Wow I'm really going to have to hire an assisantt to keep up and update this thread for me when I have busy days!!
So anxious - Strangely, I'm finding this exhaustion so much harder to deal with than newborn, sleepless nights exhaustion! Dunno if the difference of actually having a baby to keep my eye on constantly and who's cluster feeding for the majority of the day is something to do with it or not! I'll manage either way. Getting an old hand at this baby business now
for those of you who were pregnant before- when did you start getting cravings? my guess is 2nd tri?
i'm worried about how those will be- because i crave foods pretty bad as it is (one of those things that usually changes with my cycle). Right now all I want is pizza. not just any pizza- greasy pizza that you have to fold in half or eat with a fork / knife.... (but if I eat that now, I'll be suffering in a few hours- I get horrible heartburn early pregnancy. and gas and bloating. sigh.)
god help my husband (and me) if this bean sticks a few more months, and I find out what real cravings are!
I got cravings around the beginning of second tri I think with both daughters. Luckily it was only ever ice, bottled water and a wedge of lemon to go with! I've already started salivating over the idea of drinking that all though, so maybe I, getting the same craving and it's coming earlier this time!?
I'm leaving you ladies! My little baby grew wings on Monday. Xx
So sorry to hear this hun
take care of yourself xx
Hi there
I'm due around 16th Jan xx
Welcome and congrats!
I've started to miscarry, bleeding started a few hours about and already in so much pain.
You all made me feel welcome in the short time I was here, thanks for that. we are no longer going to pursue pregnancy but I wish all of you the best for the future.
I'm so sorry Miss Zoie
I hope you get a bfp soon xx
Just peeking in and saying hello!
Every time I got morning sickness it was just nausea. Like when you have the flu and need to vomit. Other than that it was just an "off" feeling.
My 1st scan is tomorrow. Soooooo. Nervous. My bp keeps sky rocketing and putting me on the verge of a panic attack.
And I can't wear my pants. :-/ I've gained no weight but my pants don't fit. How's this even possible!?!
I've downgraded to stretchy leggings now, the bloat that's going on is just ridiculous!
Had my dr.'s appointment today, everything was fine. I am to get my bloods done and an u/s at around 10-12 weeks. Thus the waiting game begins!
Roll on Thursday!
Well my HCG doubled to 227. My progesterone is kind of low at 8 but she said it's okay. I have an ultrasound on Monday at 9:30. If there is anything there then I'll get progesterone supplements and have a repeat ultrasound in a week or two. I'm not getting my hopes up though until I see a baby. So for a crazy rollercoaster timeline:
May 2 - BFP
May 4 - Spotting
May 5 - Beta at 20
May 7 - Beta at 22. Was told to expect miscarriage.
May 9 - Beta at 20.9. Was told 100% miscarriage.
May 11 - Beta at 41. Still thought to be miscarriage.
May 12 - Ultrasound showed nothing other than a very thick uterine lining. Discussed options and scheduled a uterine lining biopsy to make sure the pregnancy wasn't ectopic or in an unknown location.
May 13 - Beta came back at 111. It had almost tripled and my doctors were baffled. No idea what's going on.
May 15 - Beta is at 227.
May 19 - Next ultrasound
Wow Shilo, what a roller coaster indeed
I still have everything crossed that your bean is a fighter and is holding on to stay x
I'm due Jan 16th! Hooray!
Welcome and congrats!
I'm so bloated I wore my maternity pants to a conference today. TIM ALERT:anyone else having bad diarrhea. My stomach cramps so bad I think I'm having a miscarriage, but no bleeding-just diarrhea. I have no other symptoms. I sometimes wonder if I'm really pregnant.
I go from struggling with bowel movements to having to rush off to the loo at a seconds notice
no idea what's going on with my body!
Hello ladies, I had a little scare tonight but it ended up turning out really well in the end. I noticed a tiny bit of spotting, it was pinkish and it only showed up a tiny bit on the toilet paper (not in my pantyliner which I wear them every day). Anyway, naturally I got really upset. So I first started with my doctor who never returned my call, then I called a few other places and only 1 doctor called me back. When i talked to him on the phone he was really nice at first, he sounded concerned but he also kept sounding like I was doomed. After he found out I was not a patient of his (or rather a patient of the place he works at) he started to act really rude. Saying things like "then why are you calling me then?". It made me so upset that a doctor would be so insensitive to me when I all I wanted was professional advice. He suggested that I not go to the ER since "there is nothing they can do" already dooming me as if im having a miscarriage. Well shortly after I got off the phone with him I decided to go to the ER anyway. Turns out it was a great choice! I am not having a miscarriage after all. I got to see how far along I am and it was around 7 weeks, so right on track! I also got to know that there is a baby, and my little bean has a heartbeat!! The heartbeat was 140. The doctor was a female and she was very nice (in the ER room). She told me that spotting in the first trimester is considered "threatened miscarriage", but that a lot of woman have it and go on to have happy healthy babies! She also was able to do blood work and check my cervix. Everything looked great! It's too bad they could not let me hear anything or see anything since it was the Emergency Room but at least I got to know the numbers when the doctor came in to give me the results. I also found out that I seem to have a weird blood type (O positive). Which I never knew about till just now. Either way, my baby is healthy, I am healthy, and everything seems to be going great! Just thought I would share this wonderful news with you wonderful ladies. xx
Oh and in about 7-8 hours from now I will be at my real doctors appointment and hopefully this time I can see some pictures and get more information on my baby!!
OMG kiwi, how rude of that doctor. That's totally disgusting, I hope you can put in some sort of complaint about his terrible attitude. I guess you get rude and awful doctors everywhere but here in the UK our health care is automatically free (paid by worker's taxes) so I'd hit the roof if any doctor spoke to me like that, all because he personally wasn't getting my money direct! It makes you wonder how some of these arseholes decided to get into this profession to start off with
anyway, I'm so glad all is well with your little bean
x
How scary but I'm glad it worked out well for you kiwi
I had my booking in appointment yesterday
5 weeks until next midwife appointment and it seems so far away. I'm really trying hard to persuade husband to let us have a private early scan.
Still have no pregnancy symptoms but have a rotten cold
Rotten colds are a great pregnancy symptom! Ok they're not actually great to have
but it's still a symptom, take it!
how far gone are the ones without tickers with symptoms?
x
How do you get tickers? Lol
Click on a ticker and it'll redirect you to the site to make your own
pop in your EDD, it'll give you the link to your personal one to put in your BnB signature (you want to choose the UBB code
).
Sorry if I missed anyone again
catching up on nearly 13 pages is not easy!

im gonna leave this page.. devastated!!
