PAL SUMMER BABIES (winter down south) 2011 ;) - Being updated again!

[Lucy1973]

Hey that's good news!

Just editing to add that I read you can't definitely expect to see heart beat until at least 8 weeks, so sounds like everything is good and as expected.....xxx

 

[Tulip]

Glad everything looks good honey xx

Yay Tamsin

 

[Chilli]

Hello all. I'm due on 2.6.10 and like some of you have been lurking nervously in the background. But today has been a tough one and it's made me realise that I can't get through it on my own and like you say there's no point worrying and I should just get on and enjoy it.

The earlier knicker checking comment made me laugh - I'm not the only one?????!!!

 

[Round2]

That's great Tamsin....and yes I agree - 6 weeks is early. My doc also said anything before 8 weeks is early.

Welcome Chilli - sorry you're having a rough day - feel free to vent! Congrats on your pregnancy, I'm just just one day before you. My stress level is through the roof and I'm not even six weeks yet!!

 

[Chilli]

Thanks Round. Yes I saw you were just ahead of me. My stress levels are creeping up each day. Need to find a yoga class!

 

[Lucy1973]

Hi Chilli, nice to see you here. It's nice to be with a group of girls in the same situation.

 

[hoping:)]

Welcome Chilli!

I attempt not to check everytime I go to the bathroom but it doesn't always work! I've been trying my hardest to stay calm through this pregancy and I have succeeded except for last night when I almost had a panic attack It was due to school though and not baby Today I am feeling better except for dry heaving this morning and heart burn... but I love it!

 

[Tulip]

Err.... I'm still knicker-checking! Don't even realise I'm doing it half the time

 

[Chilli]

Eek - what a bunch we are!

i also work in a school hoping - what do you do? i teach

 

[hoping:)]

lol Tulip

Chilli- I am actually in school. I'm finishing up my nutrition degree... I will be done in January

So just thought I would share this... lunch time today was the 1st time ever that I puked I have been nauseous all day but the lady in the next stall was puking so it made me puke I feel like crap but it is worth it

 

[Lucy1973]

I almost wish I would puke, it might ease the nausea a bit, I haven't puked but am gagging alot today, and I never do that! I have constant nausea and just can't eat.....worth it if the bean is healthy though.

PS I am a teacher but haven't been in this week as feel so rough...I teach special school, what do you do chilli?

 

[hoping:)]

I feel you Lucy... I would rather puke than be gagging all day because at least you get some relief!

That is awesome Lucy. I've been thinking about becoming a health teacher but I'm still up in the air with what I want to do after I graduate. Right now I work for a credit union and I volunteer at a hospital and I am hoping that I will get employed there so I can put my degree to use.

 

[Lucy1973]

Well that's exciting, there are a lot of different things you could do with your degree. Make sure you take your time and think carefully about what you want to do.

 

[Lucy1973]

Hi girls, I just had my scan. I was pretty scared, but they saw a blob right away with a good heart beat, it was moving around a lot too which was so cool to see. They also put me forward 3/4 days, so FF got my Ov wrong.....so relieved, shame they don't give you pics on NHS at 8 weeks scan.....PHEW...

Hope everyone is doing ok today.

 

[Round2]

That's great new Lucy, congratulations, you must feel so relieved!!

 

[hoping:)]

Nice Lucy Its awesome you get to "skip" a few days!

 

[Lucy1973]

Yes, it's very cool!

The relief was the most I have ever felt in my life...just 12 week scan to get through now.....what a shame for scans to be such a stressful experience....oh well....we will appreciate our babies so much more!

Thanks girls, roll on your scans...who is next?

PS Happy 5 weeks Hoping!

 

[Round2]

I know, I remember when I was pregnant with my DD - I was sooo excited for scans. I was so innocent, never crossed my mind that they could be bad news.

I have a scan a week from today and my stomach is in knots already!! I'll be 7 weeks, so hopefully we'll see a hearbeat.
