Oktober & November 2011 Mammas

Hi Kiara and Christi

Thank you so much for the reply, that makes me feel so much better!

I did ring my dr this morning cause the cramps were really bad last night and he said that I am welcome to come in again and we can have a look but he assured that both my scans last week looked very good and that as long as there is no bleeding I should relax. So I am just trying to calm myself down.

Kiara I am also "a high risk pregnancy" I am so sorry to hear about your loss, and I know how it feels as I have had two Mc's so I went in for my first scan last week monday when I was 5 weeks and then went back on thursday because the cramps were really really bad....(like rolling on the floor) kind of bad

I just chatted to him today about my multi vitamin and I was wondering if perhaps that could be causing it I was taking pregnacare original. So now I am only going to take the folic acid. O ja and I am also on cyclogest it's a natural progesterone that the dr prescribed and a precautionary measure.

So I am praying that these cramps will subside. Aslo ladies I have a retroverted uterus do you think this could be causing the pain?

Hi Lindy,

I've been having cramps the past week, but I put it down to all the nausea (and throwing up ) as well as not feeling to good over all and all the coughing.

Also, I remember with my 1st pregnancy the pains from ligaments stretching.. I think thats what it was.. LOL

Congrats on your pregnancy!

Hi Lindy,

I had very bad cramps around 5 to 6 weeks. One day I was actually rolling on my bathroom floor but there was no bleeding. My doctor also told me that it's normal as long as there's no bleeding.

On that note, also listen to your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable at all, see your doctor. At 6 weeks, they can do a scan and maybe even see heartbeat...

Good luck!

Hi ladies

I am not due in Oct or Nov but in December. I was hoping maybe cause u ladies have got some experience you can give me some advice. I am now 6 weeks preggies and have got really really bad stomach cramps......no bleeding at all though, a little bit of nausea but that could be from the pain and the sensitive bb's but not bad at all.

Did you ladies have any cramps in early pregnancy?

Hi Christi,

I hope you get better soon! Not nice to have ms and the flu!

Is the ASIC working for you? It didn't work at all for me. I have to suffer with ms on a daily basis. The only thing that helps is eating, but that's also not good. Don't know what to do...

I've had 2 scans already because I'm considered high risk (previous MC). First one at 5 weeks to make sure the gestation sac is in the right place and right size. Then at 7 weeks and we saw the heartbeat which was just priceless. Next app is on the 29th April and it feels a million weeks away!

Hi Ladies,

I'm in bed since Saturday with an awful Sinus/Flu. Only got Panado & ACC200 to take as doc said 9weeks is critical for development and she doesn't want to take any unnessesary risks with antibiotics.

MS is still awful! Taking Asic religiously and also taking Folic Acid.

Only got a app at the gynae for the 10th of May when I'll be 12.5weeks. Hopefully then we will see our LO.

Welcome to all the new ladies, enjoy the journey...

Hi Chippie! Welcome to the forum. I hope more people will join and we can have more action in here.

14 weeks! Congrats. Were you planning it? How and when did you find out? How are you feeling? MS?

I'm dying to have someone to share this journey with and share advice and experiences.
