Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[girlinyork]

God, yes! Whenever the injury/illness/death of a child/youngish person comes on TV I cry or turn it over. Poor, poor, kiddies and poor, poor, families.

JDH -that's fab news, so pleased it went well x

So sad hearing people having to bury their children, it shouldn't be that way round, parents worse nightmare x

 

[mackjess]

Sorry for being a total Debbie Downer yesterday! I was just like OMG I don't know if I can do this. Heh, I guess it's better to worry about what kind of parent you will be and if you will be good at teaching and protecting your children than not thinking about it.

How is everybody feeling this morning? (Or whatever part of your day it is )

 

[A1983]

Exactly jess, sounds like you'll make a fab mummy

So I'm feeling a bit more nauseousagain today..but not as much as Monday, but I suppose it won't necessarily increase all the time, but have peaks and dips?

Also one thing I am also thinking about/worried about is my lack of cramping/stretching in my uterus...I had it once last week on Thursday night but that's it?! I just associate mild cramping with growth...any of you ladies not experience any/much cramping?

Hope you are all well

A - I only had the cramping/stretching feeling on Saturday. And I didn't have any sick feelings until that day and they are getting worse after, so still getting new or increased symptoms. Yesterday I felt fine all day. Today I accidentally brushed my tongue too far back (really I barely brushed it far back AT ALL) and instantly threw up in the sink. But now my bbs hurt less. So it seems to definitely come and go.

Ah! I had to leave work today.. Horrible MS!!!!!! im terrified to wake up in the morning cause I know its going to hit as soon as I sit up Yucky

 

[JDH1982]

Pissed off isn't the word!!!

The lab haven't sent my blood results to my doctors so i'm going to have to wait until tomorrow now. I had them done at 8am, it's now nearly 6pm!

I'm so angry.

 

[girlinyork]

Noooo! I bet you're chewing at the bit!

 

[JDH1982]

GIY - I am!

I'm trying not to get upset and stressed as I know it won't change the result, but I'm a pregnant woman who's bleeding and who has had 5 MC already, I just need to know one way or the other and the stupid lab are shit!

Sorry, rant over lol

Hope you're all well x

 

[A1983]

Can you ring the lab? My oh did pretending to be a nurse from my hospital!

 

[mackjess]

JDH, you can totally slap my face off if you don't like this quote.

“Worry pretends to be necessary but serves no useful purpose”

I know it is so hard not to worry, and I can not begin to imagine what you are going through after 5 losses. Please try to hang in there for your snuggly bean, the worry and stress will not be good for it. I'm sure it's impossible, but I'll be praying for you. Deep breaths, throw a TV out a window, chant "I got this", I dunno. But I hope you hang in there without going mad before the results come in. I had myself worked into a crying fit waiting on my once, so I know I'm one to talk.

 

[JDH1982]

Thanks Jess hun, I won't slap you as you are completely right! Lol

I'm just going to chill with a good old chick flick!

Roll on tomorrow when I'll finally know one way or the other x

Hi ladies. Had to take a 2 day hiatus. I sometimes stress out if I'm on the boards too much. I end up comparing all of my symptoms and freaking out. I'm not as depressed today but I don't mentally feel pregnant...if that makes sense. Even though we saw a heartbeat last week, it doesn't feel real. I feel like I'm tired but not exhausted, I'm having MS but I'm no longer queasy all day but I throw up randomly, my bbs are sore but not all of the time--still big though. My nipples are very sore, still having some cramping, off-white thick CM, and heartburn but I don't feel pregnant enough. Almost like everyone has been lying to me. My 8 week scan is next week but i havent scheduled it yet because I'm scared to get bad news. How is everyone else doing? I feel like you guys are keeping it together a lot better than I am!!

 

[A1983]

Not at all Beth-I'm so nervous and it's on my mind 24/7 (unless distracted by work momentarily!) I keep waking in the night with it on my mind and my stomach churning with nerves. Have my 7 week scan next week. Well I'd be very proud of your symptoms hun, I'm yet to throw up (I know some women never do, just nausea) my nipples are sore and breasts tender to touch around the sides. Have been having a lot of nausea but it's calmed down the last 2 days and I'm panicking. I've also only had mild cramping on 2 days last week so fretting about that too. I agree with you about symptom comparing as everyone is different but it's hard not to worry when you are experiencing less symptoms than others. The only answer is the scan x

 

[bethneebabe]

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time too A1983. It sounds like things are going well for you though! I think it's easy to forget that the odds are in our favor. 80%+ of pregnancies once detected will go to term. If those were odds in Vegas, we'd all be putting our money down and celebrating! But since we've experienced the flip side, I know that that seems more real. I just sucked it up and made my scan for Tuesday afternoon. I should be about 8 weeks then based on my last scan. I am trying to only be positive. I keep telling myself--we will see a strong heartbeat with a perfectly developing baby.

 

[girlinyork]

Of course you will Beth I feel fairly confident that the ladies in this thread will be taking a baby home x

 

[mackjess]

Beth - I'm about to shit a brick because of my scan tomorrow. I think that may be part of my queasy feelings, more nerves than anything. LOL. I'm SOOOO scared. I told family on Thanksgiving and now I feel like that was a dumb move.

Great new on the heartbeat for you though. The rate of m/c drops below 5% if you hear the heartbeat at 6 weeks.

and tomorrow is my 6 week scan....so now I'm back to shitting a brick.

 

[A1983]

Thanks Jess and Beth. Good luck for your scans, it's even worse when it's in the afternoon I find as the day drags and my nerves increase to crazy levels! So know what you mean about the nerves induced nausea!

 

[mackjess]

I'm going to go home and tune out tonight. Download a book on the kindle or something. I'd love to tune out at work right now, but I'm swamped! If I just have one thing to do I can tune out my fears pretty well and concentrate on it, but today 90 diff things have popped up so then I get time to worry in between. It seems if I don't get to have a one track mind I go right back to worrying. Honestly, this is the most scared I've been in my life. Even more scary than when I was in the ER. One loss can be a fluke, so scared about multiple losses or how I'd make through it again.

Just doing my best to stay positive because I also believe this is a lucky thread, and just maybe I'll be lucky enough to be one of the lucky ones too this time.

Hi ladies my scan is Friday and I am F-R-EA-K-I-N-G out I hope all this sickness is for a cute, perfect bean
