Due July 2012 Thread

Congratulations to ye ladies OK i`ll join in
I`m 6 weeks pregnant (miscarried in august at 9 weeks so a little reluctant to call myself pregnant!!)
I`m due July 18th
I went to Dr on period due dates cos of very high temp with sore throat but he didn`t test, he just trusted my 7 positive tests starting from 10 days past ovulation!! He filled out the form for hosp and that was it - no blood tests, blood pressure or weight check. Should I have had those? Also according to him I shouldn`t need to see him again til after my 20 week scan!?!? Seems a bit long is it?
I know if Ive any worries I can go into him or the early pregnancy unit...
Congratulations!!
It seems very long to have to wait untill after your 20 week scan... I had blood pressure and weight check done when I went in. He also did blood test: he did a full antenatal screen checked blood type etc: i thought they always did that on your first appt: but im totally open to correction on that. Maybe give him a ring just to check do they need to be done? My doc said he wanted to see me once a month or more often if i needed it before i got the hyperemisis or the bleed: for the whole week where I was just being normal!!0 -
I am exhausted too!
Hubby is home for the weekend tomorrow, and we've booked a scan at a place in Dublin seeing as we will both be there together. I had noticed a tiny spot of blood yesterday (really tiny, about the size of a match head) so had a bit of a panic. Seem fine today though, apart from being wrecked, but the scan will set my mind at rest.
I also feel really, really fat! I've never been a skinny minny, but I was always a 14-16, and now all my pants feel uncomfortably tight and my boobs are even bigger, if they increase much more, I'll tip over. I'm 7 weeks today, so surely I can't be showing yet! Of course it could be all the extra milk I've been drinking

Congratulation to everyone
I can wait my first scan only few days left
My morning sickness should be called after midnight ;-) they start around 2- 3 am and keep going until 7-8 am. I usually feel nausea.
Hope it will stop soon.
Re bra – I bought some time ago sports bra in pennys (grey soft one) it is crappy as a sports – bra but it is great for nights.0 -

Thanks I`ll see how things go from here..
Got a call yesterday for antenatal classes for January (for my 1st pregnancy) so she put down for an early pregnacy class instead and moved my antenatal to May - So that done now!!
I got an almighty pain in my lower abs last night heading upstairs, I was bent over and couldn`t move for a while... Frightened the hell outta me when I`m convincing myself to be positive...Thankfully I`m actually sicker today with morning sickness than all week - I might actually throw up yet

Hats off Mink on the homebirthing plan. You go girl!!! As for the insomnia, I am like a crazy woman in the bed!!
Welcome Fri.Day. Don't worry - locum I saw didn't ask me for anything either! As for seeing the doc again, she didn't say anything to me either about return visits, so I am clueless on that too!
Javagal - I am constantly waking during the night and my head is wrecked from restless legs - my hubbie (at 2am this morn!) said it's like sleeping with a washing machine coz I am turning and hopping around so much in the bed and don't get me even started on getting up for pees during the night!!!
Cyning - your doc seems very thorough in all fairness, must be very reassuring, I am a tad jealous!!!
Kash - I have an awful pot belly (plus massive boobly doobies) and I am only 5.5 weeks!
Got my progesterone level back, it's higher then it normally should be at this stage so am waiting for consultant to advise me on what to do re the cyclogest pessaries (yuck!)
And welcome Mamaheidi 0 -

Jaysus I really wasn't expecting to feel so many symptoms right at the beginning, though I know lots of women don't get anything. I'd take buckets of sore knockers, cramps & insomnia over nausea though. I'm really really hoping the nausea passes me by, I don't know though.
Lots of people due on days with 8 - 8th, 18th & I'm on the 28th!
Seeing as we're all so early on, who have you told re the pregnancy (other than your partner in crime)? We told my two sisters & two of our best friends as they all knew we were TTC & have been through it before. We're going to tell his folks on weekend (mine are long passed away). I'm looking forward to telling them actually.
Going to try and leave it at that til around the 12 wk mark before telling others if I can. I have this awful feeling that I'm going to start obviously showing early on, I've already got a pot bell from bloating & generally packing on a few pounds over the year.
Himself has now convinced himself he wants to find out the sex of the baby, damn, was hoping for a surprise.0 -

Mink girl I am so pathetic at lying, I would rather just avoid putting myself in the situation! Crazy I know, but I just can't flipping lie to save my life. And my family would ask straight out, so have decided to just stay away and fib on the phone to them!!! I feel awful doing it, but it will be worth it come Christmas I hope and we will be nearer the 3 month mark. On the flip side, at least it will make the whole pregnancy shorter for them being told later!!

We have lot told aswell: but alot of that is the fact I was in hospital and not easy to hide that from friends!
I'm glad they know though: if god forbid anything happened I'd want my friends and family around me.
I'm loving everyone joining in on this thread its all so exciting!!
I also bawled watching Dr Phil earlier: I rang himself in work (crying): he was not impressed with me: I was just really upset and wanted to say hi!! And I thought I wasn't really emotional :rolleyes:0 -

Another night, another crap sleep
I'll sleep for 2 hours then *BAM* wide awake for at least a half hour!
I'll have to start watching my weight slightly, I had just lost 30lbs on ww a month before I got pregnant and 5 have already creeped back on, May up my veggies and cut out the crap.. Maybe I'll sleep better then too!0 -
I'm with ou on that one Javagal, I need more veggies and less junk food.
I went for an early scan at Ultrasound Dimensions, and they found a healthy heartbeat, so I am over the moon.
We had already told our parents, but we're going to tell our siblings and clse friends today.
It's so exciting seeing that ultrasound develop, when she said "well there's the heartbeat" it was like a monumental weight off my mind. I'm grinning from ear to ear now 0 -

Happy Monday all!
Kildaresh - congratulations and welcome to the club.:)
I had a weekend of restless legs, headaches, hangover type feeling, sleep disturbance and loo trips -but it's OK!!!
My hubbbie went out on a work night out on Sat night - so I had 2 bottles of Becks non alcoholic beer on Sat evening and twas alright - anyone tried it? Is there such a thing as non alcoholic wine????
Well, I went ahead and told my porky that the hubbie had hurt his back at work by falling over, this was followed by numerous texts/calls from my siblings on Fri asking how he was, what he had been carrying, what he fell over and what medication he was on!!!! Then on Sat this was followed up with texts asking how he was!!!! OMG, I felt like JUDAS!!! So that was all grand, I had told the lie and things had quietened down, until my dad rang me Sat evening saying that himself and my mum would travel back with my bro (who lives near us) on Sun morning for a quick visit!!!!! I nearly died!!!!!!!!!! So we said look we would have to tell them when they arrived - but thankfully on Sun morning, they decided the visit would be too rushed and that they would leave it till another time!! Me nerves!
Lesson learned, telling lies is not good people!!! :P
How is everyone feeling?
I am 6 weeks tomorrow and am so sad wishing the weeks away... :rolleyes:
Cyning - how are you feeling?
Silly - the restless legs are driving my hubbie and I crazy, I put a pillow under the lower part of back and a pillow between my legs. I also have started sleeping the other way around in the bed, as in my feet are where my head normally is!!! Crazy I know, but it seems to help me the last few nights!!
I also tried the bar of soap in a sock and put it behind the knee trick, supposed to work, but don't think it helped me, but anything is worth a try?!! Elevating the legs sometimes helps, but it can vary really. It's sooo annoying.... :mad: 0 -
I feel like crap... back in doctor this afternoon now so fingers crossed everything okayish anyway! I've definately lost weight but hey I only puked 5 times yesterday so that is an improvement!! I'm 8 weeks today so if they're right and all the sickness should be gone by 14 weeks (ish) only 6 weeks of this left!! I've discovered i can eat rashers, mashed potatoes and stewed apple: they stay down the longest at least! Exhausted from it though.
For the restless legs ice packs work wonders for me...0 -

Cyning hope you start to feel better sooner.
Speaking of morning sickness, I was on the What to expect .com website & it says there that women who experience morning sickness are far less likely to have a miscarriage than women who don't. To be honest, that freaked me out a little as I've no sign of sickness yet (5wks +2).
Anyone know of anyone who carried full term & didn't get an iota of sickness?
March2011, someone I know was looking into those non-alco wines & she said they are vile. Yeah becks non-alco is supposed to be fairly decent. I think there may be a non-alco Erdinger also. Must check it out.
Nothing much happening with me other than crampy, booby and waking up at weird hours still.
Has anyone noticed if their skin has got nicer or detioriated. My skin reacts strongly to hormones but not much changing at the moment (I will take that over acne!!)0 -
Oh Cyning you poor thing - my heart goes out to you feeling so ill.
Mink - I have often heard that about the sicker you are, the better it is as it means you have a strong pregnancy - but I don't know if that's an old wives tale???!!
No change in my skin condition, but my eyes look very heavy, like they do when you are sick. They have been like this since I got pregnant.0 -
Mink morning sickness doesn't usually kick in untill between 4 and 6 weeks so you might get it yet!! And one of my friends did not get one ounce of morning sickness throughout either of her pregnancies so i really wouldn't worry about it.
March11 I read that in some places about morning sickness, and when I was in hosp they all said it too: but for every website that says theres a correlation between high levels of sickness and lower level of miscarraige there's another that doesn't. I give up on the internet
The other thing that alot of sites say is that if your prone to travel sickness you're more likely to experience morning sickness: which would definately be true in my case: totally pointless information but interesting nonetheless!!0 -

I am 7 weeks, I have absolutely no idea when the first scan should be, but I knew you could pay for one in most of the big cities - so I got my own. And it was so worth it.
The babies heartbeat was 114 which the sonographer said was perfectly normal, even though I've been freaked out online with 'recommended' heartrates being a bit higher.
How soon would I hear a heartbeat?
I`m 7 weeks on wednesday so thought I might book myself in for next week at 8 weeks [6weeks from conception!?!]
I`d be be nervous but I really want some reassurance given my history...
I told a few more friends on the weekend at a Xmas party, alcohol free Becks tasted awful, tomato juice and fizzy cranberry had to do instead!!
I mentioned my awful morning sickness to my friend who`s a Doctor and she says is a very good sign for the baby - she might be just telling me what I want to hear?!
My boobs went from nothing to something over the weekend
Anyone eating COAL yet?? :rolleyes:0 -
-
-
Tomato juice, apples, cream crackers and boiled eggs!!
Not too weird just yet...
I`ve expanded a bit this time, like when you have a big dinner and have to open a button, My sister gave me her size 10 maternity trousers but thankfully they`re too big just yet! So I`m at work this week with a button open..;)
So I count 11 July babies COOL 0 -
How soon would I hear a heartbeat?
The place I went could do the early scan from 6 weeks onwards - it was 145 euro, but i would have paid twice that for the peace of mind.
I'm not craving anything too extreme, apart from buttery barm brack. I can live with that!
I was never a big drinker, but I missed the booze this weekend, it was the first time I was stone cold sober at a party, and the first time that i was in bed by 10 despite everyone else going strong until all hours.
I told my little brother (he's 27, so not that little anymore!) and he was so over the moon, he nearly made me cry. It was by far the best reaction I could have got, i had not heard him that excited since he believed in Santa Claus 0 -

The only thing I have bought so far is some pretty pastel wool which will soon become baby's first blanket. I probably wont get anything else until chritmas is out of the way, but I have asked for Ikea vouchers - maybe I should change that to mothercare? 0
