PAL - August 2012 Rainbow babies!

[struth]

Struth I don't know I am waiting on my referral. Feeling pretty nervous about having to wait.

I hope it comes through soon x

 

[struth]

Great news Kozmik and Newbie!!!!

 

[9babiesgone]

Thanks struth.

 

[BabyBumpLove]

Babybumplove - glad to hear that the ms has kicked in and you are reassured by it. I'm happy I have it but am struggling a bit. I guess one good thing is that it has distracted me from worrying about the bean growing away! I just hope that it doesn't get any worse and that it doesn't last too long.

Yes that is exactly how I feel. It is good to know baby bean is growing and the hormones are raging! When I had my mc I didn’t have ms at all, I really had no symptoms what so ever. I am very conscious of everything my body is doing right now. Last time I was 6 weeks 5 days when I began to lose my little June bug and I was 7 week the day she finally left us. So I have 7 more days to get through to be past my MC anniversary. So let the MS and sore boobs and fatigue continue to give me reassurance.

Babybumplove - how are you feeling today? I am actually feeling a little ikky and I'm ssssooooo happy

My ms has subsided today, and to be honest it worries me! I need those symptoms to keep me sane ha-ha. I’m glad you understand the happiness it brings! GO MS!!

 

[NewbieLisette]

Thanks struth yes it does now can't wait till scan on 20th xx how's you today xx

Thanks struth - tried ringing epau today as dr told me they were scanning today but he lied haha! I'll have to ring tomorrow and see when they want to scan me again, dr said if they want to do bloods they will arrange that too. He was only the on-call so didn't have my notes or history etc.

How you doing?

Thanks for asking ladies - I've been struggling these last few days to be honest. I never thought ms would be like this! Still I'll take it if my bean is healthy.... but boy.... it is a good job I'm not at work - I don't think I would function!

MrsMoo - oh, you must have been livid. I hope that they will scan you again and look for growth. Keep us posted xx

Sorry to hear this struth Wishing you some smooth tummy sailing soon! When is your next scan or check up sweetie? Have you asked your Dr about a pill you can take to help?

 

[struth]

Thanks ladies - I don't have any appointments booked at the moment. I need to ring the drs tomorrow to make my appointment with the midwife which should be in a week or two. I'm also going to book a private scan in a couple of weeks. If it gets any worse I will head to the drs but I'm just about coping at the moment - just happy for symptoms

 

[bizzy27]

MrsMoo... I can't believe you are able to keep your composer so well. I would be throwing a hissy fit.

I am not sure how it is in the UK..but here in the states..if your dr is unwilling to scan you and you honestly feel there is an issue, we go to Emergency Room. (I did that even though it was mainly to calm my own fears - as there was nothing really bad.. I just couldnt stay calm without KNOWING)

Can you do that kind of thing in the UK?

 

[MrsMoo72]

Haha! Well I was only scanned on sat and they only saw a small sac so I think it benefits me if I wait a few more days. I don't think they will have me booked in till Friday anyway but I just want to know when it is so I can start panicking hehe!!! And the longer I wait, the longer I can cling to the bit of hope I have now...

 

[NewbieLisette]

Moo its gonna be ok girlie, you'll see! You got a strong one in there who isin't letting go! Have faith my friend!

Struth totally agreed! isin't it the BEST!!!!!

Hey Bizzy - how you feeling girl?

I got word back from my Dr. and he's very happy with my #'s today! YAY for that! He suggested i skip a week since there is no need! Feel sooo relieved....for today ofcourse!

 

[jd83]

So glad everyone is getting good numbers and having some MS, haha! That is great!

I just got another round of bloodwork today, since I am still spotting bright red (almost 2 weeks of this now, crazy!) and numbers came back right where they should be. Whew! So relieved, I was such a nervous wreck all weekend. I have another scan Thursday to see how much baby has grown. Can't wait!

 

[bizzy27]

Newbie - funny .. I have been so into everyone else's stories and updates that I haven't done much updating of my own. *blush*

Well, as you all know I have lossed 3 and this one has been driving me crazy. With my week 5 spotting on and off for 5 days and the supreme lack of any crazy symptoms.. if it wasnt for my numbers I would seriously question if I was even preggers at all..

With that being said you cannot laugh when I tell you that last week I was soo nervous that something was wrong and of course hadn't had an U/S in almost 2 weeks so I was dying to know if babybizzy was good. My dr wont see me until my Medicaid shows me active in their system (even though it shows me active in Medicaids system) ..
They were SUPPOSE to set me up with an initial OB appt. and another U/S.

Well, I decided that waiting was just not an option for me.. as I honestly thought that the stress of not knowing would be worse on the baby than anything.. Plus I would hate to have waited for all this to kick in only to get bad news... So I took my neurotic butt up to the Emergency Room and they drew a bunch of blood and did an U/S there. And it wasnt like at the Dr.s office.. they were "in there" for the better part of 20 or more minutes looking at everything.. my ovaries..my tubes..my utuerus .. the sac,yolk, and baby.
I am not the best at reading blood results but I did gather my HCG was at 83K and they told me baby was about 7w5d and had a hb of 156.

Since then I have FINALLY told my DH .. (longest 5weeks of my life) and now that he knows I was free to tell the rest of my family. He is waiting to tell his. Understandable.
Of course I still worry with my lack of symptoms and of course my recent FACE PLANT in the grocery store parking lot (story in my journal).. but I hold on TIGHT to all the positive #s and U/S's I have had so far and consider myself very lucky as many of you ladies are still awaiting ONE U/S..

I am constantly rooting for all of you ladies and hope we all have our beautiful rainbow babies in 2012

Thought I was starting with MS yesterday as I felt really nauseous all day... but not much today,argh. Don't feel like eating anything, but that's all really. Is that bad? Heh, I know I worry too much...

Crossing my fingers and thinking good thoughts for everyone!

 

[filipenko32]

Bizzy that's great news!! X x x
Anyone getting small headaches?
I'm very off food and nausea had definitely kicked in for me but I don't really take it as a good sign as I had it when I've miscarried so... Don't worry silver!
Good luck to everyone having scans or blood checks today x x

 

[struth]

Morning ladies - well this must be a record. 9.30am and no morning sickness....yet! I'll be so glad of a day off today - although no doubt I'll start fretting at some point if it doesn't come back!

So glad everyone is getting good numbers and having some MS, haha! That is great!

I'm off food too - weetabix and cheese on toast is keeping me going for now. I just can't stand the thought of most foods - urgh... and it is so not like me. We are surrounded by lovely foods and chocolates from Christmas and I just don't feel like any of it. I don't think it is bad - I think they say to trust your body x

Bizzy that's great news!! X x x

Hi there! I had headaches from 5-7 weeks.

 

[BabyBumpLove]

Wow I am learning that my MS starts around 11 am with just a queasy tummy and by about 12pm I am dizzy and on the verge and losing my breakfast. Sometimes I do sometimes I don’t. By about 1 or 2 pm it is usually gone. I am a teacher, so right now I am on Christmas holidays. Being sick from 11 to 2 is ok right now, but when I’m back at work, it could be interesting! I would rather have morning or night ms so I could still do my job without wanting to puke ha ha.

 

[NewbieLisette]

Hey girlies :wave:

How's everyone doing today?

Awesome news JD Will be anxiously awaiting a beautiful scan pic tmmr!

Struth any news for ya today?

Emma are you around sweetie?

Bizzy I'm the same way...crazy impatient and everyday I feel like I "NEED" an U/S even though my appt is only Feb.7 (my bday) when I'll be 11weeks!!!!! I swear though If I saw or felt anything weird I'd do the same...straight to emergency! YAY for telling H Hold on tight sweetie! Its a bumpy ride for us all esspecially during these first few weeks!

Babybumplove ikk that can't be easy! Hope you make it through the days ok!

AFM - I'm feeling a little calmer today. I actually got some sleep last night

 

[KozmikKitten]

Newbie...so jealous! I need sleep sooo bad! Cant function at work!

 

[NewbieLisette]

Newbie...so jealous! I need sleep sooo bad! Cant function at work!

Aww sweetie sorry to hear! If it makes you feel better its only one night cuz I had like 5 in a row that were total insomnia

How are you feeling besides not being able to function! LOL

 

[KozmikKitten]

I feel pretty good actually! I have the insomnia thing going on, and breast tenderness, but other than that, I am getting on pretty well! How about you?
