Oh no! The sickness is back with a vengeance

 

[Dazed125]

Just popping in to say good luck with your scan today Miss_K, we can exchange notes later x

I keep telling myself that MS is a really good thing. It does feel rough though!

 

[zowiey]

Good luck miss K & dazed today! Can't wait to see your piccies later

As for the trimester "thing" I think the official start of the 2nd trimester is 13.333333(!) so I guess they round it off to 14weeks. I have 2 pg books and both say the 2nd trimester starts at 14weeks to. Which is a little annoying, as we all aim for 12 weeks to feel safe, and move out of first tri, but we'll be hanging in limbo for 2 weeks

 

[teacup22]

It's terrible! Especially on very little sleep and with a toddler to chase around it sucks!!!
I feel grateful for having it as I had none with my miscarriages but I just want it to end now

Good luck to those with scans today

Good Luck to those with scans today! Cant wait to see pics.

Teacup...Im 9+1 and was sick again yest morning and this morning, but I cant believe how 'ok' I feel compared to my other pregnancies.

In my other pregnancies i could never understand how people were still managing to do every day things like shopiing, going out etc. Its only now i realise the level of sickness i have is probably 'average' - I think ive just had it really severe with my others!

How is everyone else?

My DH is back at work today after 5 days off. Im gutted, Im going to have to clean my house today Hes been doing it for me while hes been off! x

 

[3boys]

good luck today with scans ladies. my hubby thinks im crazy cos i panic every time i feel ok. As much as feeling sick is rotten its so reasurring x

 

[lovehearts]

I was very lucky with my son and i didnt suffer at all during my pregnancy with him. TBH it was a breeze apart from the constant worry. Its defo harder this time around and I havnt been sick but i am feeling sick all day long. I get relief for maybe 20 mins after iv eaten something then its back. Im glad because its reassuring but im still scared shitless.

Hows your little man lora? Has his sickness bug passed?

xx

Morning ladies

Was terrified during the scan, but my little blueberry was in the perfect place with the most amazing little heartbeat I've ever seen. Me and mum both cried, lol. My dates match perfectly too, so am 7+4 today.

This has been the happiest day I have ever had and thanks for all you well-wishes beforehand. I am at my mum's at the mo but will try and get a pic up later if I can. They were a little fuzzy but I didn't care, I was just glad to see everything looking so perfect.

Dazed....best of luck for today hun, I'll be thinking of you all day and can't wait for pics xx

Peanut sounds like a nightmare with your insurance hun, sure you'll get it all sorted though

Hope everyone else is ok....sounds like we all have dicky tummy's and MS at the mo.

Peanut- this is a delayed response but as far as the trimesters- in the US 12 weeks is considered the "safe zone" by the end of your 12th week you start your second trimester. It's wasn't until I came on this website (after all 3 prior pregnancies I've had) that I've ever heard 14 weeks. I have always considered te 12th week term of 1st tri and the first day of 13th week starts 2nd tri

Also- they don't to the typical papsmear at your first official ob appointment. They don't do the little scrapy thing with the metal duck clamp thingy lol they do a very invasive hand internal (sorry if tmi) just to make sure that the uterus is the size it should be. They just feel that and the top of the belly at the same time. They are super cautious not to disturb the pregnancy. It's nowhere near the regular pap. You might be able to ask them not to do it but it's good for them to know the size of the uterus and they can't check that unless they have a hand pressing it up from the inside - until your a little further along and they start checking the fundus and Thats when the uterus is above the pelvis enough to just feel it from the outside of the belly and measure with the tape. They do all the std and general testing that is done in a normal pap thru your blood work while preggers. I had all that done the exact way at my last appointment as they have thru all my kids over the last 11 years so that should be what you have too anyway I hope that reliever your stress a little

Did you get your insurance papers yet? I didn't have mine lined up at the first appt but I was just waiting on them and they still saw me based on that because it should show you as pending when they bill them and then they can try until it clears. It will jut have to clear before they will see u again after that.
Any chance the crazy brother in law tampered with the mail? Just a thought cuz he sounds like a complete ass!

Thanks tower. Yes paperwork can yesterday and we had to run through hoops to get a lot of crap sorted out. I have to find a way to fax it today to the lady so it can be decided if I am eligible quicker. See the whole trimester thing is still confusing because the what to expect when your expecting says end of 13th week is 1st tri. as does the American Pregnancy Association website. at baby2see.com it breaks the trimesters down in three ways, development, gestation and conception. Development wise it is 12 weeks, from LMP, Gestation concludes the 2 weeks of preconception so 13 weeks 3 days and Conception refers to the actual 38 weeks of pregnancy broken down into three month sections or 14 weeks and 5 days.
The sonographer that did our first scan said end of 13th week. I know the big milestone is 12 week mark and growing up I was taught that after the 12th week second trimester starts. So, I don't know I guess I will go by what the doctor says tomorrow.
Yeah, it does relieve some stress and anxiety to know that they won't be scraping and using the cold hard metal tomorrow. Really as I joke here I am much happer that you told me this because I have been feeling sick to my stomach thinking about it already today.

So how are you feeling twin of mine? I have the worst sore throat today I can hardly swallow. I have to start fasting after 7 pm tonight. and no more liquids after midnight until after I have blood drawn at 7 am. Then, a quick and I mean quick bite to eat, water have a full bladder and be at the OB office at 8:30 Luckily, I am going to be at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and everything is all connected. I hope both LO are squirming around and have strong heartbeats....


As for everyone else I hope you are all well and ladies that had scans done today I pray all went fantastic for you and can't wait to see pics if you have them.

 

[Dazed125]

Thank you for all the well wishes girls, I was soooo nervous!!! I saw the same lady who has done all my clomid scans so that was great. All looks good and I saw beans tiny heart beating. I cried ALOT!!!

So pleased to hear yours also went well Miss_K

I'm already counting down the days till the next time I get to see our squiggle!

Xxx

 

[peanutmomma]

love the picture dazed

 

[miss_kseniya]

Ooh Dazed, you've got your pic up already. Really pleased for you hun. I cried loads too (so did my mum) so it was quite emotional. Mum was with me through my whole ectopic last time so I think she was as relieved as I was to see a healthy bean and heartbeat. I've only got 4.5 weeks until my 12 week scan so doesn't feel too long to wait thankfully.

Is everyone else ok?

 

[LoraLoo]

Lovely pic Dazed, so glad everything went well

AFM- ARGH! I am so stressed. I have spent all day cleaning JUST downstairs, I sent the kids upstairs to play out of the way, and when i went up, Ollie and Amy have got BLACK paint, all over Amys CREAM carpet OMG, I went mad! After id scrubbed it (almost got it out but will need to scrub it again tmw) I was so stressed i went and bought a redbull I feel really bad, but it was either that or a litre of vodka the way I was feeling. Feeling really guilty about it now.

 

[peanutmomma]

wow! i just feel like BLAH today. My throat is starting to feel better with all the water I keep drinking, but I haven't felt like this in weeks. I just want to curl up in bed all day. But, the thought of trying to toss and turn to get comfortable makes me feel ill. I guess between nerves for tomorrow, the huge now bruise on my head, and a little under the weather is all combined kicking my butt
