I’m 29 with 2 kids at home 9 and 6

Nausea is still hammering me I spend all day either feeling sick because I’m hungry or sick because I’ve ate, I’m eating little and often but portion size doesn’t seem to matter I still feel sick afterwards, exhaustion hits me come 7-8pm every night but I feel fine all day so that’s not too bad. I’m finding it so much harder this time around

I’m 31. I 5yr old DD at home. 3 losses.

I’m feeling alright at the moment. Still tired but not as exhausted. Acne is gross. Allergies are gross. I get queasy if I’m hungry or hot.

First OB appointment today. Saw baby quick on a handheld ultrasound. Saw the heart beating. It was chill relaxing with its little legs crossed lol. They took like 8 vials of blood. Had to stick me twice...but I should know baby’s gender within 2 weeks! I did the sneak peek at 8 weeks which said girl, but I don’t trust it 100%. Doctors test will be near 100%. Scheduling a gender ultrasound for 16 weeks. I’ll know gender, but I’m bringing DD. She won’t get to come to anything do this will be a way to get her involved and then she can tell everyone gender’

My 3rd pregnancy was awful for sickness. I ended up on anti sickness medication at 13 weeks as I couldn’t take it any more. If it’s really affecting you definitely chat with your dr about it. Mine told me I should have come earlier and not just suffered. I am so hoping it’s not worse this time.

sorry you’re feeling horrendous though

I haven’t actually been sick though so not sure if they would do much, I’m praying it’ll ease off within a couple of weeks. I tend to go a few days of feeling rough then have a few days of feeling really great so far I’m on day 4 or 5 of feeling rubbish so I’m probably due a few days off soon

I wasn’t sick at all either, sorry I should have said nausea rather than sickness. The dr still classed it as HG as it went on so long (until 28 weeks) even though I wasn’t sick once.

I hope yours eases ASAP, but if not you don’t have to suffer, they can give you meds to help you if you feel you’d like it x

 

[MrsKatie]

I don’t get much nausea, but I have these bouts of gagging. It’s Intense and a bizarre sensation and it’s pregnancy-specific for me. I’m gagging then starving but nothing sounds good.

We never found out the sex of the baby before birth, and we won’t this time either.

@KylasBaby so exciting you saw that sweet little bean!

@doggylover army days is right! Have you called to make appointments? I was superstitious and hesitant but now that I’ve done that I feel way better.

@alex_22 so sorry you’re feeling so bad. I hope it passes soon!

hi to anyone I missed!

 

[doggylover]

@MrsKatie, no not yet. I was kind of assuming when I spoke to my dr today and said I was pregnant they would do the referral to the hospital for me then. I can’t self refer, and my care is hospital led, with some community appointments with a midwife at my doctors surgery.

we’ve also never found out gender before the baby arrives, and won’t this time either. I’m already convinced it’s a boy though!

 

[tdog]

@MrsKatie this is my 7th pregnancy lost my 1st at 9 weeks but 5 living kids at home ages are 15 8 6 5 and 13 months we have decided not to find out sex have a feeling its a girl, that being said I thought my 4 year old was a girl xx

 

[MrsKatie]

Well I just wiped and there was brown blood I am so worried.

 

[MrsKatie]

So of course I got the tests from DH and took a couple... they are way darker so I am holding on to hope. Ugh the first tri!!

The midwife on call was not awesome, she just kept saying “oh well it’s sooooo early” like that was supposed to help.

 

[MrsKatie]

Here are my tests, I think 13dpo.

 

[MrsKatie]

Ok they’ve dried super dark. Feeling way better.

They are looking nice and dark lovely brown spotting can be normal lovely I no easier said than done but try not to worry, I spotting red blood with my 4th and 5th xx

 

[doggylover]

Oh no @MrsKatie. That must have been, and still be, so worrying. Your lines look great though!

First tri is such a headache of worry. Toilet Paper inspection at its highest point!

 

[doggylover]

Oh and why do health care professionals always dismiss worries in these early weeks? With my miscarriage I went to the dr as I was spotting a LOT, and she was also a bit like "well 1 in 4 don’t make it so..."

so callous. I know they see it a lot, but how can they forget it’s someone and their baby they are saying it to?

They sometimes don't give 2 hoots as you say they see it alot but each woman is different and react differently they supose to be in that profession to help people not talk down to them xx

@MrsKatie the lines looks great! I had brown spotting at 4 weeks, on & off for a day or 2 then stopped.
Thanks for the camping tips! Yes I've packed lots of snacks it's a long drive, 5 hours! There will be an expectation of alcohol definitely but I'm not a huge drinker anyway so I bought a few non-alcoholic beers just to throw them off, I'll pour into a glass I guess!
@KylasBaby That's great you got to see baby, it'll be lovely to bring your DD to a scan for the gender!
I didn't find out with my DS and did with my DD, I definitely want to know this time!
@doggylover same happened to me after an early loss, doctor just was so matter of fact about the 1 in 4 and didn't seem bothered about how upset I was at the time

 

[MrsKatie]

Thanks everyone so much. I am so grateful for this group. When I compare today’s tests with yesterday’s I feel even better. Especially cause today was from like a 20-minute hold at most.
