Morning. I got some vitamins over the weekend and I think they've made me constipated. Marvellous. Also, my symptoms have receded mostly so I am trying not to panic.

My vitamins made me REALLY sick!!!

Thank you so much. It's nice to have a little chink of hope. My OH and I can't see the wood for the trees at the moment, and its nice to have a bit of perspective.

That's ok! The way I am viewing the whole thing is what will happen will happen. You can not change it and it's not your fault if something goes wrong. So just try to stay calm and relaxed so LO feels the same! That's the BEST thing you can do for baby!

Hey ladies! This thread is moving so fast!

I have a question for you all: Is anyone else spotting after sex? I know that in most cases it's pretty normal, but how much is normal? And how often? Jeez, this stuff is nerve-wracking!

This tread is flying by lol.
I have noticed spotting after sex. But I notice it's only there at first and then after when I use the bathroom again it's just a bit of brown blood/discharge than that's it. It's very nerve wrecking

I should add, one time I made dh "not go too deep" and I didn't spot at all!

yesss me toooo!!! I was so nervous I went to the hospital they checked everything and th baby seemed fine.... so I go for my first apt tomorrow and i plan to talk to the doc about it tomorrow

Me too - we had sex last night and I woke at 5am spotting and have ahd a further spot on my underwear this morning. I have heard that this is completely normal after sex as the cervix is sensitive.

Keep an eye on it but I wouldn't worry unless it was heavier and crampy.

As for 'not going too deep' - I keep saying that to my OH too (and when he didn't I didn't spot either)!

Morning Ladies, just been catching up as I eat my honey shreddies (for the B12 and and the folic acid amongst other things) and cannot belive how many posts there are since yesterday morning.

Firstly, Loolindly - good luck with your scan today - I really hope you are feeling better and you have a good result. I will thinking of you.

Whoever it was that said about spotting after sex, I asked the dr about it as last time I spotted after sex - she said that the cervix is just a whole lot more sensitive now so I guess the tiny vessels can rupture easily and bleed buit there is no threat to the baby. However, if it is heavier or you have cramps please do phone your GP - no point not doing for the sake of a phone call to ease your mind.

Congrats to all you new ladies on your BFP's, there is a whole bunch of us now isn't there.

As for me, I'm feeling fine physically. I'm ok when I first get up in the morning but then I flake about 11-12 at work and pick up again in the afternoon.

Still very sore boobies which I swear are getting bigger by the day but no m/s for me which I'm glad about. Last time I got it around 7 weeks and my baby had died by then so I'm hoping not to have it at all.

Feeling really worried though today - worried for my little one. They're reaching a crucial stage of development and they didn't make it last time so I am so worried I could cry.

Part and parcel of it all I guess

It is a worrying time - try to relax and take each day as it comes. As wouldluvabub says, there is nothing we can do so the best thing is to relax and enjoy until we know there is reasons not to.

Ok, I've just got back.

I had an internal scan, and she could see the yolk sack, and the baby, but although she said she could see the heartbeat at one point, when she went to show me she couldn't find it again, so it her words "it is coming and going". He has booked me in for another scan on the 3rd (a week tomorrow), and told me complete rest until then.

I don't know what to think. I'm wondering if she saw a heartbeat at all. I wonder if because I O late, then I am not as far on as I thought (I could be up to a week behind what the LMP calculator said), and the heart hasn't developed enough yet. I wonder if because I filled my bladder before hand, then found out that you need an empty bladder for an internal that that's why there was a problem. I wonder if it's all over

Hey loolindly - I'm sure that all is fine. She wouldn't say she had seen it if she hadn't. Plus even if she hadn't it just might not have developed yet if you are earlier than you think. I'm sure that you will be reassured when you go back in just over a week

Hi ladies, can I join please?

I'm not sure of my exact due date because I had long and irregular cycles but I think I'm between 6 and 7 weeks pregnant which would give me a EDD of mid March. I've got a scan next Weds so will know more then

MsCrow - I'm with you on the constipation. It's horrible isn't it? It makes me feel so bloated and lethargic and sorry if tmi but I'm worried that if I strain at all I will hurt the baby My symptoms seem to come and go. One day I have very sore boobs and feel sick all the time and the next day I feel fine. Weird.

I feel the same way about staining and hurting the baby. A few days ago I was quite constipated despite all of the water I am now drinking. I am also eating lots more fruit and veggies and I dont think it has to do with my vitamins because I've been taking them for a few months now and they have never affected me before... I think constipation is just a part of be pregnant.

just got back from the docs got my first appotment in the hospital is on the 12th of august i just want a scan dont belive am pregnant all the same symptoms i had with izzy sooo extreamly tired

Hi Ladies- Had my first scan yesterday at 6 weeks 2 days and saw and heard the heartbeat...music to my ears! I was concerned because I had a loss of symptoms last week but they are back this week! The HB was 123 beats per minute, anyone else get HB rates?

 

[newfielady]

I can't wait to go to my first scan. I go to the doctor on Thursday to find out but he told me it would be around 8 weeks.

Hi all - I've been lurking lately as I've been raging hormonally and didn't want to just post about my rage! I am like the incredible Hulk!

On a very good note I had some followup HCG betas done yesterday and my results were great!

So far:

11 dpo - 55
16 dpo - 578
23 dpo - 10,025(!!!!)

So I am trying to just celebrate the moment today and feel secure that things are progressing in a healthy fashion. I just set up my first scan for August 10th (I should be 7 weeks 4 days) as I wanted to be certain we'd see a heartbeat, but now that I see all of the six week scans with heartbeats I am oh-so-tempted to see if I can move it up!

As for the sex issue - shame on me, but we've been almost abstaining! I had bleeding last time and it was likely wholly unrelated to my m/c but I can't help but worry! The one time we have had intercourse DH didn't go too deep and I didn't have any spotting, so I think we're all finding the same thing here.

well ladies off to the doc ill let you kno how it goes!!!!

Yes I've noticed the same! Once in awhile I think it might be blood and I run to the bathroom to check but nope just CM *phew*
