♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

[Emsabub]

Gigglebox and jingles congratulations and welcome im sure kiwi will be along soon to add you both to the due date list!

Crusher that sounds so familiar .. probably not bump yet though for us is it Or maybe?!

W8ting that’ll soon come around! The last few weeks since this group was started has flown by, we’ll be knowing our genders soon

I’ve had to tie up my jeans with a hairband today girls. I couldn’t keep them buttoned up it was just too tight ☹️ Also wishy-washy belly pleeeeease go away, or the norovirus is still lingering.

 

[APG1992]

Hey ladies, I’ve been MIA with commenting but reading silently along. Hope everyone is well! Today marks 8 weeks!!! Yay! Symptoms wise..... lots of nausea but I’m always hungry. It’s the weirdest thing! I’m definitely bloated and tired all the time. My pants are already getting snug!!! Got my first official prenatal appointment on June 18th where they will do all the bloodwork, Pap smear, etc. I also have a CVS set up for June 21st which I’m super scared about but due to previous complications in my last pregnancy, we have to have this baby checked genetically. So I’m praying hard for a healthy baby! Other than that, all is well and time is flying!

Congratulations on the twins!!! That’s super exciting!!!!

 

[Emsabub]

APG I was reading back and wondered where you’d gone! Glad to hear everything is going well

 

[crusherwife44]

Emsa i know its probably just "bloating" and that's what everyone will say but things ARE growing in there and pushing other things out so even though its not baby its because of baby. This is #3 so i may be giving into maternity clothes early

 

[Emsabub]

Girls theres a massive storm here right now 😭 it’s 2:38am and it’s been going on for half an hour! So terrified of the thunder and lightning

.

Omg we are having a huge storm here, too. Tons of thunder and lightning but it’s only 10:30 where I am! Crazy!

 

[countryblonde]

Hey ladies! Welcome to the newbies..trying to catch up.. I've been at work for the last 3 days and I find things get to busy to try and keep up on here!

Kiwi, how are you doing? Hubby and I have had some hard times the last couple years and I know how challenging that can be.

Crusher and emas I'm right there with you.. totally busted out a hair elastic to do up my shorts last night.. it feel ridiculous since I'm not even 8 weeks, but I guess that's what baby number 3 does for you... I will be breaking out the mat clothes soon for sure.. they are way more comfortable.

Lexi so exciting about the twins! I think that would be so crazy!

We have told quite a few people as well... Never been good at keeping it to ourselves.. we will however not being telling my work or anyone else until I have my ultrasound. Which I totally can't wait for...I have almost no symptoms most of the time and I'm really looking forward to that reassurance.

 

[gigglebox]

Omg y'all aren't kidding, the bloat struggle is real! I am not having any averaions yet and thinking about juice fasting for a day or two just to try and reduce this bloat! It's so uncomfortable!

APG good luck with your appointment. I had a CVS done with ds1 due to complications (linked in my signature) and it was seriously traumatic, but I think mostly because my mom was with me and being an absolute spaz and I wasn't sure what to expect. My uterus contracted when the needle hit it and that sucked. But it was all ok in the end and his testing all came back normal Hoping everything goes well for you!

Ems & Nova we get the COOLEST lightning here! I absolutely love lightning but when it strikes close and it's so loud that's when it becomes terrifying lol

 

[Kiwiberry]

going_crazy, so happy to hear the spotting has stopped. I know first tri is super stressful, on nausea, who needs it am I right? Just from this thread alone spotting seems normal, but I know that won't stop the worrying. I can't wait to hear how the ultrasound goes, I bet it's going to be great news and you'll get to see your little baby growing nicely .

gigglebox, good luck with telling everyone!! Btw, congrats and I added you to the list! Welcome to our group!! How did your brother take thbe news? Good luck with the fasting, if you have any tips for fighting the hormone hunger let me know, I'm struggling over here and I really don't want to gain fat .

Jingles23, Welcome to the group!! Congratulations on your little surprise too!! I added you to the list, I'll update everyone's EDD after ultrasounds if it's provided to me .

Babybum35, I updated and added you to the list!! I'm sorry you and your family aren't close, I know how that feels unfortunately .

crusherwife44, oh yeah.... my belly gets bigger after I eat too, we just can't win can we . nauseous on an empty stomach and nauseous after we eat too.... I read that water can help with the overeating and the nausea but so far it's not working for me....... oh and you're not alone on the maternity clothes part, I'm feeling that way too. I'm going to give it a couple more weeks and see how far I can get with my regular clothes.

W8tingforbaby, how did the ultrasound go? Unless you mean next Friday lol. I lose track of time

Emsabub, my belly is acting wishy washy too, especially after I eat. How are you feeling now, the virus gone nokw?? I'm also terrified of lighting . Hope the storm wasnt too bad damage wise.

countryblonde, thanks hun I'm doing okay. When is the ultrasound scheduled for, I forgot . My memory is so bad LOL. How did it go telling everyone?

APG1992, I'm glad everything is going well!! What's a CVS? I know it's a couple weeks away but I hope your appointments go well . What happened last time if you don't mind me asking? I'm really sorry if you've already told us, my memory is horrible.

AFM: Nothing new to report here other than I'm still feeling feverish but I don't have a temperature. So I'm assuming it's part of pregnancy for me.

 

[Babybum35]

Thanks Kiwi
Esma and Nova- hopefully the storm passed thats rough.

I too am in the bloat boat. I seriously look 4 months pregnant and Im just over 5 weeks. Whats funny is I still have regular poops so its not really that as much as I think that I just tend to show really early. I looked very pregnant at 4 months with my dd and now that I am 30 pounds heavier I look that much bigger. Ive tried continuing zumba but some of the classes are so high intensity I am worried about miscarrying.. the first trimester is so rough... I am gonna ask dh if we can get some maternity pants or shorts today so mine dont cut off my circulation then I gotta find someone to go walking with me otherwise my dd just wants to be carried and she is too heavy for me to keep carrying all the time. I also have almost started crying at the stupidest things, but still no morning sickness, just acid reflux and maybe some boob changes- at least it has started hurting when I breast feed my toddler.... I just hope this pregnancy ends well. I am freaked out about the idea of miscarriage or missed miscarriage... I hate that those are things, but at least they are not the most likely outcome right???

 

[Kiwiberry]

Babybum35, As soon as I can my boyfriend and I are going to work out at the gym. I hear that cardio along with yoga work really well to help keep the weight gain down. I'm planning to at least walk 6 miles a day. Once we are out of this extended stay hotel and have our own place I'm definitely going to be doing a lot of cleaning to help keep the weight off as well. I know, I'm constantly worried about a missed miscarriage myself . these early weeks really are the worst stress wise . I've already noticed my sciatica acting up in my legs, which is so unusual for me because the last two pregnancies it didn't start to show itself until at least the second trimester.

 

[W8tingforbaby]

Kiwi-My ultrasound is this coming Friday June 1st

 

[gigglebox]

Kiwi, thanks I haven't dealt with the intense cravings and hormonal eating yet so i'm of no help how to deal. I know it's coming though, it's been the very consistent symptom both successful pregnancies.

My brother congratulated me but I think he was shocked as our youngest just turned 1. He and his wife are trying so I feel a little guilty for being pregnant with our third before they have their first...oh well. She is due for af next week so I'm keeping hope that we'll be pregnant together which would be really cool!

 

[Kiwiberry]

gigglebox, Fx for your brothers sister.


W8tingforbaby, oh ok, well only a few more days!!

 

[NovaStar]

Gigglebox, I know that feeling (being on the other side of it). We struggled to get pregnant with #2 and I had friends getting pregnant with 2, 3 and 4 within those two years. Not 4 babies in two years, meaning some of my friends had their fourth in the time it took us to have just one and try for #2. But honestly, it’s okay. The sadness isn’t your fault and they know that, and I’m sure you’re sympathetic which is always nice.

I’m 7 weeks today! My first appointment is in two days, on Tuesday. I’m excited and nervous, I hope everything looks good. Today I got lightheaded and had to chill in bed most of the morning. Luckily the hubs is home and can take care of our daughter while I laze around.

We will be traveling to California on Friday, then on Sunday we are having a big family dinner and I’m going to tell everyone! I’ll be 8 weeks pregnant. It feels like I’ve been keeping this secret for so long! I can’t wait. This week will be good. An appointment and telling the fam.

 

[W8tingforbaby]

So I am two weeks out from my wedding today and the nausea hit me like a ton of bricks, had to stop what I was doing and sit down. Such an awful feeling, hopefully I can survive my wedding without puking but we shall see because there isn't a whole lot of sitting happening that day lol. I remember this from being pregnant with my daughter and I will say nausea hasn't been as bad this time around, I'll be just about 8 weeks at my wedding.

 

[gigglebox]

Nova, i've been on the other side too which i think makes me more empathetic to her. When we were ttc #2, three of my friends at the time announced pregnancies. I finally got pregnant but miscarried and didn't get pregnant again until two of the three gave birth. It was rough because we'd have larties and those three would always take bump pics together, and i'd mourn my loss every time.

W8 hope it stays at bay and doesn't hit at your wedding!

 

[deltadawn1987]

Hi can I please join I’m due January 22nd x

 

[crusherwife44]

Cant suck it in all the way anymore... 6 weeks today

 

[treeroot]

I might follow along a bit in case my due date gets changed when I have my first appointments. Right now I put it on Feb 2, So I'd say there's a 50/50 chance of what month I give birth in
