Congrats pinkee



I've been ill with a cold/flu and have woken to red spotting this morning. No obvious cramping but I'm so upset & so worried. Only had a scan on Monday & everything looked perfect! could it just be due to the illness/temperature???

 

[pgfairy]

This seems really trivial with current conversation topics (wishing you all the very best with your various scans and tests! ), but I'm new here and due 21st July, can I join you guys?

pgfairy

Congratulations & of course you can join us

 

[pgfairy]

:wave: Thanks!

I'm afraid I don't have much support to offer those of you who are having scary days but

 

[countryblonde]

Been stalking for a while mind if I join too? Due July 27

 

[k4th]

Come on in countryblonde - the more the merrier

How is everyone today? My spotting seems to have stopped again for now. This pregnancy is turning out to be so nerve wracking!! I don't remember any of this panic with dd - then again, I didn't have spotting & I hadn't been trying for over two years. Have another scan booked for Monday.

Is it too early to say "roll on July"??! Lol

 

[jodilee6]

Yay for all the little beans on scans

I know it's hard not to, but really don't worry about the spotting. I had it with DS1 and he's now a very happy healthy 2yo, I'd say start worrying if it's bright red and heavy.

If you've got a cold all the sneezing/coughing could just be irritating things down below

Had my works Xmas party the other night, I enjoyed the meal but disappeared before too many drinks we're had, it was pretty much a free bar! I'm thinking I got away with it, roll on Jan when I can tell everyone!

Tiredness has really kicked in this week (7+6) I'm feeling totally exhausted and need to nap just to get through the day!

Thanks jodilee - I'm trying so hard not to panic but it's so hard. On too of all the pregnancy stuff I also have itp (low platelets) so my blood doesn't clot well. Between my worries & the panic if my haematology team when I say I'm bleeding, I'm not managing much calm

More spotting last night and a spot of brown today. Urgh. This is so draining. I really, really want to enjoy my pregnancy!

Well done for escaping the bar jodilee - it's a hard time of year to hide isn't it?? & I'm exhausted too. I had been going to bed at 8pm - no naps for me with my 3 year old around lol! The last couple of days I've kept my feet up all day & have stayed awake until 10pm I feel wild!!

10pm you rebel

OH has been great with LO on the napping front, but then he knows it's in his best interest to let me sleep or he gets the brunt of my temper!

I'm certain the inlaws suspect something (we're planning a Xmas reveal) but think I've thrown them off the scent with stories of a heavy night out and killer hangover followed by a bottle of rose laced with mostly lemonade!! The next 2 weeks better go fast or I'm gonna crack soon!

 

[fuschia]

K4th - I hope your spotting has gone away - although it must be so scary it doesnt sound like it is unusual. Are you having another scan this week?

Jodilee- I love that about your stories of a heavy night! Good one! Why did they suspect in the first place?

I am finding it a bit easier now to keep it to myself that I did when I was only 4/5 weeks actually! We are also planning a christmas reveal and have a private scan booked for christmas eve so i hope that we have something resembling a baby to show them on the pic! xxx

 

[fuschia]

Jodilee - what is your due date?

 

[fuschia]

Also - how are all you ladies doing with your symptoms?

I think so far I am quite lucky with nausea - I do get it but its not extreme and Ive only thrown up twice! Its when I get too hot - I have to shower with muct lower temp and with the shower door open to the cold air!

Boobs are just sensitive all the time.

I need to pee so many times times at night - its just silly! Im not even drinking barely at all late at night! Sometimes there's not even much to pee! lol But Im not so bad in the day time which is weird! otherwise I would be a it concerned about a UTI!

my booking appointment is 30th December so I feel like I have ages to go until I can be 'officially' pregnant if you know what I mean! At the mo its just something me and hubby are doing as a secret !

 

[k4th]

Hi everyone

I had my scan this morning. Bubs is still looking good. Lovely heartbeat & measuring 8w 3 days - a day ahead!!! Not changing my due date yet though. I have my booking appointment next Monday and I'm feeling hopeful. My spotting has stopped again & I'm praying it just stays away now. If it comes back I'll have to go for an internal examination

Fuschia - 30th seems ages away but it'll be here before you know it, especially with Christmas in between. My symptoms throughout have been slightly tender bbs and occasional nausea. Since Sat (8 weeks on the dot) I've also completely lost my appetite. I feel hungry, I can eat, I just don't really want anything. I'm really having to make myself have proper meals. It feels a bit weird - like everything tastes of cardboard

 

[fuschia]

K4th how did baby look different since last scan ? More formed or quite similar ?

My scan at 7+4 I could identify head but thts about it really ! My next scan will be 9+4 - have you any more scheduled ?

 

[jodilee6]

Jodilee - what is your due date?

I'm due 26th July

Suspicion has come from my rather large bloated belly!! To me I look about 3 months tho OH recons I'm just being paranoid, I'll take a pic next time I go upstairs (too lazy to go now!)

Kath great news on the scan, try to relax and enjoy it now

Whoever mentioned the night peeing I'm with you, I was up every 2 hours last night needing to pee!!!!!!

 

[k4th]

Fuschia - at 7+2 I could only really see the head & body bits. Today though they used a lower resolution screen - I wasn't at the usual scan place so I didn't see much other than a body with a flickering heart. Hope you see more

Thanks jodilee - I'm trying to relax now. That fine for today but give me a week....

I'm glad to say I don't have night pee issues at the moment. Just insomnia that wakes me 6/7 times to get comfy (fuschia - there's a symptom I missed earlier!).

 

[UpNComer]

Hi all - July 22 due date here - just thought I'd jump in "the club!"

 

[pgfairy]

Just popped in to see how your scan went k4th, so glad you and bean are doing well!

I think it is exactly the right time to say roll on July (although I could hold off on the labor thing a few more months probably.....)

Am I the only one who's kind of enjoying it all being a secret and not really wanting to tell too many people yet?

 

[KelBez]

So up until now I've felt fine, just tired and a bit constipated but for the last 3 days I have not stopped feeling nausea. Could this be a late start to morning sickness? Even tho, it doesn't happen in the morning it's random.
