March 2013 babies

[hope2bmum2b]

Hi
I think im about 7 weeks preg was trying for this baby for almost a year, i also have a son that turned 2 3 days ago. With this pregnancy i feel somethings wrong i constantly have a sore stomach (not over the top pain but a niggly annoying pain) and am just wondering if its normal just because my first pregnancy was so nice

Hello
I am not really an expert as this is my first (although my second pregnancy).

My doctor said that as long as pain is not severe and there is no blood then it should be ok.

But if you are worried then might be worth speaking to the doctor about it.
Mine gave me an early scan as I was so stressed - esp after last time.

Feeling some stretching etc must be a good thing though right?

your lucky to have had an ealr scan,i had a mc last year and have been sooo anxious , my doc could see that so he said i could get one but then my midwife said no unless theres a problem, which i dont want there to be thats why i want an early scan as last time theres was no hb and bean had stopped growing a month before i even knew!!!!!
am feeling positive but hating this wait. will feel better once all these initial test are out the way too. and my 12 week scan date comes through.

trying to be calm-i would go with the same, if the pain is not severe and in one place and no bleed it could just be things moving around..you'd be suprised how early they do.

OMG, do these mood swings get better? I didn't feel like it wasn't too bad for the first couple of weeks but all of a sudden in the last 2-3 weeks... one minute I am fine, the next I am so freaking angry over nothing at all.. the next I am sobbing and miserable.

I feel bad for my DH who is the person who sees/hears the brunt of it... maybe not so much the anger but the rest.

Everytime I get emotional I get really angry/sad/upset over the miscarriage we had (at 4.5 weeks) in May. Then I get mad at myself for being upset about losing that baby... I feel like I should just cherish this baby and love it and be happy (which I am.) I realize it is two separate things, that we've been through a lot (married in april, miscarriage in may, pregnant again in june), and that my hormones aren't helping any... but wow.

Thanks for listening, I am having a tough morning and just needed to vent.

I had very uncomfortable stretching pains with my second. It would take my breath away a few times, and this was before I even knew I was pregnant with my son. It was the first thing I asked my doctor who said it was totally normal. Pregnancies really can be completely different for the same woman.

I have been having these too... called the Dr about them early on (back when it was more like period type cramps) and asked the Dr about them at my appointment last week. They are now different from period pains, they seem to only come when I move fast, a certain way, sneeze/cough hard, etc... they are sharp, and fleeting. I was told it is completely normal and that it is "round ligament pain" aka everything stretching as my uterus moves/grows.

It is still scary though!

Hey girls! Just popping in to say hi... Even though I feel sick, somehow, then pregnancy still doesn't seem real! I guess when the belly starts is when it feels more real. I booked my NT scan for my 12 week appointment. Does everyone do the 12 week testing? My doctor just told me to book it and it will give me peace of mind, but I don't know if everyone gets them.

 

[skeet9924]

Curliegirl- I'm personally not getting the testing. A lot of the times the test tell you there is a chance of your baby having the problems. I just don't want to worry ., if my baby has down syndrome I won't get rid of it ..

 

[Mrs. AJ]

I've actually been offered a new test instead of the NT testing. It has only been on the market for 2 weeks and is only available to women who will be over 35 at delivery. It is a blood draw from the arm but somehow captures fetal dna so they can detect with 99.9% certainty any chromosomal abnormality. I won't get an ultrasound with it though, but that's okay.

 

[Curliegirlie]

I'm getting some chromosomal abnormality testing done with blood as well - don't know if it's the same thing, since I'm under 35. It could be the same thing, since different regions have different rules about this sort of thing.

 

[Mrs. AJ]

There is a blood test that is done in conjunction with the NT scan, but that is different than the new one.

 

[stacirene]

I haven't posted in awhile, but I wanted to check in and let everyone know that every thing is ok. Also, the baby is right on track.

I saw my doctor for the first time today and he said my bloods came back perfect except that i'm anemic. (spelling??) The doctor said that as long as I stick to his high protien, low carb diet everything will be fine.

Also I had an ultrasound back on July 17th just to check and see if baby was messuring right. I've attached the picture. The ultra sound tech said there was only one baby, even tho it looks like maybe two. [At least to me. Lmao.]

[Aimee.gee]

Thanks so much everyone! Makes me feel alot better knowing its all normal (here i was over exagerrating thinking i was going to miscarry ) with this being my second pregnancy i thought it would be alot easier as everything should be stretched lol i also have not gone to see a doctor or obtertrician and just went dirrectely to my last midwife (independant midwife) so there will be absolutely no scans for me i want to find out the sex so am wondering if anyone has used the intelligender test to find out the sex? And if so how accurate are they? Thanks

Hi Everyone,
I'm due on March 1, 2013. I've had a lot of nausea (no vomiting), dizziness, and malaise pretty continuously since about six weeks. I've had a really difficult time with this and am really worried that I will never feel better again... I am 10 weeks and 2 days now and feel worse than ever these days. I have not been able to function as I normally would...Sorry to come here and complain. Can anyone offer any hope?
I hope everyone is feeling great or will feel great soon. I didn't know pregnancy was so hard.
Thanks guys...

Wish I could offer you some hope, but my MS started in full force yesterday. Nauseous mostly the entire day, and throwing up once or twice a day (it is, actually, usually in the morning--for once it actually lives up to it's name), and am dizzy easily. I notice that I get the most nauseous when don't eat enough or eat too much. I was feeling pretty good going into dinner tonight and just had a microwave frozen chicken dinner...made it through the chicken, a bite of mashed potatoes and a bite of corn before I was hit with the nausea again so...stopped eating. Guess it was just too much!

But, in the morning, it doesn't matter what I eat. Yesterday it was cheerios, today it was toast. Can't get much more bland than that. I figure I might as well just eat, throw up, and get on with my day. Ha!

[Reyesfam]

I go for my six week ultrasound tomorrow. I am terrified because I went last week and she said it was too early to see anything besides sac and placenta. My lasxt pregnancy ended as a blighted ovum so I am afrais this one will be the same. She said not to worry because everything looked normal. I hope we can see something tomorrow.

Welcome to the new girls

Good luck for your scan! I'm going to try and book a private one for next week, I'm desperate to know that everything's ok so I can tell our families so think it will be money well spent!
