You may not get nausea at all and it is nothing to worry about. They say every pregnancy is different and you shouldn't expect any of them to feel the same. This is true in my case too, i had no MS with DD, my only symptom with her was tiredness in the 3rd trimester. I have a SIL who got pregnant at the same as me and she feels no nausea and just secretly i think she is a typical girl mum (this is her 1st baby).Quote:

I looked back on my last pregnancy, despite it not making it all the way... I was extremely ill, way worse than with the boys, and I was sick my with my boys too. It seemed like it just started to hit around 6 weeks. I remember telling someone at about 5 1/2 weeks i didn't feel pregnant (which is where I am now) because I wasn't sick..
i feel a little relieved my betas have gone up so much
so my point is ...surgena ..enjoy eating while you can!!! and I'll pray it doesn't end in another m/c :(
do they have any idea why you miscarried the other two at 7-8 weeks? are you taking baby aspirin? I know my situation was much different but my peri did mention that losses 8-10 weeks can sometimes be clotting issues as well..
No idea as they won't do investigations until three losses in a row.
I'm happy to report that I woke up very very queasy. I sat at the top of our bedroom stairs trying to figure out how to get to the kitchen three staircases down to the bottom of the house, so I woke up my husband (on his day off!) and asked if he could grab me cereal because I didn't think I was going to make it. Ha. He did and the cereal made me feel much better, but still encouraging to feel sick this morning.
I went to the loo last night before bed and when I wiped (sorry tmi) there was brown blood/ discharge, a fair amount. I put a pad on and got up in the night a couple of times (I didn't sleep too well because I kept worrying I was having a m/c) and there wasn't any on the pad but when I wiped it was still quite dark brown blood.
It was still there this morning but had gone a bit more pinky in colour, and seems to be going back to normal discharge now (about 9am) so I am trying not to stress about it as I know brown blood is old blood.
I checked back in my pregnancy diary from ds1 as I had spotting with him and I had it at 8 weeks and then 10 +4 so about a week earlier than I am now. Sounds like it is the same so I'm trying to stay positive that it is nothing. I had a really fantastic midwife with him and she arranged a scan after the first spotting so at 9 weeks I saw the heartbeat etc and so wasn't that worried with the spotting at 10+4.
I would love to have a scan but I am pretty sure that my new midwife will just say it is one of those things and it is only if it gets heavy and red with cramps that she would recommend a scan. I'm tempted to call her anyway just on the off chance but I have some really important things to do today as I'm in the process of setting a business up. :(
Hey mummy, I've had that kind of spotting every pregnancy. This time it started at about 9 weeks , and at first I convinced myself it was nothing, but after the fifth or sixth time in ten days, I' ve decided to call my GYN. She told me not worry, but take it easy for the next three days. Amazingly, the spotting stopped after I talked to her... So, just take it easy and try not to stress too much. If it happens again, I'd call the midwife. Take care xxx
Thanks Grace, I had the boys at home with me yesterday and picked up my 3 year old to give him a cuddle as he fell over and hurt himself so I'm thinking maybe I just over did it yesterday.
They are at nursery today so even though I've got some meetings to go to it will be a lot easier day than yesterday so hopefully as you say it is just one of those things.
We just tried to find the heartbeat with the doppler again but I think it is just too early so I'm not going to worry about that.
I think if I have more today I will give the midwife a call in the morning and see what she suggests and if there is any chance of having a scan to put my mind at rest. I have my 12 week appointment with her next Tuesday so it isn't long until I see her anyway.
Thanks so much for reassuring me. xx
I always thought that was silly, who wants to have 3 losses !
I had that Convo with my dr after my loss and that's when she agreed we should run the tests.
mummypink - sorry you are having to worry! Brown blood seems not so worrisome as bright red so my fingers are crossed everything is OK. Gosh....it seems like so many of us have had some type of bleeding this pregnancy. Just shows how common it really is!
So I had my NT scan this morning and the tech said it looks like a boy and that she's only been wrong 4 or 5 times in 5 years... So a daughter may not be in my future :( but I'm happy I can start planning and using his name now! Plus I already have a ton of bou stuff, so that works out too :) I posted my pics in the ultrasound forum if anyone would like to have a look!
Thanks NC, fingers crossed it seems to have stopped. I've been trying to take it easy today just in case. It almost feels like I have pulled a muscle or something at times, so I'm wondering if I did do something when I lifted up my 3 year old yesterday. You're right so many of us have had spotting/ bleeding, it is reassuring that it is so common but at the same time I wish none of us had the worry from it. Hope things are good with you xQuote:

Great idea about planning and using a name, I'm trying to chose a boys name too as I think that will be a big help if we find out we are having another boy. So hard to find one we both agree on though lol! xxQuote:

We've told close family, as in parents and siblings and a couple of close friends but it isn't common knowledge yet, I'm hoping I get to hear the hb at the midwifes next week and then I may feel happier about telling everyone. I'm kind of worried about jinxing it :worry:
I saw the hb at my 6 week u/s but I'm still really nervous too. Maybe a few more weeks.
And I just noticed my little friend is now a fetus!!! woohoo
Sorry she told you boy, but you have such a great attitude!! It isn't final until you see the goods for sure so try to keep some hope!Quote:

We've told close family because I need help with childcare while I go to doctor appointments. And then DH has told people at his job because of some of the changes they've made recently. I'd like to hold off telling anyone else until 12 weeks, but I'm already looking so huge that I'm sure our neighbors and all of our homeschool co-op friends are already guessing. Seriously. Huge.Quote:

mrshonyez, im sorry you heard boy but you have a fantastic additude i think its a great idea to name 'him' ect...but remember nothing is set in stone yet so dont loose all hope xx
Thanks homebirthing, it does seem to have stopped fingers crossed so I'm trying not to worry about it. As you say spotting with brown blood does seem to be really common which is reassuring. xx
Mummypink, I hope you don't have any more spotting!! I had a bit this pregnancy too. Thanks ladies, of course I'm sad about the idea of not having a daughter... But looking at that face, how could I not fall in love? I really really thought this was my girl, and I know there's a chance she could be wrong, but I doubt it. I just keep thinking of things I coulda done different in my sway, but obviously this little guy was meant to be. And I know we're still young, but DH wanted to stop after 2 so I was surprised he agreed to a 3rd and don't see him going for 4.
We have told our families and close friends, everyone knew we were trying for so long so it was no surprise. We will announce on FB at 12 weeks though.Quote:

Cinss my back ached for the first time before and after I found out I was pregnant. Nothing is ever the same. Hope it feels better soon. And I'm an old lady...turned 37 in July.
Same here!! I look HUGE!!! Already!! I don't know if its the progesterone or what but I'm not bloated, I'm just looking pregnant already! And I'm also not eating more so I don't know what's going on. With my boys I didn't show til 4-5 months barely and I was tiny the last time too.Quote:

I only did 1 attempt but I've never taken it before so I'm not sure what it can do. Does anybody have experience with taking Zyrtec?
Shell did you have another scan today?
I've only told my mother. I'm thinking I won't tell anyone else until 12 weeks. With my son, I told everyone when I had a scan at 9 weeks because I had cramps and was terrified something bad was happening (my third pregnancy, remember... but at that point, it was the furthest I ever got to) and saw this perfectly measuring 9 week fetus with a beating heart and I felt like it must have been it... so I shared with everyone! :) But I feel like waiting until 12 weeks this time, for some reason... if nothing else, because it will be much more fun to surprise people by sharing a 12 week ultrasound.Quote:

Yes ma'am. Still waiting to see the dr but we only saw one, measuring about 6 weeks. And a heartbeat!Quote:

I am thinking of pushing it up but don't want to make it too soon and not see anything and then be upset :/
I took Zyrtec with my sway and it is kind of hard to say b/c I had no EW CM anyways. But, I do remember that AS said to make sure you took it far enough in advance of your sway b/c sometimes it can take 24 hours to start working (I think that is right) and that you don't want to take it past +OPK b/c it could dry you out too much. Hopefully it helped my sway!Quote:

I don't know what I'm doing Tiffani. I think I'm a bit depressed because I'm still so sick. I feel really bad for my kids. We are usually very busy and this ms has stopped me dead in my tracks.
I feel like time is dragging and can't imaging going like this for months...mine lasts a while. My dh works 2 jobs and he's not home tonight. So I'm feeling extra blah today. It doesn't help that it's been raining all day either.
Oh sweetie, you sound really fed up :(
Big hugs I hope the sickness starts to wear off for you soon xx
