Hey all
Its so quiet here!! Beth congrats on your scan, really try not to get down ( like I can talk) I too have been obsessing over every little symptom and so sure its another boy just a way to protect ourselves I guess!!
Odd glad you had some r and r !!
Just got back from a girls trip to Sydney so much fun.
Only 5 weeks and just started getting mild nausea and a sour taste in my month, REALLY sore boobs and tired. When did morning sickness hit for you all?
Hope everyone is okay xxxx

Beth I really don't think gender and location of implantation are linked. It just doesn't make sense. Not to me anyway. As Kitkat says we are likely protecting ourselves subconsciously. I feel like I'm having a boy but it's probably just a subconscious protection thing. I even have a couple of names for him.
Odd and Kitkat glad you enjoyed some time out!
I started feeling rough in week 5 but then week 6 was the worst. Since then I have felt sick and dizzy lots but maybe I'm more used to it. It's slightly different to last time.
On my way to my scan now yippee!!

It's great to see so many ladies in here. Congratulations again to those I have already congratulated and congratulations to those who I haven't. I hope pregnancy is treating you all well. I know it's easy for me to say since I'm not in your position but, be kind to yourselves when it comes to gender. Just remember what it took to get you here. Wishing you all the very best for fantastic outcomes :D

Had the scan and all is well - heart beating 154bpm, measuring at 8w2 to 8w3 which is consistent with ovulation date :)

Thanks boysway !! How are you doing? Stephk yah!! For happy and healthy heartbeat ....
Sorry you are so dizzy and nauseous this time round my second pregnancy was soooo different to my first I was really dizzy and all day sickness from week 4 so far this is more like my first but waiting to see if that changes at six weeks!!
How are you coping with work?
Silly question but is dating scan based on day you DTD or ovulation? Xxx

I think its based on ovulation, the measurement is consistent with when I believe I ovulated.
Sometimes at work I am finding it very difficult to function!! Thank goodness I have to leave at 5pm every day to pick up DS from nursery!! Not feeling too bad at this moment though to be fair. There is a latent sick feeling but the room isnt moving which is a bonus lol.
Cant say I am particularly motivated to be doing any work......
kitkat I am sure the symptoms will kick you up the ar5e very soon!!
boysway - thank you for visiting us and your wise words, please keep in touch, how are you and your DH?
-
I am almost 11 weeks and as soon as I think I'm feeling better it hits me again. Lately it is just that I am soooo tired and can not function at work. I hope it's almost over.
Kitkat, I was feeling great up until the day I was 6 weeks! Then it hit me hard!
I am counting down the days until my nt scan on Sept 4th. I will be almost 14 weeks and I hope there will be gender clues but who knows. If not my gender scan is on September 19th!!! Can't wait!

Kitkat and steph, things aren't any different unfortunately. I'm just feeling very much over everything right now. It doesn't feel like there is a 'light at the end of the tunnel' at the moment, I'll get over it. Thanks for asking :)

Aoii, sounds like we are in the same boat! I am just now 11 weeks and keep thinking I've made it out of the worst - and then I'll have a really awful evening and be reminded I'm not out of the woods yet! I also felt great up until the day I was 6 weeks :-) Our NT scan is a week from today, but we'll only be 12 weeks. The gender scan will be Sept 16th, I think :-)
Boysway, I'm so sorry to hear that you're still having difficulties! I hope you can stay positive, but I know it's tough :-(
The past few days have been horrid for me. Sunday, I came down with a mild fever. I thought it was mild at least, until I googled it and it says that your should go to the ER for a fever over 100.4 when pregnant as an elevated temp over that for a period of time can cause miscarriage or increased risk for birth defects such as cleft palate, heart defects, and neural tube defects, such as spina bifida. Great. I called the OB after hours line and she said to treat with Tylenol every 6 hours to keep it down, but that if I couldn't to go into the ER. Ugh... Tylenol seemed to do absolutely nothing for me. At about midnight, my fever hit 101.7, the chills started, and I felt like I had been hit by a bus. I got in a luke warm tub to try and get it lower. I sat there for almost 3 hours as it slowly lowered. I was pretty much freaking out because it wasn't lowering very quickly, yet DH didn't seem worried at all and was more perturbed that I had woken him and asked him to run a bath for me. Nice, right? Then when I mentioned to him while I was sitting in the tub that we might need to go into the ER and that we'd have to call and wake up his parents to get one of them to come over here so we didn't have to wake up our daughter, he said that I should just go by myself. Seriously? Here I was pregnant, shaking with chills from this fever, feeling like absolute garbage, scared we were killing or harming our child, and yet he would rather me drive myself to the damn hospital in the middle of the night rather than wake up his parents, who I know would have come over in an instant! I love my hubby of course, and for the past day while I was sick, he had done everything I asked of him, from making me soup, to taking care of Lyra, to running me the bath, but he's not very compassionate and never once sat down on the bed with me and gave me a hug or comforted me. He's very squeamish and hates germs, so he pretty much just stays away when I'm sick. I found that all I wanted was my mother, lol. Anyway, after almost 3 hours in the tub, my fever finally broke. I ended up dry heaving a ton on the way back to bed, putting me in tears, but after that I was finally able to sleep a few hours, but very restlessly and then went into my regular doctor first thing in the morning. They of course couldn't really pinpoint what it was, but put me on amoxicillin just in case. So far, the fever has not come back and after an entire day in bed yesterday, today, I am finally back to feeling more decently like myself. I have of course checked for the baby's heartbeat frequently since then and have been somewhat reassured that I've been able to find it, although that doesn't mean that it didn't cause some sort of defect, which is so incredibly scary to me. But of course, there's nothing I can do about it now. I just hope that those 2 or 3 hours with the elevated temp didn't do any permanent damage! At the time though, I just didn't know that driving and waiting in the hospital waiting room for almost as long was a better route than the cool bath, and I'm crossing my fingers we made the right decision. Oh, and although the OB nurse said not to use ibprofin, my regular doctor said that you can in the first and second trimester if the tylenol doesn't work to lower a fever. Luckily the fever did not come back so I didn't have to go that route, but still, it was interesting to hear. I just get so frustrated sometimes with night nurses. We took our daughter the ER one night on a night nurse's recommendation because we couldn't get her fever down with alternating advil and tylenol, and all the hospital did was give them both to her at the same time, which did the trick. Of course we ended up paying over $1200 for those bills, when I could have done the exact same thing myself for her at home! I just wish they would tell you that stuff rather than making you go through the ordeal of the ER and all those damn bills! Of course, at the same time, when a nurse tells you to go to the ER, generally speaking, you listen. And my OB nurse pretty much didn't give me any other things to try other than going to the ER if Tylenol every 6 hours didn't do the trick. Really? She didn't even mention the bath, but my mom did when I called her. And the fact that advil could be used if needed would have been nice to know too. I just kept thinking, what is the hospital going to be able to do that I can't? They might put cool compresses on me, but a cool bath at home is essentially the same. They might give me advil in a worst case scenario, but I had that at home as well. Ugh, sorry for the rant, but it just frustrate me that they are so quick to shuffle people off to the ER. The ER is scary and expensive, not to mention full of germs and disease! Oh well, it is what it is now. I do think we made the right choice in that I don't think they could have lowered it any faster than I had, given that I would have had to drive there, wait around to get checked in, etc. From experience, I know it's not as quick as you might think :-( Again, sorry for my rant!! I guess I'm just looking for some compassion and sympathy since I don't get any from DH :-( Thanks for listening ladies!
