Hello all!

I've been pretty I'll the past few days. Nauseous on and off all day, gagging over the toilet (mostly just saliva and spit but yesterday's lunch did come up!). Blah....

Any of you ladies have tips or tricks to help me out? I've been sipping iced ginger tea which does seem to help a little

Hugs Tmb have your tried sea sickness bands they helped to take the edge off the sickness for me when pregnant with my boys. Eating little and often helped too no big meals. Sucking on ice cubes or lollies. Is there anything that you can think of that makes you think ooo I could just eat that without it making you feel queasy if there is then just roll with it even if its not the most healithiest of foods. Baby will take all the vitamins etc it needs from your bodies stores.

This time for me so far I just feel sick when I first wake but once i've eaten I'm ok. It makes a refreshing change not having to stare at the toilet bowl 5+ times a day like my previous pregnancies. With all but one of my pregnancies (my first) I was on anti-sickness tablets as it got so bad.

I hope it eases soon for you hun.

As for me I'm not as stressy as I was a few days ago I figured that worrying won't change the outcome of this baby and i'd rather enjoy being pregnant and knowing I'm growing a new life then worrying over something that may never happen. I see the doctor on Tuesday so I'm hoping she will refer me for a scan.

In my previous 2 pregnancies I was under consultant led care so was able to go through my consultant to request scans but this time I'm not so I don't have that crutch to rely on.

7 weeks today and my body has really changed shape. My tummy is crazy its so much rounder and looking pregnant I'll be investing in some baggy jumpers once Autumn hits to hide the bump. x

hi ladies.. just trying to hang in there.. got one week left of my 50+ hr work weeks, then back to 25hrs again.. so looking forward to that.. Im exhausted!

So my nausea kinda slacked off a bit, its nearly gone during the day, but still strong in the morning and some at night. Maybe it's cuz Im finally getting over my cold/bronchitus, so my body is now able to deal with all the hormones better? not sure...

Anyways, Im just so happy that I'm making it this far, so far, and so good! This is the furthest Ive ever been without being in a threatened MC.. and everything is going as it should!!

I can completely relate to the feeling that this one may be IT!!!

Swampmaiden we are at the same time in our pregnancies and I have also found im not feeling as sick as i was. I get the odd wave but not feeling as ill. I still have other symptoms. I found out this isn't uncommon at this stage because it takes longer for the hormones to double. So our bodies are able to get used to the hormone levels. Anyway I was glad of it yesterday as I went to a wedding all day and i only had a few moments of nausea.

 

[swampmaiden]

thats good to hear flou

I told my midwife about it too, and she pretty much concurred with that as well.. our bodies are getting used to the hormones, plus the placenta is growing more and more so its starting to help mediate things a bit too. She said the placenta will have completely taken over by 14 weeks

BUT on the other hand... I then went on to spend practically all day feeling really sick and I fell asleep around 2p right in the middle of playing on my phone lol so perhaps I just had some good days this weekend.. who knows? as long as Im not bleeding, Im happy!

Congratulations kits those are lovely scan pictures!

I am starting to get excited about seeing 12 week scans - who is first any idea? Xxx

I had a few days with milder nausea when I was 8.5-9 weeks but it came back a few days ago. I too read that it's normal to get used to the hormone but that it can fluctuate in our bodies so it coming and going is the first sign in it properly going! I hope so lol!

I have my first midwife's appointment in a few hours, don't really know what to expect!

I think kits should be first for the 12 week scan followed by me but it depends if we get them exactly on time. In the uk they can be any time up to 13 weeks 5 days. I'm not sure how it works in the us? I hope mine isn't that late! Keeping it quiet at work until 12 weeks will be pushing it. It's not like you would definitely say I'm pregnant but you would definitely say I've been over indulging lol

 

[Lbrum]

Does anybody have a scan scheduled yet?

 

[Tmb0047]

I'm waiting for an early scan for dating purposes. Will probably be between 9 - 11 weeks....just waiting for the booking call. In Manitoba, Canada they don't do a 12 week scan unless bloodwork shows a need for it. The only routine scan they do here is the 20 week!

 

[flou]

My nausea decided to hit with vengeance again today after a few days of feeling good. I've got my appointment with the midwife on Thursday and apparently she will book in my 12 week scan. I'm teacher so I'm on time off at the mo. I go back to work just before I hit the 12 week mark. I'm hoping I can have a scan before I go back to work as the beginning of September is so busy and I really don't want the time off. But if I have to take it off I will.

 

[swampmaiden]

I dont think I get a 12 week scan either unless I get a private one.. my next official one is the 20 week scan

 

[floridamomma]

I have scan for next week at 10 weeks

Hi all,

reading that your symptoms all disappeared for a few days makes me feel a little better as I haven't really had any for the last day or 2. I have even been really careful with limiting my liquid intake after dinner so I haven't been getting up 3 times a night to pee... never thought I would miss that

I realized after my obgyn went on vacation that we haven't taken a cervix measurement yet With my loss it started with losing my muscus plug and then contractions and my cervix shortening, so this time we were supposed to get a measurement right away so that we could keep an eye on it. I have an appointment again in a week (Aug 19th) to get my referral to the high risk clinic, so I will mention it then. Nothing I can do about it now, kinda shitty.

I'm excited for the upcoming 12 week scans too!

Ladies, I know it's difficult but please try to take care of yourselves. We're so much more vulnerable to colds, etc.

I got one, it's not nice because I can't do any thing about it except rest. Luckily oh made me chicken & veg soup.

Woe is me. Best of luck, loads of

[swampmaiden]

yeah, tell me about it kits .. I've been battling a cold for over 2 weeks now.. just drink your OJ and sleep as much as possible

 

[kits]

Oops.. Sorry for the multiples, phone was acting up.

Get well soon Swampmaiden!! *sniff*

 

[Lbrum]

I've heard it's really common to get colds and viruses. Make sure you rest and get looked after!

I didn't realise not everyone had 12 week scans like in the UK. Over here it's a really big deal cos that's when most people announce their pregnancy, after the 12 week scan.

I had my midwife appointment yesterday and she changed my dates and put me back 4 days. I just don't know how she worked it out, I think she's got it wrong cos my scan at 6.5 weeks measured exactly where I thought I was! I'm not too bothered, except it means my scan will be a few days later which will feel like an eternity! I just want to know the baby's still ok in there so u can worry less!
