- 2015 JUNE BUGS - Join Us!

[Buffyx]

Buffyx - I'm with you there! I'm a few days into a cold too. I had a horrible sore throat the first few days and now I either can't breathe from being stuffed up or can't stop coughing. Sorry you're going through it too. It stinks when you get sick while pregnant!

It was actually the reason it made me test. I never ever get sick because I work in the health care industry - I'm basically immune to getting sick after all the years working there. When I got sick I knew something was up!

Normally I wouldn't mind but I'm going on holidays overseas for 3 weeks leaving Sunday and I really hate that I'll be sick!

Other than that I don't seem to have any symptoms other than light cramping. I was constipated, but I take something for that now.

Just went back to read through a few pages and get to know you all a little better

Congrats MrsWag!

Nikoru, I think you are absolutely doing the right thing. It's so hard to believe a doctor would suggest a d&c after seeing progression!! I am praying for you and your babies. I don't have any relaxation tips, but what helps me not be nervous is just knowing that I have very little control over what may or may not happen. I will either have a healthy baby or not and there isn't anything I can do to prevent something unexpected from happening. We are here for you

Congrats TTCMOMMA!

Congrats on a good early scan kit!

kissesandhugs, enjoy your non symptom state it's great when you don't worry over every little thing! a few days ago i was absolutely ravenous. it was weird though, because i didn't think i was that hungry but when we sat down to eat i couldn't stop eating - it felt like a bottomless pit!

Anya, oh gosh I hope my hair doesn't get MORE oily! I can barely go with washing every other day.

Congrats Crystal, KIALea, and butterflywolf!

I had nausea on and off since 5 dpo, today I feel a little nauseous but I may need to find some of those seabands if I end up with more serious m/s.

Is anyone's boobs already MUCH bigger? I'm still so early (just 10 dpo!), but I have seen them getting bigger since 5 or 6 dpo (probably due to the progesterone suppositories). I'm a C cup and they are popping out of my bras and feel like big water balloons! DH is very excited Little does he know I do NOT want them to be touched

My god, I had to start wearing my sports bras again. Only comfortable bras I have! Last pregnancy I lived in sports bras, then lived in them for another 2 years while nursing, was absolutely ESTACTIC when I could wear a regular bra after nursing..now I'm back in sports bras Well, it was a good 3 months while it lasted

 

[Buffyx]

I seem to have ONE boob that is a lot bigger than the other! My nipples are looking slightly larger too. I'm only an A cup, so these things are noticeable

 

[NDH]

Welcome and congratulations to all the newcomers!

My boobs never change in pregnancy *sigh* well, they get more veiny I don't fill an A cup, and when my milk first came in I almost fit the B cup nursing bras I'd bought (you can't buy A nursing bras ) but then they stabilized to being only slightly fuller than usual. Oh well. I've read that its the breast changes in pregnancy that leads to saggy boobs, not breastfeeding that does it, so I'm hopeful I'll still be a perky 80 year old even if theyre little

Poys thats a hilarious story. I would have loved to see that lady's face!

 

[30mummyof1]

Yep my are bigger already, they don't usually change much with pregnancy so i am very happy!

 

[kdmalk]

I noticed yesterday that mine are already bigger. I will cry if they continue to grow. Not tears of joy--tears of horror. I look like a porn star now. Sigh.

 

[raelynn]

LOL kdmalk I'm the same. I started out big and then they got huge from last pregnancy and now they're getting bigger again. I can't find bras that fit and it makes my back hurt.

 

[nicoley]

Got my betas back they are at 35092..blood drawn yesterday..

 

[smoore]

I feel relieved! I got my results from the second blood draw and the numbers looked great again! I will have an appt with an ultrasound on the 27th. Hoping to luck out and see the heartbeat (will be 6+3).

 

[Nikoru0111]

Lots to catch up on. Woke up this morning with a bit of pain. Mainly back pain and I think it might be due to excess gas. Not sure. I have IBS and whenever I get ladies cramps I always had my IBS symptoms worse and now I can't distinguish between the two. A little bit worried I'll start bleeding again today though I managed to go all of yesterday without a bleed though which was good. Getting bored on this bed rest. Feel cooped up in our apartment right now. It's only really small (of course we will be moving if my pregnancy becomes viable)

Buffy-wow can't believe you moved over here now! Congrats! Lovely to see you! X

Poys-that story about the nurse cracked me up haha!

Newcomers- welcome everyone! Gosh we will have a lot of June babies!

I think I keep getting a slight metallic taste in my mouth...not sure, keep thinking I can taste blood but I can't...unless one of my gums is bleeding...which could be a possibility, they are quite sensitive...lol...now I just sound crazy haha.

Had bad nausea all of yesterday. Hope it was normal ms. Tried to eat some porridge and had to spit it out quickly before I vomited! One thing I have learned though is that even if this is a healthy pregnancy I'm not going to wish for ms. Even just yesterday with quite bad nausea was awful. Don't want that for another 6-8 weeks!

I don't get hungry feelings very much now, just straight to nausea feeling and I don't have an appetite. Nothing seems appealing to me but I know I'm hungry. Once I have eaten I do feel less nauseous.

Boobs were on and off tender so I don't know what is going on with them. I thought they were getting bigger but now I'm not sure.

No more constipation which I was scared about because I thought I was losing symptoms but I did eat two figs and my nerves and worrying have been making things a lot easier to come out as well...so maybe it is just that I don't know. I should be happy about it!

Anyway maybe I should stop worrying and just try to enjoy my (potentially last few days...but I hope to god not) pregnancy.

 

[Buffyx]

Thanks Nikoru I can't really quite believe it myself.

All the best for your situation. Have been thinking of you x

 

[Radiance]

Seven weeks tomorrow!! It's going by quite quickly considering I found out at three weeks

Is anyone else worried they are going to go into their scan and be told they have a blight ovum? My scan is next week at 8 weeks. So nervous. I want to see at least one baby with a nice strong heartbeat

As for my boobs... they have only changed once out of eight (this being my 8th) pregnancy. They never get bigger, or smaller... they just stay the same. My nipples do change though and I call them my breastfeeding nipples.

 

[Radiance]

Nikoru0111- I am actually hopeful for you. The bleeding is most likely from your SCH. Babies are measuring right on which is an excellent sign!! Of course they won't (normally don't) have heartbeats this early. As for the pain, SCH can cause that and gas as you've mentioned or it could be a start of an miscarriage.

I get horrible pain with my gas :/ Always scares me!!!

As for you being scared about pain and being related to miscarriage... my later in pregnancy losses were induced and the same as fullterm. My first miscarriage was different, I miscarried because my water broke. So it was like a full term delivery... water broke, leaked for another day, and on the second day I woke up with pink bled and it got worse and worse... 12 hours later of bleeding, I delivered my baby, placenta, the smallest cord I've ever seen... everything. It wasn't that painful at all, just felt like the first stages of labor... just uncomfortable instead of painful.

That being said, my second miscarriage was VERY painful. Felt worse then my natural full term labors. It was a long six days of excruciating pain.

Then my third miscarriage which was either a chemical or blighted ovum wasn't painful, felt like a period. I bled five days I believe.

I guess my point is that most of my first trimester losses weren't really painful. And each miscarriage, loss and person is different. There's not much you can do, you know Right now, this second, you are pregnant with two blessings! You might not have that tomorrow... and this applies for all of us.

That right there is what keeps me positive because it is so hard after a loss. Right now I am pregnant. Major hugs!!

 

[coucou11]

Radiance me too - 7 weeks tomorrow! And YES omg I have the exact same fear. Obviously counting down to my first appt. Just want to make sure all is ok, then I think I will relax a bit.

Nik - really hoping for you sweetie, I hope you can get some good tv over there while you are on bed rest. Only a few more days hopefully. That's really positive news that you haven't had more bleeding too! Have you read Gone Girl? It is huge over here in the states now, maybe that would be a good one to pass the time.

Poys loved your story, I was cracking up.

For my boobs, I stayed the same last time (although my husband says I didn't) and will probably stay the same this time. Mine are a small B and I was SO excited to have real, actual cleavage!! But alas, it was not to be. Maybe in another life, haha.

I'm thankful to have this thread to help pass the time, you ladies are a fun bunch.

 

[raelynn]

Hooray for the great betas nicoley and smoore! I go in for my fourth tomorrow.

 

[starluck]

kissesandhugs, haha, I'm so glad I'm not the only one with big boobs already! it's so interesting how everyone's body responds differently. i've also noticed my nipples look a little bigger - crazy.

buffyx, even more exciting for you ~ just one boob getting bigger! the other one will catch up

NDH, if that's true I'm destined to have my boobs down to my knees at the rate I'm going

30mummyof1, i'm glad you're getting this benefit with this pregnancy

kdmalk, i may join you crying if they get too much bigger. i used to be a DD, then I lost 30 pounds and went down to a C. They are already well on their way to DD - gahhhhhd I hope they stay closer to a D. I remember having such a hard time finding shirts that fit right - not looking forward to that!!

nicoley - i don't know much, but i think that beta result is really great? if so, congratulations!!!

smoore, yay for excellent numbers!! i go in tomorrow for my first blood test - fingers and everything crossed for good results!!!

nikoru, i can't wait to hear about your scan on Friday. how amazing would it be to prove that crazy doctor wrong. I have everything crossed for you.

Radiance, yay 7 weeks! I am looking forward to being a little further along - it's just so early for me right now! i've got my fingers crossed for a great scan next week for you!! yeah for breastfeeding nipples!!

 

[Buffyx]

Yes. I'm totally freaking out that something will go wrong. I just need to get to that first scan before I go crazy!

I've just had my blood taken to confirm - although I've had about 7 different tests show BFP, including digital yesterday

Then on the weekend I'm going away for 3 weeks, so by the time I get back I should be about 8 weeks along. When do you normally have your first appointment/scan?

[kissesandhugs]

My u/s isn't until 3 weeks here too. Seems so far away but I bet before we know it we'll be saying 'u/s tomorrow!'
