Due In May :)

[Jary]

Well I was going to go out to buy some Halloween decorations but baby has decided to make me feel yuck

So looks like I'm stuck in the flat feeling sorry for myself lol

 

[prolifer]

So many about to announce! I've only told a very close family friend and my doctor, as well as my chiropractor but nobody else knows except for DH and the kids ^^

I am STILL coughing, my ear STILL hurts and I've now taken 8 anti-biotics capsules!

I tossed up my lunch and some of it was very bright green so I think it was the capsule, 3 hours after I took it so I hope it's all still fighting these infections off. I don't feel nauseated because I am too focused on the coughing and the pain, so I have to be careful not to accidentally puke during a coughing fit!

Goodnight all, going to attempt to sleep (haha) I've already kept my little girl up all night with my barking and she has school tomorrow

prolifer - I'm so sorry you're still not feeling well, with all that coughing, have you tried cough drops? I know cough medicine is out of the question right now but having a flew cough drops I was always told was okay

Hann - I hope you get your scan soon! Week 10 usually is the norm for offices to get you in to do a scan, a friend of mine's doctor however has a policy of waiting until 16 weeks! I think I'd go crazy waiting. Could they send you away with a lab paper for a scan somewhere else? That way you don't have to wait?

Jary - I don't blame you for waiting for a scan, a lot of people don't even notice the annoucements unless there's a picture to go with it! Then they're like "Oh!" and they have to say something lol

Stevensmummyx - You have some willpower there! lol There's no way I could hold back from my parents from my BFP, well... I waited like 3 days to tell my father but I called my mother within the hour... mostly because of her knowledge in the medical world, I don't know what I'd do right now if she wasn't with me threw all this.
You should get an accurate date at 10+5 weeks, they measure Crown to Rump and based on how big your little bean is, is how far they think you're along and therefore, what your due date is!

 

[Hann12]

Jary I'm with you on the feeling yuck! I feel so nauseous as ever!!

DH has a cold and I'm trying to be sympathetic but it's hard when I also have a cold, feel exhausted and am throwing up! I feel bad for him as he is working but he can also take all the good medicines that actually do something whereas I can't! So my sympathy level is pretty low lol! He is coming home early from work anyway as he feels that bad. Must try and be sympathetic!

Still got the annoying workmen here, they were meant to finish up this morning but they are still doing last minute stuff! I desperately want them to clear off so j can have a nap as DD has been asleep 35 mins already. If I'm lucky she'll do another 45 and I would love to sleep through that but I need them to go first! It's not looking very likely! I know that they will leave just as she's waking up! I miss my naps!

So I though my dr did scans at 11 weeks, but when I called to schedule, they said it had to be 11 + 1 and they say I'm not til Saturday, so no scan til Monday for me. Once the scan results are back, were telling everyone and posting a pic on fb of me in that pregnant skeleton shirt and DH in a matching shirt w beer and pizza where the lo is on my shirt. so stinking excited. Now just to get through this weekend without anyone guessing....
Hope you all feel better soon. Hann - I cannot believe those guys are still at your house. I hoe you're not paying them by the hour!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Pro you can't take simple linctus cough medicine xx

 

[AerisandAlex]

Sass827 - Wow, that would annoy me, just 1 day difference and they won't do it? Ugh lol, but that picture sounds really cute! I need to get my DH one of those shirts, sounds like something he'd wear all the time lol His friends already joke with him that he must be 6 months along! lol

Wow is it hard to get a second opinion without getting your original doctor involved! I really don't want to upset her as she's been my doctor for ever and I've never questioned her before now so I was hoping to get a second opinion without telling her!

I called one doc who refused to do it without her consent and another who doesn't 'do' second opinions, but they were listed on my insurance as doing such things so I don't understand... I was actually a bit more forceful with the second one though as they're very close to where I live and have a number of doctors in the same office, all which are great... After talking to the nurse and consulting with a doctor, they agreed to at least let me bring up my ER results to them so they could look over them and they wrote down my story lol (Apparently it got around too as I walked up to the main girl and tried to explain a little bit and she's like "Oh! You talked to Pam!" lol) They made copies of the paperwork and said they'll call me this afternoon... I hope they have better idea of the situation and what I should do

Such a cute idea!! I can't wait to announce on FB. I think we're going to wait til after the NT test and use that US pic or something more clever. I've considered waiting until we find out gender. A friend of mine did that and revealed gender and announced on FB at the same time! But I don't think I can wait that long haha

 

[prolifer]

I am going to see my doctor AGAIN this morning, I just can't stop coughing and it's driving me nuts! My poor throat feels shredded by now, I've been sucking on butter menthols but they only stop my throat from hurting and they don't stop me from coughing at all.

I feel soooooo exhausted and my stupid nose won't stop being all stuffy and runny :/ My kids have a birthday party to go to tomorrow and if I'm not better by then, DH will have to take them and he hates doing things like that but I can't just go spreading this around, wouldn't wish it on anyone ugh

I am really happy to catch up with you guys and see what's happening Takes my mind off things for a while.

 

[Powell130]

I hope you get to feeling better Pro!!!

 

[Sass827]

Any new news AnA? Did the doctor give you anything else pro?

Question for you Powell- are you hocking up loogies? I do every day and I'm wondering if it's still from quitting smoking? It's been over 2 months! And it makes me gag.

 

[prolifer]

Thanks, doc said the anti-biotics should clear everything up by the time the packet is empty, but just in case, she gave me another prescription to get some more if needed.

My ear doesn't hurt so much but she said it's still full of wet gunk so have to wait for that to drain off before it can unblock I guess. Cough is still persistent, still sucking butter menthols for that but they make everything else taste awful!

She said I will have to see someone every month, so I went with my specialist and that way I will get to see bub every 4 weeks hehe I always get a scan when I see him, I think he just loves to watch them ^^

 

[JustFluffy]

Sass, I quit smoking four and a half years ago and have the same problem with hocking up loogies. I went to my doctor a few months after and she said it would go away in about 6 months. Well, seriously 4.5 years later and I am still doing it. I even went to an ear nose and throat doctor and he pretty much said there is nothing wrong with me, I just have to deal with it and not let it ruin my life. Seriously, his exact words. Blah.

 

[Sass827]

Blah! Thanks for the info. Stinks big time. It really gets me in the mornings though. I'm already on edge and it almost pushes me over!

 

[Starry Night]

I'm not a smoker but I have a horrible cold and I'm so full of phlegm that my throat is just stuffed full of loogies. I've thrown up twice from them and have nearly barfed many times since from them. DS crawled in on me the one time but I was so busy barfing I couldn't close the door and he started to bawl. Once I finished it took me forever to get him to calm down.

My m/s is really picking up. I feel so wretched a good chunk of the day. The cold only makes it worse. I can only control the nausea by constantly eating and it has to be salty foods. I'm going to be one tub o'lard by the time baby comes (if it does)

I've been caughing them up. For some reason, when quitting smoking, it almost gets worse before it gets better, physically. I had trouble breathing at first! Lol

 

[eggo preggo]

Guess it depends on how much you used to smoke, i was smoking up to 5 a day before pregnancy and when i quit no physical effect apart from the obvious cravings.

Yay 10 weeks today! cant wait for scan on wednesday, then i can spill the beans

 

[Powell130]

Probably. I had been smoking for about 7-9 years, about a pack a day. Only recently had cut back to only hitting hubs cig a few times when he'd be smoking one

 

[Hann12]

Happy 10 weeks eggo, Stevensmummy, Jary and to me!!!

Thought about announcing but not going to after all as I saw a girl this morning who had a scan at 8 weeks and saw a hb but then miscarried at around 10 weeks but didn't know until she went for her 12 weeks scan, so that's made me nervous so going to wait for my 12 week whenever that may be! I hate scary stories like that. I don't understand how they say the statistic for mc is 1.5% after week 9 if you have seen a hb but yet loads of people still seem to. I'd say that being on bnb makes you more aware of things bad happening but this was a girl I met round here so I can't even say its bnb!

Just keep repeating the thought that hopefully everything will be fine!! For all of us!

 

[Powell130]

I think the majority of women that has happened to post on BnB or similar websites so we hear probably the majority of those cases. But not everyone always posts about how good their pregnancy is going. So I think you're right, we're more aware of the bad stories.

That being said, I have thought about the same things. Which is partly why we haven't done the FB announcement yet!

Oh, if any of you ladies plan on wearing baby. I got a code in my email for a free carrier from sevenslings. com, you only have to pay shipping. If any of you are interested I'll pass it along!

Just ordered my pink Sonoline B 3mhz! I'm so exited and can't wait to hear baby's heartbeat!!

I'm about to watch What To Expect When You're Expecting. Anyone seen it? A lot of it was filmed right around where I live which is cool!
