Natty, do you feel any other symptoms or just sore boobs and that weird sitting down feeling in the ovary area? That's all I'm feeling. I want more! LOL!

 

[emzi]

Hi all,

This is my first baby so as you can imaine the questions are flying round my head!!! Got my first midwife app on my Birthday...8th July when I will be 5+5 will she offer me a reassurance scan?

How does it work x

 

[natty1985]

no hun i dont feel much at all lol my sore boobs only really hurt in the morning to be honest ,, i do get a metal taste in my mouth now and again but is going alot now like i cant remember having it at all today and its now half 3!! i feel slightly sick now and again but i cant say as to whether its when im hungary and i would usually feel like that hmmm unsure lol what about you xxxx ive never wanted morning sickness to kick in so much in my life xx

 

[natty1985]

emzi, unfortunately she probably wont offer you one unless you have had some sort of bleeding or a previous MC usually the first scan appt is between 10-12 weeks xx

 

[blessedmomma]

welcome natalie and emzi!

so sorry mibebe, hope it still turns out ok

good luck on scan mwahxx and hope you get in touch with mw pinkycat.

africaqueen- hope this puts your mind at ease a lil...
my first son i didnt know i was preggo at first cuz we werent trying and i had a full 4 day period the first month i was pregnant with him. when i missed my next period i went to dr and they gave me dates for july based on what i thought was my period. at first scan he measured way too big and they changed it to june a whole month earlier. i asked why that would be and they said it was implantation bleeding. i looked it up online and all the sites said it should be only spotting and a day or two, but it was very much more like a period to me! my dr said it just happens like that sometimes. never had it happen in any other of my pg. he measured with june dates at all his scans and was born june 21. hope this helps relax you!

 

[heart tree]

Emzi, I agree with Natty. The ladies on here who are getting early scans have all had at least one mc or some other issue. I hope your appointment goes well!

Natty, my boobs are sore throughout the day, but not to the point where they are killing me like in my last 2 pregnancies. No MS at all but that never kicks in for me until 6-7 weeks. I'm going to try to enjoy life without it!

Ladies, I have to tell you I love this thread because it is so full of hope! Thanks everyone, you help get me through each day!!!

 

[africaqueen]

Welcome Emzi yes unless u have had a previous loss/ ectopic etc u will not be offered a 6wk scan. They are only done when u have bad history.

Heart tree- i have the same pains and it has been making me nervous but seems to be normal. I spoke to my GP yesterday and he said its the softening of the pubic bones etc that cause the pains. Even at our early stage! i have a funny taste in my mouth too.
I still cnt stomick coffee so sticking to decaff tea

I went out before an stocked up on fruit and milk as i want our lil beanie to be getting the best chance xxx

wow! that has sooo gave me more hope!
It just starts getting to u when the nurses say its impossible to have a period during pregnancy! makes me think im crazy at times. probs am a bit with all this stress! That is a really inspiring story though. Thank u so much for reassuring me

Heart tree- I dnt knw what i would do without this thread! i LOVE it and all u ladies are amazing. I pray we all go into 2nd and then 3rd tri together

africaqueen i bled from 5weeks to 17 weeks or 18 i cant remember and it was thick bright red blood ,, i alsom thought i had a MC at 9 weeks as i lost ALOT of blood i had paramedics out and it was so bad within seconds of going to the toilet and seeing a bit of blood on my knickers, my jeans down to my knees on the outside were covered in blood it was terrifying ,,, hospital told me that night i had had a mc i was gutted and went for a scan 2 days later to see whether i needed d&c and there was my 9 week old baba all safe and snug. Its extremely surprising just how tough our little beans are im very sure you will be seeing every one of these lovely ladies at 3tri and even after when you are so sleep deprived you cant speak to us all lol ...

Heart tree its a pleasure to be going along this journey with you and i wish you all the luck in the world you sound like you would make a fantastic mama

jesus i think i had a bit of a soppy moment there

 

[Beckster30]

Thanks for the warm welcome girls, nice to see some of us share a due date

As for the aching in the ovary some of you are experiencing, I've had that a lot too. I've had it in all my previous pregnancies and I'm sure I read it's the corpeus luteum, usually the side the egg was released from and it provides nutriens etc until the placenta takes over, something like that anyway!

AQ, just to try and reassure you my MIL didn't find out she was pg with my BIL until she was 4.5 months pregnant as she was getting her normal monthly AF. Went to the Dr's because she kept getting wierd spotting mid cycle and found out she was very pregnant!

Symptoms wise, I'm absolutely shattered, I walk around feeling like I've been drugged! already had one nap today and could quite easily have another now! sore boobs, especially when my little boy gives me a cuddle and jabs them with his elbow-ouch! Terrible insommnia, mega thirsty, raging hormones am having a major humour bypass at the moment! Irritable, weepy ah the joys of pregnancy ha ha!

Starting to feel quite sicky at times especially eating my yoghurt at lunch eurgh! Go my sickness bands ready tho.

Anyone else not had or made a Dr's appt yet? I don't think I'll go till around 6 or 7 weeks, don't feel it's such a hurry this time around, usually won't have booking in appt with midwife till around 10 weeks anyway.

 

[africaqueen]

Natty thank u so much for sharing that. The more i am hearing, the more encouraged i become i am obviously still scared intill we see our healthy lil bean on that scan, but i can now envisage seeing he/she so thats gotta be a good sign

Beckster-Thank u too for reassurance ;-) ooh we have tons of the same symptoms! i have a mega thirst, insomnia and im shattered and zombie like too. haha. the joys! im loving every moment tbh and want more symptoms! lol.
I woke up at 5.45am today wide awake! yesterday it was 3am, then 6am! and believe me i am shattered so cnt understand it. Must be increase in hormones.

[natty1985]

i know the feeling i feel like i could sleep on a washing line yet im awake at every hour??? im really thirsty all the time too i thought nothing of that though. Positive thoughts ay girls. AQ i can still totally understand how worried you are,, the worry never goes and even when they in that cot lying next you a whole new worry starts lol xx

 

[heart tree]

Uuughh, I had insomnia last night too! Was up at 4:30 and 5:30. Finally got up at 6:30. I had it terribly in my first pregnancy. I read that it was due to the hormones.

 

[Boothh]

hey guys just had a quick read through cus iv missed loads with not keeping up the last day or so!!, welcome all the new guys!!

im tryna put things to the back of my mind til i get my bloods so tryna step away from first tri for a while, OH wont let me get any more hpts though cus he said iv done enough but gunna get some tomorrow for monday mornings fmu

hope your all good, my appetite is still lost and iv been verrry snappy! but other than that good! xx

 

[heart tree]

Boothh honey, I don't blame you for wanting to get more tests. I just used my last IC and I did an OPK today! I know the confusion you've been having which makes it even worse. If you do test again, you don't have to tell your hubby. I don't. He would think I was mad!

I hope you are doing ok. Please let us know how the bloods come back. xoxo

Hello my favourite wonderful ladies

Just been out with some girlfriends, bout some White knickers so I can spot andthibg suspicious hahaha!! Primark 2.50!!!

I'm going out with the girls tonight and I'm designated driver! I suppose I should get used to it hhaha!

Well I'm off to have my din din, doll myself up whilst I still can get in my clothes and go party

Also I bought a maxi dress today and it has room to grow in I also said to myself this morning "I'm pregnant" wahoo!!

 

[africaqueen]

Heart tree- yes the insomnia must be that cos i can usually sleep through with no prob! lol

Boothh- i think its best u just wait for your blood result now hun. It seems that hpts vary so much that they are not reliable to go on, where a blood test is pretty acurate ;-)

Rach- I am loving our new found PMA ;-)

Well i am gonna make baked potato with fish and veggies for tea. I cnt keep snacking as i want bubs to have a balanced diet

Just read my pregnancy magazine and cried at a pic of a newborn asleep! haha. Those hormones must really be kicking in! had heartburn on and off all day too xxx

Hi everyone. Like a lot of us, I am exhausted all the time and going to bed early seems to have me up by 04:00am - crazy!

Today DH and I were discussing the new baby. He has decided its a boy to which my DD said: "No, I want a girl!" So I said: "Well how about if we have one of each then?" So she puts her hands out and says: "And what will I do then? How will I get them down?" (How will I get them to sleep at night?) It made me laugh - what does she think her role is as big sister?

Oh my god, that is hilarious! How old is your DD? That is one of the cutest things I've ever heard!
