1st trimester friends

[LisaB75]

Hi everyone. Jessica - I am thinking of you as well. Good luck tomorrow!

I haven't read all of the posts b/c I am at work and time is limited b/c I have my year-end auditors in here (I am in accounting).

I am leaving at noon today for my 2 PM scan. I am so nervous! Although I had an early scan last weekend and all was good - I am still scared. Does everyone else feel this way? I just know I will feel 100 times better when I see that little heartbeat again.

Anyway - I will check in tomorrow to let you know how it went - and to see how you are all doing. Have a great day!

Hello my name is John. I'm in the stage where we shouldn't tell anyone yet but it's hard to sit back and not talk about our pregnancy especially after finding out that we lost one the of the multiples. Just wanted to say hi and speak out finally.

Hi Ladies...and gentleman!

Glad to hear everyone is progressing nicely and healthy. I'm still amazed that I STILL haven't experienced any symptoms (except for a little bloating) and I'm 7 weeks, 5 days. But there is something new happening and I bet that someone else is feeling the same.

After eatting a healthy lunch (salad and a some type of protein), when the clock starts coming around to 2:30 - 3:00, my head is about to hit the desk. I could easily put a pillow on my office desk and take a nap (OH how I really want to).

Any afternoon pick me up advice?



All the Best!

Mary Ann

Hello everyone,

I've been afraid to jump over to the 1st tri side and fear I am tempting fate. But, there are only a few weeks left in my 1st tri and I've got to let go of fears sometime! Sue, what you said about our references being messed up because all we have known in past pregnancy attempts is pretty much heart ache really touched me. I only have 4 mc's to reference my feelings with and it's hard to trust your body can do this right. I made the comment to my RE the other day that he wouldn't recognize me at my first pregtnany. I was so calm and mellow about everything.

I recognize so many of you from waiting for first scan. I've really missed being regular on the site lately. I've been on bed rest for almost 4 weeks. I think I'm going a bit batty. I had bleeding/spotting from 6 weeks until last Thursday. Fingers crossed it is gone and I can be a "normal" person again. Poor dh is trying to keep up, but the house really could use some scrubbing!! Poor dear thinks he's cleaned something and I hate pointing out that it's not near clean! I don't think men have the same eyes as we do for seeing dirt.

Out of sympathy he got me a lap top and I am back in touch with civilizaiton! YEAH!!

I'm so glad everyone is doing so well. As far as the thirst goes - I've also become a guzzler. I have to have 2 bottles of wate by the bed. Lisa and MLG - I'm so happy to hear you're showing as well. I'm certainly showing "somethimg" to my husbands constant amusement of pointing it out! I can barely fit in clothes - luckily it's been pj's due to bed rest.

Jessica - prayers are with you for tomorrows scan!

Happy soon to be Mother's Day to everyone!

Hi everyone,

Just popping in to say hi! It's funny reading everyone's experiences, and finding so much similarity! Like the thirst - sometimes I can't get enough water, and other times the thought of drinking anything makes me feel ill, so I eat an orange instead!

I have my 12 week scan tomorrow, and am feeling a little nervous. I just hope everything looks good and is progressing normally. I know I should be more confident, but it's hard... I haven't had a scan since I was 7 weeks.

I am also 'showing', although it just looks like a fat tummy at the moment. I got OHSS my last cycle, and I also bloated up this time & never really went down. And I have been to scared to exercise for fear I will do some damage, so I've just been eating and sleeping! Oh well....

I hope everyone is doing well, and their little bumps & gorwing nicely.

Bella.

All the best today Bella. Are you having an NT scan done?

I have another scan this Thursday and the big NT scan the following Thursday....very nervous. I am feeling better and only need a small nap in the afternoon. I too have not exercised..scared to death I should do anything wrong. I do walk the dogs about 1 hour everyday through the woods (and slowly make my way up some pretty steep hills)...so I figure this is enough. I am looking into pregnancy yoga and swimming. I still don't have much of anything to show...just a bit rounder around the middle. I spoke to my mom yesterday and she said she didn't start wearing maternity clothes until the 7th month and she barely showed...so this made me feel much better.

Hi,
Hope Okay if join you guys, am out of the loop with whats going on with everyone but will be nice to start catching up.

Bella how did your nuchal go? Did you a video tape / dvd, sometimes they can record it Good luck for your scans tracii, let us know how they will go! Theres nothing to take the nerves away is there!

Are you feeling a little better about everything Sue? for Daly and yourself I cant even begin to imagine how you do finally let go of the fear, the disappointments youve had to deal with are unimaginably hard, but I hope your finding some joy in there too

Hope everyone is well (yay!!! almost end of first tri end of this week!!!)

Excited, nervous, scared, proud, blessed....

[Tracii]

OMG Jessica - take care of yourself and the 3 little guys!!!!

[kristiA]

Wow Jessica. That's a surprise after your first scan. They all pulled through! Good luck in the coming weeks. I know carrying three was going to be tough for you. I hope what is meant to be for you will happen.

Bella - hoping that scan goes well, can't wait to hear your news.


Daly - Glad you have took the jump, i done exactly the same as you, held off for ages, but no matter what hapens, this is the furthest i have ever been so i am going to celebrate that!!!! Poor you with 4 weeks bed rest but great that the bleeding has stopped and what a sweet DH getting you a laptop. Looking forward to watching you progress over the coming months.

I am off for my NHS scan in a few hours, nervous but everything has been great so far, so believing all will be well, will let you know.
