Summer Sugar Babies! - Early July Due Dates

[HisMissesCDY]

Morning ladies... has anybody experienced a breakout from the hormone change going on in your body... I woke up the other morning and had some huge pimples on my legs and now I believe the one on my hip is turning into a broil... should I make an appt. to the doctor or see if they will go away naturally...

coincidentally, a few days before I got my BFP, I saw this pimple like dot a few inches above where my pubic hair (gosh I hate that word! lol) starts. It was odd because I know I had one there when I was pregnant last time. I sort of took it as a sign I might be pregnant. It went away a few days later.

Then last night I was getting some bumps on the back of my legs. They seemed pimply, but I wasn't sure if they were from irritated or dry skin. I still feel one there right now. I'm not worried.


I've also had one on my hip before ( so strange). I think you should just wipe it with some alcohol once a day to dry it out. But if it gets irritated enough maybe do to the dermatologist.

In other news my nails are so strong from the prenatals : )

Thanks i will try that i had this with my last son hopefully they'll go away but there kind of hurt... I haven't even gotten prenatal vitamins yet guess I'll go this weekend..

RE: Docs not caring

Ya know with my first pregnancy, I had a horrible doc and I had to rotate through the doctors and they all sucked bad, nurses were rude ect!

This pregnancy I have the most amazing doc, after hearing my horror storys and about my losses he garutees me hes here for me as much as he can be. And he has def followed through, look around for plenty of docs!

Girls, i feel so sorry to hear about all these horrible experiences with medical professionals. I was actually so worried to go to the midwife for the first time but she could not have been more lovely and reassuring. I told her about all the bad experiences I had heard about and she was so shocked! At least there are some lovely ones out there....

Well i'm just back from my first prenatal apt. it was awesome! She has given me a referral for a dating ultrasound (yippeee) mostly because i have a short cycle. i have a 21 day cycle, so i tested positive on CD 21!! She said to wait about 10 days

i had blood work done, should get the results in a few days, then got the prescription for the nauseau, so far i've been able to deal with it but figure i will soon enough... LOL

She told me not to dye my hair though until the 2nd trimester.... yikes i was due for a colour and i'm fully white.... hmm... she said i could put streaks... so i may have to if it gets too bad...

Hope everyone is having a great day!!

chat later

Should I be concerned that the doctor surgery didn't actually check anything? I thought they'd be interested to confirm the BFP, take blood or even blood pressure or weight or something.... but they just gave me a book and some folic acid and that was it until the 12 week scan. Is this normal?

 

[kgriffin]

kim, thats great, so glad to hear it went well, i hope mine goes the same nov. 17th, lucky you to get that early ultrasound~

Photographer, sorry, i dont know your first name, that is pretty standard that docs dont see you really until 12 weeks, but they really should have at least confirmed your pregnancy by a blood test

Ya that sounds strange.........i thought they would do a full exam for the first appt.........hmmm did you ask questions about that?

i don`t think that it's anything to worry about, i think it depends where you live.. i'm in canada, so they did a urine test, blood pressure and weight and bloodwork.. but that's just here. Where do you live?

I live in Scotland, in a small town. The midwife only comes here one morning per week. She seemed fairly relaxed about everything and just sent off for a 12 week appointment.

haha yeah i'm having trouble keeping track,, but sounds normal for where you live, i'm in the city here and i was high risk with my last pregnancy and i'm 35 so... they will follow me close enough.

Fair enough. I'm 25 and haven't been pregnant before so i guess they had minimal worries. Ah well, i guess that's all a good thing

 

[mammaspath]

Thanks Laura I said many prayers yesterday as well. The nurse told me the worse thing I could do is stress out over it (which is usually easier said than done). I am trying to stay as relaxed as possible.

Nic – I agree!! I have said it several times already I LOVE this thread.

There is no more blood today (well a little bit of brown, but that’s it). So I feel a little better. I wore a pad to sleep and there was very very light brown on it this morning. I am just waiting it out till next week (which I know its early but I have requested an u/s).

Hey Jess, u mentioned your period isn't due for a week? if so have you heard of implantation bleeding? normally happens a week before af is due.. hope that helps to relieve some stress!

My severe Morning sickness usually starts at 8 weeks,but I have been feeling soooo crappy today.I think this is the beginning of the end! I know its a good sign to be nauseous and all,but man its no fun having a hangover everyday (especially when you arent even drinking alcohol)!

Hey Cecilia

Sorry to hear you're feeling crappy. How long does your severe morning sickness last? i was no where as bad as you but i did have it the entire time... last time i started at 6 wks but this time... 4 wks....

Good luck and hopefully it doesnt start until 8 wks like before.

Hey!
I have my first appointment on the 8th. Getting excited. No nausea yet but it's probably around the corner.

 

[Dahlia2007]

I didn't get MS with my first... and I hope I don't get it this time! But my heart goes out to those that are dealing with it now.

My first appt is on the 9th with the nurse at my OB/GYN office. I will get bloodwork done and fill out some family history stuff, etc. Then my appt with a doctor will be two weeks later
