Good make sure you do it with a full bladder easier to find heartbeat

It's so quiet here! How is everyone doing?

I'm very excited to have finally made it to 12 weeks!!! My parents already knew but we told the rest of our families a few days ago (after a scan.. I won't get another scan before 20 weeks so I figured it didn't make a huge difference if I told them now or later). And now that I'm officially 12 weeks I finally can tell anyone!! I've actually just told the neighbours, and their daugther already offered to babysit and let him or her use their swimming pool. lol

I don't know when I'm going to announce it on facebook though, I kind of want to wait. Or I might not make any announcement at all.

Hi Ladies,

May I cautiously join your group? A little about me:

I have a 21 month old boy, and in February we found out that he was going to be a big brother. Unfortunately I lost that pregnancy at 5weeks. However, we found out that we are expecting again in April. I am now 10weeks. My EDD based on LMP was 17th December, but at the 8 week dating scan, bubs measured 2 days ahead with a strong heart beat at 172 bpm, and they pushed my EDD forward at 15th December, which I will most certainly take! hehe.

Unfortunately at the scan they also noticed a small subchorionic hematoma which came as a complete surprise as I had not had any bleeding. I will need a followup scan when I am just under 12 weeks. Hopefully it will be resolved by then.

Happy, healthy 9 months to us all

Welcome Bay!

 

[Bay]

Thank you for the welcome ladies

I'm no sure if this is a silly question or not, but is anyone else experiencing not peeing as often, after needing to pee every 1-2 hours early on? I remember with my son it eased up for a little while before getting bad again later in pregnancy but i can't remember exactly when.

I'm only 10 weeks along and have noticed in the last couple of days i haven't been getting up every 2 hours to pee at night.

And also my ms is all over the place. I'm good for a couple of days then it comes back with a vengeance then vanishes and back again. Lol i must sound like a worry wart.

 

[Nitengale]

I am also experiencing the same thing with the peeing and the ms. I'm sure it's normal, I'm not worried about it.

Congrats on reaching 12 weeks grenouille!!! So exciting isnt it Am very nervous this morning, have my 12 week at 2:30pm this afternoon and am scared, hope and praying that all is fine. I had a 10 weeks two weeks ago and baby was great with a strong HB so fingers crossed

Welcome Bay! Hope you have a H&H 9 months Im not peeing as much as I use to. I never had to get up during the night to pee but just have a super big one in the morning, sounds a bit like Niagara Falls!!!

Have a good day everyone

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Hi, best of luck Kate for your scan today. Im sure it was all be perfect as it should be x

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Hi Bay, welcome.
My MS comes and goes aswell. For a while there at 10 weeks I thought it has eased up but then it came back with avengeance! As for peeing, I do tend to wake up during the night for it and often throughout the day but then again I do drink lots of water!

 

[LalaR]

Hi Bay. Good to see you over here. This is a great group- all really supportive. I wouldn't worry about the symptoms. The placenta takes over after 10+ weeks so symptoms usually get less after that.
Kate- I hope everything was good at your scan. I can't wait to get as far as my 12 week scan. Only 3 weeks to go. L x

 

[crancherry]

Welcome Bay! Congrats on your new "milestone" Grenouille! Kate, best of luck at your scan today

I have actually not needed to pee a great deal more than normally at all so far. I have had a few stretches where I had to get up once in the night, but for the most part, I actually expected to have to go more often than I do.

I reached 11 weeks over the weekend and suddenly feel like I am "popping out" a bit - not necessarily showing a bump yet but I feel like my whole front is sticking out from my ribs to my hips now. I can still fit in my clothes but it just looks weird to me. An "in-between" stage I suppose. On one hand I was hoping it would be a little longer in anticipation that I wouldn't get too huge overall, but on the other hand, it is kind of exciting to see a little bit of the physical aspect become apparent (to me anyway!). To everyone else I think I just look like I had too much lunch :/

 

[Donna_barnes]

Welcome bay xx

Kate, how did the scan go??

I've been a worry wart too recently within symptoms. Mine seem to drop right off at 9 ish weeks and I've been worried since. MS was chronic and now very infrequent plus although still tired, I'm not the crazy tired that I was. I hope I'm worrying about nothing, just scared that at sea they will say both babies have gone

I have a consultants appointment yesterday and they have a portable ultrasound where they have a quick peek, so tomorrow will have an answer.

Sorry for the TMI questions, but had anyone having any "toilet trouble"?? I'm really struggling to go and it's causing me huge discomfort. I read iron tablets can give you bad constipation so I've stopped taking them.meating fruit and veg and drinking plenty but still suffering. Any tips??

Xxx

 

[hopefulthstym]

Hi Bay, welcome! I have noticed my ms symptoms being all over the place as well. good to have you on here!
Kate- Good luck! I'm sure everything will be wonderful!
Grenouille- yay! congrats!!
Crancherry- Haha!! I'm with you! my parents skyped me the other day and my mom asked if I had been depressed lately because I had gained weight! lol.. if only she knew.

I have my 11-2 scan tomorrow night, I've never gotten this far in a pregnancy before! so I have a question for the US ladies on here-
will they schedule me another 4 weeks out or will they do an earlier gender scan? I don't really have a preference, but I would like to know.

 

[Nitengale]

My doctor is waiting to do mine at around 16 weeks.

Question: are you ladies really tired? I am so exhausted its almost unbearable sometimes. I don't know how to shake it off. Long gone are the days when I could caffeinate my sleepiness away.

 

[hopefulthstym]

Donna_Barnes- I have been having "toilet troubles" as well lately. My doctor said that it's normal, but she said that it is safe to take metamucil during pregnancy as it is mostly fiber. also, I drink sparkling water, as the carbonation seems to help move things along. hope that helps!

Nitengale- I have been exhausted! My DH teases me because on the days I don't work I sleep and veg all day, and then go to bed early! lol.
