Wicklori you poor thing, i had a bad tension headache after the scan even though it was such a relief to see everything was going good, i think the build up and been so nervous caught up with me. I slept it off thankfully. I hear the ginger biscuits are great for picking at to keep the sickness at bay, i am going to get some today and see. Im also sipping on fizzy drinks which i find helps ease the nauseous feeling. i'll try anything at this stage

Lets hope once we all hit the 2nd trimester we'll all be full of energy with no sickness and we'll all be flying

I will turn into a ginger nut if I eat anymore!!! I have them everywhere! I think they have taken me out of a few sticky situations!!!!

I might try the fizzy drinks-any excuse!

I hear ya on the tension about the scan... We have the nuchal trans scan in 2 weeks and I am just trying not to think about it.

elly123

I can imagine the tension you might be feeling, i am sure everything will be fine, try relax and stay positive, easier said than done i know. Although im still very nervous about the whole pregnancy im staying as positive as I can. And a good oul wives tale if you suffer ms its a sign of good healthy baby

I must definitely get some biscuits so.

I think women should be able to take some maternity leave between weeks 6-14 due to sickness, it would make life so much easier :D:D:D

Hahaha, I think maternity leave should be for the whole length of pregnancy - you are growing a new person inside you, that's a tough enough job!

Girls, my MS is more like evening sickness, kicks in after lunch and can last untill I go to bed. Food in general helps to keep nausea away, and suprisingly if I spend time with other people I feel better. Might be tired and sick all day and then meet a friend after work and completely forget that I was feeling sick. Socialising keeps my mind away from MS!

Totally with you girls on the mat leave!! Even a day extra off a week....

I also find distraction is great.... OH noticed too... And food! Regular feeding definitely helps... Even if I have to wrack my brains for something that doesn't make me queasy on sight! Think it's time for something now, or the keyboard might get it!

elly123

I find eating regular does help, but i literally need to be handed something to eat because the taught of cooking something makes me sick, i actually haven't cooked since the sickness kicked in. Im going to my mams after work for my dinner most days or else im having a big feed on my lunch and just have boiled egg on toast in the evenings its as much as i can stomach to muster up. I find water makes me heave aswel, im struggling to sip 2ltrs a day but trying my best as i need to keep hydrated considering the amount of water im losing either between going to loo or from been sick.

I definitely think we deserve more time off throughout the pregnancy!!!:)

Lilbe

Girls, I had my first scan today and the baby waved at us!!!
So exciting, can tell the world now!

yellow hen

ah congrats lilbe! Was that your 12week scan? Have you breathed a huge sigh of relief? I cant wait to get to that stage and then try to relax a bit!!!

elly123

Ah Lilbe, Thats brilliant big congrats.
I cant wait to get to that stage either! Counting the weeks. Only 3 to go I hope they are the quickest weeks of my life!!

Managed to go for a meal lastnight with the OH. had starters and mains and it was delicious. couldnt believe i managed the whole lot and kept it down also

I got the ginger nut biscuits yesterday and ive started eating some yogurt aswel my diet is branching out this week . Really hope the MS is starting to settle now.

Lilbe

Yellow Hen, it was a 10 week scan. And we got the first pictures of the baby! Yes, took the doubts away
I think I even fell better now, the nausea went away for a while!

kknitter

Hi All,

May I join in? I am 9.1 weeks today. My first scan/appointment is coming Tuesday. Have been waiting for it long now. I will be 10 weeks then. I had early miscarriage few months back, hence was apprenhensive joining the thread. As i don't have any confirmation other then positive HPT and doctors positive test. no Morning sickness, nausea, food craving or aversions, just gas and a bit of tiredness and peeing a lot (but I anyways drank lots of water before this so not sure). Hopefully my scan gives me the green signal and everything is fine.

Looking foward to the new begining as it is my first

Lilbe

Hey Kknitter, congratulations on your pregnancy! Good luck with your scan

yellow hen

Congrats Kknitter!

Girls, Im 11 weeks tomorrow and as of this week, I actually have no symptoms. Boobs are sore but I dont think that would dissappear overnight. I feel ok otherwise, not tired, nauseaus, skin cleared, dont feel bloated at all. Am really worrying now. Just wish we could get the 12week scan over with. It's so stressful isn't it?

elly123

Congrats Kknitter,

Yellow hen i wouldn't be worrying about your symptoms going, my mam was saying once ya reach the 11-12 week mark you should feel so much better. My sickness has eased a good bit, not getting sick as often but getting a little more up than before when i actually do get sick but i can handle that. This week I'm really really tired, totally shattered by 11am in work, im in bed by 10 in the evenings and not getting up till 8. I wish my neck and chest would clear its so bad, im wearing light scarf's to hide the spots!

The last two nights ive had like a period pain really low down and a little dull pain left of my uterus, i get worried when i get the period like pain im always afraid im going to bleed, thankfully there has been now brown discharge or any sight of blood, but still fecking worrying all the same.

How are the rest of you ladies feeling? All good i hope

Betsie_xr3i

dont worry about the dull period pains that is your uturs stretching

meggysmom

yellowhen with my little one by week 12 I felt great,the off feeling had dissapeared and skin was glowing:),so don't worry to much,ellie123 sounds like round ligament pain,it's your uterus growing for baby:)i'm getting it now in the evening already when i'm tired and have been on my feet all day!

kknitter

Thank you all for the wishes. Yellow hen, I am same as you, no symptoms, hence want to get over with the first scan and want to share the news with family

I am feeling good otherwise, just the workout in gym is getting a bit difficult, even though I am just doing light cardio, yesterday struggled at level 2 of cross trainer :eek: considering what I was used to doing.

elly123

Thanks Ladies, that makes me feel so much better, the dull pain ive had since week 5 on and off so i presumed that was the uterus stretching the period pain i also had around week 5 but went away and only came back on wednesday but it all makes sense baby is growing and i'll be 9 weeks on Saturday. this has just brightened up my day to know its normal

I am totally wishing away the next 17 days until my first hospital appt.

Was chatting to the OH lastnight about things we need done and that. We've also discussed finding out the sex of the baby, i know we have another 10 weeks or so before we make up our minds, he is dead set on finding out but i cant make up my mind!! anyone else had this discussion?

Lilbe

Yellow Hen, my friend had no MS at all during her pregnancy, it's very individual, there is no standard.
Kknitter, wow, you do workouts! I used to cycle and do Bootcamp, but now I'm so exhausted all the time, don't even think of doing exercises!
Elly123, I get some of that pain sometimes as well, it should be just uterus stretching.
Can't wait to get to week 13 and be over with this tiredness and MS!

elly123

Kknitter fair play on the exercise, i haven't been to the gym in 4 weeks im just too tired. I was very fit and active and literally all i am doing now is walking the odd Day and sometimes thats a struggle.
Im going to do pilates once i reach the 12 week mark and get go ahead from doc.
I was very swollen from wk 5-7 and none of my work trousers fit but im back wearing them again, swelling has gone, i expected to pile on the weight from not exercising but I've lost 2-3lbs id imagine from the MS but if i can maintain a good healthy weight through the pregnancy i'll be happy. I am not worried about gaining if im honest once im past the 12 weeks that is and ppl know im pregnant and not just FAT :D i cant wait to embrace my bump

yellow hen

Thanks for reassurance ladies! Elly, I am the same, in that my trousers are fitting better now than they did 3 weeks ago. I've also had that dull ache on and off before. Havent had it for about 2 weeks now but then I havent had any aches lately (bar the ever increasy bossom )

I think in our own way, we all get our heads prepared to hear the worst news at the 12 week scan. Im terrified to get too excited as I couldnt bear the dissappointment. It took us so long to get this far. We've already told our parents as they had been waiting and watching for so long that if something went wrong I'd need to tell my mum anyways. Havent told our siblings yet so can't wait to get that news out there!

Delighted everyone else is feeling pretty ok. A few more weeks and we'll be into the second trimester Shur most of us are probably a quarter of the way through the pregnanct already.

oh Elly, re finding out the sex. I dont think we're going to. Not because there is any logical reason behind it, I think it's the old nerves again and afraid to jinx things etc.... silly really.

elly123

I really don't know if i want to know or not, my OH is set on finding out and i know he will wreck my head with 1day saying he and the next saying she, he would never give it away but i think id end up killing him hahaha. I don't think our parents want to know and i only want to know so that we can do the nursery up other than that i don't. We have a boys and a girls name which will probably change a million times before the arrival but we had these picked before i was pregnant so i don't think they'll change. I kinda like the idea of guessing and the surprise element, the OH says it was a surprise finding out we're going to have a baby and if we know what it is there will still be a surprise when he/she is in your arms. Hmmmmm at least ive a while to think about it and decide.

I decided after the early scan when i seen everything was great that i am going to enjoy this and try keep the anxiety and worry a minimum otherwise i will have myself drove mad.

I know i keep repeating myself but its great having the reassurance of your ladies here. We'll become one big family over the next 9months

wicklori

Oh my Goodness ladies what a crap weekend of vomiting that was! EEEKKK! At one stage not even water was staying down! I think baby prefers the weekday routine.
On the exercise front I have been trying to keep up my gym once/twice a week and started pilates on doctors advice once a week aswell. Walk/cycle a little every day. Really find that the days I do some exercise I feel WAY better. Very, very hard to get motivated when I'm feeling pukey though.
8 days to Nuchal scan.... just trying not to think about it. Saw the heart beat weeks ago so not as worried on that front so much as what if they make some vague statement about an increased risk of something-like what would that mean? Wondering if we did the right thing by signing up for it at all....

elly123

Ah wicklori sorry to hear you had a bad weekend, i think i am the opposite im generally ok at the weekends and worse midweek. my nausea has settled a bit, only seem to get sick now when im hungry or when i feel a bit weak. I had a really bad headache lastnight, at first it felt like a dehydration headache but i drank at least 2ltrs of water. fell asleep for 2hrs but when i woke it was still there ended up taking 1 panadol i was a bit iffy about taking it but i had to take something.

Your nuchal scan will be fine, how far along are you now?

Yellow hen and annettea im really looking forward to hearing how your hosp appointments go, you must be so excited. i have mine in two weeks and it cant come quick enough.

I've had two of those headaches-the pulsing thumping ones? My Mam had a bit of a random idea-put an icepack-frozen veggies whatever, on your head. It definitely gave me relief. I took two paracetamol the other evening-their safe and it's in no ones interests to be in that much pain.

I'm 11 weeks and 3 days. (Not that we are counting or anything!)

elly123

yeah it was the pulse thumping headache i could feel the pulse at the side of my head, i felt when i put pressure on it, it eased slightly, if it happens again I'll try the frozen veggies. Thanks.

Your exactly two weeks ahead of me based on my early scan based on my LMP i should be 10weeks 4 days but i suppose the scan would be more accruate. So i am going by that. I am wishing the weeks away!!

I think we are all in the same boat wishing the time by... I honestly will stop doing that once I cross the threshold of 12 weeks! After that I need every single minute of the time to get my head around the idea of us being parents!!!

You never know what date your next scan might show though either-you could catch up!!!

I hope so

Yeah i think once i can share the news i'll stop wishing the weeks away.

Myself and the OH were laughing the other day, we really wanted this baby more than anything in the world and now that we're actually going to be parents it is very overwhelming we didnt think it would happen so quick (well it seemed like forever when we were trying, it took 6 months) but now its actually happened we're kinda going ohhhhh sh*t this is now for real :D:D:D. Our friends had baby 9weeks ago so we're spending time with them every week, haven't offered to change a nappy or anything like that yet but just been around a baby is good. we are babysitting for them next month so im sure our eyes will be opened to what it entails

Unfortuatnely I have had to cancel my appt on Thursday as we have a funeral that we have to go. Am so dissappointed. I called the hosp this morning and left a voicemail so I have no idea when I'll get another appt. I was so looking forward to being able to tell people once we knew everything was ok.

On a side night, I defo felt a change in my tummys shape last night. I put on weight in the last year so it was difficult to see it initally but last night I was rubbing it and there is a definite change in shape down low. You can actually feel the bump when you rub it. I was delighted to see something as Ive had very few symptoms so far and was a bit nervous! Anyone else notice this yet?

Awh sorry to hear that, hope your ok. Im sure they will get back to you soon with a new appointment that is not to far away especially due to the circumstances of having to cancel.

i'm delighted to hear you are starting to take shape, I cant wait for my tummy to take shape, i dont know if im bloated or its a slight bump its not really that firm but its not complete wobble either . i do have the little indent/shadow line from just below my bellybutton (not sure of exact name) has anyone else got this?

KillerKity

I'm finally deciding to join in as it's just about starting to feel real. Im 13 weeks and due the end of feb but think march is more realistic!

Due to a previous mc and early bleeding I've had a few scans, the last at 11 weeks which was amazing! Like other posters I was measuring small, by 6 days, but it's caught up and right on schedule :-)

My symptoms have eased off except for heart burn, dizziness and sore boobs. Oh, and my belly is rounding!

everything is fine but I don't want to tell anyone! My oh tells everyone he meets but I just told my family. I'm loving being pregnant and don't wanna share! It's this really bad?

yellow hen

Not sure what you call that line Elly, will have to go home and inspect my belly now

The coombe called back and I got a new appt for next week so Im happy enough with that. Another week to keep stum........

Ah thats great that its not too long of a wait.

The line is called "linea negra" i googled it some people see it and others dont, but i can defo see mine!

kknitter

Had my first scan, I am 10 weeks, unfortunately it measured 6 weeks, its almost certain it's a miscarriage but EPU will do internal scan to confirm it. Really devasted, I am out of this thread

yellow hen

oh kknitter, Im so sorry to hear that. It's what we all dread hearing but unfortunately its all too common. When can you go back for the internal scan? The waiting is so hard.

elly123

awh kknitter im so sorry to hear that, you poor thing, i hope you can get the internal scan asap xxxx

Lilbe

Oh Knitter I hope it was just a mistake and the internal scan will show that everything is fine!

kknitter

Thank you Yellow hen, elly123 and Lilbe for the replies.
Internal scan is for this friday. I doubt yesterday's was wrong as I saw the sac and it was tiny and no heartbeat. But lets c what happens friday.

Lilbe

Morning ladies, how are you all feeling?

I've started my week 12 and feel much more energy today than I had in the last few weeks. Actually thinking of doing something after work, not just dragging myself home and lie on the couch. And I was able to cook without getting nausious a couple of days in a row! Yesterday even got some extra food from my husband's plate Though I still feel queasy and tired in the evenings.
Things are starting to look brighter, can't believe I'm getting out of the exhaustion and nausea of the first weeks of pregnancy! Looking forward to the second trimester!

elly123

Morning,

Today is my first morning i feel ok, no real nausea and MS seems to have settled. I also cooked my first meal in about 4 weeks yesterday and it was delicious. my tummy is starting to round down low, even the MIL mentioned it which i was surprised at because im only 9+5. My dating scan is Monday week im hoping i am further along than ive been told, my doc said im 11 wks 2moro based on lmp but my early scan measured me as been 8 days behind what doc said. i had a small bit of ligament and stretching pain last night scary when i first didnt know what it was but now i know its normal it doesn't bother me.... im able to eat an awful lot more than i had been aswel. I went out for a walk lastnight and i even managed some light cardio in the gym on monday so im hoping i am over the worst of it now and that the little rascal is all good and comfy inside and that scan and hosp will go well and i get a new lease of life

Have you told many people Lilbe? have you had your hosp appt yet?

Lilbe

Elly123, I had my scan at 10 weeks (I don't know why at 10, seems like everybody gets them at 12, but that's what my doctor did), and after that we are telling pretty much everybody. My parents are coming over next week, will tell them then - wanted to see my mum's face when I tell her They don't suspect a thing, bringing me my mountain skiing clothes, haha! Though better check that she has a return ticket before I tell her - she will want to move in with us and take over the baby!
I have another appointment at 13 weeks, not sure if they will do a scan then, they were saying that will be for blood tests etc. I don't know anything about these appointments to be honest, it's my first pregnancy and I pretty much just do whatever my doctor tells me.

I had a scan at 8 weeks but I paid for it privately and everything was perfect. I haven't been to my own family doctor yet, i went to a gp beside work to confirm the pregnancy back 6 weeks ago and had to have HCG bloods to confirm so they just rang me to tell me the result but i haven't actually sat down with a doctor. Should i go to my own GP before my hosp appt do you think? i have read up loads on pregnancy and pretty much no the do's and don'ts. My first hosp appt is for urine, bloods and dating scan. I know every hospital is different. I then have an appt with the consultant a week and half after my first visit.

You will have to get the video camera out to capture you mam's reaction
This is my first and also the first grandchild on both sides so i already know our baby will have two pretty much live in grandmothers i dont mind im sure i will welcome all the help going

Friends have already started to suspect as im avoiding social events so i cant wait for Monday week to be finally able to tell them!

Ah that might explain it! I had a laparoscopy before I got pregnant and when I got positive pregnancy test just called the consultant who did laparoscopy. So my appointments are all private, probably that's why I had a 10 week and then will have a 13 week (probably also because when I called the consultant to say that I was pregnant I was not prepared for the question about my last period and just said approximate date). I went to GP at about 9 weeks, but just because I had a slight brown discharge and was worried, she did urine test then, but then when I went to the consultant at 10 weeks he did not say anything about me needing to go to GP.
Though may be it's a good idea to see a GP, at least you can sit down and discuss your options, I found it very chaotic, can't really find any information about cost of private care on the internet, they just say cost varies from consultant to consultant, so had to call and ask all the details.
I wish there was some information leaflet for expentant mothers where your options would be described!

Im thinking now i probably should go see my GP, i also had a lap done and i conceived the 3rd month after, i am public with my endometriosis so it is impossible to speak with my consultant (ive been with her for 13years) and nearest appt i could get with her is Oct. I've gone SP in same hospital for the pregnancy but i'll be under a different team, maybe i'll be seen by both or my endo consultant might liaise with my pregnancy consultant hmmmmm i will have to ask about that. I think will go and see my GP in the morning just so he is in the loop

Yeah i worked out that my SP rates will cost roughly €1,000 but i can claim some of this back on my health insurance and then the remainder on the MED1 form i think. I am going to the coombe and they sent me some general information on costs, when they sent out my appointment, doesn't say exactly what it will cost but I worked it out at about €1k.

Lilbe

Yes, that sounds about right in terms of costs. When I called my consultant, his PA said that they will discuss costs with me at my second appointment. So I never even thought about public/SP/private.
And then about a couple of days later it hit me about all these different options, so I called back and asked to tell me about costs as I think you need to know what you are doing in the very start. So private was not as scary expensive as I thought and at least they say that I will be seen by the same consultant all the time.
Ah it's all too complicated!

To be honest i really wanted to stick with the one consultant that I've been with for so long even if that meant going private but she doesn't take on new patients and she only sits public, i was going to go public but decided I'd go SP at the last minute I'm not even too sure if there is much of a difference between public and semi private, maybe less time in the waiting room for appts but that was good enough for me!
It is definitely important to have the figures and the info available before making such a big decision.

I am starting to feel a bit queezy i think it's time for some lunch to keep the nausea at bay

Ah Annette that's great that everything was ok. 3 weeks is a big difference, how can the earlier calculations be so wrong? I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and have my scan next week but I think I ovulated later than normal so I'm kind of expecting them to say I'm a week behind what I thought.

i know 3 weeks is alot they said the same but we really dont ovulate on our period but after the miscarriage last year my cycle was like every 6-7 weeks so i say i ovulate late.. I thought you went for an early scan could they date? Once everything is okay.. How do you feel?? I had no symptoms except massive boobs ha and little heartburn .. u looking forward to your scan? X
