[LittleBird]

Littlebird- so sorry you re feeling so sick hun...maybe you should eat something small every 2-3 hours, i ve heard it helps with the nausea and it's much better than not eating anything.

Yeah, I keep trying to remember. I'm pretty good about eating in the evenings, probably because DH is around for me to bug. It always tastes better when someone else makes it for you!

LittleBird: Thanks for sharing your bump pic. It's lovely! NOT scary!
I think my bump made a bit of progress this week, so I'm expecting to see a visible difference when I take my 15 week shot on Saturday. I think my family and friends (and myself) will be sincerely disappointed if I don't bring home a bit of a bump for Christmas!

AFM: I've been having pretty rough days on and off. Yesterday was AWFUL - I threw up violently while I was trying to eat breakfast, then couldn't eat until hours later because of the nausea. AND I had to teach my class while feeling sick and weak! It was not easy, and by the end of the class I also had an enormous headache. I was so relieved to get home...took some tylenol, managed to eat a bit, then took a nice relaxing bath, which really helped.
Today I feel fine, but it seems to come every other day. I hope I'm not sick tomorrow - it is my staff Christmas party! Some people at work already know, but I figure everyone will know after the party.
The weekend is almost here, ladies! Hang in there!

I hope you have a nice, noticeable bump for Christmas! I really think it will happen.

I'm sorry you've been feeling so sick! I do complain about the nausea, but I haven't thrown up. I can't imagine dealing with the sickness you're describing! I heard that the sickness tapers off like that, one day sick the next fine. Hopefully you'll keep having more easy days and you can really enjoy the 2nd tri!

Ladies please pray for me and the baby...this has turned into a nightmare again...went to the bathroom just before bed and had bright red bleeding..when i pee it's quite heavy but i ve in bed since so i dont know what it ll be like if i get up �� called the dr and he said to stay in bed and call him again t

Chistiana, I'm praying that everything is OK. I know that if they do any swab of your cervix, it causes a lot of women to bleed. I definitely bled when they did my pap smear a few weeks ago. They put something on it to stop the bleeding, but I really think it could have been a lot if they hadn't. Based on the way the doctor reacted. Or maybe he was just trying to keep me from getting upset because he knows about my miscarriages. Either way, it is not surprising that you're bleeding after an exam, and if the heartbeat is still going strong, that's another positive sign that things are going to be OK. I have everything crossed that the bleeding will stop and you can relax and believe that your baby is fine!

littlebird - When I actually have a bump I'll post it LOL. The problem is I don't have much of one yet. It's been sucked in by other less friendly parts of my belly (go away fat!) But soon. So sorry you're still sick This little one's still making me puke quite a bit sometimes.

AFM - My little dragon did great today. HB was in the 150s and the OB found it immediately, as in, she put it on my belly and instant baby heartbeat. It was very very cool and even she seemed a bit surprised but very pleased. Feeling a bit relieved right now. It does seem to be kicking the crap out of my bladder and I've been peeing on myself. I feel very girly and graceful peeing on myself. I feel like I should be wearing a diaper or something... Thank you all so much for the wonderful thoughts!

I can't wait until you have a beautiful bump that you can share with us!

I am so happy that you had a great heartbeat today. Sorry to hear about the peeing incidents. The things we do for our LOs...

 

[chistiana]

Thanks littlebird when you say you bled how much was it?i am still very worried n upset even though i found a strong hb this morning too will be going to the dr to check what s going on in a couples of hous

 

[chistiana]

TTC sorry just saw your post, thanks hun all prayers are welcomed

 

[chistiana]

Girls i just came back from the dr... Baby is fine saw and heard strong hb and was very active... There is a lot of bleeding from the horn (i have a bicornuate uterus) that is not pregnant almost as if it is having a norma period... This dame thing happened with my first mc but it was much earlier on and the blood from the non pregnant side detached the placenta... Hopefully this time round the placenta is much bigger and stronger so it wont affect my pg side fxed! I am on strict bed rest until further notice but i couldnt care less as long as baby is fine! Please keep us in your prayers still we need all the positive thoughts and vibes we can get. Thank tou much for the midnight support!!!

Chistiana: What a relief to see and hear the baby. Great news!
Wow, I'd never heard of a bicornuate uterus before, so I just googled it. So, does this mean your baby is located more on one side of your body than the other?

Tisi: Hooray for hearing the heartbeat! Sorry you peed yourself, though. Have you been doing your kegels?
Yes, as a teacher I am constantly 'on display', and my students notice EVERYTHING. I think I've hid my sickness well enough, but sometimes they catch me rubbing my temples and they tell me I get too many headaches!
So far today I feel great...knock on wood!

LittleBird: It sucks to have nausea, but it's good that you haven't been throwing up. Actually, I never threw up during the 1st tri, so this was a big surprise for me!

AFM: I'm so excited - this morning as I was laying in bed, I looked down and noticed that my belly wasn't flat AND there was a noticeable bump on one side of my belly - it must've been the baby!
Is this normal, though, for the baby to be more on one side than the other? I know that during my ultrasound and with the mw's doppler they found the baby on the left side...strange!
Anyways, it made me so happy.
In other news: my next ultrasound is February 1st - so far away!!!

 

[chistiana]

Annapurna thanks!!! Yes it actually means that my uterus is split in half and the baby is in the right horn, the left horn is empty...my son was in the rIght horn and i was totally lop sided LOL!the bleeding has now stopped but the dr said the uterus was full of it so i think it s probably still in there but not coming out because i m in bed...couldnt find the hb last night with doppler so now i m worrying again..i love my doppler but sometimes i hate it too!!!!!
I am so happy you finally got your bump And yes its totally normal even in a normal uterus to be lop sided a little bit it depends where the baby is...you ll be able to see/feel his/her bum,legs,head in a few months!!!

I guess you are dealing with some different things because of your uterus! I hope that the bed rest helps. I am sure this is a scary time, but it's really good that the doctor was able to get the heartbeat and your baby is doing well. Take it easy!

Ugh, my mouth was so dry last night, I was coughing and it made me gag!

With my DS1, he was definitely making my belly lopsided, but it was towards the end when he was big and couldn't move around as much. I didn't really notice anything like that early on.

 

[LittleBird]

Whoops -- forgot to update. Ultrasound went really well yesterday. I put pics in my journal, and they gave us a first guess of two boys!

 

[chistiana]

Little bird so glas your scan went went and omg 1 boys... You will be the queen in the house!!!!

 

[LittleBird]

Yes, you're right about queen of the house!

Last night, DS1 came upstairs to go to bed and saw me and said, "Mommy, you look beautiful!" I couldn't believe it. I called him over and he gave me a big kiss and a long hug. Where do they come up with such sweet things to say?

 

[chistiana]

Ooooooowwwwwww this is soooooo sweet...and it s even sweeter because you know it comes straight from their heart...ow bless him!! I think my lo kind of feels somethings wrong so this morning he was climbing all over me giving me sloppy kisses and patting my hair...it was so sweet...didnt last too long though by this afternoon he was like "mama uuuupppp uuuupppp uppp come" he wants to play and i cant really...booooo.... Hope it s all worth it!

 

[LittleBird]

I know what you're saying. I missed Halloween last year when I was in the beginning of MC1 and I thought bed rest might help (Internet said it might). But you really have no choice, because you want to give your baby the best chance of making it! Your LO won't remember these times when you aren't playing, and pregnancy is a temporary situation. When your baby is here, you can make up by playing when the baby's sleeping!

 

[chistiana]

Thanks little bird i keep trying to tell all this to myself...i m sure he knows i love him and if all works out i ll be running around and playing with him like crazy in the summer! Thnks you really made me feel better

[chistiana]

Thanks kaboom, still in bed, i think by the time i get up there will willa hole on my side of the bed!!!this pic is sooo cute...fully grown little person not bean anymore!!so happy for you!!

Question ladies: i keep using my doppler once around noun time and then before i sleep cause otherwise i think i just lose my mind!i ve gotten quite good in finding the hb and the whole think last no more than 1 minute.but my dh keepis bugging me i should only listen once a day ( which i will do once this damn blood stops completely sorry if tmi but now its only when i go to the loo and only on tp and brown in colour) I havent asked my dr because noone knows of home dopplers in this country hence why i bought it online and i am assuming he will either say he doesnt know or opt for the rather safe than sorry answer. What do you think? Anyone asked their dr already?

Sorry you're still feeling sick. I am too, and I am looking forward to the time when I am feeling more normal. With DS2, I think I was about 14 weeks before I stopped feeling sick.

I love the ultrasound pic!

I haven't asked. I don't know if I will tell the doctor about it because I don't want them to discourage me from using it. I think some doctors are fine with it, but others tell their patients not to use one. I looked online and a lot of people are saying under 10 minutes once a day, but I don't know where they're getting that info.
