Glad u r doing better lian!
I think That is a good sign that bleeding has stopped. Just continue to rest!

Hope ur feeling better after being poorly last week live!

Heather, I had a scan at around 7+3 and seen heartbeat but I know some don't at that early! Good luck!

Hope all u girls with backache and headaches feel better soon! This warm weather doesn't help but its lovely to see!

Lucy; glad things have settled for u!
Sal; glad ur in with parents and hope time goes quickly!

I'm getting an early night. Hubby out and I am working all weekend!

I am so nauseous!!!! ARGH! hahaha I hope this goes away as fast as it came on! Next week is my first ultra sound! I will be just shy of 7 weeks! Will I be able to hear the heart beat by then????

My nausea hit at 6 weeks, then died down a bit at 7 weeks (was more off and on and manageable), but now it has picked back up now that I'm 9 weeks. SO ready for the second tri! LOL!

Yes you should definitely be able to hear a heartbeat by almost 7 weeks! It is the best feeling in the world!

Girls! sorry I've been MIA! I've been so sick and exhausted...sick with all day nausea! But I took some Zofran and have been feeling a little better.
I finally told my parents and they are sooo excited!! I thought they would be mad or something Tomorrow I tell my in laws and then the rest of the world will know...which wasn't my plan but it is what it is now...It'll be my parent's first grandchild And my mom said she'll be staying a month with me after the baby is born, i'm sooo excited!!

Glad to hear that Lucy and Lian are doing well!!

Hi ladies, hope everyone is ok? Sorry I haven't been on in so long, been so busy and have been napping when Alex does as he's been waking at 6am lately! I have my booking appointment with the midwife on Tuesday, and we're selling our sofas, someone's coming to look today, my OH said if they're gone by Tuesday the midwife will be sitting on a deck chair on Tuesday lol, oh well. Also got Alex's appointment the same day at the children's outpatients where we will be starting to wean him off his epilepsy medication!

Why does 1st tri seem to go quite quick but the weeks feel like they are dragging by? My OH is going to combat stress for 2 weeks a week on Tuesday and then the day after we are back we have the scan, I'm not sure if them 2 weeks will go slow or fast? My sister is staying with me and Alex so I'm not totally alone and well probably spend a couple nights at my mums too.

Well it's a nice day here in Wrexham so I'm gona get ready to go up to my mums and get the paddling pool out for Alex x

So glad to hear things seem to be okay, Lucy and Lian. FX it stays that way for both of you!

Re: aches, I've had a headache the last couple evenings, thankfully Tylenol helped. I also find my back/hips/legs start to get achy and uncomfortable if I'm in the same position for very long... Sitting through a two hour meeting has become very difficult!

Some info my mom passed on to me that I hadn't known, so maybe some of you didn't either: while we need to be extra careful with sun protection while pregnant, research has found some ill effects of sunscreen on the fetus--babies more likely to be underweight at birth. Specifically the type of sunscreen where you absorb the chemicals through your skin--the external ones like zinc are fine. So now I need to find some new sunscreen! Does anyone who already knew this have a brand they like?

Two more days until ultrasound... Not that I'm counting down the hours or anything.

Re: the sunscreen thing. I had heard this even separately from being pregnant, that most sunscreens work by being absorbed directly into the skin, and there are some nasty chemicals in them. Ideally you want one that legitimately blocks the rays. The old school zinc oxide (that is white on your skin) is supposed to be the best. However, MOST brands don't work that way at all. The easiest way to find zinc oxide sunscreen is to look at the "Baby" brands. I have a small bottle of Aveeno Baby which is pretty much straight up zinc oxide. It was pricier, so I don't let DH use it Hope that helps!

 

[Lucy529]

I have a question ..... Thinking back I just realized that my af would of been due the day I had the bleeding it felt exactly like my regular af, I haven't bleed since just a little brown that same afternoon do you guys think that my body just though I was suppose to get af? Am still nervous thinking that something might go wrong but holding on to hope any thoughts? Thanks ladies

That's a great tip--thanks!

I have definitely heard of women getting "breakthrough bleeding" when their AF would have been due--I don't think it's terribly uncommon. So it sounds totally reasonable to me that that could have been it!

 

[WhitheartsQ]

Hey girls! Glad to hear that for the most part everyone is doing well! Sorry to those with aches and ms, I hope they get better soon.

I had my scan yesterday. It went great! Hb was 172, and baby was measuring 2 days ahead. It all looks great! Couldn't be happier!

 

[new_to_ttc]

right back at you edd hope you are ok hun xxxxx

Lian and Lucy so glad babys are doing ok You both need to rest, especially you Lian If I can try instill a bit of confidence, my friend has had 'threanten miscarriage' on her notes since she was 8 weeks due to a very similar bleed - her baby is now 29wks+1... labour is imminant we know this, but on strict bedrest she is defying all the odds. It no longer says threatened miscarriage either Baby and blood clot are same size and he kicks the hell out of it causing problems but they are both ok... a few more days and she'll even get to deliver at her regular hospital instead of a specialist one Keep rested hun!!

Sorry some are suffering various aches and pains And MS seems to be kicking in all over

I had 2 days with minimal sickness but then it hit again yesterday like a brick was sooooooooo ill I also got this weird pain in my leg, in my thigh, quite central... if I didnt know better I would say its taken a kick or something its a very particular area, doesnt displace pain anywhere lse at all unlike an ache or cramp etc no bruises though very weird lol

Hope the UK ladies are enjoying the sun I missed most of it today as I had a special karate course, and I have karate again tomorrow - but in 2 weeks I take my grading and then I can start toning down my training. Special arrangemenst have been made for my grading so I wont receive any punches to my stomach, nor will have have to be thrown to the floor, phew! I do however have to complete all sections which include some twisting kicks etc

 

[Tezzy]

Think it's all over for me girls. Lots of brown blood today just like when I had my mc last year.

Will be back if all is ok but for now it's goodbye from me. Wishing you all the best for your pregnancies and hopin you have a happy and healthy 9 months and beyond x

 

[shellideaks]

Sorry to hear that Tezzy, I'll keep everything crossed that things are okay. Hope to hear from you soon. x

 

[ttcfurrever]

Hey ladies! :wave:
I'm so sorry for not posting for such a long time. I was quite poorly last week and have been so tired so just couldnt keep up with all the posts so I feel really out of it now!

I do hope you are all ok! Everything ok this end....touchwood, still no sickness and rarely get a little queasy now. I am quite tired alot though but as I am feeling better now, i am feeling better generally

I have my first MW appointment weds (9 weeks) and also a private scan in the evening that i booked when I first got my BFP so that'll be a good day! xxx

I hope that you have a great appointment

I am so nauseous!!!! ARGH! hahaha I hope this goes away as fast as it came on! Next week is my first ultra sound! I will be just shy of 7 weeks! Will I be able to hear the heart beat by then????

Sorry for the ms Heather. We all seem to be having it bad right now. I am so excited for you to see your little bean at your appointment

Thanks lucy, wrighty, ttcfurever..

Bleeding has stopped now, would that be a good thing? Havent seen blood in like 18 hours. I'm afraid still bleeding internally.

That's a very good sign Lian . When is your next appointment?

 

[ttcfurrever]

Oh Tezzy, I am so sorry . Have you spoken to the doctor? Please keep us updated.
