I mean I'm on progesterone not in!!
I didn't start it til day after bfp so the dizziness was def there before it. I'd forgotten about the headrushes when standing up -got a major one this morning.

It's fun to think that in the next week or so we'll probably be getting some ladies joining us with X-mas EDDs!

Also, I was just nosing around in some of the other month's discussion groups, and its fun and sweet to read the one's where the babies have been born or are going to be born any day now. It's crazy how slow time seems to be going by now (I really feel like i've been pregnant for months), but it's true that eventually 8 months WILL pass, and that will be us!

Now I need to get off B&B and due a zillion load of laundry. Blah.

Dizzyness and light headed has started here.

[Twinmum87]

So hard not to say anthing! Kids keep making comments about when we have a baby as they have known we planned on adding to the family at some point, so hard not to just blurt out that they will have a lil bro or sis here for christmas!

I had to take my step daughter to my specialist appointment with me the other day and obviously she heard baby mentioned. Well today when I took her back to her mother, I got a text message saying that she's been saying I have a baby in my tummy and it's coming soon. I neither confirmed or denied as she knows we were supposed to be going for ivf and luckily it was taken with a pinch of salt as she's only 4 and has an awesome imagination

Haven't been around but you guys know why!

We went to the police for my some helpful advice we were told that the landlord/realtor must go through the Marshall first to evict us, then, we have 5-10 days after that to pack and move out. So getting that help from the police has me extremely relaxed now, I don't need to pack in 24 hours, which lets face it, is just impossible.

I'm feeling nauseous and my back is killing me.
My husband has given me strict instructions to not pack, stress myself out, lift anything heavy, etc. So basically…I feel useless.

This is going to sound crazy, but I've heard that younger children can sense when you are pregnant. I can neither confirm or deny that since I have none but just something I hear on these forums.

Guys I'm really starting to worry here...the cramping has just gotten worse. I'm experiencing dull and sharp pains from left lower abdomen into the uterus. This doesn't seem good at all the pain is not severe but it's definitely there. I'm freaking out.... this is my very first pregnancy and I don't want to lose it.

 

[Brittahnee]

oh no! I had some of those last night, maybe cramp wasn't the right word…it was like, shooting pains in my uterus, but it only lasted a couple minutes. I wish I could be more helpful but this is my first pregnancy too. Of course if you are super worried, you can always call the doctor or visit the emergency room!

I will wait a couple of days and see if it's getting worse, if it is then I will have to call my doctor. I got my first u/s scan scheduled for the 17th, next Friday. Hopefully the pain won't be getting any worse, I can't wait for the scan though as it will be a wealth of information.

 

[ElmaWG]

Oh no, Becky! That sounds like it would be very worrying. All I can say, is lot of women have varying degrees of cramping in the first few weeks, and baby may very well be fine. I'm sure that isn't super reassuring, but I think all you can do at this point is wait, or call the doc if the pain increase or bleeding starts. I the meantime, maybe try to relax, put your feet up, and watch a good movie?

 

[luna_19]

I'm sorry Becky, are the cramps really painful? Personally if it was anything more than a usual menstrual cramp I would go to emerg just to make sure it's not an ectopic.or something

In fact it is reassuring, I know what to do now, I will make sure to pay attention to it the next couple of days. If the pains gets any worse I will definitely go to the ER.

Luna - I was thinking of going to the ER, but decided that the pain isn't bad enough, if it gets any worse at all these coming couple of days I will without a doubt go. I got the u/s scan on this coming Friday and I'm crossing my fingers the pain won't be worse by then. Either way I will make sure to update. Thanks for your support ladies, you are awesome!

 

[Flibberty87]

Becky my love, you need to remember your little baby is making all kinds of changes in there! Cramping is perfectly normal. Your uterus needs to grow and stretch out and your baby will snuggle in tight which can also cause pinching and shooting pains.

I understand how worrying it is, especially your first pregnancy. I've had 5 losses and every little twinge has me on edge but as long as it's not accompanied by bleeding, chances are it's all fine. Just stay hopeful and try not to stress too much I know that's easier said than done but just think, 6 more days any you will see baba!

10 more days for me it's going too slow!

 

[BeckyTy]

Flibberty thank you hun, hopefully everything will be fine!
You are so strong to have been through 5 losses, I can't imagine what it would be like. Like you say I will try to remain positive unless the pain intensifies or bleeding starts up , either way there is only 6 days left until my scan now, and I can't wait!

 

[Flibberty87]

I have loads of night shifts coming up so hopefully time will pass a little quicker for me. Hopefully I'll be a little less zombie like over the coming days, I've found I sleep better during the day at the moment so hopefully my night shifts will let me have a decent day time sleep! 10 more daaaaaays

Awww my appointment is also the 17th! I'm not sure if I'll have an ultrasound or not? I'm new to all this!!!

During the night I've developed an icky cold sore is this because my immune system is down or something? I've had them before but not for aaaaages.

Our immune systems are definitely suppressed. I came.down with strep throat, boo! I used.to get it quite often but hadn't for several years now!

Also important to note if it is strong pain, or dull, achey or sharp, and whethe it is on one side or general pain.

Ectopic pain, for me at least, was mostly one sided, and combined with spotting, and was sharp and got worse over days. My miscarriages had pains that were more like period cramps, but definitely combined with bleeding.

'Safe' cramps are twinge or stretching feelings, or gas pains, which aren't related to miscarriage. All hard to tell apart sometimes - no a bad idea to write it down, and don't be afraid to ask a doctor.
