ACB Positives

Catherine · Post by **Catherine** » Wed Sep 10, 2003 6:58 pm

Hi All! So do I get to join your club?? Got my results on Monday and still can't believe it. I'd been getting symptoms, but of course rationalized them away to everything but and actual positive! It just seems too good to be true. As for nausea, I notice that when I wake up in the morning I feel pretty good, but then nausea and the dizzys set in shortly after breakfast and get worse throughout the day. Anyone else had this experienced this? Anyway, just glad to be so lucky as to have a reason for the symptoms! Fi-So glad to see you here. I'm horribly tired too and feeling the spins, but am thankful for every one. Did you hear about your scan date? I'm scheduled for 9/22 - Didn't know they could see anything so soon, but am excited (and nervous) about what they will find. Lynned-Hope your scan goes well. Bertie – Congrats on the great scan. I’m sure the next will be just as great. Sharon – Congrats on the twins, what an amazing blessing! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the same, but I think the whole idea terrifies my dh. Being fairly new to the site, and brand new to the ++ives, I’m not familiar with your stories. How far along is everyone? Love to all, Catherine

Hi Catherine, Welcome to the thread!!! Can't believe how many positives there have been. I am the same I feel great when I wake up but it starts after breakfast and is at its worst between 11am and 5pm, I have even been really sick in the middle of the night. But it is definitely all worth it and I am enjoying every minute of it, although I am starting to get really nervous about my scan next Wed (I am 7 weeks on Sat) Fi - My dh will not let me do anything, so I have still done no hoovering (its great, although is cooking is not great), as for sex the way I feel its the last thing on my mind. Michelle - Good luck with you scan today. Lots of Love Lynne

Hiya everyone. Are we all getting bigger or is that just me!? I am hoovering, cooking etc. I know this is a silly thing to say but no sex as hubby is scared. Anyone else's hubby like this? I seem to be expanding at a great rate of knots and I'm only 7wk and 2 days - we have a scan on Tuesday morning and if its all ok then I get signed off to doctors. I havent been sick but sometimes feel a bit nauseous but I am absolutely knackered. I was in bed at 8.30 last night!! Michelle - how was scan today? luv to all Bertie x

Sorry I ahven't let you know sooner about my scan on 11th. I was terrified but as I lay there the doctor immediately saw the baby (only 1, but that's fine!) and the heart was flickering away like mad. I am so relieved as last time we had nothing. The heartbeat sounded strong and our baby Bod measures 9.4 mm. I am 7 weeks 3 days and now it all seems real. I keep looking at the scan photo and probably annoying everybody by showing it off! I am definitely getting bigger - needed to go into town today to get next size up trousers so I can be comfortable, but am feeling very nauseaus. Not actually been sick yet, just retch a lot first thing and last thing, but I had to leave my class of 11 year olds yesterday three times in one lesson. Munching on ginger snaps, arrowroot biscuits and lemon squash seems to help. Got craving for jacket potatoes and lots of cheddar cheese! Take care - I don't want to post on the other side yet in case it tempts fate, so will check all sides but only post on here. Next scan is 2nd October when I will be 10 weeks. Michelle

Michelle Glad your scan was ok. I know what you mean about the photo - we keep showing ours off. Our next scan is at 8 wk (Tuesday) and then we will be discharged. I havent been sick either yet - sometimes get a bit nauseous about t-time. I keep looking at maternity clothes as I'm getting bigger too. Good luck to everyone. luv bertie x

Hi all, Glad I'm not the only one that feels as big as a house. Strange though, I haven't really gained weight, just bigger in the middle and chest. Actually, considering the ricidulous amount of food I'm eating I have been afraid of getting on the scale. I finally found the courage and I was only up by one pound! Bertie-DH is afraid to touch me at the moment as well. Though considering how I've been feeling lately, it's not such a bad thing for the moment. Good luck on your scan, I'm sure everything will be great. Lynned-Glad to hear you feel the same and I'm not crazy. Though I am completely exhausted during the day, I am having trouble sleeping at night. I've always been a deep sleeper and out as soon as my head hits the pillow, but not lately. After a few sleepless nights I finally zonked out at 7:30 and slept through the night, but then was tossing the following couple of nights. Anyone else? Is it just stress? Michelle S-Congrats on the scan. I have to wait another week until my first. I'm glad to hear you're needing to already buy new clothes, because I'm in the same boat. It'll be fun to have an excuse to do quite a bit of real shopping, but since I feel so fat, will it be any fun?? I just can't wait until I'm shopping in the mommy stores!! Fi-How's it going? Any new symptoms yet? Though they are still definately there, the dizzys are not as bad as they had been, though my head is still one big cloud and I'm exhausted. Jo-Where are you? Taking a few days off the site maybe, or just nervous about posting with the +ives. I know I was hesitant, but yes, it REALLY DID work. We're all a bit nervous, but we need to harness all our PMA now more than ever!! Hugs to All, Catherine

Hi Bertie, Lynne, Sharon, Michelle, Fi & Catherine and anybody else I've missed! Well, I'm posting on the ACB Positives, but it still hasn't sunk in yet! You're right Catherine, I took a few days off and was really nervous about posting on a 'positive' thread - I still feel a bit of a fraud! Nausea has kicked in already - every morning I'm reaching like mad and it carries on throughout the day. DH and I were walking round Tescos yesterday and I caught a whiff of the bananas (which is ironic as I didn't think bananas actually smelt) and had to stop myself from throwing up in the fruit & veg aisle! Was a bit worried as didn't think the nausea would kick in this early, but not complaining, honest! Seem to be absolutely exhausted by about 3.00pm too, but when I go to bed, I'm up about 3 times in the night for a wee so that's probably why I'm so tired! AF pains are still very bad - especially when I go to bed. It got to the point last night when I was going to phone the clinic as I was getting really scared - I didn't think you were supposed to be in so much pain when you find out you're pregnant? Again, not complaining, just got my worrying hat on today! Got my first scan on Tuesday 30th September, so obviously nervous about that and hoping everyday that it will all be OK. Hope all of you are doing well - good luck to everyone who has their scan this week. Loads of love, Jo xx

Who called it morning sickness - all day sickness is more like it! Started Saturday and today is the first time I have been upright for longer than 10 minutes without vomiting! Been to the doctors who told me to try all the remedies that I am already trying. Am off work all this week. Last sick at 3.30am so have managed to keep breakfast and lunch down today. Touch wood, will be getting better soon. Jo - I know what you mean about bananas. I love them but the sight of one now makes me retch! And life is so cruel - I have gone off chocolate!! Plums, salmon and fruit juice are no go as well - all make me vomit. Guess it's the acid. So am enjoying the culinary delights of wholemeal toast, cornflakes, apples, arrowroot and ginger biscuits, jacket potatoes and the most sophisticated taste of M & S cheddar cheese! Oh, and more than 20 mins on a computer which means I am going to have go! Take care. Michelle

Hiya everyone. Been for 8 wk scan 2day and got another piccie - def not camera shy. You could see the head and the buds where the arms and legs are gonna be. 14.3mm long!! We have to go on 30/9 as I'm still spotting. The lady we saw this morning was really good. She was asking how I was, nausea, af pains etc. She said all these aches and pains are normal!! I still havent got the courage up to post on the 'other side' yet either. luv to all Bertie xx

Hi everyone, Welcome Catherine and Jo - congratulations Michelle, so glad your first scan was ok - its amazing isnt it? Bertie, second scan already - doesn't time fly? I bet a few weeks really made a difference to their size. Lynne good luck for your scan tomorrow. Fi, only a couple of weeks till your scan bet you cant wait. Am I the only one on here that hasn't had any symptoms?? I thought it was supposed to be twice as bad with twins!! Every morning I wake up and think todays the day im going to be sick -but no! I know Im lucky but I can't help worrying. I don't have to go back to my clinic anymore, I have to just go to my GP and be treated as a 'normal pregnant woman' so I dont know when my next scan will be. Take things easy everyone.
