NOVEMBER 2015 RAINBOWS. Please Join Us!

[girlinyork]

My husband slaved over a dinner last night which I threw up. First time I've properly vomited in pregnancy ever

 

[nickielg]

SweetV-Glad the bleeding has stopped! Mine has too. =) Do you stay with the high risk doc the rest of your pregnancy?

Girlinyork-Great scan. Love it! =) Sorry you had your first vomiting experience. =(

Ladybird-Sounds like you did have quite the busy weekend. Mine was pretty low key, just was a bum mostly haha.

afm-I have an appt Friday & I'm so excited. I have a million questions now though. I'm also afraid they may put me on modified as well, I keep having a bit of spotting after BMs, and I'm wondering if I was on my feet too much last week since the kids were outta school at the daycare. If only I had understanding bosses, I don't think I'd be so scared if I was required to sit down more. I'm dying for an office job, but ever since I've moved here to NC almost 3 years ago, it has been impossible to find one. I apply like every single day.

 

[Ladybirdgb]

Ladies sooo glad your bleeding has stopped you should push the docs towards recommending modified duties just gently guide them like by saying my boss does not believe I need to be flinging anything less they say they need to see it in paper from a doctor before they believe what I'm saying lol!!!! Just a subtle hint lol

Sweet I'm keeping everything crossed two more weeks and I'm in second tri I can't believe it's so near now. I have actually got some brochures for baby stuff no harm in looking right?

 

[nickielg]

Lady- I kinda hope I do get put on modified. I work at a daycare so it'll be hard, all I really want is permission to sit when I feel i need too. DH and I need to save up some more money before I consider going part time at all.

Glad you're almost to the 2nd trimester! Seems like time is really starting to fly now!

 

[SweetV]

GIY - oh no! I remember when I was pregnant with DS and had a craving for takeout and DH got up in the middle of the night to get it for me and as soon as he brought it home I started throwing up and couldn't eat it. I felt so bad! It's the only time I've ever thrown up as well. Sometimes I wish I could.

nickielg - I'm actually not sure how long I will be with the high risk although as it is a prematurity clinic I think I will be there from 12 weeks on. It is the doctor that delivered my angel who is AMAZING but it will be hard going back to that hospital again. Yay for your appt on Friday!

Lady - that is exactly what I was thinking I needed to do. If I suggest that they are still urging me to do tasks that I feel are unsafe perhaps they will be a little more quick to fill out the paperwork for me. My second trimester loss was after a 14 hour day on my feet. I had worked 9 days straight and my shortest day was 12 hours. I'm only asking for them to say I can only do 40 hours/week and that breaks are mandatory every 2-3 hours for me to sit.

afm - back at work fully today and actually feeling pretty good. I think up and moving all day long and I don't have the energy to realize that I don't have energy. The weather here is finally beautiful and I think it is having a great effect on my mood.

 

[nickielg]

Sweetv- I'm glad you love your doctor! That's always a plus I left the practice that delivered my angel because they just let her go, didn't even try anything.

I still have to see the same maternal fetal doc at the hospital though and I'm not so excited about that since he said my baby had Trisomny 18, but showed no signs of it after she was delivered.

But my new docs are amazing, they want to have a step by step plan and make sure every part of this journey is taken care of and that baby and I are well.

And wow sweet that's a lot of working! I bet your doctor will allow you to work those hours and have those rests.

Afm- a rainy Tuesday. I'm so weird about pregnancy this time. I'm excited for Friday inwardly but afraid to show it outwardly like I'm going to jinx myself.

 

[SweetV]

I know exactly what you mean about jinxing yourself. I'm so afraid to tell anybody or think about the future.
I'm sorry about your MFM. I hope he is better for you this time.

 

[nickielg]

I hope he's better too, I actually think my doc said I would be seeing a new lady doc there, so hopefully!

I ended up calling my doc a little bit ago because again after my usual morning bm (sorry tmi) I had a bit of spotting. A nurse called me and said it was probably just from the small bleed they saw on the U/S. They didn't even tell me I have an SCH when I had my U/S 3 weeks ago but hopefuly it'll resolve itself. I'm hoping they don't make me come in before Friday though.

 

[kwynia]

Darn spotting! I hope it goes away and stays away

 

[CelticNiamh]

Hi all

I am 8 weeks now and waiting on my first booking in appointment thought I hear today but nope

I am supper nervous as if I am going to spot it will happen this week I have had it in nearly all my pregnancies but mostly good out comes so holding on to that!

I am noticing some pain in both sides I wonder if it is round ligament pain anyone else notice it at all

symptom wise feel sick, major food aversions, smells and visual can set me off gagging I am so glad symptoms are strong

 

[kwynia]

I have a lot of round ligament pain, seems stronger at night for me, turning in bed. I also feel this weird twitchy/vibration sensation right over my pubic bone, I think maybe a pinched nerve. It comes and goes, but is really annoying.

 

[Klipsa]

Hi ladies
I'm due on 22nd of November and had a scan today to confirm that everything is ok (thank God) as I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks on New Year's Eve. Was delighted to see baby's heartbeat and he/she is measuring a few days ahead of my dates
Congrats to you all and wish you happy and healthy pregnancies

 

[SweetV]

nickielg - I'm sorry about the spotting but may I please say I'm jealous you have regular BM. I'm not sure if it's the additional progesterone I have to take or regular pregnancy but I'm lucky to go once a week. I eat fibre, fruit and try not to eat too much high fat but it's not helping at all.

Celtic - Welcome! It does sound like round ligament pain.

Kwynia - my round ligament pain is usually noticeable when I turn over in bed. Ouch.

Klipsa - seeing that heartbeat is such a great feeling. I have a history of mmc as well so I know that going to a scan can bring high anxiety.

afm - long day today and the exhaustion is back. I was so tired that I totally forgot that I only have one day until my scan! Hope I get to take home a picture tomorrow as well. This will be the first pregnancy that I will have so many keepsakes before baby is here.

 

[Love4you]

Just as I was starting to relax a tiny bit with this pregnancy I just noticed a tiny blob of brown tinged cm.
Of course I'm panicking and my OB office doesn't open til 9am tomorrow.
I know most people don't worry too much about brown blood but that's how my last MMC started.
And I'm scheduled to work a 16 hour day tomorrow too. I'm a nurse and I really have to go in.
I just want to cry.
Sorry for the negative post.

 

[girlinyork]

Oh no Love4You how stressful. Do you have a Doppler you can try? How soon can you get a scan? X

 

[nickielg]

Thank you Sweetv! I'm sorry you're going thru that. I hope it gets better for you soon.

Klipsa-welcome!

Love4you-I'm sorry, I hope everything is okay for you. Hopefully you can be seen.

Afm-had an episode of bleeding last night. It was only when I wiped, but it was bright red like when you're AF is really starting to ramp up. I'm gonna call the doc again today just to be safe. Now it's just back to brown. I have a bit of cramping this morning too, but I think it's just growing pains hopefully. I feel like this is torture, I just wish I had an eventful pregnancy.

 

[Love4you]

I agree! We so deserve BORING pregnancies.

No more spotting for me. And since it was only a tiny bit my OB isn't worried at all. So I guess I just keep scrutinizing the tp.

I'm so ready for second tri.

I haven't gotten a Doppler but I'm def considering it. I'm just thinking it may make me more nervous than relieved?

 

[SweetV]

Love - try not to worry too much. I know it's hard but again brown blood is old. Have you had a scan already? I hope they get you in today. I know the pressure of work all too well. Try not to take too much on yourself.

nickielg - that's exactly what happened to me. When I wiped it was bright red and like af starting. It went as quickly as it came. Try to keep your feet up if you can. Do you have a scan soon? Will they see you sooner because of the bleeding.

 

[nickielg]

Yes I actually have a scan in 45 mins. after I saw the blood last night I just sat on the couch for the rest of the night with my feet up until bed.

I'm scared but excited to see my bub.

I'll keep you ladies updated for sure.

 

[SweetV]

I'm still waiting to see the doctor. This was one of my longest ultrasounds for this pregnancy as it was almost 45 minutes. I did get 3 pictures and she showed me arms, legs heartbeat so hopefully that's a good sign.

Nickielg - any update? How was your scan?
