2016 May Miracles

[Ganton]

Welcome to the new girls.

Kitteh, I'm 8+3 tomorrow and it's been exactly 5 weeks since I got my BFP. In another 5 weeks I'll be sooo close to 2nd tri (2nd tri is 14 weeks, not 13, isn't it?)

I can't believe how creative some of you sound with you Halloween outfits. I wouldn't know where to start.

Afm, I was feeling pretty horrendous up until last Friday. The nausea was constant and I just felt rubbish. I got some good sleep over the weekend (thanks to lie-ins while hubby sorted the kids) and it's helped loads. The nausea is still there fairly frequently but isn't as intense and I have spells where I just feel hungry and actually enjoy my food. But that's got me worried now that it's not the sleep that's helped and maybe there's something wrong that's made my symptoms ease off. I really don't want the nausea to find back full force but on the other hand I want some reassurance.

Hello Ladies!

Could I join? I am due May 27th if everything goes well

Hi Miamama congrats again!! You have a lot on your plate and will definitely be in my prayers.

TTDuck which slacker told you that? Did they mention it at the end of the day or nearer the beginning? If it was the end totally acceptable; if it was nearer the beginning of 'their' day I'd be giving them the evil eye. How rude.

Ganton your lie-ins sound lovely. I understand what you mean about wanting the reassurance, but not necessarily wanting the symptoms.

Esperanza we haven't heard from you, hopefully you have received great news.

So any of you having vivid dreams? The ones I have had are nightmares where someone is trying to kill me Why can't I just have weird dreams about my baby??

I went through so many snacks this morning, trying to find something that tasted decent, and settled on a green apple! I was able to snack on it throughout work, but I eventually got really hungry & nauseous, ready for lunch!
Someone had fried chicken that smelled so yummy, so I bought some, and then another co-worker (who we don't even really like) made multiple comments about how I needed to feed baby something better that fried chicken. Rude. I know that's just the tip of the iceburg with comments that are going to offend me this pregnancy.

Esperenza - I hope everything went well today!

Miamama - welcome! I'm one day ahead of you, due May 26th. How are you feeling?

Ganton - my symptoms come and go too. I think that's normal for this stage of the game.

TTduck - how rude! Next time tell them they look awful and tired too

Ja4 - unfortunately the unsolicited advice is going to start coming your way nonstop. That was one of the most annoying things when I was pregnant with my DD. And eating fried chicken is not bad! I am totally possessed by my cravings right now and all I want is pasta and pizza. I try to balance it out throughout the day to make sure I'm getting veggies in there somewhere.

I don't know how to go to work today. The nausea won't stop. I have a travel band on and am trying to drink apple&ginger juice but it's not working, just barely escaped puking in a gov office this morning. I also feel a migraine coming on, probably from all the puking.

Hi Busy, yes I will stay Team yellow. I like the idea of the doctor announcing it at the birth. Hubby wants to know but i talked him around. I like non specific gender items, like the children's section at IKEA. I don't mind not having the sex to base a color scheme on. Of course being my first I have no idea how hard it's going to be to reuse my gifts/items on our next little one.

 

[TTDuck]

One of the people that commented on me looking tired just got back from a trip to Italy so she was really tired! Hehe 😂

 

[Smanderson]

Wow this page moves fast, struggling to keep up already!

Sounds like everyone is doing really well! Loving the positivity in here!

Still no sickness for me, plenty of other symptoms though cravings, bad skin, sore boobs, hormone outbursts, tired, everything is very smelly. So I'm still wondering if I may skip the sickness this time (a girl can dream).

So what's on everyone's shopping lists? I keep adding to my list, I thought for sure we would have most things. Can't help but wonder what new things are out now...

Hi all I started bleeding this morning have to see the gp to get a referral to epu no pain but terrified all the same will let you know how I get on x

 

[Esperanza2015]

Hi Ladies:

Butterfly:Hoping for the best and having you in my thoughts and prayers

Yeyy for the ones turning 6 weeks!!
It's funny to read all the unsolicited advise that you can get, am already dreading what will come from my MIL as I find myself very protective about this pregnancy and I was annoyed already about simple comments that my sisters did
Well, went for my scan yesterday, we saw little baby measuring 6 weeks 4 days (1 day difference from my calculations) and we saw the flickering heartbeat. The tech said everything looked fine and we were so excited that didnt ask much. In the car I remember she said the hear rate was 90 and I started freaking out. We came home and google and it was worse. Now am feeling more optimistic, I know his/her heart just started beating and honestly I dont want to compare my baby to anybody else's so Im trying not to read much into things and hope for the best.
My first prenatal app is on Oct 2, so im really looking forward to that.
Afm symptoms wise I feelt very bad yesterday, headache and nausea, but finally feelt better after the scan so I had a hotdog around 2230 and i think that help me to wake up without nausea (Im hoping its the food and not something else causing my lack of nausea).
Well....sorry for the rant.....cheers

oh no! I'm so sorry!

 

[MiaMama]

Hello Ladies,
I am out for May 2016.
Yesterday my pregnancy test was even more faint and I got my periods...
This one did not want to stick to me
Good luck to all the May miracles

 

[Esperanza2015]

I wish strength to all the ladies going through difficult times, I've been there and its not easy. Saying a prayer for you

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Butterfly, I hope the scan goes well and you can see the little heartbeat flickering away.

MiaMama, so sorry for your loss! FX you'll be back over here again soon though

Esperanza, glad your scan went well and you got to see baby! Your appointment will be here before you know it.

Smanderson - I hope you can skip the nausea! I didn't have it with DD, but I've gotten some waves of it, so I wasn't lucky again.

We still have most of the stuff we used for DD, so I don't think we'll have any really big purchases. A new mattress for the crib, probably buy a new set of bottles just in case... I'll have to go through all the stored stuff to see. The only expensive thing on the list so far is a Baby Brezza Formula Pro maker, and FIL has already said he's going to buy that for us. (I'm so excited to try it )

 

[Alea]

Thank you all for your kind words regarding what the doctor said. Although the comment upset me, I'm trying not to dwell on it, and focus on how wonderful it will be to have two children growing up together. I know Maisie will always have a playmate in the new baby!

How is everyone doing today? Welcome to any one I've not said hello to! I can't believe it's almost October.

 

[N8ie]

MiaMamma- I'm so sorry for your loss.

Afm - today I'm officially 6 weeks pregnant, I still feel so bloated and look at least 3 months pregnant. I wonder how long I will be able to hide my pregnancy. My scan is next week Tuesday I'm so excited for that.

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

That's a great attitude, Alea!

I'm still only having really quick waves of nausea that randomly pop up, so I'm grateful it's not worse. I actually have energy today too, so I've been finally getting some cleaning done. I sent a desperate plea to hubby for ramen noodles since I've got such a craving for them, and he came home for lunch with 12 packs and 3 different types of crackers. I'm in love all over again.

Good luck with your scan next week, N8ie!

 

[Em260]

Miamama - I'm so sorry Sending lots of prayers your way.

Butterfly - Fx for your scan tomorrow. I hope everything is ok. I had a ton of bleeding with my DD which was so scary but my Dr. said is very common during the early stages.
