March 2013 babies

To be honest ladies the only reason I get so many scans is because I'm high risk.. I'd rather no be high risk and have a perfectly healthy normal pregnancy and not see my bean until 12 weeks. From experience really early scans cause a lot of fear and leave a lot unknown

i agree! my early scan was just for dating purposes but i was too early for them to estimate apparently i got my due date right though i originally though march 3 but i re calculated to march 11

Yay congratulations

I'm getting fed up of waiting for my scan, probably got another 5 weeks to wait

Me too! Dr wont even see me until I'm 8 weeks and she said most likely she wont do the scan until 12 weeks. Boooo. I know its normal but everyone else has already seen their little beans. I'm so jealous!

I have to wait until at least 12 weeks too! Seems a long way away! x

You're right, it must be worrying waiting for each scan. It just doesn't feel real at the moment.. And I worry every day that I'm going to get to 12 weeks and have my scan and no baby will be there. Just want some reassurance I guess.. As its my first pregnancy I really don't know what to expect.

My next Dr appointment is in ten days. I'm excited

Ladies, when did your ms start? I had it horribly with my first two, for the entire pregnancies. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be like that again. So far I feel mildly nauseous a couple times a day, especially at night and have thrown up twice. Given how bad my ms was in previous pregnancies, I feel so blessed right now but worried that any day it will get much worse.

 

[Mrs. AJ]

My MS started pretty much right at 6 weeks both times. Yuck.

 

[skeet9924]

Mine started just before 6 weeks, but hot worse as it went

Mine started at 6 weeks, same as with my first daughter actually. I'm just over 8 weeks now and I'm not sure if its lightening up a bit, I'm getting better at managing it or I'm having a good couple of days and it's about to turn to shit again. Last time I got better at roughly 12 weeks.
Hope you're going okay

 

[SLCMommy]

My Ms started at six weeks and it gets worse and worse

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Yeah mine keeps getting worse too...I think last time it kept getting worse until 9-10 weeks then eased up a little and was finally gone around 13 weeks.

When is it time to start preventing stretch marks???
Im thinking, im going to start this week if all goes well with my scan tomorrow

My MS started at 6 weeks and is getting worse. I actually dont know how I can deal with this for another month Im so miserable. I cant wait until the 2nd trimester so I can finally enjoy this pregnancy

I so hope that I'm not going to be a late bloomer when it comes to ms. If it stays like this, it would be a miracle for me. With my first I was sick at least 10 times a day for the first half, and about 4 times for the rest. My second pregnancy was slightly better, but not by much. I'm terrified that I'm going to have to suffer again.

Stretch marks, seems that some women suffer more then other women...with my first I didn't bother racing out to buy expensive lotions and got no stretch marks up until the last week or two of my pregnancy...The most of my stretched skin actually came with the C-section cause they use this big metal clamp thing to pull your skin back to get the baby out and that cause more stretches than my entire pregnancy! It was rough! But since faded a fair bit. This time I am using palmers stretch mark lotion (shea butter and vitamin E) I have no idea if the stuff actually works but it sure smells yummy!

I think my ms has really kicked in, this morning I thought I was going to be sick and had to sit down by the toilet i felt so bad, and had a cold sweat. Oh man I know it's a good sign and I'm glad about that but I wish id been more grateful while I didn't have it!

Going out to lunch today with some work colleagues so that's going to be interesting.. Although I'm feeling a lot better than I did

Stretchmarks are mostly genetics.. I had stretch marks long before I ever had children. When i was pregnant i used every lotion out there trying to prevent them. You can lotion up your skin all day long and still get Stretchmarks. Here are a few tips.
1. Keep your skin moisturized
2. Drink plenty of water
3. Try to avoid rapid weigh gain (this is tough during pregnancy)
4. Don't scratch!!

Good luck!

Hello Ladies, going by online due date calculator I am 6 weeks as today (not exactly sure as AF was never regular) I feel fantastic apart from sore boobies which I'm getting used too!! I hope I stay like this! Have any of you went through pregnancy with no ms?? Fingers crossed I can
