomach cramps with nausea. Then the throwing up started and didn't stop. Then while throwing up I shit my pants (now the diarrhea starts) that happened twice before I was smart and sat on the toilet with a bucket. Then still feeling awful managed to fall asleep for a little while. Thankfully on a bunch of towels cuz I woke up from shitting them! I have been super freezing and super hot and just so exhausted. Worried about dehydration especially being pregnant. Tried drinking water but couldn't keep it down. Waited till it all seemed over to try again. Finally stopped both and fell asleep on and off, then DH starts feeling sick so I will have to take care of dd today when i was hoping to hide in the bedroom while he watched her. She just woke up. I got up quickly to go to her and just dry heaved a few more times. Man this is AWFUL and it's been a LONG day!

 

[SweetV]

That's awful. That happened to me in my last pregnancy. DH came home to find me in the bathtub covered in who knows what. I just laid there as I wasn't sure what end things were going to come out of. I couldn't keep down water for 2 days. I really hope you are feeling better soon.
