I'm so glad to hear about all the good scans lately!!

Mattsgirl...how are you? Did you spotting stop?

As for me, I had a scary couple of days. Sunday evening I was downstairs folding laundry and felt a sudden wetness that stopped me in my tracks. I ran upstairs to the bathroom and had (sorry, tmi) what I would consider a gush of dark dark dark red blood. A little made it to my panties, but it seemed like a lot of blood as I was wiping. After I cleaned myself up, I put a pad on to monitor the bleeding and planned to call my doctor first thing yesterday morning. Fortunately, I didn't bleed anymore, not even spotting, over night and yesterday morning. I couldn't get in with my regular doctor so I had to see someone else. I waited an hour and half past my scheduled time for my appointment and the wait was absolutely agonizing. She did an exam and then an ultrasound and everything was a-okay. We saw and heard the heartbeat, my cervix was hard and closed, etc etc. She looked around my uterus for any sign as to what may have caused the bleed and she saw one spot that might be a small subchorionic hematoma (sp?) but wasn't concerned with it and wasn't even really convinced that was it. She said she didn't really have an explanation for the bleed, but thought maybe I had some blood trapped after my pap smear last week that just worked itself out. I have an appointment with my regular doctor next week so I'm hoping things stay uneventful this week and everything looks great next week as well. I didn't have any bleeding with my daughter so this was definitely a huge shock. She told me bright red blood and cramping is the scariest type of issues to be having and I didn't have any cramping or clots so she felt everything was okay. Sorry for the book, lol

Glad everything is ok with baby. That must have been sooo scary! But awesome you got to see and hear the heart beat.

I'm doing good. Thankfully no more bleeding. The nurse today at my appointment said its probably just because we dtd and semen have the same affect as water in the sense that one drop of blood an look like way more when they are mixed. She said if it hapenes again to monitor it amd if it becomes more than the size of a 50 cent piece to call immediately. My ultrasound on the 23rd. So 2 weeks from yesterday!

Sorry about your scare Lindsay that sounds horrible! I'm glad all was ok :hugs
Glad the spotting has stopped matts girl.
Melann that's so exciting!!

My holiday is going well - nice and relaxing. I've had some nausea and was sick on the plane on the way here but it's nice to be able to take things slowly and have some early nights

 

[Mattsgirl]

We ended up at the hospital yesterday after a gush of blood. The ultrasound confirmed a blighted ovum. Yolk sac but no baby. Bleeding and cramping has started. Good luck to all you ladies and your little christmas presents.

I'm so so sorry, mattsgirl!

How is everyone doing? I'm still quite tired but starting to have better periods where I don't feel as sick. we are coming home from holiday on Sunday so it's back to work on Monday, I am not looking forward to it but hopefully the nausea won't be as bad as it was before we came away.

 

[melann13]

I was feeling pretty miserable, but starting at about 11+3 I have felt almost normal! I still can't stomach coffee, which I usually love, and have specific food cravings, but the nausea is mostly gone, which is a welcome relief.

 

[oneday123]

My tiredness has started to ease (unless you count this evening......Friday evening after a looooong week!!). I'm not in bed quite as early now as I was. Sickness has been pretty good for the last 2 days (except for gagging when I brush my teeth! Yuck!!!).

Fingers crossed little one is all good and things are just getting ready for the second trimester!!

 

[rose.]

It's nice to have a bit of relief isn't it! Some days I feel mostly good, others quite sick. I am still struggling to swallow my vitamins, last night I almost threw up after having it.

 

[rose.]

Hi ladies how are you all doing? I've been feeling worse this week, much more tired and nauseous. I'm having to eat almost constantly otherwise I get shaky and even more nauseous! I can't wait to start feeling better.

I'm going to phone the hospital this morning as I haven't had an appointment through for my 12 week scan yet. I'm hoping they will book me one there and then

 

[littlemiss200]

Rose, did you manage to get an appointment for your scan?

Mine is next Thursday and I am already stressing over it!!!

My symptoms seem to be getting better week by week but then all of a sudden I'll have a really bad day, it is like you are being tricked into a false sense of security!

Hope everyone has a nice weekend x

They weren't very helpful on the phone but I got my letter through today saying that it's 2 weeks today. That will work well as DS will be at nursery so we won't have to take him with us. I felt better last week but this week I feel awful!! especially the last couple of days. I can't wait to feel normal again

 

[melann13]

I felt my worst at about 10-11wks. I think that while the placenta is taking over hormone production, you have extra high levels because the corpus luteum is still
Producing too. That's what I blamed anyway
I started to get better at 11.5wks. Still have bad days but not nearly as much nausea.

 

[rose.]

Yeah that makes sense. I managed to have a nice lunch at mums today without feeling too crap but now I'm home I feel rubbish again, and I'm supposed to be going out tonight.
