Anyone have any advice while flying? I live in newyork and I'm flying Christmas day to Arizona to visit dh's mom... I'm scared il have ms on the plane and barf on someone lol I mean I don't have too much now I'm just nearing 7 weeks, but if I don't eat I feel really nausous..

Three bits of advice: Anti-ms pills! (Godsend!), Spew bag, and an aisle seat near the toilet!! Lol





I had my first proper scan today and can't believe how much little one was moving. What an awesome sight.

Thank you girls for your support it means so much to me. I'm praying hard for a Christmas BFP for my mum as it would mean so much to her. And I love love LOVE what you all said about this baby was meant for me. I was so scared when I first found out I was pregnant, as a single mum, but within a few days the fear turned to excitement and a feeling of "this is meant to be." It wasn't planned of course, and it could have been under better circumstances but I definitely feel this was meant to happen, this baby is meant to be born. More positive than I've felt in a while so thank you all for your support and kind words, you have made this mamas day. Also loving the ultrasound pic funkifairy, lovely. And good luck pinklollipop for your scan hope it goes as perfectly as it can xxx

Mine was completely unplanned and conceived while using contraception and I feel a bit bad when I see people desperately trying. My aunt has been trying for over a year with IVF without any success.

But I try to feel blessed and not let others take that from me even though it's not easy x

Good luck pinklollipop

I've been extremely sick and dizzy today. First day back to work since the bleeding and I just don't know if I can handle it, I feel like I can pass out at anytime or throw up or start crying. Much harder than I thought it would be. Ultrasound is Monday. Hope everyone is doing good

Wow, that is much clearer than i was expecting for 10 weeks.

When i go for my 12 week scan I'll be about 9 weeks, any one know what I'll see then? (I know that looks confusing but I have long cycles so my LMP EDD isn't really right)

Morning sickness advice

My doctor told me this little trick which I guess works in about 70% of cases.
Taking B6 with Unisom (Doxylamine) can help. She said take one Unisom with a B6 pill, 25-50mg at night can help give you a good nights sleep and wake up NOT feeling nauseous. And then take half a unisom with the same B6 dose in the day if needed.

I guess the Unisom has to be the sleep tabs the gels are made from something different - check the back of the packet to make sure the active ingredient is doxylamine and not something different.

I guess the doxylamine was developed as an anti nausea drug but then they realised it made people sleepy so that's how they market it but it helps ease the sickness.

Anyway, this has been a lifesaver for me I hope it helps.

If you ladies are still feeling really bad and have something specific and important that you have to do you could ask for a prescription of zofran, I think that's what it's called. My doctor offered it if things got really bad for me but so far I haven't needed it. I had finals for school to day and wondered about getting some just in case but in the end I didn't need it. I guess they give it to cancer patients to help with nausea during treatment and it is safe for pregnancy.

Hope you ladies are feeling better.

After freaking out because of lack of symptoms yesterday I have morning sickness back in full force today. It is reassuring even though it sucks!

That scan is AWESOME! Wow, I can;t believe that our little blob will look like that in just a few more weeks.

Wishing you traveling ladies easy travels, I would hate to fly feeling sick too. Wishing you well, and I hope that this suggestion could help you.

I made the appointment with the MW today, i cant get in untill 11th Jan because she is on holiday untill then

When i went to the receptionist to get the pregnancy test results (you have to provide a urine sample for testing before they will make an apt with MW) she scared the hell out of me. When i gave her my details she told me to hang on & disapered in to the back & came out with someone else 5 mins later. Everything was fine tho thank god.

Felt really crappy this morning, really exhausted & in pain. Everywhere seems to ache like i'm comming down with something & my belly feels like i've done a 1000 sit ups. i dont remember this last time.

Hello ladies! I would love to join. My little bubba is due on the 19th August and I found out 4 days ago!

 

[Funkifairy]

Thanks so much girlies, I was very pleasantly surprised, didn't think I'd see that much! Drank LOTS of water before though, maybe that helped?

So true hun, just because we weren't trying to make these babies, doesn't mean we love them or want them any less now they're there xxx
