14 weeks today!

My next scan is at 23 weeks (Such a long time to wait!!) which will be sometime in April.

I really thought the "uterus stretching" cramps would start to subside by now, but I feel like I am cramping more than ever! Its making me a little uneasy, any one else still feeling those AF like cramps?

Hi ladies. An update to my DH situation. You guys may remember he was thinking of leaving me because I wasn't paying attention to him and because I have been moody of late.
I had an bad argument with my DH on Sat. He was angry at me again and actually yelled at me when I tried to hug him after he came home from work. After I tore him down for for being a complete ass. We got down to the meat of the matter. It wasn't that I was being unattentive. I even brought him lunch that day. (all the way across town btw) He was focusing on anything even perceived as negative. I asked him to open a door for me because my hands were full and he got mad cause he didn't hear me say thank you. (which I did say ty) I finally told him that if he wants a mommy then he needs to go back to his mother. By the end we patched things up though. I have never seen this side of my DH before. I knew he was clingy but I like that as a counter act to my independance. I am feeling so very insecure right now. The 1 person who I need the most is not proving to be a source of strength and positivity. I wish mt family was closer. At least then I would have more emotional support. Thank goodness for you ladies.

DHime, i'm sorry you're having such a tough time. You imagine pregnancy to be this wonderful journey together and when it isn't, can be really disappointing.
Your OH sounds like he's really insecure - maybe he's worried about the baby being your 'number 1' and not having that spot himself any more? It's not fair to make you feel bad for things that he's imagining though.
It is a shame your family aren't near. Do you have any friends nearby you feel you can talk to?
We're always here for you.

Brittastic, I've been getting some nearly AF style cramping/pulling/tightening for the first time in a while this past week. It did freak me out a little at first, but they never lasted long. I'm sure both of our little fruits are ok & just growing away in there.

Dhime. More He sounds scared. I still have the occasional "holy ****, what did I get myself into?!" moment. There is no turning back - I will have to push this new human being out of my body & we will become parents forever. Its overwhelming sometimes. Things have already started to change & hopefully he's just having a panicky moment of his own that will pass soon.

my next scan appointment is march 16th nurse at hospital said id be 19 weeks but looking at it ill be 20 so she must have looked at my origional edd (LMP) not the scan one. rookie mistake!

Hey ladies Anyone in the UK not heard about the date of their 20wk scan yet?? I'm still waiting and I'm 19+1!!! I didn't arrive in the UK until I was 17 weeks though....

 

[DHime]

Thanks ladies. I don't have anyone I am close to in the area. I moved across the country from my family to be with my DH. My best friend is 9 hours away. My closest family in 13 hrs away.
I also have those "holy crap, what the F have I done?!" moments. More often right now with this added instability with DH. I am hoping he comes around.

Puppy - when you have minute or two, would you mind changing my due date from the 18th to the 15th August? Thanks hon x

Sorry it took so long

Hi everyone Im jus looking for some advice......

I suffer from hyperemisis and i have been on numerous different anti sickness tablets plus been addmitted into hospital fo IV Fluids due to severe dehydration. Now the DR at the hospital has given me a different type of anti sickness tablet (more expensive) called Ondansetron melts. I have researched on line as to weather these are safe to take in pregnancy (I jus like to check for myself...being a nurse im a bit obsessed like this lol) the information that was given was that this type of medication is not recommended in pregnancy or breast feeding as not enough medical/scientific research has been done on it!!! Now I'm at a loss and dnt know what to do, as i do not always trust DRs!! Has anyone else ever taken this medication in pregnancy and had any problems?? Really worried now x

This seems to be the drug of choice for HG girls. I know a few girls on it with no problems. Don't worry about taking it and concentrate on each day as it comes. As long as you keep your fluids up hun you'll be fine

Due 9th July 2012! 18 weeks and 3 days pregnant xx

Done
