In saying that though, I am very much looking forward to first hospital appointment next week at 13 weeks and really hoping that we still have 2 nice strong heartbeats at the scan.

yeh ur so right. im gona try put bad thoughts out of my head when they come in. my husband is excellent at not worrying and bein positive. then im almost trying to prepare him for if somethin goes wrong. its not fair so im gona think like him from now on cos worrying isnt gona change a thing. feeling much better tonight. managed to make dinner, eat it and clean up with no gagging or sick feeling! it was great!

goodluck with your scan. your nearly 2 weeks ahead of me! bet its really exciting having 2!

Its so hard not to worrry isnt it! Especially when you havent been scanned or heard the heartbeat yet like me, next week cant come soon enough.

Does anyone else have days where they dont feel pregnant at all? The tiredness and the sickness lifts a little and your stomach seems flatter?! I nearly prefer feeling fat and like crap as its reassuring that everything is progressing!

Yes me too some days i have a nice little bump and other days seems like its just disappeared!! I have my second appointment with my doctor next Tuesday for her to take my blood and although I hate needles I can't wait for it. I am kind of wishing things would move along faster

im 11 weeks today but feeling little worried...there was some pinkish stuff when i wiped on saturday night, this was straight after having intercourse (sorry if too much info!) but gone again on sunday. Then again yesterday morning was little again when i went toilet first thing but was gone again and seems to be gone completely now...I dont know what to think iv done a little reading on the web and i think it can be normal for little spotting after intercourse but have any of you had any experience with this?

I had spotting early on around week 5/6 and had early scan done at 7 weeks and nurse said everyting was ok and we heard heartbeat so im hoping its ok again. Not due another scan til 20 weeks. I think once theres no blood its ok???

i know how you feel. im 10 weeks 5 days. i think it is normal after intercourse and if theres no blood it should be ok. but im the same as you i had small amount brown discharge thurs and mon but only once each time and not after intercourse. apparently this can be normal too. i had a scan last fri and it showed heart beat and everything was fine. if i get it again i will prob ring and run it by someone. im trying to think positive and that i cant control it. easier said than done but im trying. if it hapens again id ring the early pregnancy unit and ask them. goodluck and try not to worry. i think we will all feel much better once we get to 12/13 weeks. not long left! please God we will all have healthy pregnancies!!

GillyBo · 22-06-2011, 11:57

thanks red fraggle!

Ye i know it can be so nerving just wondering about things like this specially because i had a m/c last november so i tend to think the worst but going to try stay positive, i havn't actually had any blood so everything should be ok..only thing is that my next scan is not until 21 weeks and seems so far away!!

Yes will definately feel much more at ease this day next week when i finally reach 12 weeks! Then only another 6months after that!!

rylie · 22-06-2011, 12:42

8 weeks today woohoo!!!

This time around I've way more symptoms, if I get even a little bit hungry I immediately feel sick. Often I won't actually realise I'm hungry till I feel pukey and the only thing that fixes the pukeyness is food

Also wrecked, beyond wrecked, there needs to be a new word invented for this level of tiredness- I cried the other night because I'd forgotten to take my makeup off and all I wanted to do was sleep!! I'm heading to bed as soon as baby rylie goes to bed these days. Poor hubbie!

I had pinkish bleeding at 12 weeks on this pregnancy and at 9 weeks in the first pregnancy...they told me that you have kind of blood vessels in your cervix that can burst which causes the bleeding, which is why it's a light pink and not darker. If you're worried don't be afraid to go to the hospital...are you getting a 12 week scan? If so they can check for a heartbeat then.

Hiya ladies

We had the first scan on Tuesday and it was amazing, very active little baby, doing lots of kicking so now hb thinks it's going to be a footballer!!!! 10 weeks 5 days today and have told my parents - they're mega excited as it's the first grandchild and telling other grandparents at weekendbut noone else yet.
My hb is now very excited but I'm still reluctant to get too excited as I know loads of people who have had a mc at 11/12 weeks - I know this is the wrong attitude but it's hard, especially first time.
Feeling much better this week, less tired and nauseous but eating like a horse - up a half stone already, which I know isn't good but fe*k it!!!
Still hard to believe there is a little person inside me though!!!!

MiMi P · 23-06-2011, 09:23

Quins5 - I'm due on Jan 14th so near you and red fraggle - I'm based in Cork too - Are you going public or private?? I'm thinking private as it is our first...

red fraggle · 23-06-2011, 10:41

congrats mimi p on the scan!

i felt crap the last 2 days and have a bit of a cold. sooo tired. I have another scan on fri 8th so we will tell everyone then WHEN we see eveythin is still fine. fingers crossed!!!!

I am from wexford. not sure if i will go public or private. dont know if there would be much difference there. i would have appts in one hospital but would still have the baby in wexford general. i wouldnt mind having a semi private room but not sure if thats an option. if any one has any ideas on the public/private let me know.

good luck to everyone. not long til we hopefully reach our 12 week mark!
