♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

W8i g that is fantastic, ahhh I am so envious! My u/s is at the very end of this month. It feels so far away! But hopefully we'll see a nice healthy bub and at 9ish weeks should look very "baby" like. Ong I still can't believe #3 is on the way!

Mwel, if you know when your ovulation date is, go back 2 weeks from that as your last cycle start date. Drs go off a 28 day cycle when they calculate due date (two weeks follicular phase, 2 weeks luteal phase).

My SIL ovulated late in her cycle; I told her the above and told her they will probably tell her the baby measures small at her first ultrasound by a week or so. Sure enough he was about 9 days behind and she freaked out lol; i was like did you not listen to me?! Hahah. He was fine, they moved his due date at a later ultrasound and he is happy smiley little 8 month old now!

Randa how far along are you? Can you go in for an urgent appointment for reassurance?

I hope all is well Randa I got my fingers and toes crossed for you

 

[RandaPanda]

Thanks!

Gigglebox, I'm 7+1 today. Since I'm not bleeding, I know nothing will be done. I'll just try to be patient and hope for the best on Thurs.

Okay my back has been hurting a lot. Mostly when i wake up but then sometimes throughout the day. Thinking about getting one of those pregnancy pillows. Thoughts?

 

[gigglebox]

I hear good things but I personally wasn't a fan. I just use a body pillow. My friend had one of those wedge pillows that she swore by, started using it before an obvious bump and continued using it the whole pregnancy.

 

[Kiwiberry]

I never went with a pregnancy pillow, but I did use a body pillow and loved it!! Used it all through my pregnancies.

Visiting family and will tell them the big news tonight at dinner! But also, had some spotting and cramps today. It seems like every week about this time I have cramps and spotting, like the baby grows extra on Sundays or something. I always have a minor freak out, this time was more red than last time, but still only a drop on my panty liner so I guess that doesn’t qualify as very much to panic over. It’s the cramps that freak me out. But they seem to have mostly subsided....please send me positive vibes! I’m 8 weeks today.

 

[gigglebox]

Nova have you told your ob? Might be worrh mentioning. That said i've had cramping every pregnancy and spotting with ds1 so it can definitely be normal.

I told them during my last appointment that I had some light spotting. I’m visiting family out of state and I’m not sure if my insurance covers anything in this area...otherwise I would totally make an appointment just to double check things are fine. The bleeding is extremely light, doesn’t leave anything on the panty liner, but has been consistently there every time I wipe since this afternoon. Same with the cramps. They’ve been here basically all day but haven’t gotten any worse. I’m worried but trying to be outwardly calm.

Told the family tonight, we had lots of happy tears. I’m really hoping everything is fine. I didn’t have any bleeding with my first so of course anything different makes me worry.

 

[Kiwiberry]

NovaStar, good luck hun, I hope all is ok . I know what you mean about insurance, I'm in that boat right now because I'm in a different state. I'm hoping that since it happens every week that it's normal for you, it doesn't sound like a MC because the bleeding would quickly move to heavy and the cramps would move it even quicker I would imagine. So happy all went well with telling the family!!

Nova i experienced something similar with my dd. I know I had implantation spotting a week before my period was due and then brownish discharge when af would have shown. I bled from my 8 week scan and then had cramps for a while too. The cramps ended up being from the ligaments stretching and then every once in a while if see some dots of red blood but never enough to need a pad or panty liner. She's now 2.5 and a handful but id bring it up to see if you can get a scan.
Randa i hope all is well for you and you ha

Continued...
Randa i hope all is going well for you and you haven't had any more cramps or started bleeding. It's nerve wracking i know.
Afm my dd is refusing to poop...so fun and I am feeling rather normal. Still peeing a lot, tired, some pain in my books especially when breast feeding and I'm getting anxious for my appointment. 8 days and counting. Assuming it all goes well we will announce to my family sometime over the weekend. I hope everyone was a good week and I'll update again next week after my appointment

 

[cheeky92x]

Hope everyone is doing ok I'm around 6 weeks and the nausea is starting to kick in now Although seems to be a lot worse as soon as I wake up and wears off if I continue to snack all day Gonna be the size of a house by the end of January!!

 

[NovaStar]

I’m still bleeding. It’s still not heavy enough to leave much on the pad, and it stopped at night, but when I woke up and sat on the toilet, I still wipe red. It’s like a constant flow. But only leaves tiny dots on my pad. The cramps stopped last night and now I’m scared because my boobs don’t hurt as much. They usually are less painful in the morning, so I’ll see if they start up hurting again later today. I’m scared....really scared. I’m thinking about going to planned parenthood for a scan because they are inexpensive and nearby. I just don’t know. I know some miscarriages take days and day....if you are the praying type....please pray for me.

 

[Kiwiberry]

NovaStar, my thoughts are with you hun . My boobies hurt on and off all the time too. I hope it's just a normal thing for you love. it's a good idea to get checked out so I would go to Planned Parenthood. It will at the most ease your mind.

cheeky92x, it's the same for me hun, try doing some cardio to help with the snacking.

Babybum35, good luck at the appointment next week and I'm looking forward to the update!

Nova how far along are you? Yes i'd say book an u/s if you can get in just to see what's going on. Very promising you don't have heavy bleeding nor bad cramping. You're in my thoughts hon

I’m 8 weeks. My boobs hurt now, so that’s good I think. Still bleeding lightly and slight cramps again (more like pressure or discomfort). I’m just trying to get the courage to tell my parents that this is happening and I want to go in for a scan. I just told them yesterday I’m pregnant, how sad if things turned south this quickly.
