Rachel I am so sorry I hope that your scan brings you good news! Sorry you have to go through all this though its really hard, take care of yourself in the meantime.

Oh you ladies are picking awesome names!! tehehe my 2nd daughter is named Zoe and my oldest is named Rose!

I'm kind glad to hear my problem with OH choosing names I hate isn't just with my partner! lol
I like names with meaning too that's why I have trouble thinking of names myself. I have an idea kinda silly really and the story of why is too long to post (may bore you all haha) but Monarch Butterfly is very significant to me, for this particular pregnancy but any name that means Monarch butterfly or even in another language just doesn't sound right to me. *sigh*
My daughter Zoe was going to be a Jasmine all through the pregnancy if she was a girl, but when she was born Jasmine didn't really feel right and Zoe just came to me so my names may be just like that, after they are born.

I can't believe those of you who are in 9th and 10th week already!! wasn't long ago we were all moaning at 4 and 5 weeks about how time was dragging and it was taking forever!! haha

Omigosh! I just spilt my lemon drink and while I was down on the ground cleaning it I found my secrect stash of snickers minis! that I hid from OH!! at the bottom of my bookcase! I am so happy right now.

rjsmam Thats no good! maybe just take it easy today and put your feet up Heaps of people get light spotting so everything should be okay. I am still getting wicked cramps too, and everything seems okay on my end so maybe your cramps are just from stretching and growing? I reckon you should ring anyways, they might get you a scan

I couldn't believe it when 10 weeks snuck up. I felt like my whole week 9 didn't happen. Im so excited for my appt on the 18th (13 days!) My Dr is going to try and find a heartbeat! I haven't had a scan, so Im anxious about this appt.

 

[rjsmam]

mmmmm..... snickers....

i felt the nausea kick in tonight so went to boots and bought travel sickness bands which say they help morning sickness also.. they seem to be helping!

cramps are continuing, some quite sharp and painful... but thankfully no spotting... will see how it goes before phoning as wouldn't even know who to call yet

I am due May 3rd!!! Found out about a month ago!! Can't wait!

 

[zephyr]

uggh I had some spotting too and I'm not gunna lie, I'm a state, I have been crying the whole time! and thinking the worst. I can't even stay calm about this and I'm usually the one to tell other people to relax when stuff like this happens!! I paged my midwife and she phoned and said it should be fine, that it was only a small amount and I'm not getting serious cramps or anything but will send me for a scan, so tomorrow I pick up the form and will book in for Monday. On the up side I get to see my babies again if nothing is wrong. On the downside I get to worry all weekend yay me. Also Monday is my sons birthday! Better not be anything wrong. My last pregnancy problems started on my daughters birthday so that would be really shitty timing (again)
It was only a small amount.....but any amount is still a worry.

 

[zephyr]

rjsmam - if they get worse or you get more spotting I would just go to the hospital and see someone there or to your usual doctor. I'm unsure how things work where you are but if I didn't have a midwife yet I would of phoned my gp and he would of sent me for a scan.

Glad the travel sickness bands work! I was going to try them but I forgot all about them! pregnancy brain lol.

 

[rjsmam]

zephyr - arg sorry about the spotting - please try not to stress to much.... easier said than done i know... i'm fairly sure you'll be even more susceptible to spotting with 2 beanies..

 

[zephyr]

Yeah I read that it can happen more, trying not to read much though because I don't want to read bad stuff haha have to ban myself from google and just wait till next week.
Man I hope we all get good news!

I have to go do the shopping soon and then pick up my sons bike from the shop! Its his 3rd birthday on Monday and we decided to get him a nice new red bike. His older sister got a new bike for her birthday in june and he was so upset he didn't have one!! So he will be one happy boy come Monday I am also making him a cars cake. I hope everything calms down so I am able to spend a few hours in the kitchen to decorate it, may have to sit at the kitchen table and do it instead :/ I really enjoy cake making so I am excited about making this one, shall be a challenge I am sure!

 

[wavescrash]

Zephyr - I hope all is well. Since it's stopped, I'm sure it is but at least you get another scan out of it Good luck to you and rjsmam! I hope all is well with the both of you.

I've had a migraine for over a day now but it finally seems to have faded enough for me to get out of bed. Good timing since I work the next 6 days.

 

[zephyr]

Yeah me too, I'm actually secretly stoked shes sending me off for a scan! Cos if they're okay then I get to see them again and can rest easy for a few days after the scan
So far so good, nothing more has happened since this morning, a few stabby pains here and there but heck there has been so many pains and cramps and stretching its actually hard to tell if its normal or not.

Oh so good your migraine has eased, those are awful!

 

[wavescrash]

I've been thinking about a private scan at 12 or 13 weeks. I think I'm going to skip the 12-week testing (too many false positives and it won't change anything for me anyway) in which case I won't have another scan until 18-20 weeks. I was ok waiting that long with my daughter but I want to get a head start on guessing the gender based on the nub hahaha. We'll see though, not sure what it costs around here.

Thanks! It was terrrrrrrrrible to say the least.

Thinking of all you ladies that are spotting. Please keep positive and let us know how you're all getting on. Were all getting close to the second Tri. Hurry up November! Stay strong and healthy ladies!! Xx

 

[zephyr]

I havn't had any since that minimal amount this morning and my pains haven't got worse at all. I rested most of the day and plan on resting all weekend too, in my bed, sleeping hopefully yaaaaaay!

Waves - how does that nub thing work? I remember reading a webpage on it about the angle or something but is it accurate? they charge us $5 per photo here, and I would feel silly asking for a pic that included the nub how do you get around that one? without just ordering a whole bunch of pictures and hoping you get one with it in?

Quick up date. I had more bleeding yesterday morning and went to A & E as per my GP, they sent me to Early Pregnancy Clinic and after a rather uncomfortable internal ultrasound (apparently my uterus is tilted) i saw beanie and that amazing flicker of a heart beat. So everything looks good but i will be much happier with no more bleeding and getting to 2nd trimester!

zephyr - glad to hear no more spotting - and hope you get that scan v soon. the bday cake sounds fab & your son will be so pleased. i don't know why but i assumed you were from the uk!

hope the rest of you lovelies are all well!

no more spotting for me & cramps are just the usual.. i think?? i literally only had a tiny bit of pink cm combined with few cramps... so don't think i'll call unless anything else kicks off.. fingers crossed it wasn't anything ominous
