Oh goodness ladies.
6 and a half weeks in and I just had my first RUN FOR THE BATHROOM moment. With my DS I never had any nausea or vomitting, for the last few days I have had CONSTANT nausea and now it has turned into getting sick :( I hope maybe it was a one time go. Makes me feel somewhat hopeful since this pregnancy is already the opposite of DS that it is for sure a girl LOL. Really hope this decides to go away though!!! Not pleasant!

No, didn't do it with my DS, so this would be the first. I'm feeling so sad right now, I'm reading Hope's thread about her Beta Results and they're not looking good and I just feel so upset. I'm just praying everything will turn out ok.

Perhaps it is a sign something is different in there, although there are several mums who say they had very different pregnancies but still had same gender. Hope you will be feeling better soon. I'm not feeling any nausea, nothing at all. I felt a little nauseous a few days ago but that's it. And no frequent peeing, nothing and honestly I'm not liking this. Just bigger boobs.

Great name, Rosie! I feel like I see the name "Maggie" everywhere I go these days. I'm hoping it's a sign from the universe! Feeling very tired already. Aside from the insane exhaustion, I'm feeling fine for now.

Hi ladies can I join? I'm due June 22 if the counter at babycentre is right. When will/did everyone go to the doctors?

I didn't go till 12 weeks with DS2 and got told off for it. There are hundreds of tests here - your arm becomes a pin cushion from all the blood tests, there are two diabetes tests, 2 or 3 scans, monthly (then twice monthly) weigh-ins and blood pressure tests, you have to give so much urine they could fill a swimming pool with it, Strep B etc etc I kinda like to keep things natural and unmedicated (till 9 cm when I turn into a junkie!) so it is hard for me.

Hey Emily! Congrats!!! Glad to have you with us. I went to the doctor about 2 days after I found out I was pregnant LOL she was shocked to see me in so early and just took my blood pressure etc and gave me all the paperwork for my bloodwork. I see her again Nov 1st. Sorry to hear about all the tests and such!!! I find it so crazy how things are so different from country to country. That's a lot of ultrasounds! Here in Canada, if I remember correctly from my last pregnancy - I go for 1 round of bloodwork right away (a lot of vials, I HATE doing it!!!), we get an ultrasound at 8-10 weeks, then again at 20 weeks, and another quick blood sample for glucose test later on in pregnancy (I think around 30 weeks). I would hate to have several blood tests, I can't stand giving blood!!

I started getting excited but then I realized there's still a good chance I'm having another girl. Have any of you ladies found out which ovary you ovulated from yet?

Hm I've never even heard of this before lol! Maybe docs don't do it around here!!

I added you to the due date list. If I miss anyone please PM me and I will add you. I havent been on this thread that much as I am totally in limbo with whether this pregnancy is going to work out. Looking like its not. My doctor will call me tomorrow from the blood work done today.

Hi waffles, personally I don't know from which side I ovulated when I had DS and didn't know about Ramzi's theory back then cause I would have asked where placenta was, but now that I know about it, and I've read a bit about it, it seems that his theory is quite accurate and that he had about 98% accuracy, so I'm gonna ask Dr where the placenta is when I'm going for my ultrasound. I don't want to get much excited though if he says that it's on the left (I swayed for girl :) ) but I still want to know if his theory works with me :)

A little update on me....so Friday evening I had a bad cramp and felt something coming out from down there, I thought it was mucus but when I went at the toilet I found some rusty colored blood. I was shocked. I immediately called a private hospital there is in the vicinity and asked to be seen by a gynea and they managed to fix me an appointment for that same evening. I went for the appointment and gynae told me that she will try to make an ultrasound but that probably she won't be able to see anything as baby is too small, I was 5wks 5days. She saw the sac and the yolk sac inside it but couldn't see the baby, but she insisted on trying as she said that probably the baby is behind the yolk sac, that's why we're not seeing it. Then when she was going to give up, we saw a very tiny dot pulsing behind the yolk sac which we think was his/her heart beating. I was a little releaved at least. She sent me for a beta test though, which I did one test yesterday morning and now have to go for the second test tomorrow morning. They will probably give me the result tomorrow evening. I hope everything is ok. In the meantime I'm looking at my pants every now and then to check if everything is ok down there and I only had a little brownish mucus, almost nothing, like when af is over and you still get those colored threads of mucus. I'm praying that everything will be ok for this little one. Hope beta results will show hcg level is doubling :pray:

dreamingpink77

Yeah, I can't wait for the results tomorrow. I didn't ask mine on which side was the baby, I felt it was not appropriate cause I went there in panic and honestly what mattered at that moment was that the baby was ok. And she also said that the placenta is still forming.But I'll go in two weeks time and if everything will be fine, I will ask her where the placenta is. I do remember though that a few days after ovulation I felt twinges on the left side of my tummy and I'm hoping that was my baby implanting :)

Thanks Emily. I also had it with my DS at 7 weeks and it resulted I had placenta previa, but the placenta moved when I was 8months, so I could deliver him normally. I hope everything will be fine.

Are you girls having lots and lots of dreams? I'm having so much vivid dreams, they are so clear they seem reality. I don't remember having so many dreams with my son, but probably it's because I didn't associate vivid dreams with pregnancy at the time, or because I forgot that I also used to dream a lot.

So hungry today :( Woke up early and was very hungry, ate a kellogg's mini bites, arrived work and ate one and half sandwiches with cheese and luncheon meat, (if I had 6sandwiches, I would have eaten them all), after some time took a packet of Pavesini biscuits, now some Special K cereal with skimmed milk and I'm still hungry and got that strange taste in my mouth that tells me to eat more. I weighed myself yesterday and I already gained 1.5kg and I'm only six wks in :(

I had a really vivid one about my 20 week scan (getting ahead of myself I know) and it was another boy. I guess that my brain is trying to come to terms with the fact that although we did all we could it will still probably be a boy. At least I know how to change a boy's nappy!:)

I had a crazy vivid dream the other night, it was strange!! I was itchy all over I have NO idea why lol!!

Back to a comment I made about finding gender out earlier in some countries ect I actually just found out that Canada moved it to 18 weeks because too many people were using the gender scan for GENDER SELECTION, then having an abortion (I thought maybe it was for more accuracy etc). Now most places make the minimum 20 weeks to be safe. COULD YOU EVEN IMAGINE? Having something inside you, a part of you, for 18 weeks then just getting rid of it because of gender? Oh my goodness. I was in love with this baby before we even actually CONCEIVED. Not to mention all the people out there who don't have the ability to have children or can't get pregnant easily... there's people who just throw a healthy child away cause of gender. I can't even believe how sad that is and that there's people like that out there :( Love for a baby is supposed to be unconditional. Sorry I just found this out so had to rant!!!!

I have been having a ton of vivid nightmares. last night it was see through worms crawling all over me trying to get in. I should probably stop watching The Walking Dead before I go to sleep...haha
October 15th, 2012, 04:07 PM
dreamingpink77

Yeah, unfortunately it happens. When I was 21 weeks with my DS I had bleeding and had to be admitted to hospital cause they thought I would miscarry. I remember one night I asked a doctor what will happen if the bleeding persists and he simply said, we'll just have to remove the baby from you. I remember I spent the whole night crying and I felt devastated. Thanks God everything turned out fine. But I remember how I felt at the thought of removing my baby who had lived inside me for 21 weeks, let alone how I could want to get rid of it cause it was not of the desired gender :(

Hi ladies can I join you? I just got my BFP this morning and my due date is June 23rd. I thought I would be able to get into the doctor for b/w but they won't see me until 8 weeks. Is that normal? I can't remember with DS1 but seems that I had b/w done first and then u/s at 8 weeks. I at least wanted to make sure my beta was doubling appropriately.

So here you are Praying4Pink, I have just replied to you on your BFP thread :) Well Congrats again and glad you are here!
October 15th, 2012, 04:19 PM
dreamingpink77

I think it's quite normal to ask you to come at 8weeks cause they cannot see anything on an ultrasound before the 7th week. I already had to go to doctor, first visit cause I had an infection down there, and another visit cause I had a little bleeding on Friday, so I immediately went to DR. Now I'm going again for a 7wk ultrasound to make sure everything is ok cause got beta result today and it did not double. But I would only be going for my 8th week scan if I was sure everything was ok.

Congrats!! Glad to have you with us!! I also agree that's normal :) I went in when I found out a few weeks ago and my doc just checked blood pressure etc and have me forms for my bloodwork and said to just complete it before my next appt. which is Nov 1, ill be just over 9 weeks! So ya I think it's totally normal and fine!

Girls, do you have any solution for the constant bad taste in mouth? I had forgotten it even existed but it started on Sunday and it seems everything I eat or drink, the bad taste is always there. Has anyone found something which makes it go away at least for some time? :(

I have to suck on peppermints a lot. It does make the taste go away, and sometimes makes the throw up feeling go away too.

Peppermints can make the throw up feeling go away????? Omg I am going to go buy some mints in BULK lol I am so tired of feeling nauseous ALL DAY LONG. I woke up at 3am to pee and didn't think I'd get back to sleep cause my tummy was sooo upset. I did but now it's 10am and I'm still just lying on the couch. DS is doing laps around the living room LOL thank goodness he's good at entertaining himself!!!!!!

Hi, girls! :wave: Just checking in! I'm so sorry I haven't been around much lately, but DH took me on a long weekend trip this past weekend (early Thursday to late Saturday) for a belated anniversary present. I wasn't able to get on the message boards in that time, and was too exhausted on Sunday to come and post! Didn't mean to drop off the message boards, sorry about that! I hope all is well with everyone and their little babes! :)

Well, we got the shock of our lives yesterday afternoon - we're having twins! :omg:

I had a lot of sharp pains on my left side, near my ovary, and they had me come in for an early u/s. That's when they saw the two sacs and two heartbeats. We're shocked, scared, nervous, excited...every emotion you can think of. I hope we can handle this!

Try cinnamon gum and/ or jolly ranchers!! I was quite surprised how the gum worked... I would sometimes feel like my tongue felt like carpet but it helped! I think it helped the nausea too because for me, eating helped ease the nausea... Wish I thought of it earlier... Wouldnt be such a chubbs now!!!

Thanks cvd! I googled it and it is pretty much the norm as you said, lol. It just seemed like I went for b/w earlier than 8 weeks with DS1. Then again...I didn't find out until I was almost a week late so maybe it just *seemed* that I didn't have as long of a wait. Another type of TWW :rofl:

Coocoo! That is the exact type of nausea I've been having. I have been eating and eating since it started. I'm so glad you shared this. Next grocery shop I'm getting those things. When did the nausea ease up for you??? Usually it's tolerable and just an annoyance, today it's bad though. I've not really moved from the couch :(
October 17th, 2012, 12:09 PM
coocoobananas

Well mine started earlier this time at 5 weeks 4 days... But who's counting!!! On Zofran and diclectin and prescription antacids... I know!!! It actually started to ease at 11 weeks. But it was still lingering til just last week... But honestly I think the LE diet may have given me something something along the lines of an ulcer as I started having spasms in my stomach just before getting pregnant. So for me I think the acid reflux from that really kept it going!! So hopefully not for you:/
The day I first got nauseous I asked for something for heartburn/acid reflux/ integestion... Im never sure what it is because my sister was given some via iv in the hospital for her appendix and she was very nauseous. We both were like but she's nauseous... That won't work?!? Well literally 5 minutes later she felt 100x better!! All I was thinking was hmmmm wonder if this is part of the nausea in pregnancy?? And I really think it is for me!!
I also did Accupuncture for both nausea and acid reflux and again that helped tons too I think! Wore sea bands for a bit too which I'm not sure about... But I think helped! And of course ate a lot! Green apples helped too and suprisingly iced coffee with milk! Only thing I could enjoy drinking!!! Iced water with lemon helped me get that back!!
Other than all that, nothing really!!! Lol!!!
October 17th, 2012, 01:18 PM

Oh goodness! Well thank you for the tips :) I may ask to go on diclectin when I see my doctor in a couple weeks, I really would rather not though!!! Glad your feeling better! Hope mine eases up soon otherwise this is going to be an incredibly LONG pregnancy!! LOL I never had any of this with DS
