2015 September Sweet Peas!!! all welcome to join

[AngelOb]

I haven't felt sick but today I have been super gassy (sorry if tmi) constantly burping throughout the day, I swear I tasted lunch all the way to dinner. I read that it's common in pregnancy but I'm wondering if it's a weird symptom to have so early. Otherwise today hasn't been too bad, my bbs are finally giving me a break.

Think I'm going to go in for blood work this week to make sure everything is progressing the way it should. I've only told 3 of my closest friends and my mom. We don't want to tell too many people since we had a mc in Aug that was pretty hard for us.

I feel you on the water/excessive thirst ginger. It's the same way for me right now.

mamabunny - when is your first scan? Since we are so close in the dates, I just want to know as I will have mine this Thursday, not sure if we can detect a heartbeat at this early stage yet. I m so much like you, never eat breakfast but now I try to be good and carry a bag of cereal to munch on on the way to work, i can't eat with milk as i m lactose intolerance.
Laura - did you hear back from the midwife yet? When is your first appoinment (sorry if I missed in the earlier posts)
For me, symptoms wise, light morning sickness, feeling really nauseated only when I am really hungry or after I eat really full. The weird thing is that I don't get up and pee during the night (yet), is that normal? I am able to sleep through until the morning. Do all of the moms on here wake up multiple times at night to pee? Just curious

I have had to go pee during the night but mostly because mr 15 months still wakes multiple times during the night, and co sleeps for a few hours, so I am awake anyways

 

[xLaura]

Aries - no I haven't heard off midwife yet, if I remember rightly I don't think my appointment was until 9 weeks last time and it came through around 7 weeks.

I don't think it's unusual not waking up to wee this early. Everything is still so small and not squashing everything yet. However when I do wake up I'm dying to go. Actually I'm like that anyway, so that's prob nothing to do with pregnancy lol.

aries my first appointment with a nurse I believe is the 21st of this month, at 8 weeks. Pretty sure it's just to go over mine and family health history, discuss what to expect the upcoming months, answer any questions I have and possibly check my weight and BP and I think they give me a goody bag with parenting and baby magazines, samples and coupons I'd be super excited if they tried to hear the heartbeat but I don't think that will happen until my 12 week appointment

I don't get up to tinkle in the middle of the night really. My partner gets up at about 3 to get ready for work so sometimes I'll use the restroom then. I have days where I'm peeing what seems like 50+ times and others that aren't nearly as busy. I've had increased thirst as well and have been willingly drinking water over anything, which is unusual for me. I try to drink water anyways now just because I feel it's best.

I'm hoping today isn't crampy like yesterday because that really worried me. My partner is insisting I avoid dairy for a bit but I really don't want to I'm going to have to sneak a glass of milk and some cheese here and there to get my fix!

 

[choc]

Hey ladies hope you are all OK? Does anyone keep getting the fear? I have a day or two where I think it's all going to fine then a phase of being petrified that baby has stopped growing and I've had a mmc. I wish i could stop feeling like this.

 

[cutieq]

Choc, I don't know if that feeling goes away unfortunately. I know moms with no losses that have the same fear. It's natural, I think the key is finding the best way to comfort your fears and breathe through it.

 

[mummy2_1]

I get this fear on and off, some days I worry about going to the bathroom and seeing blood on the let roll and other days I think il be one of the lucky ones and every thing will be ok. I think the further on u get the easier this fear gets to contain but right now being so early I'm expecting some thING to go wrong.....

 

[choc]

I know you are right, that so many of us feel like this. It's just so hard.

 

[MamaBunny2]

Happy 6 weeks choc! Even though I have never experienced a loss I worry too, just about everything. The cramping I had basically all day yesterday scared me to death! Then today I got an email with a newsletter from The Bump and it mentioned skin rashes and cholestasis, which is a rash that can be harmful to the baby. I developed a strange rash mostly all on my legs over the weekend and it comes and goes, flaring up more a night. As soon as I read that newsletter I freaked and called the doctor's office! Waiting on a callback, but in the meantime I've been Googling and I don't think I have cholestasis but because a rash developed it's not a bad idea to discuss it with a nurse. All I ate earlier today was a Pop Tart and drank a bottle of water so that concerned me as well but I made up for it at lunchtime

 

[choc]

Thanks Mamabunny!

 

[NurseGinger]

Mamabunny I also go on the 21st of this month for my first visit! Haha

Choco: I've never had a loss and this is my first pregnancy but I worry a lot! I hate worrying so much and some days I feel okay other days I freak and think so much. My bf says "stay positive!" Ha! . Hard to not worry when I have days i feel nothing and other days i feel stuff.

 

[choc]

Felt really sick yesterday but not today which doesn't help my fear. Ah I can't do this!

 

[xLaura]

I'm the same choc. At times I'm thinking about babies names but most of the time I'm thinking what's the point, it's not going to work out. I know I had worries last pregnancy but not this bad.

 

[MamaBunny2]

I don't recall any major symptoms with my first two pregnancies Maybe I'm so obsessed with this one and have learned SO much more about TTC and early pregnancy that I notice every little thing. But I have days where I feel absolutely nothing. I have never experienced a loss but I still get concerned at times.

Ginger that's crazy! My appointment is at 3:30. I'm so anxious!

 

[choc]

Same here, I'm much worse than last time. It's like my luck must run out soon!

 

[Court28]

The midwife is meant to arrive at my house in 15 minutes eeeek. I get so nervous meeting new people haha. Cramping for me has pretty much gone now, and nausea has calmed down a bit, still feeling it in the mornings but for the first two weeks it was all day every day. Im wondering if its a bad thing that my two major symptoms are going away? Still peeing alllll the time lol, and still really moody. Tbh im pretty happy to get to 5 weeks. With every day that goes by, I feel more relaxed that this is it and baby will stick. I'll calm down completely after my scan/after 6 weeks

 

[choc]

Good luck court! Can't believe the midwife comes to your house, that's so good!

 

[LockandKey]

I think I'm due September 10th with #3, my first midwife appointment is the 26th, so it might change eventually. I got my BFP at 12 days dpo on New Years. I have an almost 4 yr old DD named Nora, and a 16 month old DS named Everett, so excited to see what gender #3 will be. I am definitely finding out too, the wait and anticipation is too much for me

 

[ellahopesky]
