I have ben having cramping too, so I believe that is normal. I don't remember with my first...

I purchased a doppler last night for 41.95. So excited even though I have about 2 more weeks before I know I will hear anything!!!!

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Getting darker....




our stickybean we have named Dexanay until we know whether boy or girl which will be at birth of singleton.

which is a mixture of my name and daddy's name lol

Darker is good, BB!! : )
I've thought about getting a Doppler, but I think I'd freak myself out if I couldn't find the heartbeat.

I just realized I never updated on this thread. My spotting has been almost nothing the past 2 days, and the cramps have stopped. I think dehydration played a role in the cramps. My boobs are back to completely killing me, and I am completely exhausted. Hopefully all good signs. : )

How is everyone else feeling?

 

[slowloris]

hi guys.
ive been thinking of getting a doppler too, as 12 weeks is so long to wait for scan!!! i read somewhere that the chances of them working are really low until about 8 weeks than they gradually get better. so im holing off till then as i would struggle if i couldnt find anything!

my symptoms seem to be coming and going lately. been very irritable and moody lately and have no appetite. my boobs are not really sore anymore, but m still being plagued with nausea all day, and sense of smell being to sensitive is not helping!!

gonna be a blueberry tomorow!!!

 

[SoBlessedMama]

Yay, blueberry!! I was excited to have a pea on Friday! ; )

I have had some nausea on and off, and most food just sounds terrible. I'm drinking a ton of water, so I pee constantly! My sore boobs have been the worst symptom. (But I'm happy to have them if it means all is well!!!) Last night I was putting my 4 year old to bed, and he rolled over and elbowed me in the chest. I yelped and scared him it hurt so bad. And then I felt bad because his response was, "oh, gee, sorry about it, mama!" Lol he had no idea what he was apologizing for, but it was sweet!

Hey lovely ladies.

Sorry i've been a bit scarce this week but here's a few updates:

So i've been puking my guts up all week, as much as four times in one day, which has been awful. i've also had little to no appetite, i've been out for dinner twice this week with friends and both times I have just picked and pushed at the food on my plate, which is not me at all, as i ADORE my food.

Friday afternoon I went to the loo at work and found that I was spotting brown watery discharge, it's not been enough for a pad, but it's been there every time I've wiped. This has only just stopped today. I have also had the most excruciating (what I hope to be) trapped wind, which has had me almost in tears on numerous occasions this weekend.

So today I decided to go to A & E to get it all checked out. They checked my urine, I don't have a water infection. I'm still showing up as pregnant, (thank god) however they did detect the blood in my urine. So i'm booked in for an early scan on Thursday morning, the day before my midwife appointment on the 7th.

I bought some Rennie Deflatine tablets today to see if that would help with the pain, and they do - they are like magic tablets!

Hope everybody is well xxxxxxx

 

[slowloris]

Well the morning sickness is a good sign for u! Ive not really felt it today. Its weird how symptoms come and go.

 

[SoBlessedMama]

Lulu--I agree--the morning sickness is a great sign.

I also had a tiny bit of brown discharge last week, and my doc did an early scan and all looked great. I'm sure everything is fine, and I hope your scan Thursday is reassuring!

I have a follow up scan on Friday, and I'm hoping baby is growing and we can see a heartbeat!!

 

[slowloris]

How are we all.doing? Cant wait to get to 8 weeks. I think ill feel better then. Feeling really sick today but amazingly still haven't thrown up!

 

[Blackbarbie04]

I'm good extra sleepy, just found out that the prenatal vitamins I have been taking does not have iron, so on t0 get some new vitains today!!! I am sooooo tired it's ridiculous!!! 12 more days I get to see my bean!!!!

 

[SoBlessedMama]

Hi girls! I've been awful about updating on this thread! I'm glad to hear you ladies are doing well. : )

I'm doing well--nausea really kicked in on and off the past few days, which I hope is a good sign!! I have my follow up scan Friday, and I will be 7 weeks exactly. I REALLY am praying that we see a little gummi bear with a strong heartbeat!

 

[slowloris]

Good luck for Friday! Yesterday i had to cancel work. Just felt constantly queasy. And all night as well. I wonder how long this will last!

 

[SoBlessedMama]

Thank you!! I get more nervous the closer I get to the appointment Friday.

Nausea was bad for me this morning, too...it has been letting up if I est relatively quickly, but I got halfway through a bowl of oatmeal this morning and had to stop because it was about to come back up. Ick. But hopefully it all means baby is growing, right? : )

 

[LuLu1987]

Hey ladies!

Been for my scan today and I'm pleased to report that baby is fine, heart was beating away nicely

I cannot explain how relieved I am, I really thought it was going to be bad news today. Got my first midwife appoinment tomorrow, at least I can relax and look forward to it now.

So blessed - hope everything goes well for you tomorrow and you get to see your gummi bear xxc

 

[Blackbarbie04]

Took me a minute getting out the bed, well off the bed this morning. I sat on the edge for about 30 minutes... My sister told me to start having saltine crackers by the bed and when I wake eat about two and drink some sprite and lay down for about 20 minutes before trying to move around. I will try tomorrow... For some reason all I have been craving is Pizza and spaghetti...

Counting down the days to my ultrasound 11 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[slowloris]

That's great lulu! Yeah ive had crackers by the bed. Not always a help.but sometimes. I realised today how much work i have been for my oh, feeling a bit guilty. Hes taken it all so well esp as it wasn't planned for us. So hoping to treat him a tonight. Not sure what.to do/where to go tho?!

 

[LuLu1987]

I've just managed to eat a jacket potato with cheese and beans, it's the first proper meal i've eaten in days, AND i enjoyed it! Which is weird considering some 'Volvic touch of fruit' managed to have me puking my guts up earlier! I'm just trying to eat whatever my body is fancying at the time, which generally is not that much.

Slowloris - I know how you feel. I feel like i've neglected my OH terribly since we got the BFP. I really want to make more of an effort...especially in the bedroom, but tbh I feel so rubbishy and unattractive, it makes it extremely difficult!

If you want to treat him, maybe you could cook him a nice meal (if you can stomach the cooking smells!) or run him a nice bath, followed by a massage? Or perhaps you could go out to your favourite restaraunt or to the cinema?

I have a question - have any of you ladies DTD since getting your BFP? If i'm honest, I feel a little too worried to do it, I don't really know why. Maybe i'm just being over cautious??

 

[PDReggie]

Hey everyone. Haven't really posted in a while. I've just been so nauseous all the time and it ends up making me upset and angry. Yeah hormones! So far, I think everything is good. Really nothing new to report except the constant, and I do mean constant, nausea. I go for my first OB appt in 12 days. Then we will set up a scan. So until then, I just have to hang out. Which is really nerve wracking.

Oh and as to DTD since BFP, we have a few times. Not as much as I would have liked but I am always so sick that I just can't even think about it. But I don't think you have to worry about doing it. Unless the doctor specifically has a reason.

 

[Blackbarbie04]

I think I have DTD about 4 times since my BFP, but the only reason why so less is b/c for some reason at night I feel like crap... Eating on crackers and cheese right now as I do not have much of an appetite.

My DH was talking to his friend at work about not having a cooked meal in a while, it's just that I be sooo tired and I have no energy by the time I get home.

I feel bad but DH had to go get the microwave from the basement. I was on a diet and health kick before and so we haven't used the microwave in 9 months. But I can't even walk through the kitchen without gagging now. Poor thing has had nothing cooked in weeks.
