Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Dear kbg,
first of all congratulations on your pregnancy!

Remind me when was the last we communicated? I tried to recollect and I could not, not that I would remember each case by heart but most of the time I am good to remember recent discussion(s).

I think you should hold on planning travel until one more month, in the next vist (4 weeks later) you will be able to hear fetus heart and also know about blood work. Once you get blood work you will know the progesterone levels. I think after completing first trimester depending on progesterone and placenta situation we can discuss on your air travel. Hope this is going to be OK.

You should join October 2006 expectants and benefit from others experience as well.

hi archie!!!
hru? myself fine but not fine...i have been lying for 3 dys in bed n my body from neck to foot is sore. I feel like going out n running a stretch to get things in my body right. regarding the bleeding, it is not like the 4th day but i get atleast 1 or 2 spots daily. actually, when i went to a doc here, he actually got us frightened. i knew this was normal after reading posts in ur site n ur reassurances to many people. but it was first for my husband. he got terribly worried. actually the doctors here have miscarriages as a normal chore. so when my bleeding started we got a half hour lecture that it can be an abortion case, its not fault of mother or father, it is because of ill-formed fetus..etc..etc. u should have seen my husbands face when he was explaining what the doc told ...it was so sickening..i felt i wud throttle this doc mans neck..i was quite composed as i read a lot about it in your site...after coming home i had to speak to husband and console him ..but still he was worried and put me into bed rest from day to nite for 1 week..now 3 days are gone..4 more. now u know what i mean when i say i have only you to turn for my doubts. i am supposed to take 3 tablets 3 times a day. n 1 more thing...my nausea has started and i dont feel like eating ANYTHING...not even orange juice ..i get those burps with orange juice taste. right now comfortable only with buttermilk. can you suggest some indian foods which i will try to make here if i get the contents. also, my mom says avoid salt as she had water blogging when she was carrying me and is afraid that i will take after her. my mom-in-law says not to eat spice..and i am in no position to eat sweet...so what do i eat? please suggest. my nausea starts late in the day. is it ok?
i am sorry archie for troubling you. but cant help it.

some spotting is normal in first trimester. It might be due to low lying placenta, lower amounts of progesterone and also vaginal dryness.
try to drink at least 10-12 glass of water per day.
complete bed rest.
give call to your Ob to see all is fine with developing life.

hi archie!!!
thanq so much for your wishes. I am the one from japan. well, i had some more questions...
i had bleeding since yesterday 3 times ...it was maroon in color, no pains n cramps and the amount was same as i used to have during my 4th day of periods. Is this ok? I have been in total bed rest today n its come to have only spots of blood now. could there be any problem with my fetus like not forming properly or something else? or is this bleeding common and will i be expecting more of this more often during my pregnancy term?
sorry archie for troubling u again!!!!
bye n take care.
regards,
kbg
