June Bundles of Joy - 2016

They would just refer me to the early pregnancy unit who have already said they won't see me unless I have bleeding and cramping.

Thing is lack of bleeding is no comfort when my previous mcs didn't have any bleeding either

 

[karlilay]

I would go to A&E I think. I hope your ok. Xx

 

[AngelofTroy]

Everyone else seems to have lost weight - I've got the awful nausea and tiredness but have gained at least 2lb

I've gained back everything I lost from sickness as I'm eating loads to quell the nausea now.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

It does thanks

Plus I'm not a small girl so plenty of padding and the seat belt was over my stomach, not low down near thr top of my legs and I'm not hurt at all. I think I'm just worried because after 2 mcs in a row we felt like we were up against it with this one. If this ends in mc dh will be sure it's all his fault even though it won't be.

 

[vaniilla]

They should definitely see you, you've been in an accident! I would go to A&E too if they're going to refuse to be helpful

Lil Pixie, when pregnant with Ds1 I was in a motorbike accident and was thrown from the bike bouncing down the road and breaking my collar bone.
Obviously, it all worked out fine. I was about 7 weeks at the time. There is no way that you have caused harm to baby... Please tell DH to relax and everything will be fine. Xx

Thank you so much for this. As a biker dh will appreciate this so much

So sorry to hear you were in an accident Pixie - I agree with what others are saying about baby being well protected but I think it's outrageous that your EPU won't give you a scan for peace of mind, especially after your losses are you in GB or NI?

Boo & Angel, don't forget it's normal to gain up to 5lb in first tri! This is the first pregnancy where I've lost weight, I usually gain about 3lb in first tri.

I have no idea how much I've gained or lost as I never weigh myself unless at the doctor. We'll see when I go to my midwife appointment next week

Oh dear I've already gained 2lb so I have 5 weeks of first tri left hope I don't gain more than 5lb

With my first I gained like 3.5 stone (I was so terribly swollen) and so with my second I checked the guidelines and it says recommended gain in pregnancy for my BMI (21-22 at the start) is 25-35lb. So last time I managed to gain exactly 35lb which was much less than the first time.

I'm aiming for maximum 35lb again. I find I have to weigh myself geralyn because if I don't I just gain and gain that's what I did the first time! Last time I found weighing myself each week helped me keep on track x

 

[Boo44]

This is where I got the recommended weight gain for me from

[Starlight32]

I was underweight pre-pregnancy, so I've been trying to gain weight. As of last week, I've gained about 5 lbs.

 

[Dory85]

Sorry to hear about your accident Pixie. These things are frightening at the best of times.

I don't monitor my weight so no idea how much I've put on but I can't fasten my top button anymore so I'm definitely expanding.

I had another migraine yesterday. I barely get 2 a year but when I'm pregnant they really pick up.

My scan is also on 27th AngelofTroy. Nerves really started to set in last night. My best friend had a mmc when I was newly pregnant with Aaron and it's one of my biggest fears ever since.

 

[vaniilla]

I don't remember when you get your scan date through, is it long after your booking appointment or is it booked beforehand?

Urghhh, Monday tomorrow and the school run begins again, if I could I would sleep all day!

 

[mommyxofxone]

vanilla depends on the office. My old office didn't even do scans, i had to go elsewhere, and only gave me a 12NT scan, and the 21 week anatomy as options.

This one, i had one at 8+2.


pixie i'm so sorry to hear about the accident!!! hope everything is alright hun, did you wind up going to a&e?


afm- nothing much to report. constipation is a killer though, i didn't have this with dd, not this bad anyway ugh. anyone else going through this?

 

[joo]

Vaniilla where i am the midwife rings and books it while you're with them at your booking in appointment, but i have seen other ladies in the UK say they get their scan appointment through the post.

 

[Starlight32]

I've has constipation too

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Sorry to hear about the accident pixie! Did you end up having an early scan?

I think you can take things for constipation like fibregel and lactolose? X

 

[Dory85]

Here it it's the booking appointment that the midwife fills out a referral to your chosen hospital for a scan. The date comes through in the post a couple of days later.

One of the doctors at work outright asked me if I was pregnant today and nearly fell over when I said I was only 10 weeks. I'm excited that I have a bump but terrified at how big it will end up!

 

[mommyxofxone]

Ugh starlight I'm sorry you have it too! Awful isn't it? So uncomfortable!!!!
