Bump buddies needed for Halloween babies!

[Leeze]

Mel - I've been having trouble sleeping since Sunday when I got the first faint line on the IC. I feel exhausted in the evening and I get to sleep ok but I've been waking up around 5am most mornings and feeling really awake (and needing to pee). I hope this settles down, I feel like I'm going to need all the sleep I can over the next few months/years!!

 

[9babiesgone]

Oh no! I am So sad for you. did you have a scan to confirm?

yep I did, nothing in there.

Oh 9babies, I am so sorry to hear that!

Sending you big ((((HUGS)))) and love!

Take care of yourself xxxx

Yeah thanks. I am doing ok. could be better. in a lot of pain.

I am so sorry to hear 9babies...hugs to you.

Leeze, right after I got my first bfp I couldn't sleep for a few nights. I thought it was from excitement, but I really haven't slept great since. Last night my son woke me up at 3am and I couldn't go back to sleep the rest of the night

sorry to hear you're not sleeping great either, but it does make me feel a bit better to know I'm not alone with this! I'm hoping it settles down because I'm guessing we'll need lots of strength and energy later on! Did you have this with your pregnancy with your son too, and if so did it settle down?

 

[Girlnextdoor]

I don't remember it being a problem with my son, but it is possible I just don't remember.

 

[Girlnextdoor]

I really hope we both start sleeping better though. I was exhausted all day today.

Is anyone getting acid reflux? I'm getting it only at night, which seems so strange to me.

So sorry to hear that 9babies.

Leez I know how you feel. Since I got my test results so early that one morning I have had pretty much the same type of sleep pattern wake up at about 4-5am and can't get back to sleep pee really bad and end up just laying there staring at the wall till my alarm goes off at about 6am. Has been leaving me exhausted. Hopefully can get some sleep tonight.

Also was wondering is it normal for older symptoms to ceise? I was getting sharp pains which apparently was normal which has stopped and was bloated for about a week or so but now it seems that the bloating has gone away for the most part and the only symptom left is tenderness. And today I noticed some cm. I haven't had any ms or crazy hungerness any more than normal since have always been a big eater even before pregnant.
Is this just me being a worry wart? Sorry for all the questions but this is the first so I really have no clue what to expect what is normal or what is abnormal.

I'm the same - have a tiny bit of cramping maybe once a day or so, breasts are a little bit heavier feeling than normal and aside from the tiredness - I'm not feeling that many symptoms. I've done lots of reading around it in the last couple days - apparently for about 50% of women they don't get bad ms - and a lot of the other symptoms don't always hit until about 6 weeks. I've read that unless we experience heavy bleeding or very painful cramping then we should assume everything is ok. You can't help but worry, though, can you? I'm trying my best to be a bit more relaxed about it and hope for the best but I do go through quite a lot of moments of worrying!!

I'm not getting acid reflux, but I did have quite bad indigestion last night. Mind you, I normally eat quite quickly so even before preg got a lot of indigestion! I'm trying to eat slower and chew more but it doesn't seem natural somehow!!

Hi ladies. Sorry I've been MIA. Absolutely gutted about 9babies.

I have a stinking headache this morning. Went to my friends 60th and I'm sure I've got someone else's hangover. We got it and the babysitter was chatting until 2am (she didn't seem in any hurry to get home!) and I'm usually asleep by midnight max. I feel awful. Sooo tired.

Re general pregnancy symptoms my breasts are only just starting to feel tender. I feel slightly sick (think that's because I'm so tired though) occasionally mild cramps and fatigue. That's it. I could sleep for a week!

 

[Nat0619]

Hi Ladies

9Babies, I am so very sorry to hear your sad news Have the docs done any tests to see why you have lost that many? Surely there is something they can do? Hope very much to see you back in First Tri very soon x

I am still pretty symptomless! Just have a very bloated belly and occasional twinges, but these are a lot, lot less now (which hopefully is good ) I felt I needed some reassurance this morning that is still there so took a spare OPK I have (getting 2 positive OPKS at 13dpo was what made me take my first HPT and I have no HPTs in the house at mo!) - was a very, very dark line, the most positive OPK I've ever got so it's definitely picking up something strong Wanted reassurance mainly as going over to mom and dad's later and plan on telling them

Have all you ladies told anyone yet? x

I'm fine thanks honey. How are you feeling today? X

Thanks makes me feel better that I'm not the only one with a serious lack of symptoms. I guess I should consider it lucky so far.

Nat: I only told two of my old co-workers yesterday cause I just have been dying to tell someone. And since hubby says have to wait to tell anyone till after first check at 8 weeks I didn't think it would hurt to tell them since he will never find out about it. It is killing me not saying anything.

 

[9babiesgone]

I'm fine thanks honey. How are you feeling today? X

eh I am ok i guess.

 

[Pielette]

Hi ladies. How is everyone?
So sorry to hear your news 9babies
I'm doing well, went out last night for hubby's birthday and had a great time! He's so hungover today though, people kept buying him drinks. I was chuckling to myself on the water and thinking, oh dear, tomorrow's not going to be good...

 

[Waitress]

Hi everyone - I thought you'd all run off and left me. I couldn't find the thread for 2 days! If it moves again I'll start to get a complex...

9babies, I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope you have the company and support you need. I am sending you a big

I like Sundays - my ticker kicks on another week on a Monday morning. I have my first scan a week tomorrow - even though I still haven't heard from the midwife yet. Yesterday I got dates through for my 12 week and 20 week scan but still no midwife appointment. Is this normal?

I hope everyone is doing well. I have been feeling a little dizzy and sick but nothing major. I think I'm more bloated than anything else but my hunger seems to be subsiding a bit that is now worrying me. I keep having to pee during the night but right now I think thats the only symptom I have. Am still in the "Thank God" territory every time I go to the loo and there is nothing alarming happening.

And this classic from my MIL on the phone today "Your FIL and I were just saying, by the time your baby is walking, you'll be 40!". I said "You should go on Mastermind with your specialised subject as "State the bleeding obvious" and then passed her to my husband. If I get through this pregnancy without bopping her on the nose it will be a miracle.

My husband tried to be supportive by saying "You won't sweetheart, they generally walk within a year so you'll still be 39" God help me.

Hi everyone

9babies - thinking of you and hope you're doing ok

Nat - I've told 2 close friends and one person at work. My OH wants to wait until we're past 12 weeks to tell everyone else but I'm hoping I can persuade him that we should do it sooner (after 8 weeks, I reckon) because, like Ahcigar, I'm dying to tell everyone!! I read that after 8 weeks there's only about a 5% chance of miscarriage and after 12 weeks it goes down to 1%. Also, I've got an early scan booked for 11th March and I'm thinking if things look ok then that I'd like to tell my parents as they will be so thrilled. I'm gonna work on my OH to convince him it will be ok to tell people sooner!!

I'm not really feeling any more symptoms but I did fall asleep on the sofa this afternoon which is unlike me. I also did an IC test this morning and the line came up really quickly and was a lot darker than any previous ones. So, I'm being reassured by that at the moment!

Has anyone started looking at maternity clothes? I know it's way too early but I love shopping and have been having a little look around on the internet!! Any excuse!!

Pielette - another one of the great advantages of being pregnant, getting to laugh at other people's hangovers!!!

Darling - I hope you managed to get some rest and are feeling a bit better now!

Oh - and what supplements are people taking? I bought 2 packs of the pre-conception pregnacare last month so am thinking of finishing these before I get anything else. I also ordered some fish oil EPA tablets yesterday because I read these are good for healthy development

 

[Leeze]

Hi Waitress!! glad you found us again!

your post made me laugh out loud about your MIL and your response. I'm 38, nearly 39 - so there's a good chance I'll be 40 or thereabouts by the time our little one is walking. I'm wondering how old your MIL will be? You could always remind her of that one!! I wouldn't try that on my MIL though, because she'll be 87 by then!!!! (My OH is 46 and she was 40 when she had him!). Mind you, she's got an older sister still alive at 99 and one that is 100 - so if you take that into consideration then 40 is pretty young, I reckon!!!)
