So far this "bloat bump" sticks around 24'7... It doesn't change in size at all. Lol
Starbrites I know how you feel! Hopefully time flies until our scans!

Yep I'm exactly the same! Can't remember been this bloated in previous pregnancies :-/

I am feeling quite nervous. I have had constant nausea for over a week now and my breasts have been killing me but I have woken up this morning with nothing. I don't think it's right so feeling quite down today.

 

[StarBrites]

I was just thinking to myself that my nausea has been quite low today and my breasts don't feel so swollen. Trying my best to stay positive though!!

I have told my parents, and some other close family/friends. All the people I would tell if we miscarried anyway, I think. I plan to 'announce' it facebook-wise on Mother's Day (30th March in the UK) as it's 1 day after my birthday and the day I should turn 14 weeks.

We announced at 8 weeks last time. I don't regret it at all, without the SCH, it's likely the pregnancy would have continued to term. And even with the SCH, it was looking good. And I think I would have still made an announcement of our loss even if we hadn't announced the pregnancy before, anyway.

I think the typical time of 12 weeks is being changed now, which is good in my opinion! People are having scans and finding out information much earlier, and I'm hoping the 'taboo' of miscarriage is starting to pass and people are becoming more open to talking about it. I know someone on facebook who announced the day she got a positive test!

I had a sex dream last night. OH and I had sex in some bathroom (classy!) and then I started bleeding heavily afterwards. I think it's safe to say that dream has put me off sex for at least a few months now.

Ugh it's 430am and I am wide awake with indigestion. Looks like tacos are a no go for me!

 

[zebadi]

so 8 weeks today!!!
I'm booked for an US tomorrow but I'm feeling so nervous about it! i dont want to go... just scared of hearing the worst.

 

[whigfield]

@Zebadi Congrats on 8 weeks!! I'm sure it will be fine. I felt the same way for my scan (and pretty much every scan I have ever had!)

We have told family and a few close friends, but won't be making any official announcement until 12 weeks or later.

Haha, I use the excuse to make OH clean the litter tray - he's been doing it for the past 3 1/2 years that we've been trying, just incase. My cats are indoor cats anyway though, so I think the risk is lessened anyway.

Lol wish my hubby would clean the litter tray-he thinks I'm being dramatic or something!

My cats an indoor cat too-considering toxoplasmosis is caught when they eat
/catch live prey, doubt it's an issue as wing indoor they don't catch any birds etc.

We have a deal, I do the bathroom and hubby does the cat trays. I have my booking in appointment tomorrow but don't get an US scan until 12 weeks. I am going to ask about the possibility of a home birth so fingers crossed.

 

[zebadi]

Thanks guys.
Will let you know how I get on 2moro... I'm booked in for 9am... nice and early!

Oh perfect I like those nice and early scans I'd drive myself crazy if I had to wait until like 1 in the afternoon lol

Sounds a good deal!

I'm also thinking of a home birth, as my hospital is 35 mins drive, and last labour only 40 mins.

They are usually quite pro them. My last two midwives themselves had home births, which is quite telling.

Fingers crossed for you!

I just scheduled my first appointment for Thursday at 11 am. I was hoping to get in tomorrow but my doctor is off. I need to get a medication switched because I normally take a blood pressure pill that is not recommended during pregnancy. The pharmacist advised me on Saturday to stop taking it so I am hoping my blood pressure is not getting high while I wait for my appointment.

My right boob is sore today. I didn't have any sickness, food aversions or pain with my daughter so this is all new to me. I'm always hungry, but don't really want to eat.

Ladies, I had bleeding after intercourse last night. It was only when I wiped. This morning it's very very light brown upon wiping. I posted this on a new thread and a few ladies have calmed me down a bit. Has this happened to any of you?

Also, last night I couldn't sleep because I had a freaky dream. I went in for an ultrasound and the doctor kept doing a pelvic exam over and over. Finally, he instructed me to use a cream on my hands in for inside my vagina. I asked what it was for and what was wrong. He used some fancy word that I didn't understand. He then pointed to an aquarium full of fish and said he was afraid maybe my baby would be deformed!!! WTH! That dream freaked me out.

 

[newlywed2013]

we haven't done the deed since I found out I'm pregnant. I'm soo afraid to because I hear stories of it causing bleeding! Though @babyfeva yours sounds fine since it was just a light bleed, probably just irritated the cervix?
