May 2017 Mummies *NEW*

[Dovekie]

Well I survived! I'm knackered now though! Everyone pointed at my belly lol. My scan is ages away like 2 weeks!! I do hope all is OK on there. Congrats lisey x x x and I hope there's lots more good news to follow with you other girlies

I haven't got a date yet. I'll be one of the last in our group I suppose (due 29th). Did you opt for the Down's syndrome scan?

 

[Eryinera]

Yea I did. I'm kinda worried as I had very high hcg which could be an indicator. But then I had very high hcg with my son and he's not got it. He's daft as a brush but that's a different thing lol

 

[Eryinera]

P.s. I never got whats so daft about brushes anyways!

 

[nikkix86]

I chose to have it at my scan as well think I'd rather be prepared

Try not to worry. Your hcg was within the normal limits xx

How are all the lovely May Mummies?

I had a call from work today, just to see how I am and to ask if I feel I would be better after half term. They are not putting any pressure on me at all, they have actually said that it is better if I don't go back if not feeling well as if I go back and then need to be signed off again, they will have to pay insurance again. I don't really understand all that but basically it will not be great for them if I go back and then need time again.
I wanted to go and see how I would be, I am not totally confident that I will be ok. I still feel very sick (still sick sometimes) and get very dizzy. I popped to the local shop today, literally 5 minutes and felt awful. As a result, I feel even more sick now! I don't know what to do. I want to go back to work and get back to normal but I can't guarantee I will be ok, I don't want to put them out at all, financially. They are super supportive and not making me feel guilty at all but I just don't know? xx

Hun, if you can't pop to the shop for 5 minutes, how do you think you'll manage a day at work?

If you're not well, stay home and go back when you're better and able to function!

I know, realistically, I know this but I am trying to convince myself that I will be ok
I am a little concerned that I could feel like this for a long time yet xx

 

[Emily0505]

Hyperemesis is serious hun. If you need the next three months off then have it off! I know you'll feel bad letting down work but it's important that you look after yourself and that you look after baby too. You can't help feeling so poorly hun and it's not like you're faking it is it?!

[lisey]

I know. Thanks Emily xx

 

[Emily0505]

I feel so bad for you girls who have suffered so much with sickness. I can't imagine feeling so sick all the time. Really hope you feel better soon.

[lisey]

Thanks so much. I hope so too xx

I had my 12 week scan today, everything is looking good, all my results seem ok (had a combined test - waiting for official letter to say the risk but the didn't think anything was alarming in what results the could see today), and they said my EDD is 29th April (not 4th May), so looks like I might be a April mummy!

Was amazing seeing the scan though, it's made us so excited

Hope you're all doing ok

 

[Eryinera]

If I didn't have my odansetron there is no way I would be back in work. Nearly threw up today and had to sit down loads. And yours is worse than mine hun! I had a woman today say "poo not much longer for you when are you due?" I saI'd "may" she said "bit that's ages away!" I was like tell me about it! Lol. I have an extra member of staff alongside me to support me too.

 

[Eryinera]

Good to hear!

 

[lisey]

I don't think I have a choice really but to take more time xx

 

[Eryinera]

I must say though I was awful popping to the shop then I went out a bit more (my shop is over the road) then I had to go out after the cat thing and I started to feel better after having been out for ages. but still at work I get so many aches and pains. I've got pgp right now

 

[Pebbles05]

Good news on your scan kayell! I'm due 1st May, so about the same time as you.

I asked for the Downs, Edward's, pataus screening at my scan and just got the results - very low risk


I'm off on holiday for a week so I'll be out of touch, but best of luck for all your scans coming up next week x

 

[lisey]

Great news about scan
Ery, that must be painful. Not nice on top of everything else xx

 

[kabuk1]

Great news about scans. So for the combined test, do you have to wait on results? After speaking to the mw when I got my combined bloods done, I was given the impression that I would be told at the scan because they'd have my blood results and then take the measurement at the scan and let me know the risks. Is that the case or will I have to wait for the results?

Lisey, it really sucks that you're still so sick. It sounds like more time off is best. I couldn't even imagine attempting to go into work feeling as you do. I've had to take a couple days of here and there over this term because I knew it was best. I just could've function properly, which meant that my patience was non-existent. Since I teach challenging kids who've been kicked out of their schools and PRUs, it really wasn't wise. Everyone's been so supportive. I'm lucky that our afternoons consists of sessions run by outside organisations because I'm dead by 2. I really hope you start to feel better soon so you can get as back to normal as possible. It's never fun being restricted to home.
