Hi Ladies,

Seem to be going through it a bit with this pregnancy! I've had some yellow discharge today not very much & then clear fluid even since & one point i thought the worst that my period had started as it was the exact feeling but nothing other than the clear fluid now ( sorry for tmi!)

Has anyone had this & all been ok worrying a little bit.

Waiting on a call from docs but probably won't get one until morning now.

Thanks x

Feel a bit symptomless this morning. Worried. Also know that poas would come up positive anyway due to hormones still there. On and off symptoms ok????

I'm hoping so. Mine fluctuate as well- the only thing that has been reliable is my sore breasts and even they aren't that sore this morning.

Ladies, I'm so worried about having a mc. This is my first pregnancy, and it took us 10 months to get to this point, so I would hate to lose it. I just feel like with so few symptoms and such an easy pregnancy so far, the symptoms could just go away and that's it.

Is there any way you can calm my fears?

Also, my first OB appointment isn't until June 30. Should I ask my clinic to move the date closer since I'm feeling this way?

Hey! I know exactly how you feel... my first daughter took 6 years to conceive, 2 of those years going through fertility treatment... all I wanted was to be sick as a dog, have all the symptoms and look 9 months pregnant imediately haha... well guess what... not even a drop of morning sickness the entire pregnancy, I felt like a million bucks and didn't start showing until like 5 months hah... my beautiful daughter is now 15 months old and the happiest, healthiest little bean!!... I hope my positive story helps!

Welcome beans mommy! So exciting that the later February due dates are joining

Mommy1506 I had quite a bit of clear discharge! No bleeding or anything though. That was 5 or 6 days ago.

 

[oox_tasha_xoo]

Hi ladies, how are you all? Iv been constant nausea, 24/7. Yet I'm ALWAYS hungry.
Scan next Tuesday, seen midwife yesterday, all go go go xx

 

[Mummy1506]

ajarvis - thanks for reply, no bleeding or anything here either so hoping its normal.

hi ladies!!!!!!

So sorry I've been mia!!! I've been thinking of you all... I hope all is well!!

Been so busy after dd birthday party and our friends are visiting from another state this week.

Had my scan today and met my new dr which i absolutely love!!! She was so thorough and spent an hour talking with us before the ultrasound . She said I can continue to bf dd through this pregnancy if I'd like, and she also said we could try vbac if this pregnancy goes well without complication (both things my old ob said no to) ... she was so thorough and reassuring , she upped my progesterone and put me on new type, so that was different .. but good..
Now the part that worried me, my scan we saw a pretty little bean with a beautiful heart beat but it was measuring 6+2, which is should be 6+5 by ovulation and 6+6 by lmp.. so naturally because of my mmc where baby was measuring 5 days behind I panicked, even though the dr said all is well and up to a week is normal ... she knew how worried I was so scheduled me another scan in 2 weeks, I can't wait .. I just want this little bean to be ok!!!!!

Anyway, I can't wait to see all the bfp start rolling in!!!!

Here is a pic of the scan and dd's birthday cake I made!!!!

I'm not an expert, pinkpassion, but I really think a few days of variation are normal, which is why we need to get the "aging" scans which give the more accurate EDD, as opposed to simply counting from OV? In any case, I really hope everything works out okay!

PS: Gotta love that cake! ^_^

Well I couldn't change my appointment because they're so booked up until the end of July, but we're just going to not let her brush off any questions or concerns. And then for future appointments we'll just try to avoid her. I don't know, maybe she's good during pregnancy but just doesn't know much about the ttc part.

Thanks for listening, ladies! And congrats on the good scans! I agree that any discharge or symptoms or lack of symptoms are fine at this stage. As long as there's not significant pain or bleeding, we should all be good for now.

 

[Feanorous]

Good morning! Can I join?? Just got my bfp yesterday after a loooooong journey! Feels beyond surreal!

My tentative due date is Feb. 22!

Welcome & congrats! I am due 20th, I think you are the closest to me - yay!

Just got my scan date... 21 July!!! I'll be 11 weeks. So excited now. Also terrified as I was talking to some ladies at playgroup today that have suffered miscarriages. I shouldn't have listened really. I'm sure everything will be fine. I think it's normal to be worried in pregnancy, I thought second time round I'd be less anxious but I'm not at all. Feel like a first timer all over again!

I was just thinking the same thing we
suppposed be relaxed and know what we doing. I feel like a first timer with all the worry.

I feel just the same and this is our second baby too!

 

[Feanorous]

I am so jealous of all the US ladies who get early scans

I can't decide whether to tell the doctor that i don't know the last date of my period (so they then might send me for an early scan) or to just pay the £100 to get a private one!

Really nothing in the way of symptoms. A little extra tired and slightly nauseous but I wonder if its all in my head because I want the symptoms lol.

Loving this group so far ladies, its great to think we'll all be on this long journey together and ya know how time flies - won't be long til we are posted birth stories and first pictures!

I've not been on here really today, I don't think!!

Slight cramping and slight nausea and I'll go from not hungry to hungry very quickly, and needing a wee quite often.

But the cramping and sickness etc goes on and off all day and I don't like it when it goes completely because it worries me.

I never thought I'd be thankful to feel sick and cramping hahaha.

How are you all??

I'm having a breakdown with my laptop. It's sooo slow and it's SO annoying LOL.
and I use google chrome and i have adblock on it but I'm still getting adverts - those shopping ones - and pop ups and it's really annoying me, because the internet is running ridiculously slow because of it. grrr.

Also, annoyed because I was telling OH I felt sick and I had cramping earlier and I took myself off to bed feeling crappy, and he was at his Nan's and he came back and now he's going out to his mates and I said can't he come down here, because I don't feel good and I'd just rather you were there, but he went anyway.
I know I'm being unreasonable and irrational but it annoyed me anyway haha

 

[Feanorous]

Oh and I kept meaning to tell you girls...

Now, stretch marks!! I did not get any, not one single thing last time and I swear it was down to the oil. I promised I would tell any pregnant lady who would listen about this.

You get 250ml of sweet almond oil, add 10 drops of mandarin essential oil and put it on once a day.

I first heard about this on here years ago actually, but then since read about it in a book called 'French Children dont throw food'. Turns out all french women use this!

Everyone I have recommended it to and used it have not got any stretch marks

Just wanted to share...obviously feel free to take it with a pinch of salt hehe

Eurggh men...they just don't get it! Just have a nice sleep and wake up feeling better in the morning. This won't be the last of the disagreements during pregnancy

Sounds like you have some adware on your laptop. You can download a free AVG trial that will scan your computer & remove any threats.

Is that similar to Bio Oil? That's what I have.. I used it on scars from an operation, and I remembered it being fantastic!

And thanks for laptop advice, I'll try that before I throw it out the window ;D haha

 

[sausages]

Welcome Quintea and Beans Mummy! Congratulations on your BFPs!

Feanorous, could you book an early scan? I have booked one with Babybond and it's at Mothercare in York. It's costing me £99, but it'll be worth it for peace of mind. I thought about faking bleeding, because I have had them in the past when i've been genuinely spotting early in pregnancy. I just can't bring myself to be so dishonest.

 

[mitchnorm]

Also going for an early scan.....babybond around us too or a place near Guildford. Dedibately worth it for me....piece of mind that's all

Fernorous...no stretch marks here....I can't remember putting anything on...maybe that Palmers cocoa butter when I remembered . Good tip though x

No bio oil is different, but I guess a similar thing. From what I remember if you buy those two oils separately it's only about £4-£5 per huge bottle where bio oil is quite expensive.

100% agree...I am struggling with even thinking about saying I don't know my dates! lol. It's my Mum, she keeps telling me I should make use of the NHS blah blah but honestly we can afford the private scan so I think we'll go down that route. I might even go and book it now

I cannot keep up in here.
