[redsox]

Good luck for your scan on Friday Redsox

Thanks Widger - your scan has given me some hope for good news!!!

 

[Luv_My_Bichon]

Hiya all,

I am pooped!

Loolindley, I'm hoping my brown discharge is going to be the same as you with blood from implantation too - please God let my baby be ok.

Tonight I am absolutely exhausted!! Thankfully DH and I are off tomorrow

Got our first midwife appointment - so exciting but with the brown discharge I'm a little nervous is there any point until I know whether the baby is ok or not?

Roll on Monday when I've had the scan - mind you, I so want to know but I'm nervous and scared too so in a way I don't want to know. Does that make sense?

No MS for me yet and long may that continue - I hated it last time

My boobs also aren't as sore but like some of you ladies I've been getting a slight pain down my left hand side lower down about 2inches below where your belly button is. I had it for a few days when I first found out I was pregnant and now they've come back. Last time I ovulated from my left side and it's the left where the pain is this month...

There's so much to worry about isn't there! Just wish I could have some sort of 100% reassurance

Bichon - I am feeling the same about scan. Mine was scheduled for a week from today and I was on the cancellation list to come in earlier and got the call this morning to come in Friday afternoon!

While I was happy to have the wait cut short, now I am a bit freaked as I am very frightened of bad news.

Here's hoping we both are stunned by little babes with healthy heartbeats!

Bichon - stop worrying ps. People on ur thread think ur scan was today are asking how it went

My boobs still dont hurt you know ...

 

[Luv_My_Bichon]

thanks firsttimer and redsox...

I'll head over to my thread now - not got that far yet, lol. Thank you.

I'm going to stop worrying as much as I can and stay as positive as I can...I can't bare constantly saying "if everything is alright"

I am with you! Constantly making qualifiers: "if i get that far" "if it all works out" "if this is it" etc.

Let's hope our scans can put an end to our worrisome nonsense.

 

[loolindley]

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

I'm the same as you! From my calculations I am 5+6 today, but I measured 5.7mm, and next to that it says 6w2d. She did however say it wasn't always that accurate at the stage, so thats something.

I've not told my work yet, but think I will have to at some point soon. The doctor has been putting Gastro Entiritus on my sick note, but I've never heard of it lasting nearly 3 and a half weeks! I work in a male dominated environment. In fact I am the only woman out of 30 men (I am a train driver), so I am not looking forward to having to tell them. I get on with them all very well, but I'm sure they will just see it as having to cover my shifts for 9 months. Not to mention the time I am having off at the moment. There is nowt I can do though.

And as for lying in the sun.....I darent go back to work with a tan!!! I think I would be flogged! I've not even been using my moisturiser with a hint of a tan!!!!!

I joined Slimming World last night to try and drop a few lbs (I am very over weight). Trying to get my head around it tonight. I don't want to lose weight drasticly, for obvious reasons, so it's finding a balance that will let me lose weight but at a snails pace!

Wow this thread is moving fast - I feel bad not commenting on all posts!

I know some are going through a tough time, I am sorry and I will keep you in my thoughts! To those going to scans soon, Good Luck!

As for me I go next week - I should be 8 weeks exactly, I asked if they would scan and they said they weren't sure if they would. so keep your fingers crossed that they do! Twins kinda run in my family so we would like to know early on if we are expecting twins

So glad you got to see your little one hun, I was thinking about you today

 

[Widger]

I had brown spotting all the way through first trimester with my son so it isn't always the end ladies. I'll keep everything crossed for you.

Good luck with scan pristock... twins run in my family too although only one in there today

 

[littleANDlost]

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.

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.

Thanks redsox, I know I just have to grin and bear it and that i only have to put up with them for a few more months.

My scan is now Friday at 1:45pm!

Hey Ladies, I'm just back from the most amazing 10 day honeymoon in Tunisia and couldnt wait to get on here and see how you all are!
But OMG, does this thread move fast there's about 50 pages for me to read!!! hehehe

As for me, will be 7 weeks on friday, nipples are still incredibly painful and wow has the ms kicked in. Not actually being sick but horrible, horrible nausea that lasts all day long
Am trying to eat little and often to ease it slightly but just the thought or smell of most foods make me heave.

My next appointment is on monday with the midwife and really hoping she gives me a scan date then.

How are you all???

Emma xxx

 

[firsttimer1]

Wow I wud love to go to Tunisia, glad it was great we had our honeymoon in Maldives in June and it already feels like yonks ago sorry u have MS... But its a healthy sign! I thought I was getting it but apparently not??!! We shall see. Xxx

 

[MsCrow]

littleANDlost I'm sorry you feel threatened at work, regardless of how many other women are pregnant or on maternity leave, they should treat you fairly. I agree with the advice, that the 1-2-1 is a good opportunity for you to allay their fears as much as for you to find out their policies over the next few months. However, if you do feel worried I'd do two other things. Keep a record of any meetings, just jot some notes after this one coming up and hold onto relevant emails. Second, perhaps look into joining a union. I'm sure you won't need them but you will feel backed up just in case and at least they're there on the phone to talk issues through with.

I've not told work yet and don't plan to for a while. We're a tiny charity and I feel quite anxious about being seen to let our management team of three down! At least, I want to be able to reassure them I'll complete the project I'm funded for by the end of the pregnancy.

Well, it's my follow up to my bleeding scan, scan, 9am today. MrC is coming with me. I'm nervous, I don't feel pregnant and I just anticipate the worst for everything. We'll see.

Am thinking of you today - I hope all goes well. Let us know how you get on x

 

[loolindley]

Good luck today MsCrow. I feel exactly the same. I wish I could just start to relax and enjoy this pregnancy, but I can't see that happening for a while!

Let us know how you get on. Thinking of you. xx

 

[Luv_My_Bichon]

10am - any word from Mscrow anyone? Hope she's ok

 

[struth]

I guess she could still be waiting or travelling - my appointment was at 10am but I had to see a nurse first, then head for the scan, and then head back to speak with the nurse. I think we got out about an hour later and then had to travel home.

I hope that it is all going okay for her x
