glong - maybe it's a little girl this time? I'm praying for you, the waiting/wondering is very hard.

That's what I am thinking although that would be to good to be true, a pregnancy with no symptoms and a girl after 2 boys!

24 hours to go...
 
glong - Hope you start feeling better. Hoping for the best at your appointment!

I've been getting headaches as well. Some of them do seem to hang on for a couple of days which is no fun.

I was starting to feel like my nausea was finally starting to ease up a bit, but I ended up feeling sick for most of yesterday. I feel like the nausea has worn me down and it makes it hard to enjoy any aspect of this pregnancy. I keep reminding myself that growing a human is hard work and a miracle in and of itself. Hoping to start really enjoying the journey soon!!
 
Miss I was the same. If it makes you feel better most of this week for me I've felt a lot better. I still have some queasy moments, mind you, but I can tell the nausea is on the way out...which is really good! Focus on the good days, you're bound to have more good than bad at this stage and it sucks when it comes back but you know it's likely just temporary. Hope you're feeling better...it's so hard mentally, I really really struggled the last 2 months. I was so very excited, but also nervous and scared and felt physically miserable so it was hard to enjoy pregnancy and then I felt guilty for not enjoying it.

eddjan - I am so sorry you're feeling unwell...I hope it passes for you soon. There is light at the end of the tunnel! Do you have family/friends nearby to help with your sick little one? Pregnant mama's with little ones already... I don't know how you do it! I could barely take care of myself weeks 6-12.

glong - cramping is normal, I have had some instances of minor cramping and some round ligament pain here and there, never lasts for too long and babe looked great last week (and heard on doppler just yesterday). I chalk it up to my uterus continuing to grow and stretch.

Thank you Alligator. It was another day off for my son today, still too ill for school. He isn't any bother really but I was too tired to take my 3 year old to pre school since I was up half the night changing my son's bed and cleaning up sick so had 2 kids beside me today lol. Honestly I was thinking of my normal Tuesday which is full of multiple school runs and then sports clubs in the evenings and was glad to be home! My mum would come down and help if I asked her to but I didn't want her catching a sick bug. Off to docs tomorrow to have my levels of electrolytes and ketones measured so hopefully it's not too bad. :flower:
 
Good luck! I'm glad your mum is available in a pinch. So good to have grandparents nearby.

Thanks Alli! That does make me feel better. Glad you are starting to feel better too!
 
Starry I’m sorry about not being on good terms with your parents. That’s really hard. I hope you get better sleep soon and that they react super awesome about it.

So sorry about the sickness January, I cannot even IMAGINE having hyperemesis. I hate throwing up and how do you even do that when you already have children?! You are amazing. I hope your son feels better soon! It’s so hard when our kiddos are sick!

Lilmiss I get migraines outside of pregnancy too, this pregnancy I got one almost every day early on. It. Was. Terrible. I’ve gotten a few the past few weeks but it seems to be getting better now that I’m nearing second tri. With my daughter though I got headaches at the beginning of second tri for a couple weeks.

I had my 12 week scan yesterday and will upload a pic in a minute :)
 
Baby!

Thanks Livvy. I attempted to contact them by both calling and leaving msgs and text messages but it appears they’ve blocked my number so nothing else I can do.
I need to focus on our baby and letting that part of my life go now

I must say your little one is super cute in the 3D pictures :)
 
Livvy - so cute!

Starry - I’m so sorry. How awful... I can’t believe they would treat their own child that way. Best to focus on yourself and your DH and your family.

Ah thank you Livvy that's so sweet and made me smile. I was feeling quite crap this morning so it cheered me up :flower:
 
Had my scan. Baby was fine. They didn't do much as I have my 12 week scan Monday coming but they obv checked heartbeat was there, which is was and checked my ovaries for cysts incase that was where pain was.

They have corrected my due date, I am now 12 weeks 2 days due 23rd July. :)
 
Oh wonderful news!!! <3 so thrilled for you. You are a lucky one with no symptoms mama! Enjoy! And you moved ahead 4 days, that's the dream!
 
glong - congrats on a good scan and on moving ahead a few days!

Livvy - great scan pictures!!
 
Can't wait for my Monday scan and actually get a good view of baby and a nice photo.

Feels very odd to be pregnant and not sick. Hopefully it means a different gender
 
Glad to hear your scans went well, Liivy and Glong!

I had my doctor's appointment today and am glad to say that I am not anemic this time. My levels were 15.5 which was really good despite the fact that I'm not taking iron supplements. I had to in my last pregnancy because my iron level was only 11 so that's good at least. My weight gain though... I'm very ashamed of it. I have already gained 15 lbs. :shock: Probably because it has been so cold here that I've been cooped up inside so long and not really exercising. We live in a rural area and don't have any gyms nearby but as soon as the weather starts to break I'm definitely going to try to stay active. My sickness seems to be easing quite a bit but I did hear baby's heartbeat on doppler today so I'm hoping that means everything is fine.
