2016 Snowflakes!! (Nov/Dec Rainbows)

[NavyLadybug]

I've been a little queasy on and off, same with my breasts being sore and some fatigue.

Pumpkin, I've been well, thank you. I get that sharp pain too, its stretching pain and can also be from the corpus lutem (the sac that forms on the ovary when you ovulate and remains in early pregnancy). I'm glad your spotting has stopped! Was possibly just baby digging in a little deeper!

My next appt is April 25th, unsure if I'll get a scan or not but I'm hoping I do.

Navy -let me know how it goes when you go to the doctor. I am getting a vaginal ultrasound done on the 19th. I am probably going to be a nervous wreck. If I see the baby I might cry my eyes out like a little baby lol

My emotions are all over the place. On a good note I didn't feel half of these symptoms that I am currently experiencing now with my previous miscarriage. So I'm hoping this is all good signs.

I swear I wanted to cry today because it was raining and I didn't want to go outside to walk the dog. Lol ! I feel like a crazy person sometimes.

Hello ladies, how are we all doing?

I've been doing okay. Nausea has settled down to only in the morning unless I dont eat for to long and make myself hungry then it comes back. I worry that my nausea isn't "strong enough" but I'm sure any nausea at all is probably a pretty good sign. I seem to be thirsty ALL THE TIME and nothing quenches it. The tiredness is also a complete killer.

I've set up my appointments for my first midwife appointment (18th April) and my first scan that isn't with the EPU (13th May). Its a good thing I'm not superstitious and believe in bad luck - its a Friday the 13th! I just hope that we get that far but as i keep saying to DH, just taking one day at a time.

Hi! I been having on and off nausea. Today is worse than previous days. I also have a really bad headache today , gassy, and dizziness, my back was hurting me this morning but seems to have went away as the day went on.

Today I am also six weeks. I have a vaginall ultrasound on the 19th of April going to be so nervous going to it ! Good luck at your appointments. Positive thoughts !

Pumkin, Will that make you 8 weeks when you have your scan? I dont know how things work where you are but you might not need an internal to see all you need to. So long as you drink enough water the hour before you might be okay with an abdominal. I've had internals before (every time except from my last one at 6 weeks) so I know that sometimes they are just unavoidable to get a good picture!

Yes that will make me 8 weeks by then. Almost certain they r doing an internal so we shall see what happens! Praying and hoping everything will look good and baby will be up to where he or she needs to be

Won't have confirmation until April 20 (our first ultrasound), but according to online calculators, I'm due early December (between 3 - 7). So I've been using December 3rd as the date in my phone apps.

I'm hoping for a girl, but feeling like it's probably a boy, so I don't know what to say.

We miscarried about 40 days ago, so I was super surprised when I got my BFP before AF even showed up!

Pumkim - however they do it, I hope it is all perfect for you!

My next appointment is also April 19....so close, but soooo far! I'll be 10w 4d as long as Booboo is still growing, and I'm so hopeful we'll see a little baby shape moving around on that screen. The latest ultrasound we had was 9 weeks, but the heart had recently stopped and it was devastating. I'm feeling more positive this time, and I'm hoping all the work with doctors we've done will not be in vain.

Lots of luck to you!!! Will keep you in my thoughts. Let us know how the ultrasound goes. I hope you see your little one on the screen moving around.
I know what you mean so close but yet so far away. It's bittersweet I want it to come and then I don't at the same time. Just trying to enjoy my time being pregnant and enjoy this pregnancy and not dwell on the bad. It's all in gods hands. Whatever will be will

Welcome Stiletto, sorry about your previous loss. I'll add you to the list

Mine were all vaginal up until 10 weeks, Pumpkin and Lyn however I think that was just my OBs preference in the first trimester as thats the most guaranteed way to see baby the best. Even though I had a scan at my last appt (6wks) I hope I get another one at my next appt (10wks)

 

[LynAnne]

Navy, you're quite right. Internals are the best way to see tiny baby clearly. Over here if you go to the EPU they always try an abdominal scan first and an internal if they cant get a clear enough picture. My last scan at 6 weeks I was fortunate enough to be able to see all we needed to on the external.

Hmmhora, when I was told my midwife appointment is the 18th I thought it was so close and so far away at the same time. I should be about 9 weeks then if all goes well. I really want time to hurry up so I can get passed the date of my mmc.

Morning everyone
How are we all feeling today?

I got nauscious in the middle of the night. And my boobs seemed to have gotten EXTREMELY sore out of no where. I mean they were sore before but now it's worse! I also have increased CM I keep thinking I'm bleeding. Thankfully I'm not 😄

 

[stiletto_mom]

I took comfort in my fatigue last night and slight dull abdominal aches. I woke up this morning feeling fine... so now I'm paranoid and worried again.

UGH, I just want to feel miserable. @__@

 

[LynAnne]

I was exactly the same, stiletto. I felt great this morning to the point i was worried and then this afternoon I've felt so nauseous. The worst it has been so far! Typical.

 

[hmmohrma]

I am having on and off nausea, and it gets bad if I don't snack. I'm still getting over the tummy issues I had from staying with family and eating no veggies all week last week. I don't know how people do that! Sore chest, some headaches, definitely short tempered...lol

Bad news: Our 6 pound Papillon (dog) fell off the bed about 31 hours ago. We thought he was dead, then DH found a heartbeat and gave him mouth to mouth, he starting breathing, but we thought he was paralyzed. We had to drive to a 24 hour vet because it was 4:30am, and he started moving and had head trauma. He's been at the pet hospital ever since, and they thought he was better but declined so stayed overnight again. We are devastated and hoping he'll live until tomorrow morning. Please pray for our little baby. We put our 11 year old german shepherd down less than 2 months ago, and we are still grieving from pregnancy losses. We NEED BOTH our our babies to survive.

 

[LynAnne]

Hmmohmra, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope your dog pulls through and is okay. I cant imagine how horrible that feels. I would be absolutely besides myself if something happened to my little Jack Russell Terrier. She's my entire world. Sending lots of love and well wishes your way.

 

[NavyLadybug]

My symptoms have been pretty vague last few days. Loss of appetite and super slight queasiness (Learned yesterday I've lost 20lbs since finding out I was pregnant), sometimes slightly sore boobs, some light cramping/stretching pain and just being tired. Really want my appt to hurry up so I can get some reassurance from the doppler or US.

Hmmohrma, hoping that your pup pulls through!

 

[pumkin04]

I had some light pink spotting once yesterday. It then dissappeared. Hoping it's nothing. Also had some some very slight twinges yesterday on my lower right pelvic area. Those annoying twinges. It went away after 15 minutes maybe.

I been feeling very weird and off. Idk how to explain it. I constantly feel like I'm walking around in a daze. It's so strange. Been slightly lightheaded too on and off. When I'm laying in bed I don't feel it. But if I'm out and about I feel really funny. I noticed my brain has been acting weird too I been forgetting things or just seem as if I can't remember. Also this morning I woke up extremely anxious and it didn't go away until I went for a nice walk.
Feeling a bit better now.
Hopefully this all isn't a bad sign.

Hmmohrma I'm so sorry about your dog. Hope all turns out well!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Pumpkin that feeling is called Pregnancy Brain! Especially the forgetfulness! Haha If it was just pink I'm sure its fine, possibly a very full cervix or baby snuggling in even deeper as the placenta starts to form

 

[pumkin04]

Anyone else been having strange dreams ? I been doing things I don't normally do in my sleep lol.
The other day I woke up laughing like crazy. My husband thought I was nuts.
Today I had a bad bad dream it felt so vivid and so so real. I had a dream my husband had died. In my dream I was crying so much I could actually feel my eyes puffy in my dream, that's one reason why it felt so real. I woke up crying hysterical my husband though there was something wrong with me, he thought I was hurting or sick, my pillow was soaked and I just couldn't stop crying. I have never ever had that happen to me before!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Yes I've been having extremely vivid dreams. Most are completely random things and usually darker (like borderline nightmare stuff) but its not on a personal level.
