2016 May Miracles

[AdriansMama]

Sorry I haven't been on !! I've been sick with some kind of head cold on top of my nausea. I have has absolutely some to energy.
I only have an ergo and a ring sling but I love them ! I plan to get a new carrier for this baby as well
Everyone thinks this baby is a girl because I'm so nauseous and I wasn't with my boys also because my face is terribly broken out which didn't happen before either. I still think this is another boy lol my first 2 were different enough that I'n not counting on anything to tell me lol
I have my next scan on Monday I'll be 8+1 I'm hoping all goes well but there's always the nervous feeling that I'm going to get bad news

 

[busytulip]

Mumstar any news on an EDD?

Rainbow-your announcement sounds fun, that's pretty original to hold it at a comic book store. I also love your LO's nickname 'baby Lego'.

hi baker :wave: glad you found us! What a sweet surprise!!

TTDuck do you mind me asking what you've been put on? While TTC I became ill and developed thyroiditis. Now I swing between hi and low. Currently I am low so I am taking synthroid. I get blood draws every few weeks. It would be nice to have a 'thyroid' bump buddy. Do you have any extra symptoms due to your diagnosis? My joints are always very sore, my hands are very bad.
Praying for awesome results next week, waiting on betas is stressful.

My skin has also decided to resort to that of a teenager. My forehead and back are broken out.

hereishoping lovely to have you here. I'm very sorry to learn of your recent loss and pray this is your sticky rainbow baby.

AdriansMama I'm sorry you are dealing with a cold on top of MS, that seems really unfair. Can't wait to hear wonderful news from your scan on Monday.

I hope everyone is doing well and that you are all having an enjoyable weekend!

hope everyone is well, im freaking out at the amount of stuff i need to get !
i need everything as we got rid of it all .

Luckily my sister is also pregnant with #4 (8 weeks) so we have been bouncing ideas off each other as there are soooooo many new inventions etc since i had Ben.

Hubby wants us to save all the money up then buy everything at once but i dont think thats the most cost effective way to do it and have said that its much better to get stuff when its in the sale.

im trying to plan a master to buy list so i have a rough idea of how much we are going to need xx

Welcome to all of our new members!

 

[Em260]

Hi ladies, may I join? I'm due May 26th and this baby #2 for me. I was on one of these thread when I was pregnant with my daughter and it was so nice to chat with people throughout the pregnancy . My first u/s is scheduled for September 29th.

 

[busytulip]

Hi Em welcome!! :wave: I think there are a few of us that will be chasing around babies/toddlers while pregnant.

Rainbow that's how we were when we fell pregnant with DD3. It had been nearly 7 years since we had a child. It's amazing how many new products are out there.

Even if you don't plan on having any kind of baby shower, or sprinkle, etc. (which we won't) I would recommend signing up for a baby registry. Several places offer high discount coupons for 'finishing' your registry. It was really helpful when we went to purchase high ticket items that we didn't want to buy second hand...like car seats.

I love that our group is growing!

 

[Sis4Us]

We will be basically starting over AGAIN!!! Ds1 graduated in June and Ds2 will be 9 In a few months !!! So we have lost our Minds and r unlike most on this page !!

 

[Flossie_Aus]

Welcome new May mamas!

Rainbow I had my bestie write me a master list of "must-have" items, as her son just turned 1. I can't believe how much stuff is on it!

How's everyone's morning sickness going? Mine gets worse daily, it's harder and harder to find foods I can actually eat (which is a far cry from last week when I was ravenous). I have work in an hour, and I'm always starving by the time I'm finished, even with a proper breakfast, but this morning I can only stomach fruit, so this could be interesting (and unpleasant). I'm going to pack a container of blueberries and strawberries, because thankfully my boss knows, and should cut me a break if I need it. Today is my "Friday" of a very big week, with some 12hr shifts thrown in, I'm pooped and 4pm can't come fast enough!

 

[busytulip]

Good luck this week Flossie! It's nice to see that your boss is understanding.

It's been kind of quiet in here. I hope all is well with everyone!

 

[TTDuck]

Busytulip- I'm on levothyroxine 25. I requested the generic due to cost ($10 vs $50!) and haven't had any reason to use name brand. No side effects that I can tell but I can get away with a low dose. My levels actually self corrected but were still a little low for getting pregnant. I don't know how often my endo will be doing my blood work yet.

 

[Esperanza2015]

Hi ladies,

Am very nervous today...no nausea at all and feeling very normal.
Tomorrow is my scan and I just feel like crying...am very anxious....but tried to catch up running some errands....at least I was very productive today.
Hope everybody else is calmer than me...

 

[Alea]

Saw the GP today to request my referral to the midwives and left in tears. I know Maisie is still young, this pregnancy was a huge shock to us all, but honestly the doctor made me feel like a piece of crap for being pregnant again

 

[pinkpassion]

Awwww alea, I'm so sorry hun!!!! Don't feel bad at all!!!!! It will also be ok and I believe everything happens for a reason!!!

 

[Ganton]

Aww, Alea, I know a few people with gaps around a year, (some planned, some unplanned) and they all love it. The GP had no right to make you feel like that. I'm sure the midwives won't be judgemental, so just try to forget about the GP.

 

[luvymom]

Can I join? I'm due may 4th with #6.

Esperanza, I'm the same. I feel great. Usually I'm so so sick by now. But I saw baby and heartbeat last week so that calmed me down some. I have another appointment next week.

Also I'm looking for some advice. I'm still breastfeeding my 10 month old. I don't want to switch to formula for just a couple months. I was planning on continuing breastfeeding until a year but my nipples are so sore! Any tips? She's not the best solid food eater at the moment but will do some.

 

[AdriansMama]

Scan went well nugget was measuring right where it's supposed to !

 

[Sis4Us]

Busytulip put me down for May 10th as my scan date says EDD 5/10 I need to get over this fear and just say the Rainbow is here to STAY!!!

 

[pinkpassion]

Sis I like that attitude!!! I'm doing and believing the same thing!!!!!

Congrats Adriansmama!!! What a beautiful little nugget you've got there!!!!

 

[Em260]

Alea - so sorry that happened to you! That is so unprofessional for a doctor to treat you that way. I'm sure the midwife will be better to you and if not, please look for someone else. You have a right to be treated well by your healthcare professionals.

Esperenza - good luck tomorrow! I think we all feel that way before the first scan. I have found that symptoms come and go at this stage so try not to let that worry you.

Adriansmama - beautiful scan pic, congrats!!

how lovely!! Nothing better than a good scan!!

Sounds like a letter to their board and a change of doctor is in order! Doctors SHOULD NEVER put their personal thoughts in to their work, they can give you facts, but thats about it how insanely unprofessional!

Its called irish twins and it happens all the time without troubles

Hi ladies,

Am very nervous today...no nausea at all and feeling very normal.

Hope everybody else is calmer than me...

I'm sure you will get a beautiful scan picture tomorrow
