March 2013 babies

This is the dreaded Frer i was on about earlier. I have calmed down after realising this was my 3rd pee of the morning and I was up in the night having a glass of water and a cup of tea in the morning. I dont know why we do these things

The good thing is hun it still says you are pregnant. This is why i decided to stop testing as it causes unneeded worry. As if being pregnant isnt stressful enough. Im sure alls fine with your little bean x

So far although I wanted this baby sooo much i'm finding it hard to give up smoking - although have done so with the odd 1 or 2 puffs (never ever full cig!).. Has anyone else found it difficult to stop? Feeling so selfish for finding it hard!

Hi and welcome!! I had to quit smoking when I got pregnant with my first. The first week was the hardest, and then once the aversions, enhanced smells and nausea kicked in, I suddenly didnt want to be anywhere near a cigarette. I was actually really happy the smell of smoke made me sick, it made it so much easier to quit. Good luck! I know how hard it is to stop. Before I got pregnant I had tried 2-3 times and never could do it.

I'm hoping a sudden aversion to the slightest smell of it will kick in soon! My mum experienced this when she was pregnant with me so hopefully! Plus the fact my OH doesnt smoke and hates that I do even when I'm not pregnant - he doesn't understand as he has never smoked! Trying my hardest - its good support hearing from other women who have managed! x

looks good and strong to me I have quit testing I agree it is just added stress
plus my husband would kill me if I bought more test since it has been confirmed by doctor

Hi Ladies... Do you know if we can wear perfumes and lipsticks during pregnancy? Is it safe to use them?

Hi hotchip welcome & Congrats! I'm 32 & having my first too I'm 6wks today & also have my booking appointment next Tuesday!! it's so exciting isn't it, but I'm so, so nervous too. Fingers crossed for everyone!! Xx

Hi Ocean Breeze wow you are practically at the exact same stage as me then! That is brill. What kind of (if any) symptoms have you been having so far? I've been having some brown spotting today, which is worrying me - I'm tempted to make a call before me booking appointment to see if there is anything wrong x x

Hi ladies!

Do you mind if I join you? I got my first real positive yesterday morning. I thought I saw a line the few days before but yesterday it was for sure there. We got our BFP with IUI so I know the exact date of everything. This is how I also found out so early. I go in for my first beta today. This is my first pregnancy so hubby and I are super excited! I was going to wait to join until after but I changed my mind. I look forward to getting to know you all and sharing this time with you.

As far as I know you can... my girlfriend did and she had suffered mc so she was really paranoid. I know you do have to be careful with any creams or facial cleaners that are supposed to help acne. I can't use my cover up because it has the acid in that helps with acne Oh well and excuse to buy new stuff!!


Does anyone know if we can wear bug spray??? The bugs here and at the cottage are horrible!!

 

[sequeena]

Perfume, make up etc are all fine as far as I'm aware. I have never heard of not being able to wear certain things x

Hello My symptoms have been very up and down really - some days I feel lots of symptoms and other days nothing much at all (which sends me crazy!). Mainly i've been extremely tired, unable to focus & in bed by 8pm most days! I've also been grumpy but that's also tetchiness as i'm very anxious. I've got a crazy sense of smell and can smell everything from what seems like miles off!! I've been eating for about 12. I've had some on/off twinges and if I get up too quickly I feel lightheaded. I'm also thirsty all the time and spending half my life on the loo!!

It's all driving me a bit crazy - it's on my mind 100% of the time & every morning I wake up in a panic & have to 'check' everything's ok. I've not had any spotting but i've done heaps of research which all says that it's perfectly normal. I would always get things checked out though myself, i'd rather over-react than not react, but I think (well, I know) i'm a bit (very) OTT about it all!! Have you had any other symptoms? xx

I just got back from my first ultrasound! Everything looked PERFECT!!!

He is measuring a perfect 6w2d. Just like I thought he would. We heard the perfect little heartbeat of 138 BPM which is sooo good for only 6weeks. She said everything couldnt look better. The yolk sack was a nice round shape, the heartbeat was strong, baby was measuring exactly on target. whew. I feel better. Im finally gonna start writing in my pregnancy journal My official due date is March 5th!

Next ultrasound is scheduled in 2 weeks. I love the 8 week ones, because they look like chubby gummy bears LOL

I told her about my blinding headaches, and she said there isnt much that can be done about them. Just to drink lots of water and rest. Hopefully they subside soon. Hope everyone is having a fabulous day!

Congrats bkay! That is great news!!

 

[sportysgirl]

Hey Dannon - was about to reply "sure, no problem!" about the cosmetics and perfume, and then I did a google search... BIG mistake! There's a lot out there saying "avoid this ingredient and that ingredient", but usually, in the studies that have been done, the subject ingested the ingredient orally. With topical use, no ill effects have been seen. Still, I will call my clinic tomorrow, because according to this, none of the products I use are safe anymore! Geez!

Thanks Curliegirlie, I had also not thought about it.. but my DH asked me randomly yesterday if I really could use perfume.. then I got to thinking about lipsticks too because I tend to eat them. I guess I would stop using lipsticks and strong perfumes at least.. and will ask my dr about it when I see him in a week and a half.
