Congrats on your 10 weeks MMM!!!!

And yay for a lovely scan and a lovely heartbeat Iluv!



afm - I'm having my first only mildly nauseous day in ages and it's just wonderful! I'm actually able to function for what feels like the first time in forever, though I'm pretty sure it's only been a week or so. I even had a cry over Skype to hubby yesterday because I was so tired of feeling so rotten. I've also discovered that sniffing lemons seems to help too.

Hope everyone's doing okay.

I drank my 1st cup of coffee since we found out we were expecting! I have felt pretty good all day!!! The coffee definitely helped my constipation and fatigue and nausea has been at bay today! So I've actually gotten some things done today!!!! Yay!!! I even have chicken marinating for dinner tonight with a homemade Dijon honey mustard marinade and dipping sauce. I can't wait I'm so hungry just thinking about it!!!!

Welcome Kelly!!!

On home dopplers...I bought the Sonoline B with the last baby and unfortunately never got to use it. When should I give it a try??

i used mine from 9+4 and its picked it upevery time!!


can anyone else feel their baby moving yet or is it just freaky me??? sooo early i cantbelieve it!! but doc confirmed!! so surreal! xxx

 

[EMTAmanda]

Kelly I've had some funny feelings that make me wonder if it's baby but I'm not sure yet this is baby 3 for us

Amanda - 10 weeks... Yay! I had a couple of sips of DH's coffee this morning as the taste hasn't been sitting well with me lately and so far... no help with the constipation. I quit smoking before my BFP, but what I wouldn't give for a smoke and a coffee just to clear the pipes! Oh and your dinner sounds delish!

ILuv - Congrats on a great scan!

Manu - my symptoms have been fairly mild this time around, but when MS hits me, it's like a truck and I want to curl up in a ball and die. Dramatic, much? I'm glad you've had a decent day... hopefully it's easing up for you!

Kelly - wow! You picked up the HB on your Doppler already and feeling some movement? I'm jealous! That awesome!

Hello to everyone else!

Afm, I can't help but be crapping bricks. My scan appointment got moved from Wednesday to tomorrow with the physician's assistant as my OB had a family emergency and went out of town. I should be 8+4. I don't know if I'm emotionally ready for tomorrow. I'm terrified we won't see the lovely heartbeat we saw last time. I am. Freaking. Out. I'm trying to keep up my PMA and telling myself to have faith, but what's meant to be will be. Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening! *hugs*

 

[ILuvBabies200]

That was me today cgav!!! In fact it will probably be worse next scan because the last baby was fine first scan as well. There just isn't enough reassurance for me it seems. ((((HUGS))))

Congrats to the ladies with nice heartbeats :happy dance:
I pray we all keep get great news

AFM- just got home from long hospital appointment for my daughter. She had her two year check which turned into her getting an x ray along with her shots. I got my flu shot today too. The doc said her x ray is just to make sure there isn't a problem. Long story but I pray she is fine! Other than the stomach thing she is in perfect health!
Tomorrow morning is my first official scan and I pray it goes well. I will be seeing a new doc and will tell her how serious I am about being watched closely during this pregnancy.! I don't want them assuming anything this time.... I will be demanding if needed because my baby's safety is my first concern. I hope this doc is compassionate and wise so I can feel comfortable knowing she will do her best to ensure a safe pregnancy. I already expect it to be complicated later on just because my first pregnancy was high risk with GD pre eclampsia low blood platelets everything! However, I would rather be on bed rest and deal with all that than go through pre term labor again I just pray they watch me extra in the 2 nd tri. I know many look forward to the 2nd tri but for me I'm terrified that's when everything went bad. I'll be 18 weeks and 5 days on Christmas Day which is how far along I was when I delivered. So I'm dreading the holidays too... Guys is it possible to get throug this? I've been having anxiety about this because it all happened so fast and the way it happened... I was on the toilet and I felt a big bulge coming down. It was my amniatic sac... It didn't fall out I got to the hospital but every time I have to pee I get scared like something's going to come out. and since the 2nd tri is only 4 weeks away, I'm losing it.
I apologize for the long post but this has been building up the past several days. That's y it's been hard to post on here. I've just been feeling depressed. I pray we get our baby's results so we can change her stuff and finally let her be at peace....

Please let us know what happens!! I understand the anxious feeling. I just posted on here about my similar feelings. I think as long as we support each other it will be okay. Knowing I'm not alone comforts me and helps me to stay strong. You and your baby are in my prayers

 

[cgav1424]

Oh MizzPodd, I can't even begin to imagine how you're feeling. Pregnancy and parenting are such tricky things. We want it all so badly, but once we get pregnant... the anxiety and worry is overwhelming. And it just gets worse once you actually have the baby... then it's a whole new set of worries.

Have a good, long heart-to-heart talk with your doctor and tell him/her all of your concerns and be straightforward with your expectations. If he/she is a good doctor, then they'll understand where you're coming from and help you through all the scary times. If not and you just don't get a good vibe, find another doctor! I think all expectant mothers (especially ones who've suffered through miscarriages and losses) are entitled to a doctor who will indulge us with whatever we need to get through the pregnancy. If this means for you that you want to come in every 2 weeks instead of every 4 in second tri, then your doctor should accommodate you. Just be firm! I know my OB is willing to do everything he can to make me feel better. I hope you find your doctor to be equally great and supportive!

We WILL make it through this pregnancy. We all might have higher blood pressure by the time we have our babies, but just have faith. We're all here together, in the same boat, and feeling the same things. *HUGS*

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Fingers crossed for your appointment Cgav

Kelly I've been the same regarding movement but think for me it's just gas x

 

[MizzPodd]

Cgav- thank you so much for your beautiful words you are right about everything. You made me feel so much better after reading this. I feel good now about talking to my doctor tomorrow and hope she is understanding. I will post my update and hopefully scan pic tomorrow.... If not its because of school. I start classes tomorrow! Oh goodness what did I get myself into? Lol
Again thank you so much for your words and I will make sure I tell the doctor my concerns and need for reassurance. I'm sooooo happy I have this forum!!!

We have really nice strong metal baby gates for the living room and the baby room and I usually put both the boys in the living room to play while I cook to keep them out of the kitchen and safe and today my 6 year old decided to pick my 10 month old up and drop him...busting his lip pretty bad! Guess its a good thing they have a paramedic for a mama! Ugh they keep me on my toes!!!!

 

[MizzPodd]

Amanda oh no!! Was your son rough housing and dropped him by accident? Your 10 month old is going to be a tough boy

 

[EMTAmanda]

My 6 year old is autistic and sometimes doest understand risky behavior and he says their ball went inside the pack and play so he was trying to pick the baby up to put him in the pack and play so he could reach it and get it out for them because my 6 year old couldn't get it :-/ but my 10 month old is in the 99th percentile for height and is in the 83rd percentile for weight so he's a very big boy and I guess he just couldn't hold up the weight :-/ scared all of us but I usually don't get worked up easily about things like that unless it's a significant blow to the head or something... Guess that's the benefit of working on an ambulance for several years, I can usually tell right off the bat if it's a serious ouchie or one that just needs a little love

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Amanda-That would have freaked me out! Glad he is okay!!!!

Already counting down until my next scan. Still praying every night for this baby to stay with me....

 

[MizzPodd]

I'm glad you are an EMT it sounds like your 6 year old had a good plan he sounds very clever and smart

Amanda-That would have freaked me out! Glad he is okay!!!!

I'm just so happy you had a great scan... Be ready for many more great scans to come
