My sickness gradually went away, but I also don't really feel any symptoms now, just waiting to start feeling some kicks for reassurance.
I feel so exhausted today though, how are you managing with other kids too? I think I've been pushing myself to keep the kids entertained but today I just want to sleep!
Well, after over 8 straight weeks of feeling freaking awful and hardly being able to function (spending the majority miserable in bed)... I woke up today feeling pretty normal. And today I didn’t really feel pregnant at all. It’s soooo weird. I almost feel smaller too. I’m still exhausted, but I’ve been in bed most of the last 2 months... I’ve had a few very brief breaks (single digits over many weeks) where I almost felt ok for a few hours but it always came back with a vengeance- nothing close to an entire day!! (Currently 14.5 weeks, so about time.) our last scan was less than a week ago and all was well- no concerning symptoms currently...
did your morning sickness suddenly disappear or was it gradual? (I thought I was sick in other pregnancies, but it was never anything close to this, so I can’t really compare!)
Should have known it was too good to be true. Feeling rough this afternoon and evening
also found out my blood has an antibody that the baby has a 50% chance of having the type that my blood would attack, so will be closely monitored for that. (My husband was tested once the antibody was found in me, which gave us the 50. Think genetic square from HS.) Hopefully the baby is the same as me!
No- not Rh (DH and I have the same blood type). e-antigen (I have anti-E which means I’ve already been exposed to it at some point. Sadly no shot to help- just monitoring and potentially a blood transfusion for the baby while still inside if it gets really bad and too early for it to be born. So still hoping for that 50% chance the baby has the same type as me!
They don’t want to do an amnio because of the risk of crossing blood, so they’re going to just monitor blood flow and signs of anemia and my titers- so they may be able to figure out if those start showing signs of issues, but otherwise no plans to find out bc of the risk.
@doggylover hi lovely thank you for asking after me I've had so many hypos spoke to my diabetic nurse she told me to drop my insulin for that reason, then if I keep having them then to keep dropping until I get the right amount which I sort of new anyway had a gender scan sat for my mam to find out but they sent a video and sure I see a little something there but here are the pics xx
