Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi sann, Sounds like you are doing well. The stuffy nose thing is very common with preg. women and could last till the end, lets hope not though. The thirsty thing....do you have any sugar issues? I have had gestational diabetes before and that was a symptom, but not at 13 weeks, more like 26 weeks. Good luck today ast your scan and appointment. I'm on cd25 today, no symptoms, just normal. Not even tired anymore. I am not testing till cd32. hard to say, I have given up guessing, I am or I'm not and only time will tell me when to test. This is my most "desireful" month. This is the month I have wanted this the most. So I hope it all doesn't come crashing down, BUT just like every other month, chin up and try again. Hope everyone else is well this a.m ttyl

Hello all! As usual - not much to report here. Not many symptoms really to speak of - still peeing every couple of hours during the night (sleeping slightly better on occasion - last night I had to eat half a banana in order to settle my stomach!!! - it worked though!!) and getting a "tired" lower back when I'm on my feet for too long. Also seem to be getting overly emotional about things (cried when I couldn't find a pair of shoes I liked in the shop!!!!!!!! RIDICULOUS!! lol!!) and sometimes cannot seem to get warm! Other than that all is well. Sann - re. feeling "different" - I'm not really sure if the above const_tutes different. I suppose it does - but with regards feeling pregnant - I have no idea what that's supposed to feel like so who knows !!! LOL!!! I too haven't started shopping yet - to be honest I'm still a little nervous to make that commitment. I really want to get into my 2nd Tri before I start buying maternity stuff. I know it's probably silly but I'm only a few days past the point of my last pregnancy and I just want to feel more confident about everything. Hopefully on Monday (at the NT scan) we'll see the bean in all his or her glory and providing all is well then I can relax a bit more. The NT scan is in the nearest city to me so the plan is to go shopping (firstly for a new food processor as my current one - which is too small for the job it will soon be expected to do!! - is about to give up the ghost!!LOL!) and perhaps we'll take a sneaky peak at some baby stuff. I think I'm going to have to buy some clothes regardless as I just don't seem to have anything comfortable that I like and also it's beginning to get quite cold here so I have to think about Winter gear that will fit me later on. I'll start with some "large" sizes first and then look at the real maternity stuff in a couple of weeks. That way I've covered all of my bases. Tracy - I had to laugh about your eating/cooking habits at the moment. I can totally relate as I can't bring myself to cook much at all at the moment. However, I seem to be able to throw a pasta dish together OK so that seems to be my staple diet at the moment!! KD - sorry to hear about your long AF. Bummer!! Let's hope that Sann's physician is right about it clearing your body out in preparation. As lovemy3 says - chin up and try again! We're all behind you all the way! lovemy3 - of course, we're behind you too and your time is coming fairly soon. I so want you to have good news this month. It would be great to have you and KD on the same journey as us!! Big Hugs to all - hope to hear from Col and everyone soon!

Have any of you had any bright red spotting and still gone on to have the pg be ok? I woke up at 4am to pee, and had spotting. It faded to brown after an hour and is gone now. Didn't have any cramping. And I did strain during a bm (sorry if tmi) last night, so could that have caused something to bleed? I'm really worried. I have an appt in about 2.5 hours with the OB (it was already scheduled) and I'm trying not to panic. I think dh is going to go with me... I don't want to go alone if there is bad news.

Hopeful... glad to hear you are well. I'm sure your scan coming up will be good and you will get even more rea__surance. Time is ticking on for you all...very exciting. All is well here. This a.m at a womens group study at church we spoke about perserverance, and about faithfulness. It was really good and how we don't have control over open or closed doors. So really why do we worry? I guess cause we are human and that is our tendenacy. Thats its for me...my insight of the day-lololol. Anyhow, hope you are all having a fabulous day...chin up and keep on moving on XOXO

Hi there Val. So sorry to hear about your spotting. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about - perhaps it was from straining as you say. A tip for you - I always have a little box in front of the toilet to put my feet on to stop me from straining. That way, what needs to come out comes out naturally if you know what I mean (LOL!!) and the box sort of "a__sists" the whole process if you like!! Sorry if that's all tmi but it does really help!! Let us know what the OB says whenever you have time.

Hello ladies, oh my god, I am missing on a lot here. I was so busy at work and home and with the family. By the time I come home, I am so tired I can’t do anything. Lovemy3, sorry about the reaction of your mom, but I agree with all the ladies who said, mothers never see us as mature people and can make rational decisions, we will sty kids no matter what, just ignore that and give her the love that you have in your heart. And good luck this month, I really hope you get your news soon. Tracy, I am glad you are feeling much better now, and we got to hear from you more often. Sann, try not to work hard, don’t stress about work, keep your focus on you baby more than anything else, and keep us posted. KD, I am with Sann on what her doctor said about the body is cleaning itself; this is what mine told me once. Good luck this cycle, hope this month is yours and Lovemy3. Hopeful, good luck with your NT this Monday, I am sure things will be fine this time, and you will come with good news. As for buying baby stuff, I did not start that yet, although I see things that so cute, but I am still scared, and trying to take it easy until I reach my 2nd trimester, and get some kind of comfort. Hopeful, I think I have the same issue sleeping like you, I do not sleep at all at night, and that’s making me so tired all day, someone told me to drink milk before going to bed, but I hate milk lool, I will try tonight. I have been taking days of from work so I can relax and take care of myself, they are so supportive at work. I don’t think I have anything to report other than I am 8.4 weeks today, praying for god to take care of me and my baby. Val, I had that brown spotting before, and its nothing to worry about, it must be an old blood coming out, please update us about your doctor visit. TTYL all ladies.

Val...We must have posted at the same time and I didn't see your post at the same time as mine. I have had that before as well. It was brown when it came out. I have had brighter blood after i ntercourse while pregnant though. Pls let us know how your appt goes. Col..s ounds like you are well, glad to her from you and thanks for your encouragement.

Hey ladies, I had a typo in my previous post, I am in my 7.4 week, it was wishful thinking there : ) : ) : ) : ).

Val, please let us know what the doc says about the spotting. I hope everything is ok. I know how much this pregnancy means to you.

hi ladies...thanks for the rea__surances! The OB checked my cervix and didn't see any bleeding so they did an u/s - baby was still there (much bigger than last time) and the hb was 180! Pretty exciting. I'm still not quite over being spooked, but it sounds like it's fairly common. She said to take it easy the next couple of days - no s_x or heavy lifting. Poor dh - he may not get any s_x until the 2nd trimester the way this is going! They also gave me a vitamin B shot for the nausea so I'm hoping that kicks in tomorrow. I can get the shots weekly if it helps. Gotta go put groceries away and put my feet up...

Thats good news Val, take it easy. No groceries!lollol. Put your feet up and relax for the weekend. It must have been nice to see how your baby has grown. How sweet! Not much is going on here with me. CD26 and still waiting it out. Feel the same, nothing to report. I'll for sure let you know anything new. ttyl

Good Morning All, Val, so glad your scare turned out to be OK. With my 1st pregnancy, DH & I decided to skip the nookie after bleeding occured in 1st trim. I was told it was OK, but we were both scared too much to do it again. But that was just us, I think I was a bit paranoid! But after having DS we were too exhausted/sore to have nookie for a while anyhow, so it was good practice for going so long w/o!!lol Sann& Col, thnx for your info on my extended AF. I'd like to think your Dr. is right. It makes me more optimistic. Hopeful, good luck w/ the NT scan. I really hope it eases your mind. I can't wait for you ladies to be finished w/ all of the testing, so you can relax a bit & watch your bellies grow! Lovemy3, when is AF due? Are you planning on testing early since you O'd possible early? I'm getting excited for you. ttyl

Val, that'a great news. Music to our ears! Well, I have no idea what happened to me last night, but none of my dinner, or anything I ate thereafter, digested so about 10:30 it all started coming up and didn't stop until about 1:00 am. My throat hurts so bad and it feels like something is stuck in there although I know there's not. I couldn't take my progesterone because I didn't know when it was all going to stop, and I couldn't put my suppository in because all the barfing would have squeezed it right out! What a rough one!!!! Glad to hear all is well with everyone else.

Oh Tracy, how horrible!!! That sounds so bad. I truly hope that you will feel better soon. Take care.

hi all...LM3, I have my fingers crossed for you! KD, glad I'm not the only one who skipped nookie during the 1st tri. Maybe I'll get my courage up (and my horniness back!) in another couple of weeks. HOPEFUL - thanks for that "tip" from the other day - I think it's a good one! ;-) TRACY, sorry about the puking ... that must have been horrible. 3 hours? Your poor throat! Do you use mouthwash? I've found that sometimes helps curb things. Had a lovely little episode myself this morning... it's so fun puking on an empty stomach! Not sure if these vitamin shots are going to help at all. And not sure that the bagel 'm eating right now will stay down. I had a breakdown last night after dh mixed the pasta that I liked eating with the soup that I couldn't eat. I was so happy to have found something to eat, and then he mixed the two! After I found out, I bawled on the couch for 5 minutes. Bit of an overreaction! Poor guy... he meant well, and was just trying to put the dinner dishes away! I had a little bit more spotting yesterday afternoon, but so far it's all clear today. I'm going to try to lay on the couch as much as possible. Unfortunately, we're having a work party here tomorrow with like 30 people coming! DH has been really great cleaning up the house, and a friend is coming over in the morning to help make burgers and do any other last minute things around the house, but I probably have to make cookies and hummus today. Hopefully whatever I have to do won't take more than a couple of hours though, and I can do some of it sitting down. Not sure that I'll be a very good hostess tomorrow. Luckily, our parties are pretty casual, and several of my friends know I'm pg so I'm sure they'll help out. (Folks are coming around 12-1 to help build a barn, and then staying into the evening for bbq/potluck/campfire/music.) Ok, I'll stop rambing on about my stuff... thanks for putting up with me!

Val, I wish I lived near you. You just sound like my kind of gal. S_x? What is that? My poor husband hasn't had any and isn't going to get any either. I am so afraid to have s_x. The funny thing is we got PG by him doing his thing in a cup two days in a row, so we haven't even had s_x since before the month we TTC. Wow, poor guy! Thanks for all of your sweet comments on my "sickness" last night. I'm holding stuff down, so I think it was just that what I ate was too much for my stomach right now to handle. Just woke up from my afternoon nap, so got to eat something. Very hungry!
