Less than 12 weeks pregnant club! Part 3

beckyandjack

At least there's a silver lining with no sickness yet any name, mine has really only started this last few days, am 7 weeks, but last time I was in hospital by 10 as couldn't keep anything at all down!

I'm on meds for pain and anxiety at the minute, doctor says that the benefits outweigh the risks but does make me so bit jumpy, but equally I don't feel in a position to not take them either so catch 22!

I have to see my hand doctors in a few weeks about further surgery, am hoping they will agree to do it without a general so it can still go ahead!

I thought I had added myself and Alipops to the list but it's dropped off again. Could someone add me again please as clearly I keep doing something wrong

Wangdoodle due 18 Jul . Scan booked 7 Jan.

I feel very stressed like I can't cope. I'm so worried about out scan already even though it's not for ages. And even Ido do get my baby through 9 months how will I cope caring for him/ her? I can't even add myself to the blimmin list, how will I manage with a baby?!

Don't get me wrong, we really want this baby, but I'm feeling so overwhelmed at the minute. Sorry for the rant ladies. I hope you can understand and forgive me.

credit crunch I take pregnacare or the teso vitamins (one or the other not both!)

Sorry your meds aren't much fun any name hope you're doing ok.

beckyandjack maybe it's just the endoc year/ chrimbo limbo blahs? I'm hoping things will pick up in the new year. I'm struggling to get excited too, all my energy goes on worry!

Wangdoodle it is so normal to feel overwhelmed by the actual baby bit! I had no idea what to do the first time, just always follow your gut and never follow advice that doesn't seem right whoever it is giving it, certain health visitors may have been asked to leave my house after they started telling me I was doing it all wrong!

Just take it all step by step, concentrate on getting through your scan first, there will always be something else to worry about, and probably none of it really matters!

I'm taking the pregnacare max which is 2 massive tablets and an omega oil tablet every day! They make me feel a bit queasy after I take them as they are so big!


I do have a scan booked for NYE and i'm getting more and more nervous! I have no reason to expect things wont be ok but I don't have massively strong symptoms. Apart from the feeling I'm having twins! I have no reason for this to be the case though!


Hugs to you all and welcome to all the newbies.

Hi everyone hope you dont mind me joining you. So I have 4 children already (5,11,13,15) all born by c-section. My last period started on 26th Nov and was normal ended around 2nd Dec which is when 'it happened'.......... I was due on my period again around 24th-26th December but no signs of it however have been really sick and dizzy and unbalanced when i stand up. Did a clear blue today and says pregnant 2-3 . We are very shocked but happy.

Can anyone tell me when I will be due, should I count from 26th Nov or the day my period ended?

I am worried though as i've had 4 c-sections already and the last pregnancy the c-section went terribly wrong (they punctured my spine as they couldn't do epidural properly and fluid leaked- terrible headaches and i had to spend an extra 2 weeks in hospital lying down) and I had spd from 5 months pregnant ...... so i'm dreading the pregnancy and its deffo the last one lol. 33 now and feel like an old mum haha

wangdoodle, I think it is perfectly normal to feel all sorts anxieties and nerves about having a baby.

We have been trying since Christmas 2011, and agreed some time ago we would stop at the end of 2013 and maybe look into adoption, so finding out I am pregnant on Boxing Day was a scary surprise. Sadly, we no longer get excited about a positive pregnancy test, and refer to me being pregnant, rather than us having a baby- but that's down to our own painful experiences over the last couple of years. I think it's a kind of emotional- damage- limitation. I know it will change as (everything crossed here) we get futher along the pregnancy, probably if we get to see a healthy 12 week scan. My OH turned 50 this year, although I am 31, and we really did feel that time was running out for us.

But, despite the fact this is a desperately longed for baby, I am still getting those flutters of I am not ready to be a mum, how am I going to cope etc. But I know it will be fine, and when it happens, I will absolutely rise to the challenge and love every minute of it.

As you will too. I blame the silly hormones for they way we are feeling!

Speaking of hormones, is any one else really ridiculously spotty?

I think its only natural to be scared, I've spent over a year worrying about what if it goes wrong again and now I'm starting to thing "oh my god what if things actually go right and we end up with an actual baby at the end of all this" its crazy I know but glad to hear I'm not alone.

Welcome new ladies nice to have you here!

Thankyou whoever recommended the asking the doctor for the laxative I think I'll ask the midwife when I see her but unfortunately I think I've tried the one you mentioned before and if its the one I'm thinking of its so overly sweet I couldn't stand it but I'm sure there'll be others!

Oh yes the spots any name, luckily not on my face but my chest and back are ridiculous yeuch

Hugs to all x

Any name, I have horrendous skin at the moment, hate it!

I also have some kindle weird insomnia where I'm shattered but just can't seem to settle and sleep, except for between 5-7pm when I need to be doing tea and putting kids to bed! Not to bad while oh is off but he normally doesn't get back from work till 9!

Hi, sorry arrived then disappeared!

I really don't want to offend anyone and I know there's some that have been trying to get pregnant for ages, but I'm just really struggling to get excited about this pregnancy.

My other 2 children were planned and I think this being a surprise has really knocked me. I also last time ended up in hospital 3 times with hyperemesis and then ended up on crutches from 21 weeks so I'm a bit worried about what the next few months have in store!

Just feeling really blah, needed a vent. I've booked a scan for next weekend to see if seeing this little bean will get me a bit more with it!

I tried for eight years and had numerous IVFs before I fell pregnant and even I had a few weeks feeling 'blah' about it. Hormones innit plus you're worried about whether you'll get ill. That's what I really struggled with - I was over the moon at the thought of being pregnant but the reality just made me feel really really ill. It settles though as I'm sure it will with you too.

Just like my post above - this will pass in time. I was exactly the same. In fact I had a few weeks where I suffered with panic attacks. Even though I'd wanted a baby for years I still had all these negative and frightening feelings. I found it quite difficult to talk about it because we'd been trying for so long and needed IVF - I felt really ungrateful. Even the GP rolled her eyes a little when I went to talk about my panic attacks and suggested I 'just try to enjoy things'. It all wore off after a while and I was able to enjoy my pregnancy. I firmly blame the hormones.
