I was thinking once we are all further along, maybe 6 months or so, I want to arrange a gift exchange for all of the Watermellon Smugglers who are interested. Sort of like a Secret Santa and then we can all send our person a $20 or less gift or something. What do you all think?

that sounds like fun!

that does sound like fun

What's the name of the group? as no one on FB knows we are preg. yet....

I just started a group! Just sent my FB link to everyone. When you add me on FB, I will add you to the group!

It's called watermelon smugglers but it's a secret group so u can't even see it unless you're in it.

Hello everyone! I am only really on during the day so i always seem to miss everyone
I agree about the later scans. I had my first at 12wks (the only choice i had) I worried enough about the baby in the first 12wks I can't even imagine what i would have been like if i had a scan without a heartbeat?!?!?!
It was nice being that far along cuz cad looked more like a baby than a gummybear Plus they are soooo active by that point it just melted my heart with the first head scratch!
I would think you would definitly see a heartbeat at 7-8wks, i got to hear it with a doppler at doc appt at 9+2wks.

heeey. im sooo so sorry i should be kicked out of this group due to suckyness of bump buddy abilities! but ladies i swear the only thing im doing when i get a little extra time is sleeping! i have 0 energy left, i have now become a zombie! its not helping that ive always had low bloodpressure either. makes things even worse.

to you all I hope this goes over soon. no MS yet tho but i feel its on its way! hows everybody else?

and yeah about my first appointment, i dont get an US until 18 weeks (!!!) so will probably go to a private doctor around 12-14 weeks.

oh and i see somebody on here has a due date april 10! coolest due date ever, its my birthday !

Hey amiii Sorry you're not feeling too good, if you need sleep then get it, one of my friends is a midwife with a child of her own and she said first trimester is horrible for being exhausted all the time, I know how you feel though, I'm exhausted and don't have the energy for anything but I'm only getting about 4 hours sleep a night because I a) can't sleep and b) am wide awake from about 8am

Heey! Well shes right! But my problem is i get wide awake around midnight! then im up until like 4, and the next day im sleeping it away. had school today, was horrible. just wanted to rest my head a little bit on my classmates shoulder. gaah. time is going soooo slow tho, i just want second trimester to come!

How are u, hows hubby? did u tell anyone yet?

 

[CelticStar]

I'm the same with being awake at night! It's usually about 3:30 or 4am when I finally get to sleep although I was awake until 5am the other day

I'm not bad really, the meds are helping a lot with the m/s, DH is still over the moon, he annoys me because he keeps on trying to wrap me in cotton wool - not literally!! - and then I feel like a right cow because I know he's only doing it to make sure I'm ok!

We've told everyone now, we were both too excited to keep it to ourselves, so I text my sisters and told them then put a facebook status up just saying that morning sickness sucks
Nearly 60 comments!!

Im so exhausted all the time too but I have a 3 year old DD that refuses to slow down at all so Im constantly on the go. I try to go to bed early (about 11pm) but I keep tossing and turning or my cat keeps jumping on me or I simply cant get comfortable Then of course my DD is ready to go by 730 to 8am.. my DH is on night shift right now so he is NO help at ALL. I want to fastforward past this first trimester!!

 

[Weege]

Oh dear. i went to come on here earlier and it wouldnt let me then when i finally got on its all changed and now im all confused again!! but i managed to find u guys so thats ok!!

was going to add to my earlier post of being tired and not being able to sleep much, that when i do sleep eventually, my oh quite often in his sleep will turn and smack me in the face with his arm. 2 nights ago, it was a full on almost punch in the mouth lol. shocked me to say the least!! he swears the next morning he remembers nothing about it!!

 

[frisbeemama12]

I'm freaking out girls!!! I had some brownish tinted discharge/cm stuff this evening.. I'm not in any pain or anything but I'm freaked I don't want another mmc!! What could it be?? Its brown like old blood and its just a tinting of my regular discharge/cm.... HELP!!!

 

[hakunamatata]

Try to not worry too much Amber. A small amount of bleeding in pregnancy is normal for some women. If you're concerned you should call your doctor.

Does anyone else HATE the new format around here?!
