[SJK]

Hi Gem, Im ok thanks, just anxiously waiting like the rest of us, when is it going to get better, having a few cramps at the minute , always something, ah well, Im not complaining.

Shelley, hope you get sorted with a scan tomorrow , when I was at the mw last week, she said not to go to a&e if I had any concrens but to come to maternity and they would sort me out, could you do that maybe ?

Thanks girls..

SJK, I dont really have a maternity unit to go to as such. The one hospital I am booked into for my 1st scan and to give birth is soooo huge, and you never get to speak to anyone twice. Ive been in another hospital for all the issues Ive had so far. I have no idea where the m/w's live??!!

I called the big hospital up and spoke to a nurse in EPU. She said she couldnt let me come in for a scan, that I needed to be reffered by my GP. She asked if I could ask the other hospital for one instead. I tried calling them, but no answer.

Think Im going to ring my GP tomorrow, get in there and explain. Im so close to Monday now, I cant see anyone going out of thier way for me at this stage. Fingers crossed eh..

SJK hope the cramping is alright?? My tummy feels like its on the move today. Since Ive moaned about lack of symptoms, Ive had all kinds of sensations. Im guessing its just wind - the antibiotics Ive been on make my tummy sooo poorly. Kind of robbing Peter to pay Paul!

Ah well, chin up xx PMA!! xxx

Hi ladies
sorry I have't been in the buddys section for a while my preggo brain forgets that its here I hope everyone is well and the beans are doing well. Im having a private scan on monday to put my mind at rest before christmas. Im so worried there will be something wrong I cant really look forward to it tho I cant wait for it to come just so I know. Sorry to be down but I just am so worried its totally irrational as I have had no signs that anything is wrong im just paranoied thanks for listening xxxxxx

 

[geogem]

morning girlies,

How is everyone this fine morning?? I feel normal as usual!! Still have nothing!!

Any news shelley??

 

[shelleylu]

Hi Gem,

Im feeling fine too.... weird eh..

Have a bit of a cold though, and so does my son. He is still in bed - No school for him today.

I havent been able to get a doctors appointment today, so I think I am just going to wait till Monday. Ive waited 2 weeks so far, so a couple more days wont hurt. My last m/c was diagnosed at 10+4 scan, and they said my pregnancy had stopped at 9+2. I am 9+1 today, and I'd like to get to next week really anyway, because if everything is ok, I'll then be worried untill my next scan - viscious circle!!

Hows everyone else doing? Bit quite on this thread recently. Think all the sad news has made us all down maybe......

[geogem]

think it has made us a bit depressed!! And making us realise a few things!

I know what you mean tho Shelley, its all worry!!

gotta wait a little longer for my scan tho!! Still got nearly 3 weeks!!

 

[maybethistime]

Hi all,

Hope everything goes ok with ur scan shelly just push them into getting u one, cos its not faire to make u wait and wonder xx

Hello,
Shelley: sorry that you had no luck getting an earlier scan. The waiting must be horrible. .
Maybethhistimine: Sorry to hear about your sickness.
I was sickness free all of yesterday, thanks to the tablets the doc gave me, but then nausea was really bad after dinner and all night, and kept me awake most of it too. First thing this morning I brought up a lot of bile, but since then have just been taking it easy and managed to keep a little food and drink down. Will see how far I can get without another tablet as I am so reluctant to take them.
I also have quite bad cramping today, which I've not had for ages. Hope that's not a bad sign. Anyone else still getting cramping?

 

[geogem]

Nikki - I dont get cramping for ages - then I get a day where it is terrible !!

have decided its a good sign LO is having a growth spurt!!

I like to think of it that way!!

 

[Sarah+]

Hi Ladies, It's so reassuring to log on and read that other people are going through similar stuff, even though our symptoms are all so varied (and ever changing) Jealous of the people with no/few symptoms, and sorry to hear some have such bad m/s. I'm somewhere in the middle, not doing too badly. Mild nausea still, extremely tired, boobs getting uncomfy to sleep on now and some 'stretching' pains. Oh, and so bloated I have a good preview of my proper bump!

I understand what you're saying about waiting til Monday for the scan Shelley. And I'm sure all will be fine. I had some more bleeding this morning, less than last week and not with the really bad cramps. I considered calling my Ob-Gyn and getting a scan, but then I thought that even if I had the scan and all was fine, I would still be wondering if it was the start of a prob, and it really wouldn't stop me worrying, so I'm just waiting til next Friday when I'm already booked.

I'm trying to think about more positive stuff. So, whose decided if they're finding out the sex or not? My DH wants to know, I don't.... but might change my mind....

 

[geogem]

Sarah+ - I dont want to find out either, luckily neither does hubby!!

I did find out when I had DS and instantly wished that I hadnt!!

Sorry to hear your feeling ill - I have not had any sickness at all - just starting the past few days to feel really tired!

But I think we need some PMA !!!!

come on girls it is the way forward!!

 

[NikiJJones]

We're definitely finding out. I guess we would just rather know, so we can plan clothes, room, name etc. Most of our friends have foundn out too, and it's been nice being able to refer to their LOs by a name before they were born, and not "it". I can completely see the argument for not knowing too, but we aren't that patient.

 

[maybethistime]

I still get craping now and again, but I think mine is wind lol TMI cos after if let some wind out im fine lol, god how lady like,

Mine was bile this morning hopefully thats it, i think its cos they have a huge growth spirt at 10 weeks, and thats when it started end of the 9th week till now how mean lol xx

we keep flipping in and out of wanting to find out so funny I have not got an idea, I keep saying him, which i really need to stop as its prob a girl lol xx

 

[Lanyloo]

Hi everyone, hope you are all ok.

Well after my sickness leaving me for 4 days last week, its came back on Monday worse than ever! Still not as bad as some of you seem to be suffering but bad enough! I'm sick 3-5 times a day although (touch wood) nothing but wretching over the loo today !

I'm not complaining though, its great to know that baby is ok in there and he/she can make me as sick as he/she likes!

So sorry to people having problems, its a really worrying time isnt it.

We have decided not to find out the sex only because Hubby is set on not wanting to know. I'd love to know because I'm impatient but I know I'd regret it if we did so it will be team yellow for us!

I'm going Xmas shopping tonight and I'm desperate to buy some tiny baby clothes but don't want to temp fate plus my Hubby would go mad as he's more worried than me after our last pregnancy ended with a MMC. Hopefully after our scan next week, we can relax and maybe buy a few things to curb my need to spend!!

Anyway to everyone and speak soon.

 

[Lanyloo]

Oh and I do still get cramping, some days nothing and other days quite bad.

 

[NikiJJones]

I'm so desperate to start buying baby stuff too, but just daren't till after my 12 week scan. My Mum and Dad are just getting me money for X'mas this year, and with any luck I can spend it soon after new year on baby and maternity stuff. I just find I don't want ANYTHING for X'mas except a healthy baby.
Sorry to hear about others suffering with the sickness. It is pants, but as you said Lanyloo, it's all worth it for baby.

 

[Always&4ever]

I feel really sick at the moment I'm not able to eat, drink and my temp seems to be going up, its currently on 39.2 can't get in the docs though, I guess its a bug or something.. hows everyone else?

 

[NikiJJones]

Jazzy that temp sounds really too high. Can you get to an emergency doc? Have you taken anything? My doc said that if I felt at all bad and temp went much above 37.5 I should take paracetamol to get it down. I hope you feel better soon, sweetie.

 

[geogem]

The problem I have is keeping the kids from the baby sections in Tesco!!

The eldest girl is 13 and she keeps picking up all the prem baby stuff and saying but its sooooo cute can I get it!! - Well one its too early to be buying baby stuff and I really hope we arent gonna need prem clothes!! Seen as DS was 9 and a half pounds and didnt even fit in newborn clothes I really dont think so!!

 

[Always&4ever]

I've taken paracetomol but that was 2 hours ago, Ive managed to have a bit of water but not sure how long il keep it down for, ive tried getting an emergency appt, and the receptionist said I should have rang this morning and they have nothing to offer me
