Tarasue congrats!
Kasey, hope your all feeling better. Nothing worse than being poorly when pregnant and poorly little ones :(
Business, how lovely that you got to see your baby and hear the heartbeat :D
I got my first Midwife appt on Wednesday and they should arrange my 12 week scan then. We only get 12 and 20 week scan unless need extra monitoring. I think I will be booking in for a private gender scan at 16week...Im too impatient!!!
How exciting Business! The baby doesn't want to give any clues ;)
It's all getting real now! I got my blood results back (checking immunity levels, etc). For some reason they test for Gestational diabetes in the first lots of bloods. After fasting, mine was elevated so I have a referral for diabetes services in my area. I haven't had GD before.
I have also booked in my first u/s it will be at 6 weeks and 6 days. I will head into the hospital admissions hopefully sometime this week to book in.
How exciting! All these advances in our pregnancies! Woohoo! Here's hoping our days of nausea pass quickly.
I have nausea mostly later in the day but my current problem is INSOMNIA! I don't remember having insomnia with my girls, I do remember getting up more often to go pee, but not obvious insomnia.
I CAN.NOT.SLEEP! I worked the night shift last night, came home dead tired and could not sleep this morning. At night I have no trouble falling asleep and I usually sleep well and then I wake up between 2:30am and 4pm and I cannot go back to sleep! I am dead tired during the day and take a nap when I can but....this is driving me nuts.
Anyone else having sleep issues? This seems so bizarre to me.
Eat something warm before bed if you are able with your evening nausea. Oatmeal is a great fill you up and help you sleep snack!
Ive always been a hard one to go to sleep except when I was pregnant the first time. I couldn't get enough! I had to force myself to eat something after work but I just wanted to go to bed!!!
I had GD with my DS boysway it was not pleasant but thankfully mine was totally kept under control with diet. When you get your diet plan STICK TO IT. Otherwise its very unhealthy for you and your lil bub! Plus no one wants to birth XL size babies if they don't have to lol. Just keep up on your testing and hopefully you will sail through it! Did you gain weight for your sway? It may have been a contributing factor along with possibly being heavier now than with your girls.
Adia, ah no sleep, that's crap especially after night shift. Are you able to have a cuppa and as Nahri suggested, oatmeal is great to eat before having a sleep.
Thanks Nahri. I am hoping to do my best to stick to the diet plan when I get it. I will call them tomorrow to book an appointment. I'm just worried about monitoring my levels when I work so many night shifts. Yes, I gained weight for the sway. Most of it was unintentional. I gained 10 kgs this year. I am classed as overweight now.
Boysway Im 6weeks 6 days
I hope everything goes well with u !
Aida
I have nausea later on the day too , my mom said because im tired.
Like they said try something warm and relaxation music
I had brown spotting yesterday and im sure its because of sex
Its just auwful and painful . I asked my DR for lybricant cuz im super dry (oops sorry !)
Sorry for asking this but do u let ur husband ejaculate inside??
Adia - I definitely have insomina some nights. I have asleep no problem, but then I wake up at 4 AM and can't go back to sleep no matter how hard I try. I usually just wake up for the day. I'm usually tired all day and need a nap. UGH, very frustrating. I had this problem with my last pregnancy also and it only got worse as I got huge an uncomfortable. Insomnia in pregnancy is relatively common - I know tons of friends who suffered.
Adia, I haven't had this problem right now, but I do have a history of horrible insomnia. It is the worst. Keep to a routine at night, and stay away from computer or tv. Those will stimulate you too much.
