Congrats to all the new BFPs! Welcome

Can anyone please reassure me that what in feeling is normal? With DS1 I had a bit of hunger-nausea and was very sleepy. With this one I'm not exactly sleepy tired but I have no energy and physically moving from bed or the sofa seems to take Herculean effort. I have a bad cold which I'm sure is a contributor but I just wondered if I'm alone?

A stuffy nose and/or cold can be a pregnancy symptom too, hun. I had a sniffly thing a week or so ago. Everything's a massive effort here too. I wish I could just stay in bed all day and nibble.

 

[KirinM]

I'm also lacking in energy. I just want to sit and / or lie down and eat occasionally to get rid of the nausea.

Soap taste is back tonight. Urgh!

Katestar53 - Does that make you a November 2012 mom as well? My little girl is November 29th and this new one is due August 22nd so our experiences should be very similar!

MrsArcher - Be GLAD you don't have spotting or cramping. They're not symptoms that you want at this point as any bleeding can be considered a threatened mc. I had a little spotting at 13 DPO and my dr had me do a beta to make sure everything is ok. 14 dpo beta was 210 and 16 dpo beta was 629, so everything is fine as of right now. Really the only symptoms I had in my first pregnancy didn't start till 6w5d when the nausea hit me like a ton of bricks.

Silver, I am so sorry it was not better news today. I know the feeling all to well. Take care, and please let us know how your re-scan goes.

 

[LilyInk]

Thinking of you silverbell and hope you see a healthy little beating heart on Saturday.

Feeling soooooo tired here. Lots I want to do but no energy to get up and actually do it. Frustrating. Always hungry here too and I am sure my boobs grow double in size each day. That's what it feels like anyway! At least I know all these symptoms are worth it and I should enjoy the time.

Best wishes and welcome to all the new bfps.

I'm not sick anymore. Last week before I found out, I was nauseous, thats what made me test but nothing really this week which is weird. With my son, I was in hospital all the time so sick. Wondering where it went all of a sudden. But, I am tired, like I don't recall ever being this tired. I was in bed at 9pm last night!

 

[Ashley8806]

I had to tell work today because of some work hazards I need to avoid... some were excited and I had one just kunda be like "oh really? Gonna get em all done while youre young huh... you're going to be a busy mom". That's it. No congrats no smile... kinda hurt

Welcome to all the new BFPs!! I have heard that August is the month with the most birthdays (and the 15th is the DAY with the most birthdays!) So it isn't surprising to see soooo many here. Yay for august babies!!!!

Silverbell, I hope you get to see a heartbeat on Saturday. Xxx



I have yet to throw up at all too, but do feel nauseous a fair bit, especially when my stomach is emptier. But my appetite is NIL! I just don't feel like eating ANYTHING. I go stand at the cupboards for a while, then go look through the fridge, then go back to the cupboards.... Nothing sounds good. I end up forcing something down cos I know I need to eat, but meh. Just not caring about food really.

And oh my, the intense lack of motivation to do anything! I am tired, sure, but not toooo bad really. It is more that I just sit there, and reeeeaaallly struggle to get up and DO anything! I use the excuse I am tired or nauseous, but really it is as much the lack of motivation as anything too!!

And I am getting puffed/out of breath SO easily! Like, walking up the driveway from collecting the mail. It isn't a long driveway!! Hanging out the washing yesterday, with the bending and reaching, I was literally puffing from the effort. I am not hugely fit, but I can normally still run about and play with Monster and do the housework and everything, but sheesh, the simplistic things now are just that much harder.


But all in all, I do love the fact I am pregnant. I am not much of a worrier, so it is alllllll good. Lol. I am looking forward to getting moved and being able to find a midwife and stuff though, as that will make it even more real! I am really glad I told everyone early, so I have full support with taking it easy even while moving town! :-D


Is anyone else still breastfeeding? I am reading the "Adventures in zTandem Nursing" right now, and it has answered a ton of questions I never knew I had! I do hope Monster will wean sometime in the next 8 months, but I am open to tandem nursing if it comes to that too! The book has been good, even though I hope he weans! Lol. There is heaps in there about being pregnant while breastfeeding, and it all just makes me be in total awe of the human body. We are doing an incredible thing right now; creating a whole new human!!!! From a mere cell!

I know what u mean about food. I go from being nauseous and hungry to not wanting anything, to being starving, but nothing sounding good! Crazy!!

I was having some spotting, bot it seems to have stopped. I have my first scan in the morning !!! Nervous and excited!! Boobs keep getting more sore, and they get that itchy sensation when I take my bra off at night.
Glad I'm not the only one getting out of breath! I know it's "normal" but I've never experienced it before during pg, but as someone so kindly reminded me today, " you aren't young". Nice.

Silver bell, I'm praying all goes well at u next scan.

I woke up the other day with a terrible head cold and still dealing with it... what's worse is I can't take anything for it -_- But I've been extra lazy too and falling asleep throughout the day... I usually have to really fight the nap I so desperately want though while I'm waiting for DH to come back from work so he can watch DS and DD... I can't wait for the 2nd trimester! lol


Ashley - Some people can't be happy for others because of their own situations... I wouldn't take so much offense as she might have something going on with her life that's throwing off her good mood... that's what I always say to myself when I get a negative or no reaction to something I think should have a positive one. I'm sure she is excited for you in her own way, she just might not be able to put it into the right words right now... I had an fellow worker who reacted to me being preggo with my son like that, but later down the road when I was getting much bigger their attitude did a 180 and they were excited when we found out he was a boy

 

[katestar53]

Linz143 - Yep. My little chap was born on the 16th Nov How exciting that our journeys will be similar!

[ellitigg]

Thanks everyone! I will feel reassured when all I want to do is watch cheesy Christmas films today

Hi ladies. Thanks for rooting for me, but sadly we had bad news at the scan today. I'm 6w4d (I'd worked the IVF dates out wrong and wasn't 7 weeks today as I'd thought) and there was no heartbeat and she thought it was measuring at 6w1d. We are being re-scanned on Saturday, but she told us that it really wasn't looking good and if no heartbeat on Saturday at 7 weeks then I have to think how I want to pass our little one.

Doc did say it was nothing I would have done/didn't do.

I wish I didn't still have all the symptoms I've had since 4.5/5 weeks (constant nausea and peeing loads). It seems harsh if it's all over. No spotting at all since yesterday lunch-time.

I'll update again on Saturday, but it's not looking good for us. Thanks for thinking of us, ladies.

So sorry to here that Silverbell sending lots of

Morning everyone,

Made the sensible decision to eat some marmite on toast in bed this morning which has reduced the nausea. Does everyone else suffering with nausea wake up to it? It hits me as soon as I wake up.

 

[MummyJade]

I have no energy roll on trimester 2! School run is doing me in!
I feel sick like im going to throw up at any moment! I can't wait for scan tomorrow!

happy 6 weeks to the 14th ladies! Xx

Being that I have done this way too many times, Lol, one thing I can tell you is that rarely are pregnancies exactly the same. Case in point:
Baby #1 weeks 6-12, nausea everyday from 5-7pm... Like clock work
Baby #2 constant fatigue until week 20 but no MS
Baby #3 full of energy the whole time and no MS
Baby #4 no MS yet, dull cramping off and on, lack of appetite, horrible constipation, and wicked insomnia... Didn't have any of these symptoms with the first three. My Mom is a mother of 6, and she said that all of hers were different too.

Cold symptoms are very common during pregnancy so I wouldn't worry about it. It takes alot to grow a baby. When I feel like crap, I try to think about what this baby will look like come August when I finally get to meet him or her. get some rest if you can because when there is more than one, get ready for an adventure!

 

[Jbaby90]

I recieved my Doppler in the mail today! Being only 6 weeks I know I won't be able to hear anything yet
Has anyone else got a Doppler or are you getting one??

 

[LittleMinx]

I have my 1st midwife appointment in less than an hour .. I feel mega sick today and my DD is poorly, I really cant wait for the holidays to start so i can have a bit of chill time.

Will update when i get back
