Good morning everyone, I have my first appt with maternal fetus specialist today, I'm sure their going to put me on insulin. Praying they do another ultrasound, my doc mentioned their equipment is better. My head has been hurting on and off, I'm assuming its because of the diabetes and pregnancy
.......

Good luck at your appointment babifever.

I have some mild AF type cramps today and it's making me nervous. I have just ordered some stretch marks body lotion too. My thought it that prevention is better than a cure!

How is everyone else doing?

I had cramps last week about the same point along as you scared me too!!
Nausea/vomiting arrived today just eaten for first time today and hoping it stays down. I had HG with first pregnancy so hoping I don't have it this time!

 

[littleone1993]

Hey I'm due on the 19th with baby #1!

 

[Bing28]

Lola - what is HG short for? I hope the MS doesn't hang around too long for you. I've not had any yet.

Little one - welcome :wave:

I 'am pissed, hurt and shocked right now! So I went to the high risk doctor. I was referred there for medication management because I'm type 2 diabetic and my sugars have been high. I haven't been able to take my medication because its giving nausea. First they gave me a ultrasound. The Tec said all she seen was the gestational sac. But it was normal with how far along I am - around 5 weeks, she says based on my LMP. She said no sign of pregnancy in tubes and the sac is in the right spot. Okay, so the doctor then comes in and he's like " there's nothing I can do for you at this point because I'm not even sure if your pregnant, all we see is a sac, and if you are pregnant I'm not sure it will be successful". I'm like " Well if I'm around 5 weeks is there anything else you should see on the ultrasound, should I be worried". He says "sometimes yes, sometimes not, its really early and I can't really say if you should be worried, I can't say everything is fine at this point". So I'm like "okay so in the mean time what am I suppose to do about my high blood sugars, I've changes my diet, I'm walking twice daily, only drinking water, I can't take the meds anymore its making me sick". He's repeatedly says " I dont know what to tell you, I'm not medicating you when I don't even know if your pregnant, you need to speak with your primary and have them get your sugars under control, they should have already been under control before you even got pregnant, I'll see you in two weeks". He kept saying " I dont even know of your pregnant", straight faced, no compassion, kept cutting me off too. I walked out without even scheduling a follow up. I cried and then when I got home I have beige-like spotting in my under ware. I haven't had any spotting before this. When I whipped, nothing though. I'm so upset right now and confused. I drive to my obgyn and told them what happened and that I never want to see him again. My doc is in surgery today so there going to follow-up tomorrow. The nurse said this shouldn't have happened the way it did. She said pregnancy IS determined by actually seeing the fetus, etc, but in regardless he shouldn't have insinuated I wasn't pregnant, or if it wouldn't be successful. She also said my sugars need to be controlled. He even said so too, but he leaves me with nothing! I can't believe this. I set an appointment with a primary I seen back in June who said to immediately stop taking the diabetes medication (metformin) and call him if I ever got pregnant. Apparently taking metformin while pregnant is used by some doctors and not by others.....Also Im wondering now that he may redirect me back to my obgyn. next ultrasound is next Tuesday. Hcg"615" as of this pass Tuesday. Last period 12/13/14. I hate that I'm going through all this at the beginning and starting to get really afraid

Little one - welcome :wave:

Hyperemesis Gravidarium (or a severe form of morning sickness). I had it all the way through my first pregnancy it improved in third trimester bt still lingered lol!
Last time my nausea started at 4weeks and as I'm nearly 7 I thought I'd escaped it this time hehe!
Fingers crossed MS stays away for you 😄 how far along are you?

 

[littleone1993]

Funny you talking about nausea. Ive had it right from about 4+3. With both of my previous pregnancies i was in hospital with dehydration very early on.
It was my earliest symptom every time.

I dont seem to get tired or show any of the typical signs i just get very sick very quickly!

Oh yes I've heard of HG. It doesn't sound very nice at all! Fingers crossed you don't get it this time.

I'm 6 weeks today. I've felt a little nauseous a couple of times but it's only been mild and lasted about 5-10 minutes. I've noticed it's usually if I'm really hungry. So fingers crossed it doesn't get any worse. Saying that, in a weird way I wouldn't mind MS a little bit as it would kind of make me feel everything is okay.

 

[lola85]

Yes last time I was admitted almost every 7-10days with dehydration up till 20 weeks then it settled abit and I could keep down my meds down
I've a scan next week at 7+5 so looking forward to that and bit nervous!
I don't know if my DD senses anything she's 13months and is being ridiculously clingy to me won't take food/milk from anyone but me DH is getting abit upset as she won't settle with him anymore and screams the minute I leave the room

 

[NoRi2014]

Hi ladies, mind if I join in? I recognize a few of you from previous threads , so thought it would be nice to join you through this journey. my due date is Sept 1.

I hope everyone is doing well

 

[jordypotpie]

I'm doing well..hope everyone else is as well. Fridays are always busy days for us so I wasn't on at all yesterday. Woke up today with a cold..chalking it up to another symptom. The exhaustion is something I'm still trying to adjust to. Nausea is very minimal most of the time..so far everything has been pretty easy. Hoping since I have such short cycles that they'll do an ultrasound at my appointment on the 3rd to pinpoint exactly how far along I am.

 

[babifever]

Hello everyone, nothing much here just anxious about my 2nd hcg level results from Friday (I'll find out Monday). Not really "feeling pregnant", no nausea. Light headache sporadically throughout the day. Some lower abdomen feeling(s) sporadically, sometimes it feels like my cycle is coming. Not painful at all, just this feeling I get . I also can't wait till I start showing. Already started making baby room plans, goodbye exercise room.

Hows everyone?

Sorry i havent posted for a bit, just been busy as ive been sick. Welcome nori So I had my first appt and got blood and urine tested. So now i just wait until feb 23rd for my actual prenatal appt. Had a bit of a scare today...had bright red blood this afternoon for a few hours, but luckily it seems to have stopped. Had no cramping so good sign there. I know its normal for some spotting in the first trimester, but it was nerve wrecking being this is the first time being prego and wanting a baby badly. Thinking it may have been due to all the coughing ive been doing. Been having a bad chest cold along with sinus issues. Happy though as im finally getting back to myself and starting to be on the mend. I want to be excited for this pregnancy, not be in a mood because im sick But on the exciting side, wed is my bd and we are also going to visit my mom in law and her hubby on the weekend coming up and will be sharing our news. My side of the family already knows. But only our family and very close friends etc will know this early, any one else will know later on.

 

[Bing28]

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend?!

Lola - good luck at your scan this week! Let us know how it goes? Is DD still being clingy? Maybe she does sense something!

Hi Nori :wave: how are you? Nice to see you over here!

Jordypotpie - my nausea has been minimal too. My sister said there is a old wives take that is you don't have MS then your having a boy! No idea how try that is!

Babifever - let us know about your HSG results. I hope it's good news.

Orion - sorry you had a bleed. That must have been scary. I hope you had nothing else over the weekend. I've heard bright red blood is not a good sign so I'd go to your doctor if I were you and mention it to them just to be on the safe side!

Afm - I'm just patiently waiting for next Monday when I have my booking appointment and early scan. At the moment me and hubby can't agree on when to tell immediate family. I want to tell them after our first scan if everything is okay, but he wants to wait. At the moment I feel I need my sisters to talk to and get advise from as they have had 5 kids between them and with this being my first baby it's scary and I have soooo many questions so I really feel like I need their support. The only problem is, we live a couple of hours drive from all our family. We are going back to see them on valentines weekend (which is when I want to tell parents/siblings only) as my hubby's dad is having an operation. But hubby doesn't want to tell his parents the day before his dads operation as he doesn't think the timing is good, but I think it would help take his dads mind off the operation and give him a reason to get better quickly afterwards, as his dad is bound to be nervous and He is the type of person that won't push himself at all to get better. Otherwise the next time we are visiting family is not until Mother's Day on 15th March when I'll be 13 weeks! What do you ladies think would be the best time to tell parents/siblings? Am I being unreasonable wanting to tell them the day before his dads operation?

 

[orionfox]

I had a nice relaxing weekend Nope no more bleed so it was just a random bleed. Being that there hasnt been any more and symptoms are still very noticeable, im just going to make a note of it for the doc on my next appt. It definitely had me worried, but i feel a lot better now that it wasnt that bad. I had been having a lot of coughing and seems that may have caused it. No clots were passed or anything, so everything seems all good now. Sometimes these babies like to scare us. I just want this first trimester over and done with lol.

 

[babifever]

Hey all, just got my 2nd hcg back. I was "615" - 72 hours later "2043". So I tripled you can say. I'm very pleased. Tomorrow morning will have another ultrasound and hcg test. Super excited! Anyone else got back hcg tests?

what's pissing me off is still no help with my diabetes! Primary won't treat me and can't find a endocrine. Obgyn won't treat me until fetal pole it detected. This is ridiculous.

 

[Bing28]

Orion - I'm glad there was no more bleeding. I am totally with you that I want the first trimester over with!

Babi - that's great news about the HcG results! They don't check HcG levels here in the UK so I've not had mine checked. FX'd someone can help you with your diabetes soon.

Afm - The nausea is getting a little bit worse day by day. My stomach just feels like its hungover and I don't know what to eat to settle it! It's worse on my train journey to/from work. Its still bearable at the moment so I'm just praying it doesn't get worse. Xx

 

[NoRi2014]

Hi ladies! Thank you for the welcome

Bing-I am not a good one to ask on this subject, since my hubby and I don't agree on when to tell my parents (they will be the first to know). I really wanted to tell them this weekend, it was my mom's bday, but he thinks we should wait until after our 11-12 week apt. Which I kind of agree, just because the last time we told my parents around 7-8 weeks and of course it ended in a MMC at 13 weeks. Not that they wouldn't understand, but it's just so hard to tell them and then go back and explain if something bad happens. I am slightly paranoid this time around, so, for us, we have decided to wait until 12 weeks, which is Valentine's wkend.

Orion-I would def. let my dr know about the bleeding. They may want to do an ultrasound to make sure things are okay.

AFM-the nausea has been bad today-like a hangover all day long. This only seems to happen once a week or so and the other days it doesn't last as long. It seems to go away is I eat, but I am running out of healthy snack ideas haha! Hopefully all is well in there I am having nosebleeds almost every time I blow my nose these days-I know it's normal, just a little weird to see it every time I use a tissue lol
