Glad the scans have gone well ladies, I have my 8th scan tomorrow, or is it 9th lol - Lost count.

Hopefully you've stopped bleeding C Beary.

Thanks everyone. Bleeding has stopped now. I went in to get it checked. MW couldn't quite get hb on Doppler so I had another scan and baby was still there, strong hb and moving away. Being pregnant is very stressful but so pleased everything is good!

 

[c beary83]

Lost - please can you change my edd to 12th Oct

So glad to hear everything's well with your LO c beary

Wow Lost so many scans! I'm a bit jealous as I would love to see another scan of my LO already Oh well, will have to wait until around 20 weeks I think before my next scan.

I was so sick yesterday when I got home from work ... I vomited so much I ended up peeing my pants even though I peed before then

I immediately took a bath afterwards and just crawled into bed ... I literally only ate 2 slices of toast and slept until this morning

I hope this passes soon ...

Kat good luck with the painting this weekend and with the annoying friend ... oh and good luck with your scan today

Ajarvis LOL that's just crazy how they think they know its a boy

Clandestine I hope you get the job fx

Like cold sick or pregnant sick? All of a sudden yesterday My stomach was just a mess - sick to my stomach couldn't get out of bed. Lots of what I think was round ligament pain. Sore hips, legs, sides. CLeared up a bit in the middle of the night. But wasn't able to eat all day until his evening. Not sure if it was pregnancy related or sickness. Still tender stomach, but slowly seems to be getting better.

I woke up to bright red bleeding this morning

Do you think it could be because of the scan? She was pressing really hard on my tummy

Thanks everyone. Bleeding has stopped now. I went in to get it checked. MW couldn't quite get hb on Doppler so I had another scan and baby was still there, strong hb and moving away. Being pregnant is very stressful but so pleased everything is good!

Oh yay! Glad you got some reassurance! I bled alot with my oldest for no explained reason all the way until the final month

C beary Im glad everything is ok hun that mustve been so stressful

Lost good luck with your scan today ...

Ajarvis morning sickness sick ... I hope that was the last of me vomiting ...

Kat I hope the 20weeks scan comes quickly for you

 

[KatO79]

ajarvis I'm also experiencing a fair amount of RLP right now plus uterine stretching Seems to come in spurts with me, especially the RLP. I'm sorta used to them since I've been experiencing RLP since just shy of 6 weeks.

As for sickness I still get that as well. Just yesterday I ate one of my small snack cheeses (I seem to be craving cheese a bit) and shortly after eating it, it came back up again Managed to down another one later though. I would say that generally my nausea has decreased (so it's not all day anymore that goes on for a few days) but I still do get those sickness episodes. Hopefully we'll all soon not get sick anymore

Thanks Blessed, yeah here's hoping time goes by quick

 

[Blessedbaby]

Ive noticed since yesterday I seem to have more energy and Im also sleeping better at night now that Im sleeping elevated due to the acid reflux ...

I really hope second tri is kind to us all

 

[MissCassie]

Is anyone else getting really really bad headaches? Ive been getting them for a week now and they are progressively getting worse
Im eating properly and drinking loads of water and they just dont get better

 

[Blessedbaby]

I had one last week that lasted 4days ... I hope it gets better for you

 

[Lost7]

Thanks for the good luck messages

Baby was upside down to begin with and I was sick again this morning, you'd not think I was only 2 days away from being 15 weeks would you?

Did get a picture today, albeit not the best. Can see the facial features and a big belly (already takes after me) and I took my first birds eye shot today. Yeah, I am definitely becoming more round.

 

[FaithyJ]

Miss Cassie....
I'm 11w4d today and on day two of a killer headache.. I wake up with it and it just sticks around all day long

 

[ajarvis]

I've had mild headaches so far this second tri, but with my oldest I had them severe and I never found anything that helped them hope you have better luck!

Thankfully feeling better today. I'm thinking it was all relaxin lol. round ligament pain and all the rest.

 

[MissCassie]

Ive been given some panadine to help with the headaches im going to have to see my doctor about it. Because its becoming ridiculous now.

 

[ajarvis]

15 Weeks today Saturday's are great for so many reasons lol

 

[Lost7]

15 weeks tomorrow!

 

[twinkie2]

Hey ladies! Congrats to all of you! Mind if I join, due October 13th!!!

Hi all. I'm also late to this forum, but I've been following along. Lots of complications with this pregnancy have meant that I've been hesitant to join or introduce myself, but think I'm confident enough now.

I'm due the 11tb October with my 3rd baby. I have an older daughter and son and had a mmc back in December. This pregnancy was a nice bonus.

Unfortunately I've had lots of concerns. I started bleeding at 9 weeks, similar to when I had my mmc at 11 weeks in December and thought I had lost this one too. Turns out I had a hematoma and baby was happily kicking away. I bled every day until this week when it finally seems to have stopped.
my 12 week scan showed a really high heart beat for the baby (190 bpm) and I am now under specialist care at the hospital to see if there are any reasons for this. My trisomy 13 results showed I am higher risk, but I opted out of a cvs as the specialist didn't see anything in my last scan that would indicate the baby has trisomy 13, other than the high heart rate. My next scan will be when I'm 17 weeks to have a detailed scan to check for any markers and to look at the heart rate. I'm nervous and my husband and I are keeping the pregnancy only to close friends and family until we get the all clear at 17 weeks. We have also decided not to tell our other kids, although my son charmingly remarked about my "big fat tummy" this morning, so not sure how long we'll get away with it. If there are more concerns raised at the 17 week scan, we'll get an amnio. I'm hopefully that all is well.

Has anyone else had a high heart rate at their 12 week scan? Normal is usually between 120-180 I think. My 13 week scan the baby's rate was at 180, but it should be between 120-165 at this time I think.

Phew! So that was my rather long and detailed intro to myself. I hope everyone here is well and coming out of the first tri-funk and starting to feel a bit more human.

 

[ajarvis]

Congrats lady! Sorry you're having a stressful pregnancy so far. I have no experience with high heart rates, but I hope you get good news at your next scan!

 

[KatO79]

Sorry to all the ladies experiencing headaches, guess I've been lucky as I haven't really had any. Hope it soon gets better for all of you

Lost great to hear your scan went well

Welcome twinkie, I do believe we know each other from a few 2WW threads from back when you got pregnant with baby #1. As you can see, it took me 2 years and 3-4 months and been through 6 IUIs and 2 IVFs before getting my BFP for baby #1

Welcome lady3, sorry to hear you've had some complications/issues during your pregnancy, I truely hope it's smooth sailing from here on out As to hb rates, I have never gotten one as in Denmark they just seem to check that the hb looks fine but don't say anything about the actual rate. Don't know if they think that it wouldn't mean much to the preggnant ladies

AFM sorry for my absence this weekend. I've been helping DH and his family get our new house painted all weekend We didn't finish it all since many rooms needed and do need 3 coats of paint because the color used by the owners before us was a medium brown and we've chosen a very light color, like a white with a slight hint of brown (so like a super, super light cream). Only exception was the nursery that is painted light yellow. So DH and his parents and I will try and get the rest done sometime during the week and maybe take a day during next weekend as well. We've now told DH's brother and cousin and they seemed pretty happy for us so that was good although the cousin doesn't know we've had such a problem conceiving
