Had a craving for a pulled pork,sandwich with red onion. It was sooo...... Good, but now I'm so nauseous. such a bummer.

 

[AerisandAlex]

I am all day sick....so tired....eating only toast....have a pretty noticeable bump (baby #3), but yet I still feel like this is not happening. I can't get excited and can't get past my previous loss. I have a scan on Tuesday, and I am so nervous. I have had 2 healthy pregnancies, but that one loss has left me totally scared and shaken.

Sorry to be such a downer, but is anyone else struggling?? I find my anxiety is awful right now.

I'm was in the exact same boat... even with our two little ones, the loss we had last year had me extra nervous about our scan... when I went to the hospital with that pain and they said they were going to do a dating scan. I was excited, but when when I finally got in that room, I was ready to burst into tears. I didn't think I could handle any bad news, but the tech turned the screen to me and smiled and said everything was just fine She said she was surprised that I even worried because of how sick I was feeling.

If you're miserable, then the pregnancy is going well ^_^ I have high hopes your scan is going to turn out just perfect ^_^
If you're having no symptoms, your pregnancy could be going well too so it's hard to tell sometimes, but if you have symptoms, I'd definately say things are going well ^_^
With my daughter, I didn't have the sickness, but was I so tired all the time and hungry... I even had a little bit of bleeding myself but she's a healthy 7 year old now lol
With my son I had no symptoms, at least no obvious ones like morning sickness or tired all the time, (I was forced to work over 60 hours during my first trimester since I worked for AT&T and we got our positive when the iPhone 3GS was released so we had mandatory overtime.., I simply had no time to sleep no matter how much I wanted it lol )

With the morning sickness, I'd ask your doctor for some Zolfrin... when I was at the hospital, they asked if I was getting sick a lot, I told them 'Well, yes, but I'm pregnant, I kind of expect it" lol I didn't think they could do anything for it, but they gave me an IV and gave me anti-nausea medication, Zolfrin. I felt amazing, best I'd felt in weeks, they gave me a prescription for it upon the discharge and said it is the safest most common medication given to pregnant women with really bad morning sickness. It's one tablet that melts on your tongue, kind of tastes like cherry, and the nausea is just gone!

I even asked the pharmacist how 'safe' it was for pregnancy because the last thing I want to do is hurt the little one, and he said there is no risk at all, none. I know this prescription is going to run out in a week, hopefully the nausea will stop by then, but if it doesn't I'm going to ask my OB to continue it.


Also, Congrats to all the new s!! H&H 9 Months!! ^_^

Tomorrow is my first midwife appt so quite excited even though not a lot will happen there. But it will start to feel more real!!

Hope you all have a good day. No nausea so far-just had a cinnamon bagel. I'm going to try the sea sickness bands today if I feel it coming on....!

Hi all I was hoping to join you.
I'm due with number 5 on the 28th.
So far no symptoms other than being tired but that old be from my insomnia more than pregnancy.

I hope that everyone is feeling better. I have my scan on the 9th of January. I'm a bit nervous as I had 2 miscarriages in 2010 so untill I see the bubs on the scan I'll stay nervous.

 

[KirinM]

Congratulations Aussiettc and welcome.

Allstar - how are you doing today?

 

[AllStar]

Congratulations Aussiettc and welcome.

Allstar - how are you doing today?

I'm ok thank you. Bleeding has eased a little and it's turned brown rather than red. I'm trying my best to take it easy so I don't make it worse again. Luckily dh has a half day today so will be home soon. Doctor said he'd phone in the morning with what appointment he manages to get me for scan. Hope he phones early

 

[AllStar]

I spoke too soon, bleeding red again

 

[28329]

Oh allstar, I'm sorry your body is putting you through this. I hope your upcoming appointment brings good news.

 

[xEmmaDx]

EmmaD, I'm a week ahead of you and also have very few to no symptoms. I worry also but I guess we're just a couple of those lucky ladies.....? It just seems like after waiting so long (for me) it's a little let down to not feel anything but whatever, I'm pregnant, that's what matters!

That's exactly how I feel, I just need some reassurance. Can't wait for my scan

 

[JJsmom]

Congrats to the new ladies with BFP's!!

Allstar, hopefully everything will be ok with your bubs! I will say that the last time I was on the forums last year when I was pg, a lady kept bleeding and was terrified. She went in to have a scan and she just happened to have a pocket of blood that was close to her baby but that's where the bleeding was coming from. She went on to have her baby, so hopefully it's nothing serious! Hope the doc can give you some reassurance!!

I'm not sleeping the best. Insomnia, and either my 6 month old is teething or has a cold. He woke up every hour or two on the hour. I laid down right around 1am and he was up, and it just went from there. I'm also trying to figure out breastfeeding while pregnant. My breasts are so tender and they hurt so bad now, just like they did when DS2 was first born and started feeding. Not too nauseous yet, but I'm only 5 weeks and I didn't get too nauseous with DS1 or DS2. Only had food aversions with DS2. So I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with this pregnancy!

First appt is Thursday to confirm pregnancy.

 

[july2013]

Just been to the toilet and there was a little bit of blood when I wiped. I've had some spotting on and off these past few days. My scan on Friday can't come soon enough!

 

[clynn11]

sorry you're spotting July2013 I'm sure all is okay! Can't wait for your scan!

 

[MummyJade]

Hope all you ladies are well...

I was hugging the toilet at my mums this morning! So glad she knows now! Had positive reactions from all family members... My daughter is very excited! She is looking forward to being involved all the way through! My mum is just as excited...

Cant believe Xmas is over for another year! Decs are down tomorrow... and all toys will be sorted away...

We are pregnant with our first child, found about 3 weeks ago. Go to the Dr for our first ultrasound 12/30 they have an EDD for us around 8/10/2014

 

[Soulshaken]

Welcome to the new ladies!

So sorry for those that are spotting, It is so incredibly nerve wracking to have worry like that 24/7!!!

Not going to stay on long I'm so unbelievably sick... I've never experienced anything like this with any pregnancy before... Hope you ladies have a blessed day I'll catch up later

 

[HWPG]

Hi gals!
So sorry for all the sick ladies; hope it eases but at least you know your baby is healthy and strong.
Afm, nine weeks and I think I have a true 'bump'. The bit that normally pokes out below my belly button can no longer be sucked in, and by the end of the day it's definitely 'popped'. I feel so silly, but I'm feeling pretty good, not sick, and not fat or bloated, just..... Popped.
Anyways, off to have tea and dessert.

 

[Bellybump89]

Can I join you ladies? I'm due August 15 or August 30th.. My scan is jan 13 and I find out for sure then

 

[MrsBB1323]

[28329]

Welcome and congratulations to the new bfp's

so tired this morning, my son caught my daughters cold and now I'm getting it. No fun.

 

[Arlandria]

Hello Hello Hello!!!!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas! I'll be honest our's has gone far too fast! I'm back in work today

Apart from literally dying of the flu and not being able to take anything for it, we had a nice festive few days. My Daughter was delighted to see all of her presents and as per usual was far too spoilt!

Sorry to hear those ladies who are spotting, I know how worrying it can be! This pregnancy is having the total opposite effect on me than last time - I have absolutely zero symptoms!!! And as people might say thats great, I'm now worrying what if!!!

I have another midwife appointment on the 9th Jan, not had my scan date yet though!! I'll be 10+4 weeks by then so cannot be far behind...seems I'm going to be scanned really late!

We told all of our family on Christmas day - it was great! They are all so happy! We got DD to hold up a painting that said "I'm going to be a big sister!" so Olivia now knows! It's such a relief not having to keep it a secret!

So for now my fellow Sunflower-Momma's take care and i'll try and catch up with you all soon XXXXXX
