It went straight down the loo, along with my pre-natal vits. I must start taking the vits in the evening, as I can't risk losing them every morning like this.

Niki, try ditching the vits for now....just take Folic Acid. Vits at this stage can make MS worse, and honestly, for the next few weeks all you need is Folic Acid, I promise. Its something the doc told me to do first time round and I wasn't happy to start with but I researched it - a lot - and its utterly fine in the first tri! You body will have already stored all the vits it needs apart for Folic Acid.

You do need to start taking them as soon as you enter 2nd tri though, but by then your MS will be much better. xxx

A good plan Lyns. I am a bit parnoid about my vits and minerals as I'm a vege, so live on a cocktail of supplements, but I may try ditching them until after the MS has passed. It really seems to be turning into proper "morning" sickness now. I feel like death warmed up in the morning, and that's when I am actually sick. Then it is just nausea for the rest of the day, and comes and goes. Seems to be quite bad at bedtime though which I don't like. We have an attic conversion room, so the loo is downstairs. I've taken to having a bucket by the bed just in case!!!! Yuck!

Wow! That's amazing! I always used to think embryos looked like aliens, but now I've got my own little one in there, I seem to find them very sweet. It must be the hormones!

Hellooo ladies...

Well havent we been busy again??!!!

Firstly welcome to our new mums to be - Tabbybartley, Babybooties and Soliloquise (or Sam?)

Congratulations on your BFP's and welcome to our lovely thread. Always full of dicussion and panic!! I will add you all to the front page. If you have any dates of important things you'd like me to add, drop me a line or a post and I'll add you x

KKSarah - So pleased you got yourself sorted out today, and that you've stopped bleeding now. FX it stays that way!!!!

Gem, congratulations on seeing your beans HB!!! Its so exciting isnt it?! I have a cyst on my ovary (thats what caused all my pain - leading to scans bloods etc. They thought it might have been ectopic too. They are very thorough these hospitals!! My cyst is currently around 4cm which they are watching. It can be bloody painful at times I tell you...

Niki - Hope you're not feeling too sick tonight. Good plan regarding the vits!!

OK. So my drama continues today....

I went to bed last night feeling weird. ALL my pain in my tum had disappeared, no backache, no migraine (yay - after 6 days!) no sickness, no nothing. So I woke up this morning and felt the same way. Completely symptom free. Ive gone from the full works, to nothing. I also felt empty and just wrong.

I had the number for the epu specialist nurse at the hospital who said call her anytime. So I did, only to find she wasnt working, but her replacement told me to come down anyway. I had a scan (the sonographer wasnt massively impressed as I'd only had one Monday) she reluctantly gave me one going on my loss of symptoms and my history of this weird internal bleeding thing.

Well an obdom scan showed a very big and healthy HB and a much bigger bean than on Monday. The bleeding is still the same (me and OH were convinced the bleeding - which looks like an growth of some discription - actually looked like a face! - well OH said the moon...)

I saw the nursey lady after, who was wonderful. Taked to me like I knew what I was on about (you know when you do know a bit about babies and bodies and they disregard your comments as though you dont count because you're not one of them?) Well, she wasnt like that at all. She seems to think I might have released 2 eggs and the internal bleeding might have been a twin of my bean that hasnt made it. Not too sure how to think about that at the minute TBH.. She said she hopes the bleeding will not interupt the development of bean, but she cant be sure what will happen. Waiting game again...Good news is that there is a HB, and when I had my bloods done on Monday, my HCG came back at 80.000 - which is massive!!

I have my next scan in 2 weeks, so fingers crossed I'll get that far (my last oregnancy ended at my 10 wk scan after no HB).

Well the symptoms have slowly made their way back today - although not completely(I am not moaning - I actually got to eat tea tonight!!) I now have the worlds worst backache, and Im going to have a bath.

Hope everyone is well. Looking forward to the snow Sunday!!

Oh Shelley: you are going through the mill! I am keeping everything crossed that your LO hangs on in there. The heartbeat and the hCG look like good signs. Don't dwell on the possibility of a twin thing. I gather it is fairly common, but try not to get too caught up in the "what might have been" stuff. As long as your little fighter keeps on being healthy and well, that's what you need.

 

[Shazzy]

geogem great site thanks!

shelleylu glad to hear there is a hb and great hcg count!

 

[geogem]

hey girls!
just thought i'd check up on you all tonight as hubby is on nights and kids gone to grandparents for the night to give me a break! But boredom is setting in!!

But hey - I am feeling fine and still no symptoms which now I am beginning to feel good about, although I dont wanna get too cocky as it would be just my luck to get it next week with a vengeance!!

Shelley - oh sweetie, nothing is being easy for u is it? Glad you heard a HB tho!! that is a really good sign that LO is a fighter!! I totally agree with Niki, try not to dwell on the twin thing, you have one happy bean in there that is fighting to meet you in a few months - be strong for him/her! Sending lots of love and kisses!!

Anyway, me and ma poochy are gonna have some snuggles on the sofa before bed,
biee for now
biee

glad were all doing fine, cant wait to be in 2nd tri...3rd tri then aving are gorgeous babies

 

[shelleylu]

Morning girlies!

Wow, how glad I am to wake up with no backache!! I was virtually in tears with it last night. Made me feel sick as a pig too. My bean certainly is a fighter, and a painfull little thing too!!

Thanks for all your support ladies, it means a lot - you're the only people (apart from OH) who understands every painful step of this!! Im not concered with the twin idea. I think every mum to be hopes deep down it might be twins, but having one LO make it through would be plenty for us

Gem - I hate you woman. I reckon I must be having some of your sysmptoms - HAVE THEM BACK!!! haha, seriously, you are veeery lucky. FX they stay away xxx

Honey - I am pretty sure they go from your LMP - and I wouldnt worry too much about sizes at your early scan. My scan on Monday showed a 5 week bean, and I should have been 7 weeks nearly. When I went back yesterday it was much bigger. I asked the nurse, and she said not to take too much notice of it, as its quite hard to get accurate measurements because they are so small. They are more concerned with your 12 weeks scan. You've not too long to wait for it either - Keep up the PMA!!

Hope you're feeling better today NIki - Big

Im off to visit nans and clean the bathroom. Oh how I love the weekend!

Hiya: Shelley: so sorry to hear you have been suffering so much.
I'm not so bad today. Woke feeling sicky, but just stayed in bed as it's Saturday and munched a few rice cakes. Then had a nice big breakfast at about 11am. I get waves of nausea every now and then, but nothing like I seem to get on school days. I think my beanie does not like getting up at 6am and leaving for work so early!!! It's taking after me!
Honey: My beanie is spot on the right size from my OV date. You go 2 weeks back from your OV date to start counting. I didn't OV till CD21 in October so going by my last AF is way out. I felt OV on Wed 22nd Oct, and on Wed 26th Nov, baby was measuring spot on 7 weeks. Hope that makes sense. Though the doctor did explain to me that not all eggs take spot on 7 days to implant like mine must have done, so you can still be up to 5 days out if you count from OV date if your beanie took less or more than 7 days to implant. It's all very complicated!!!!

 

[Bekkiboo]

Hiya, joining the group a tad late I feel, but just so you know I am due on 17th July

 

[shelleylu]

I've just updated the front page girlies - any dates remember to post them if you so desire!

Welcome Bekkiboo - congrats on your BFP!! Have you been trying long (if at all)???

Niki - glad you're abit better today. I have had the right dizzys today. Meant to be out and about, but spent most of the day making Christmas dec's with my son and OH! We went to our local woods yesterday and picked loads of holly and twigs. Ive made a thing for my front door, and a hanging thing for my porch. (when I say things, I mean ivy and twig creations...lol)
I cant wait to put my tree up - I love Christmas!!

[Bekkiboo]

Hello Shelley and thanks hun, we were trying from September so not too long really, it's surprising how it still comes as a shock even when planned!! Had the day off work today, I did feel sick this morning and rather tired but also have serious issues with the attitude of some of the managers at work, not because of the pregnancy but because they have recently been promoted and I think the power has gone to their heads and they tend to speak to people they used to work alongside like crap now! I don't think I could face it even if I was feeling okay to be honest as i'm too darned emotional lately and was minutes away from bursting into tears on my shift last night!
Sorry realised there was a slight vent there!!

P.s I got my Bfp officially on the 10th November from the docs, tests before that were very vague so didn't know what to think.... think it may be because they were a tad cheap!

 

[geogem]

Hi ladies - hubby on nights again so here I am trying not to get too bored as kids are still at grandparents!!

Honey - I had an early scan on thursday due to some pains but everything was okay and I saw HB!!

Shelley - I know, I kinds feel guilty about the no symptom thing as my friend is 10 weeks pregnant and she feels awful and cant stop being sick! - She said she hates me too!!!

I still have no symptoms at all - apart from servere thirst!! Still think I could keep the local dairy in business just on the milk I drink each day!! I went to Tesco on thursday night and took 2 pints of milk off the shelf and it was gone within 2 isles and I had to get DS to go get some more!!

But all in all feeling great! - Expecting a weekend of lie ins due to kids not being here and I felt that alive and awake I was up by 7.45am!!

Niki - Glad to hear you are feeling better sweetie!! hope it stays that way for you!!

Bekkiboo - Welcome to our thread and congrats - hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy!!

Anyway babbled enough today - see you soon
