~* September Sparkles 2018 *~

Bee I’m so sorry you didn’t get better news. I pray that you will see a heartbeat next time and it was just a bit early. Thinking of you because this bit of pregnancy is so tough.

 

[xCookieDoughx]

Bee - my first scan I should have been 6+2 from my LMP but there was just a gestational sac with a yolk sac inside and nothing else. No baby. I went back 2 weeks later (last Thursday) and there was a baby and heartbeat measuring 7+5. I was just too early at the previous scan as I ovulated later in my last cycle x

AFM - I cant deal with this nausea much longer. The nausea seems to be getting more and more intense and the vomiting has picked up I can barely eat and that makes it worse as my stomach is empty! I am sipping water and keeping that down so I know i don’t need admitting or anything, but I think I might need some sort of medication.
It’s something that after my son was born sleeping I swore I would never take again, as we don’t know for definite what caused his heart to stop, but I can’t function as a human being and a mum at the moment

 

[amytrisha]

I was sick this morning, Finley got very upset he started crying saying he didn’t want mummy to be sick and poorly.. Bri had to reassure him I wasn’t poorly and I was ok, bless how sensitive his little heart is

Still waiting on my referral. How long do these things take?!

Have you tried sickness bands Cookie? If you go to the pharmacy there’s many methods they could suggest before turning to medication if your so against it x

Bee, fx that everything will be fine at the next scan and that it is just that you were off on your dates.

Good luck with your scan today, Amber!

Bee, praying you just ovulated later and it’s just too early!

Cookie I’ve been pretty sick myself. What works one day is terrible the next! Have you tried fruit flavored ice pops? I read some where that those are good if you can keep liquids down. They were a lifesaver this morning but like I said probably won’t work for me tomorrow! I am trying anything I can right now to make it through the week without getting sick at work

Bee- fx that it was just too early. My first scan like Cookie's was way early and we didn't see anything but the sac and the small traces of the fetal pole. 2 weeks later we had a strong HB and measuring right where we should be. The crazy thing is that everything with the baby is changing literally minute by minute and day by day at this stage- you could go back today and see something different than yesterday. Hang in there girl!

AFM- we still dtd pretty often, like 2-3 times per week. I haven't had any pain or bleeding, so I figure why not?

Also my testing from panorama came back- we are low risk across the board for any chromosomal abnormalities... which means less than a 1/10,000 chance. I am very happy that we decided to have the full genetic testing done. It is crazy though that they can test all of that through my blood! Like I said we did opt out of the gender test. I think secretly DH was hoping they would put the results in our packet by accident. LOL

My nausea has all gone away (finally). I am at 10w2d. I will be so happy for everyone when we are in the 2nd Tri. This 1st Tri stress is the worst!

I think the only complaint I have right now is that I just feel fat- I haven't gained any weight, but my middle is definitely a little thicker and it is just awkward because I'm not ready for maternity clothes, but my normal clothes just aren't fitting right anymore. AND wearing leggings just shows off the little bump that I have (this is number 3 so I think I may start showing way earlier than before). Anybody else feel this way??

 

[mrscletus]

HA- my baby is the size of my favorite candy!!!

 

[AmberR]

Bee- how stressful! Hope it is too early and you see Baby and heartbeat at your next scan!

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

mrscletus, I sadly gave up on most of my pants already! I have a few pairs that don't dig into my tummy so I've still been wearing those. But I did totally give in and start wearing maternity stuff already... I already tended to wear princess line dresses for work so I can still get away with those. I'd rather be comfortable.

I'm under no illusion that this is baby already but this is my fourth pregnancy- I've got ton of gas, I'm feeling nauseous and fat enough without extra pant pressure and having to look at fat overhang! My tummy is hard, I've started getting heartburn and have had some trouble catching my breath a few times doing routine stuff, so I am pretty confident that my organs have started shifting in preparation already. That's my story and I'm sticking to it

I’m so sorry that you’re going through this stress Bee Bee. It’s torture not knowing. I hope your next scan brings you good news and reassurance!

We haven’t DTD since right around conception. I’m too scared. At my appt today, my doctor said in front of my husband that sex is fine, so I’m sure I’ll be getting some nudges from him. I just don’t think I can until second tri, I’m scared to risk anything even though they say it’s no risk. My poor husband.

I was having terrible nausea up until a couple days ago. I had very little nausea with my son, so it was a bit reassuring to have that strong symptom. When it stopped, my pessimism really amped up. I’d like for it to come back to settle my nerves. Though I am still having terrible heartburn. And I woke up this morning feeling unwell. A quick reminder that I still need to get a flu shot ASAP!

My first scan was today and I felt so anxious I was having to do breathing exercises on the long drive there just to calm myself. It was so unsettling. Then we saw that there was a baby in there and the heartbeat was good and it was such a weight off of my shoulders. I’m measuring 6w5d, which is 4-5 days behind wheee I should be based on my trigger shot and iui, but only one day behind based on my lmp. I’ll be cautious but hopeful until my next scan in two weeks, but given that my doctor was positive I was going to miscarry three weeks ago, seeing a heartbeat today feels like a huge win.

 

[CertifiedOreo]

Can I join y’all? My lmp was December 25 and according to that I will be due around October 1st... but I think more the end of September. I haven’t had any appointments yet so I’m waiting to see what the dr will say but could you put me down for September 30th? Thank you!

 

[CertifiedOreo]

And this will be our 3rd!

 

[AmberR]

Welcome certifiedoreo!

My first ultrasound today we saw our baby measuring 9w2d with a heartbeat of 167! So happy!

 

[Boognishrises]

My biggest symptom has been nausea and no sickness, and I'm out of breath alotttttt....

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

Welcome Oreo, front page is updated.

Congrats Amber, that's wonderful!

 

[xCookieDoughx]

Okay, so after spending the last few weeks miserable with nausea, the past few days being the worst! I’ve woken up this morning feeling okay... which is awesome but also worrying... I’ve read that sudden loss of symptoms can mean MMC.
I know it’s probably nothing and I’ll be back to puking again tomorrow, but it doesn’t help my anxiety any at the moment.
I started taking vitamin B6 yesterday as I took it before (I have a hormonal imbalance) and I’ve heard it’s supposed to help with nausea but surely that alone wouldn’t have stopped my sickness. Don’t get me wrong I still don’t feel fantastic, but I also don’t feel on the verge of throwing up constantly like I did before.

This all being said I will probably regret writing it when the sickness comes back again! But stupid anxiety and all that

I do remember about 9 weeks or so in my last 2 pregnancies having a day or two where I panicked over feeling better so I know it’s probably the same sort of thing. But sickness is literally the only symptom I get which I can sort of rely on. Yes it makes me incredibly miserable but it’s my one symptom! So when it wavers I panic. I get it until at least 12 weeks.
I know I’m crazy for wanting it to come back given how miserable it makes me! But I’m not getting another scan for 5ish weeks so I’m going to go crazy in that time!!!

I’m 10 weeks and over the past few days my nausea has been so much better and ive stopped being sick! Try not to worry, it does seem to ease up around this point.
Finally received my letter for 12 week scan this morning, its booked for 20th, so excited

[amytrisha]

I really wouldn’t rely on nausea as a symptom to say everything’s ok. In my MMC I was still nauseous and sick on rare occasion, and also in my blighted ovum I ended up with hyperemesis so sickness definitely means nothing!

Congratulations and welcome Oreo

That’s brilliant news Amber

 

[Dandi]

I’m sorry CookieDough. It’s so hard not to worry about every little thing isn’t it? The worry is torture. I’m sure all is fine. We all know symptoms can come and go, but not worrying is easier said than done. Hang in there!

Boog- me too with the shortness of breathe!

 

[emptybc]

I'm with you Cookie. Whenever a symptom fades, I freak out. I am trying to stay calm, but having a sad past makes it hard. Just do what you can to get through the days. One day at a time.
