At how many weeks are you then in second tri? Seems my ticker is very close already! Madness! Can't wait to get my scan date through, think my Mum wants to come again! LOL :D
 
13 weeks is second tri. Cant wait for then, i think i will finally feel happy to tell people.
 
Mum2Miller, I've been watching the flooding on tv, how horrific... I will be keeping you and Brisbane in my prayers.

I'm feeling a little better lately, I didn't throw up this morning and I'm mostly just nauseous in the am and pm, I hope this means the end is in sight! Looking forward to my second scan in 5 days!
 
Glad you are starting to feel better ttcnumbertwo! I hope you bring wonderful pics back from your scan :) can't wait to see your little bean!

Sequeena, I missed a few post somewhere and just saw your little ones pic! Congrats very precious!

BattyNora I hope I get a couple days back at my next scan, at my first I know they would put me back about 3 or 4 days but they put me back 6 and that was by overall measurements, babys crl only measured 2 days less than that! I told the nurse that was impossible bc I got my first faint positive 11/21 & a darker on the 22, I thought I was 10dpo at the time but at my dates now I would have been 8 dpo which isn't impossible... But at babys measurements I would have been 6dpo which is impossible! I'm hoping babys size has caught up & all will be well (if I get a scan) I am so nervous. Even though I've heard the heartbeat and seen it, and had no real problems the closer my appt gets the more nervous I get again. I even had m/c dreams last night again! I wonder if I'll ever quit worrying and just enjoy it?
 
LoveKrystal - I don't know yet whether its possible to enjoy it and stop worrying. I did hear a LOVELY stat earlier on the 1st Tri board which made my heart flutter. Apparently, once you have seen/heard the hearbeat you have a 95% chance that you won't go on to MC. I know you had trouble with your tiltie, but your scan will put you in the big 'ol group, I'm sure.

I know we've unfortunately had a couple of ladies that were in this 5% group - but hearing that just made me think positive thoughts for once!

I think we all put a bit too much into u/s. Yes, they are the most effective way of dating, BUT they're not spot on all the blooming time. And there is a bit of leeway anyway. Apparently 4-5 days either was is a normal growth difference, so your 6 days, minus the 2 you thought you would go back, mean your little bean is probably just waiting for its first growth spurt!

TTCNumber2 - glad to hear there is no vomming in your life this morning! ADN (All Day Nausea) will surely cease in the weeks to come!!
 
I hear ya lovekrystal, I can't wait to just relax and enjoy being pregnant- I keep telling myself that after the next scan I promise to stop worrying, easier said than done!
 
Thanks battynora! I think you are right & I really have No reason to worry other than that's just what I do! There are so many others with fertility issues or who have had many m/c's & have a much bigger reason to worry than I do, I concieved at first chance without even planning to but also know life guarantees nothing for anyone! After I saw the heartbeat the scan tech told me that and I felt better, I just started getting nervous again this week as my next appt aproaches! I know I will worry about this baby for the next several mos then the rest of it's life :)

Ttcnumbertwo you are right! Easier said than done! I just have to remember to leave it with God and not worry to much, it def doesn't change or help anything to worry!
 
I think its natural for us to worry. I garentee all those M2B who are saying they are just relaxing and taking it as it comes panic if they get a belly ache, or feel nervous before a scan. I like to think its a bit of practise for the joys of motherhood!

I think its also easy to see on here to see quite a few of the sad stories - and I know for one I find that hard. I've had to limit myself to this thread, and the August thread occasionally, as otherwise I feel overwhelmed with all the threads in 1st tri about peoples sad losses.

I'm a worrier, and I'm also an obsessor. I always have been! And seen as this is probably the biggest few months we will ever experience, especially for our first-timers, it would be wierd if we weren't freaking out! I know, for me at least, that I'm a bit of a pessimist in general. I tend to prepare myself for the worst, and then when it doesn't happen its a bonus. Sounds pathetic really, but it saves the hurt if things do go wrong. It's how I've learnt to cope with bad things, and its come through in the pregnancy as well. I wish I wasn't like it - and believe me, after working myself up so much over the past couple of week, I've been trying to stop it.

And, in all honestly, I'm so glad it's not just me!
 
I also read that about the 95 percent today!
I am almost 12 weeks which is the magic nr, so i hope ic an start relaxing then!
 
On the way to the doc! Praying I get a scan or hear the hb at least! Praying all is well! I couldn't sleep last night for worrying!

Also sleeping is getting uncomfortable already. I didn't expect this but my back hurts & I get ligament pain and cramps etc depending on how I sleep and I cannot get comfortable! Is anyone else having this problem? It's very recent, like the past week or less ... I feel like a hypochondriac bc I don't feel like it should be an issue yet but it is? And I feel like I have restless leg syndrome! My legs won't be still long enough for me to sleep! It's so frustrating!
 
I have been getting shortness of breath already for about 2 weeks and numbness. Asked my Ob about it this past Tuesday and she says that some symptoms start earlier in different pregnancies.. seems like the numbness is a little better.. I had it 3 days in a row..then it stopped.. Not complaining it's annoying. At 11 weeks..baby isn't big enough to be putting pressure on anything yet.

Our bodies go through a lot while pregnant..Most of which we don't even realize. It is what is.. what to do about it? I think I am investing in a body pillow again, though. It may help with sleep..granted it crowds out :haha: hubby.

Good Luck on your appt today..
 
Good luck Love_Krystal, hopefully you get to see lovely bubbas heartbeat today!

ejsmom - I've been so short of breath, which is ridiculous really when you think about it! Granted, I've been ill for a couple of weeks, and as I am a recently ex-smoker who was prone to chest infections, I think its just my body having fun!

I agree.. ours bodies like to mess with us.. Don't get me wrong..expected shortness of breath but at about 7 or 8 months.. I don't smoke or anything.. I actually thought I was developing asthma.. but Ob said..it's pregnancy. Ohh.. can you imagine what it's going to feel like at 7 or 8 months? Eek!
 
I know - I thought that last night as I had to prop myself up! I have a feeling that for the last trimester we'll all be thinking back to "our easy 1st tri!".
 
Well I didn't get a scan haha but the doctor was able to find the heartbeat with the Doppler pretty easy :) a lovely sound :) and all sounded well :) & everything else was good :)

She told me back pain, round ligament pain, shortness of breath etc even at 11 weeks was normal and just to get a body pillow :) and to be careful lifting the little boy I keep since my back is hurting!
 
Wow my back hurts!!!! Right in the middle lower back!!! Anyone else got this wondering if it's more stretching out??
 
Hello :) hope everyones doing well :)

I had my booking appointment today, went well etc but didn't get to hear heartbeat nor did she check my stomach but I'm guessing that's because I'm not showing yet. Just really looking forward to scan on Tuesday, I think that's will set my mind at ease and make things seem real :)
