Thanks pinkorblue how r u feeling?

Merri, EDD is 25 July 13.

 

[Pinkorblue11]

You're welcome. I feel pretty good, ended up getting a McDonald cerclage at 12.3 weeks. So far all has been fine and I'm feeling more hopeful for this little one.

 

[Scorpio23]

I just looked it up. Glad to hear that everything is fine

 

[merristems]

pink Im glad things are going well for you
Scorpio I hope you're feeeling well too, any sickness at all? With regards to your tongue I have noticed mine looks redder fatter and the viens underneath are dark purple-did you notice any difference-maybe this is how acus tell if you are pregnant!

 

[Scorpio23]

I didnt check my tongue.
Yes lots of morning sickness with minimal throwing up.
Im keeping food down which is good.
Im grazing constantly threw out the day to help minimise the nausea.

 

[merristems]

just double checked with a FRER & BFP here! eeekkkkk

 

[Pinkorblue11]

Scorpio~ I hope ms doesn't hit you too hard, glad the grazing helps minimize sickness though.

Merri~ So happy for your keep sticking little bean!!

 

[Scorpio23]

Hey ladies
Just wanted to announce that my SIL is pregnant and due 6 days after me.
She had a MC in Oct 11 and lost her son in the 2nd trimester a few months ago.
Shes gone back to our acupuncturist for treatment. She doesnt seem to have a problem conceiving. Its sustaining the pregnancy thats the issue. I will update u on how she goes with acu.

 

[Pinkorblue11]

Congrats to your SIL and wishing her a healthy, happy and as peaceful as possible 9 months. I'm so sorry about her little boy. Best wishes with her acu visits.

Are you ladies still going? I would if I wasn't on bed rest but I do plan to go back in early April.

 

[merristems]

Congrats to your sister Scorpio thats wonderful news you are bump buddies But im so sorry to hear about her little boy so so sad

Hope youre all well I havnt been back to acu for ages not sure about it at the mo maybe once i have had my scan. Lots of love xx

 

[Scorpio23]

Im not sure if I will be going back either.
Plus I cant afford it. Am looking for a new house so will need to save all my pennies.

 

[merristems]

yes all our money is being spent on the house we need to do so much before the small one arrives!

 

[Nicki123]

Hi everyone.

Scorpio, that's lovely news about your SIL, I have my fx for her.
I got a Xmas card from my lovely acu lady. I am so tempted to go back but am also trying to save the pennies... I'm thinking of emailing her anyway just to catch up as she is so nice, but I might ask her if she thinks there is any benefit to just going once a month as I do miss her.

Hope everyone else is well x

 

[Scorpio23]

Hey Nicki. Happy new yr. Its nice to hear from u.
Thats great of her to send u a card.

I had some light bleeding yesterday & went to ER. They only did a blood test. Said it was fine & sent me home. Scheduled for a scan tmr morning. The bleeding has almost stopped.
I pray that it didnt mean anything.

I also have my 1st OB appt nxt Monday. If there r any complications I was considering going to see an acupuncturist.

 

[Nicki123]

Hey Scorpio - I'm sure it's nothing but can understand that you are worried. Glad you have a scan booked for tomorrow, will be thinking of you x

 

[Briss]

ladies, I hope you do not mind me joining. I have been doing acu +herbs for the last 10 weeks and my acu doc uses the same needle points before and after ovulation. I am particularly concerned with points on my tummy representing uterus and ovaries cos she also puts electrics through them. I asked her about it but she assured me that these points are safe after O. I am still concerned cos everywhere I read that they should not be used after O. Do you have any experience with these points? also, do you continue with acu once pregnant?

 

[Scorpio23]

Hey Briss,
My acu lady only used points in my tummy before OV and then after, on my back.
I initially used the herbs after D&C to bring on AF and then acu to bring on regular cycles (cycles were 42 days). She said once pregnant not to do acu.
HOWEVER, my SIL is doing acu now (shes 10 weeks pregnant & lost her baby in the 2nd tri last July).
We see the same lady. Maybe u can sit down and talk with her at ur next appt.

 

[Briss]

Scorpio thank you very much! unfortunately my acu doc is chinese and her English is very limited, it's almost impossible to have a sensible conversation. I was trying to bring this up a few times but she just says it's safe. I am due for my next session on Sunday and I will be around 10 DPO, I even think of skipping one week ...

 

[Scorpio23]

Hey everybody. Hope all is well. How have you been?

Just an update that it's a boy
I was sure of this from the get go.
Had dreams of a boy and am craving salty foods.
Hair and skin is looking pretty good.

I discovered in my last scan that I have a septated uterus.
I had my anatomy scan yesterday. Sonologist says that the septum is only partial.
She thinks that this will not cause any issues.
I did do a bit of research about septums and it is said to cause miscarriages.
Other more severe cases can lead to premature labour. Every pregnancy is different.

I'm feeling very releaved and will be seeing my OB next Monday so more details.

I don't think I'll be going back to get acu until after the birth.
Would like to try again for #2 after breastfeeding.
I'm getting ahead of myself a bit LOL
