***June 2018 Mums***

[Princesssaxy]

Might need to take more vitamins, I'm really struggling with my gums at the moment. Had an ulcer last week which sent me into a panic attack as I googled stuff (idiot!) so went to emergency dentist as I don't have one (too scared and stupid) and last night I noticed really swollen gums and one had gone a bit purple (panic mode), off to get some mouthwash today and hope it's not too serious. I read that vitamin A and C help with immune system so clearly I need something!

Congratulations on everyone’s BFP’s!!!
Anyone else started with the dreaded sickness? I cant call mine morning sickness because I have it through the day!! I’ve had an ache in my left side too like I’ve pulled my groin and everything I’ve read says it’s ok just might be my body getting ready. I have my 8 week scan on the 27th... I’m super nervous!!!

Hi everyone, can I join?
I found out 2 weeks ago that we are expecting no2 but, didn't even want to mention it incase I jinxed it! Been a rocky start so far as I started bleeding red blood on Tuesday and thought I had lost it. I went for a scan yesterday and my little bean is still there and saw the heart beating . Fx for no more bleeding! I'm due on the 9th June and 6 weeks today xx

Hi there,
As you probably know pregnancy can effect your dental health. I’m a dental professional and we recommend that you carry on with brushing at least 2 times per day for at least 2 minutes at a time and definitely trying to floss (or clean with interdental brushes) your gums at least once a day. Mouthwashes for gum problems can help but they can also stain teeth if over used and I would only use one recommended by a professional. It’s the hormones that are causing your gums to be inflamed and it means you are more susceptible to the bacteria in plaque which also causes the inflammation and bleeding. I would also recommend trying to get register with a Dentist (don’t forget we deal with phobia everyday) and its free on the NHS now and until your baby is a year old- you just have to get a certificate from your midwife.
Hope you don’t mind me commenting xx

Thanks! I've rang quite a few dentists and they're not taking NHS patients right now, going to keep trying this week . One part of my gum near one tooth is quite purple, looks a bit like a blood vessel that's burst but it's not nice to look at. Have got mouthwash and different toothpaste and toothbrush, hopefully it'll get better, if not it's my own fault. Already brushed 3 times today...!

I hope you manage to find one 😀 I know it sounds silly but try not to scrub to hard either and try flossing if you don’t like the floss (I don’t!) you can get the interdental brushes from Boots etc. They will get in between your teeth to remove the debris (plaque and even tiny bits of food) where your brush can’t get too and the mouth wash just won’t remove. 😀

Purpleness seems to have died down a bit or maybe that's just wishful thinking! Got really bad nausea this morning, itchy lady bits, shattered even though I've had lots of sleep - feel like every pregnancy symptom is happening this weekend just to annoy me!! Oh and I've cried for no real reason!

Think husband is getting a bit sick of me haha!

Congrats!! Sorry I mised your post in my moaning!

Discussed possibly getting a private early scan today with husband. He's not fussed and said it's up to me and to do it if it'll put my mind at rest, but I don't think anything will! Looking at just over a week's time when I'll be on half term and should be just over 8 weeks..hm

 

[LucyC]

8 weeks is a good time to do it, I think I'm going to book one for 9 weeks, I think even if everything's ok I'll still worry until the 12 week scan but I just don't think I can wait until the 12 week scan lol

Ditto! I found out so early that time is passing so slowly. Husband says it's going really quickly but he did say that he's not the one feeling bloody awful! I'll be panicking throughly my pregnancy but if the scan shows a heartbeat then maybe it will give me a day of peace!

Ye, I think it's harder for us girls as we are the ones experiencing and then over analysing all the symptoms. It'll be peace of mind for you atleast just to know everything's great up until that point and not so long to wait then until your 12 week scan.

Currently having a bit of a melt down...haven’t had any pregnancy symptoms today. No sign of bleeding (touch wood) but I’m just panicking! Anyone else had this?

Had it the other day and then they came back. See how you are tomorrow and if no blood by no symptoms you could call epu? Someone told me they can come and go this early so only to worry if there's blood and severe stomach pains, but if you don't have any symptoms for a few days I know I'd freak out so just ring ?

Ahh I’m 5 exactly! I’ve had nausea on and off but not actually been sick, been mega bloated and my boobs have killed but that all seems to have gone today. I’ve done like 1000 tests so I’m pretty certain I’m just so paranoid of a MC!
