Hugs to both of you. I'm also still sick; I have hyperemesis again but have stronger anti-sickness meds now so feeling a little better. I have my scan tomorrow so at least something to look forward to![/QUOTE]
Good luck button! I'm on anti sickness tablets too, but they don't seem to be working as well as they were.
What are you on?
I'm on cyclizine, stemetil and zofran.
Someone needs to find a 100% cure for hyperemesis!!![/QUOTE]
Oh Tatty, you sound like you're really suffering 😩 I'm just on zofran now, 3 times a day (started on stematil).
Is this your first? I had hyperemesis with my daughter and it was much worse than with this LO, I was in and out of hospital and no meds really worked, so I really feel for you. Just keep going, it won't be for much longer xx

You ladies are dashing my hopes! I am 11wks 4 days and have had a few days over the last week where I have started to feel a little better. My daughter is back at nursery and walking her to and from nursery has been soooo hard. I'm so exhausted, my body just wants to stop. I was seriously hoping it would start to pass soon. I'm still feeling sick every day but some days are better than others. The exhaustion is constant though still.
I swear this second preg feels so much harder. Maybe being older and having a toddler. I can feel my body changing already in a way I didn't either with my first until I was way further on. My ligaments feel looser, my back is sore and my sciatic nerve is giving me pain! I'm not even in second tri!!!
Got my first scan on Monday morning and getting nervous. Still not found baby on Doppler. Stopped trying now because I was getting stressed.

Yeah my first button, that gives me hope that maybe next time won't be as bad for me either..I'm a real whimp when it comes to being sick aswell, haha. I've told my other half this will be the only baby we have because I can't go through hyperemesis again.
Livvy you're scan is so cute, baby looks all tucked up and comfy.
Oxygen, I've started getting ligament pain and stretching, and sneezing is a nightmare I have to hold myself in so It doesn't hurt so much...I imagine it would start a good few weeks before if you've already had a baby before. Good luck for your scan aswell!

Congrats livvy, glad you got that scan in!
Saw the specialist today, they did my NT scan...all looked good! My bp was normal, 118/80!!!
The specialist said I definitely had pre eclampsia with my son, even though my regular obgyn never officially labeled it as such...she mentioned baby aspirin can keep blood pressure down and prevent pre eclampsia...anyone have any experience with this?

Appointment went well, she didn't do the picture doppler like I hoped but got to hear the heartbeat (160 range) so happy to hear that little heart pumping away! The baby was moving around so only got to hear it for short times. So for all the ladies having trouble with their dopplers it's at least reassuring that a professional has issues too!
I found out my scan is set for the end of October, so I won't get to see my new lo for a while, so I guess listening to the heartbeat will have to sustain me.
today is actually one of the first days that I haven't felt tired and worn out since I got up, so yay! I've had some days where I'm not too tired but this is the best I've felt in months. I hope I have more but as I know it could just be a brief reprieve but I'll take it, especially with my lo's birthday party coming up.

miranda - I'm pretty sure I've felt baby move too but again fleeting and catches me off guard. I've never felt my others this early but my last pregnancies have been anterior placentas.
button & TattyHead - I'm sorry you're also not feeling well. I've never had hyperemesis and it sounds just awful.
broodymrs - my NT tests don't include the harmony tests either unfortunately and my insurance will not cover it.
Livvy - so glad you got your scan!!
Oxygen - I'm convinced it's being older and having the young one that is making this pregnancy especially difficult.
MiBabyHopes - you give me hope that I'll also have even one good day soon! I'm sorry you didn't get to see baby but it's nice to hear that heartbeat!!
afm - specialist appointment scheduled for the 27th of Sept. I love this team of doctor's so much and I can't wait to see baby again!

At my specialist office the dr said my ins didn't cover the harmony test, but it would only cost me 130$ if I wanted it done...I declined, but I always thought it cost much more!
I posted some scan pics in my journal, might add one here tomorrow.
My next scan will be the anatomy one at 18 weeks, Oct 27th! I'm so excited!
Anyone else have scan dates for the anatomy scan yet?

In the UK anyone who is high risk for pre eclampsia is prescribed baby aspirin. I'm prescribed it because I'm diabetic so that increases my risk. 3rd pregnancy and no problems with my BP in any of them xx
Mine's on the 25th October, doesn't seem that far away at all. Hopefully baby will be a little more cooperative for that one. I'll be 20 weeks.
Mines 20th October at 20 weeks but we have a private gender scan on 27th September.
I'm a bit nervous for when I stop these anti sickness tablets on Monday, I've attempted not taking them and it makes me instantly start feeling sicky and not able to eat. I'm hoping they'll give me more otherwise I'll end up poorly again!

I would keep going with the meds Sarah, and when you do want to stop then stop gradually (e.g rather than taking 3 a day, take 2 a day etc). That was the way I did it with my daughter, rather than going cold turkey. I can't see me coming off the anti-sickness tablets anytime soon! I'm pretty sure they'll give you more, sickness is worse in twin pregnancies too!

I'm so excited for all the anatomy scans starting next month!
Salamander - I did some googling, it seems pretty common practice for prevention of pre-e. I think I may pick some up to start, I figure if the specialist mentioned it, it's something she thinks will work for me...she said most drs start around 12 weeks with it, and I don't see my regular obgyn until 16 weeks...she said she'd pass the info on to him to talk to me about
Sweetv, I always thought it was around 900-1k too...I'm guessing my specialist office must have a deal worked out with a certain lab to run the test, because she specifically said "if you want it done, your insurance doesn't cover it, but I can send you to a lab that'll cost you 130"
Anyone else getting sharp pain in their boobs? I swear I would of pulled mine off last night if I could of...woke me out of a dead sleep feeling like I was being stabbed in the nipple...they've been sensitive all day...and don't now I'm starting to think I may be leaking a little..which seems so early compared to with my son

Loving all the great updates on here, especially the scans and pregnancy announcements, all so cute.
Missed so much on here though, it's getting me down how shit I still feel because even logging on here is too much of a task these days let alone house work. My ironing mile is like a mini mountain. I work full time so after that I'm just beat, come straight home to eat and then bed! Touch wood though yesterday I felt great and today is the first day in weeks brushing my teeth hasn't made me throw up!
I was hoping I might have felt some movement by now but nothing really, had a few flutters but not sure if they could be baby or not. They said I had anterior placenta again at my 12 week scan and I had that with my son and didn't feel any movement until after weeks, was hoping it would be earlier this time. Also makes finding heartbeat hard, can go days not being able to find it and when I do it's super quiet.
Really hope everyone is doing well though, hoping this feeling better lasts so I can get more active on here again too. Can't wait to start maternity leave so I have more time. Thinking I'll start from the 1st Jan so I can take my holiday entitlement before I go.
Also I'm guessing some due dates need changing on the main page. If anyone's does send me a message on here and I'll change it for you xx

I've been getting sharp stabbing in my boots every so often, feels like shards of glass in my nipples & I've always had a teenie tiny bit of leakage afterwards..this is my first though. I didn't think that would happen so soon!
Princess Taz, hopefully your sickness is starting to ease now then, they do say around the 16week mark so fingers crossed.
My due date is now 13/03/2017 I haven't changed my ticker.

I am slowly starting to feel less tired. Still feel a bit sick when I wake up bit other than that I'm feeling good. And. I've got a bump coming on. I've lost 8lb since the start of my pregnancy so it's not just me getting fatter. These pics are 12 weeks ago, 3 weeks ago and today
