The Facebook group has gone secret, so if anyone wants the link or an add, send me a PM or add me to Facebook, Brandi Nunes...it's my son as a newborn. Also, let me know if you've sent me a request cuz I don't usually add people I don't know. My ex likes to send his friends or make fake accounts to gain access to mine, so I'm a bit cautious

Early scan ladies......I am having one tomorrow, will be 6w 4days approx. I think last time when I was around the same (just short of 7 weeks) they managed to do an abdominal scan.

I have checked hospital epu guidance and they say before 10 week likely an internal (bleeurgh). So my question is likely internal? Will they try an abdominal first? If so should I do the whole drinking a pint or water an hour before so I have a full bladder?

My dr didn't even attempt an abdominal at 6+2. He just went straight for the internal. Check with the hospital and see what they say.

I think I will go with full bladder as easier to empty it than fill it when I get there....no worries. Thanks all

 

[Anotherbbypls]

Just a quick question ..... How are you ladies getting early scans???? Are you I'm the UK?

I'm 7w0d today and feeling very very very unwell. I would like a scan to see if I'm further or whatnot and just some general reassurance from it

Random share of the day. I sneezed and omg round ligament pain already. Owwww!!

This happened to me the other day. I was laying in bed, sneezed and the pain actually made me cry out. This was last week though so I'm going to go with normal since we've seen the baby since then. I don't remember having round ligament paid with DS until almost the second trimester!!

So apparently I'm twice as emotional and irrational this time around than last time. It may have been an unsafe thing to say but on reflection later I think he may be right Poor family. I feel like a crazy person half the time. Just bawling as I cleaned the kitchen lol. Going to say this is my main symptom now ha.

That is my main symptom right now too. I'm surprised my boss hasn't said something to me about it because some of our carriers are really pissing me off and I've been bit snippy with them. I mean, I'm not going around calling them morons like I really want to but I am normally super sweet to our carriers so it's definitely out of the norm for me to snap at them.

Well all week my morning (*ahem* all day!!) sickness has been ramping up and up and up... until today when I finally listened to my cravings for meat. Apparently my miracle cure is bacon sandwiches... I can live with that

I think this is one of the reasons why I don't have any morning sickness. I give in to my cravings. My biggest one right now is meat too. I'm eating a meatball sandwich for lunch right now. Plus, I normally eat the second I start getting hungry because I know that hunger can trigger MS.

6 wks today! We told my family on Sunday. Feels so good to let the cat out of the bag. Haven't scheduled a first appointment yet, we're on vacation so I will probably try to schedule when we get back. Is the first appointment something I should take DH to? He wants to hear the HB but I thought the first appointment might be kind of lengthy.

I think it's pretty normal to do an US at the first appointment is the US, especially if your are over 6 weeks. I know I had one at my first appointment.

My doctor didn't even try to do an external ultrasound. She went straight for internal. However, I did tell her that I have a tilted uterus so she knew it wasn't likely to get it on the external US.

I'm in the US. Over here, it's standard to do a dating ultrasound at 7 to 8 weeks.

I have to laugh that we've all very quickly gone from wishing we had more symptoms to feeling like absolute garbage! Six weeks really is that magical number. My current issue is that I will be hungry, but nothing sounds good. After running through 1 million options for dinner last night, DH finally took me to a barbecue restaurant because the only thing that sounded halfway decent was ribs...super weird for me.

I've also been sleeping like a person with narcolepsy. Hubby is out of town for the next day and a half at work though, so I will have to man up and actually do things with my toddler...I will definitely be taking a nap alongside her this afternoon!

Is anyone having any premonitions or dreams yet about what they might be having? I haven't had any dreams, but just get the feeling that this one is a boy. DH thinks it'll be another girl. Strangely enough, I'd prefer another girl and he'd prefer a boy!

I was really hoping that this wasn't true.
I'm 6 weeks today and I think the nausea is slowing starting.. Food is so unappealing. I forced myself to eat some cereal and an apple for breakfast, but now I just feel bleh.

 

[sausages]

I'm a bit late joining the party I think?
I'm expecting our 8th baby around 10th Feb 😊
Been feeling pretty rubbish with Hyperemedis Gravidarum, but the sickness tablets from Dr are helping. Hoping for an uneventful few months for us all x

Welcome to the thread hun and congratulations. Sorry you're feeling sick, I hope it passes in a few weeks. x

I've booked a private scan through Babybond at Mothercare in York. It will cost £99, but it's worth it. I go two weeks today. I CANNOT WAIT!!!



I've also had crazy round ligament pain too. I am sure it didn't come this early last time. That makes me wonder if it's maybe to do with my c-section scarring. Sometimes when i'm not pregnant I sneeze or move funny and i get a sharp pain.

I was at a funeral this morning. A friend of mine committed suicide a couple of weeks ago - awful, awful thing. She was SO intelligent and had such a bright future - was getting married in August. She was only 31. Depression is an awful disease.

I think this is something our health service need to get on top of.!

Just to add a symptom to my massive list.... My mouth and everything that goes in it tastes like metal. It's minging

 

[Anotherbbypls]

Brandi I'd like to add you. Note I'm keeping my pregnancy a secret though !

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Of course!!!

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, sausages.

I get early ultrasounds because I have a history of miscarriages, and I had a tubal reversal. I'm at a higher risk for ectopic pregnancies and the earlier they are caught, the better

I wish I could get an early scan.. But we can't even do them privately here unless you're already under doctor or midwife care. So I'm going to have to just wait until 12 weeks, if they even do that U/S on me.
FI and I have decided that we will be paying for a private gender scan though. More then likely the week before our wedding, when I'll be 18 weeks. Finding out the gender, then getting married, then going away on our honeymoon. I can't wait.


I am so sorry about your friend. Depression is terrible.

I saw a cute gender reveal the other day where they cut into their wedding cake the the color inside told them what they were having.

I'm currently living in Saudi Arabia and they generally do an ultrasound at every visit. All visits are with an obstetrician, not with a midwife. My health insurance over here covers every ultrasound so the doctors just send us for them because they can. I'm hoping to have one tomorrow to see if we can figure out what this nagging pain is that I'm having in my right lower pelvis. I hope it's nothing to worry about.
