So I guess this is my first Nine Month Wait...

Hi all I just found this site. Hope you all don't mind another Newbie. I'm 7 wks worried as I also am epileptic.

Just hoping all will be ok. Just waiting to get date through for early scan

Hi Sunshinegirl,

And welcome! Is your epilepsy controlled by meds? I used to work as an epilepsy advice worker, although I know very little about epilepsy and pregnancy. I imagine it is about trying not to stress yourself and not get too tired. Hope I'm not talking nonsense!

Leelee: to be honest I'm scared shitless right now. I'm so torn, I'm happy that I'm pg but don't want to get to excited in case something goes wrong. Don't want to get my hopes up yet.

I can totally understand why you are feeling this way but try to remain as positive if you can. After all there is an angel in the sky keeping an eye on this little one. How is your OH?

He hasn't said much of anything tbh, but he's so sick right now that he has been sleeping mostly all day. When I asked him how he felt about it he said he felt "ok" about it. Think he feels the same way, doesn't want to get to excited and then get let down. It sucks what happened took all the joy away from this for us pretty much. I'm going to try my best to be happy about it but it's just so hard right now.

Yes it is controlled by meds and I have dropped them as low as the doctor would advise but you always wonder is it enough as not to have an effect on the development. I have also been taking my Folic Acid just hoping for the best x

Welcome sunshinegirl hope all goes well for you

meldmac the first trimester is always a worry more so for you but just take each day as it comes and then try and enjoy the rest im sure they will scan you more this time round so hopefully that will reassure you

i just felt some flutters soo excited

 

[meldmac]

Ooooh flutters!!!

So ladies I need your expert opinion! I have been feeling symptoms like sore boobs, headachy, and actually thought I was going to be sick today at work. Is it normal to feel this many symptoms this early? I don't remember feeling these when I was pg before (then again wasn't trying then either). Also is it normal to get such a strong line on a test at 12dpo? Any insight?

 

[dmn1156]

Meldmac you can feel Symptoms at anytime and i had all of those and still got some lol and you could of ovulated a little earlier than ff thought you may just produce a lot of hcg some women do

 

[dmn1156]

Well i just saw my midwife and heartbeat was all ok so that eases my mind now feeling really sick today for some reason i was nearly sick whilst brushing my teeth not so good how is everyone doing today

Hi Mel, my HCG levels were high and I got symptoms off and on, My BB's never really hurt this time around other then nipples being sensitive but they didn't hurt like last time so it worried me a little. Then again i got the other yuckie feelings I lacked the last time LMAO I think every pregnancy is just different and your body reacts different is all.

Dmn, wow flutters! How exciting! I am still waiting lol I sometimes lay real still and wait but nothing yet hahaha

Wannabe omg how wonderful lady! I cried the day I got to hear it. congrats.

Not much going on with me really. Still going to bed early and feeling the need to lay down more often. I don't have any appointments till Nov 25th as of right now but I do have to call the clinic today and see when they want me to come in for my second set of bloodwork.

I thought my sister was going to bring me a nursery set over the weekend but I messed the dates up. She's not going till this Sunday .. OPPS lol I'm not in a hurry so it's all good...

 

[dmn1156]

[shawnie]

[shawnie]

Oh yes! I suck with surprises bad... We want to start getting things before hand...

 

[dmn1156]

[shawnie]

I want to start buying a few little things after Christmas when theres big sales... Im going to ask for a gift-card for my bday and christmas so I can shop LMAO I tend to ask for things I need around the house rather then wants. I'll just buy baby things.

 

[dmn1156]

Yawn lol I'm kinda awake...

I have a funny, well it was funny to me. I went to go buy some creamer and one of the ladies working there is like 70 years old or more. She's a real cute lil short lady, she barely reaches the counter, just all smiles and adorable well she rings me up and says with a cute big smile "That will be 3 dollars and 14 daum cents." I almost lost it laughing right there. I did not expect that at all LOL I gave her the money and said "Here's your 3 dollars and daum cents, Ma'hm" LMAO we both started laughing. I hope I have a funny since of humor when I'm older. Too cute lol
