Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! 2

Chrissy1981

Hi everyone, just a quickie to say I had my 12wk scan this morning and we have one wriggly baby! It was amazing seeing it although I was so worried there would be a problem. I cried and them got a fit of the giggles! I'm 3 days further on than I thought so 12wks tomorrow and due 11th august - exactly 9 months to the day of our wedding!!

In other news, yesterday was my first day for ages and ages without being sick - am hoping um turning a corner. I have also caught OH's Man Flu so feel very pooey!

Sorry for bringing the mood down. If anyone minds me talking about my losses please let me know and I'll stop. I would completely understand

I don't mind lovely emsbet and kittenpie, I wouldn't have had a clue about mmc otherwise and even though that's my main fear at the moment - it's not because of you, my google searches would find it anyway! To hear that you are pesevering in spite of losses is definitely helpful to me. I went looking for you yesterday on some threads I thought you would go on and was quite sad we hadn't seen you!

Fishcake, hope you are able to get yourself sorted chickadee, and the docs know what to do for bean.

sexymouse, thank you. I am used to backwards rolls and haven't felt dizzy. Was a little hot after teaching and demonstrating some sit ups the other day but think that is 'cus I'm unfit, too!

Gemma, sucks having less people in real life who know. I have some stupid barrier up at the moment where I think, the more people I tell, the more likely something will go wrong!?! Wish I could just buck up and enjoy this stage... argh, only 12 days til scan...

Chrissy, that is so cute, 9 months to the day of the wedding! Does that make it a honeymoon baby or am I being totally innumerate?!

Had a little cry with hubby after I spoke to midwife earlier She said that it's unlikely there is something wrong if I've had no bleeding and a positive pregnancy (I said my fear that I'm going to get to the scan and there be nothing there or something that ended weeks ago). She mentioned that mmc is very rare, but didn't really help. Just said as I've been sick, the strong hormone story which I know isn't real and to ring doctors if I do get symptoms as they can refer me to EPU. Think it was good though as my hubby really doesn't understand why I'm so scared and was really supportive mopping my tears! 12 days til scan and I can't see me getting more positive til then... mw also said that her doppler wouldnt pick up a heartbeat until 14/15 weeks and if I was slim - which I used to be but not now.

keep me sane girls!

Thanks for your kind words student mrs. Which threads were you looking on?

I think every woman worries about mc when she finds out she is pregnant but the chances of having one is 20-25% depend on where you read. That means the odds are heavily in your favour that you won't have one. I understand you worries though.

A lady who I worked with went for her 12 week scan convinced that they were going to tell her there was nothing there as she'd had very few symptoms and the ones she had were mild. She said she was in complete shock when the sonographer turned the screen and said "there's your baby"

If you've had no bleeding or pain then chances are massively in your favour that everything is ok and even if you'd had either of those it doesn't mean that it would be bad news.

Well, I may have looked at some baby related threads and also clicked your username to see all posts by...!! Sorry but I like seeing your daily posts and in an odd way, especially because I know you've been through it before and you seem so sensible and well-balanced to me, I miss not seeing you!!

Thank you for your kind words. I hate being such a wet worrier, I am normally so positive and optimistic, and the most broody person you will meet but for some reason I just can't imagine there is something alive inside me?! I was having quite strong symptoms but because I read symptoms stay on, it doesn't seem to calm me! Think I am getting used to them slowly, too.

I know we're just at the beginning of 2012 if something bad does happen but meh. Just wish it wouldn't affect me and my work. Had to get an extension recently as sitting to write at the computer left me googling every twinge and suspecting ectopic, mmc and all manner of things. If there is something there, I need to look after myself, not worry and focus on getting these hours for my course. Even now I am writing this while writing a lesson plan, hmm!

Haha! I don't mind, I look at people's all posts sometimes too. I do post quite a lot even when I'm trying not to I'm just a chatterbox and I'll tend to type whether I'm happy or sad. I've found this site very therapeutic over the last six months or so

It is difficult to stay calm and relaxed. I was a nervous wreck for my first two pregnancies but I've come to realise that worrying doesn't stop anything bad happening. So what I'm telling myself this time is as there is nothing I can do to stop anything bad happen I might as well not worry and instead enjoy each day. There will be plenty of time to worry and be upset if something goes wrong. It works most days

Emsbet, I know what you mean. My default mental setting seems to be 'when it all goes wrong...'. I told work yesterday, because I needed a car parking space as busses are making me ill, and my thought was 'well... even if I don't make it to 12 weeks, they'll find out because I'll be signed off by the doctor. And if I do they'll find out then... so I might as well tell them now'.

My sickness seems to be getting better. Which is worrying. I was so ill earlier this week, and yesterday I woke up feeling amazing! Today I'm feeling a bit ill again, but I'm still worried. Ugh. This is all so stressful!

9+5.

my sickness really improved at 9 weeks so dont worry - it has come back a bit in the 12th week

Morning all,
I'm really struggling at the moment, the past 2 days I have barely kept anything down. A few sips of water every 2 hours is about my limit really, although yesterday I managed to keep a rich tea biscuit down. My lips are so sore and dry, my mouth is completely rank, pounding headache and ache everywhere. I know its because I'm dehydrated but I can't seem to get anything in.[]
If im still poorly this evening I've been told to phone NHS direct and prepare to be taking in to hospital for a drip
Anyone had this before?

hi fishcake
Just lurking from the pregnancy thread
And saw your post. I can fully sympathize
I was feeling poorly from 12weeks and thru
Up straight after 12week scan. I plodded on but was not keeping anything down even water and was loosing weight not sleeping and
Was a mess
went to doctor and he sent me straight to hospital,they checked my urine which was really dark I was dehydrated and had ketones in my urine. They admitted me overnight and put me on a drip they monitored my wee and said I would not be allowed home until my ketones had gone from 4+ to 1. I had a good nights sleep and had ceral and toast for brekkie which stayed down

At the time I was so frightened as never been in hospital and all I could think about was if it was hurting our baby. I get discharged late afternoon with anti emetics to stop the sickness. I am 27weeks today and still take the tablets as each time I have stopped I am sick.

Talk to the doctor and don't downplay the sickness (I thought it was just normal ms).
Feel free to pm if you want more info.
Take care of you and baby:)

Well I am please to announce I've had some sucess, 3 rich biscuits and about 500ml of water has stayed down so far today after a few false starts. (Sick about once an hour untill 2pm)
I've had a little nap as well which has made me perk up a little bit, just had a piece of almost dry toast, if that doesnt stay down I'm going to phone up.
Do you think I will get told to go to A&E? Cause that is going to be fun on a Friday night!

I got admitted straight to a ward.if you tell them you are pregnant they should bypass the a&e.i think i got admitted via an acute unit. Does your doctors have an out of hours number that you could call that way the doc could call the relevant dept to get you seen too.
