Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[lj2245]

I still feal a wee bit queasy, keep hiccupping and burping. I'm still off all the foods I was off but feel a lot better overall...managed 2 rolls and bacon this morning! Just had a cake too. Jeez!

I'm also not as tired as I was, couldn't sleep until 11pm last night and was awake at 6:45am!

Its so weird all I can stomach is greasy food lol..x

Well I'm shattered me and hubby had a row last night and I felt bad so had some naughty cuddles this morning to make it up to him I can't believe thts the 2nd time I've done it in 4 wks... Just too tired for it really..x

 

[lj2245]

Lol at least you're getting some! I've been too scared to since I found out I was pg! Have put a ban on it until I reach 12 weeks! Having some right mental dreams right enough lol

 

[CherylC3]

I had a ban too but I think what's going to happen will happen so bugger it lol.... He prob won't get it again for another few wks lol...x

 

[CherylC3]

I hate the first Tri forum it's so sad all they lovely ladies losing their babies it really hits home when I look on it. X

 

[lj2245]

I know what you mean, I don't go on there any more. It's so much help when you first find out you are pg and need to ask questions about everything but once you get past the first week or so it just....brings you down It seems to be lots of TTCers asking if they are pregnant, poor ladies spotting and other unhappy events. I used to go on to answer the questions because god knows enough ladies answered mine but I stopped about a week ago. I only use this thread now lol.

I'm still feeling awful today. Tablets gave me extreme restlessness and insomnia last night. It was horrible!! So now I don't wana take them! I'm exhausted today thanks to being up all night!

I'm the same as you lj. I only go on this thread now. All the negative stuff in the first tri forum was making me paranoid!! I can't imagine how they all must be feeling!! xx

 

[lj2245]

I just sneezed and got a terrible pain in my lower left pelvic area. Hoping it's ligament pain.

Shorty after it I swear there was fluttering in my womb. I know it's crazy, I'm only 7 weeks pregnant and it was no doubt gas of some kind, but it totally felt like there was a bird flapping its wings in there or something lol!!

 

[bbymc]

Lol, even if it was gas. It's lovely to think it could be the baby! :-D. I think the first time I feel the baby it'll freak me out lol! Xx

 

[lj2245]

It's definitely gas, or some kind of spasms. Baby is only about 1cm long lol so not nearly big enough to make a racket like that

Ever since I had my son I have had a recurring dream where I have my hand on my tummy and feel a baby kicking. In my dream, every time, I say to myself 'Well I know last time was a dream but I'm not asleep this time so it must be real'. It's so strange. Shaun used to poke his hands and feet out my sides and I loved chasing his movements. I cannot wait to feel that again. I also cannot wait to see an entire bump shift from one side to the other and completely change shape. It's mental! I'm so excited!!

 

[CherylC3]

Aw I can't wait to hav a bump. Xxx

I have started getting this too. I worry that the babies will pop out when it happens! I had this with DD too.

I had my scan today. They have put my dates back a week for the time being. We also discussed the CVS test for abnormalities. Not sure whether to have it of just a nuchal scan. What is everyone doing?

 

[bbymc]

Great scan pics! We've decided not to get any tests done cos we feel that if they came back with a 'higher risk' result, we'd then have a dilemma of what to do. But also, you can't test for everything, so I'm not sure I see the point in testing for anything. Also though, I work with children with all kinds of disabilities in my job and although I wouldn't choose that for my family if I could, if that was the hand we were dealt, we would deal with it.

I mean, if you got the test for down syndrome for example, it only gives you a level of risk result, which could be wrong. I think I'd rather not know. What will be will be and all that. Lol.

Not everyone feels like that, obviously. What's everyone else's thoughts? Xx

 

[marymoomin]

I think the CVS test is high risk with a 2% miscarry rate. I dont think I would take that risk. Also, like you I dont think the results will influence anything. My friend was told her son was high risk and they had to consider abortion, however he is 3 mths and is completely fine.
I think we will have nuchal, just because we would have a scan then anyway.

 

[bbymc]

Yeah, if we did have any done, it would be that one. Purely cos we'd already be in getting the scan. Luckily, my bf totally shares my view on whether or not to test so I doubt we will opt for any. Xx

 

[lj2245]

I am happy to have blood tests and scans, I always think it's better to be informed and prepared. I won't be having any amnios or anything that can cause miscarriage though. My son was high risk for downs and then ruled out at a follow up scan. No harm done but if he had had a disability I'd liked to have known about it to give myself the time to educate myself!

Your scan pics are lovely Mary

My MS has totally vanished. I have eaten 2 rolls and bacon, a massive bag of doritos, a banana and am about to eat a baked potato with tuna. I feel famished. I am so worried something is wrong though. My MS vanished at this time with the MMC (died at 8 weeks gestation) and I am so worried the same thing is going to happen. DO you think it's worth phoning the EPU? I was only scanned on Tues so not sure if they would scan me again to put my mind at rest?

 

[bbymc]

I don't think there is any harm in phoning. But maybe wait until tomorrow? You might find it comes back. If you're majorly worried though, I would definitely phone! Xx

My morning sickness has pretty much vanished today too. I'm 7+4 too. Mine was so bad yesterday I thought I was gona hav to go to hospital. So maybe we're just having good days! This happened one day last week too and came back with avengance the next day. So I'm just trying to enjoy a largely MS free day!! Lol x

If it gives you peace of mind call them. That said I had no ms yesterday at all, but tonight I am green!

 

[lj2245]

I'm feeling a tiny bit queasy just now. Nothing that stopped me having choc milkshake and some choc philadelphia dunker type things. It's like it's gone back to how the MS was when I first found out I was pregnant. I did wish for a break from it, hopefully that's all it is! I've managed to eat lots and I am now shattered so off to bed. Hopefully the MS will return when I am recharged and ready to face it head on again!

PS -Your baby in the washing bowl photo...my husband was just talking about what we would need for baby and mentioned a changing unit. I had to laugh, I got a fancy one for my son and it had a bath in it which you filled and then had to empty with an attached hose and a bucket. We used the entire thing once and from then on it was in the sink or in the big bath! Even the changing mat part didn't get used again, it was always a towel on the floor and then after a couple of weeks when skills were gained, over the knee! Makes me laugh to think about how the first few nappy changes use about a million wipes each and then a few weeks later you can do a whole stinking nappy with one hand and one wipe, folded over a thousand times!
