Oh ehj, your scan photo is beautiful! Congratulations. So happy all was well.

jGo, I totally understand your worry, but I have had waves of symptoms, and had a week or without symptoms and was worried. I am sure what's happening is totally normal. I am sure if you scroll back, you'll find how worried I was. I was fine on week 4, sick badly throughout week 5 and 6, then suddenly great on week 7, where in parts I felt normal, and I was really worried. I was googling madly, things like "losing symptoms at 7 weeks" and driving myself into a frenzy. Then week 8, symptoms returned with vengeance, and now, into week 9, and everything has calmed down again. From what I have read and heard from doctors and midwives is that symptoms always come and go judging by what hormonal changes are going on. And also, I will add that with my first pregnancy, I felt perfect throughout! I was very lucky, had a bit of fatigue, couple of days of nausea, but was fine. So fine that I would forget I was pregnant and was convinced I wasn't. So please try not to worry, even though I know it's hard as a mama not to And I agree, maybe speak to your doctor and ask for some reassurance! They may give you a scan and that will put your mind at ease

jj, not long and you'll have the Christmas break! Hearing you on the bloat. Thank goodness for xmas jumpers! I have actually lost three pounds in the first tri but my jeans are all sooooo tight and I have been living in leggings and tights with dresses. The baby bloat is real

Well ladies, it's my scan day tomorrow. 10am. I am so nervous but also very excited. With my first pregnancy, I was so petrified, and I didn't enjoy the build up at all. This time I am definitely a little more relaxed. But still of course nervous as hell. Felt a lot better this week. Still have huge aversions to so many foods, very hungry and tired, but I am hoping the all day nausea is long gone! Will keep you posted tomorrow

After looking for a few days and finding nothing, found baby's hb with a Doppler at 9+0! I think I didn't find it until 9+2 with DS. Spent far too long looking. Somewhere around 160bpm. (Using sonoline b)

Hi all, hope everyone is having a good day. I am still having nausea a lot and tiredness kicking in as well, was barely able to move from the sofa today.

Welcome, Nickki Leigh, how annoying about the mix up. Its very hard not being able to tell work colleagues why you might need to lighten the load a bit.

Jamila - great news on the scan

TTC74 - Hope the ultrasound on Monday shows all is well.

Wantsalittleone - At least all seems to be well with bean, fingers crossed the pregnancy progresses smoothly now. Hope the tests all come back fine, how exciting to know the gender so soon.

Laughingduck, hopefully it was just a one off bad day for you

Babydustcass - great scan pic and great measurements.

Not-so-easy - Hope your tests show all is well. Fingers crossed for a girl!

Ehmorrris - so pleased scan shows all is well. How lovely to see it so active as well

Jgo_18 - I sympathise, we don’t get any scans until 12 weeks here either unless you are prepared to pay for a private scan. I have a pre-booking appointment on Monday but that’s just an group introduction to the clinic & how they work. No actual one to one appointments until 11/12 weeks. My first pregnancy was pretty easy with no symptoms until about the 12th week and then only minimal. This one nausea kicked in at 4 weeks and seems to be staying put. I know its easier to say don’t worry than not to though!

Sgirl - Glad you found the HB

 

[jjbuttons]

good luck with your scan!

Anyone had any birth dreams yet? i did last night and baby was a boy and i chose my own bed on the ward- was very odd but brill at same time- my partener kept checking to see if he had a winky lol

will see at 20 weeks if dream was trying to tell me but im really not fussed

energy drop yesterday and backache today two weeks till scan cant wait!!!!!

hope everyone is having a nice weekend xxx

 

[Carlinator]

I'm so nervous. I'm having my Dr appt tomorrow, and pretty sure he'll do an ultrasound in the office. I think I should be 9wk3d tomorrow.

I haven't been feeling pregnant at all, just a little tired...DH says my boobs are still huge and not to worry...but I only had nausea for a week or so then it went away. I keep telling myself I didn't have nausea with DD so I shouldn't worry. I've just had so many problems it's so hard not to worry.

Had a fight with my mom the other day, who I've been pretty much estranged from for a year due to some very serious reasons...and I don't think I can have a relationship with her at all. I know that sounds terrible to people that didn't grow up with abuse; it's hard for me to wrap my head around people who are close with their parents. It's not necessarily the past, but the fact that she accepts no responsibility for her actions, let alone perceive anything wrong with them, and called my feelings ridiculous (I had written her a heartfelt letter trying to reconcile). Her very first response was that she wasn't even going to read it, and "didn't have time for my ridiculous assumptions."

Thanks for listening, I hate to be a bummer. Just really hope I get to see the baby tomorrow.

 

[Hollynesss]

I'm so sorry, Carlinator That is heartbreaking to hear that your mom is acting that way. I don't blame you a bit for wanting to keep your distance. I hope your appointment goes wonderfully tomorrow! I haven't felt pregnant at all this entire time, and I'm 10 weeks.

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

Well, ladies, I have some news. We went for our scan this morning... and was shocked to be told there isn't just one baby... there are TWO in there! No history of twins in either of our families. Just an absolutely shocker and bolt from the blue! To say we are in shock is an understatement. I keep crying, shaking, laughing. I just cannot believe it. They were both measuring great, both one day ahead taking me to 9+6 instead of 9+5. They both weigh practically the same. One hb 171bpm, the other 164bpm. I am so scared. Feel very very blessed, but very frightened! But everything looks great. First midwife apt tomorrow where I can officially register myself as having twins and will then referred for specialist care and to a doctor that deals with multiples. I can't believe it. Here they are (photo of a photo so not that great!)

 

[Babylove100]

Oh wow!!! That's fantastic news!! Huge congrats!!!!! Twins!!!!

 

[WantsALittle1]

wanna-b-mummy!!!!! Congratulations on your double dose of cutie pies!!!

I know you said you are a bit frightened. There are a lot of unknowns for you and that it must be overwhelming in addition to all of the excitement but it sounds like they are getting you over to the right doctor and just take it one day at a time hon!

 

[Hollynesss]

Congrats on the twinsies!!!

 

[jjbuttons]

omg twins congrats hun- scans look lovely x

 

[DandJ]

Yay twinsssss!!!!

 

[Miss Bellum]

Jjbuttons - will be interesting to see if your dream is right or not! I never had any ideas at all with my first. Sorry about the backache

Carlinator - Hope you get a scan tomorrow which can put your mind at rest. It could just be you are having an easy pregnancy. So sorry to hear of your difficulties with your mum. Its tough when what should be an important relationship causes you more grief than joy. From the sounds of it, she is not prepared to make any effort to try to maintain the relationship. I wouldn’t blame you for wanting to cut off contact.

Wanna-be-mummy - Wow! What a surprise! Congratulations on the twins xx

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

Thank you so much ladies A total shock. Feel a bit shaky! Wants, you're so right. One day at a time is definitely the way to go with this! If I look forward to baby groups and double strollers, I start to panic!

 

[2b4us]

Twins...so exciting wanna-b-mummy!

Sorry to hear about your disagreement with your mom Carlinator. I don't blame you for having to cut ties. You've done all you can to make amends and if she can't make any effort to see where you were coming from....well what can you do?...it's futile. Good luck at your appointment tomorrow!

I've my first scan tomorrow. Excited, anxious, nervous and a little terrified. I so want to have confirmation that all is well! I feel like I really haven't connected to this pregnancy yet, as I feel like it will be taken away at any moment. I curse you previous loss!
