Had my 12 week scan today but only measuring 11 weeks. So back next week as I was 1mm out of being able to have the tri tests done! X

 

[firstfreakout]

Wow, keeptrying! Beautiful scan
So early! mine isn't until Thursday where LMP will put me at 12+1..

How's everyone getting on?

Iv had a phone call today... Iv got gestational diabetes... Already.... I'm only 10w1d
Iv never had it before and I'm so so scared.
I go on holiday on Sunday and they wanted to see me ASAP but due to me being on holiday I have to go to hospital on 30th October to a diabetes clinic, then they have moved my 12 week scan to the 1st November so I can see diabetic team too.

I'm scared for my tiny little baby... I know it can be managed but I also know sometimes is just isn't,

Thanks first freak out. It’s coz I have long cycles so my lmp was 22nd July so it put me at 12 weeks but I knew it was earlier. Just annoying I got to wait another week to do the scan but I get to see baby again! Oh no Linx that’s so early did they say much about it? And how common it is this early? Xx

I didn't even know they could test for it so soon! But at least you know so you can do what you can with it and you will be under the right care with the diabetes clinic.

I was tested sarky due to high sugar on my booking in app.
I had high sugar output in urine in both pregnancies but never GD.
Iv got to see diabetes clinic on 30th October. (would be sooner but I'm away in Egypt from Sunday until 29th)
My scan has been moved to the 1st Nov and I have to see diabetic team there.
Im gutted, scared and I don't even want to think about what this actually means for my poor little innocent baby.
All because I'm fat and can't keep my hands off the sweets!
( I know it's not just this but it's how I feel atm) so much guilt it's unreal!
Iv been crying All day X

Hope everyone else is having more luck than me xx

No don't feel bad, you will do what you need to do now. I have a very high BMI so I expect this to be an issue for me too but due to not even being able to get a booking appointment at the moment I'll probably be tested as normal at the usual time. So it's amazing you know so early and you can control it all. Think of that as a positive!

Loads of love xxx

Hey lovely how come ur signed off? Hope ur ok xx

When i went upto a&e because of my anaphylactic shock the Consultant also saw how dehydrated i was because of the morning sickness so after being on a drip to rehydrate me they said i need to rest and gave me the sick note.
I have been struggling at work and was sent home 3 times last week.

 

[keeptrying14]

Omg aurora I didnt realise I am sorry. I am glad they are looking after you and you can put your feet up sort of! How is the sickness now and how r the boys? x

 

[firstfreakout]

Aurora, glad you've got some chance to rest. I hope you're feeling better after the anaphylaxis! Sounds like a horribly inconvenient thing to happen right now!

Linx - sorry to hear you've got GD so soon this pregnancy. It's really nothing you've done, although I can empathise with that feeling. I'm sure your midwife or doctor will put your mind at ease about it all if you talk to them, and once you have a bit of an action plan on how to manage it you might feel a bit more confident going forward.

My 12 week scan is Thursday afternoon and I'm super worried. I haven't been able to find a heartbeat with our doppler at home yet so I'm now convinced the baby has just packed up and left I'm definitely showing already though, it's insane.
I'll probably be dated back a few days at the scan, as I know I ovulated 2 days late and my early scan at 6 weeks was 2 days behind the LMP... just hoping it's not too far out and everything's progressing as it should.

Sorry to hear about the GD linx, but at least it’s been picked up early and you can be closely monitored. Glad you’ve got some time off Aurora, sounds like you’ve been having a tough time!

I had my booking appt yesterday, the midwife said I am low risk and has requested my scan, the student midwife butchered my arm trying to do my blood test, and I actually have such good veins! My arm has been aching since yesterday!!
The nausea is still going very strong, actually has turned into vomiting this last week, it’s getting worse as oppose to better
Really hope it ends soon, I barely ate anything yesterday!

 

[Piglet30]

Bleugh, I still feel sicky but managing ok. Just a feeling rather than actually vomiting. Jealous of your scan tomorrow freakout. Mine seems ages away, I had my booking yesterday and the scan date should come in the post in next 10 days. Got to pop up to get my bloods done Friday. Wish me luck and NOT a first timer stabby person!

 

[Aurora_J]

I still haven't booked a midwife appointment yet really need to get that done.
Been so sick the last few days can't keep anything down. My stomach is so sore from throwing up all the time.

How are the sickness meds working Hun? My tummy is constantly sore from all the vomiting it’s really getting me down dr gave me omeprazole which helped a bit maybe worth asking to try them? X

 

[Aurora_J]

They didn't work at all for me. I going to go back and ask for something else as I can't keep anything down.

You need to go back and ask for something stronger. What did they give you before? Cyclizine is the least powerful then a step up is metrocloprimde and then the best is ondanstron but they don’t like prescribing as it’s expensive. Take a wee sample down and if they say you don’t have ketones say you feel weak and dizzy as that is first signs of dehydration before ketones appear in your wee. Also If you need extra support contact pregnancy sickness support they are amazing and really help. Always here if you need a chat ive been through it 3 times now so I know how bad it can be. Keep thinking of you don’t feel bad about asking for help xx

 

[firstfreakout]

Sorry to hear some of you are still struggling with sickness I hope it eases soon, or you at least get the right meds to make it bearable.

I had my scan today. Baby is measuring ahead so I am 12+6 today, putting my EDD at 26 April! I would love to stay in this group though if that's okay?

I have a small bleed above my cervix which I'm worried about, but they didn't seem fussed; just said I may spot or it might reabsorb and disappear. They also couldn't tell me anything about my placenta and that it'll be checked at the next scan. Other than that, baby has the right amount of limbs and everything looks good anatomically, and my risk of Down's is about 1:16600 so very low!

Next scan is 20th December and we find out if it's a boy or girl, but feel free to venture a guess!

Photo for you guys!
