PAL - February 2013 rainbow babies

[Lulu]

You are nOt alone lulu, did u mc at a latish stage ( 10 weeks) like me? I'm concerned about seeing hb st early scan but nOthing later on..

I had a mmc, went along for my 12 week scan to find out that baby was only measuring 8 wk 5 and no heartbeat. So even if I do manage to get an early scan at say 6 wks, it won't really stop me worrying before my 12 wk scan.

I'm just going to have to be patient (not one of my strong points!) and take things a day at a time. Although I have to say that for today I'm feeling positive that things are going well. Last time I had no symptoms to indicate a miscarriage just a gut feeling that something wasn't quite right. So I'm trusting my mummy's intuition and today is a good day

Good for you, Lulu. Every day you feel good is a good day!

Hi ladies

Storm I am sorry hun.

Lilly and diamond well done on the positive.scans.

As for the gender debate I know my last loss was a chromosomely normal boy I have a daughter but without knowing what gender my other losses were I don't know. I did not get round to the testing after three losses as i dell pregnant again so hopefully I will never know. My fist and second loss I saw hearbeats and with the first did so up to 8 weeks so my scan at 9+3 hopefully will give. some reasurrances.

I have had nausia but have not vomitted yet. Seems to be worse for a few days then eases up.

I have yet to vomit either, even though I have been close on several occasions. I have that same queasiness I had with all my other children, and it varies day to day. with my DS (5) I did not vomit much either. I can't really say how this pregnancy ranks compared to the one for my 5 yr old, or my mc. All I know is I am sick of food, feel bloated and thick like I'm at least 4 months along (not like I would be showing, it's the bloat), and feel that heaviness under my ribs like I ate a huge turkey dinner and over stuffed myself. I have barely eaten today compared to most days and I'm still uncomfortable. I know from my 5 successful pregnancies that this feeling WILL eventually diminish, and I just have to put up with it til it passes.
The rain finally seems to be over and I have work tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't fit in my painter's pants and am afraid to try them on. My dad will likely start to notice my new puffy appearance. So...he may find out sooner as opposed to later :/.

whos midnight munching

i am missed my tea as i felt so sick so just woke up needing food so grabbed a sandwich and some chrisps just for a few bickies let the carbs set in and im off to bed

 

[LilyLee]

Sorry to hear of some of the morning sickness struggles! I had really bad ms with my mc but pretty mild this time around. I seem to get very short waves of nausea but not constant struggle.

I have my first midwife appointment this time tomorrow very excited to be able to talk solely about my pregnancy without worrying about boring people lol

Hi I could have written ur post, mine was same except baby passed at 9 +6. I want the early scan but I can't say it will reassure me despite knowing there is only a chance of less than 2% after hb is seen at 8 weeks. At 10 weeks I will want a private scan as obviously baby didn't make it that far last time.

Evening ladies! I just have to rant a little! I'm so upset today, I've been so nauseas all week, I've only been sick a couple of times but this nausea is really starting to get to me, I can't eat until 10pm and then I'm left feeling bloated and really uncomfortable! Please don't get me wrong I am so greatful that I'm pregnant but i feel terrible I can't work, I can't sit in the car, I can't eat, can't drink I'm pale, I've a huge break out of spots and my OH just doesn't seem to be supportive at all I just want to cry today :sad: I'm sorry for ranting but injust have to get it out!

 

[Mrskg]

Aw diamond I know that feeling it's awful x have you tried eating small bits I know you don't feel like it but it really does help x I also find lucozade really helps it keep blood sugar up xxx

I've been eating small bits and bobs but to be honest finding anything I really like at the moment is hard, I've been having allot of broccoli for dinner, and mash potatoe, I like spinch and roast chicken, and baby belle cheese, OH had a packet of monster much it was horrendous :sad: my work are so not impressed that I've been off, I'm certain they will find a reason to fire me, I keep worrying about that too! I have some ribena now to add to the water that's what I went to town for, stupid OH argued with me because I wanted juice and he wouldn't buy it from the local shop as its a few pence more than supermarket so I walked to the supermarket myself he apologised after he'd gone off to work and thought about his actions I proper feel like I want to cry

So I had a scare this morning... I woke up with extreme pain in my lower abdomin I was scared that we were losing our lil peanut so I called mt fs. He had me come in for another scan and thankfully the pain is from the 60mm cyst on my right ovary. If you look at the right side of the scan you can see the cysts size. peanut is doing great! Monday the heart rate was 108 and today it is 119 and our peanut has gotten noticably bigger. I am amazed and so happy. I cant believe the differnce 3 days makes. I guess this horrible cyst scored me an extra us.

 

[Mrskg]

Wow look how much bigger! That's super! So glad everything is ok! Xxx

 

[rosebud111]

toast sounds so good right now! i am always starving an hour or two after i eat! i am trying to not overdo it and stick w/small snacks whenever i get hungry but it's going to be tough!

i hear you ladies about DH/OH being insensitive and i think the hormones make it so much worse. last weekend i cried my eyes out because he did not bring home lunch (lol). i was too tired to make anything and he had just gotten home from work. he said he was too tired and had already eaten so i had to go out and get myself something and i cried the whole time because i thought he was so mean. i always think of him and ask him if he has eaten or would like me to bring him something. he stuffed his face at work and ignored my call to ask him to bring me something home. what an inconsiderate jerk!

i was late to work as well this morning. i understand how you working ladies feel too. i don't want to get in trouble and i am sure they will understand as soon as i let my manager know but until then they will just think i am being lazy!

blue eyes - great news on your scan! i am glad everything is ok!

 

[Diamonddust]

Rosebud I hear you! That was me this
Morning over Bloody juice, I wish I could keep eating I'm really hungry but the nausea gets me! Maybe it will ease off a little by 12 weeks!

So just on a slight change of subject what baby books have you all invested in? Any of you with iPhone's or androids with any fancy apps? I got a couple of books from the charity shops and bought myself a copy of your pregnancy bible, I also have pregnancy questions & answers, from lad to dad (very funny read) the baby book and I get a baby mag called gurgle! I've got the what to expect and ipregnancy app's

 

[Mrskg]

I'm not a breakfast person either but having to force myself because I know I feel better after eating x just came over all an had a banana not normally that keen but it's helped

Diamond when you book in you will get a good book in your bounty pack xx

 

[Mrskg]

Well bananas stopped me feeling sick but it's gave me heartburn
