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

Sea bands took the edge off with poppy. (I wasn't actually sick with her though just felt it constantly )

Not tried them this time, I bought the roll on natural oils thing they do especially for preggos and that seems quite effective. But again not actually being sick just feel it x

 

[LadyE]

Iv just ordered some sea bands to see if they help. Is anyone else using them or used them in previous pregnancy?

YES! I used them on my last pregnancy and they were heaven sent!

This time around Im using the same ones and I think I might need to buy a new pair (maybe they stretched out or something) since its helping but not as much as I remember the last time...

Where do you get these?

I remember a few weeks back someone posted a thread in 1st tri about something you can buy from boots to take thats meant to be brill, but i cant remember what it was. Does anyone remember seeing that thread? x

Caffeine free coke is helping a lot

I'm still taking my pregnacare conception as I'd stocked up so have loads left lol also the mw gave some vitamins they're giving away now whe y ou have your first appt it's a mix of vit c vit d and folic acid so I'm taking those too. I did hear if you're a bigger person your body Leeds more folic acid than a normal sized person so I'm assuming the double up is a good thing.

Oh odd she said they give you your first bottle at your appt then where you run out the mw gives you a voucher thing and you collect them yourself or something like that

Afternoon ladies :wave:

I've been looking at the sea bands, I've always wondered if they work, I travel really badly too, so I probably should invest in some.

Teacup, caffine free coke has become my best friend- also doesn't taste to bad on the return either!!

Rant ahead, sorry

I have my scan tomorrow, literally I am pooping my pants, it's not until 12.45, so tomorrow morning is going to drag! It's so stupid, but I'm terrified of crying in front of the nurse, it stems from the ivf, it's such a hugely scientific procedure that even though the nurses & Drs are nice, it's still all very black and white, either you have embryos to transfer or you don't. And because of that I always feel that I can't show any sort of emotion, which in turn leads me to make myself more stressed. I keep imagining lying in the room, and them telling me there's no heartbeat and how I'll react, purely because I'm scared to cry, I mean who does this??

Everyone keeps telling me that I'll be fine, I've had no bleeding, and am having symptoms, but still I can't let myself believe it. Getting pg is so easy for so many people, and we've had such a bloody hard struggle to get here, so why all of a sudden should things get easy? That's not how things work for us. All we know is dissapointment & frustration. My family all know about the ivf and the pg, as unfortunately my cousin took his own life 6 weeks ago, he was only 26. They had to know why I couldn't help my aunt as much as i wanted to. But now they all believe this is the bright light we need. A reminder that no matter how bleak & dark times get, it always gets better. but what if this isnt the glimmer of hope they think it is, what if I give them only more bad news. Sorry for the rant girls, but I've had such a rubbish couple of months, and I'm so scared this is going to be the icing on the cake. I've tried to keep this in, as everyone has more than enough to worry about, without me adding to it.

Sorry again, I hate any sort of drama, and i hate being the one with the "drama" but I needed to get it out somehow. Sorry again.

Wonder if they give me them when i have my hospital appt, when they do bloods etc? Funny how, even though we are all under the nhs (in uk) the way they do things differs so much from area to area. x

Don't buy the branded sea bands they're expensive!

I've noticed that too! It's mad.
I'd ask them definitely, if they're giving it away take it! Lol

 

[LoraLoo]

Zowiey I'm so sorry you are feeling so worried and anxious. Dont ever be afraid to cry, I cry nearly everytime i see the midwife or go for a scan etc Im sure they must see it all the time, you arent a robot, you have feelings.

Im sorry to hear about your cousin too very sad. My BIL killed himself 2 years ago now, he was only 25, so tragic, and i think death from suicide is very hard to accept

Im sure everything will be fine with your scan- how many weeks are you? xx

 

[zowiey]

Thanks ladies

Lora, I'm sorry to hear about your brother in law. To be honest, his death hasn't sunk in at all, I still fully expect to see him, there was no warning at all. And it breaks my heart to think of him so desperate and broken. And seeing my aunt, and his girlfriend is so hard, nothing will ever make this easier for them. They are empty shells, my aunt rings my mum in the middle of the night, and she can't even talk, she's just hysterical because she's dreamt of him. It's the worst loss Ive ever had to deal with, there's no comfort or answers, and there never will be.

I'm 8 weeks tomorrow, I had a previous early m/c /chem pg after our first ivf, but I started spotting almost straight away, and lost it all a week later. So I know I should be positive. But I think because I've bottled everything up for the last few weeks, It's coming out as anxiety. Also, just to add, I don't think that this situation is more important than my cousin dying- I think it's just easier for me to deal with. Oh I don't know, my brain is scrambled.

I still expect to see Matthew too, even 2 years later. I still see his car about and i always look into the drivers seat and expect to see him. I really feel for your Aunt, there is no pain worse than losing your child You never get over it, and i cant even imagine with the suicide aspect on top what that is like for her. Like you say, you never get answers and thats hard to accept. I felt really really angry with Matthew for a long time. I dont feel like that any more, I just feel really sad, for him and for all of us he left behind.

Do you think after your scan, your mind might be put at rest a little? I hope so hun

 

[lovehearts]

Zowiey. Im sorry you are feeling so down. I hope all is well at your scan tomorrow. Dont be afraid to show your emotion, Im sure they see it all the time too, you have undergone a lot to get your baby, dont feel bad for showing that hun

good luck at your scan tomorrow sweetie! I'm sure everything will be well
I'm so sorry about your cousin, my uncle committed suicide a few years ago, it takes time but you learn to accept it and laugh about the good times you had

Have had the appointment for my NHS dating scan come through - 25th April......sounds like AGES away! Think OH and I are going to book in for a private early scan next week so at least that will break up the time a bit.

Still not feeling 100% I think my bad cold/flu has now turned into a sinus infection which is causing me a lot of pain. Really fed up with being ill now!
