December Rainbow Babies!!! Congrats New Mom scoobydrlp PINK!

[Krippy]

Only symptoms I have are feeling so tired like I am hung over. Or not being able to sleep at all which isn't too bad. How is everyone? It 7 pm and me and my love are BBQ ribs on grill. First time. Normally I put them in crock pot. Fx they come out good.

I am so happy to see you here! Congrats on your BFP!

I haven't been on here much as I have been feeling really horrible. I am sick and nauseous all day. Not complaining bc I love the reminder that I am indeed pregnant but makes it hard to do things like be on the computer. Have my scan tomorrow and getting excited! Can`t wait to see this bubs!

I'm just starting to get slightly sick. I didn't have any morning sickness with my daughter (other than brushing my teeth in the second tri), so maybe that's a good sign.

Lala, I know how stressful teh brown is when wiping. As Donna said shes had it too and me aswell. Ive gad about two weeks of brown and on two occasions red. It def. is common and old blood. Fingers crossed I havent had anymore brown for about 6 days now.
I know that your HCG numbers were great so try not to stress. I would play it by ear for the next couple of days and if the brown continues or gets worse or your symptoms get less then phone Epas and say that you've been having pain aswell and red. I know that you def. have to be 6 weeks though for them to see anything. Are you taking a low dose aspirin? Cant rememeber if I asked you before but if not Id highly recommend that you start, its not too late just incase you have a clotting problem like me xx

 

[LalaR]

Thanks Donna and justkeep. I am trying my hardest not to stress but I still am on a subconscious level. Woke last night having had a nightmare about me haemorrhaging. It has been quite light - not enough to reach pants but a little darker today than the past few days. Definitely not the v dark brown I had last Sun. I just feel that I know too much about what could be going wrong.
I do have some baby aspirin but the midwife advised against it saying it could keep the bleeding going. I know a doctor who does private scans from 5 1/2 weeks for £35 so I might phone him if this continues for the next few days. Not got a huge amount of symptoms yet anyway

 

[MightyMom]

Welcome amjon !!!

So glad to see you finally here! And with a rainbow DD the same as your daughter's birth day, so sweet!

LalaR: No spotting or bleeding at all here but I definitely feel weird down there. Swollen and sore like I have been riding a bike or something. I keep checking when I wipe but there isn't much there. It is actually more dry than anything.

Krippy: Congrats and sorry on feeling sick, lol. It is rather miserable but it is good to have a constant reminder that your hcg numbers are good!

Donna: I cannot imagine how bad m/s must be with TWO beans! I hope it eases up for you soon.

AFM: I have been having the strangest dreams. Bad dreams really. I think that will ease up when I see a heartbeat. So nervous for my next scan! I really need to see a normal little bean and heartbeat at my next scan. Just the anxiety is making me nauseated, let alone the m/s!

I haven't been sick but I've been feeling really queasy. Now it's better, but I'm just sooo picky. I only eat because I have too! Last night I really loved my popcorn and ate way too much.. and because of that I had a really bad night, I woke up after a nightmare and I couldn't fall back asleep, I was feeling so gross!

I had a small piece of chicken and plain broccoli and tomatoes for dinner! OH is very sweet and wanted to make a broccoli salad when I said I'd have broccoli, but I just told him not to bother.. Nothing is appetizing anyway!

 

[MightyMom]

I have been having weird food aversions. I will buy a bunch of food, get it home and not want a bit of it!

 

[Nitengale]

Hey ladies, starting to feel a little queasy but not too much. Just supper thirst, like I can't get enough water but then I have to constantly use the bathroom.

I have a question: On May 4th when I am 7w+4d they want to do an intravaginal ultrasound on me. Is this normal and is it safe?

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Hi Nitengale, it is normal for them to do a transvaginal when you are so early on. But last year when I got this done I started non stopping spotting and bleeding afterwards which is common but it stressed me out. Anyway when I went for my 6 week scan 2 weeks ago I was going to say that Id prefer if they tried an abdominal scan first - I didnt even have to ask they automatically done an abdominal scan and seen the heartbeat so they shouldnt really have to do internal with you at 7+4. Just ask them if they could try that first .

Hi everyone else, Im mega queasy too. Feel like Im hungover yesterday and today, soo nauseaus and no food seems appealing everything makes me want to puke!

Lala, its a completely personal choice about the aspirin, and obvioulsy it will put you off taking it if you've been told that it will continue the bleeding.(dont know if I agree with this nurse but Im no doctor) From my own experience I was told that it does no harm whatsoever but can work wonders. Just thought you may benefit from it as you've had 2 previous miscarriages the same as myself. I hope it eases up for you.
As for going for a private scan that may be a good idea but you should wait until 6 weeks as thats normally the earliest the heartbeat can be seen so it would prob worry you more if you went earlier and didnt see it. Its annoying all the same how you should have to pay for a scan when your local EPAS should be accomodating you because of your previous miscarriages and now that your anxious due to this brown. Just remember that its obviously old blood coming from somewhereand the main factor is if you have no pain!

 

[MightyMom]

It is normal because weeks 7-10 will give you the best dating on a pregnancy plus they should be able to see a sac, measure the CRL and see a heartbeat. So a 7 week ultrasound is pretty typical for a woman with a history of m/c. And it is safe. It is a long wand with a very small ultrasound on the tip. It gets closer to your uterus and provides a much clearer picture than an abdominal u/s. You may have some spotting the day after from cervical irritation, but it isn't risky.

 

[Wiggler]

No symptoms here at all now apart from hunger I wanna feel sick, or have sore boobs, or ANYTHING!!!

Oh I hear ya Wiggler! My queasiness is so slight that sometimes I wonder if I'm making it up. BUT...these are going to be our forever babies! So keep your head up.

 

[Wiggler]

Even with the lack of symptoms I feel so much more positive about the pregnancy, I always felt a sense of doom about our angel pregnancy as much s it saddens me to say, but since I decided against the private scan I just want symptoms. I know I wont get many though, I didn't with my first 2 pregnancies. Roll on June for my scan!!!

 

[Donna_barnes]

Wish I could give you some of mine. I feel DIRE!!!

those eladies who are suffering - any tips? i feel horribly sick all the time and just generally feel like sh*t!! Like I'm hungover and haven't slept . any tips on how not not feel like absolute death?? xxxx

 

[asibling4gi04]

Hi ladies! Looks like I have some catching up to do! Thank you for all of the ocngrats and support. How is everyone?? I have not been on aside from a peak through my phone in days! My appointment was amazing. I go back on May 17th for a check up and than another scan at 12 weeks. I am feeling surreal..schocked, amazed! MY EDD IS 12/15! thanks for all of your support. Mini updates please?? otherwise I must go back and read all and I am working a double at work today!

 

[MightyMom]

Donna: Not sure what to do about the fatigue. I try to keep hydrated, that usually helps. I also take my vitamins mid-day rather than in the morning. That way I get the energy boost when I need it. For nausea I take ginger root supplements. They have always worked very well for me.

 

[katestar53]

Wowza, so much to catch up on!! Havent been on for about 5 days, went home to visit the folks and had a wedding to go to on Saturday which was hard. Think all my friends guessed that I pregnant with the whole not drinking thing as I do love my wine but managed to keep my mouth shut and just said that I wasnt feeling well!!!

Hope everyone is ok Am feeling very tired and sicky today. We have booked another private scan for a week on Saturday (5th May) so I will be about 10 weeks. Didnt think I could wait a whole four weeks without making sure everyting is ok.

asibling4gi04 - So exciting that you saw the HB, sending you a big cyper hug

 

[katestar53]

Yay, baby is the size of a raspberry now!!! Yippeeeeee

 

[LalaR]

Fab katestar. I like raspberries far better than appleseeds which is what i have just now!!

Asibling. Not much new here. Still trying to keep calm and settle my worries. Still little tiny bits of light brown discharge every so often. 10 days until my scan and it seems a lifetime away. As far as symptoms - not many. The odd wave of nausea continues but it may be masked by me continuing with my b6 supplements. Also occasional mild cramps. I am exhausted and have been sleeping loads.
How are things with you?

 

[asibling4gi04]

Lala yes I hear b6 helps the nausea! Ten days seems forever away but will be here before you know it! I am more fatigued now han anythng else..stay positive even though its hard..im here for you brown is old ok blood..
