2016 May Miracles

[busytulip]

Fantastic news mrsmax. So nice to hear squish is doing well.

Welcome Doodlepants, Beeka, TTDuck and 3to2inMay :wave: It's great to see our little group grow!!

Pink I'm not so sure I'd want to labor on my anniversary.

3to2 welcome to BnB. There are many, many very lovely ladies here. I hope you grow to love it as much as I do. At first it was weird picking up the lingo, but you'll catch on quick.

LouOscar praying it's all good reports after your appt. on Thursday

Kitteh good luck at your appt. on Monday as well! OT but I always hesitate when shortening your user name. So what do you prefer? Kitteh, Kat, KK??? Silly I know, but I don't want to keep using a shortened version you might detest.

I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to sneak on this am. I was just exhausted and my LO finally cooperated with nap time so I was able to shower and then nap with her. Much needed as I am utterly exhausted. I think I've caught up with everyone.

The nausea is pretty consistent. I feel like the only way to hold it off is to keep eating, at this rate I'll definitely be as big as a whale.

That's great news drjo, lovely pic!

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Yay, welcome to all the new ladies!

busy - Kitteh is fine, but I'll respond to any of them! Glad you were able to get a nap in! I feel you on the exhaustion

drjo - such a beautiful scan picture!

Is anyone else doing anything special to celebrate each new week? We've been going to our favorite Mexican place for lunch on Tuesdays so I can indulge in my steak quesadilla craving.

 

[Flossie_Aus]

Great news drjo congrats!

Kitteh we haven't really been doing anything to celebrate, but I am so badly hanging out for our first scan the days/weeks are draaaaaagging by !

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Ugh, tell me about it! Every time I look at my ticker I say "still?!". The first trimester goes by soooooo slowly.

We are another day closer though!

 

[AdriansMama]

Hello !! I'm due May first based on my dating scan but I thought I was due April 27 based on lmp so I'm kind of in this limbo lol I thought maybe I could float between the 2 months since I'm behind most of the ladies in the April forum

 

[busytulip]

drjo that is great news

Welcome Adriansmama :wave: I did the same with my last. She was due Oct. 30th I always felt really behind in the Oct. group so I joined the Nov. one, good thing too since she decided to hold out until Nov. 4th. Will you stay team ?

Flossie I feel the exact same way.

We aren't doing anything to celebrate each week. I need to start taking bump pics.

Anyone else having aversions? Deli meats are not my friend Making lunches has been a test.

 

[Alea]

Hi ladies, I'm unexpectedly finding myself in this group!

I'm Alea, I'm 22 and I live in the UK with my fiance Adam and our daughter, Maisie Grace, who was born in June of this year. Get why this whole thing was a little surprise?! A blessing nonetheless, we are overwhelmed with emotions right now after I got a positive this afternoon following a few days of nausea and other typical pregnancy symptoms.

In terms of due date - I believe I'm due on May 21st, or around then at least, so I'll go with the 21st until we know otherwise. Adam and I got engaged on the last weekend of August and well, you know, I think that's my due date! I look forward to speaking with you all a little more.

 

[busytulip]

That's lovely Alea. It really must have been quite the shock I'm sure. Irish twins Congratulations on your engagement as well!

 

[Alea]

That's lovely Alea. It really must have been quite the shock I'm sure. Irish twins Congratulations on your engagement as well!

Thanks so much! It has been a shock but we are excited and obviously very grateful to have been able to conceive a baby again.

I see you have a 10 month old so perhaps we will be able to relate to each other since we'll have two close in age once our babies are here!

 

[busytulip]

Definitely!

 

[Kitteh_Kat]

Welcome AdriansMama and Alea!

No aversions yet (it was grilled chicken with DD). I am starving all day though, and constantly craving something! Especially chocolate, mmm

Is there anything else you can have for lunch?

 

[busytulip]

Oh I've never been a lunch meat person. I was preparing lunch for my littles for school. I also have not been fond of the smell of fish or things being fried. Trips to the grocery store have been hard on my nose and tummy.

I still just want spicy and salty things.

 

[Butterfly2015]

Any good tips for Ms ladies the only thing I've been able to eat today is 3 dry crackers and I can only sip water I've lost 5 lbs since last week my midwife appointment isn't till Monday the smell of anything is so overwhelmingly sickening my partners getting really worried and to be honest I am too I feel so sick 24/7 it's horrible x
Welcome to all the new ladies hope your well and have a h&h 9 months x

 

[Esperanza2015]

Hi ladies, am cautiously excited, I will be 6 weeks tomorrow, am taking a day at a time. Had a previous loss in April around this time and honestly I need all the support I can get since this baby is still a secret for most of people. I've had mild nausea, only 2 days ago a very bad episode cause I was kinda sick with a cold, and today just loss of apetite, just ate fruit and not really hungry but when my stomach is empty i feel heartburn.
Anyhow...im here now and want to keep reading all you symptoms and ups and downs.
Thank you for keeping me company.
Blessings!

 

[pinkpassion]

My back hurts so bad!!!!!!! I really feel like with this backache and cramps that af is coming with a vengeance!!!! Anyone else,

 

[busytulip]

Hi Esperanza! Welcome
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Do you have an idea of when your EDD is?

Butterfly some ladies have had success with taking unisom and vit. B6. Mentioning it to your provider wouldn't hurt. I had HG with my last 3 pregnancies, you don't want to let it get bad.

Pink I hope your back pain isn't here to stay.

 

[Tesh23]

Hi Ladies!! So many May babas on the way!!

EDD is 27 May 2015. If I choose to do a C-section here they usually do it about 2 weeks early so EDD may be 14 May which is DH's bday! lol But I am gonna stick with 27 May for now!

Hmm... I am team yellow - just want a healthy little bean and bub. DH is prob happy to have either but I think right now he is leaning toward team blue! lol

Our first baby finally on the way after 16 months ttc!

 

[Alea]

Welcome, Esperanza!

Tesh23, it must be so exciting to have a baby on the way after so long. What is making your DH guess you're having a boy?

We were team yellow with Maisie and loved not knowing. We've not thought that far ahead yet and although I'd like to stay yellow again, I think it'd be more practical knowing as we can work out what, if any, of Maisie's things we can reuse.
