ok so who wants to get pregnant in 2011? (closed group)

[babyhopes2323]

sorry you guys are feeling sick on and off and it may feel horrible while you have it but its constant reassurance as to how pregnant you guys are.. !

 

[Huggles]

Just wanted to pop in and say hi. Nothing much to report

 

[flyingduster]

Aww baby, I was closer to 7 weeks when I started getting nausea, and PLEASE remember that having NO morning sickness or nausea is JUST AS NORMAL as throwing up all the time!!! I know you want the symptoms, but the symptoms don't make it any more reassuring, cos then they stop for a day or two and you start to wonder if things are ok or not... ugh.

Lol, I don't think there is any way to NOT worry in the first tri! And from what I've been looking at, the worries don't stop at all, they just change through the whole pregnancy, and then the worries get even worse when we have a defenceless lil baby to care for, and then a toddler that is getting into things..... etc etc. Basically, we're gonna spend the rest of our lives worrying about this little life!!!



HUGGLES!!! HIIII!!!! I was thinking of you earlier... hope all is well with you hun!!!

 

[Huggles]

All is well, just nothing much to report.

 

[babyhopes2323]

Hi Huggles, nice seeing you again..x

Flying , i know what youre saying and it makes sense, but today after the brown spotting/discharge like thing, i couldnt wait, i went for a second opinion, woman saw the first baby and it seemed fine and she said it could be that the second g sac is dissolving which is why, but she said i should have bed rest at the moment and not drive or anything..

she took a swab of the discharge and checked it for infection, she said there was none and what she also said was there were no red blood cells in the discharge.

how is that possible? then she checked me and said she couldnt find any brown discharge and when i came home, now this afternoon after having lunch, i had dark brown to almost pinkish red discharge on the toilet paper and am wearing a panty liner !

my first doc said i shouldnt be worried even if it is red but i think thats being too optimistic !

how can i sit there and watch this brown/ red spots whatever not wondering whether it is the healthy baby??

i now have to wait until the 22nd for my 8 week scan to determine the twin, but todays doc said 95 % chance there isnt a twin, but if thats the case, i just want it to be absorbed within my body instead of spotting/discharge.

i know they say that an irritated cervix could also be the reason due to increase in blood flow, and today to take a swab she did put her gloved finger in, (sorry if TMI !!! )

could it be that ???

oh god i need some assurance im so worried about wearing a pantyliner now !

 

[Huggles]

I'm pretty sure the swab is what caused the pinkish discharge. Some ladies spot regularly after every scan! And that's not even internal! So probably the swab and sticking her finger in there is what is causing the discharge. Hopefully it stops soon so you can relax again.

 

[Huggles]

The dark brown could very well be leftover implantation blood. Brown is old blood so very seldom anything to worry about. I've heard a lot of ladies mention brown spotting/discharge around 6 weeks, so try not to worry too much

Hi...

Babyhopes, you should take her advice and rest

Hope everyone is ok.

We spent last night/early morning in A&E (ER for those in the States) as my daughter couldn't breathe. They gave her steroids to help her and we're back home and she's sleeping. Still not breathing properly, but it'll take time to clear. It's croup which is a viral infection and affects their airways and lungs.

I would say that your worries begin in the first tri.. and they just get worse. The fear that goes through you when your daughter is struggling to breathe is something I can not explain. It's best to just try relax, take each day as it comes and try and enjoy things as much as possible.

I'm supposed to be seeing a consultant, but i've not heard anything yet, I'm not going to chase it... i'll just wait and see what happens.

 

[Huggles]

Shame sorry to hear Lottie has Croup - that must be really scary. My cousin's children suffer quite badly with croup. All i know is a hot steamy room helps, but obviously you need meds as well - but for immediate relief if you sit in the bathroom with the door closed and all the hot water taps on full blast making steam then that helps a bit.

Hope she gets better soon

 

[Huggles]

Also, apparently what can set off an attack is a sudden change in temperature. So if she's had a bath and then goes outside into the cool air, then her chances of having an attack later that night increase significantly. I tihnk even a sudden change in weather can trigger an attack. Just something to bear in mind.

 

[MummyCat]

Thanks hun, yeah we've done the steamy bathroom...she also has a humidifier belting out steam in her room, her bed is raised, she had an anti inflammetry to bring down the swelling and she has an inhaler the doc prescribed yesterday, we didn't bath her for that reason, but still she had the attack, while lying in bed I guess she just needed the steroids as we tried everything!

 

[Huggles]

shame i really hope she recovers quickly

 

[MummyCat]

Thanks.. she's just had another dose of steroids (25 min ago) and we can hear a huge improvement! Hopefully tonight will be loads better xx

 

[babyhopes2323]

thank you so much for the advice huggles, hoping everything will be ok soon, wishing that the way for the other sac 's disappearance is through it being absorbed into the body rather than the spotting. FX'D for your BFP.

Mummy i am so very sorry to hear about lottie, i cannot imagine what you might have gone through as a parent,and my prayers are with you, and im sure she will recover soon. i have not heard of croup, it sure will be another thing ill be looking into.

Bless her. xx

take care and let us know how lottie feels.. you know mummy if i had a girl i was going to name her gemma or charlotte and i was incling too much towards charlotte as it sounds beautiful !

 

[MummyCat]

Thanks Babyhopes...she's doing a lot better today!

Here's a pic of her in hospital... looking very sorry for herself.. and this is what croup is...

What is croup?
Croup is a common childhood virus. It causes the voice box (larynx) and airway to the lungs (trachea) to swell, making it difficult to breathe. The result is a distinctive, bark-like cough. In adults it’s called laryngitis.

Croup usually affects children aged between six months and three years, although it can occur in older children (NHS 2008). It’s normally caused by a viral infection, so your baby could get it a couple of times or more during childhood (NHS 2008, Wallacy 2008).

I like both names you like! Naturally I love Charlotte!

 

[babyhopes2323]

oh no mummy, that pic is so sad,it breaks my heart to see poor lottie with that breathing mask on..

i do hope she is feeling better now..

as for names ofcourse you naturally love charlotte, i think its so classy, i would have had gemma louise bateman and charlotte ann bateman as i dont know what else goes with charlotte for middle name

for a boy i would have had Luke David Bateman or Darren James Bateman.
i also like laura but DH thinks its too old. i like kate and jenna as well.

i really love the name Ben for a boy but DH's surname is with a B so it wouldnt go !

 

[babyhopes2323]

croup sounds bad as i know laryngitis is horrible xx

 

[MummyCat]

Thanks... she's on the mend!! In bed now and will hopefully sleep soundly!

Her middle name is Marion (in honour of my Gran who passed away 4 years prior to Lottie arriving)

Your names are lovely... the only names we have are names from our last pregnancy...Annabelle Rose or James Michael... we're not going to think about any more until after 12 weeks.

Have a lovely evening!! xxx

Poor Poor Lottie! I hope for her speedy recovery. I work in the hospital taking xrays and we are having SO many little kids for chest xrays in the ER. Stuff is going around so bad. I didn't have my flu shots so im like wearing a mask a lot now that im taking care of precious cargo. Stay healthy yourself!

Baby- I have a doggie named Jemma We spelled it with a J because our other dog is Jericho. We also have a cat and a few years ago I let my daughter name him and she chose Max and that was going to be my boy's name but I couldn't have the heart to tell her no because she was so excited to have the full choice. It was either that or Sprinkles for the boy cat so we allowed Max! Lol. I can't think of names yet. Makes me too excited and I dont go that far ahead. I am scared to make it to 10- weeks!

Has the spotting let up?

 

[babyhopes2323]

oh your other names are lovely too mummy ! i know.. im trying not to get excited plus its hard to get excited when i was going through the spotting which was basically discharge that never came on to my underwear !

Ny, Gemma with a G is a more common english name for girls. i think Jenna is quite american , thats also my choice. i like arianna as well.

oh, you got your doggie named max but got to hand it to you. i love the name Ella its gorgeous !

the spotting has surprisingly stopped this morning (knock on wood) so i take the first spotting last morning was from old blood and the one in the afternoon was after internal examination by the ob gyn.

this morning i have none, and hopefully dosent come !

hows your spotting phase? has it gone? and how far gone are you>? you dont mention it in your ticker, so i have no idea.

i cant wait to make it to 8 weeks to see what my baby is like. i have the 8 week scan to determine twin pregnancy which i suspect 99 % isnt there..

i must admit NY, i got scared when you mentioned your twin MC. i was like wow that makes me feel better about my situation .... not !

sorry i thought i should let you know because it upset me..! gosh im such a loser, i just got paranoid. sorry. dont worry about it at all.

doc said that the empty sac may dissolve on its own through the body or spotting and nothing will happen to the first one because they are both in different sacs with the uterus wall as barrier. they are not in the same sac so there isnt a chance of anything happening.
