September/October bump buddies...anyone wlecome!

[rmsh1]

I have seen a GP to confirm and have booked in for a dating scan on Feb 13th when I should be 7w6d. I need to find a midwife, that is next on my to-do list
I had rotten ms with my first so I'm dreading that coming on in force

 

[babifever]

Just set my appt, earliest available is next Monday 1/26. I will be 6w2d according to last cycle. They usually see patients at 8 weeks + but because I'm high risk they will see me now....


when is everyone else's first?

Had to change appointment time for tomorrow instead. My diabetes medication was giving nausea. I stopped taking it on Sunday and I feel better, but my blood sugar is up high. Dont wonna take chances. They will probably put me on insulin. Yall I'm super nervous about this ultrasound....

 

[jordypotpie]

I am calling to schedule mine tomorrow. Will update then.

My SO doesn't even want me to schedule an appointment until after I miss a second period..like my period just decided it didn't want to show and the tests were wrong. He's dealt with 3 mc's so I can understand him not wanting to get his hopes too high..but he's only tearing mine down. I'm starting to get freaked out and run to make sure I don't start bleeding..I wish he could just be happy and optimistic. The most I have heard is that he is indeed excited..has an odd way of showing it though if you ask me. How is everyone else's other half taking it?

hey sorry your oh is having that stigma. Maybe you can explain to him that waiting until the next month isn't going to dismiss a mc. But either way most doctors want to see you at 8-12 weeks so your waiting isn't going to hurt. Just try to be happy at this point. Everything will work out.

afm: my dh is super happy, he's always checking on me but now more

 

[rmsh1]

My OH is taking it well, it is me reminding him how it is very early days and even my GP said yesterday how early it is (I thought it was standard to test first day of your missed AF but anyway). We weren't planning this bub so timing is not great. I work on fixed term contracts, and my contact expires in July. We were going to start TTC in July if/when I had a new contract so now looks like I will be unemployed come July

Still happy to be pregnant as it took 14 months with our first so we could never begrudge that this little one has decided to make an entrance unplanned

 

[jordypotpie]

Babifever- it's okay I am ecstatic just adds a little stress that I don't need. I'm really glad your OH is super happy!

rmsh1- sorry about not having best timing. But I'm sure you guys are super excited regardless! I wish you guys the best of luck!

I just called and scheduled mine for Feb 3rd. My obgyn's office likes to schedule for 6 weeks instead of 8. Gah calling them made it that much more offical..super excited!

 

[babifever]

Well, and I'm feeling so nervous and in doubtful, anxious, uuugggh right now..... They said they the gestational sac was too small to measure or really see anything in-depth on the ultrasound, they think its probably to early. They are ordering a blood hgc test, a1c (for the diabetes) and referring me to a high risk doctor who's going manage my diabetes. My urine did come back positive. The doctor said at this point they are trying to out weigh 3 things the doctor said: normal developing pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, or early miscarriage. Going to see me next week for a second ultrasound. He then came back and said " everything is looking good, its just super early. And we have alot of work to do".

no ultrasound pic, I guess because I wouldn't have seen anything? Was I suppose to ask? They also kept my due date as 9/19/15 until a ultrasound picture can be confirmed. I will say as the ultrasound tech was looking I asked "do you see anything". She said " yes it looks like I see a sac but its too small to measure" I didn't ask anymore questions, something about those techs, they don't really like talking!

also she typed down: two small forbids, two small cysts on left ovary. I only knew about the forbids from November. I didn't even inquire with doc. I'll ask about it next week.

I'm getting little anxiety right now. There going to call me once the results are in.

Hi ladies,
Congrats to all. Yes, very exciting but this the not so fun stage right before any scans and before you can see the bump. I am 7 weeks and just had my pre booking appointment, not having booking appointment with blood tests etc until 3rd Feb on week 9, followed by 2 week scan next. Looking forward to announcing it after the scan.
Am nauseous most days in the morning and comes and goes during the day. Lack of energy aswell most days. I have been teaching bikram yoga also but am staying away from the hot room for the first trimester. Dont want to take any risks. Based in Hove, East sussex.
Where are you guys based? It's a nerve racking time huh! I just want to have first scan to give me a little more piece of mind..

:wave: hi girls, I'm expecting 26th September so still early days for me. This is my third child and a bit of a surprise but a happy surprise!

Jordypotpie my OH was in Denial after my first miscarriage, he didn't want to talk about the pregnancy or get excited so I think until the first scans he won't believe it. Seems so long to wait!!

Mel6403 - I'm from Norfolk uk, so not a million miles away from you!

 

[Bing28]

Jordypotpie - how are the hormonal surges? I love your idea about the ticker. We decided we aren't going find out the gender. My OH is excited but doesn't want to tell anyone until after the 12 week scan. I'd like to tell our parents and siblings before then, so we have some compromising to do!

Babifever - sorry your ultrasound didn't go as you planned. I'm sure it's just too early though and everything is fine

Rmsh - when did your MS start with your first? I kinda want to get it as it will make me feel like everything is okay! so far I've just had sore BBs, bloatedness, and waking in the night to pee.

Mel - welcome :wave: I have my booking appointment on 2nd Feb and also have an early scan booked for then too. As our fertility specialist offered us one so we jumped at the offer! Guessing it's maybe just procedure in the fertility department where I live if things took a while to happen. I'm in Basingstoke, Hampshire UK so not far from you either. Do you have another job other than the bikram yoga? Me & my hubby used to do bikram yoga myself but we gave it up about 6 months ago after we were told the heat isn't good for his spermies or my eggs!

Kaths - welcome :wave: Your first son was born on my wedding day! And 10lb 11oz for your second - wow! Let's hope they are wrong when they say each baby gets bigger!

 

[jordypotpie]

Hormonal surges are awful. Lame commercials tear me up and then ten seconds later I laugh hysterically at something else..or I snap in response to a question without even meaning to..my SO knows I'm struggling to find a job and cracked a joke about me not being hireable..I balled..he felt pretty bad..on a normal day I would've laughed and joked back. I went behind his back and told my mom and brothers and of course you guys..and the only other people I've toldares 3 of my dear friends..not something I would keep from them in a million years..and one of them was especially because she is a mother to 3.. (4 if you include her SO's son). The rest of my family will wait until after 12 weeks to know. (Not informing my dad until then because he wanted us to be wed before children and if I'm going to tell him I want there to be solidity to it). I am planning on revealing it to my whole family and friends on Easter. I've been trying to think of clever ways to reveal the news but will probably just wind up announcing it. My birthday is this coming Tuesday and then the following Tuesday is my 1st prenatal appointment..I really couldn't have asked for a better birthday gift than this! I am based all the way in Washington state

Hello all,

pretty much I'm just chilling. My high risk appointment is tomorrow and I'm hoping they do an ultrasound, if not next one is next Tuesday. I have been feeling fine, nausea stopping since I stopped taking the metformin ( but blood sugars are still high), breast get a very very mild pain every now and again, and I'm losing my appetite (perfect now that I'm pregnant, lol). Things will be real and feel 100% once I see my bean on the screen. At this point I want to dismiss the possibility of a ectopic pregnancy. More likely probably couldn't see anything because I'm 4 weeks/6 days, not 5 weeks/4 days according to lmp. I believe my due date will change from 9/19 to 9/24. I got the lesser estimate when my cd average was added.

hows everyone else feeling?

I'm feeling okay today. Just very very tired as I've been up since 4.30am due to waking in the middle of the night needing to pee and not being able to get back to sleep again. I'm also feeling incredibly hungry today for the first time since I got my BFP and really really want pizza for my tea. I know they say to eat healthily but surely one unhealthy meal every now and again won't do any harm right?!?

 

[rmsh1]

My MS began at 6 weeks with my first and lasted.til around 17 weeks. I did not put any weight on until I was about 26 weeks along. I just could not stomach food. It was horrible. So I'm eating up now in preparation for my MS diet

 

[rmsh1]

Sorry to hear your news Sarah Lou

 

[kaths101]
