Ok- I have just over an hour until my first us. I'm watching Say Yes To The Dress in hopes of trying to keep my mind off how much I need to wee. Wow. Anyways- hopefully all goes well and I'll have some pics to update with soon.

Best of luck with your u/s MissFox, can't wait to hear all about it!!!

Welcome to the new ladies, and welcome back to those that have been gone for a while. So nice to catch up with everyone.

Congrats to those with recent scans, the pics are adorable!!!!

I had an u/s today at 8+5, the last with my fertility specialist as I have officially graduated from his services!!! Little one has grown from 0.85 cm to 2.04 cm and is looking more and more like a baby. I could even make out one of the legs. Heartbeat sounded strong and dr said it was faster than he could count (still not sure why he doesn't measure it, but oh well I'm not going to let it worry me this time). I am always amazed to see that baby is still holding on in there.

More details on the scan in my journal if you're interested.

Best of luck to the ladies with upcoming scans!!!

My dr continues to tell me at every visit that around 8-9 weeks I am reaching the point where symptoms WILL BEGIN TO FADE and not to worry because that is totally normal. I know many of us are fast approaching this time and I hope it provides some reassurance. I know of course we worry when anything changes, but I'm going to take my dr's advice and try not to let it worry me too much.

Symptoms fade at 8-9 weeks? Which ones?! Lol in my last pregnancy they all stayed for the full 8 months! And I gained a whole load of new ones too.

 

[bernina]

Haha, he said the breast tenderness would diminish and many women find their nausea going away. He knows I'm paranoid due to previous losses so is probably just trying to reassure me that it can be perfectly normal. I have heard about loosing the breast tenderness from books and other posters. I think nausea and morning sickness are so vastly different from person to person and pregnancy to pregnancy, that there probably is no real rhyme or reason to them.

I'm 9+3... My symptoms seem to come and go. Not really suffered too much with ms. Have just had a bit of nausea and food aversions.
I've gained EXTREME tiredness this week and also headaches. I thought I was tired before bbut this week has been insane.

I'm in the worst mood ever today. Everything and everyone is annoying me.
Especially when I was cycling on the road quite close to the pavement and a teenage boy stepped in front of me to throw a rock at the car passing me! I swerved to miss the boy, the car swerved to miss me and the boy screamed at me "OI!! YOU COULDVE KILLED ME!!!!"
Aarrrghhhh. Thug. My children will never ever be like that. Ever.

I think I might have to give up cycling. But I'm so bloated already, if I give that up I'll get 100 times worse.

 

[bernina]

CottlestonPie, sorry you've had a rough morning, how scary! Every day I see kids and think to myself that my little ones will never act like that. So many bad eggs out there!

I've been totally exhausted around 11 each night, and usually after lunch at work I feel like nodding off. Headaches started this week too but luckily haven't been too terrible. A fizzy Coke seems to help ease both my head and my stomach. Too bad I can't indulge in them more often (it's the caffeine and sugar combo that helps me).

 

[MissFox]

So sorry to hear about your bad day Cottleston! I can't believe that kid!!! I just got back from my us! Peanut is measuring one day behind but was told that's great! Heartbeat was 176! I'll have pictures up as soon as I can but only have pictures from my phone- can't read the info on it too much (I know BnB has issues with that?) and my scanner isn't hooked up.

 

[smeej]

hey ladies,

I have my scan date through - the 30th September - which will make me 12 weeks exactly!

EVERYTHING crossed that the little bean sticks and we make it that far!

[bernina]

Congrats MissFox, very happy to hear all went well. Can't wait to see the picture!!

 

[CrazyBird]

Bernina thanks for the reasuurance about the symptoms dissapearing between 7-8 weeks, i was wondering why my nausea has kind of gone away. Was getting worried but i suppose i shouldn't be too worried. It's out of my hands anyway.
I have my midwife appointment tomorrow, looking forward to that, might make it feel more real.

Congrats to dana and miss fox on the scans, it's so amazing to see the heartbeat.

 

[Tasha360]

Cottleston i understand what you mean about the tiredness. I can hardly keep my eyes open. Its not helping that my youngest still wakes for feedings in the night welcome to the new ladies, ill update soon. xx

 

[camishantel]

Bernia_ Thanks the last 2 days my boobs have not been as sore and I was worrying because of my previous losses as well so that is reassuring.. I have the ms still but coming and going... maybe this can put my mind to ease a little till friday when I go back in for my next U/S.. had a little cramping and back ache yesterday and today but eases when I poo... so probably just because I am not as regular anymore fx'd

So sorry to hear about your bad day Cottleston! I can't believe that kid!!! I just got back from my us! Peanut is measuring one day behind but was told that's great! Heartbeat was 176!

I don't have a scanner so I always have to send from my phone and some of the stuff just doesn't show but that is all I can do.... and my dr. hasn't put my name on mine yet...

 

[MissFox]

Godo to know Cami.
I was hoping that my symptoms would be waring off but I haven't had pooing problems yet and I'm just nauseous. And tired. Hopefully that starts to subside soon-

 

[camishantel]

yeah this week I am more tired but boobs not as sore... they kinda come and go now.... not gagging as much but still nauseous

 

[MissFox]

I am EXHAUSTED this week! It's like week 4 all over agian! Can barrely keep my eyes open! Now to top it off I've started the search for a bigger/better house. We'll see what happens.
Just hope this nausea leaves.

 

[camishantel]

just hope my scan goes well on Friday... yay for your scan by btw... can't wait to see pics... so since they put me 2 days behond and you 1 day behind guess we are now due on the same day??? LOL.... do you have any twinges in your lower back... have been having a couple the last couple of days but not really painful... just weird and remind me of my mc's just not anywhere near as painful so that is why I have been a little worried this week.... one week I will finally not worry

 

[MissFox]

Aww cami- I know it's hard not to stress. I'm sure tomorrow is going to go great! And yea- sounds like we're both due the 8th? They told me to keep it the same though. Said everything looked good. I'm just trying to keep happy about everything since my hormones have been crazy.
I get my results on Friday! I hope your scan is amazing! I'm going to post pics either tonight or Friday (tomorrow is my lil' bro's b-day party)

 

[bernina]

Cami, I'm only a few days behind you and I had some major growing pains over the weekend. My external stomach muscles are super sore to the touch (some days more tender than others) and have had a backache and some weird stretching feelings around my uterus. Had me worried as well until I saw little one. But it sounds like it's totally normal as many of those approaching 9 weeks are experiencing the same. Best of luck for your scan Friday!!

I'm feeling rough right now, took a nap and as always woke up feeling terrible. Stomach feels like at any moment I could puke, achey, and a headache. When will I learn not to nap...

 

[MissFox]

Bernina- I've been drinking something before I even sit up (straws are my friend). Usually chocolate milk since juice makes me sick.
