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

[peanutmomma]

morning ladies hope everyone is getting along with pregnancy symptoms at least okay today
AFM- I feel like I have just ran a marathon. My bbs are sore from feeling full and heavy But, I was able to put a bra on. My and and hips and even sides feel like I was working out in my sleep or something LOL. I am a bit nauseous this morning, but it's due to my diabetes not pregnancy. See they tell me most MS is from momma having a low blood sugar. Well, I get it from that, but if my Blood Sugars are to high I get nauseous too once I get it back down I will be ok. I get to see an endocrinologist for my diabetes tomorrow So happy then WEDNESDAY I GET TO SEE PEANUT ON THE SCREEN !!!!!

Wow, that is a long wait, are you in the UK? Can you get a private scan earlier?

 

[Gemie]

I think it's common for USA mums to not have scans until 18/20 weeks?

I'm really struggling at the moment. Last week LO was really ill, I was struck down with MS and I felt pregnant. Now I have come down with a really bad cold, I literally cannot breathe because I have so much congestion in my nose, my sinuses are throbbing and I can feel it all in my ears - I also have the worst cough which is just constant. I haven't slept properly now for about 10 days, firstly because DS was coughing all night or being sick but now its because my cough is keeping me awake - I'm physically and mentally exhausted

I'm really worried that because my coughing has been quite violent and severe that it's caused something to go wrong as I just don't feel pregnant anymore I've not had any ms for a few days and the cramps and stuff I was having seem to have stopped too. Having already had one MMC I know my body may try and hold on to the pregnancy even if it isn't viable

I'm at my wits end, I'm tired but the cough is stopping me from sleeping whether it be in the day or at night. I can hardly take anything for my cold which doesn't help as I can't even dose myself up. I've tried all the other things to ry and relieve it (steamy bath, head over bowl of water, lots of fluids, honey & lemon, glycerin cough mixture, lozenges, vicks vaporub on the soles of my feet/back/chest and neck, etc) I've been taking paracetamol and nothing is helping.

I just feel like crying right now

 

[peanutmomma]

yes it is apparently common in the US to not have scans til 18/20 weeks. If you are high risk, have good insurance, or find a great clinic like I did they will do a scan around 7-10 weeks for dating purposes and to see if the pregnancy is viable.

 

[Excited4First]

Yes I'm in the US. With my first i was in a different state, Maryland, so they must do things differently as I had one at 6 and 10 weeks there and never had complications.

 

[zowiey]

smiley shazza, I'm sure baby is fine, but I know that no amount of times people say that, if you're worried it won't make a difference. Could it be that all pg symptoms have taken a back seat to your cold? Sorry I don't have any good advice or words of comfort again & take it easy xx

 

[missjennakate]

Hi all.

Hope you are all well!
My cramps seem to have gone now. Was getting them at night every other day at 4 weeks pregnant. Now just get little twinges. I miss feeling them a little because it was a reminder that there is a little bun in there!

Have my first midwife appointment on the 8th. Exciting.
I am wishing the time away!

I really hope you feel better soon. You can use sudofed decongestant spray for your nose.i can't bear to not not breathe through my nose and I was told it was okay Blythe doctor and I used it all through with poppy and I've used it a few times this time too.
Do you have an early reassurance scan booked at all? X

 

[gardenofedens]

I'm making my appointment today! Tying to get in on Thursday or Friday . With my first pregnancy I went to my regular gyn doctor, not ob office, and they did an internal scan. Do they usually do an internal at the very first appointment? I guess I can ask today, lol. So excited! When are your first appointments ladies?
I just made my appointment, it's April 10. I don't get my first scan until 18-24 weeks! With my first i had a scan at 6 weeks and 10 weeks. Long wait it seems this time.

Wow! That is a long time to wait for the scan!! What will they do at the first appt then? Just a doppler? Hearing the heartbeat is better than nothing but that sucks! I'm in California and had scans at 4, 5 and 7 weeks and then every 4-6 weeks for the duration of pregnancy with my daughter. I didn't even ask if the first appt included a scan, I just assumed it did. It had better or else I'll be ticked I waited so long! They offered me an appt this week but I knew there wouldn't be a whole lot to see at five weeks so I pushed it back to seven weeks. Ugh, my dr better be prepared for a scan!! Lol

 

[peanutmomma]

hope everyone starts to feel better soon.

 

[gardenofedens]

I'm not feeling pg at all. I'm trying to not freak out and be thankful for the lack of symptoms but it is still worrisome! Last time around this time I had major food aversions and lots of cramping. I haven't had anything yet this pregnancy...hmmm, maybe I'll test again. Although don't tests stop working at some point because the hcg is too high? When is that? That would freak me out even more instead of being reassuring...

Thanks for the hun. I did wonder if it may be that my cold has just taken over and is pushing everthing else into the background. I just want to get a decent nights sleep and start to feel better again.

Thanks hun, I might try and get some of that Sudofed spray then. I haven't told the doctor I'm pregnant yet, am going to get an appointment tomorrow. Was also going to ask what I can take for my cold as this is ridiculous - I just feel utterly rotten I was also going to take the opportunity to ask about an early scan but I know the last time we were told they don't provide early scans in this area on the NHS unless you have had multiple losses. Am going to say about the coughing and my worries about not feeling pregnant anymore though. If we can't get one on the NHS I'm going to pay for a private one just for the reassurance that things are ok, that was what we did when I was pregnant with DS.

I wish I could take a dose of Night Nurse as I know that would knock me out and give me a good nights sleep at least but very much doubt that woulfd be allowed

 

[Storked]

Eden, Pee sticks should still be working good for you
maybe you won't get a lot of symptoms until 6 weeks?

take a Benadryl to help you sleep. I was advised by my doctor to take one when I was shattered but couldn't switch off they really work they have the same ingredient in them as over the counter sleep aids but are safe in pregnancy. X
