Discovery Home & Health

I have had a rubbish day at work, really cant be bothered going in tomorrow!

I told only close family and friends and my manager at work. Going to try and wait till after scan before telling anyone else. I am so excited though and just want to tell everyone!

Hope everyone is feeling ok

Hi, feel much better today, cramps have not been as bad (quite bad yesterday). Due to see my M/W tomorrow pm, can't wait as it will seem more real

Speak soon Jo XX

Feeling exhausted today.. Had dr app so because of my age been offered CVS / amnio or something called CUB.. not sure yet, think I need to read up a bit more. Any one have any thoughts??

He going to organise early scan for me because of previous spotting in pregnancies.

Hope everyone well today

Good morning!!

Well I had to take a duvet day yesterday, I was completely exhausted!!! Is anyone finding that they are waking up in the night? Sunday night was ridiculous and I was getting more and more panicky of not being able to get to sleep and having to go to work - so I didn't!!! Same happened last night, but I just decided to relax and I went back to sleep. But I never have problems sleeping at all, so it's a bit weird.
Think I might have to tell work soon, so they will know why I am being so flaky!!
We are going to the Cotswolds for a week on 15th, so might do it when I get back. I don't think I am going to wait 12 weeks to tell the rest of our family and friends either - i'm rubbish with secrets!!!

Hi Teri - at least if your pregnancy turns out like the other 2 you will be a little less spooked and know more what to expect. As for the tests, that is a tough decision. I don't think i'm going to have any of those tests unless something significant shows up on the scan, because I don't think I could abort anyway, so what is the point in knowing??? Also my SIL had her 2nd bubs in Jan and she had the most scary pregnancy with him, they told her that he would be a very sickly baby, he had a cyst in his brain and probably cystic fibrosis - a more healthy a child you have never seen, he is fantastic and not a thing wrong with him!! She considered aborting because of what the doc's where saying and it was all nonsense!!!!

Right, as I am in work today, I had better do some!!!!

Hope everyone is doing ok

20 Jan. I keep waking up aeound 4ish and takes ages to get back to sleep.. and then all day absolutely knackered. Back starting to ache already to. had really bad Symphysis Pubis Disorder in last two pregnancies so been warned it could flare up worse and earlier in this one. I suppose being overweight doesnt help me either

Thanks for advice about tests, I know no matter what happens I wouldnd do anything about it, would just help prepare for what might be, but as you said they do make mistakes, think I might wait and see what blood tests and scans say xx

Good morning!!

Well like clockwork I was awake at 4am again this morning!!!! It's driving me mental!!!! I am luckily a person who has never had any problems sleeping at all and this is really throwing me out, especially as 6.30 is looming and I have to get up!!!!
Sayiong that though yesterday was the first day in ages that I haven't felt like a complete ratbag and actually had some energy, which was fantastic!!

How is everyone's sickness? I just get the odd wave of nausea and it is usually when i'm hungry, so food tends to sort it out!!! Although I was gagging on my toothbrush this morning!!

Poor DH has got man flu, I just hope that he keeps it to himself. Luckily I just have a bit of a sniffle at the mo (which, let's face it, is all man flu actually is!! ) and have been using vicks sinus spray to clear my head - do think using that is ok???

Nearly a week since I went to the doc's but haven't heard anything about a booking appt or anything from the hospital - I do have an appt with the practise midwife on 25th, does she do all that booking stuff?

It's gone very quiet on here ladies, are we all ok? I have a boss-free day today, so I can chat to my hearts content!!!

Hi all, nausea kicked in today with vengeance. had head down toilet most of this morning. seems to of stopped again now, wait and see might of been something I ate??

Still restless at nights and tummy seems to be so bloated already - clothes tight now hate to think what they be like in a few weeks, probably side of house

Hope everyone else feeling okay today. x

Hi, seen M/W yesterday and I have been booked in for an emergency scan tomorrow at 9.45am . She said because of my previous m/c's it would be better to ease my mind and also that they think I might be 9 weeks .

Still feeling sick and also waking up early hours of the morning. Hope you are all ok, will let you know tomorrow how the scan went, I am so excited and nervous at the same time.

Jo x

OMG!!!!!

9 weeks!!! That would be great news though to be so far along.

Good luck Jo and make sure to let us know how you get on.

I got my letter from the women's hospital today and my scan is on 19th October - so exciting!!!!

Jo, why did they think you were 9 weeks?

Teri you poor thing, I really hope I escape the bad sickness. Although my mum had it really bad, so if it is hereditary i don't think I will.

Hi guys. Been in hospital for the last few days, with a suspected ectopic. was opened up last night, to get my tube removed and they found nothing! very confusing, as scan had shown a 2cm "lump". Still getting positive pregnancy results, and my hgc was over 600, so it seems im still pregnant, they just dont know where!

So another scan next week, plus more blood tests to get to the bottom of this.


Hope everyone else is going fine?

Hi Jenni,

What a horrible few days!!! I really hope that everything works out well for you and the results come back quickly.

Take care hun.

Oh Jenni big hugs hun, hope everything is ok. Take care of yourself, I am keeping fingers crossed for you. Jo

Jenni how awful for you hon. At least everything still looking positive x Little Tootie just hiding

Maijay 9 weeks wow... did you think you were that far ahead?? hope scan goes well and you see little beanie xx

20 Jan How are you feeling today - still away in the night???

Nothing to report today feel okay actually x

Hi Teri - yes awake again, i'm sitting at my desk nearly in tears I am so tired and to top it all I am definitely catching DH's 'Man-flu'.

I'd give anything for a goodnights sleep!!!

Jenni/Jo good luck with all the test/scans today

Hi, well had my scan and seen little beans heartbeat which was very emotional. I am officially 6 weeks and 3 days and my due date is 28/4/08, is it ok if I stay on here though . My m/w thought I might be 9 weeks because of the very early test and not to much bleeding on my last af. Nausea still here in a big way but haven't been sick though which I suppose is a blessing.

Hope you are all ok, 'speak soon'. Jo
