[Sweetkat]

I look fat, bloated, also have spots (although not too bad), circles under my eyes. The neighbours and all my colleagues must think I am a fat slob who has totally let herself go. And hardly anything fits me and yet I don't want to wear maternity clothes because I haven't outed myself lol, so I keep wearing the same few things over and over. Great

But when I am out with DD without anyone I know I do sometimes wear stuff which makes it very obvious sth is up

My MS is bad today and I also have a hungover type headache

Yay, Sweetkat! So glad it went well! I think you'll be the first in this group to have your baby, I can't wait! I'm so happy everything has gone smoothly for you so far. Do you find you are getting less anxious with all the good scans?

So glad it went well sweetkat!

 

[xkirstyx]

That's fab!!! I think you're going to be a week ahead of me now! Hope baby is going to be a few days ahead at my scan on tur though but right it looks like I'll be the 24th I think!

Glad the scan went well!

Just booked my scan for next Wednesday. Freaking out since of course I think my symptoms are slowly going away. I hope I can remain positive this week waiting.

Looks like we'll have a few scans in this group next week. I hope everyone gets good news. I'm really nervous. I just keep reliving last time in my mind.

Congrats on the good scan! I have my 8 week scan next week Thursday, which I'm a bit nervous about. That's when things went wrong with my very first pregnancy, so I'm always nervous for this first scan. Morning sickness has gotten me pretty bad though, so I'm taking that as a sign that things are ok.

Bleeding again today. Not feeling hopeful at all anymore

 

[maryanne1987]

Oh no Kirsty, are you ok? Have you phoned the epu to see if they can scan you? With my son and daughter I bled heavily all the way throughout the pregnancies. It's scary but it can be normal.

 

[xkirstyx]

All my pregnancies I've bled when period was due so I'm guessing it's that again. They don't scan at weekend so I'm just keeping an eye on it. It's calming down I think x

 

[maryanne1987]

You have a scan next week don't you? Hoping it does stop for you. No matter how often someone says it's normal it's horrible to see blood.

 

[xkirstyx]

Yeah on Tuesday. If it gets worse I'll see if I can get checked out but it's not too bad just now x

 

[Sweetkat]

Kirsty, the sonographers kept saying I would bleed because I had an internal bleed. And they weren't concerned at all. Keeping fingers crossed it's nothing. Not long until your scan xxxx

 

[xkirstyx]

Thanks hunny. Fingers crossed everything is ok wish I could sleep and wake up on Tuesday. So glad my scan is at 9.50 so I'm not sitting round all day waiting

 

[karoolia]

I hope it stops kirsty. As the others have said, it might not be anything. I'm hoping everything goes well for you on Tuesday.

 

[xkirstyx]

It's cleared up now. Stayed off my feet all day. Hopefully everything is ok. I keep getting a ball of pressure on the left side I've no idea if it's baby or what but it feels really weird. I want this baby to be ok so bad. If I lose this one and going to stop trying. The losses are too heartbreaking!

 

[Sweetkat]

Kirsty do you know what side baby is on? I know mine is on the right side (i have a heart shaped uterus). I get weird aches and pains all the time, especially after eating.

Also the stretching and the growing could be the explanation for the pressure. As you had a good scan the chances of sth going wrong are very low (although statistics don't make me feel any less worried). But realistically the chances of sth being wrong are very very very low.

 

[maryanne1987]

I agree with sweetkat. On the side where baby is I get lots of pressure and strange, sometimes painful twinges. I feel the same about statistics although they are definitely on your side.
