Hi Girls, Congratulations workingttc, great news,
Sorry to all the other ladies who are having a tricky time.
I still dont really have any symptoms, some days by boobs/nipples are sore and then not. I do get tired and dizzy, but thats about it. Who knows, im sure it totaly normal though.
Quick question, my cramps stopped quite early on, but recently I get and ache,twingey feeling. Does anyone else get that?
 
hi ladies, thanks for all the support.

I phoned my doctor this morning and had a chat with her, she booked me in at the epu at my local hospital for a scan at 12 which was great to get in so quick. All was ok thank goodness! Saw baby, heartbeat was good, the sonographer said everything looked great and she could see no reason for the bleeding, and maybe just being 8 1/2 weeks, some women get a slight bleed at the time they would have had their period.

Was reassuring to see baby again, it was wriggling slightly which the sonographer pointed out so that was lovely

Definitely feeling better now, and so glad they got me in so quickly.

Hope everyone else is ok. Claire1 I have some twinges/aches now too - worried me today because of the bleeding, but I think 9ish weeks is when the uterus starts to move up so could be that?
 
Thats great dreamer, glad all is well. I didnt know that about the uterus, but thats reasuring and makes sense as it has only been the last few days :) I think I need to catch up on some reading lol
 
Stranjegirl-sorry things are so stressful for you - hopefully the 2nd tri will go more smoothly

LadyL - darn those emotions! If you makes you feel better I have two and still very few symptoms outside of occasional cramps and being super tired - oh and the postnasal drip from hell. I have only felt a pinch in my boobs maybe twice (and nothing seems to be getting any bigger). I've felt nauseous maybe twice. And that sucks about not being able to get the u/s. Honestly we were so blown away by the news that we didn't even look for a hb (although the tech noted what it was at so it was definitely there)

_dreamer_ - Glad to hear everything went well at your apptmt

workingttc - Congrats and welcome to the group!!! You've now gone from the 2ww to the long wait between each appointment lol!

trixie - hope you don't have an infection, will keep my fx'd for you

Claire1 - don't know about the achey, twingy feeling, I'm still having the occasional cramps

ok I think I'm caught up, although I don't have anything really to add myself. Still very tired. Still in shock over the twins, although fighting the paranoia that one of them might disappear before my next visit (the vanishing twin thing.. darn internet). Counting down the days til I go back in.. 24 days. July is going to be a loooooong month for me. Looking forward to a long weekend for the 4th of July holiday - and getting to take naps anytime I want! =)
 
Hey everyone, Well I'm 5 weeks tomorrow (by my calculations) and have my first doctor's appointment booked for Monday. When I called to book it, the receptionist said that the doctor didn't want to see me until I was 6 to 8 weeks. So by Monday I still won't be that far along so hopefully there won't be a problem with being there then. I'd just like to get my first tests rolling so I get some reassurance that everything is going well since this is my first pregnancy. But so far, I had a couple days of nausea (which might have been related to plans I had with people where I knew drinking would be involved), sore BB's and very thirsty.

We haven't told anyone yet and are planning on waiting as long as possible. But I'm going to visit my family this summer (they live across the country) and I'll only be about 8+ a few days by then and I'll probably tell them then though OH won't be with me. The only other time I'll be near them, I'll be at 14 weeks and I'd rather they know before I tell work and stuff.

Claire - I had a lot of cramping feelings yesterday and the day before. So far none today. It was super mild abdominal cramps like during AF and some of that felt kind of twingy on the sides by my hips. I read a lot about it yesterday because I was getting worried, and apparently it's perfectly normal. Provided there isn't severe pain and red blood. But it's hard not being concerned about the little things we experience if we haven't been through it before. I hope everything is okay for you!

Hope everyone else is doing well! Happy Canada Day!!
 
Thanks everyone! I am feeling better today. Just needed a good night's (or day's) sleep I guess.

Tobaira, that does make me feel better that you haven't had many symptoms either. And, stay off Google! My friend was obsessed with the "vanishing twin" thing too and her babies are just fine!!

Dreamer, so glad you got to see your baby today and are reassured that all is well!!

Claire, I still only have cramps like once or twice a day. I do get a bubbly feeling every now and then, but I think it's just gas!! It probably is your uterus moving upward.

Trixie, fingers crossed you don't have an infection!

Lotusflower, good luck at your appt next week!! I'm sure all will be well!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Yay!!!! This first trimester is SO scary!!!! So happy for you!! :)
 
well i had my midwife appointment and it was the same midwife that came out to me after the triplets, so it was very emotional. she didnt swab me but took a urine sample which is all clear and told me to hold out till tue when i see my consultant.

im still very tired....wretching at smells all the time, but not sick.....same as last time...
i wonder if its a girl as i had 3 girls the last time?? everything is the same.....

another 2 weeks to go, and im out of the 1st trimester.........i cant wait.
i think i was 16 weeks last time when i felt great! you forget how crap you feel when pregnant!!!!
 
That must have been very emotional Trixie. Are you feeling ok? I know a miscarriage at any time is very difficult, but I can't imagine at 23 weeks. Was your last pregnancy risky due to having triplets? (I don't know anything about multiples and if over 2 causes greater risk?) I hope you are feeling ok! You have had your share of suffering and deserve a very very easy pregnancy!!!
 
Aaaahhhh!! OMG! I am so excited! I found my baby's heartbeat on a pocket doppler earlier today! I had ordered it over 2 weeks ago, but it said it couldn't pick up til 8-10 weeks. So I tried today at exactly 8 weeks and found it after about 5 minutes looking! It was about 156 beats/minute. That just eased my anxiety so much!! Maybe now I can calm down til my scan in 10 days!!

Hope you all are having a fabulous weekend!!
 
yayyy!!! That is fantastic! I bet that was a huge relief! Where did you find it? I still can't find mine :p
 
Try even with your belly button but just above the pubic bone (or just above the pubic hair line). The trick is not to really move the probe around a whole lot, just very small movements at a time. And press hard enough to where you don't really hear a whole lot of static. I tried that and it worked a lot better. Oh, and use a generous amount of gel too! Good luck!

And yes, it is such a huge relief. I feel like I can breathe for the first time in this pregnancy!! Except now, my obsession is gonna be keeping myself from using it everyday!! Haha!

Thanks! I just tried again but no luck :( I can hear my own in multiple places and at one point I thought I may have heard two, but then it disappeared, and I don't know if it was just blood rushing. I see the doctor and I'm hoping he can find the baby with an abdominal scan. We've had no luck with that so far. Maybe once I achieve that I can ask him where the baby is!
 
Yay LadyL, that's awesome. I've decided not get a pocket doppler, I would become way too obsessed with it I'm sure!

This weekend was really long, I was hoping to be able to relax but everyday we were busy - bleagh. I took my niece to my neighbor's daughter's bday party on Saturday. I thought I was going to be sick - apparently I can't stand the smell of sugary stuff right now. Between the smell of the cake and the appearance (like 4 neon colors) I just wanted to hurl. I guess my body doesn't want any sugar!! =)

finally at 8 weeks! yay raspberry!
 
Congrats on being 8 weeks tobaira!

I just had a scan and everything is still good! Had some more blood this morning, but not too much. Doctor found baby on the abdominal doppler for the first time. He said my pelvis is very deep (I am very very tall) so that is why I can't hear the heartbeat on my home doppler. Hopefully soon! Hope everyone is well!
 
That's great news Stranjegirl! And so good to know about the doppler - I'm 5'11, so if I have that issue down the road, I will definitely be glad to have this info!
 
well guys i had my booking and scan and everything is great.....very active baby apparently and he or she is making me feel so sick i have taken the week off work!
 
Such great news, Trixie! But sorry you are feeling so sick!
