[newlywed2013]

So jealous of everyone with dopplers! Hubby won't let me get one! Last I saw hb was almost 4 Weeks ago, and I have yet to hear it I am so worried about going in for my appointment Tuesday and them not finding it!

My husband won't let me get one either. I just want to hear it once and then I will be happy. I haven't heard the heartbeat or had an ultrasound yet.

Hi everyone.
Congrats to those on a new week or nearly on a new week! a week nearer each time!
Love the baby clothes zephyr
Still bleeding red-still on bed rest. Hate this waiting game. Heard the heart beat with doppler this morning though.
Hope everyone's doing ok.

That's great about the heartbeat, yo yo! Keep taking it as easy as possible--praying for and thinking of you!!

I overdid it yesterday and I'm paying for it today. I went for a walk and walked around the mall for a couple of hours. My leg is so sore today.

I woke up feeling quite sick this morning. I took my blood pressure and the systolic (top) number was low and the diastolic (bottom) number was a bit high. This has happened a few times lately. I will be talking to my OB about it when I see him.

Rest lovely. feet up and relax for a bit. Definitely worth mentioning if your feeling not great to your ob. X

I'm trying to relax as much as possible. I'm babysitting my friends son again today, she had to have a repeat ultrasound for her 20 week one. I watch her son for her ultrasounds and she watches my daughter during mine.

Hope you get some rest!! That's great that you and your friend can swap babysitting like that! : )

Mommyberry- hope your doing ok today. Thinking if you. Hope the bleeding has gone now

It was almost gone and just couple hours ago I had a huge red bleed this time with some clumpy thing.

Called doc. She said there can be nothing really done at this stage except to rest, wait and watch. I have a scan scheduled for tomorrow. But the waiting game is on just like yours Yo_yo. She asked me to use progesterone anyways so that the cervix relaxes but nothing really for the bleed.

Praying all is well for both of us!

I'm so sorry you are having such a scary go of things right now, mommyb! Praying that all is well with your little one, and that you have a great scan tomorrow!

:wave: sending hugs, and lots of positive vibes to those who're having troubles.

I'm almost 10 weeks! wohoo, that's gone fast. So far nothing has happened with my hematoma too so I'm really hoping that it's gone by my 12 week scan

Also feeling awful because all I can eat is junk I had mcdonalds for dinner yesterday, and I'm having dominos for tea tonight. I feel so guilty, as I'm already over weight but this pregnancy I just don't feel like eating anything other. I really need to sort it out soon, in my last two pregnancies I gained hardly any weight at all really. Any reassurance from anyone that this won't hurt the baby any way? I'm taking all my vitamins and other than the junk today and yesterday I did have healthier meals the rest of the week.

My Doppler is a savior! It keeps my mind at ease!

The baby takes what he/she needs from you. : ) you have to eat what you can keep down at this point. As you start to feel better, make the best choices you can. With my son, I was so sick that I lost 15 pounds in the first trimester. My doctor encouraged me to just eat what I could stomach, make good choices when I could, and reassured me that the baby was taking from me everything that was needed. YOU may feel awful from making junky choices lol, but baby is just fine. : ) I hope you feel better soon! Its miserable not being able to eat good food. : (

Sisterrose - I'm exactly the same! Just wanting junk food all the time! I'm trying to balance with the odd healthy snack but I'm also feeling guilty.

Just coming on to vent for a second. I'm beyond pissed. My coworker comes in today and says "Oh I have the Norovirus and am still contiguous. Make sure to wash your hands and use hand sanitizer." Ummm! Stay home!! I am so mad. I cannot get this again - I had it last month already. How rude and inconsiderate of her! I work like 5 feet away from her. And we all have babies - if my son gets this - I am going to be beyond livid. Ugh. I just don't understand people. If your sick, stay home. You have the time to take off. Ok end rant.

Grr-it's people like that who cause germs and virus to spread! Keep out if her way honey

I think the clots are a good sign believe it or not-your body is trying to clot the bleed...I've been googling crazy these past few days.
Drink plenty, feet up, breath slowly and be calm and things will be ok lovely
Staying hydrated prevents the uterus contracting which can increase bleeding. Keeping your feet up will allow your body to focus energy into healing.
Good luck for scan-thinking of you x

Ps if you want someone to talk to through this crazy time, pm me I know how horrible it is, and what your going through-and your not alone

I ate pancakes and ice cream every morning for breakfast when I was pregnant with the twins and I craved ice cream with everything even a meat burger ewww and I ate alot of mcds too and I made curry pizzas and I ate steak cooked in cream.
they turned out fine (one had very severe reflux but we have a family history so I dont think it was diet related) however I did try and balance it out and ate lots of salads and fruit even though I didnt feel like it as much as I wanted junk.

ive gone off sugar this time and after I had the twins my health plummeted and I wound up with multiple food intolerances including gluten so my junk food choices are very limited now sob sob. I've only just started eating dairy again since being pregnant cos I keep having cheese cravings.
I eat lots of peri peri sauce I put it on everything

Omg that irritates me! I hate it when people do that!!
I had a friend who would always visit with his kid while sick when my twins were babies and it was awful.....so bad that when he phoned or came over my first question was "are you sick?" If he said yes id say no or tell him to go away lol
parents sending kids to school sick is also a big issue I have! My girls used to do ballet and even the teachers encouraged them to still go sick but to just sit and watch grrrr we were sick every 2nd week!
I just don't understand what goes through people's heads your co worker should absolutely stay home!
Why doesnt the boss send them home? Hopefully you dont catch it.

Hi ladies--I know some of you may be far enough along now that nausea has waved goodbye, but for those of you still struggling with "morning" sickness (possibly 24 hours a day lol) I stumbled across this drink recipe, and let me tell you--NOTHING has curbed my nausea like this did, and it was immediate. So I thought I'd share the mix for anyone who wants to try! Hope you're all feeling well!

1 cup cold water
10 drops real lime juice
1/2 teaspoon of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of baking soda

I will now be drinking this often! : )

Anyone in maternity clothes yet? x

 

[MamaMac123]

Yo yo and mommyberry - got my fingers crossed and saying prayers for both your little babes!!! Hope everything is okay! Get lots of rest!

Zephyr - such cute clothes!!!! Love it!

I hear you guys on the junk food. I force myself to eat fruit. Luckily I still love veggies but mostly I want bad carbs and sweets. I've been craving cheese a lot lately and pickles so those aren't too bad. I can polish off some crazy big bowls of cereal though. So bad!

 

[MamaMac123]

Just saw this on Facebook and had to share given our recent topic of conversation lol

 

[newlywed2013]

Anyone in maternity clothes yet? x

I am. My clothes were a bit tight to begin with and got uncomfortable fast

 

[slowloris]

I also got some mat trousers as only had one pair that fit! And that's with an elistic band through the button. Mostly down to major bloat!
