Hi girls - I have not visited for a while due to one thing and another,

I am finding this pregnancy quite difficult. I have never really had bad luck or been an "unwell" type person....my mother has always said I was "born with a silver spoon in my mouth" (been lucky all my life) UNTIL NOW...................(1) I found out from my first blood test that I am Rhesus Negative, which paniced me at first but then I calmed down when I found out it is really no big deal. (2) From my downs blood test, I found out I am high risk but again calmed down a little when they told me the figure was actually 1 in 210 chance (high for my age: 30) (3) I am getting a bad headache everyday and have been for the last 3 weeks (this may be due to stress - I am going to docs tomorrow). I LOVE BEING PREGNANT but feel that so far luck hasn't been on my side! I am a panicy person so maybe other people are having the same stresses but aren't freaking out over them so much!

I just want to meet my little lodger - roll on APRIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love to you other ladies of little lodgers leaving in April.......

Hi Julia,

I've just PM'd you, before reading this post! I'm rhesus A negative too! that scared me a bit, my midwife said that only about 15% of people in the country are this, but then I found out that 3 people I know are as well so it doesn't seem to be that uncommon! I've already got my appointments for my injections through!

I'm not enjoying my pregnancy much at the mo. due to one thing and another, mainly the headaches. I was in tears yesterday & saying to my DH that i'm partly upset because for so long i've wanted to have a baby and wanted to know what being pregnant was like & thought it would be just so wonderful and joyous but in reality it's nothing like I thought it would be!

How's everyone else doing in there pregnancy? are you have a bad time of it as well as me & Julia. Ree are you still having problems? your pregnancy hasn't been a bed of roses either has it? i don't know, why can't these men take some of it on?it's not fair!!

Best go the screen makes my headache worse!

Take care, love 'n' hugs

Hi Girls,

Hope you don't mind me joining in but I'm feeling a little sorry for myself at the moment! Poor DH is wondering what's wrong.

I am, like everyone else, soooooooooooo excited about being pregnant, it's one of the best things that has ever happened to me, however........

Over the last few weeks, I have been soooooooooooooooooooooooo tired, I know that this is fairly normal but I felt great up until I was 12 weeks and then it seemed to go down hill.

I was very sick last week and have been sick a bit this week, I was only ever sick about 7 times in the whole 5-12 weeks. I count myself as lucky as so far I've been feeling great but this last few weeks has been a real struggle. I am lucky that I have managed to cut my working days to 3 days a week so I can't even say it's that - god knows what I'll be like in a few months.

I know so many other people go through so much worse but I feel so boring just now. Has anyone else gone through this?

Sorry to ramble on, it feels good to spit it all out!!

Thanks for reading.

Hope you are all keeping well.

Hi Leigh,

Sorry you're feeling rough hun
As you may know i've been feeling pretty poop for about 3 months now and i'm so fed up with it and keep crying. My doc has signed me off this week (until Mon.) again, and even though in a way it's nice to be at home, i'm so bored. The house is getting me down too, because i feel lousy so much of the time and my head is banging the last thing I want to do is get the hoover out or clean the windows, the house is in such a mess.

I have to say that this forum has been a life line, I think I would have gone mad by now.

I just keep telling myself it'll all be worth it when I see my baby but April seems so far away and I still don't feel pregnant yet, just fat and ugly!

I could go on for ages about how I feel at the mo. but I don't want to bore you rigid!!

Let us know how you are doing? Really hope you feel better soon.

hi girls,

Thanks for your encouraging replies!! As both of you have said, this forum is great, I can't believe how much it has helped.

My situation is much the same, sick again today and over the weekend, also now accompanied by headaches/migraines.

After speaking to a few friends yesterday, it seems they went through the headaches etc also at this stage, and said they only lasted a few weeks, hopefully that is the case. Nicky - I feel so sorry for you, here's me moaning after a couple of weeks and you have been going through it for months!!

Ree - You're so positive - keep it up, it's exactly what I'm needing!!

Most of the time, I just need a good kick up the arse and a stark reminder of what it felt like to be TTC - I visit the TTC pages in total sympathy for those currently TTC and remember how lucky I am.

Anyway I have my 16 week appointment tomorrow so i'll have a few questions for the midwife, I'll pass on any good advice I get!!

Hope you're all good and take care.

Hi Ree,

Thanks for your reply. Yeah the midwife went good, they checked the heartbeat etc and all was well.

In terms of my headaches, like you, she said I am probably dehydrated and just to try and drink plenty, which I thought I did but....who am I to argue.

So this weekend has been very relaxing and included loads and loads of fluids, even though it means I am never away from the loo!!

I must say though, fingers crossed as I am feeling a bit better and haven't been sick since Thursday!

Hope your sickness has eased too.

Hope the ultrasound went well, let us know how you got on.

Awww Ree, that's great news. I really want to have a daughter. I actually managed to convince my hubby to find out the sex when I go for the next scan - yippeeeeee!!! I'm glad everyhting went well for you, it's such a relief to know the baby is fine isn't it?

Leigh Sless, hope you're ok too. As you may know i've suffered a hell of a lot with headaches and they are finally dying down, woohoo! , after ruling out quite a few possibilites the doc. thought it might be a trapped nerve so have been to see the osteopath now and it's actually helping, can't believe it. Maybe you should get check out too, just incase.
She also tol;d me to go swimming and do yoga coz that's really good for the baby. I went swimming yesterday for the first time in years and OMG it nearly killed me!!

How is everyone else doing?

Hi Girls,

Hope everyone is well.

Nicki, thanks for the advice on the headaches I'll maybe give the osteopath a go, the headaches have died a good bit so fingers crossed I am now in the "blooming" stage. I must admit I have been feeling a lot better over the last week or so, so much so, I have been getting bored of staying in and am ready to socialise again so something must be right!

I have my 21 week scan in 3 weeks which I am looking forward to, I am still awaiting some blood test results from 2 weeks ago!! Has anyone else's taken this long, I have the blood group one back and the rubella one but that's it, the rest are still to come.

Anyway, I best get back to it, take care all and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Ree,

Glad you are feeling better too, hopefully we're all getting to the "blooming" stage.

McKayla Faith is lovely, very unusual.

I'm going to phone the Docs again, everything so far is normal and like you say if there was anything wrong, they would phone me, no news is good news- right?!

Happy Holidays! I've been in the US during thanksgiving before and it was great, I wish we had something similar although it's not long till Xmas!!
