Good luck fairycat!

Well nausea is here with a vengeance this eve. Been dry heaving over the toilet bowl. But can't throw up! Wish I could be sick as feel I need to but can't

Fairycat hope your ultrasound is great can't wait to hear about it.

Trying4first levels sound great! I hate that my symptoms are worse one day and nonexistent the next lol. Sunday I was horribly sick, but today and most of yesterday feeling great. Just take it one day at a time. When is your ultrasound??

Getting nervous for next Monday which is my next ultrasound.

Thanks Swimmy! 😊
I have been the same as you, sick then nothing for a couple of days. Tonight is the worst I have ever felt. Def ramping up now. Just so glad fits in the eve and not during work time.
My ultrasound is next Monday too! I am nervous too! Not had one yet so really hoping for a wriggly bean!

 

[fairycat]

Everything is perfect! Doc says he has no concerns. My next appt is in a month and he'll just do the doppler and bloodwork. Next ultrasound won't be until 20 weeks! Yikes!

Doc let us take a video of the heartbeat . I asked him about heart rate and he said he doesn't measure it until later, but assured me it was normal. Baby caught up the couple days and is measuring spot on at 8w5d.

Congratulations on the beautiful ultrasound fairycat!

 

[swimmyj1]

Fairycat - YAY!!! glad everything is looking great! Can't believe you have to wait until 20 weeks! After switching to my OB i'm wondering how long I will be waiting I have to remember to ask my fertility doc when they have us switch over but I think its 10-12 weeks.

 

[fairycat]

I know! It seems so far away. However, my doc said if I absolutely can't stand it and need to know if things are good, I can ask for another u/s. But if I hear the heartbeat at next appointment, I think I will be fine as that's all that really matters. Next time I see baby, it will be so big!!!

My nausea and sore breasts have been coming and going, and I have been having awful dreams about spotting or blood pouring out of me. I feel like I'm losing my mind We saw the heartbeat a week ago, but I'm already a nervous wreck again. I'm not sure I will ever relax with this pregnancy and it will probably be my last. I so wanted to enjoy this experience.

 

[Kuawen]

I'm so sorry you're having such awful dreams theiska. I understand being a nervous wreck so soon after having good news. It's why I've insisted dh record each of our ultrasounds so I can watch it again and again. It gives me some comfort in seeing the little heartbeat and wiggling again, though sometimes even that is little comfort when I've convinced myself that something has gone wrong. I must have run to the bathroom to check for blood a few hundred times already... I hope that you can find comfort and still be able to enjoy this pregnancy.

Oh, the vivid dreams! I have at least one dream a night and some of them are pretty strange. I had one dream that I was swimming a lake that they told me was no more than 75 feet deep and I was being chased by a giant ugly fish the size of a boat. I've been having a lot of dreams about my teeth falling out too. Really weird.

 

[theiska]

Thanks for the support ladies. I love this group! Don't know what I'd do without y'all.

Kuawen, I hope you can find peace too. Being sure something is wrong is so difficult, even when there is no real reason to feel that way. It hurts.

Lilmiss, I HATE the teeth falling out dreams!!! I used to have those all the time. I could feel my teeth crumbling in my mouth sometimes. So weird.

 

[swimmyj1]

Kuawen I was hoping it would get better with time but honestly I don't think I'll be at peace until my baby is here lol and then there is a whole new set of worries. We will get through it one day at a time.

I was having crazy vivid dreams mostly where I was a character in a movie. Sounds funny but I swear I had a dream that I was in a harry potter movie at least 4 times. I keep telling them I don't belong there and no one will listen to me haha. working the last 3 nights in a row I've been too tired to dream. Only 2 more to go then I have the weekend off yay!!

 

[Trying4first1]

Fairycat congrats on a fab scan! 😊 Amazing news!

Ladies I know what you mean about these vivid dreams. I keep having eh hem 'naughty' dreams and it feels so real. My friend had this too during her pregnancy. But sadly I keep having dreams that I also start to bleed.

To anyone who has had a scan around 8 weeks, was your scan internal or external?

 

[fairycat]

I keep having naughty dreams too. I've had 3 so far and all woke up to.. well.. you know. Weirdest thing ever!

Scan at 8 weeks should be internal. I always have spotting 2 days after mine

 

[Trying4first1]

Hahaha. I know what you mean and it Is very weird! Last night I was having an affair in my dream. Obviously something I wouldn't do! It's so strange! Felt so real!

Oh no that's what I was afraid of. I had internal last time and it wasn't very pleasant. I can see why you would spot after. I wouldnt know if I did last time as I was already spotting from my MC

 

[fairycat]

Yeah, last pregnancy I was spotting from my mmc too. I've had 2 internals with this pregnancy and spotted both times. I'm spotting today from it, but it's the same timeframe as the last scan, so I'm not too worried about it. It is a little unnerving though.

For what it's worth - my internals weren't pleasant last time either - they were in there for so long. This time it didn't bother me, because we actually had something to look at.. you barely even know it's in there. Well, until the doc looks at your ovaries and pries you wide open Hope it goes alright for you!

 

[Kuawen]

All my ultrasounds have been internal (even yesterday's at 10w3d) and while my RE was very very gentle my ob I was a little sore afterward. I'm amazed that I haven't had any spotting this pregnancy because I'm also on the progesterone supps so there's been a lot that could irritate my cervix but thankfully nothing. I would freak out so bad if I started spotting now. I do make sure to ask my doctors to try to be gentle and definitely let them know if they're pressing too hard.

 

[Trying4first1]

Thank you fairycat. Im sure it will be ok. Hopefully I am distracted by little bean! Was prob worse last time as I was upset about the outcome so I had a lot of negative energy if that makes sense?

Kuawen great you have had no spotting 😊 I havnt had anything so far. Last time I spotted from about 6.5 weeks. Doing ok so far. Furthest I have ever got

 

[swimmyj1]

My 6 week was internal and no spotting but I'm also on progesterone. Monday needs to hurry up and get here so I can get my next scan. I also really need to look for a new OB. I don't like the one I have and my fertility doc will be referring us back to my OB at 12 weeks. If I got with the hospital my insurance would want me to (cheaper) they have no NICU and that worries me a little. So i think i'm gonna pay more and get an OB through the larger hospital closer to my house.

Oh, I've had quite a few of those dreams too! I don't tell my DH that but for some reason I will have affairs with men whom I never met before! Kind of weird since I've been loyal to my DH for 11 years lol.

I didn't have spotting from my internal scan, surprisingly. Usually I do though. I think maybe because the ultrasound tech had me insert the wand myself and I maybe didn't put it up as far as they would have
