Lisa- great scan pic, glad your LO is doing well.

 

[pinkclaire]

Hope your ok lucky me!

Glad I'm not the only one who's peed off with my OH at the moment! I hate the barely pregnant thing, you either are or you arnt it's not an in-between thing is it!

I get dizzy very quickly as well, it's because my blood pressure is low, might be something you want to check out? Not that they do anything about it just means you need to take things easily

 

[Wiggler]

Luckyme - thinking of you, hope everything is OK hun!

I also have low blood pressure, had it for years, found a few things that help me out though to avoid the dizziness. a salty snack (it has to be quite salty though, not the healthiest option, but it works pretty quick for me) I normally have a tomato of two covered in salt, om nom nom, a fizzy drink usually works well too. Also go from sitting/laying to standing slowly so the blood doesnt rush to your legs from your head (passed out a few times from that) and dont stand still for too long, or if you must, work your legs and ankles as if you was on a plane. (was at a job interveiw years ago, stood at a till observing, after 20 mins felt ill, walked to grab my fizzy drink, took one sip then passed out in front of the manager spilling my drink all over the floor, needless to say i didnt get the job )

Well ladies, last night I started spotting. It was dark burgundy and brown. There was quite a lot when a wiped but amazingly only a tiny bit of brown showed on the panty liner when I woke up. I've had no spotting or cramps today so now I have to sit and wait. Got a bunch of blood work and urine test this morning. Probably a visit with the nurse tomorrow, then more blood work Saturday. This waiting crap sucks. Expecting then worse but hoping my little baby sticks!!

Sorry to hear this lucky, I know you how feel as I was there just this weekend, plus cramps and all is ok now. xx

I know, I was thinking you had the same thing It sucks because I feel like I'm in limbo, either I'm starting to miscarry and will begin bleeding again soon or it was just some weird spotting. Did you end up seeing your doctor or anything?

 

[24/7]

I know I should have, but in the end I decided just to stay at home and relax, the pains stopped after about three days and then the bleeding on the fourth. I hate hospitals and being prodded and poked would have made it all too much for me. Try and stay positive, I know it's so difficult xx

 

[luckyme225]

Glad your bleeding and cramps have stopped. Relaxing at home sounds like a good thing to do, nothing we can do to prevent either way. The only reason I have to get blood work and stuff is because I'm Rh - so i have to have the rhogam injection. Of course I'm with a new office this pregnancy so they don't just up and believe me when I tell them I'm negative and need the shot. They better give it to me tomorrow or I'm going to lose it because they are closed during the weekend and you have to have it 72 hours after potential blood exposure.

 

[lisaf]

ah yikes, I'm RH- too and hubby is RH+ ... haven't had any spotting so far but I was super worried about it with the RH factor as an added complication
I'm betting my OB won't believe that I know my blood type

 

[new_to_ttc]

Hey everyone

Lucky I hope everything is ok Spotting in early pregnancy happens way more than any of us think and Im sure 'it'll be one of those things' I hate that phrase but its so true! Thinking of you xxxxxx

And all your darling hubbies and partners might be behaving rotten atm... but mine sodded off lolol Im definitely taking the crown for worst dp of the May mummies lol Although least I have no one moaning at me for moaning lol.

Lisa gorgeous scan pic hun Cant believe the baby was waving awwwww how cute!!! Im getting really excited for my scan, wrote the date today at work and realsed its only 10 days away I never had all this early stuff with Joshua so its all brand new to me. Seeing the HB at 6 weeks was amazing, but I am so excited to see the 12 week tiny little baby scan

 

[24/7]

How are you today lucky? xx

 

[lisaf]

new- you definitely get the crow for worst dp, lol!

AFM - I was heaving this morning for no reason at all Nothing set me off, and it hurt and sucked because my stomach was emptier than empty Felt better after my juice and breakfast
Now I just want to pass out at my desk.

 

[meow951]

Lucky- I know it's not always good news (been there myself) but i had some spotting in this pregnancy at 7 weeks and all was fine. Hope you're getting checked out.

I've burnt my hand really bad i was filling up a jug from the hot water boiler at work and i split it all over my hand. It hurts so much and i have blisters all over my knuckles and fingers. I went to the minor injuries unit and they've put some special gauze stuff on it and bandaged it to keep it clean. Got to go back tomorrow so they can have a look at it.

My boss begrudginly let me go home even though i was in agony and told me i'm not allowed any more days off! I've had 4 days off in this pregnancy. 2 due to bleeding, 1 to migraine and 1 to anxiety. The nurse told me i can't work with my hand like this so i can't work tomorrow and Sunday so no doubt i'll be shouted at when i got back next week

I look like Keith Lemon

 

[wild2011]

awww meow big hugs hun x

 

[lisaf]

aw meow, that sounds like something I would do.
I once added instant coffee to a cup of water I'd boiled in the microwave... I was holding the cup and it flashboiled over all over my hands.
I also once held a colander as if it was a bowl, the proceeded to pour the boiling pasta water through it

 

[hopefulmama]

Today was my first experience with bad morning sickness.. started at 6 am and stopped for a bit and is now back full on. I have been lucky up until now with no puking etc, now i feel like my body is making up for lost time

 

[stardust22]

Hello my lovely May Blossoms,

Hope you are all well today. Apart from tiredness, sickness, burns OUCH!

I am lucky not to be sick but I get waves of nausea and giddyness. I was in the mamas and papas shop (my sister is due her first baby in Feb) and came over all weird. Luckily they have seats and a water machine! I guess they get alot of that sort of thing hehe.

If only all the shops had a seating and drinks machine!!

[xshell79]

I carnt wait to go browsing in baby shops.... we said we would only buy an outfit for baby at 12wks then nothing till in 20/24 wks as we gotta start from scratch as my dd will be 13 and didnt keep anything.....

stardust ive heard that mammas and pappas outlet is meant to be pretty reasonable so ive been told...im glad im not back to work till tues had a tiring day....

yesterday i kept getting little sharp pains making me go ouch and a few today so im hoping its because things going on down there like little one getting compfy!!! fx

 

[wild2011]

i had one of them momments in tesco the other day, not good!
lol

I find when you actually vomit you then manage to keep a little something down, on my lo's i used to eat a piece of toast knowing it'd be up in 5 mins then make another round and it would stay down, most meals consisted of 2 seatings lol.

now i have just waves of nausea either when im hungry or right after ive eaten, and it will not go till its ready nothing softens the feeling. dh being so good this time round. think he's secretly enjoying it cos knows its the very last baby! and i swear i stick by that this time lol xx

 

[stardust22]

I really feel for those who are actually throwing up!! just the nausea is bad enough. Poor pregnant ladies dont enough support at work do they! if only men had to experience some of this. OH MY GOODNESS IT WOULD BE THE END OF THE WORLD!!

I havent told my sister I am pregnant so it feels weird and exciting. because of my history of mc's I just cant indulge like I want (just yet) so I am saying how lovely things are and secretly planning my own nursery hehe.

My mum and dad are going to get their first 2 grandchildren 3 months apart. double buggy shopping for them I think

[lisaf]

I think I found my top choice for cribs last night online... its a bargain too.... but now I'm bummed because I can't order it until we get the room cleaned out DH said we coudl just stack the boxes, but I think its best to assemble right away in case something is wrong.
Its a convertible crib (with toddler rails included!) a changer and a mini-dresser all for $250 with $0.97 shipping! Great reviews too though the dresser is apparently a huge pain to assemble, lol.
