MSE Pregnancy Club IX

Glamazon

I think this thread is good for those people who want people to know they are pregnant but don't want to tell friends and family! I told my lot at 13 weeks and work at 14 weeks but I was on here early one.
It is awful thou when we lose so many people esp as Nicki said like EA who had told work and was pushing for Risk Assessment and Shift Changes.

I think originally I wanted to know things like when do u see MW? 1st scan? etc which this thread is great for. It's only now at 18 weeks that I waffle on and on about meaningless carp!!!

Fitzio - thanks for that. It's weird because at 16w I was so sure I could feel bubba loads but now nothing - I've heard HB recently so not too worried.

We're back from the scan and baby is perfect, and I was right and we are having a little boy!

We had the same lady as my 12 week scan which means we have yet another !!!!py photo but at least we had a good look at bub and he's gorgeous! I can't wait to meet him now!

Congratulations - wow you were right!

ANy names???????

Hi all i didn't want to move over to this board just yet as i am only 5 weeks and didn't want to jinx it as i joined you all in jan but sadly had an ectopic. But i need some advice.
My mum is really silly and doesn't go to the doctor unless she really has to and i found out the other day she has bumps all over her she has had them for 2 weeks and not told anyone. We joked that they were chicken pox and she still was refusing to go to the docs but now i am worried as i too have come out in the spots! I have lots all over my legs and this is how she started. No one knows that i am pg and i really didn't want them to untill My first scan as it was so awful telling them i had lost my last one i would rather them not know.
But i am thinking i will have to now. I have had chicken pox before and i always thought you couldn't get it again but my friends daughter has had it twice. The bump has like a tiny hole in the centre and they are itchy and red.

Can i take antihistamine while pg?

Glam - I'm sure it was just before my 20 week scan that I was first sure I felt bubs. I'm sure I posted on here too

And congrats Hypno - welcome to team blue

ETA: Glam, I went back to check. I posted here on the 5th March, that I though I could feel the flutterings of baby moving (18 +3) and then again on 5th April that I could see my belly move as he kicked (22+5)

I''m sure you can't take them during preg - but please book an appointment to see your gp and fingers crossed they are nothing to worry about :A

That's one for your doctor. Make an emergency appointment, is my advice.

Glamazon, I bought a maternity dress at the Next Clearance. I also got some nonmaternity dresses at the Gap shop that are wraparound, and with some creative tying on top of the bump instead of at the waist they're really comfortable.

I had an exposure to chicken pox at exactly the same point in my pregnancy, and although the risks to the baby are much less than for example rubella when caught at this stage, there are nonetheless risks and you really need to see your GP urgently. The fact that you have had chicken pox previously means that you are very likely to be immune, but there is a small chance that you are not, and therefore still at risk. The doctor will be able to verify this by a simple blood test, and will also be able to tell hopefully by looking at your rash what these are.

Just because you see your GP doesn't mean you have to tell anyone else, but you do need to phone now and make an emergency appointment for advice. Even if its not chickenpox it may well be something else which should be monitored in pregnancy and there's no point in taking unnecessary risks.
