dreaminginoz - sorry to hear about your fatigue. I find that I can't do as much as I could before in a day so I'm taking it easy on myself. Hopefully you can get some sleep soon!

I hear ya on the fatigue. I get so tired around now 2pm-ish. Luckily my 2yo is having a nap and my DD is in a better mood today than yesterday.
Yep I had insomnia early. Now I just have child induced insomnia. So tired
I am so tired and exhausted these days feel like quitting job ! managing to drag myself to work..luckily can work part-time twice a week... just feel like lying down even if not sleepy.
Have bloated so much, face looks like a balloon :bigsmile:
Met up some friends who asked if we are expecting! why do people probe. When it is right time we will announce. We said no, I have just put on weight. :giggle:
Tulip I hear ya on the exhaustion and on the comments. By the end of the day my bump looks huge to me. I keep telling myself its because its my third. Not ready to announce until in the clear
The morning sickness has really hit me at 6 weeks. :( I was having to constantly snack on crackers today to settle my tummy. We just had a great dinner--and I am feeling much better. With my first 2 pregnancies, I had strong food aversions to coffee (the horror!!!) and brocolli, but no food has seemed to bother me! (yet)
I really hated broccoli with ds2 as well. Usually I really like it, food adversions are funny aren't they
I had to go to the ER last night as I was bleeding and cramping. Everything is okay with the baby and my labs came back normal. I went to my OB today and she says I have multiple fibroids with one measuring 3.9 cm and a cyst on each ovary. Goodness! I've been put on modified bed rest for the next two weeks and have to see a specialist next week. I had fibroids with my last pregnancy but they didn't affect me or my son at all. I guess it really is true that all pregnancies are different.
Oh no Nahjah. So glad but is ok. Will be praying it doesn't cause you any more issues.
anyone having extreme thirst ??? cant seem to get enough water ! :rolleyes:
Nahjah that sounded a bit scary but so glad a reason was found:) rest up!.
Well ladies I have finally had an u/s today to rule out ectopic as this was a concern for us and the scan went well. Sac is measuring 5wks 2 days, and EDD has been confirmed at 29 nov. the sonographer also said egg came from the left ovary. Not sure if that means anything but I'm just glad my bub is infact a bub and I can finally relax and get excited.
Yes Im thirsty all the time too. So exciting dreaminginoz!
Nahjah we are due date buddies! 11/4 confirmed for me at ultrasound yesterday. Heart rate 175.
I've had some cramping too and it's sharp but mostly only if I get up/ move too fast and the dr said its probably round ligament pain which happens earlier with subsequent pregnancies. Or could be your fibroids. I have some cysts on rt ovary and did with DD too which caused some pains. Hope you feel better!
Oh Nahjah just saw your post. Glad you found out the cause and are ok. That must have been so scary! Rest up :-)
Oh it was very scary! I'm determined to do whatever I need to do to make this work so rest and relaxation it is. And since I don't want to be on strict bed rest, I've got to do what I need to do now.
Anyone else had headaches? I get headaches very rarely but I think I've had one every day the last few days. And nasal congestion, I've hardly been able to breathe at night but it doesn't feel like a cold.
yes I had headaches during the 2nd time. but rare in 2 weeks or so..
Bythe******, I've had headaches too but they seem to go the more I eat small frequent meals and drink lots of water... How u feeling now? Any hange? Did u have your scan?
No more headaches thank goodness. Just nausea on and off and nasal congestion still, pretty sure its pregnancy related because no green snot or sore throat. With ds1 I had nose bleeds so I know pregnancy can stuff up my nose. My scan is on Thursday I'll be exactly 8 weeks can't wait to see bub :bigsmile:
1 more sleep till ur 8 wk scan bythe******! How u feeling? What do they ell you at your 8 wk scan, is it a dating scan?
Yep a dating scan. Im feeling terrible tonight, felt quite good all day then crashed just before tea time. DH told me to go lie down at dinner because he thought I might throw up. Oh well its all for a good cause.
ugh any tips for the all day morning noon and night sickness ladies?
nothing is working :(
the only thing that remotely settles my stomach is coke but has to be regular cant be diet etc
i had a little nausea the day i tested but nothing much compared to what started bang of 6 weeks.
i'm constantly nauseous feeling like i am going to throw up at any given moment, my one big aversion is coffee - i cannot smell it drink it or even look at it. i loved coffee when i was pregnant with my others i couldnt seem to get enough lol
any tips or tricks on how to get through the next few weeks? it came in waves with my boys and was more related to smells
:-( sorry you're so miserable mumof6. I know its almost impossible with 6 kids but can you lie down for a little while each day? And have you tried ginger? You might have to talk to your Dr if it gets too much. Hopefully you will only have a few more weeks and it will settle.
mumof6--have you tried a Seaband? You can get it at Walmart, it should help with the all day queasiness!!!
And to answer all the other topics, Yes to being thirsty all the time, yes to having headaches, and yes to being stuffed up! LOL
I had my first OB appt yesterday, and everything was great! Baby measured 7 weeks 2 days (which was only 3 days off based on LMP), heartrate at 147, everything looked wonderful, great, and healthy!!!
Even though it's my 3rd pregnancy, it is JUST as amazing to see the little one on the screen as it was the first time!!!!
Had my first scan today. Baby measured at 8wks. Right side ovary (not that it matters but just), Good heartbeat (170bpm) , due date Nov 8 :bigsmile:
I just saw my but this morning too, its great isn't it. My little one was measuring 8 weeks exactly. Due date the 14th. HB 163 ovulated from left.
You guys are so lucky to see your babies! My doctor is on vacation so I don't have an appointment with her until the 9th...then it will probably take a week to book the scan. So I should be around 7 weeks. I hope I see a strong heartbeat. I feel very pregnant. Cramping a lot though...
mumof6 i was feeling the same yesterday, alot more than i had with my ds's, ive always felt queasy and nauseous but never like this, that im going to throw up...so and i tried an apple and cinnamon rice cracker - worked a treat, felt fabulous within a few minutes....thsts not to say itll work for everyone but might be worth a go :)
bythe******, mindyjean and tulip - yay! so glad your scans went well and you saw your little beans, i cant wait to see an actual HB with my next scan!
Just had a major craving for frozen coke, luckily DH brought one home for me. So good, he did drink about half of it though. Cheeky.
not much sugar for me. I have to monitor my sugar levels but I love to cheat ! :bigsmile:
Just iced water is almost as good, or a homemade slushie with a little juice or cordial in water. The problem is waiting for it to freeze.
how exciting!! i was thinking of doing a sneaky and asking my doc for a "dating scan" lol
i have never tried sea bands - i came across something called queasy beads which are just prettied up travel bands. worth a shot though! i'm planning on ordering some next week
not a fan of ginger but dh cooks a dish that is basically rice soup which has ginger in it and i found it really settled my stomach at that particular time.
anyone starting to notice the weight creeping on? i've never put on weight anywhere but a little in my face with all of my other pregnancies. i was all belly. this time in my arms, face, backside, hips, thighs etc i have noticeably gained weight. i never ever put weight on in my arms and my belly is quite "spread" i look quite full in the tummy area at only 9w3d
lucky! I put on weight everywhere...im gonna try really hard this time to not eat for 2! and yes already im starting to notice my pants/skirts are very snug around my tummy and im only 6wks :( but its all worth it isnt it!
What are the queasy bands? are they a band you snap to distract yourself from feeling sick?!
Is anyone else here going through midwives for their prenatal care? I had a midwife last time around and absolutely loved it. No, we don't have as many scans as you ladies going to an OB but I really liked the experience of having a midwife. My last baby was a home birth so I hope to have another home birth with this baby. My first appointment isn't until next month but maybe they'll be able to find a heartbeat by then so I can hear baby. :)
No weight on yet which is nice but my tummy is puffier. In other pregnancies I have been starving early but this time I've had to make myself eat regularly.
I will go to the midwives too but through the hospital. I've never had an OB for any of my pregnancies, just my GP and the hospital midwives. I have friends who have had homebirths here but it is expensive in Australia because they are private and have to pay their own insurance, I think if I had had any problems at the hospital I would consider a homebirths but I found the midwives there great and I've had 2 natural births with no drugs. My first was even induced 12 days late and had to be sucked out because he was in distress with the cord around his neck twice but the midwife and the hospital OB handled it so well I didn't even realise how serious it was at the time.
Hello Ladies! I swayed girl after 6 boys and due Nov.16th
Welcome! I can't believe we have 2 mum of 6 boys due in Nov! Really hope you both hear pink this time
Thanks bythe******! I pray me&mumof6 finally see pink we so deserve it! Good luck to everyone hope you all get your DG!!!
Hi Girls,
I had my first scan last week and everything looked good. Have you all heard about the blood test at 10 weeks where they can tell the gender? (It really is another screen for downs, etc) but my doc says since I am 36, insurance will most likely cover it for me! I could know the sex at 10 weeks? Crazy, huh?
xoxo
Oh that's exciting Lizzie, you'll be the first of us to know I think. That means you could know in just a couple of weeks right? Is that the Mat21?
