I feel you guys on the morning sickness. I have been having it really bad I had it bad with my last 2 pregnancies too so I am not surprised but it would be nice if this time was different!

 

[LDC]

Hi dolly! Thats great news about your scan, im so glad everything was good and you got to see the heartbeat.

My 12 week scan is 4 weeks monday...it seems sooooo long away. Theyve told me I need to go for diabetes testing around 24 weeks due to the size of dd.

Im hungry 24/7 especially In the morning but im symptomless really (started a thread on first tri board) but that was the same with dd, so fingers crossed for a similar pregnancy!

Xx

 

[EllaC]

I have been very hungry too, but also very nauseous so it's rough

I have my first scan tomorrow, excited to see the little bean... hopefully it will put my worrying mind to rest too.

 

[MissyMojo]

hey all
im still about but get little BnB time when its the holidays, eldest goes back to school monday though so things will get more organised

I have little in the way of symptoms
food aversions mainly - which is odd for me as with the boys i was really unwell. constantly nauseaous , this time food just tastes wrong and i have no appetite

after giving it a lot of thought - im planning a VBAC Homebirth!

 

[xCherylx]

Last pregnancy I had no sickness just food aversion 20> however I am really struggling to eat! I am maybe eating half as much as I used to which is the reason I have been losing weight. It mainly comes at night time but its on and off all day

 

[littlesteph]

eating is hard for me to, I think there is more I can't eat because just makes me feel ill then foods I can eat. not that I eat a lot anyway but having the choice would be nice.

Welcome EllaC and LDC! :wave:

AFM: 8 weeks today! I'm so over the all day nausea, vegetable and chicken noodle soup is about all I can stomach. All other food sounds awful! Is it 2nd tri yet??? I feel like a bad wife/mom. I'm not as playful with dd and having trouble caring about household chores, I just feel so crappy and tired all day. DH understands and doesn't complain and helps more. But it's frustrating to me, makes me feel useless and all the stuff I need to do but don't stresses me out. only finally managed to clean all the dishes out of the sink since the smell was making me sick.

 

[Trying4BbyBoy]

Haha I can totally relate DHBH0930!

 

[Tricks26]

Lol DH. That is like reading something that came straight out of my head!!! Seriously when is the glowing starting

 

[CertainTurton]

Hi ladies how are you all feeling? Sorry to gear some of you are so sick, mine is just nausea but having had it for 7 weeks now I am pretty fed up! Getting huge cravings for Chinese takeaway noodles too!! Seriously need some now (yes it is 9am here...). Had a fairly busy weekend with my birthday and being away and have just been exhausted looking forward the 2nd tri!
Just heard the hb again-135 I love my doppler. 2 weeks until the scan...can't wait.
Im so scared to betelling my boss tomorrow- I know she has been ttc and had 2 losses so its really hard but if you see this pic its hard to hide now as my work uniform is really tight

[LDC]

Im feeling good...just feels like ages until my scan and that keeps playing on my mind. 4 weeks tomorrow.

im glad youre finding your doppler useful certain im contemplating whether to get one to help before the scan but think ill freak if I cant find anything. Your bump is coming along nicely too! Xx

 

[Butterfly2015]

With the intermittent bleeding I'm getting I ordered a Doppler Friday should hopefully give me some piece of mind can't wait for it to get here lol

 

[SweetV]

I had a bit of bleeding yesterday and my doppler is the only thing that saved me from losing my mind over it.

 

[Embo78]

My sickness totally cleared up today and I had a bit of a wobble. My Doppler saved the day too

 

[littlesteph]

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.

I wouldn't wait till Wednesday, I had one before I found out I was pregnant, took 3 courses of anti-biotics to clear it, well tests showed it had cleared after one course but because I still had symptoms and had really bad backpain, to the point I could not move they were concerned it started to travel to my kidneys. cranberry juice will help ease it but because you are pregnant its best to see someone soon as.

 

[littlesteph]

I've been trying so hard not to buy a dobbler, in my last pregnancy my midwife told me it was a bad idea, theres a lot a dobbler can't tell, she said although it will pick up baby's heartbeat it won't tell you if baby is in distress. Part of me so badly wants to buy one though just so I can hear baby's heartbeat. hubby had told me not to though.
thought I was starting to feel better today, but nope about an hour ago the throwing up started, only a little bit but enough to make me feel ill.

 

[Mrs_Bump]

I'm not getting a Doppler because last time I had an anterior placenta and even the midwives struggled to find a heartbeat. I think I would find it too scary if I have the same thing again. That said as I have a sch and bleed on and off my nerves are shredded. I honestly think I'm getting a bit depressed about the whole thing. Roll on 27/4 and the scan.

 

[Embo78]

I had an anterior placenta with Max and I didn't pick him up on the Doppler until 14 weeks exactly. After that I heard him every day until his movements became clear.

With this one I got the hb at 8+5 so maybe it's a posterior placenta

Edited to add - with Max I used the angel sounds Doppler. With this one sonoline B

 

[SweetV]

I had an anterior placenta with my last pregnancy as well and had no trouble with the sonoline doppler from 11 weeks on.

 

[Amcolecchi]

I had an anterior placenta with my son too and I had all vaginal ultrasounds the first trimester and it was fine but after that they had issues with the doppler too!
