g'mornin everyone! And welcome to the new ladies!

Hello May mommies!!!!!!
How is everyone feeling? I'm due 5/14! I couldn't be more excited I've just been veeeeeeeeeeeeery sleepy and just general queesy feeling! How did everyone's first appt go? My hubby and I felt so relieved to see that lil sticky bean and that heartbeat flickering at 156~~~

How far along were you at your appt? I will be 7 weeks when I go for my first appt... wondering if I might get a heartbeat and think maybe!

So I just came across this article from Huffington Post, and thought it would be good to share Something to keep in mind for us first time moms and already moms!

Aww sweet article! Yup I get pro pics made a couple times a year bc I know I am mostly the one taking the pics!

Congrats Runlikeagirl!! I'm glad you had your appt and were able to see the heart beat ^_^ That's always a great relief...

My appt isn't until next Thursday, I can't wait ^_^

My app is next thurs too!!! Yay!! But it will be my second ultrasound I'll be 9 weeks 5 days! I'm soo excited and nervous... How are you feeling?

I'm extremely nervous too. We had an u/s done around 5 weeks but I saw NOTHING, I was so upset, the lady wouldn't let me look DH got to see though and I've been throwing ultrasounds at him ever since yelling "Is this what you saw!?" I'm scared about having another blighted ovum I had one just before my daughter and everytime I get pregnant now, I'm afraid of seeing it again. I had all the symptoms of pregnancy, no bleeding, everything seemed great until they couldn't find a heart beat or a baby and told me to have a D&E.

After comparing u/s with DH I'm sure he saw a little bean in there, but because I didn't see it, I'm off the wall about it

Oh man yeah I want to see the u/s!! Sucks they wouldn't let you see!!! But yeah 5 weeks is really early... you'll get a better look next time!

Hello and welcome to the recent new mothers-to-be!

Off the see my GP today, I think I have got hypertension :/ Sucks!

On a lighter note, my embryo is a fetus today! 9 weeks

Well my blood pressure is fine so I guess I just need to rest more

Is that what can cause hypertension? High blood pressure? Were you feeling dizzy or what was your symptoms for getting checked out? I find I have to sit if I try to walk around a bunch because I get dizzy!

Well I'm chuffed! At work but not felt sick all morning! Not even wearing my seabands!

Same here! Well, I don't know what chuffed means! But no symptoms!

Wow must be an anti sickness day all round as I'm feeling not bad too! Although exhausted!

Libby - dizziness and feeling faint can be low blood pressure. Mine tends to be on the low side and I'm often dizzy

Ok interesting. I had read we had increased blood flow right now, that's why bbs and stuff are more sensitive... wonder if that can accompany low blood pressure or those are the opposite?? I've been craving red meat a lot, so wondered if it was iron. I am eating beef every night!

 

[Sass827]

Oh Hann! I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope it doesn't cause you too much pain. I imagine being in a wheelchair while trying to take care of DD would be almost impossible!

I'm not feeling ice today either. I havent felt too sick in two weeks. Just tired, gassy, pimply, burly, etc. You don't think there's something wrong, do you? My mom keeps saying she's shocked I haven't puked once, and it's making me scared.

 

[Hann12]

No every pregnancy is different so you can't compare what you are going through with your mum. You have other symptoms. I am amazed I'm not more sick but it's a good thing because I can eat better and look after my DD. Hopefully we are just having nicer pregnancies!! I still have points in the day of feeling sick but eating is stopping it. But I am convinced it's a boy because of my lesser sickness.

I've been worried about the same thing in the last few days. My boobs aren't near as hard, swollen or sore. And I haven't been near as nauseous! I did puke the other day because I was so hungry but that's it in the last like week. Kinda freaking out! Specially since I can't see my OB til the beginning of next month due to picking the wrong medicaid and having to wait til it can switch :/

Could also be iron - if you don't already then take a supplement

Powell: My nausea has camled down a bit too. I have read on here other ladies that nausea seems to go away and then returns in a few days. My boobs have not been sore this pregnancy so I do not know about that, but my nipples are really big...sorry tmi.

Wow! A lot has happened on here since my last post!

Hann - That sounds terrible. I feel like my hips and tailbone hurt enough later in pregnancy... I hope it's not too bad for you this time! Did it affect you in your pregnancy with your daughter?

Pro - congrats on 9 weeks! Yay! A fetus! And I've had the shortness of breath thing too. I just find myself needing to force myself to take a really deep breath every few minutes to feel like I'm getting enough oxygen. I just figured it was another pregnancy symptom, but I'm glad you don't have hypertension!

Aeris - I have a scan next Wednesday and truth be told, I'm terrified. I'll be 8w5d and I'm so worried that the lovely heartbeat we saw last week won't be there anymore. I'm trying to be positive, but it's hard after two losses and a chemical! How annoying they wouldn't let you look at the screen during your scan, but at least DH saw it. You'll see a lovely little gummy bear at your next scan... I know it! I'll be thinking of you and hoping this next week passes quickly for both of us!

Run - my DS' birthday is 5/14... a great day! Yay for seeing the heartbeat!

Hello to everyone else and welcome to the new May mommies!

Afm, my symptoms are still quite mild although I got up to go to the bathroom last night and my bb's were extremely sore. But they seem to be okay again this morning. My MS has been virtually non-existent after a few weeks of being nauseous. I'm not that tired anymore. I'm trying to enjoy feeling this good and normal, but it's all secretly freaking me out. Anyway, I'm trying to keep up my PMA! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

I'm glad I'm not the only one freaking out because of decreased symptoms!!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

My sickness has eased off today too if it stays away for the rest of day I shall be one happy lady, I'm actually looking forward to having a decent meal and enjoying it instead of wanting to throw up! Bbs aren't as bad today either but my nipples are itchy as hell, trying to to the subtly scratch but its making me look silly :hehe: x

 

[aknqtpie]

I'm finding that if I keep myself fed, I don't feel as sick. BBs are still sore, and I am tired. I'm usually out by 9 every night.

I have had the out of breath thing too... I was hauling a thing if laundry upstairs and I had to take a break before folding them because I was so out of breath.. :-/.

 

[pinktiara]

I feel so much more normal not as tired not as nauseous I love when these days come lol my boobs still hurt but that's about it. It's funny though I have done this all before it still worrys me.

 

[Hann12]

I still don't have sore boobs!! I'm the same though, sickness is only there if I don't eat. Today has been pretty good. I'm permanently exhausted though! Not got any other symtoms either as my skin has even cleared up a bit now. I have a scan at 9+1 which will be nice because it will hopefully put my mind at rest that everything is okay still - I hope!!
8 weeks tomorrow yay!

I love having ultrasounds, they're so reassuring! I wish I could have one every few weeks. I can't even see my doc again til 13 weeks. Will I be too late for the downs screening?

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Think you can still get the downs screening up until 15 weeks x
