i am so excited-yesterday i felt almost normal as far as ms and energy levels go-I got so much done and was able to eat some healthy vegetables! i'm a little sore today (i mowed the yard for 2 hours last night) but already i am still feeling OK, not sicky. I really hope that the MS is gone, it really puts a damper on everything. my boobs feel huge, i wake up in the middle of the night because they're in the way (i sleep on my stomach).
has anyone else had or heard of only having morning sickness for 3 weeks or so?

Hi all, just after a bit of help please? Has anyone been getting pains in one side? It's sort of a couple of inches down from my belly button height, but does radiate down a little. It's been coming and going for a few days, and feels like a dull stitch type pain.

Does anyone else have anything like this? I'm thinking it maybe a cyst but I dunno why I've not had a scan or anything yet but I'm due to meet my mw a week tomorrow

Thanks in advance! Xx

My ms has pretty much gone now. I do feel queasy in the mornings until I've eaten, but that's pretty much it

i THINK im beginning to get nausea too... seems to be in evenings. I thought i felt a bit off last night... tonight i defo feel nausea. Looks like evening nausea is heading my way ...however, as i wished for it, i guess i shouldnt complain... but i will

Sorry to tell you this but thats how it started for me too. I started to get evening nausea but then it has slowly progressed to anytime nausea. I won't say its all day nausea yet as I've just been eating a little throughout the day to keep it at bay. I haven't thrown up yet but been pretty close at times, yuck. Hope this means everything is nice and healthy.

I had these from the beginning until around 7 weeks or so. When i went in for my dating US the tech said i had two cysts on my one ovary but that it's completely normal as your hormones are going crazy. They have since gone away, and there were a couple of times i stood up fast and i swear i felt them burst.

Hey everyone! Not been on in a while, tried to read through everything but this has become such a large post I think I missed a lot. Sorry about that.

Just a quick question, to all the mums to be who work, how have work been with you if you have told them. I have my first midwife appointment on 17th and work are being very 'ok' about it, but I can see they're all annoyed with me, Also I ad a day off a couple of weeks ago because I was coming over very dizzy and did not want to risk getting out of bed let alone up to the third floor of my office and they're now saying they want me to go to the doctor to get something to prove I was off due to a pregnancy related issue.
Has anyone else’s work been funny with them at all, I'm considering joining the union and everything just in case they do get really funny with me I actually work for a huge company who works for the local council so I never thought there would be any problems.

I had my scan today! It's official... I'm due March 17th!
I'm hoping I will be a little early, March 9th, because that is my mother's birthday. Would be very sweet!

As of today I am 7w4d

 

[firsttimer1]

Firstly welcome newbies, will add u to list after I've written this post

Sandy28- March 9th is my b'day... Great day to have a baby ha ha

pooch - I've defo heard of just 3/4 weeks of sickness. In fact a few people I've spoken to said they were only sick around 3 weeks (usually wk 7-10) so think its normal!

Kayleigh&bump - I had one sided left hand side pain, when I had scan there was nothing to worry about

LOolindey- I was thinking of u today at work and as soon as I got in I rushed on here congrats!!! U saw a hb, that's Brill! And dont worry so much esp if baby measured fine. Also was it an NHS scan? Some older machines they.use dont give accurate hb readings this early so dont panic. Getting a follow up scan is great as u get to see baby again! Also u asked about my bleed - when I had my scan the lady asked had I had brown blood ( I hadn't mentioned it yet); and when I said yes she showed me a dark patch and said it was old blood from implantation bleed and to expect bit more (which I've had). Due to position of implantation the blood has had a long route to come out
Did you find where yours was from?

Hope everyone else is well? And congrats on scan crowned... Its a good news day

Congrats Natasha!!!! My scan was was just moved from next week to this Friday! I am a little excited but in all honesty, more scared!

I should be 6w6d so I am hopeful we see some good stuff.

What a relief for you! ENJOY the feeling!

 

[kayleigh&bump]

Thanks Hun. I've gotta drop in a urine sample to the drs in the morning to rule out a uti. The pain moves from round the front to right round to my back hopefully it's nothing to worry about, the stupid dr has freaked me out loads though, he kept going on about miscarriage

I am so sorry to hear your work has been giving you grief. I am hopeful you can just get the notes you need and get them to pipe down.
I have not shared at work at all and I am a little nervous about multiple doc appointments, but thankfully there were very kind last time (it ended in m/c) and no one ever asked and respected my privacy.

Hoping they come around and do the same for you. I am sure laws are different in England than the US, but sounds like it wouldn't hurt to be on top of what your rights are in case you need to remind them.

Best of luck!

I've only told my line manager in case anything happen at work and, well I thought, it would make it easier for doctor appointments and things. I have had a previous M/C but not while working here, and just wanted to make sure someone here knew what was happening just incase it happened again. I don’t think it helps that my team already has one off on Maternity leave, another who is 13 weeks gone and one who is openly going through IVF. I have a 1-2-1 meeting with my manager tomorrow so I am going to go over everything with him, like what paid leave I get while pregnant and maternity leave and things. I also have a document at home I printed out that is our company’s maternity procedure.
It’s all just one more stress I don’t need. Hopefully it will all be ok though.

Hi girls. Thanks for your warm welcome. I had an appointment for Daniel at the hospital this morning which went really quickly (and well) and I thought sod it, I'm going to go to EPU as I've been worried about pains I've been getting on my left side. So I did! Symptomless me saw a heartbeat and a CRL of 5.7mm which she said was a little smaller than my dates (by 2 days or so) but said she'd keep my dates until 12 week scan. I'm so delighted. I know that the next few weeks will be critical but it is such a relief to know that all is in the right place and progressing as it should. Also the pains I've been getting in my left side are due to a cyst and it is the side I ovulated so that was good to find out.

And would you believe it, brown spotting started afterwards. Now for me this happened all the time during the 1st trimester with my son so it didn't freak me out. Possibly would have done if I hadn't had my scan though

Loolindley - Glad your scan went well today too. What was the CRL? My sonographer didn't tell me the bpm either but I could see it pounding away. They don't do it at my hospital, didn't do it last time too. I only found out during my midwife visits from 16 weeks but as long as you have a heartbeat, that is the main thing. Plus, enjoy putting your feet up for the moment and make the most of it. Sitting in the garden sunning yourself

Kayleigh - I have written back on your thread as they found a cyst with me today and I was wondering what why I was getting pains on my left side. It is also the side that I ovulated. If you are really concerned then just ask advice from docs/midwife.

NatashaZ/crowned - Glad scan went well.

Littleandlost - Try not to worry yourself about work at the moment. Seriously can't believe that they are making you feel guilty about being pregnant. There are laws to protect you and you do not owe them anything. You just look after yourself. I would defo join the union. I am a teacher and my council tried to stuff up my maternity scheme and the union really stepped up and I got what I was entitled to.

I'm so sorry to all you nauseous ladies out there.... hope it eases up soon.

Yes, stay informed, be firm and maybe in your 1-2-1 even say that you recognize there are a lot of women in the company due for leave, etc. and you will only be taking time when it's absolutely necessary. Affirm your love for your job (even if you have to fake it) and just grin and bear it.

Your Poppet will be so much more important than any of this in the long run.

that's brilliant news widget!!! Well done you x

Good luck for your scan on Friday Redsox
