2016 May Miracles

I hate when you get a long post written out and then it gets erased. :(

TTDuck I'm also taking the generic, only (gulp) 75mcg. I'm happy to hear that you aren't suffering from any averse effects. I haven't really noticed any either, my main concern is that I'll gain a lot of weight with this pregnancy and then have a really, really hard time getting it off.

Esperanza I just want to send you big hugs :hugs: I hope that your scan goes really well tomorrow and that your anxiety just melts away when you see your little baby.

Alea I am so sorry that the GP treated you that way. When will you be able to get into the midwives? I'm sure they will be more understanding and accepting. I personally think it is beautiful and sweet how close you children will be.

Hi luvymom :wave: Nice to see another large family :) I'm still nursing my 10 month old as well and she is very much a milky baby. Is using nipple cream offering relief at all? I use either Lansinoh or Earth Mama Angel Baby. If you get very sore you could also try tea bags.

AdriansMama EEEeeeekkkkk!!!! Look at that sweet little bean!!!!! :wohoo: Yay! I'm so happy for you :)

Sis4Us I'm lovin' that positive attitude!!

Ooh Baker I think you and Pink are scan buddies.
Loads of scans and 1st appt.'s coming up. It's so exciting!

AFM I have a massive head cold. Hopefully it flees just as quickly as it came on. I have way too much going on to deal with this nonsense. :haha:
 
Sorry I've been MIA. These boards move too fast for me, so I usually just read, but Alea, I wanted to say that close age gaps are not as bad as some people think! Granted, none of mine are quite as close as yours will be, but it's really lovely to see your kids being silly together and enjoying the same toys and activities because they're going through almost the same stage at the same time. So don't let anyone make you feel bad! My brother and I are 13 months apart, and I loved it while growing up! :flower:
 
Busy- I've had things I type erase multiple times, probably why I don't respond as much, haha. I'll be typing away, and then it changes screens!

So I must seriously jink myself! Last week, I thought my little symptoms went away, then the next day I started getting nauseous. The last day or two, I wasn't nauseous like I had been, so it had me a little worried. Well, I puked my dinner up! My baby likes to give me reassurance, apparently. :haha:
 
ja so nice of your baby to be thinking of you :haha:
Yeah these silly ads don't help :nope:

Well said Spiffy <3
 
Doctors have no right to make you feel like that. So insensitive. I knew a woman through work who had a baby trough ivf and ended up being pregnant 4 months after naturally. I think children are a blessing and no one should judge. Hope you find someone who is more understanding.

I can't get rid of this cough and cold for the life of me. Spook super tired all day. I have to force myself to get through each day but I hate not doing chores. I'm slightly on a ocd spectrum and can't even look at the oh trying to help do things... He does it wrong obviously lol. My mother got back from Paris at the weekend and gave us a lot of chocolate. She's been really sweet.

Based on my cycle length and time of bd I pretty much have my due date down as May 5th. I have a midwife appointment today and hopefully will see just how much weight I've already put on. Constipation is not helping. I eat healthy but I'm so bloated. I look 20 weeks. I put on 42 lbs last time but had horrible spd in the last 10 weeks. Need to get my energy back and start swimming.

Hope you're all doing well and haven't been suffering too much. Good luck with all the appointments. So hard to believe sometimes it's actually happening :). X
 
Hi everyone haven't been having a great time of it lately had my booking appointment with the midwife yesterday she was lovely very understanding and patient have been getting pelvic pain and was diagnosed with spd already in soo much pain and only 6+4 weeks I suffer with fibromyalgia to which I think has exacerbated things had to ask my neighbour to take my son to school today I'm high risk due to mental illness which thankfully isn't an issue at the moment fx it stays that way trying to keep a smile on my face and a positive mental attitude but it sucks and I know the pains gonna get a lot worse I injured my pelvis in a car accident a few years ago and had to have it realigned which is probably why I have the spd so early I've ordered a good support belt and I already have a walking stick for support I can't seem to win at the moment I've lost 6lbs this week but there not too concerned at the moment but it does worry me terribly I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself I think I'm not looking for sympathy just needed to get it off my chest thanks for listening it's good to talk after all
Hi all new mums/moms h&h 9 months
Congrats on the scans ladies so lovely seeing the little ones x
 
Sorry I've been such a slacker, guys! Some nausea has kicked in :)sick:) and I realized that Halloween is right around the corner, so I've been sewing my fingers off to finish our costumes in time. At least time is flying now!

Hope you feel better, Mumstar!

Butterfly - that sounds awful, hopefully the pain becomes more manageable for you. :hugs: We're all here to vent!

Alea - the doctor had no right to treat you that way, it's still your body and your choice. Whatever happened to compassion?! You won't be seeing them for the pregnancy again, will you?

Beautiful little baby, AdriansMama! :)

Good luck with all the appointments and scans this week! :happydance:


Had my intake appointment yesterday, which was all very uninteresting. Basically just medical history and what to expect. They do a handbook and passport thing which I do like; the handbook goes over the appointments/what to expect/common things going on at that time/etc. The passport is to record all my stats for the pregnancy, so it'll be neat to see how I progress! They probably won't do an ultrasound until the 20 week anatomy one, so I'm glad I booked a private one already. Next appointment is Oct 15th with my midwife!

They also took like 8 vials of blood, so I guess they're testing me for everything under the sun. :wacko:
 
Kitteh, we must figure our what we will be doing for halloween... it's creeping up on me!!!
 
So very quickly too! Where has September went?! Do you have any ideas? :)

We're continuing the Star Wars theme, so we're doing Anakin, pregnant Padme from the 3rd movie, and DD will be Princess Leia. (I'm going to say I'm still pregnant with Luke :haha:) I'm about halfway done with her dress at least!
 
How adorable... you MUST post pics!!! I've got no ideas on what we will all be!!
 
I have on more Mum to finish then I can start on my Halloween Decorations and Costumes hoping to be done w it by this weekend!! :)
 
Sis4Us how many mums in total will you have created? When is Homecoming?

Kitteh you are so creative and I agree, you must post piccies. :) 8 viles? I think they are just mean sometimes.

Mumstar good luck at your appointment today. I'm sorry that you are feeling so uncomfortable. :( Do you want me to add you to the front as the 5th or hold off still?

Butterfly oh how miserable. I hope that the support belt offers some relief. Are you able to be home and rest when you need to? I'm sorry it has started so early, that's really rough.

Pink 6 weeks, nearly half way to that 1st goal? :dance:
 
Hi ladies! Can I join? I hope you say yes cause I already stole the link for my signature!

I'm coming over from "38 and TTC my first" thread on the TTC over 35 forum.

This is my first and I think I will be a crunchy granola mom as they say because I'm in love with the idea of cloth diapers, baby wearing, and ebf.
 
Hi sugargully! :wave: Of course you can join!!! :D
Congratulations! Will you be staying team yellow throughout?
 
Welcome, sugargully!

I can't believe some of us are starting to reach the halfway point for the first trimester already!
 
At work yesterday I had several people say I looked tired. I'm not that much more tired! Maybe it's just because I'm there 2 hours before anyone else! Lol!
