Omg momof1 - what a bod! That's a gorgeous wee bump! I might post one tomorrow when I'll be 8 weeks if I'm brave enough

Aww you guys are great at making me feel better!

Sasha - well done to your DH, that's fab! Hopefully your MIL will know where she stands in the pecking order now. Also, thanks for the stats on mc after heartbeat. I knew it was supposed to be greatly reduced but didn't know exact figures. My midwife just said that getting to the beating heart stage was the hardest bit and so once that had happened mc was a lot less likely.

Momof1 - such a cute bump! That doesn't look like bloating!

Mamms - your boobs betrayed you! Darn those things! My doc said the same thing, they will contact me about the blood work only if something is amiss.

Sasha - I'm glad everything worked out. You don't need the stress of family drama right now. Also, thanks for the stats! Those are so reassuring. Its dumb but now that I've heard the heartbeat I'm even more afraid I might m/c. I know I'm supposed to be less worried but I'm more afraid of losing my little raspberry now more than ever!

Emma your bump pictures are awesome! I hope I'm a cute pregnant lady like you were.

Miss - I'm glad everything is ok!

I am happy about having a little raspberry. Its crazy that 4 weeks ago there was just a teeny tiny little seed! I took a picture of my 8 week "bump"...which is more like a little hump. I like it, it makes me excited to think that baby is making room in there.

Sasha- I love your bump, so adorable!

No it started ugh nausea all day I thought I was going to be free and clear, I hope tomorrow is better.

Sasha doesn't have a bump yet momof1 I was actually trying to post earlier that I feel like the only girl who had a belly before the baby and how I don't want ro post pics till maybe 16 weeks so we can tell baby from pudge! Lol

Hi girls

Gorgeous bumps! Sorry I have been M.I.A for a few days.. lots has been happening. I am glad that everyone is well.

I had 7 days straight of being SICK AS A DOG - like, time off work, couldnt get off the couch etc - and then all of a sudden on Saturday, I woke up and I was fine... I have been fine for nearly 3 days now.. I am so worried.. Even my bbs were less sore this morning.. what the hell is going on?! I have a scan tomorrow so hopefully all will be ok.. cant help but be petrified...

Sorry to be such a wet blanket.. Its just a million times more worry given my previous loss...

I'm sure everything is fine Bam! I didn't have any symptoms yesterday morning and then BAM! My bbs hurt more than ever, I was exhausted, and moody. Then today I have slept all day and just the same normal symptoms. They seem to come and go for everyone. Have fun at your scan tomorrow!

 

[SashaJoy13]

My thoughts exactly jbell! Bam so sorry you have been sick but it comes and goes and your right at the point where it should start tapering off!

So I just found out hubby has strep throat and I have a rash called pityriasis rosea... I found a study that said its associated with miscarriage I don't know what to think... my next scan is thursday though so holding out till then!

 

[Bambola]

Sasha darling I have just read like 20 credible articles about pityriasis and no concerns about miscarriage! In fact I found a preg forum where many women had it and went on to have healthy babies!! I think concerns are in really severe cases, but then again, most things that are really serious could have implications on pregnancy? Try to relax hun and don't get run down..

 

[SashaJoy13]

Thank you Bam... have you had your scan yet??? I think you deserve a little peace of mind too!(not to mention peace of stomach)

 

[makemeamammy]

Hey ladies, Bam try not to worry! I've been exactly the same, sooooo sick and I'm almost praying for it to pass and then when it does I'm panicking! I'm just telling myself sickness doesn't last forever and so there's no reason to worry if it goes as it goes for almost everyone at some stage.

Sasha, hope you and DH are both feeling better soon. Lots of wee buggies going about. No kissing that DH of yours I've had strep throat and it turned into glandular fever because I didn't rest. Lots of r and r needed for both of you!

Hope everyone else is doing ok. I'm actually feeling quite relieved to be working now as it takes my mind off how sick I feel! I think it would be worse sitting at home. There's nothing like a class full of kids to take your mind off how you feel!

I sometimes make celebration cakes for people as a little extra earner and I'm beginning to regret taking on cakes at the mo! I do them in the evening and struggling to muster up the energy! I've got one due on Friday I need to get cracking on tomorrow! it's the decorating that takes the time! I made a 2 tier one a few weeks back and found myself being much more slapdash than usual because of no energy, then I feel bad taking money for it!

Hope you're all well and beginning to feel the spring air! It's snowing here...again! xx

Hi everyone,

Sasha I second what the others are saying, I'm sure everything will be fine, just take it easy and look after yourself!

Mammy,I don't envy your sickness, I am so happy not to have really had it yet apart from a few waves of nausea that quickly pass.

I had my first scan today, ahhh it was so amazing! Heartbeat was beating strong and it measured pretty much bang on my estimate. I can just relax and enjoy it now I know little bean is ok. Phew!

 

[momof1making2]

Sasha- I would not worry at all I'm sure you're fine and I hope you and hubby feel better!
Bambola- I have non-symptom days as well unfortunately they always return , I am sure your fine love but I can't wait to hear how your scan goes.
Missus- look at your beautiful bean!!!!

So I finally figured out how to get rid of the nausea, EAT CONSTANTLY :HAHA: ! If I'm eating I feel fine when I stop I start to feel sick again. I'm going to get so fat ahhhhhhhh............

 

[makemeamammy]

Aww missus, look at your gorgeous wee raspberry! They actually look like babies now instead of little blips

Momof1 - I'm going by the same rule! I need to eat at least hourly! Since coming home from work 2 hrs ago I've had 2 crackers, a crumpet and a bowl of cereal. Still not actually had dinner though! xx

I hope our little raspberries are getting all the benefits from the extra food intake and not our "buns and thighs"

 

[makemeamammy]

I'm starting to feel the waistband on my good work trousers getting tight. Jeans are fine but don't know how much longer the work trousers are going to last! My tops are all fone except for around the afore mentioned boobies! Anyone else feeling things a bit tight yet? Xx

 

[SashaJoy13]

So jealous of your scan missus... I get mine in 3 days (still haven't seen heartbeat) such a cute little bean!

Mammy my bbs have gotten big too... I have had to move up a size in both bra and shirt, and they are both starting to get tight already... double D here I come! Lol

I hope you ladies suffering from ms will find relief and peace of mind soon. I sometimes wish I had ms just because I haven't seen the heartbeat then I think... nah maybe not! Nausea when I first wake up is enough for me to feel uncomfortable and reassured!
Oh MIL complimented me and said that pregnancy suits me... she said I seem very relaxed and comfortable sharing myself with the baby! Its the first nice thing she has said about my pregnancy!

 

[missusgee]

Haha yep my work trousers and jeans are getting a little snug spending every evening in loose comfy trackie bottoms or my pj's though! I'm also a keen scarf wearer at work and in public to hide my ever expanding boobs!

 

[Bambola]

Hey ladies.. Just ate a block of chocolate... How terrible! I am officially sick as a dog again and have had a headache for 24 hours!!! Help!! Lol going for my scan n an hour.. Will let u know how it goes.. Makemeamammy post a pic of one of your cakes!! I love baking!!

Sasha glad your relaxed a bit more!
Missus- gorgeous ultrasound pic!! So cute!!

 

[momof1making2]

Mmmmmmm bambalo, chocolate, I'm jealous.
And yes, I am with all the other girls on the tight pants....I'm soooooo boated.

 

[Bambola]

Hey everyone! Had my 8 week scan! all is well and good!! Thank Goodness! My OB is amazing... he is so caring and nothing is too much trouble - he told me if I feel at all nervous to come in and he will give me a u/s - I see him in 2 weeks for my 10 week and then today have been booked in for my big 12.5 week u/s with a specialist who screens for downsndrome etc - Its all happening!

I have also felt less sick this afternoon which is awesome! Hope everyone is doing well - attached is my 8week pic - you can start to make out the head and body - looks more like a defined bean now! lol
