FEBRUARY HEARTS Due in February 2015 , open group all welcome!

When I rang the mw on Friday to say I was still spotting she suggested I take a test in a couple of days just to check as epu wouldn't scan again this soon after my last. Bought a cb digi today and got this lovely result. Not that I really needed it because I've been sick as a dog today but it was still nice to see :)

Glad to see some good news on here for the ladies that have had scares. Positive thoughts for those that are still trying to sort things out.

I'm finishing up week 6 and am feeling so much nausea! I have this constant battle of feeling like I'm starving mixed with nothing sounding good and fighting off the gagging impulse every time I try to swallow. It's pure misery. I wake up at least 3-4 times a night to pee, and each morning I'm awake by 6 a.m. and can't fall back asleep. There are some definite body changes that are quite intimidating to a first-timer. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to manage the nausea at work. I've been using sea bands, but it's hard to tell if they actually work. I think I'm finally going to call the doc to schedule my first appointment.
 
Glad you are feeling better Katie xx

Babyfeva hoping you are ok hun xx

Thanks Maise but I'm still bleeding red. Like a period. I guess I just need to hear the words to confirm it. I feel so numb. Two losses in a row sucks! I don't know if I can try again.
 
So sorry babyfever.

peppermint tea is settling my tummy today xx
 
Sending lots of love and positive vibes to all the ladies going through hard times right now.

Love reading everyone's posts here even if I don't reply to any of them, feels nice to be connected with so many women going through exactly the same thing!

Guys...OH is home tomorrow!! I'm quite surprised I managed to keep my mouth shut for so long!

Lots of nausea for me, slight loss of appetite too. Going to get in contact with a midwife today!
 
Good job Captain, that's impressive! Let us know how the announcement to OH goes :)

Does anyone else find that they are smelling rotten things very easily? I guess it's our natural instinct to protect our baby by not eating something that is rotten. Weird.

Christina- yes I'm in the US, and also I'm in the military here so the health insurance is really good... thank goodness. It would be really hard to wait for a scan until 12 weeks but I guess without any bleeding or warning signs, it's wouldn't be too bad. I am about 5 weeks 1 day right now, and I haven't had any bleeding yet, but I know it can happen at any point and I'm constantly worried about it. On the other hand I have confidence that this pregnancy will go well. I have a good feeling about it.

I'm with you ladies who are bloated, I look more than 1 month pregnant, but I guess that is pretty normal. I can't wait til the baby is the reason I'm fat, and not just bloat. Seeing as my baby is the size of a sesame seed right now... lol.

I agree, I love reading all these posts even if I can't reply to all, it's so comforting to see how everyone else is doing around the same time as me :)
 
Captain that's great! So soon!! :)

Babyfeva, thinking of you. Is your doctor seeing you today? :hugs:
 
I need some serious energy, I'm done in and there are still hours of today to go. gotta get onto dinner in a min but really struggling. got heaps of housework to do too though DH did clean the kitchen and do dishes this morning
 
This day is lasting forever isn't it lynnikins! I feel awful awful awful. I really can only compare it to having drunk vodka and cider and wine the night before, I need my bed! I've put frozen on for DD now so sitting down to read the thread. I met up with my best friend and her 15mo at whipsnade zoo on Saturday and turns out she's pregnant too! We were just waiting to tell each other in person. She's 8 Weeks and had her booking today, had to take her child to the hospital and it took 3 hours!! Hard work with a 15mo! Plus she had a breech presentation elcs last time and they just said you'll be doing vbac and you'll be high risk. No discussion, no talking, just told. She's mega stressed now because she wasn't expecting that, just wanted to talk it through. I feel so lucky, my booking appt will be at my home scheduled for Saturday 5th and my dh is around. So different!
 
I went to the toilet earlier and when I wiped there was a spot of light red blood but since then nothing. Should I be worried? I went to the docs earlier for a referral for an early scan so should hear something back soon. Bit nervous /:
 
Sorry i haven't replied to everyone. Shamz, try to not panic too much. I was having light pink last week with dots of red and everything is ok. If you're cramping then maybe it's a little more concerning, but as of now it sounds ok. I know just how you feel though as my stomach was just sinking last week. :hugs:
 
Shamz don't worry about such a tiny amount it's completely normal to get spotting at 5 weeks.

Oh ladies Yes it has been a completely exhausting day. I slept well, ds woke at 8 and we chilled til just after 9. I had to get dh to do the dishwasher as I couldn't do it without being sick.
We went and did some invoicing and stuff at the office which ended up taking up most of the day. We did a mini trip in tesco and I felt ill so I had to sit down.
We are having sausage casserole so at least that's an easy dinner and we are having it with bread so I can sit and chill.
I'm glad dh has this week off! Xx
 
So sorry that some of you are bleeding and potentially facing bad news. :( Just know that while bleeding isn't a good sign, nothing is confirmed until you get an ultrasound or check your HCG levels. Some women bleed throughout pregnancy for other reasons and end up having perfectly healthy babies. Fingers crossed.

captain, let us know how your OH reacts! :) If you're in Vancouver and looking for midwives, I'm happy to tell you what I know about the various groups in the area. I'm a birth doula and prospective student midwive, so I know a bit about the various midwives in the area. (Some of them are fabulous, absolutely phenomenal -- some are not so great, and it also depends on what you're looking for.)
 
Thanks for the help ladies..

Not having any cramps at all and have felt horrible today with morning sickness so hopefully nothing to worry about x
 
I've been having awful morning sickness, does anyone have any tips? with my first I didn't have any morning sickness, with this one I'm being sick 3-5x times a day, and dry heaving more times then I can count :(
 
EPU called and have booked me a scan for the 5th. I'll be 7+4. Feeling relieved that I can have an early scan done. Got my birthday to look forward to this week then going on holiday, back on the 4th then scan on the 5th. Hopefully time goes fast :)

I'm terrified that I'll wake up tomorrow and be bleeding a lot :( That spot of blood has made me terrified!!
