Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! 2

LadyMorticia

Our baby's due date is supposed to be 6th December (from working it out ourselves and someone lovely worked it out here too) and my birthday is 2nd December but I'm probably going to end up having to have a C-Section for medical reasons and apparently that could happen 2 weeks before the due date, which would put us at around DH's birthday!

MIL is constantly talking about baby ever since we told her! I'm only 7 weeks! As nice as it is that she's enthusiastic, I'm worried that she's going to be disappointed and heartbroken if anything does happen. I had an emergency scan at the hospital at 6 weeks and everything seemed okay but we all know how things can change.

I hope she's not going to be all "Baby" for the next 9 months! I'd like some non-baby conversation too! lol.

I'm due 3 weeks after my birthday so in theory I can share my bday with baby:). I always liked to have Autumn birthday, not sure why though.

We had friends over yest and they came in and said congratulations. OH got told off badly and I still feel very cross with him as I asked him a 1000 times to respect my wishes and not to tell anyone till the scan. It's really hard cause I haven't told my family and friends yet but he told everyone . He won't be at our scan either, he flew away today and will be back at the end of May earliest .

11 weeks yesterday, so hopefully it will subside soon. Still bad today, had some crackers about an hour ago and so far so good, but I'm really hungry!

Currently listening to a really weird play on Radio 4 about a man obsessed by a weird smell! :rotfl:, can't wait to go back to normal work rather than being stuck in the house.

1 week to go until our scan, DH is really overexcited, I'm starting to dread there being something wrong

Hi moneypenny,

In testing they've done, it shows that although your stress levels drop for 24-48 hours after an early scan, they then go up HIGHER than they were in the first place after that, so they don't really have any benefit except in cases where monitoring is necessary. At this point all you would see is a kidney bean shaped blob with a flickering heartbeat, you can't tell that it's developing properly or anything yet. Light cramps are normal, it's probably either everything stretching to make room, or wind, or constipation. Or a combination of the three!

I'm due on the 3rd December, which is the day before my wedding anniversary - could be exciting!

I've been incredibly thirsty for the last few weeks - yesterday I drank 5 pints of squash (almost 3 litres!), but still felt really dehydrated this morning. I don't know where it's all going as I'm not peeing more than normal.

Your blood increases in order to supply the growing baby and placenta so that is where some of it is going.

hi everyone,

littlemoog- sorry to hear you are still being sick, sounds like you are having the sickness really bad, it must be getting you down, sending hugs and ginger biscuits your way. Your not having multipes are you to be suffering so bad?

kavics17- sorry to hear your oh will be away for your scan, hopefully though you can get him lots of pictures, hes a bit naughty telling everyone though, when are you planning telling your parents? after the 12 week scan?

moneypenny21- hopefully your last 5 weeks till your scan will go quick for you, i get waves of feeling calm and then worrying too much think its part of the package of being pregnant.

afm i saw the doctor this morning, because of my history with molar pregnancy, london hospital where i am under life long follow up want me to have an early scan at around 8 weeks just to rule out its not a complete molar and everything looks like it should for 8 weeks and im about 8.5-9 weeks now.

So i saw the doctor this morning and ive got an appointment tomorrow afternoon booked for an early scan, i thought it would have been in the early pregnancy unit (EPU) but its in the anetnatal unit.

Im a bit anxious as in the past we havent had good scans, the dream of being pregnant could be potentially be over by tomorrow night (trying not to think of that) and the fact its in anetnatal scares me a bit, lots of pregnant woman wall to wall, at least in EPU if you had bad news there was a curtain and an alternative way out, im just afraid if its bad news i will have to walk back through woman who are obviously pregnant with their bumps, while trying not to burst into tears.

i am trying to be positive but am wobbling a bit as well, one of the saving graces is the scan is tomorrow, when i left my doctor this morning he said they will phone before the end of the week so it could have dragged on a bit longer.

I agree with early scans not being the reassurance you might have hoped though, cant remember who asked. I am being realistic, i am only going tomorrow to make sure there isnt something else growing there (molar or tumour) i know im not going to be able to see anything and just to see if blob is normal for the weeks and the heartbeat will be a bonus but im not stupid enough to think im out of the woods yet even. All early scans do is give you reasuurance for that particular time, and i think i would rather wait until 12 weeks or more when nearly all the building blocks have been put together to get a bit more reasurrance.

doctor also made me make an appointment with the midwife as well so ive got that to look forward to next week as well, cant help but feel im back on the rollercoaster of stressing out and worrying over pregnancy, i think i might stay in a cabin for 9 months and hopefully a baby will pop out the other end :rotfl:

Oh has got the day off tomorrow to come with me so i think we are going to get out and about in the morning so im not left thinking too much, thats the plan anyhow :T

DH says "maybe it's twins" at least once a day! :eek: there are twins in my family. My grandma, and my sisters. I'm hoping the skipping a generation thing is true
I'm not sure whether my level of sickness is indicative of anything though. I have friends that were far worse and had singletons! Once I managed to eat a couple of crackers mid-morning I was ok for the rest of the day. Felt lousy all afternoon though and my stomach muscles are killing me! Sickness is definitely worse atm though, hope tomorrow is a better day so I can get into work

Hope your scan is good tomorrow, i'll be thinking of you

Moneypenny, I looked into getting an early scan, more out of impatience than anxiety, but we had no free weekends, and decided to save the £99 and add it to the pot for our babymoon holiday in June. If we ever book anything that is

My sickness has been worse this time which I am putting down to having a girl. The boys which were twins I was fine with regards to sickness. Nauseous but not too bad.
