[lea554]

My due date at the mo is 4th October but my daughter was 4 weeks early - I reckon his could be a September one but will defo be staying in October mummies lol! X

My due date is middle of October at the moment. Started eating normally again now, sickness has gone away only had it for 4-5 days. My chin has gone crazy this week! I never get spots and I look like I have acne on my chin now! I've also got spots all over the top of my back and near my collar bone. Hope it all goes away before the summer! Anyone else got this?

 

[Allysa151]

Hey mummies

Yep will be good to update all of us when we move to trim 2. My dd is 10 th Oct at the moment but you never know.Yesteday I saw an ex collegue she has two girls now, one was born at 36 wks and the 2nd at 37 wks.

Ladybugs, not many spots so far, I have some on my back but this is not something new , I usually get them in winter when body is all covered.

My boobs went back to their initial form! They are not sore or swollen anymore, should I be worried? Slight nausea and cramps still present.

Can t wait for my appt tomorrow. There is couple of us having it tomorrow. Hope evrything will go well

Morning all,

Hope you're all feeling OK today. I felt pretty nauseous yesterday afternoon so spent it on the sofa watching trash TV. I feel OK at the mo but haven't ventured out of bed yet.
On the whole spots thing the top of my chest has been quite bad, difficult for choosing tops, but is going now. I also suffer from coldsores when rundown so have been dreading them. I've been getting some little cuts at the corner of my mouth but fortunately nothing worse, at the moment.

I'm down as being due on the 4th however I expect that to go back a bit once I've had the scan. To be honest some times I don't feel pregnant at all. It seems really odd that while I've seen a doc and had my booking in appt no one has tested me yet! But then I suppose a lack of period since end of DEC and a lot of positive tests means they believe me!

I wish my husband was home so I could share all these thoughts with him. In his absence you lot will have to deal with it. Thanks!

 

[Allysa151]

AmyThomas, you have more reasons to think you're pregnant than that you are not ! I felt the same, that isn't real, that's why I had my early scan to confirm , to know that is something in there.
Is your husband away for a long time? Try to speak to him on the phone at least so you don t have to take everything on you.

I am feeling a bit frightened today...

 

[AmyThomas]

Allysa, thank you for the response. Sometimes if difficult to go with your own common sense!
He's on a 6 month deployment and I found out I was pregnant the day after he went, typical! But we can talk regularly, so that's good.

What are you feeling frightened about? The appt tomorrow? I am sure everything will be ok, a lot of positive thoughts all round (as well as fighting the waves of nausea!)

 

[hellandglory]

Hi again, glad everyone is doing okay - minus the nausea!
I had my scan yesterday, which showed a sac which had grown the right amount compared to just over a week ago, but i'm still bleeding and passing clots so am extremely worried and anxious 24/7. I've got another scan on Tuesday in which they're hoping to see a wee heart beat.

I guess its just fingers crossed and hoping for a sticky baby

I am thinking all the time that I might go for the 12 week scan and see no hearbeart. I know it sounds crazy, I should keep these thoughts away and be a bit more positive, better for me and for the baby.
It must be hard for you to wait until you husband come back, he will have a big suprise if all goes well and he will see you with the bump

Hellandglory , fingers crossed for the next scan x

I'm due oct 26 with first, currently 6 weeks 3 days, nervous and worried until 1st scan, got my midwife appointment on 14th march, worried in case nothing is there, I've got flu at the moment and a cold sore 😞,
No sickness yet, just bigger and sore boobs and like crampy and pulling feelings in my tummy no pain but noticeable, I want morning sickness so I know everything is ok,

 

[Heather1981]

Good luck to everybody tomorrow for all our check in appointments with the midwife as I know a few of us had them tomorrow.
I have had quite a good day today not feeling so sick ��

I did have a horrible dream last night the ones when u wake up and think is that really happening?

 

[AmyThomas]

Allysa- I think those feelings are completely normal and I know I've been having them. I feel like I need the scan and a medical professional to say 'yes, you are definitely pregnant and its ok' until I'll believe it. I cant believe how slowly the weeks are dragging before I get near to that point. But without any bleeding or strong cramps I'm finding it a bit easier to keep positive.
I think once I start to show I'll have to email my husband some pics, otherwise he'll come back on R&R and think I've been hitting the pies!

Lydia- that's completely understandable. I only really started to feel sick around the 9 week point, and even now I've not been sick, just feel queasy. I have felt some light cramping and stretching, but assume that is all normal from what I've read. I'm sure everything is absolutely fine, and the flu and cold sore are probably your body's way of showing that you are busy growing a baby and being rundown by it.

I am 99% sure I lost our baby yesterday. Gotta wait 2 Weeks for a scan to confirm. Devastated. Wish you all the best of luck xx

 

[Olivia118]

I'm sorry Lucylu, thinking of you.

Good luck everyone with your booking appointments! Mine is this afternoon! Catch up with you all tonight xxx

 

[Allysa151]

Lucyliu, sorry for what are you going through, I am hanging on that 1% chance of still being ok?

I have my booking appointment this afternoon as well, will update laters. Not feeling great, barely slept last night. Hope all goes well

Have a good week everyone x

 

[jojo3972]

I'm trying to eat little and often. I can manage cereal, which is my saviour at the moment haha.

Does anyone else wake up super hungry???? Feel like I'm eating all the time!

Jojo I don't think the OP has been online since? I'm not too sure but I keep checking to see if Due date list has been updated

Have a lovely weekend everyone xxx

I wander if she is ok not sure what happens if she doesn't come back 😕

I hope she's ok too..

I don't think anyone else but her can update her posts.
Optimistically looking ahead, someone should do one in the tri 2 section, which will prob be more accurate after all our dating scans - eeek!!

That seems like a gd plan to me x

Hi All,
I posted a few weeks ago as I had been for an early scan as I had a mmc 2 years ago, they found the sac after an internal scan and made me wait another 2 weeks for another scan. No one responded to my message but anyway, I have been for my second scan and thankfully it was ok, got to see the heartbeat which made my absolute year! Last time I had a scan I thought I was 12 weeks but found out my baby had died at 9wks 6days so was a really horrible experience to then have to go through the hospital stuff to deliver.... am feeling positive this time, which makes me nervous as well! I have no nausea and I didn't with my son who is now 11! But my goodness my boobs, they are killing me, even rolling over in my sleep wakes me up! I am the same with the whole walking around with trousers undone! Hoping no one notices as we have decided to tell no one until we have the 12 weeks scan now, after what happened last time. I have my midwife appointment in a fortnight which seems like a lifetime away but I am currently 9 weeks and 2 days according to my last scan so due around 7th October, fingers crossed for all of us xx

 

[Vickilou25]

Hi flick glad all was well at the second scan

Still no news from a midwife here will be chasing again tomorrow!

Welcome flick! Sorry about your mmc..must be really tough.

I had my first appt with my midwife She was ok, gave me a pack with loads on interesting stuff about pregnancy, had to fill in many papers but all was fine and quick. She sent the letter and within 2 weeks I should receive my letter with dates for next scan.
I feel more pregnant now lol

 

[Heather1981]

So sorry to Lucyliu
glad to hear all went well Flick
I had my appointment today it was same midwife I had when I had my little boy but I have only got her for a few more appointments and then she is retiring ��
She remembered me and remembered I am rhesus negative
I have to go back in two weeks and fast and get more bloods taken as I have diabetes in my family.

 

[Olivia118]

Hey all!

Had booking appointment this afternoon! Same as everyone else.....forms, paperwork, information (forgotten most of it already haha) bloods taken and didn't faint! Huge achievement for myself as I am a chronic fainter had 2 MW at my appointment? I go back for my dating scan on the 28th of March! Feeling impatient!!! Hope all went well for all the other ladies!!
