So you know you're pregnant when you're DD is selling Girl Scout cookies and you come to work and find out someone else's daughter is too and you JUST KNOW that now you won't sell any and you start to tear up...

Luckily I didn't full on cry! But I wanted to!!

 

[borr.dg.baby]

I agree with charlie, it's probably fine hun, you need to relax (I know it's easier said then done and I can't imagine what it's like to you with your losses).

 

[borr.dg.baby]

I feel sensitive too Crystal, I got some upsetting news regarding my brother yesterday and was crying like crazy...

 

[readynwilling]

someone on my FB page posted a link to a blog with a great letter from a mom to her daughter after her daughter asked if santa was real or not. FRACK i was crying LOL. OVER SANTA

Put tree up this morning before work, my dd insisted on decorating it in the nude! Guess you can get away with that when you're three

So I am wondering if I should try and change my early scan and get it when I am 8 and half weeks pregnant instead of 7 and half weeks.
Both my m/c were after 8 and half weeks so don't want to be "reassured" too early.
What you ladies think?

Ok - i was in another thread and someone there had a scan about 6w2d and they saw yolk sac and heart beat. So i would say at 7.5 weeks you will be FINE to have this US

 

[charlie00134]

I'm having mine 6w4d and I'm really hoping I see something. I know I might not but I'm hoping hard.

This thread is so difficult to keep up with. The chatter is fast and furious.

I was wondering if I could have some feedback on my results. At 13dpo hcg was 70 and progesterone 176. At 19dpo hcg was 425 and progesterone 76.6. I have calculated this as a doubling time of 2.3 days. I was hoping for better than this. What do people think?

I have been concerned about my drop in progesterone levels from 176 nmol/l (56ng/l) down to 76.6 nmol/l (24ng/l). I decided to call my ob for a second opinion on my results. He said that my results are good, hcg rising nicely. He also said that my progesterone is still high, however because they have dropped he recommended I go onto progesterone pessaries which I am now taking.

I am quite anxious about this pregnancy and even though I have been told that results are good, I still can't help but worry about why there is such a big drop in the progesterone. I am also worried that the progesterone pessaries will now mask an impending miscarriage. Has anyone one got any personal experience which might shed some light on my situation?

My nausea was actually worse just after my bfp than it is now but I still have a wave of it wash over me when I roll over first thing. I put sea bands on before bed and take them off once it has subsided, usually after eating.

Im quite used to it as I had HG with my daughter from 6-32 weeks (Im sure you've all heard of it after the Royal announcement) but before six weeks I had nothing, where as this time it started before my positive test. I've only actually vomited twice so far but am very aware once I hit six weeks it could all go rapidly wrong again.

 

[charlie00134]

my anxiety is getting worse. I already get panicky in bad crowds but I'm only in a small crowd with lots or space and I feel like I'm gunna freak out.

 

[Ellberry]

Charlie do you take anything for your anxiety? I suffered pancik attacks for years, really awful ones that would lead to me throwing up and not eating for 3 days...I still dont drink alcohol and am very picky about food (they lead to me having a phobia of being sick!) Anyway, I refused to take any medication for them as I wont even take paracetamol for a headache, i have been to see 2 counsellors and 2 or 3 hypnotherapists and I was still suffering! I later figured that they were hormone related as were happping before af every month.....anyway, before we got married I got really bad and knew there was no way I would walk down the ailse in the state I was in (we were also moving house the week before-bit stressed!!) I went to the doc and he prescribed me propanadol (beta blockers) he said 1 tablet x 2 daily, and they may well stop the attacks permenantly...well 1 tablet left me in a daze so I cut it down to half tablet x1 a day for 3 days then stopped taking them. I kept them though and will take 1/4 tablet if I feel one coming on or know I'm going into a situation likely to bring one on!!
It has helped me so so much!! I'm unsure whether you can take them whilst preg though, which is something I will ask midwife next week as I do keep getting very anxious esp when I feel a bit ill-not sure how I will cope if ms really kicks in!!
Sorry this has gone on a bit I just wanted you to know you're not alone and to say that if you've not tried any meds then it really is worth considering!!! Hope you're ok xx

 

[JenzyKY]

Barhanita my nausea waking up is mostly gone too. I'm sure it's ok!

Charlie, anxiety is just awful. Hope you feel better soon. Maybe it'll go down after your scan. It's getting close!

 

[JenzyKY]

So you know you're pregnant when you're DD is selling Girl Scout cookies and you come to work and find out someone else's daughter is too and you JUST KNOW that now you won't sell any and you start to tear up...

Luckily I didn't full on cry! But I wanted to!!

That sucks! It's hard enough to sell things. I keep crying at silly tv shows. This is much better then that!

 

[twinkletots]

Take it easy Charlie. Early pregnancy is such an exciting time for us all but also an anxious time. All we can do is try and stay positive and look after ourselves.
Take care

back from the MW. Got a requistion for a dating scan (really didn't think i would get one!!) but she asked me to wait for 2 weeks so that there is more to see. Also i got a req's for a TON of blood work - the fun stuff

 

[charlie00134]

I don't have extreme anxiety I just get panicky easy mainly in crowds, I hate being penned in and in live actor horror situations. It just got worse when I got in a crowd in the pizza shop. I can about manage it, I learned to when I got control over my depression. Thanks for your advice though, I will mention it to my midwife.

 

[CordeliaJ]

Anyone encountered any problems with people not appreciating that being pregnant actually is more than growing a bump? I told my boss today I was pregnant (had to because I had get a last minute blood test which made me late). Anyway, he spent the entire day asking me to do all sorts of jobs involving manual labour like carting heaving shelving units up & down some very big flights of stairs. I didn't dare complain because I felt bad for being late, but how is it he doesn't realise that pregnancy us a fragile state not to mention I feel exhausted 100% of the time already?! I cried so much about it in the loos.

 

[charlie00134]

I just dont think they think about it until youre showing.

 

[CordeliaJ]

Yeah I guess, but that seems to be "aw she's carrying extra weight, that must be tiring", not "all her organs are shifting, hormones everywhere, she must feel like a human incubator".
