Hi ladies, been posting on the other May thread, and would like to join you ladies as well.

EDD is May 1, and im soooo excited for the 1st tri to be over, just so that I can start feeling human again!
Looking forward to chatting with everyone from now through May!

Hi Everyone,

Its 1.30am here and can't sleep, but maybe that was something to do with the 2 hr nap I had this afternoon!

I am having hardly any symptoms at all, occasional low crampy pains in uterus, ever so slight increase in need to pee and a one off episode of dizziness after I had a mug of coffee but apart from that, nothing!

Worried because I have already had 2 miscarriages (1 spontaneous at 5.5 weeks last December and 1 missed just a few months ago). Don't have a Drs appt until 8 weeks (despite me asking for something a bit sooner because of the m/c). Would really like an early scan but even if theyb agree, that won't happen until at least 8.5 to 9 weeks as they are slow on referrals!

Is anyone else having few symptoms? x

Hoping29 - Sorry about your previous losses. I'm a touch over 5 weeks and haven't had many symptoms either. Sleepy, sore bbs, crampish for about two weeks after ov, peeing and a fair bit of dizziness from getting up from floor, chairs, bed, etc(mostly gone now). Nothing big deal or debilitating. I've heard the big mean symptoms don't come around till closer to week 7, so we're probably both just in a quiet phase before spending three weeks puking our heads off. Seriously, I hope not. I'd be totally happy to avoid the ms, lol.

Sticky beans to all! Be healthy!

Today my morning sickness hasn't shown at all (cept for a slight queasiness just before getting up) but I had a two hour nap too! I really couldn't help it.

 

[NewMama2012]

Front page updated. Welcome to all the new ladies, congrats and H&H 9 months!

How is everyone today? Yesterday I had a bit of morning sickness and today Im feeling a bit tender and have dia-blah-blah!

Finally got my mom talking to me again. She's off on holiday today so I rang her from my work phone coz she doesn't have the number and she answered! haha! And she was acting all fine like there was nothing wrong... ho-hum! will see how it goes when she's back after her holiday!

What's up with the tickers being strange?!?

Good luck I had to go to one too due to pain. Everything was ok and i go back on 28th to see heart beat x

 

[freddie]

Good luck Mrs HP!!

Hoping 29 - if you really don't want to wait to be referred you could always book a private scan?? You can have them from 6 weeks usually xxx

So I text my mum to let her know that I've told my dad about the pregnancy and they he's ok with it. And I got quite a snotty response from her saying stuff like you need to finish studying and sort your life out and get out of your flat and all that rubbish before having kids. hang on sweetheart you were 23 when you starting trying for a baby. not my fault it took you 5 years! and she still studied after I was born and at least I have a solid relationship, not like her and my dad!! And I might live in a flat/masonette but it's three bedrooms and its big. I might not have a garden but we have a large park right outside the door, I might have 2 dogs, but I was brought up with dogs. She's being so annoying and negative. I know im her daughter and she wants the best for me, but seriously!!!

Sorry about that rant girls, just needed to get it out!!!

 

[sharon0302]

Your mum probably thinks she is acting in your best interests, but main thing for you at this moment in time is not to stress, she'll come round and wait to you see her face holding her grandchild!

I think sometimes people expect waaay too much to happen before you have kids... I say, you can't wait for everything to be in place and perfect before hand or it could be too late, or even never happen!!! Also, some people seem to believe that your life will end after the baby - hello, you can still achieve things afterwards!!!

Lol just my penny's worth

 

[anti]

thanks guys. Thats my take exactly. Like I said to her, its always hard to raise a child and its never the right time to have a baby, so we're going to do our best and thats all we can do.

 

[hoping29]

Would love an early private scan but not sure the pennies will stretch that far, but if I get desperate, will just have to try and find them from somewhere. Just keep trying to tell myself that it should be 3rd time lucky plus I don't really think I deserve anymore bad luck this year. My mum died just under 6 months ago from cancer and then my nan died a few months ago.

On the symptom front, feeling 100% normal today. Nothing whatsover! Maybe my body is used to going through the first 6 weeks now so doesn't pay any attention to it?

Would love a few symptoms tho, plus a bit of m/s to lose a few pounds as an added bonus

 

[anti]

hoping29 - so sorry about your rough year. I hope it gets better for you! I know what you mean about the early scan - I cant afford one either, so just going to go with the flow - what will happen will happen. thinking positively and getting through the next 7 weeks healthily is the best thing I can focus on right now.

 

[freddie]

So sorry to hear that hoping29, well yes you definitely deserve this!! Think positively and keep healthy

So I had my first appointment yesterday morning and I must say, I already love my doctor. She's very nice and explained everything as best she could. She said she wants to treat my chemical last month as a possible bleed in my pregnancy and that maybe I'm further along than I actually am. I don't think that's the case but it'd be nice haha. She said that she also wants to think that maybe I am only just 6 weeks and has me scheduled for an ultrasound next Thursday when I'll be 7 weeks.

She said she'd do it now but since it's so early, we may not see anything and if we don't see anything, we'll all start freaking out... possibly over nothing. So to those of you with 4-5-6 week scans seeing nothing, it may be too early! As much as I was looking forward to a scan, I'm glad she decided to wait because she's right... if I see nothing, I'd freak. Plus it's something to look forward to this next week.

We also talked about my losses and the fact that I'm A- (blood type) and that I didn't have D&C's for my losses, there may have been some leftover tissue or the fact that I was A- caused me to loose them so she sent me for blood work (the typical early preg stuff) and the RhoGam shot (that you normally get at 28weeks if you have a negative blood type.)

I go back in 4 weeks on Oct 13 for a 10wk appointment. We'll do the heartbeat listening then and I have my u/s this coming Thursday at 7wks exact. I'll go every 4 weeks in the beginning like usual unless something comes up. She said not to hesitate to call if I need anything. When I went for the RhoGam shot, I had to wait an hour while they prepped it and then head up to Labor & Delivery to get it. It was so exciting being in L&D already. I saw the room I delivered DD in! Heard one little baby crying behind a closed door

Most of my family knows now. Everyone's ok with it since I'm older than I was when I had DD (19) but is worried how it's going to affect her. She's been begging for a sibling so my Mom & I think she'll handle it all okay. Still not telling her until 12 weeks along though.

My sister has already offered to throw my baby shower (in March hahaha) and when I told my Mom (she asked how she took the news) she got excited going on and on about how for $100 we can rent a conference room at a hotel chain she works for (Mariott) and have coffee for the guests included. It's a nice/big room - we threw my stepdad's parent's 50th anniv party there. So that's good to know.

I just wrote a novel hahah but that's my update! Hope you're all doing well.
