Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

[pa2k84]

Is anyone else extremely tired? I feel like I'm in a coma. I am a person who has NEVER been a napper and it hit me hard in the beginning and now this week it's like comatosed all over again!! I need energy I have only been up for a window of 2 hours all day and to be honest I hate it. I take kids to school and ttrn come sleep till they get home and then I am in bed by 8. I'm normally up till 12-1 easily. This pregnancy completely skipped ms but omg the fatigue is horrible. Any suggestions?

No suggestions i am afraid, there have been days when i have been dead on my feet but can't just shut down. I work in a nursery so on the go constantly. After lunch is a killer for me, getting the children to sleep, dark room, quiet just rubbing or patting little ones. The times i have just shut my eyes whilst doing it only to open with a jolt knowing was prob only a minute or two but that i had fallen asleep - not good. Tea and coffee not agreeing with me at the moment so can't even get caffine boost

Yes! I've had bloods done today as I'm so exhausted, I could literally sleep the clock round.
Try spatone it's really good, it's a iron rich a turn mineral water sachet that you put into orange juice take 2 a day while pregnant. It's really good but I think my iron issues are a bit too much for it to conted with tis time

I ordered a grazing box earlier, I'm going to try sounds really good.

Ironically someone on my Facebook who's over in America posted a link and I remember someone (peanut?) on the thread saying they wished they had them over in the us

Thanks ladies

I'm trying to think positive, but I just wish I knew wth is going on with my body had no more spotting since, but I feel really tender just above my pubic bone. But then I think I'm looking for anything & everything. I'm a little annoyed with myself, as I very nearly booked a private scan on Mon, for Tuesday- how I wish I had now. But then again I'd still be worried if this had happened regardless!

Also, my scan on Sunday, is at the hospital we had our first ivf, so I pretty much know I can walk to & from the car crying without seeing to many people! Always a plus point!

Tower, believe me I'm frustrated, I mean we are so lucky in so many ways, we moan & grumble about the nhs, but we are so lucky to have what we do, and in 98% of the times it is amazing. And I understand that there really is nothing that can be done in early pregnancy, but I live in a quite a large county, and we have one epu- one! And it's open 8.30-12.30 mon-Fri & Sun! I dont think it would hurt to open it longer, or even untill 10/11pm, I would even happily pay to use it, and I'm sure countless other women would to, just for peace of mind.
Right, I'm off my soap box!

Goodnight everyone!

I have zero energy, and am shattered, but have a horrible time getting to sleep...it's torture! With DS I was going to bed at 8 regularly, but this time I'm lucky if I get to sleep before 1:00am. I'm hoping the tiredness just magically goes away!

I don't have many suggestions, but I do find keeping busy helps me forget how tired I am: getting outside always helps, or doing some art/cooking/sensory projects with DS up at the table. It just distracts me enough to stop thinking about how tired I am!

zowiey I'm praying for you and you little beans hunni it must be torture for you

gemie thanks for the post I will have to check it out when DH gets paid next week.
So, I thought today would be a great day for me. I went back to sleep after I posted earlier and had two yes two in a row sexual dreams and on the second I woke up feeling like I just had one of the best orgasms ever!! TMI so sorry. I thought, "Okay, things are looking better awesome" Then, I dealt with another round of low blood sugars but have just felt off today. We went to the store and I got a lot of prescriptions filled for free with he new insurance. So lovely to know I can take care of myself now!!
We walked around and I told DH about my dreams and how it was kind of embarrassing, but cool because my OB said that the dreams would get loads better in second trimester. Then, I got hit with a horrible painful migraine and when we got home I was in tears it hurt so bad and for the first time in many years I felt that I was going to vomit. Usually, if I feel like this I have to make myself do so because it doesn't come up. I have a strong gag reflex I guess. Well, I was acting like a child because it hurt so bad and I was so unsure if I was going to get sick or if it was just indigestion. DH puts a cool wash rag onto my forehead and holds me and tells me it's ok that I don't feel well and to relax. He loves to care for me when I am ill. then, as I was almost relaxed, I had to sprint to the toilet and up my blood orange came. EWW!! GROSS
I felt loads better, but it was weird. I was able to nap after for like an hour and a half. But, I have been up now for almost two hours and this migraine is not letting up. I have taken Tylenol. Also, I am nauseated all over again.
This is worse feeling than what I thought was MS in weeks 6-8. Can MS show its ugly head all over again to get its last hurrah in 1st trimester?
What really bites is mt lower tummy where baby peanut is aches so very bad now. I hope this goes away soon. But, any advice on if this could be MS again would be great.

Sorry for complaining I feel like a total tool, but I thought I was going to be a lucky one and not have had it bad

Has anyone had their 12 week appointment? I had mine a little early because I asked for it and they did a pap smear, and found the baby's heart on the Doppler but I was really hoping for more baby pics is it normal to not get a real ultrasound at this point?

 

[peanutmomma]

Sorry, I forgot
Zowey I truly truly hope this is just stress and that both twins are doing great. Granted mine was a vanishing twin, and I didn't have any spotting or cramps but I pray for you. I hope Sunday when you get your scan the Doctor just says it was old lining and that you are one of the ladies that sometimes spots during pregnancy.

Tower, I am totally exhausted twin I hope we both feel better soon

The Friday before last I had my first migraine in my life and it lasted 4 days of straight and every time I would sit up i would puke from my brain feelin like I was swelling and like I had knives in my temples. That's why when I got my appointment that next week they gave me a reassurance scan. But they say that headaches are a pregnancy symptom and I was shocked cuz it was horrible! 4 full days of sending kids to family so that I could sleep in total darkness.

I was scared the throw up was ms just suddenly showing up but it passed with the headache so hopefully your just like me
Juice isn't the best everyday option but it helped keep my blood sugars level with out much food so I ate saltines and drank cranberry/grape juice for 4 dad and they said that was perfectly fine, once I started that I kept it down and didn't throw up again. Maybe try that if you can. I'm so sorry that was the worst thing I've experienced this whole time

Massive

 

[Tower6]

Oh and they recommended that juice because that's what they give you if you end up in the hospital. They always serve cran/grape so I got that

 

[Angeltk42]

Late nap after work means insomnia at night but the nap was well worth it in my opinion!!! Lol

 

[Tower6]

Heart burn heart burn heart burn lol everytime I eat with this little bean

 

[teacup22]

So I had cheesecake for brekkie..... Oops!
Is anyone feeling definite movements yet? I am so excited that I know it's deffo bubs now

 

[Dazed125]

Oh Zowiey it's so awful for you being in limbo like this. Fingers crossed it's nothing o worry about and perhaps the sneezing just stretched things inside a bit which caused the bleed? Everything is so sensitive at this stage hun, it could just be residual bleed from an irritated cervix due to sneezing loads.

Dazed are you a raspberry tomorrow hun? Can't remember what week 10 fruit is. I think I might be a prune? I do love fruit changing day though and I finally hit double figures tomorrow, woohoo.

Hello to everyone else by the way

Yay I'm a raspberry! I'm not sure how I feel about our Los being referred to as prunes though!!! They are far cuter! congrats on 10 weeks, not long till second tri now x

I don't have any suggestions but I just wanted today I feel exactly the same. I just get in from work and go to bed. I don't know how you girls with other kids cope x

Not sure what's normal in the US but in the UK we all get an ultrasound around the 12 week mark x
