♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

[Emsabub]

Sorry girls it’s been a hectic few days! One of my friends had a baby girl and I couldn’t wait to see her 😍

Mwel I know it was 3 days ago but a massage sounds amazing! Did it do anything for you in the end?

Er that is a cute photo! Sorry I took so long to respond

Nova how much longer have you got left of 1st tri? I’m sure the relief when it’s done will be amazing!

Kiwi I’m so glad you’ve been able to eat better now! Fingers crossed you’ve got further into getting it sorted now

Babybum I can sympathise, the constant peeing is horrible. Especially during the night when you’re comfortable in bed! When will you get to hear the HB?

Molly hiii! Do you know baby’s a she already?! How far are you? Those sea bands have worked for a friend of mine before. I wanted to try them for a long car journey next week but I don’t know. The sugary food too, oh my god can’t get enough of it without being pregnant but it’s creeping back in now haha!

Missmarple fingers crossed this is it! The symptoms sound promising though, it all settles down eventually and the fun begins 😍

I’m 11w 5d now and just caught the heartbeat! Calculated at 174bpm so not sure if that’s too high or alright, time will tell I guess!
I did see an old wives tale high rates *can* mean a girl.. I hope so!!

Hey! I had been worried about my dates being off, had another scan on Thursday and am now only measuring about 4 days behind and heart still beating away back in for another scan in 3 weeks at 12 weeks to get an official edd! I was sooo convinced something was wrong and that I was going to be told I had a missed miscarriage again but thankfully all is looking well

 

[MissMarpleFan]

Emsa, here’s the fetal heart rate chart by week I found: “https://goo.gl/images/3Ltq1t” (remove quotes, I don’t have enough posts to post a link yet)

My baby was 170 bpm at 8 weeks, 0 days - my ultrasound tech called it an overachiever. It was 120 at 6 w, 6 days.

If I get another good one on Thursday, maybe I can try to relax a little? I feel like a complete basket case. My others stopped growing somewhere between 6-7 weeks. I spotted every day with those but not this time!

It’s nice to have you ladies to type to because my husband is soooo sick of hearing about it! Sigh. Men don’t understand.

 

[gigglebox]

Men really don't get it. Not their fault but very frustrating! I was trying to explain it to my hubs, how for them it's pretty abstract until they see our bellies grow HUGE. For us we are already concerned for their every wellbeing the second we see that second line on a stick!

Anyway glad to hear y'all are hearing & seeinng everything going fine my first u/s is Thursday and I am soooo neevous and excited! Even still I plan to try and find the hb again tonight I haven't tried the past couple of days. I am still not holding out hope but it's fun to try!

Emsa, mine was in the 170s last time I had a scan at 9 weeks. My doc said it was strong and perfect.

Thanks to the tons of iron I’m taking for the anemia, I got super constipated. TMI? Haha, but we got some milk of magnesia and I’m feeling much better, lol! I have also found that I get way more nauseous if I’m hungry, so have to remember to eat every couple of hours.

So glad I have you ladies! The hubs does act like he cares about all this, but it’s good to vent to you guys and give him a break every now and then.

 

[MollyMoon]

No I don't know lol I'm just calling it she till we find out cause I feel it's a girl but I'd happy for a boy too! I'm 10w4d. I am struggling with food last two weeks nauseated just looking at it or thinking of it. And I don't know what to eat.

 

[mwel8819]

Hi to all and congrats!! I haven't had a chance to come check in lately.
I'm due Jan 15 and this is my first. She was definitely a surprise! So excited!

I'm experiencing alot of fatigue, sore nips, and nausea that gets worse after I eat
I work ft btw which is a struggle with fatigue and nausea
Has anyone tried those seabands?
Looking forward to chatting with you all

Ps.. I also am repulsed by sugary foods right now lol which is opposite of me normally

Hey Molly! Yep, all those same symptoms for me as well. I haven't tried the seabands but peppermint seems to help others. Water helps me. And oddly enough if I smell a lemony cleaning product it will take the nausea right away.

I am praying to make it to the finish line for the first time. If I do, I think it’s around Jan 29.

I had never felt so nauseated in my whole life. I got sea bands, and I’m wearing them almost all of the time. They help, but they don’t take you to “normal.” I will say the name brand ones are better than the drug store brand I bought first. My doctor prescribed Diclegis too, and that also helps, but it makes me even more tired I think.

At 8 weeks, I’m just starting to get my appetite back, I’ve lost 5 pounds!

All I want to eat is junk food alternated with meals of fruit or carrot sticks with cottage cheese. I’ve been fantasizing about loaded cheese fries all day!

I pray all of this weirdness is sign that I finally have a good one. I’ve had two very promising sonos in a row and got “graduated” from my specialist to the regular ob/gyn.

Cheese fries was one of my first cravings and still sound good to me. lol! Congrats on your graduation That is great news!

 

[mwel8819]

We announced on facebook so I thought I would share with you ladies!

 

[gigglebox]

Mwel how on earth did you discover the cleaning products trick for nausea?! Too funny.

Your announcement is adorable!!! I'm still trying to figure out how we'll make the news public. I have my first scan on Thursday; assuming all is well I'll let family start spilling to whoever they want to tell (like relatives they want to tell vs dinding out on spcial media) then i'll do a public post in a few days I guess. That'll give me the weekend to take pictures or make a video or whatever.

My uterus feels so big now and my nips are sore and boobs are FINALLY growing (just a little...they're not too big ever pregnant or not). So confident things are growing well, just still nervous that bub is healthy. Fx

 

[MissMarpleFan]

Lemonade is really good for nausea too.

 

[gigglebox]

I found baby's heartbeat on the doppler! I heard it for about 10 seconds then leaned over to grab my phone to record it and count beats and i lost hb and couldn't find it again at least i heard it! I mean i had no real doubts there's a baby in there but it was pretty cool hearing it to hear it ya know? Not for reassurance necessarily.

That’s great! I’m afraid I’m a bad candidate for a Doppler because I’d freak out even more if I couldn’t find it. Not sure if I’ll continue to get scheduled for weekly scans by the regular ob/gyn after this week since I’m high risk (age, early m/c history, no thyroid) but I hope so.

I have a husband story. We went for dinner last night with friends, one of whom patted my belly and said I’m showing a little bump. I said “See? I told you my belly is showing” and he said “your belly always shows.”
Grrrrrrrrr.

My Prince Charming, LOL.

 

[mwel8819]

Miss- I would kill him. Haha! Oddly enough I had a friend of my SIL touch my belly last week. I was like, ummm no, that is not okay. Haha!


Giggle- Thanks! It was fun doing them and then we went on a boat!!! I'm so glad your scan is this week. Can't wait to see the little bean! Yours will have limbs and such though, isn't that right?

So last time I was pregnant, they would clean the floors every morning before people got to work and when I would come in I would be nauseated and go to get me a drink and would just stand and take in the smell for a bit and it would go away. haha!

Yay for finding the heartbeat. I knew you could!!! I plan on doing that again today. The last few times it has been high in the 170's so we will see!

 

[gigglebox]

That's too funny about the floor cleaner! What a welcome coincidence.

Yes, baby should have some limbs in what i call the "gummy bear stage". I'll be sure to post pics

OMG Miss! I'd be livid!!! Once from hubby and again for having someone touch my bump. That is such a peeve of mine UNTIL bump is enormous. Otherwise i just feel like they're rubbing my chunk -.-

 

[NovaStar]

Miss! That’s terrible! Hahaha! Omg....men are so ridiculous.
Mine started acting all sick last night and I felt so bad because I had zero sympathy. I’m like...I feel like crap all the dang time, I can’t eat anything without feeling unsatisfied and nauseous, I’m exhausted from my extreme anemia and consipated from all the iron I have to take, the house is a mess and I feel 100% responsible, I don’t ever want to make dinner, I don’t want to go out and my daughter is getting a little stir crazy....and he comes home and mopes around like his life is hard? His job is sitting behind a desk. And I feel terrible that I’m unsympathetic. Ugh.....I just feel off.

11 weeks down...

Right there with ya. My husband will come home and mope like he has had the worst day EVER. I'm like, oh really? Get over it. I'm nauseated 60% of the day with migraines. Haha!

 

[MissMarpleFan]

Mine thinks I’m being lazy. Insensitive boob.

He’s used to being my baby, I’ve spoiled him.

 

[treeroot]

I totally lost it with mine the other day. I just snapped. I had been expressing the tiredness/anxiety of how I was feeling and why I was cranky. Anyway, he said something along the lines of "well you're being a bit unreasonable"...and...well... I certainly became unreasonable after that lol. I stormed out of the room (I think I yelled something like "why don't you become pregnant then" lol) and went and laid down. All was good later that evening. He really is a great guy...but has a hard time with empathy so he often can't relate to how I'm feeling...or get a clue when he's about to set me off!
Yea for pregnancy hormones

 

[NovaStar]

Glad I’m not the only one! I feel so icky today, I’m starving and nauseous and I just want him to come home so I can hermit away in the bedroom while he takes over with the kiddo. I feel so lazy...and yet there’s a reason, lol. I just wish I could feel good for one day so I can get some stuff done- like cleaning. Seriously. Our home is a MESS.
