March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

im sure this has already been discussed but is anyone else dealing with horrible taste in mouth all the damn time? not just metallic but just bad taste all together.....any solutions or tricks or tips?

Horrible tastes and smells for me. . . sadly not heard or read anything, Ive just been munching on plain things like cheese crackers and digestive biscuits, they kind of help at the moment. It changes all the time though. Absolutely fed up with it, sickness and tiredness is hardwork as it is but this on top. I can't sit and relax as everything just tastes or smells gross!

PS Hello everyone, found the new March thread.
 
Hey all

Have had a fall this morning whilst going up the stairs this morning and landed straight on my belly :(
Been docs n they found babys hb on the doppler but not overly happy so am being rechecked by midwife this afternoon, really wanted to be checked at hospital . If midwife isnt happy thou they will scan me.
Hubby has taken the day off work today to look after me n come to the midwife too.

Oh no! I hope you feel better later and all checks out ok :hugs: x
 
HI Ladies

FINALLY today is SCAN DAY!!

Mixed feelings. Last time we got to this point blighted ovum was discovered. :cry:

We know it wont be the same this time as we already saw LOs HB at 6 week scan but still feel a little anxious.:shrug:

Also, at the 6 weeks scan she said I was measuring a few days less that I thought (4 or 5) but my dates don't have much margin for error so have been a little worried something was wrong... hope LO has caught up and had a growth spurt!

Hopefully I will be sharing a cute little photo later...
 
Anna: hope everything is okay, my friend fell when she was pregnant and all was okay, well she was brusied but baby
Was fine! just remember lo is in a big protective sac of fluid, get your feet up and rest. :hugs:

Tryingtobecalm: good luck with your scan :flower:
 
Anna, how scary... good thing things are checking out okay so far, that DH is staying home to look after you, and that they are following up closely. :hugs:

Tryingtobecalm... good luck with your scan! I can't wait to see the pictures! (I know how nerve wracking scans can be after any kind of loss. Try to just remain calm and positive, as hard as that is.)
 
:hugs: Anna, hope everything is ok!

Good luck for the scans girls :)
 
Hey all
Had bubs checked on again this arvo n they finally managed to get the heartbeat as my little monkey kept wriggling!
So glad alls ok :)
 
And my little monkey has just moved properly so i could feel it :)
 
Hi ladies, I am new to this thread but used to be on this forum a lot before I miscarried in April. But I am back Now due on march 18th, and so far eveything is looking good.
 
Hi ladies, I am starting to worry.
Yes I know that all pregnancies are different but I can't help but remember around this time my last pregnancy I felt so many flutters and even light taps from my baby and this time around I'm not feeling ANYTHING. Granted last pregnancy I didn't start showing until my close to 7 months but this go around it seems like I'm actually getting smaller. I'm no longer sick with MS so I'm eating more but I don't know I just feel like something is wrong and I'm trying to hold on until my appointment on the 20th.
 
Ipretti is it possible your placenta is at the front?
Like you have said all pregnancies r different. I only just felt my 1st proper movement today n my placenta is at the front. Baby is still really tiny hun. Im sure alls ok xxx

Thanks Anna, I need all the encouraging words I could get. I don't think my placenta is in the front because I'm sure that's something they would have spoken to me about at my last scan appointment. I'm just going to continue to pray that all is well and hold on until my appointment next week.
 
It such a difficult time between the 1st scan then waiting for movements isnt it.
Ive been so worried for this last week but turns out babys doin fine :)
Just look forward to your next appointment and hearing that heartbeat again. Xx
 
Had my first midwife appointment today, didnt get to hear the heart beat as she said may not pick it up check. But i got some blood taken, my weight and height and few questions was there for an hour oh and a pee test.

Ryan did make the effort to come with me and i had to explain that we where now not together as she said oh ryan is your partner. I just looked at him holding my tears back and said we just broke up. She asked if he was going to be here through the pregnancy and help with the baby and i knew his answer. He did say yes.

so all is good so far. Oh i did get a book to read and somethings to fill in like a healthy start where i get milk fruit and veg voutchers :d and at 29 weeks i should get something to fill out so i can get 500 pound :D i was happy to hear this because i have low income and it would be handy for the buggie and cot.
 
Iprettii, they may not have mentioned an anterior placenta even if you have one -I had one last time and they didn't mention it at my 12 week scan, I didn't find out until a scan at 17 weeks. Could you buy, rent, or borrow a Doppler? Might put tour mind at ease.
 
Hi all, not been on today and had a few pages to catch up on.

Anna - I'm sorry about your fall, must have been scary for you. Very happy that everything is ok with your bubba. Also yay for feeling a definite movement, I'm still waiting for mine but I occasionally get the odd thing that I think might of been peanut :)

Iprettii - I'm sure everything is fine with baby, but if you are really worried I would suggest getting checked out before you go for your standard appointment if for nothing else to out your mind at rest. Or as someone else suggested getting a doppler to try and find the hb yourself.

As for me, I went in for my suture today. It all went pretty well, I'm sore still in the lower tummy from my cervix being pulled about and now have some spotting which is normal and hopefully will only last for a few days. I plan on keeping my feet up for the best part of this week now. Wish I could feel peanut move or hear the hb so I know he/she is ok in there, I might have to invest in a doppler to put my mind at rest, as I don't have another appointment for 2 weeks now! Hope everyone else is doing ok, sorry if I've missed anyone asking a question!

It was a weird feeling like i was being prodded from inside like he/she was assuring me they r ok in there. Am pleased i felt it But as my placentas at the front i know it maybe a while til it happens again.
Glad all went well with your suture and glad your going to get lots of rest for this week! I have a cervix scan on the 25th oct to see if i need one.

Good luck with the scan and don't forget if you're in any doubt about what they say, make sure you stick up for yourself and insist they either do the stitch or give you a second opinion. I'm sure they're giving you the scan because they're already prepared for the chance you might need one, but just in case they umm and arr about it!! I've been there and I'm glad I stood my ground about it.
 
Scan went great!!!

Baby was moving - HB going - all present and correct! :happydance:

Soooo relieved after trying to prepare ourselves for the worst after last time. DH has to get his head round the fact we ARE actually having a baby now! :haha:
