Quick question I have really bad congestion right now it's also giving me a headache what can I do to relieve this pressure in my nose and head?

Sweetgirl75 - i would say warm face cloths over your head and face.. that helps me alot.. Also my dr said Tylenol is good but Advil is not but call your doctor and they can recommend something for the pain.. Also take a hot steamy shower..

I really want to join you ladies but I'm feeling very anxious about doing so as I'm going to see my GP tonight about cramps and bleeding. I'm so scared that it's all over before it's even begun! It started out as brown spotting and has been a mixture of brown, reddish brown and pink since with no clots then for the past two days I've had cramps. I'm hoping I can come back here tonight and join in properly!

fingers crossed everything is ok

Welcome mommychris! :wave:

AFM had my 1st scan today. Everything is perfect, right size and location and HB of 160 it is such a relief to see the baby decided to announce on FB today. It's early still but now that I've seen baby and HB chances are low of anything happening and most on there know already! Here is my scan pic and our announcement pic

 

[SweetV]

LynAnne - I hope everything works out and you will be joining us shortly

DH - Congrats on the scan! Super cute announcement as well!

 

[Melsue129]

DH Congrats!!! Love the announcement!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

DH- Super cute!!! I told my family already on Easter hahaha since I had the ultrasound and heard the heartbeat! It was at 169 so close to yours! I was thinking of announcing it on fb on Mother's day

When is everyone else announcing it and how!?

 

[aley28]

I'm thinking of holding off on Facebook announcement until the anatomy scan. Mostly because I don't make much use of Facebook anyway, and the people who need to know already do know! So if I just wait until we know the gender, I only have to do it once.

I probably won't do anything too creative. I announced my last pregnancy in just a status update. I might do pictures or t-shirts or something this time.

I'm holding off Facebook for a while still, have my scan next week, so I'll tell extended family and friends who still don't know after that, and tell other people I work closely with at work. Then I'll start thinking about when I want to post it on Facebook, I'll definitely wait till after 12 weeks. I have so many people on their, people from the town I grew up in, university friends, old coworkers etc. so it's a big group!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Ya, I am not sure how to announce it. I know I want to do it on Mother's Day but I want to include my son and hubby too lol

 

[Sunny27]

I'm going to announce on FB with the postcard I made to announce to my family once we are 12 weeks.

Hi all,

Mind if I join? I don't know how I missed this!

I'm due 21st November; do wants to find out gender this time, I'm still not sure! We stayed team yellow with dd and I loved not knowing but think it would be special to know what we're having but keep it between oh and I as a little secret.

I got my scan dates through a few days ago as May 11 And July 3rd which was nice as they never sent them both out last time, just one then the other after the 12 week scan.

We've told our parents and ive told my nan who I'm really close to and my best friend. Asides from that Im going to wait until the 12 week scan, although I won't put anything on facebook at all - I'm not really sure why, I just announced the birth of dd on there. I like the excitement of telling people, although I know some people have family and friends all over the country/world so completely get it.

Xx

First appt Monday and can't wait!!

 

[SweetV]

My DH and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary of dating in June so I'm thinking of waiting until then to announce. My close friends and family will know by then and I'm thinking of telling mine and DH's family on mothers day. The only person I've told so far other than DH is my boss as I was put on restrictions at work.

 

[littlesteph]

i'm planning on announcing after my 12 week scan, going to have a white board in between my boys with a scan pic on it, then words pointing to my youngest saying "mummy and daddy say i'm going to be a big brother" then pointing to my eldest "well i'm still the bigger brother". that's the plan at the moment might change though.

 

[EllaC]

Can I join? I am due November 20th.

I already have a 4 year old son and an angel baby boy who I lost last year at 21 weeks.

Nice to meet you all!

 

[Tricks26]

Morning all how is everyone's MS and other symptoms mine are very draining

 

[Embo78]

First tri sucks big time. All day nausea and exhaustion kicks my ass almost all day long

 

[Dollybird]

Hello ladies! Sorry ive been MIA on BNB. I've been on the fb page more it's a bit easier. Anyways I had a scan today! Measured 7+4 ( I thought I was 7+6 so not far off), and a good strong HB seen. Not a great pic as my bladder wasn't full but I saw baby and hb and that's the main thing. Still no Ms here. Sore boobs and back but that's about it. Although I'm a hungry horse! Still seems weird though as my Ms with my son was horrific! Xxx

 

[ambernwxo]

I'm prettyyy sure we're going to wait until 12 weeks to announce it to everyone (close family and friends already know).. DH asked if we could just post my ultrasound picture when I get it on Wednesday, but I'm only going to be 8 weeks then and I feel like I would jinx us or something, I'm so weird these days about anything baby related no matter what it is, lol.

I'm pretty bloated now too - I can't button my jeans without it feeling like it's cutting off my circulation lol. I've been stealing DH's sweatpants all the time because they're the only thing that feels even remotely comfortable.

I think I *might* have some sort of bladder infection going on - Every time I pee (which is way more than usual) I feel sort of little tightening cramps and pressure but it goes away after a little bit.. I heard it's pretty common to get uti's and bladder infections early on in pregnancy, but I'm not sure if I should go get it checked up on right now, or if it's safe to wait until my appointment on Wednesday to bring it up to my OB..?? I wouldn't say it's painful at all, just more like my uterus is tightening or something lol.
