July Sparklers 2016!

[Cowgirl07]

Today At 5w5d I had a lot of spotting, we went down to the er and got to see our baby it's little heart was going at 103 bpm.

 

[gypsymama]

I had my first beta hcg at 12dpo and it was 51. Then on 14dpo, it was 160. Today, I called the Dr about the pain on my right side and he ordered another bhcg and it was only 291. It hasn't doubled and it's been 9 days since my last one. Has anyone ever had this happen? I can't talk to the Dr until tomorrow and I'm freaking out!

 

[ehjmorris]

Sorry ladies

Sorry your friends are not as supportive as they should be

[Miss Bellum]

How great you could hear the hb cowgirl very reassuring. Glad all iswell.

Gypsy sorry no advice as they don't measure levels here but I hope everything is well. Hopefully your Dr will be able to give you more advice today

I don't know much about HCG but if it's meant to have doubled, then I would try to stay positive as 291 isn't far from double at all. Wish you all the best hun. Stay positive!

Ladies with morning sickness - any tips? I didn't have it with my first, other than two times I can recall which would pass in a few minutes. This time around I feel nauseous on and off all day, I wake up in the middle of the night feeling starving hungry, and by morning I'm hungry and nauseous altogether. I fancy no foods! I can really fancy something... But in the time it takes me to cook it or get it, I want to vomit at the thought of it. I'm drinking ginger tea every time it comes on and have crackers but anything else you girls find helps? Not complaining as I am so happy with our bean but it's quite miserable having nausea on and off all day isn't it?

How are we all?

I found lemonade and ginger snaps or biscuits (from ikea in a massive christmas tin hehe) really helped with nausea. They are thin and crunchy, not too sweet but are delicious and really help stop nausea in its tracks.
I have to go to the gym this morning but think I'll take it easy with some cross training and swimming. I'm always so worried to do too much but enjoy my workout time so will keep it up as long as I can until I'm just swimming.

 

[jjbuttons]

Will try lemonade crackers and choc digestive biccys help me so far with nausea

Afternoon ladies, hope everyone is doing well.

Having an iffy day. Hormones are in over drive and I've finally kicked cigarettes 100% I was weaning since the minute I got that BFP (please don't judge) and I was having a difficult time kicking it for good but, I think I finally did it. So, today I'm a little cranky but, over all feeling well. I keep staring at my U/S pic of the little peanut and praying and hoping that next time we go we see that awesome HB.

I'm having a difficult time with my friends. I'm the 1st to have a baby, one of the few who actually wants children and it wasn't very hard for me to conceive; therefore, I'm getting the cold shoulder from a lot of them. The one who is actively TTC seems VERY pissed off at me and the couple of ones who don't want kids have made some rather rude comments. I feel that I may be putting distance between some of them just for the sake of not stressing so hard about it.

Ugh, sorry! Needed to vent.

I'm not judging you in a bad way but totally in a good way! I've never smoked a day in my life but my brother did (or maybe does!) &, as someone else said, I have seen him struggle to quit so many times so a HUGE well done to you for managing to quit & for putting your little one first. That is a great achievement. And it's such a shame about your friends. Again as someone else has already said, it doesn't sound like they were proper friends to begin with

Today At 5w5d I had a lot of spotting, we went down to the er and got to see our baby it's little heart was going at 103 bpm.

Congrats on hearing the heartbeat! That must have been so exciting!

I know nothing about HCG levels but hope everything goes well

I find keeping a pack of digestive biscuits by the bed & nibbling two before I get up helps. Last time around nothing helped

Oh sweety I'm sorry you're stressed and confused and worried. Like someone else said, it is still rising, so unfortunately you just gotta stay strong until you can see the doctor and find out what is going on for sure. I don't want to scare you but I did have a similar thing happen with my missed miscarriage, my hcg was rising but not as fast as they wanted (I can't remember the numbers) but I also had bleeding to signal there was something wrong. I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone! But there have also been other cases of slow-rising hcg that turned into babies, it seems there's just no way to tell yet. No matter what happens we will all be here for you!

Please try to stay strong and take a little time for yourself if you can

 

[gypsymama]

Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I'm pretty devastated, to be honest. I'm a complete basket case right now, but I'm also trying to hold on to a little bit of hope.

Dr wants me to repeat bhcg tomorrow or Thursday and then we'll come up with a plan after results are in. The waiting game is such torture.

 

[Lavochain]

Hi everyone, I was just wondering how you all are? I haven't posted for a little while again. I've got my first midwife appointment tomorrow and I'm scared to say the least.

On another note everyone we have told is convinced that Spud is a boy, so me and OH are probably wrong with our prediction. Is it bad that I really want to use my girls name?

 

[dimmu]

Yesterday I was moaning about lack of symptoms so of course today they have returned with vengeance. Breasts are sore and feeling pretty nauseous. I'm grateful for the reassurance but I do wonder if this is the start of the morning sickness, I had it quite bad with DD.
I'll be 6 weeks tomorrow so I guess the timing sounds about right.

Good luck with your appointment Lavochain, I still have to wait a few weeks for mine. Are you having many symptoms?

 

[TTC74]

I'm wondering the same thing about morning sickness (whether it's going to be bad this time). It wasn't with DDs but that was ages ago. And, so far, I'm only 4+6 and have already had a few bouts with nausea.

 

[dimmu]

I've had quite a few bouts of nausea already, think today's is the worst so far. I suppose there's a good chance it will develop into a full blown morning sickness. With DD mine started at around 7 weeks I think.

 

[babydustcass]

I haven't had any proper symptoms yet but I am still so early so time will tell. I am bloated though, really bloated and that's about it. I'm tired by early evening and struggling with gym sets.
Aside from that I've not had the sore bobs, nausea, ms, not a lot unlike my first pregnancy with ds. But there is still time for things to u turn and I can't remember when my ms started with my dd pregnancy.
I *feel like we are having another boy, hubs guesses boy too. I guessed the gender right with both of mine after just feeling like it'd be.
Chinese calendars do predict me a boy so we shall see

 

[MelliPaige]

I'm so exhausted!! If I can get my son to nap, I think I might join him

 

[tgrich]

Nausea has been very off and on for me that's how it was with my other babies. Just enough to remind me I'm pregnant so I don't mind. I go for another ultrasound next wed just hoping to see a little bean in there. Mellipage I just laid my babies down and was able to get a two hour nap I was so relieved!

 

[Monkei]

sorry i havent posted in here i had my scan yeaterday and saw sac and yolk but i was only measuring 5 weeks when i thought i was 6 +4 so im feeling a little concerned epu have discarged me now to mw care as they said everything is fine. will be having a scan in 10 days time

Much like you my symptoms keep going and then coming back. The one that has stuck with me is tiredness though. I haven't been physically sick yet however I'm getting a lot of heartburn and tummy pains from trapped wind etc. Not forgetting the major food aversions, my tastes change daily!

 

[Miss Bellum]

Evening all, hope everyone is doing well. Pretty good day here, a bit tired and thirsty but nothing too bad.

Wanna-b-mummy sorry you have bad morning sickness. Hope it passes soon.

Babdustcass, I am going to try to keep up with my work outs too. May swap to swimming once I qualify for free swims. All of our predictions came out boy too but we had a girl!

Gypsymamma - Big hugs, hope you get some better answers following the retest. The waiting game is just the worst.

Hi Laovochain! Good luck with your appointment tomorrow. Should be absolutely fine though, first appointment is usually just paper work. With my first, most people suspected a boy. Our 20 week scan was inconclusive but we were told probably a boy and then out popped our gorgeous girl! Not bad all that you would like to use your girl's name. I was pleased to have a girl as I liked all of our girl names but wasn’t sure about boys names.


Dimmu sounds like a rough day hope you feel better soon

TTC74 - I'm wondering too, during my first I only got a bit of nausea during second trimester but I've had few bouts it already. Hope both of us don’t suffer too badly.

Mellipage - hope you were able to get a nap

Tgrich - glad you were able to get a nap. How exciting to have a scan! Hope it goes well.

Monkie - How scary! Glad all seems to be ok with the bean fingers crossed its all ok now
