Hi

Me and my husband had only been trying for 2 months when I found out that I was 3 and a half weeks pregnant. I was diagnosed with Endometriosis when I was 15 and had battled problems ever since. I was always told that I may have trouble concieving and I knew that one of my tubes was completely ruined so I didn't imagine for a second that it would happen at all let alone so quickly.

I'm still in shock, but so so happy, this was obviously meant to be, I never thought that I'd feel so much love for something that I'd never even seen. But I do and I love it, its a wonderful feeling. Ayway I'm now in week 6 and have been having those dreaded feelings of worry. I'm just counting down the days until i'm 12 weeks, I'm not so bad now, but I was beside myself a couple of weeks ago. It took me by complete suprise too as I didn't give the worrying a second thought..... always thought I'd get pregnant, enjoy it then have a baby. Naive I know, but the worry just shows what a bond we already have with our little ones. I think i'm over the worst of it now and have calmed down big time, but am still marking the days off until 21st November, when I'll be 12 weeks exactly.

I've started to get the beginings of MS too now, its not been too bad, I just feel like I'm coming down with the flu each time, I haven't actually been sick yet though. My breasts have already gone up a cup size, this resulted in a number of people at work asking me if I'd had implants, and wanting to know which bra had given me that lifted look ha ha ha, they're not too sore yet either, they just feel a bit bruised. Anyone else only get mild symptoms at this stage?

Anyway good luck to everyone who's pregnant and especially to those of you who are TTC.

Ok the morning sickness has really kicked off now, Its happening about 8 times a day, and woke me up twice last night. I still haven't actually been sick, but the feeling of being sick seems to be so much worse right now. Going to go to the doctors to see if there's anything they can do (sign me off work maybe) as all the crackers, ginger biscuits, small meals etc aren't working. Yuk

Yay, went to see my consultant at the hospital today (this appointment was booked way before I was pregnant) and he asked me if i'd had my scan yet? As I hadn't he did one there and then for me. God I was shaking so much, but luckily all is well, the baby's growing well and it has a strong heartbeat so I am sooooo relieved. Had a bit of scare when I got home as I had some brown spotting. I phoned the hospital and they said that it was absolutely nothing to worry about and brown spotting is really common around 7 to 9 weeks. The said that as I'd had a scan this morning and all was well that I dodn't need to worry. I'm trying not to. Has anyone else had this?

Hey, I'm feeling really down at the moment, obviously I'm over the moon about being pregnant and am extremely thankful, but I'm so ill at the moment and its really getting me down. I cant go out and haven't been able to go to work for about 3 weeks and am feeling really really lonely. I havent had a single call from any of my friends seeing how I am, even though they know i'm not well and I'm sick of being stuck in the house the whole time...It just feels like my friends have forgotten about me now that I'm pregnant and cant go out. Sorry for the little rant, but is anyone else feeling like this.

I am feeling really scared. I `ve had a great pregnancy so far and compared to some people I have been very lucky. I just went to my routine midwife appointment and was told that my fundal height is measuring at 30 weeks, when I `m only 26 weeks. She told me that there `s every chance that I `m just going to have a big baby, but also warned that I could have an excessive amount of amnotic fluid which can be serious for both me and the baby. I know that this is pretty rare, but it doesn `t stop me from worrying. I have to go into hospital tomorrow afternoon for a scan and to have some blook tests to check to see if theres any reason for it. Unfortuanmtly I `ve also been suffering from really bad puffy feet and ankles and crushing pains in my chest which is indicating a problem, so I `m keeping my fingers crossed that my little boy is OK. I `ll keep you posted.

Well everythings fine with the baby. I had my scan and it just looks like I `m having a very big baby. They `re going to keep an eye on me and test for diabetes but other than that everythings looking fine with my little boy. Had a bit of a nightmare yesterday though, as I woke up with a purple finger, because the babys so big I `m started to swell up like a balloon and my wedding ring was completely stuck. I luckily managed to get my engagement ring off, but had to go to A&E and have my wedding ring cut off. I was so upset yesterday but I went into a jewllers today and have sent it off to be repaired, so I `ll have it back soon....its just a shame, I feel so naked without my rings

I've been getting really sharp pains down in the vagina area as well and lost my muscus plug two days ago. Everyone is saying the baby's head is pushing down but as of last week he was breech. Not sure what to think. I have a appointment tomorrow so hopefully I will have a better answer.

They'll have to induce you soon if you don't just go into labor on your own. Wow, big baby (want to share some of that with my son, he's a scrawny little guy).

Keep me updated, I hope all goes well!
Best Wishes!

lolo88 - Tuesday, 29 April
wow!!!! 42weeks omg, i honestly believe youll have your baby really really soon, if they wait any longer wouldnt u have to get a c-section??? i dunno anything bout pregnancy and all that but usually they have a time period for the baby to come. somtime during 2 weeks b4 the 40th week and then sometime during 2 weeks after the 40th weeks. so basically between 38& 40 weeks.. good luck to u let me know how everything is goin this is very interesting and this is my first baby

Hey chick, About ur post in week 35 i too keep measuring 6-7 weeks ahead whenever they check my FH i had a scan at 32 weeks tho and they said nothing was wrong with my baby. He's big but he's still on the normal side i'm sure ur scan will be fine they just do it routinely to make sure everything's ok. There are a number of reasons why u cud be measuring ahead such as the way the baby is lying, u may have slightly more fluid than normal or he cud just be a big baby. Let me know how it goes though wont u. at 32 weeks my baby was weighing around 5.6lbs. I'm also fully engaged. xx


MommyJewels - Tuesday, 29 April
42 weeks???? Oh wow! That is incredible! Let me know what your doctors say1
