March 2013 babies

[starlight2801]

Hi ladies, I've been away for a few days and missed so much! I hope that all of you with worries and concerns are ok, please do update us when you can

As for me I'm nauseous as you like and have food aversions to virtually everything. The only things that are remotely edible in my mind are cream crackers, cheese and crumpets. I never had MS or cravings/aversions when I was having Maia so it's, well, different.

Im not seeing it as a negative thing as in a way I'm finding it reassuring iykwim?

I am completely exhausted but my toddler, who was such a good sleeper as a baby, has decided it isn't fun to sleep through the night anymore I've had 3 weeks of constant night waking now do I'm off to the health visitor clinic now for advice as its wearing me down. I'm sure it would be even if I wasn't preggo.

Speak soon ladies x

Oh boy starlight! I'm exhausted, and this is my first... I can't imagine also having an energetic toddler! Good luck

Aww I'm not too worried now I was freaking abit thinking they were keeping something from me. Yes I have my dating scan on the 24th July, as I have Pcos and even though I had an early scan they want to see that things are progressing and give me an accurate date.

I'm back from my 1st midwife appt. Found it a little disappointing if I'm honest. It only took 20mins & was primarily just filling in a form. She checked my BP and weight but that was it. I commented that nobody medical has verified the pregnancy & raised concerns about another miscarriage but she just said 'we trust you, what will be will be, let nature run it's course'. I thought there would be at least something that reassured me that the pregnancy was ongoing. She booked me in again for 3weeks & told me to book my scan in for around 12weeks. That was all. OH was pleased at how it went & so we've fallen out now as he can't understand what my issue is & why I'm still anxious. He says I'm pregnant until proven otherwise. Which to me feels stressful as I won't find out for definite for another 5 weeks.

Just got back from my u/s...the tech originally told me that she would not be allowed to tell me anything because I'm still so early. We had a very relaxed converstation through out the whole thing and she was asking me about my previous losses. At the end of the u/s she told me I was not allowed to tell my dr that she said anything, but she could see the beginning of a baby in my uterus!! She told me that she is sure that she will probably see me in a week or 2 for a follow up scan and that she would be able to share a lot more with me at that point. I was so happy that she reassured me that it was not ectopic that i actually cried!!

Skeet good news
Starlight, when your lo wakes what does she want? a cuddle, a drink, a wee??
I have 3 and the youngest 2 used to tag team. Im shattered which according to the MW is normal when you have multiple children lol

 

[FoxMommy]

Starlight- my one year old has also decided not to sleep through the night anymore and it is super exhausting. Let me know if your doctor has anything useful to say about it.

My thoughts and prayers are with those who are struggling. Even though my last prgnancy was chaotic I am doing a good job not worrying.

 

[starlight2801]

Mummy3ds she seems to just want me when she wakes. She isn't dirty or particularly wet and doesn't show much interest in drinking

The health visitor has suggested staying with her while she falls asleep to begin with (but not cuddling her to sleep) and gradually start increasing the distance so you ultimately just have to open the bedroom door and say something like 'mummy's here, it's ok. Just go back to sleep'. She is arranging a home visit for someone to come and talk through it with me properly

 

[starlight2801]

Ocean Breeze I remember when I was pregnant with DD I was disappointed with my first midwife appointment too

Skeet - that's fantastic news

 

[paula181]

Oh hun really sorry. Hopefully the spotting will stop and all will be fine xx

 

[Sweedot]

That's a bit harsh, I spotted several times In my last pregnancy, brown, the midwives always reassured me...yes, it's true you can't do much to prevent a loss at this stage, but she told me to rest, put my feet up and drink plenty of water and hopefully it would turn out ok and it did.

Remain hopeful, lots and lots of women spot during pregnancy, every time I had an examination I would spot, there was a pool of implantation blood that kept leaking out...for months.

Thinking of you FX all will be ok. xx

 

[skeet9924]

Just got my bloods.. In 6 days went from 258 - 4914

 

[Kelly9]

I'm spotting also, pink/brown watery discharge, never did with my two other pregnancies and I'm freaking out. Got my beta's done today will repeat on thursday. Just praying for everything to be ok. I have an almost 2 year old son, and lost a daughter halfway through last time so this is just so painful to see the pink. Cramping a little with a moderate backache.

They booked me a scan for 5 weeks, would the yolk sac show or would anything show? I also got pregnant 2-3 on my digi this morning at 12dpo usually you don't get 2-3 till 14dpo and my ic was darker this morning, I'm just going to keep peeing on sticks and praying the lines get darker.

I'm so sorry hun

Please try not to give up hope yet. I had two episodes of spotting in first tri with my daughter and everything was absolutely fine.

Take it easy and try to think positive thoughts xx
