ok ladies, so Hubby and i havent BDd since we got our BFP. Im too scared too!! i dont want to cause myself to spot etc bc i know itll stress me out and freak me out. But iv been feeling so sexual and wanna hop in bed with hubby ASAP but im scared (i know it wont cause a MC, but im just afraid)

what do you guys do? Advice?

My ms has been so bad that I can barely move much less that ... however there have been several times when I get a break in the MS and DH and I go for it. If it wasn't for the nausea, I would probably jump him everyday! I haven't had any problems and there was one time that things were um ... not slow and rhythmic -- more like crazed wild animals.
I think you should do whatever makes you feel comfortable. If you don't feel comfortable with it, don't do it.

I have started to feel really turned against food. I have no desire to eat anything. Everything I was eating, now is so unappealing to me. I feel like I just want to drink water and not be bothered with anything else. I'm telling you this pregnancy has already been quite a ride. I've been sipping on peppermint tea and laying down in bed. I'm trying to hang in there. I know this doesn't last forever ... at least I hope not or I might lose all sanity.
Sorry to vent ladies. I just need to get it out ... I feel like I am going crazy.

I'm right there with you. Food just doesn't sound good at all. I've been watching food porn on television, hoping it would spark something, and its had the opposite effect, I just want to throw up. I've also been trying to exercise, but every time I have time and its been a while since I last ate, I fall asleep instead. Its my first pregnancy, so I have no comparison, but it certainly has been quite a ride.

If you're too scared, its probably going to be too hard for you to relax and enjoy it, but let me just say that in pregnancy, everything down there swells up and gets extra sensitive and it makes for some pretty amazing sex, which, isn't at all harmful for the pregnancy. But your peace of mind is very important, so like I said, if you're not comfortable, don't worry about it, that's just as bad as doing it and stressing about whether or not you caused harm. Avoiding stress is the best thing you can do for baby and yourself.

We haven't bd'd since we found out. We've been told by the EPU to not to until 12 weeks due to early complications and spotting. Plus I don't want to stress myself out any further. Today has been the first day where I've actually wanted to but hubby was at work. I think maybe after 12 weeks we will, maybe!

Anyone else on the emotional rollercoaster? I went to buy a Father's Day card for DH today and I started crying in the aisle reading the cards!!

DH and I have bd'ed once since finding out. It makes me a little nervous but I also just don't feel like it. I'd rather sit by myself in my own little cloud of grumpiness!!

I had my scan today and heard and saw the little heartbeat of 109! I measured at 6w4d. The nurse called back after the doctors reviewed it, she said they wanted to do another one to check the growth. I also had one last week on Thursday and the tech said that based on last scan, today things looked where they would expect them to be. I am excited to see the little peanut again in a week, but it worries me a little bit that they want to do another one. I am less then 7w and that will be my 3rd scan, just a little unusual. I still continue to have the occasional spotting and maybe that is why. In either case, I have to take one day at a time and see how things go, just can't worry too much. So overall, it has been a good day!

Wishing you all the best Summehope and already your little peanut looks sooo precious xx

Mamaofone: sorry you had a bad experience, that woman has some control issues, especially if you were crying during the process, what a horrible thing to go through. I am glad that you are going back and certainly hope that you get treated better this time around.

Jrowenj: I hope your spotting goes away, good news is that it is brown and maybe just some leftover after your pap. I know how worrying it can be, but they say it is pretty common.

Littlej: I wanted to google everything in the world and you are right, just need to stop, I have officially disconnected in that regard, my husband was right when he said, just let nature do its thing.

Shelbylc: I am always conscious of how I sit, how I get up, how I lay down, just can't help it. I wore maternity pants today and depending on how I sat, they even felt tight in certain places, but I am getting used to them. I just don't like anything pushing on it. It will probably be better once you start showing more and you can see where the baby is.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

We've had sex a few times since finding out and TBH it's fabulous! all the stress sex we had with TTC wasn't very romantic and sensual. Now i'm in the mood all the time and it's just so much fun to muck around and have a good decent shag! i think my first pregnancy we didn't have sex for months. This time we're at it all the time.

But one thing i learnt early on is that you can't compare your sex life to others, after i had Eva i don't think we had sex for MONTHS! and everyone on BnB was jumping into the sack straight after their 6 week check up, My friends who had babies had already started going at it like rabbits and i felt awful and like a crappy wife because i hadn't had sex once, i finally confided in a friend who breathed a sigh of releif that she was in the same boat. It felt better once i knew someone else was as least interested in sex as i was. I also realised that comparing my sex life to others is just going to make me feel uneccessarily bad, if i don't feel comfortable having sex then i don't feel comfortable having sex. nothing wrong with that.

i told Hubby usually for early scans they do it vaginally and he didnt like that idea. Hes like "lets just get the abdomen one" even tho i said you can see things alot better. He said he only wants "his man parts" going in that area especially with our baby in there... im like HAHAHAHAHA OMG what a FREAK!

i have a funny feeling he thinks anytime somthing goes up our "wahoos" we find it pleasuring.... little does he know....

It's the other way around for me and hubby i'm terrified of a transvaginal one. At my 12 weeks scan with pregnancy no.1 they had all these forms i had to sign and one was a transvaginal one and i was like "i'm not signing that" and she was like "it's just protocol, they probably wont scan you at all if you don't sign in" and i said "well i don't want it done ever so i'm not signing it" and my hubby stepped in and said "they aren't going to pin you to the bed and shove it up there yelling 'YOU SIGNED THE FORM' you can still say no once we're in there" hahahahahahahaha so i signed it but told them the second i walked in the door "NO TRANSVAGINAL ONE!!" my poor hubby just had to roll his eyes at me, he kept telling me that it's no big deal but i so badly don't want one.

well today i am trying sea bands to control the ms, plus i have a long ride in a car today and get travel sick any way! so far i think they are working, it doesnt stop me feeling completly sick, but its def not as bad , i can function a bit more. lets hope they work!

 

[mellywelly]

Hi everyone, off on a week's holiday with the in-laws today, hope all babies stay safe while we are away, think I will have a huge amount of posts to read when I get back. Might have to have s sneak on my phone!

 

[Poppy84]

[DeedeeBeester]

So much for sleeping in on a saturday... Thank you MS! :s !

Congrats Poppy and Summerhope !! How exiting to see the little HB flickering away.
Summerhope: I'm positive the rescan is just because you mentioned the spotting. Im sure everything will be right on track! ps. You nailed it right on with the control issues, she wouldn't listen to anything I was saying about dates etc, just kept saying well I am sorry you will just have to wait. You want this pregnancy right so there's no need for me to give you medication to end it or schedule a d&c just yet. Wait and see the growth next week. I never asked her to end it I simply asked for the transvaginal in order to compare the growth appropriately since last weeks transvaginal. I was appalled that she had said that. It was a very poor attempt at giving me hope, when I just wanted real true data.

Like briers said I remember when I was pregnant with DS the sex was amazing. And I was "on" all the time. Wanted it all day everyday lol. Even overdue at 41 weeks It just goes to show how every pregnancy is different. Since finding out this time we only had it maybe a handful of times. And certainly not in the past two weeks since I've started going for ultrasounds and having inconclusive results. Think dh thinks it will make things worse. Although Im not spotting or anything and I've kind of wanted to.

That's me this pregnancy. I've had a love/hate relationship with food. Mostly hate.

[Precious84]

i'm worried ladies... my hcg level 3 days ago was at 11k+ at 6 weeks 1 day. after two days, my hcg increased but was only measured at 14k+, an increase of less than 3,000.

the past two days have nothing but stressful at work for me. i recently resigned (just yesterday, effective immediately) due to the stress i felt during a peak day, standing all day and feeling a strain on my back and lower abdomen....

now my OB is asking for a repeat quantitative hcg test tomorrow. praying to God it increases at a better, higher rate than 3k.
