Hey mrsP! Well after a rough few days (see previous whining!) I actually had a good day today! I had a girls brunch booked and although I was half dreading it as I had been feeling so crap I actually woke up feeling ok and really enjoyed myself. Plus the ms has stayed away most of the day so haven't really got much to complain about lol. Glad you feeling good, am making the most of the days I feel good as before you know it it will be back to bite you!
Glad you enjoyed your brunch Bonnie, definitely important to make the most of the good days. I think I got away with last night pretending to drink, no one questioned me on it really. Thinking its quite bad really how socialising here revolves so much around drinking, n that not drinking for anyone seems so unusual. Hmmm

I've been feeling pretty good, but yesterday I had a really long, active day and by evening I felt tired and dizzy. Last night I had a small stain of brown blood in my underwear and I freaked out, but I haven't had any more since. Going for an early scan tomorrow (I'll be almost 8 weeks) and hoping for the best. Anyone else had spotting?

Quick update ladies, so I'm feeling more optimistic, as you've all said and DH agrees can't do anything more than I'm already doing. Will be 7 weeks Tuesday, so my little bean's made it to here so far. Doctor can't see me to even confirm pregnancy for another week but we're busy this week so hoping it'll fly by!
Bonnie - so glad you've had a good day. Makes all the difference! Xx

I've been doing so well but on Friday everything started going downhill and I've felt sick since then. It sucks 
I am hoping it doesn't last. Also I've noticed lately that I've been colder than usual. Has anyone else gotten this???

I have my first OB appointment tomorrow and I can't wait... I'm both excited and anxious, but mostly excited. I'm not sure if I'll get a sonogram this week though... when the doctor's office called to confirm my appt, I asked if they did ultrasounds on site and they said no, I would have to go to a different office for it... so I'm not sure if they will order one and I can go get it the same day or the next day... or if the doctor will tell me to wait a few more weeks. I don't think I can wait any longer... I need confirmation that the little babe is growing properly and has a strong beating heart.
Hey Trying, gosh that must have been a bit scary! Glad everything is ok.
How is everyone else doing? I've had a rough day today, felt sh*t since I got up and spent the morning with my head down the loo, all got a bit much so just had a cry on the bathroom floor! I feel so crap at the moment and I've got a few friends on Facebook who are pregnant and posting pics of them all happy and looking great and gushing about how wonderful it is being pregnant and how excited they are. Makes me think I'm being over dramatic about things but I feel so bloody crap! It's like a permanent hangover plus flu plus norovirus! Makes me feel better to know some of you guys are going through it too. I feel guilty about complaining when we have tried so long to get pregnant but it's so much harder than I thought! No one I know went through it like this so I was totally unprepared. We always wanted 2 close together but this has really put me off having another
I really felt for you Bonnie when I read this. I am glad to hear things are improved since posting that. I have been going to some serious misery and cry so much I am afraid it's not good for me. I am going through a reoccuring wave of symptoms. I have a couple of these on a daily basis.. vertigo, headaches, diarrhea, vomiting, horrid gas, painful bladder (had to stop my meds for IC which is really worrying me), depression, low grade fever, total fatique, hot flashes, cold sweats, & cronic vomit inducing coughing. I feel like I have the worlds longest flu though I am starting to manage the symtoms a little better by finding triggers.
I stopped taking B6 which I noticed was triggering flu like attacks. I would take it then get this horrid wave of dizziness and hot flash. I would then just lay in misery for several hours in bed. Ginger pills also turned out to be a no no. I can only take my folic and some Benedryl to help my bladder and allergies. The headaches are better though I am plagued with everyday weakness, vertigo, coughing, and bladder ache. I am in the middle of switching OBGYN which will be great once they FINALLY get me in. They say another two weeks for my appt, but I am working other angles to get myself in sooner. I really need to talk to the OB about my bladder and what meds and I can start taking and when. I am scared to death of my bladder being in constant pain throughout the pregnancy.
Needless to say...those of you without morning sickness thank your lucky stars. Mine has been so bad I can honestly say this will be only child. I can never do this again. I truly wanted at least two kids but I simply cannot put myself through this again. Being in bed almost all day for at least a month now and I am now dreading the rest of this pregnancy. I just don't have the constitution for pregnancy. Especially once I have a little one to take care of.
Best of luck to you ladies and I hope none of you are suffering. I hope I can report back better news once this trimester is coming to an end.

Oh nugget I so feel for you! What your going through sounds pretty horrific!! I'm glad you're getting yourself to a doctor soon. They'll help, and hopefully second trimester will too!!!
I think I'm having it fairly easy in comparison now!
We're all here for you though, keep us up to date, hopefully writing about it helps a little? Xx

Oh nugget!! Feel for you. I suffer with IC too and used to take prophylactic antibiotics but stopped them a while before I fell pg. have been really conscious of it since I fell pg and am drinking as much water as I can stomach. My mw rang the other day and said my last urine results looked a bit dodgy so I have to repeat then this week. To be honest I know I have a bit of an infection right now but having had IC for 15 years I am pretty practiced at how to manage it. My triggers are fruit juice and sweet sugar drinks, and sweet foods. Have been steering clear of them with my ms anyway.
I feel for you with the ms! Have had a good few days myself but today for no reason it came back to kick my butt again. Like you I have stopped my complete prenatals as I noticed I always felt worse after them and for the moment am just taking folic acid alone. I know it's not ideal but I can't handle the side effects of the others. How far along are you now? Hope you find some relief in 2nd tri, and that your appointments go well. Stay in touch, at least you know we are all here xx

Talked my Ob into letting me have an early ultrasound at my appt yesterday, so I went in today and got to see AND hear the heartbeat!! Amazing! Feeling a lot less anxious now.

Omg please send me some of your positive vibes because I am going to be doing the same thing with my doctor on Monday.
I want to know how many are in there and all that stuff so I can prepare. I also want the confirmation that everything is good considering I don't really feel any differently now than I normally do besides a few little things. I just need to be put at ease I guess just like you needed. 
Glad that everything went great and your OB gave you the early ultrasound!!!Buttons 1984

I think my OB could tell that I was pretty anxious during my first appointment... and when he said that they typically wait until around 13 weeks for the first ultrasound, I looked even more anxious and said "Do I really have to wait that long?" So then he said I could go get a dating scan, which is done between 7 and 10 weeks I think. The receptionist let me make the appointment for the next day, even though I was still going to be 1 day shy of 7 weeks. But I'm really glad it worked out and I am quite happy with my OB and the office staff. They really seemed to care about making me feel more at ease.
Also, if it means anything, I'm not having a lot of symptoms anymore either... the occasional pull and twinge of pain... and I do get a bit nauseous here and there (haven't thrown up yet), but other than that I feel pretty good. Oh, and my boobs are a tiny bit sore, but not too bad. I have to poke them just to make sure they are still tender.
