♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

[Babybum35]

Hi. Can I join??? I am cautiously 5 weeks preggers with number two. I have my first ultra sound in just about 2.5 weeks and with very few symptoms I can't wait.

Hi Babybum Congratulations!

Kiwiberry, I'm so sorry! I was MIA all day today with work, kindergarten orientation for my oldest, and we found a deer tick embedded in his head after spending the holiday weekend at the cottage. Our cottage is in a high lyme disease area, so off to the doctor we went today! I would normally try to respond, and definitely really appreciate how you take the time to respond to each of us and make us feel included. Like what emsabub was saying, sometimes I come online and feel a bit of sadness that no one has replied or acknowledged what I've said. I do think it's a combo of things though - busy work/mom lives, pregnancy sickness and exhaustion keeping us all down, a fast moving thread, and I think first trimester really makes us turn our feelings inward a bit because everything feels so intense for each one of us (the excitement, the fear of complications, etc.) - I try to remind myself of that when I'm feeling a little overlooked I'm also sorry to hear you're suffering with depression and it's made worse by pregnancy I used to suffer fairly high anxiety, but had it under control for years, and now suddenly in this pregnancy it's been popping up randomly and nearly paralyzing me with fear! I don't know if it's hormonal, due to my fear of another loss, or the realization that dh and I will be outnumbered and even more exhausted if baby #3 makes it earthside! In any case, I'm so grateful to have a group to chat with and get through the tough early stages together, and we owe that to you

[Emsabub]

Crusher .. maternity clothes?! Oh my god that’s exciting! I cannot wait to start getting some more 😁😁

Panda completely agree! When people are coming and going it’s so hard to keep up.

Welcome Babybum!

Lexi that’s exciting I can’t believe how fast that’s gone! Good luck for today and let us know

Kiwi hope you’re doing okay today ❤️

I went and rang the midwife yesterday girls.. I didn’t get moaned at yaaaay! Booking in appointment is next Tuesday 😁😁

 

[crusherwife44]

Emsa yes maternity clothes!! Life got crazy for awhile and our marriage wasn't good so hubs said no more kids. We got rid of everything! So I'm starting from scratch. Crazy me started shopping at 4 weeks on the day lol

 

[Lexi's Mummy]

Ladies!!!!!!! It's twins!! 2 healthy heartbeats. Overjoyed right now will try add a pic xx

 

[Lexi's Mummy]

That should have done it xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

Babybum35, welcome to the group hun!! What's your EDD so I can add you to the list!!!

RandaPanda, thanks hun
How's your son doing? Is he Ok? I know what you mean about anxiety, sadly I suffer with that too (they call it PNES, psychogenic non-epileptic seizures). Along with BPD, but I haven't had one in two months!! It's really a miracle, I had them at least once a month. I don't even want to imagine what will happen if I haver a seizure during pregnancy . I hope things are going well for you and that your little boy is ok from the tick

Emsabub, yay!!! So happy for you, and that you didn't get yelled at this time!! What happens at a booking in appointment, do you get an ultrasound??

Lexi's Mummy, omg I knew it yay!!! . I've always dreamed what it would be like to have twins, congrats mama!!!! Lovely scan too .

AFM, I've been very feverish feeling but no temp, is this normal ladies? I'm worried it's a bad sign .

 

[Emsabub]

Aaaahh oh my god Lexi that’s brilliant! Congratulations!!

Kiwi I thought you were in the UK too for some reason 🤔 the booking appointment here is when you go and speak to the midwife about previous pregnancies, any risk factors, fathers risk factors.. it takes about an hour believe it or not You get given some green notes that have your midwife and hospital phone numbers and then your scan is arranged for 12 weeks. Unless it’s special circumstances you don’t get one before 12 weeks

Lexi that’s amazing! How many weeks are you right now? How do you feel? I would be excited and nervous...but you got time to prepare for it! This is so exciting.

 

[Lexi's Mummy]

Lexi that’s amazing! How many weeks are you right now? How do you feel? I would be excited and nervous...but you got time to prepare for it! This is so exciting.

By my calculations I'm 6weeks and 4. I feel totally overwhelmed. I guess I jist didn't actually expect both yolks to develop! But I saw 2 perfect heartbeats! In respect to how I feel physically... tired! Very tired lol! And sick... I'm not usually sick until around 8 weeks or so so that was unusual for me to be sick at 5 weeks! Also I'm starving! Like alllll the time. But no actual desire to eat. Everything tastes fine but I just don't fancy anything lol x

 

[crusherwife44]

Yay lexi!!!!! I hope we are having twins too lol.
A fever? Thats no good!! Sleep it off.
Today we just said what the hey and told everyone but work basically lol

 

[W8tingforbaby]

Congrats Lexi!!!!

 

[going_crazy]

Sorry.... bit late catching up with the thread.... kiwi, I hope you're feeling better in yourself, I'm also sorry as I am awful at replying at the best of times and i always seem to accidentally forget to include someone.... it's not my intention and I'm going to try and keep up with everyone!! I think you've done a great job keeping the thread active and up to date
As for feeling feverish.... I think it's pretty normal, just your body adjusting but if you don't start feeling better over the next week, maybe get checked out? Don't think it's a 'bad' sign, but you might be trying to fight an infection or illness yourself xx

Lexi - wow and congratulations!!

Crusher - how did it feel telling everyone?? I really want to but I'm so unsure. Definitely going you wait until next scan at least

Welcome babybum!

Emsabub - glad you didn't get yelled at and that you've got your appointment

Randapanda - hope your son is ok.... I know ticks can cause all sorts of problems

AFM - slight nausea kicked in this morning, not had any more spotting since Wednesday so hoping thats a good sign now, got follow up scan on Wednesday which I'm really not looking forward to as I have a feeling its not going to be good news.... I can't get over the worry of 1st tri.... it's really getting me down tbh! I kind of just want to enjoy it but all I keep thinking is the worst.

Anyway... wishing all the January snowdrops the best and hoping 2nd tri comes round quickly!!

 

[crusherwife44]

It felt good telling. Just told the few grandparents and know they will spread it around like fire.
Try to enjoy and be excited with what's going on. I hope you only get good news!

 

[gigglebox]

Hi all, hope you don't mind me thread crashing! I've just made the cut off - due 1/31 hoping for a vba2c, but it's not in my favor. Had a failed vbac with ds2

Going--i had spotting in my first pregnancy. Isn't it nerve wrecking?! But he's 6 now and playing video games while I rest right now sooooo tired!

Regarding telling people, we have already told my brother and a couple extremely close friends. We'll be telling hubby 's side of the family this weekend i think and tell my follks next week. If anything goes wrong, i want to still have this time to celebrate it! No point in living in worry. Anyway I'm still trying to keep it limited to people I can tell bad news to if I have to. No public announcement until after a good scan!

 

[Jingles23]

Can I join? I'm due somewhere around Jan 26. Waiting for my first ultrasound in 3 weeks to confirm dates. This will be baby #5 and is kinda a surprise. But we're excited!!

 

[Babybum35]

Thank you for the warm welcome. I think I'm due January 24 but most likely will be induced around the 3rd... I had pid with my first so I can only imagine I will experience the same with this one. My first appointment is 2 weeks from Tuesday and I am counting down mostly because I seem to be experiencing symptoms differently and I don't have any reassurance tests ( I went through 7 tests when I found out cause I couldn't believe after a year it just happened).
Lexi congrats on the twins that's awesome. Everyone else I hope you have an awesome week and kiwi it's really hard I think for a big group to always feel close knit. I know I've often been in groups where I feel left out so I kind of leave my posts as ways to vent and talk about concerns rather than anything else. We've told some friends and co workers but won't be saying much to family til after my appointment mostly cause we aren't close and I really just don't want them to know..
Anyways have a happy day

 

[crusherwife44]

Oh boy... I just ate lunch and immediately had to unbutton my pants.....

 

[W8tingforbaby]

Welcome to all the new ladies and congrats.

I can’t wait until Friday I have my first ultrasound, I’ll be 6 weeks!
