so happy for you Barbie That is great news.

I was feeling great, but one of the ladies in my main discussion thread has just started miscarrying and it brought everything back. I feel so sad for her and now I starting to question if everything is ok with our little one. I so need to get to the scan date and everything be fine.

barbie, YAY!!!!

 

[barbie72]

Thanks Everyone!
HippylittleJ: I know what you mean! I literally could not wait any longer to find out. It is so hard hearing other people's losses and feeling sad for them but frightened for yourself at the same time. Not too long left for you now! Hang in there. I couldn't have panicked more the last 3 months as I am sure you have been feeling too.
Can't wait to hear good news from everyone else as all our scans start coming up the next few weeks.

 

[hippylittlej]

It is like 12 weeks is the magic number. I just didn't sleep last night thinking about miscarriage, which is just annoying as I had done fairly well without worrying too much up until now. Strange how much someone's loss can effect you.

I am sure things will be fine, I still have symptoms, I have no sign of bleeding and I feel great in myself but I have a feeling this week will be the longest of the pregnancy so far.

Fantastic news barbie i'm so pleased for you

 

[jcg0506]

Glad to hear the good news, Barbie. I agree that every little milestone is important, hearing the heartbeat, NT scan, passing the 13 week mark. Now, I wish my body would realize I'm in the second trimester and stop with the ms.

 

[hippylittlej]

I was hoping that on the 13 week mark all symptoms would go and I would suddenly feel better...yeah like that is going to happen.

Scan in less than a week now..eek.

Hope you feel better soon jcg.

Hi Ladies,

[barbie72]

I'm still sick. Not certain when this is going to clear up. How exhausting! Anybody getting a bump yet? I already look 4-5 months pregnant...I haven't decided if that is a good thing lol. I'm worried what I will look like at the end of this thing!

What a wonderful clear scan pic

Welcome ladygecko

And hello to everyone else, hope some of you are starting to get some relief from the tiredness/nausea/sickness now? I have escaped any sickness so far (touch wood!) but still feel like i have been hit by a truck, i'm so shattered all the time. But....i'm 12 weeks today and our next scan is only a week away so i'm a happy lady today!

 

[hippylittlej]

My scan is on Monday. I am still feeling pretty meh, I am not feeling sick eveyday now but so exhausted it is untrue.

Great picture Aquarius, really clear.

Hey CKH, thanks for the positive thoughts. I had bleeding back at 6 weeks or so. It was bright red but went away very quickly. I woke up with it when I went to the bathroom. Just took the day easy and was fine after that. I got to have an early scan and they confirmed that everything was going fine so far. Then Monday it was brownish and very light spotting. The nurse asked if we had done the "sexy time" and I said "ummm god no!"...poor hubby. The dr. decided that since it resolved itself everything was probably ok. But I had the brownish bleeding with my first pregnancy that we lost and it just hit too close to home. I was told it was completely normal but I just can't settle down. I have heard that usually the brownish is older blood from the cervix since it can get too full of blood. Then when you have sex it will generally come out. So I think you are fine but mine came out of no where both times! So frustrating. Sorry you can't get to the dr. I would pull all my hair out, lol. As for my belly I am not certain what I am looking for honestly! I mean it is not hard or anything but I definitely have grown a lot larger than just gaining fat in my belly. My tummy just looks different. Any thoughts on what it is suppose to feel/look like this early?

My spotting has stopped completely now. Dr appt FINALLY on Monday. (LOL we havnt been having much sexy time either. Now we are that the spotting went away..but only a little.) Im glad your pregnancy looks normal! good deal...the belly, well im really small to begin with so I notice it big time, my hips are wider my ribs are wider, my back is KILLING me, and after I eat my tummy really sticks out. if Im laying down you cant even tell really. but last night I felt my uterus really well, above my pubic bone and below my belly button (I was laying down) it felt like a ball, round and it was hard. But it hasnt felt hard all day. I can only really feel it sometimes. My clothes don't fit anymore. I cant button any pants. Alot of them I cant even get over my thighs! I bought some sun dresses (much more comfy.) I feel as though all my clothes are shrinking, including my underwear! (been wearing the hubbys somedays lol and even his are getting tight on me!) I cant wait to hear a heartbeat/see our little one!

Doctor's appointment went great!!! We got to hear the baby's heart beat (which I did not get to hear last pregnancy). Doctor said (of course no guarantees) but our chances of another MC are down to 3%. Thankfully I am blissfully naive to the rest of pregnancy and the mishaps that can happen. So I am feeling quite cheerful. I think celebrating milestones is the only way you make it through these things anyhow. Honestly, I am quite shocked. I think it just hit me that, God willing, we are having a baby . Thanks everyone for helping me through all my negativity! i think I can relax just a little now.

Hey! great news! (Im slowly catching up haha) So happy for you!! Dont worry, it will just stress you and baby out! Have faith that everything is wonderful!
