March Mama's! 2012 :) - 33 pink , 24 blue and 17 yellow bumps! 33 Babies!!

So far no sickness but yesterday on the way home I had to stop at a rest stop and take a nap because I was so tired I was afraid I wouldn't make it home safe. That could also because I'm only drinking one cup of half-caf coffee instead of my old normal two cups full-caf.

I showed my husband the developing embryo for our new week and he said "It looks like a mutant alien" I told him it's perfect the way it is. I'm sure when we get our 12 week scan he'll see it and change his mind about our mutant alien.

What are you ladies doing for exercise?

Hey hon...just wanted to say my friend had absolutely no symptoms with her first preganancy and was really doubting that she actually was!! Went for her scan and surprise, surprise saw a little baby bobbing around!! Just because you don't have many symptoms (a=or any at all!) does not necessarily mean anything is wrong I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for tomo...let us know how it goes! xx

Hi all. Very glad that I found you all here. Thank you for the link. My due date is March 10th.....but I'm very nervously expecting. My 46th birthday is next Friday and this was a complete SHOCKER! Even after the first scan....I still couldn't believe that I could be pregnant. I kept asking the doctor to make sure that it wasn't cancer. I have lots of risks with a blood clotting disorder....and two previous losses....one, my daughter Emily in the second trimester. Everything scares the heck out of my right now....and I'm trying not to read all the negative statistics on the Internet!! Lots of love and prayers for a healthy and happy pregancy to you all.

HI to all the new ladies!

I've had a busy day, but apart from a few twinges in my belly, my symptoms seem to be having a day off. I hope thats all it is?! My appetite has finally come back, so we have some pizza for tea. Yummy! I know its crap food, but it's the first thing I have fancied in ages!

My doctor put me off exercise. I told him all I really wanted to do was go for a little walk with my puppy and he said "wait until you're at least 8 weeks". Which he thinks is weeks away but I'm hoping the scan tomorrow proves me right.

Was there a reason why your doctor told you not to be exercising? I cleaned the house and took my dog for a walk yesterday, so I was pretty busy. Should I be taking it easy? My first doctor appointment is on Wednesday so I haven't been given any advice on exercise yet.

Hi Ladies! Hope everyone is doing well! Glad to find you all in the GROUPS now lol! I had a little more spotting yesterday...the OB says not to worry about it but I can't help it! SO I called up a private scan place and got in for an appt yesterday. They only do trans ab ultrasounds so the results were less defined, BUT there is growth! We think we saw a heart beat flicker but we could not pick it up clearly. Here is a pic of this week's scan:

and last week's scan:

So I am feeling better. The private scan was only $30 so I think I might go back towards the end of this week and get one more done before I am out of town for a month. Leaving for so long is making me nervous :-X

Well I had a m/c last month so I think they may have had something to do with it. But in his opinion he thinks women should take it easy the first 8 weeks. Something to do with how it's an important time for the growing fetus and m/c rates are so high. He also told me not to lift anything heavy (Which I'm sure we all know) and to not work more than 6 hours a day. I still go for short walks, I can't stand to just sit around all day.

My doc told me complete rest until I have my scan on Wednesday. She even put me off work. I don't think exercise is a problem, unless they think there could be a problem if you know what I mean. They are just being cautious.x

Flaneuse - are you definitely 6+4 when you had your scan yesterday? I'll be 6+5 when I have my second scan on Wed, and I was really hoping they would be able to see the heartbeat this time...

 

[Flaneuse]

Not 100% sure loolindey! Plus that was a tran abdominal ultrasound which isn't going to be the most sensitive/detailed. I am sure if you have a transvaginal ultrasound you will see and hear a heartbeat!

how odd, I've been eating lots of salt n vinegar hula hoops lately... But I've never liked SandV before!! Didn't think much of it till now , isn't it too early for cravings??

On another note, had no idea cud use a Doppler so early either but I guess why not!!

My scan is at 11:15 tomo morn and I feel ok... This is going to sound awful... Butt convinced its going to b bad news so been preparing myself all day... I dunno.. I guess I just feel the same as when I found out I was MC'ing
I will update u all tomo.... X

Night night all xxx

 

[Flaneuse]

I've got my fx that everything is great at your scan tmrw!! No, it's not too early for cravings! I've been getting them since last week, for things that I usually never eat like Italian club sandwiches, pizza, starchy things.

 

[MsCrow]

Well blow me, here's the thread. I had a little panic.

Firsttimer I will keep my fingers crossed for you and hope it's all ok.

On exercise, I really, really want to go back to the gym. I had planned to the week I got pregnant, since I found out, I've been sort of scared to. But, I walk, everywhere and this weekend we've been digging over a new allotment. I'm bodily exhausted. Surely a small jog would be ok? I guess I'd better wait to see the booking in nurse to ask...

 

[Flaneuse]

MsCrow I think as long as you are feeling good and not spotting, you can exercise all you want!! I was totally hoping to keep up with my running and yoga but with my spotting I've taken a break. Hopefully I can pick it up again in a few weeks.

 

[wouldluvabub]

I read somewhere while pregnant you can exercise as much as you want as long as you are still able to hold a conversation while doing so. If you can't talk properly through puffing you are going to hard.

 

[MiissMuffet]

Hi I'm due 11th March

 

[wouldluvabub]

I have a question for you ladies. Ok so I am in my 7th week of pregnancy and I was wondering if anyone else can 'feel' their growing uterus. Not like feel it from the outside as I know it is behind your public bone at this stage but I mean internally feel it..??

I read that at 7 weeks the whole uterus should be around the size of lemon I think it was.. And I swear I can feel it.. Ha ha sounds like I am growing crazy.. but I guess it makes sense. Like if you had a lemon floating around inside you surly you could feel it if you were paying attention...

Maybe I am just going crazy lol.. I am not saying I can feel it from the outside.. Only on the inside..

 

[MiissMuffet]

Flaneuse - are you definitely 6+4 when you had your scan yesterday? I'll be 6+5 when I have my second scan on Wed, and I was really hoping they would be able to see the heartbeat this time...

hey hun, i saw a 7mm baby and a heartbeat at 6w5d. not abdominally though we couldnt see it, had to go internal (vaginally). goodluck!
