Is anyone else having a terrible time falling asleep? I can be so tired when I go to bed, but I toss and turn for one or two hours trying to find a position that doesn't hurt my back or hips, or doesn't put pressure on my stomach, or I am too hot or too cold. My husband gets so irritated!

My only issue is the hot and then cold thing! My husband had made me start using my own blanket, because it screws with him all night when I toss it off and then take it (and most of the rest of the blankets) back. And thankfully the only thing that causes me pain so far while laying down are my boobs, which is easily solved with a sports bra or two.

Good to see that MS is going down for most of you who had it. Sleeping / lying down is becoming problematic for me too coz no position seems to comfort my back. The Pregnancy pillow definitely helps until I fall asleep though... after that I still keep tossing around on the bed.

I'm getting hotter everyday... I mean the temperature By night DH says "you are burning!" I also have dry / chapped lips due to the inner heat. I'm trying to eat right but I'm craving spicy stuff. I should probably add cooler foods to the diet. Any suggestions?

And yay! Prune today.... 10 weeks!!! Congrats to all other milestones! La mere, cntrygirl, loopylaura, starbites ... welcome to week 10!... Quarter way through!

Newleywed, sorry your having a hard time falling asleep.. me on the other hand can fall asleep anywhere and everywhere! I have been waking couple of time in the night for a wee but thats about it.

So excited for you all !! happy 8,9,10,11 and 12 weeks ladies!!!
Welcome to all the new mommies.

Well, my 12 week scan was suppose to be tomorrow but I had a call from the hospital and now on friday as they would like me to be seen by a consultant... apparently with PCOS your at high risk of developing pregnancy related diabetes... so an extra 3 days wait! GREAT!

for the past couple of weeks I have been EXTRA tired and EXTRA EXTRA sick! gosh this MS had me morning, noon and evening. since hitting 11 weeks i feel like im getting my energy back and the MS has vanished

Heard baby on doppler yesterday hb was 178. Sure is the most beutifull sound ever!

DH is unable to make my appt on Friday as he's on a business trip abroad but we have decided to go for a 16 week private gender scan, so exciting.

we havent brought a single thing for baby yet, we want to wait until we know what it is but we have been looking at moses baskets and may buy one this weekend as we want that to be white. Can not wait to start shopping for baby clothes.

We also havent told a sole were having a baby, cant believe we've kept it quiet this long. i dont know if i can wait until Friday!!!

Do your doctors have you on Metformin at all? I've been on it for my PCOS while we were ttc to help my pcos symptoms. Now I'm pregnant my fertility doc has told me to continue taking it. Typically you keep taking it through first trimester to help decrease the risk of miscarriage but my doc is having me stay on it the whole pregnancy because it can help avoid gestational diabetes and he sees a lot of pcos patients develop GD as soon as they stop their metformin. Anyway, if GD is a concern maybe see what they think about putting you on metformin if you're not already.

Thanks for the info . Its lovely having all you ladies her for help and advice or just to listne to each other rant lol.
No.. Im not on Metformin, I'm not on anything at all. I was just about to start fertility treatment and found out i was pregnent. I'm not sure what the consultant will be doing on friday apart from my 12 week scan. do you know at what stage you would develp GD during pregnancy?

I sleep like a log everynight! This is nothing! Wait until your belly is so big you can't even breath while laying in certain positions! The last few weeks are just terrible! Enjoy your body now!

Congrats to all the Wednesday movers. As for sleeping I fall asleep and wake up 10-15 times a night either it be I'm uncomfortable, too hot, or have to pee. Lately it seems I have been getting way too hot at night.

I can fall asleep just fine, but end up waking at some point, and then it takes about an hour (sometimes more) to fall back asleep!

I had a bit of brown discharge (tmi! sorry) on my panty liner today, its the first time i've had it this pregnancy and its worrying me sick. I've just turned 12 weeks but my scan is not until friday. im so worried!

This is exactly me. It's awful and I'm so exhausted all day. I feel bad because my husband isn't getting a lot of sleep because of me and he has to get up and go to work in the morning.

have you contacted your midwife lovely? Im sure it's nothing to worry about. Sounds like old blood.

I would ring your doctor just in case but sounds like nothing. More than likely, just a lot of stretching going on in there and some things sloughing off.

 

[zebadi]

I did contact my midwife, she said as long as theres no pain or bright red blood then its fine. she said this is very normal in pregnancy but I'm not re-assured.

I guess I'll have to wait until Friday morning.
I havent had it again since so fingers crossed its just nothing.

Thanks Guys. xxx

First off, I want to apologize for lurking on our site the past few weeks. Was trying to stay offline and not cause myself undue worry.... but now I need my fellow October Mommies to help me....

Where do I start?? So, I should be 8weeks today. Had to go in for an early u/s at 5 weeks 3 days from light pink and brown spotting. Turned out at that time all we saw was a gestational sac and a tiny little yolk sac -- measured out perfectly to where I should be at that time -- 5 weeks 3 days. Dr. said that they wanted me to come back in 2 weeks to check progress -- that was on Friday 3/14. At that visit I would have been 7 weeks and 4 days. Did the u/s and saw the baby!! I was so super excited and couldn't believe how much changed in 2 weeks time. The bad thing was though that the baby was measuring behind at only 6 weeks 2 days. And they were unable to find a heartbeat. I just don't know what to think now. I am high risk too as in between my u/s I had to go back in for a blood pressure check and am now on prescription meds for my high blood pressure. I did read that sometimes having high BP can slow the growth of the baby too I am just really confused and feel really helpless right now. Not sure what to do or what to think. Have my follow up u/s tomorrow morning and as much as I want to go to see everything is ok, I don't want to go. Please anyone have a similar story or issue? How did things turn out? I know that everyone is different, just looking for someone to share in what I am feeling. thanks in advance for responding.

UPDATE:

So the news was not good . Had the u/s yesterday and the baby has actually gotten smaller in size than it was on Friday. Dr. said that my body has already started the process of miscarriage and that it was just a matter of time now. She said to decide if I wanted to do it naturally or if I wanted a d&c...... ugh. What a day. Thank you everyone for the good wishes and prayers. Heaven just has another little angel now. Love you my little blueberry!!!

Been sleeping great just in one spot to long so getting sore. Folded up a comforter and will put that under the sheet to see if that helps. Need to breakdown and buy the pillow I know

Have not felt much of anything lately but some pain when sneezing. Will be much easier/reassuring when I can feel uterus growing/baby moving soon.

 

[Kittycat155]

So sorry for your loss.
