July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[shelleylu]

Morning girls,

Lyns I have had heartburn pretty much everyday since my BFP!! I get it when Im hungry. I can feel the acid bubbling at the bottom of my throat and it kills some days!!

Elliebank - I have had that too!! They tingle sometimes too, I suppose its the hormones again... I tell you another things thats doing my head in - itchy armpits!!! I swear, its gross, but its true. Only on the one side - all wknd. I scratched it red raw - very sore now...ooops....

Sam - Thanks for that offer, I'll bear it in mind Only problem is, I am a little bit of a singer/muscian, but my OH is the one with the talent, I just make up the numbers...lol.

How did you got on at the doctors yesterday??

Gem, are you doing any work yet woman?

SO, it snowed here this morning too - I love the snow. Trying to keep spirits high (some of you may have seen that my m/w discovered blood in my urine yesterday)

I have sent the sample off, so wait and see - again. I had a bit of a scare this morning too. went shopping to get DS his Wii, and stopped off for a cheeky breakfast. popped to the toilet and when I wiped (sorry if tmi) there was loads of erm, how can I say it withough being gross again? I'll say discharge... but there was a tinge of blood in it. So theres me worrying again - on the phone to EPU like the speed of light. I was told to go home and out the kettle on, and have a paracetamol. I mean come on!! I am walking around a shopping centre, thinking Im miscarrying again and I get told to go and make a brew?!

So I have come home and there is no more blood thank god. I have had another pain all morning which ive tried to ignore (as Im going mad with all the pains) but now I think it may all be related. The nurse told me the blood could be the random blood from inside the sac making its way out. How very comforting. I know I sound bitter, but I am so fed up being worried to death. When I m/c last time, the only sign I had was a pink discharge. I still continued to have m/s and all the other symptoms for a week before the scan showed no HB. Sorry for ranting...

So, watch this space ladies. Cant tell you anymore, as I dont know anymore. Hopefully the stongest bean in the world can hang on a little bit more and be safe. Fingers crossed.

Hope everyone else is ok, and too fed up with my worrys and moans. Enjoy the snow if you have it!!

xxxx

I hope everything is ok Shelley, I know it's difficult but try not to worry.

And typical English - a cup of tea fixes everything! (if only)

 

[geogem]

I had cramps from week 4 to week 6 and it actually got quite bad at some stages!

He's mad if he's looking forward to the cold - When I got up this morning it was -3 degrees centigrade!! and snowing!!!

Its is really really cold at the mo!!

I have been up since 4am this morning as my insomnia has come back again!! I got so bored I was ironing by 5am!!

AARRGGHH!!!!! Oh well I am still not sicky!!

 

[geogem]

And shelley - no I dont do much!! Think they pay me to look pretty!!

Either that or my social skills!!

Oh dear woman - could there possibly be anything else for you poppet, you seem to get the worst luck with all of this. Thinking of you and sending lots of love and Hugs!! xxxx

Done already hun

I need to distraction to be honest. I'm not working (due to expecting the worlds worst m/s like last time) and Im really mega bored being a housewife!! Dont get me wrong, I'd moan if I had to go to work everyday, but sometimes its rubbish!!

Think I might wrap me some presents - Always cheers me up.

Thanks Gem and everyone else - keep our fingers crossed hey!! xxx

 

[NikiJJones]

Shelley: So sorry to hear about your scare. You've had more than your share of worries! Sending you tonnes of . Can't believe they told you to go home and have a brew!!

I was puking about every half an hour this morning, but feeling better now I've eaten lunch. Just hope it stays down. Couldn't even keep water down this morning! It is reassuring to know that beanie is making me so sick though.

 

[geogem]

yeah, is it sad that I wish I had this??

I wanna puke!! or at least feel a bit sick now and again - but no, I just keep feeling fine!!

I'm glad I had that scan the other day or I would start thinking that it wasnt really there coz I feel normal!!

 

[NikiJJones]

To be honest, Geogem: I am feeling icky and puking, and still worried in the back of my mind that I won't see a heartbeat on Friday. I guess we are all playing the waiting game, symptoms or no symptoms.

 

[geogem]

I know what you mean - I suppose in 7 months time, I'll be gratefull for not being ill!!

Hope everything goes okay for you on Friday!! what time is your appointment?
I have my midwife appointment on Friday at 12pm.

I am hoping to get a date for my next scan too!! was told I should get one before xmas- I hope so, I cant wait to actuall see it as a baby and not just a funny blur with a HB!!

 

[NikiJJones]

Hope you do get your date soon. Before X'mas would be great!
My scan on Friday is 11.45. This is my first "going private paranoia" one!!
You will feel so, so lucky once we are into 2nd Tri if you've not suffered at all at this stage. I can understand the desire for symptoms though at this stage. I'd be off for a scan every other day I reckon if I felt normal.

 

[geogem]

let us all know how it went then on Friday!!

How much are scans if you go private?

My friend is getting a 3d one for £250!! I wouldnt pay that for one that doesnt do any health checks!! She only having it for fun!!

But hey I suppose when you have had 6 kids by 4 pregnancies and never had a problem with any of them you wouldnt be quite as frantic!!

All she was bothered about was checking it wasnt her 3rd set of twins!!

Mad or what??

 

[NikiJJones]

Gosh: 2 sets of twins!!!
Mine is £130. I could get it for £90 if I travelled further, but then would have petrol or train fares, and to be honest I'd rather have it as close to home as possible. It sounds like a whole load of money, I know, but when you've been saving for baby for as long as I have, it's not really the end of the world. I worked out the other day I have actually saved enough now to cover 3 maternity leaves! When I started TTC I was worried I'd not save enough for one. I didn't bargain with my body not behaving!

 

[TigerLady]

Wow, Nikki, you are way prepared! Good for you!

Glad to hear everyone is doing well! Shelly, I am sure bubs is just fine.

My first scan is tomorrow!! I can't wait!! FX we hear a HB!!!

And I am so so envious of you UK ladies with the snow!!! It is -5 degrees C here (yes negative!) but still no snow! I want snow!!!!

 

[NikiJJones]

I've decided I want snow now. When we get it heavy they close the school down as lots of the pupils come from MILES away and just can't get here. I will do a dance to the snow fairy tonight I think. I could do with a couple of days no school!
Good luck with your scan TL!

 

[geogem]

I wish I was as prepared as you Niki - we started to save when we started ttc as we thought it might take a while!!
But considering I have only been off the pill 9 weeks and I'll be 8 weeks pregnant on thursday, we didnt get to save too much!!

Tigerlady, we have had snow twice in the last week but we dont get it very deep - just hoping we get some for xmas!! think it will make it an extra special time!!

 

[Lyns]

I asked in the other July thread, but thought i'd ask here too...

Is anyone feeling a lot less crampy now than they did or just me?

I suddenly realised I haven't felt any cramping feelings for a few days....dunno whether thats good or bad

 

[TigerLady]

Mine have been almost non existent lately. I had a bunch in my 2WW and just after, but not for the last week or so. Had a few yesterday, but only a couple and not very strong. That has been it. I hope that is not bad!!
