Pregnancy Info HOME

hi tiffany...well yes my cramps lasted for over a week....i really thought this was going to be a nightmare of a pregnancy. if it were to be viable pregnancy....but since this tuesday i have been better...i still have nausea and mild ms if i eat too great a meal but the thing thats most difficult is that i have extreme fatigue....i am just totally exhausted have huge mood swings and get 'angry' very very quickly..if it were up to me i just want to lie on my bum all day and do 'nothing'!!!lol...so far that is almost possible as my mum is around (what a blessing and at such a great time) and hence i can actually just sit back and relax while she looks after both my sons and ME!!!!!! i have no idea how i will cope when she leaves on tuesday and i think, its thinking about that is making me quite depressed!!!!! about your situation....if your not bleeding, have no cramps strange one esp and feel genrally 'normal'... i really wouldn't worry...but then the best rea__surance is to have acheck up...since the heartbeat of the embryo doesn't really start up until week 6 or more...doppler will be useless..so i suggest if you are really worried to ask for an early scan.....did you have one yet? do you know if you are having more than one? i am certain i have only one..as at 6 weeks that all we saw....there is still that little hope for miracle now and again that they will find another baby later...as i am already showing as if i am 5 months and this pregnancy is greatly different to my others....plus there was always that other sac...lol...but really my main focus is to get through these 3 months....am always wiping myself after the loo with the fear that i might find some spotting or bleeding!!!if you have any you MUST get it checked not just to ease your mind, but if things are god forbid not going as planned, one can deal with it straight away and then move on..i mean i'd rather know now then later if i were to loose my baby!so do get it checked if your really worried....!!! i have been just sleeping and slouching too tired to argue with people on here as they will never want to understand us anyway...and to be honest quite bored of it....hence i just pop in now and again and read some interesting posts and then carry on with my other hobbys!!!lol i wish everyone here a properous new year and lots and lots of baby dust and prayers in your ttc, and pregnancyies....tiffany i am sure you will be alright!!!!hope to hear from you soon..let us know if you get yourself checked!

My doctor recommended B6 & unisom and it worked very well for me from week 6 of my pregnancy up to week 17. There are other "heavier" meds they can give, but that worried me to much. That combo was a lifesaver for me and my trio was not effected - in fact.. maybe that is why they were almost 5 lbs at 32 weeksLOL

tripletmom, that could be why since you probably weren't stressing too much. I was actually the sickest with my first pregnancy (singleton). The weirdest thing I had with my twin pregnancy was a bloody nose. I had never had one in my life and out of nowhere, blood was streaming out of my nose. Oh, that a complete loss of bladder control. Thank God I got that back! If I sneezed or coughed, I peed and not just a little. Gross.

Hi ladies........No I have not had any spotting since last week. I'm a__suming it was just a deeper implantation. It was always just a very very faint pink and brown.....I will go to the dr next week to get a scan. I would be very surprised if there were more than one because, I got pg natural.....I think it is kind of wierd that both of us got food poisioning at an early stage of pg...... And, I remember you saying that your symptoms were coming and going too.....I also chickened out about the unisom part and only took the b6.....I am starting to feel a tiny bit quesey again so, I bet it is just coming and going....I had a beta at 15dpo and it was 140.9 so that was good.....I also feel really crabby...I am snapping at everyone in my house.......They all just stare at me....I hope I get back to myself soon!! I don't have it in me to argue anymore either....I am busy worring about my little bean......Oh, and I did take those "heavier meds" during my last pg and they did NOTHING. I still had to go to the hospital for i.v's....I think it would be cool if the b6 is working! That would be a blessing!!!I want to thank you triplet mom and onetwo three for being kind to me....That is very sweet and I appreciate it.....Please know that I never ment to attack you about your babies, I was infuriated with someone else and was trying to make a point that premies can come about even naturally or with p. clomid....I have two daughters that were premies born at 34 weeks so, I have spent my fair share in the nicu.....You get my drift.....Thank-you! :)

Tiffany - I would never wish anything but positive things for you and your soon to be little bundle of joy. Take care of yourself and keep in tune w/your body - any questions dont hesitate to ask your Dr. - that is what he/she gets paid for!!!

Tiffany, I would also never wish you or your little one anything but the best. Heck, the debates are just that. This is real life and that is a different tune completely.

Yas2000, are you pg with multiples? How far along are you????????? CONGRATS!!!!!!!! CLOMID WORKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yas is not pregnant with multiples nor did she have any fertility issues what so ever. She was only taking u/p clomid to try and achieve a twin pregnancy which was unsuccessful but now she is happy with her singleton.

thanks onetwothree, yes your right...with all you said.... well let me update you about whats happened so far... i am 11 weeks tommorrow and have been spotting on and off until now for 3 weeks ...even though i have had it confirmed that i have and eroded cervix so nothing to do with baby or pregnancy...i still cannot really bond completely with my baby as all sorts of worries pa__s through my head everytime i see blood on tissue...am i going to loose this baby now or in the second trimester, is this baby even normal becasue of all this spotting, if it isn't i'd rather loose it now than later or even before i give birth to it, all sorts of negative and horrible things.. i am now waiting for my 12 weeks scan and feel that until i have been told the baby is normal in everyway so far and still exist as such i am only partially excited about my pregnancy... i mean last night i woke up with a cramp the kind you get if you pulled a muscle and i had it on the right side...really sharp...and had to hold my breath...then this morning i went to the loo and again some spotting (it had ceased for the last couple of days or so) so i knew it was due to that cramp... my doc said i will have to a__sume i will have spotting throughout my pregnancy everytime anything irritakes my cervix or uterous...so there goes...not very helpful....always need to worry whether i am coming or going with the pregnancy!!!!but thats life...am positive most times...my belly b___ton has started to stick out and flutters are getting quite regular....been quite stressed due to my friends problems...but things seem to be resolving slightly and i can relax a bit more...apart from that i am knitting away finished a baby blancket, and booties for my little one...and trying to be positive despite all of that is happening....i lost my last baby due to spotting...and i know that after that last mc..i have had problems with my cervix for a while even when i was on the pill i was supposed to see a specialist but got pregnant...now..i a__sume that my last mc...and this eroded cervix problem has something to do with my cervical health prior to this pregnancy...after this baby arrives will get myself thoroughly checked out....wishing everyone else good luck!!!oh and i think although i took clomid..it may have a__sisted me slightly in getting pregnant quicker but since i never felt any side effect etc...i believe it didnt do much more than that...so in my case it probably was useless...lol!!!i would have gotten pregnant sooner or later without it...so for those of you who think clomid really does do wonders...esp with people who do ovulate....take my example...it doesnt really!!!!

Yas - hopefully to rea__sure you a little on the spotting - I spotted almost my entire pregnancy w/my oldest girl and then for about 16 weeks w/my triplets. The spotting doesn't cause the miscarriage it is just indicative of some sort of internal bleeding. I remember being worried the entire time also, so all you can do is pray that everything is ok. As far as the clomid, it doesn't work for everyone is right (why sometimes women move to IVF). However, you are pregnant and this is good!!!

Yas, you say you have an eroded cervix. Would that make the cervix weak in anyway? Would you have to have a cerclage or have multiple u/s to measure the length and thickness?

hi, no i haven't been told anything like that...gosh...i hope not...lol... i am not sure..the thing is i have been going to the emergency gyno departments for these check ups and am still waiting to see my community midwife and appointed gyno specialist..those at the ward are junior docs and not specialists...so once i get my midwife antenatal appointment i will obviously bring this up....and hopefully will be referred to the OB...then i will also have my scan and will take it from there..will keep all of you updated... onetwothree... can you tell me more about the things you mentioned and why you mentioned them... basically i have been told that there could be 6-7 possible reasons for my eroded cervix... 1. simply my/ this particular pregnancy and hormones related to it have causesd my lining to overgrow and hence grow out of my cervix...(most probable) 2. this could be due to the pill...which i took prior...as it containes high levels of progestrone...(i stopped taking it 3 months prior to this pregnancy) 3. the very rough internal exam i had (if you remember) few weeks ago when i went into ER for my foood poisening (quite possible) 4. due to the problems probably related prior to my pregnancy (maybe) 5. low lying placenta...but this could be too early for that...(very unlikely but yet still possible) 6. my 4 early transv____al scans..but highly unlikely yet possible.. what is not the cause is the clomid as i mentioned it to the docs already and have been told that clomid needs to be taken for quite awhile for the thinning of the lining...and if it were so i would have cramps with these bleed...so very unlikely...(phew) but then only god knows...i will let you guys know....i hope everyone else is doing great.....baby dust and best wishes to all....
