Starting clomid in February... buddies?

[krissie328]

Happy six weeks.

Its so hard not to worry in 1st tri. With both my pregnancies I had no ms. With my son I had several food aversions and didn't eat much. With this pregnancy its been how much can I eat all day? Overall though, very few symptoms so I understand how worrisome it can be.

 

[AngelaALA]

Thanks for the reassurance I guess because Im at a critical step now Im just worrying this scan cant come soon enough xx

I had my first midwife appt today it felt so surreal she took my blood pressure, weight, bmi, bloods, urine and asked tons of questions took 2 hrs but it made things feel more real I guess, she's booked me in for my dating scan too which is on 30th Jan xx

 

[krissie328]

Yep, definitely at that stage for sure.

Sounds like a good appt. I cannot believe she spent 2 hours with you. That is sure different to here. Will you have the same midwife or is there a group that cycles?

 

[AngelaALA]

No she's my midwife you deal with one midwife all the way through your pregnancy here yeah she took loads of blood and all my vitals she had this booklet with loads of questions in that she had to ask about me Dh our families
She even made me blow into a tube to check my carbon dioxide readings all was healthy though including my bmi and blood pressure and she has also now medically confirmed that Im pregnant lol

She's put me down as high risk due to my fertility issues my mums diabetes and dads DVT but she said its nothing to worry about it just means that Ill have more scans and bloods taken

It has started to feel more real now and my scan is getting closer only 1wk and 3days away xx

 

[AngelaALA]

Hey how is everyone doing xx

The MS is starting to kick in a bit now I get waves of nausea but it hits me in the evenings xx my bbs are not too tender just slightly but they are huge swollen up so much and my belly is so bloated that I can hardly get in any of my jeans theyre starting to feel uncomfortable to wear but the worst has to be the tiredness I feel constantly tired but then keep waking up during the night. I had an awful dream last night that I went the toilet and when I wiped there was bright red blood it seemed so real that I woke up and went straight to the toilet to check thankfully all was okay not a drop of blood to be seen. I guess Im getting more anxious as my scan is only a week away xx

 

[RedRose19]

I hope your scan goes well xx sorry to hear about the m&s but also good sign xx

Started my meds yesterday eeek

 

[krissie328]

Angela- I hope that MS isn't too bad for you.

Red- How exciting you are starting meds.

I have one more hour left at work and then I am off for two weeks. I am so ready for a break.

 

[AngelaALA]

Red goodluck hun let us know how you get on xx

Hope you have a good holiday krissie how are you feeling xx

 

[krissie328]

Thanks Angela.

I'm feeling good for the most part. I just tire really easily. I'm definitely counting the days now. I have about 5 week left is all!

 

[AngelaALA]

Merry xmas everyone hope you have had a lovely day and I think I got away with not drinking its been hard though keeping quiet xx

 

[krissie328]

Merry Christmas ladies!

Angela- good job with keeping it quiet. The holidays would be so difficult. I was about 5.5 weeks when my BIL got married and it was so hard.

Congratulations Angela! Your maternity system is similar to ours here. And tbh it’s probably a good thing she has labelled you high risk. She sounds like she’s on to it but also getting the extra scans is so exciting. They’re may not be things that are going to put you and your baby at risk but she’s keeping an extra eye on you which is great. I hope that made sense... not great being high risk, but great that she’s on top of it and you’ll get to see your baby more often.

We found out on the 23rd dec last year so had to try and get away with no drinking too.

Krissie, not too long to go!!

 

[AngelaALA]

Thanks Sarah and its lovely to hear from you xx my first scan is 2 days away and Im so nervous I just want everything to be okay xx

 

[AngelaALA]

Been for scan today and all is well baby is measuring at 7wks and 4 days and has a nice healthy heartbeat so happy I started crying xx

 

[krissie328]

Aww how sweet Angela. I'm so happy to hear things are going well.

 

[AngelaALA]

Thanks hun how are you feeling xx

 

[krissie328]

Thanks hun how are you feeling xx

Doing okay. I'm really ready to be done at this point. I'm at the doctor's 3 times a week now and I am just so anxious.

I'm also really struggling with my blood sugar and its just really stressing me out. I remember these last few weeks were hard with my son too.

 

[AngelaALA]

Well its not much longer hun to wait till you meet your little princess you got a name yet xx

 

[krissie328]

Well its not much longer hun to wait till you meet your little princess you got a name yet xx

Indeed! It sounds like they want to induce at 38 weeks, so about 4.5 weeka to go.

Yes, her name is Alice Rose.
