March 2013 babies

[Libbysmum]

Hey all, I am new to the forum and expecting baby or babies...have the scan on Monday. I have a feeling there is more than one in there. I already have a very active and heavy 1 year old daughter so am worried about carrying her and what effects this may have on the newbie/s. As she doesnt grip hold of me EVER and is a total dead weight in my arms, plus she is use to being rocked to sleep which is killing my arms and back! HELP

My dd is one as well (as of last Tuesday) and it is exhausting for sure. I had to be in bedrest for two months before delivering her two months early so I'm very concerned about being able to be her mommy. She is so into holding my hands and walking I'm hoping she'll be an independent mover soon so I won't have to carry her in and out of the car all the time! The only saving grace is she is light!?
Could you get a rocking chair and fight her into accepting that as a sleep routine? You could maybe both win that way.

Dannon and Tanja - thank-you! I've also heard that symptoms can come and go, but I can't help worrying...

Dannon - I have had a Dr's appointment - I had an early scan (5 weeks 5 days) since I did IVF. We saw a little heartbeat (pretty much the earliest you can see it), but anything can still happen. It's still very possible to have a m/c after seeing a heartbeat.

Tanja - Yes, we have the same due date! We can be buddies [/QUOTE

Curliegirlie, here is to hope everything is fine with all of us..! It is reassuring to know that it is normal to have symptoms on and off.

Hi Girls, give yourselves a couple of days and your symptoms will probably return. Last week I woke up and felt stressed because I felt just too good... Sure enough, the next day I was back to feeling crap. I'm going thru one day feeling pretty good and the next feeling yuck. I'm sure everything is fine.

Thank you, Bubsta You must be on quite the rollercoaster at the moment then, one day feeling well and the next one feeling rubbish!

I'm still feeling quite normal, apart from the fact that I tend to wake up starving but not really wanting to eat anything... My sore throat and swollen glands sure aren't helping either I think the thing that worries me the most (aside from the cramps) is that my boobs have gone down again - they were my last saving grace in terms of symptoms... Oh well, I'll just have to keep hoping that our little bean is still growing strong in there and, maybe, my body is just really good at being pregnant

Hi all hope everyones well today?
Symptoms today ( well started last night) major diahoreoa not sure if i should contact out of hrs docs as everything is going straight through me

 

[Bubsta]

Ergh, I don't feel well at all... I think getting up at 4:30 this morning (I couldn't get comfortable and couldn't sleep so I gave up) has taken it's toll. I didn't feel too bad around lunch time, but now.... Blah, I think this is the worst I've felt. I don't feel like food at all, but I will force myself because I think it's probably what I need. I'm grateful for you gals to chat to and distract me with your posts. Keep them coming. BTW, I really am an novice at this whole ticker/emotives thing. Embarrassingly, I don't know how to add them... Sooo, I'm 6wks 2days.

Tanja871 & Dannon, I'd love to know how you are feeling over the next day or two. Make sure you update ;-)

Hi Anna, If your symptoms don't improve, then maybe a visit to the dr isn't a bad idea. Keep your fluids up and try and eat (if if it's just dry crackers or toast). how long as it been going on? If it's more than 48hrs, then I would go to the doc. Hope you feel better soon.

Morning how are you all? My sore boobs have gone today but it's left backache in it's place

Went out for a meal and a show with the girls from work last night, (booked before I knew I was pregnant). I was anxious that someone would comment on me not drinking as i don't want lots of people to know yet. I had nothing to worry about, they either didn't notice or were too polite to comment!

I am feeling shattered now though. Back is still aching and my boobs are sore!

I'm anxious about that for next weekend as I'm going to a cocktail party :/ I think I'm going to have to use the old antibiotics excuse but I know if I'm challenged I can't lie very well & will go bright red!! Roll on 12wks+ after the 1st scan so I can start being honest to folk & telling them why I've turned into a miserable, boring, lazy grump-head!

It's awful that we are pressured like this i have a friend who would just know that the Antibiotic thing wasn't real!!!
Luckily for me I had a hen weekend last week which I drank (before i knew i was pregnant), but I was very good about what I drank lol.
I know that's not possible now you know.

There is a carnival in town today.... Is it okay to go on the thrill rides???

I wouldn't go on anything that could suddenly jolt your body or anything with high speeds, fast drops, spinning etc. Personally I'd avoid ALL rides as, in my opinion, it's taking an unnecessary risk. My feet would remain safely on the ground at all times xx

 

[sharnw]

Ocean breeze - I avoided the rides So not worth the risk

I am so ready for bed now... On the bright side... I didnt have the menstral aches today I've had the aches since Af was due.. That was 4 days ago

YAY that's good news!! Must feel a relief

I feel rotten today, grumpier and more tired than ever. I'm disappointed in myself as i've been looking forward to the weekend and now I feel I'm just wasting my day

1 month down and 8 more to go!

 

[rose.]

I've got the alcohol problem this weekend! We are away with friends, managed to get away with it discretely last night but don't know how I'm going to tonight!! I might go with the antibiotics excuse or tummy bug!

 

[rainbows_x]

Feeling very sick today but also very hungry! Craving something greasy! Having a lot of pains today. Was told if they get worse to go straight to the ward. My hcg yesterday was 540 something. x

Glad your aches are gone! Mine lasted two weeks before they went away for the most part. Still cramp every once in a while.

YAY - put like that it somehow doesn't seem very long at all!! I've never ever wished my days away as much as I have over these past few weeks. I've really just got to get on & start trying to enjoy it all but it's difficult. I feel like i've forgotten how to smile since i've been pregnant, even though it's what i've wanted for years!

Good luck Rose! i'll be interested to hear how you get on

I hope the pains ease off for you soon,
