Lovely scan pic tmb!

Floridamomma good luck for next week. I'm sure all is fine and you will see a little wriggler in there.

I had the worst lower abdominal pain this morning when I got out of bed.. on my right side and deep.. very painful dull ache with waves of smaller sharp twinges. I guess it was a nasty combo of gas cramps and round ligament pain, and I had to lay back down flat doing Kegels to make it finally fade away. Apparently early in 2nd trimester has lots of RL pain... common on the right side. Im just glad it wasnt anything serious

Hey ladies :wave:

Who's hot that big 12 week mark now?! Congrats to you ladies

I'm 10+1 today, baby has reached prune size I have a doctors appointment next Wednesday and I'm hoping to hear the heartbeat on the doppler. The following Monday (the 8th) I've got my dating scan and I'll be 12 weeks that day!

For those moms with older kids. When does school go back? My two older ones go back on Tuesday YAY! I am excited to be able to nap when my toddler naps and not get woken up every 10 minutes with "mom, can I do?".....

How's everyone doing/feeling? My ms seems to be tapering off. I haven't puked in over 2 weeks....still feeling nauseous on and off but not nearly as bad as it was

I thought my nausea had gone but yesterday I threw up my lunch. I feel a bit better today but did gag when brushing my teeth. I'm 11 weeks tomorrow! Yay! 1 more week and I will hit the 12 week mark. My next scan isn't until the 11th September by which I will be 13 weeks. How's everyone else feeling?

 

[swampmaiden]

Im feeling good! My ms is very mild now, just the worst at night when Im in bed.. for some reason I still feel on the verge of throwing up, but its fine thru-out the rest of the day.

Im still really tired all the time, but not *quite* so bad anymore either.

And tomorrow I'll change fruits!! No offense against prunes, but why'd they have to pick such an ugly fruit? lol I noticed theres no strawberries.. I'd take a strawberry any day over a prune.. same size abouts, yeah?

everyone! Glad to see everyone is doing well.

Ive hit the big 12 weeks. I have my dating scan/ultrascreen next Tuesday. Anxious and super nervous. I will also be getting an update on my SCH. FX it is absorbing.

I have been really lucky thus far in the symptom department. No sickness, but I have developed an aversion to the smell of eggs this week. I love eggs

Im planning on making the big announcement next week

Side note: Have any of you ladies been told that your OB wants you to have a dtap and mmr vaccine while pregnant?

 

[Lbrum]

Hey, I'm 11 weeks 5 days so nearly there. Still feeling sick a lot but hoping that should ease a bit soon!

I got my blood test results back and I 'm not allergic to rubella but I was told you can't have the vaccine when pregnant as it's live and can a affect the baby. Why have they recommended it for you?

 

[Lbrum]

Immune not allergic sorry. Brain not working lol

 

[MissJenn_xx]

I have no idea I read the vaccine insert for mmr and it clearly says do not give to pregnant women.. I have only met with the nurse so far. She just said the DR is going to want you to have them. When I meet with the DR on tuesday I will be asking more questions. I am going to be declining both vaccines but I am definitely concerned that they are wanting me to have them. It seemed odd to me so I was wondering if anyone else has been told to get them.

 

[swampmaiden]

yeah that seems weird to get vaccinated for MMR while pregnant... esp with a history of mc.. I dont blame you for declining it.. Im curious what the doctor says too.. are you also going to get a second opinion?

 

[Lbrum]

They just said to me I'll need to have the rubella jab on the ward as soon as I've given birth. I'd definitely ask some questions as to why they want you to have it but it seems crazy!

Hiya ladies,

First tri hasn't been pleasant so I have felt better to just stay or all I would've done was whine & moan!

I hit the big 12 weeks on Sunday but my scan isn't until next week since they were already so full this week due to bank holiday, I came pretty close to booking another private scan because I was feeling so anxious since that 'constantly horrible' feeling had been easing off.

Luckily we sell dopplers at work & I was given one last week. The midwife told me not to use it but of course I immediately used but wasn't able to find the heartbeat. I wasn't devastated, I knew there was a high chance I wouldn't but after a bit of research on tips I went ahead & tried again yesterday morning. And guess what! There it was beating away nice strongly

Oh man, we were both so high on happiness yesterday.

Congrats to everyone still making it this far

Hi ladies. How is everyone? I am 11 weeks 4days now and got my 12 week scan tomorrow afternoon. Can't believe I am almost in to 2nd trimester already!!!

Anyone got any cravings or aversions? I cannot stand the thought of tea which i normally drink by the bucket load!! Also one of only things that stops the nausea is starburst sweets!!! Thought nausea was leaving but back with a vengeance last two days

Can't wait til scan tomorrow. One to check baby is still ok and see him/her properly but second cannot wait to tell my rainbow that she's going to be a big sister!!! Taking her to scan with us x x

 

[swampmaiden]

thats great, kits!! Im so glad you got a hb and are practically in 2nd tri! and seriously, we dont mind any whining and moaning!!!
I too am getting a little paranoid.. I havent had an u/s in over a month, and tho my symptoms are still there and theres been absolutely no spotting (thank god!) Im still worried and want to go get a scan. Im just so paranoid to announce without knowing for sure... but I feel deep down that everythings okay!

smiler, my aversions are starting to go away.. except I still have an aversion to my husbands cooking lol
I still have some mild nausea, but now its just getting hard to not be constantly eating

 

[flou]

Yay ladies for nearly at the 2nd tri!

smiler i too can not stand a cup of tea. And i am also such a big tea drinker but I really don't want it. Its the only real aversion I've had. But i do miss my cup of tea and I hope i will be able to stomach one soon. A friend of mine had it in both her pregnancies and it came back during the 2nd trimester.

Swampmaiden i too am nervous about my next scan. One minute im convinced when I go for my scan in a fortnight something will be wrong. And even though some of my symptoms are easing, i have no bleeding or spotting. So no real reason to think anything is wrong and I'm sure nothing is. But my hormonal and paranoid brain does worry. I am sure we will both be ok.

 

[Smiler79]

Hi ladies well scan was good. Baby bouncing around and waving. It need to be rescanned next Saturday as baby lying in wrong position for them to get any measurements.

Wish I had been filming Imogen's face when she realised what she could see on the screen!! She can't stop smiling and says she is going to be the best big sister ever x x

 

[Smiler79]

Here is baby rees

 

[Tmb0047]

Glad all went well Smiler And so happy your little girl is in the know now! Cute picture. Are you planning to tell more people now or are you waiting longer? Or have you already told? haha...I assume most are being secretive but I guess I shouldn't assume!

 

[Smiler79]

I had told a few close friends and family already but don't think I am going to be able to keep it quiet now my little monkey knows!!!!!

 

[Lbrum]

Yay smiler, such a lovely pic!
