AUGUST 2013 babies...

[KelseyK]

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing great! I have really started to feel miserable this past week! Today is dhs birthday, it's taking everything I have to get ready for dinner tonight at his brothers. No one knows I'm pregnant so this should be interesting! I feel like the worst wife, I've pretty much just slept these past few days. Ugh I can't wait to get out of the first trimester! It's so worth it in the end though

I sleep sleep and more sleep.I notice since I am pregnant have the weirdest dreams and lots of it.
Scan in 2 days.
Touching down my belly like 3 fingers above the hair line I feel something rounding there and hard.I can't see it yet,because my bloat is so big above,but I can feel it...hope that is the start for a bump.

I just ordered hot and sour soup from my Chinese.... Yummy

I have the same, really weird dreams and a lot of them throughout the night. I seem to wake every few hours too. Thinking maybe its natures way preparing me for the night feeds to come, well so I tell myself anyway

Hello all, booking appointment done! It was really just form filling and blood / urine tests and more information booklets to take away etc. but the great news is I have my scan date, 31st Jan!! Can not wait

The midwife was really nice and put my mind a little more at ease about my lack of symptoms, she said I should just thank my lucky stars that I am not sick as a dog

Anyway, I am now back on and hoping the next couple of weeks fly by so I can finally see my little bean.

How's everyone else doing?

I am pretty much the same, i really don't have many symptoms to be honest, which got me worried. But I just keep telling myself I am one of the lucky ones. (As I had a scan last week and all was 100%) But you just never know, from now till 12 weeks (first week of Feb) is really a long time to wait for another scan. So till then I shall just sleep and sleep as that seems to be the one symptom i do have and I do well

You already gave him the best birthday present he could ask for. Take it as easy as you like!

 

[SMGP]

No she didn't check my hcg levels, said that they don't tend to during routine antinatal care because its such a variable. She didn't use a Doppler either just filled in all my paperwork and took blood / urine samples. I have to wait another couple of weeks before I can know for sure everything is ok and as it should be (can't come quick enough!!)

I have my appt with my ob next week so hopefully she will tell me something then if the nurse can't on Wednesday!

[SMGP]

Anyone in this thread NOT suffering from ms? I have had two very small bouts of it that lasted no more than an hour! I know I am probably just one of the lucky ones, but it is still weird.

I havent thrown up in days! (and I hope I didnt just jinx myself for saying that) I feel a lot better than I did last week. I have been extremely tired lately, but I am sure it is because we are in the middle of moving and all that comes with it on top of working full time. I am SO JEALOUS of all of you ladies who get to sleep when you want! Enjoy it please!!!!!! I have to get up every day for work at 4:45! Dont have my next appt till Jan 25. I will be 10 weeks and 5 days. you dont think they will do the nuchal scan that time do you? Maybe I will get two! One that day and another two weeks later!

 

[BbWishin]

I have not had any ms only a little nausea when I haven't eaten in awhile. Other than being tired and some mood swings when my blood sugar drops, I have not had much for symptoms. I was worried about it at first but I had my first scan last week and talked to my re about it. She told me that more women than we realize don't have a lot of the symptoms out there. Unfortunately I am currently sick so I am more tired than normal.

Haha, that is what my friend of 3 says! She keeps telling me she wishes she would have slept more when she was pregnant with her first cause she couldn't at all with 2nd and 3rd.
I am not sure about your scan, it seems like even around the US it is different for everyone! I have seen women gat them at 6 weeks and another woman was saying she did not get her first until 20 weeks! I am 9 weeks tomorrow and have my first appointment tomorrow then another one with ob next Tuesday. I am hoping they will at least do a vaginal us at one of them!

I've not had any MS. Just the odd wave of nausea when i haven't eaten which disappears within 20 minutes after I have eaten. So i think I am one of the lucky ones. They say that it can be hereditary , so if your mum didn't have MS then it could explain why you may not have MS.

I just feel tired and the odd itchyness on my tum and boobies ( guess its the growing of both), which i then just moisturize.

Either than that, if this is how bad pregnancy gets then I can understand some woman having 16 kids lol

Ask doc for Ranitidine and take 2 tums before every meal and 2 more at bed time, I buy the wintergreen tums there not bad and keep heart burn away.
Don't drink orange juice like i do lol it only makes i worse, its he acid in it. Hope your appointment goes well.

oh and SMGP I thought he would have to do a vaginal ultrasound but he did a abdominal one and we heard the heart beat and everything... so maybe they can make a little easier on you, hope you get your scan soon, my next scan isnt till 20wks, but My next appointment is 2-12-13
