July/August (Summer Sunbeams) 2012!

[struth]

I'm with you on the sleeping too. I don't get enough sleep normally anyway (probably go to bed about midnight and then get up at 7am) but I have been waking super early. It is almost like once my brain has registered that I am awake AND that I am pregnant then I am wide awake!

I was soooo tired yesterday - I fell asleep on the couch for an hour or so in the day. That is so unlike me - I never sleep in the day.

Oh and my dreams have been vivid and really silly!

Loving the picture of you playing angry birds under the duvet bunda

Well, in other news I had a super strong FRER this morning - that was reassuring especially as I'm only 16dpo AND I have made an appointment to see my doctor next Tuesday to see if she will book me in for an early scan. I'm hoping to go at about 7-8 weeks - after my mmc in August the EPU said that they would scan me early if/when I got pregnant again. I'm hoping I don't have to fight or cry for it ....

Today is the big day. I go for my scan this afternoon. Starting to get nervous about it that I can't work any more, so here I am posting away. Keeping my fingers crossed for good results.

Good luck for your scan want2bmomma, am sure everything will be just perfect. xx

Struth, if the EPU said you can have an early scan you should have no problem getting one my epu is very good like that, I had a mc before I had my youngest and they scanned me at 6, 8 and 10 weeks. xx

Puppycat, thanks hun that's very nice of you. I have depression, anxiety, mood disorder and OCD. I'm coping okay with all except the anxiety and OCD. I'm worrying about the baby/pregnancy (with no obvious reason to be worried) and having irrational thoughts. Trouble with OCD is you think those thoughts obsessively, and they won't go away . I am medicated, and continued with my meds, as it's better for me to be stable, but may need to speak to my pysch team and see what they can recommend, may need meds tweaking or something else adding, either way, it's nice to have someone to chat to xxx

Good plan hun. I have anxiety depression and am seeing a counsellor via the GP atm. I'm hoping it can help me get of my tabs, it's better for baby to be off meds but I know it's not the best idea for me so it's a risk I have to take. I know a lot of girls who've been on these particular tabs through pregnancy though and all is fine

Congrats Janice!!!! so exciting! I have a twin sister

my first scan is the 19th! i can't wait to see my little love bug! I am 7 weeks and still no MS... anyone else feeling as great as me? I am just super sleepy.

I have a twin sister too and my first scan is on the 19th as well. Ironic must I say. Good Luck to you!

oh wow! thats crazy! are you identical? Let me know how your scan goes so excited for us!

Id definitely agree it is crazy...we are fraternal, what about you? So excited for us too!

We are identical Fraternal twins are hereditary so maybe you will have twins hehe

I quit my medication last time, all was well until near the very end of my pregnancy when I had a nervous breakdown. Was referred straight to hospital to be induced (I didn't know they were going to induce at the time) and they didn't even want to let me go home to get my things as they were concerned I was a risk to myself... I was VERY lucky to not get PND as most of my problems were caused by concern for the baby while pregnant and having him here helped a lot. If it wasn't for the mood disorder, I'd consider quitting my meds again, but I can't. My moods are too unpredictable, and whether up, or down, my behaviour can be dangerous and risky too, so safer to stay on it for me, and for my little Pip xx

Lauren: So sorry for your loss. Sending you a virtual hug!

Well, I just got back from my scan. We saw the bean's heartbeat and the MD said everything looked very good. She put me at 6 weeks 3 days with a due date of Aug. 3rd! I feel a little better now, but I know I am still not out of the woods yet, but am much more positive now. Thanks for the kind words ladies.

How's everyone else been feeling?

 

[croydongirl]

mama that s great news.
I am freaking out a bit. My nausea had eased a bit yesterday and today its been pretty much non existent. I am also having a strange feelings down there not painful, just weird. The stretching I had been feeling has gone too. I am reaaly hoping that this doesn't mean anything sad is about to happen...
Thursday can't come fast enough, but I am hoping I make it that far, and hoping that we don't have to find out bad news then.
All my other m/c have happened early and started at home. I just don't know how I would handle hearing bad new with a wand up my hoo ha and no heart beat.

If you are the praying kind, I would appreciate some.

Hoping for a terrible day of symptoms tomorrow to reassure me.
