(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[DHBH0930]

Brit3435 & Lara310809 thanks! It was lots of fun

I'm still not feeling much of anything...my digestive system is running slow, I have a decreased appetite, I get really hungry but then I can't eat much at all before I feel sickly full, for a long time after. I would have loved to have this appetite when not pregnant, great way to lose weight hoping to see some real symptoms this week... No ms, sore boobs, etc yet

 

[Lara310809]

I have a decreased appetite, and have done for a few days. I didn't have any breakfast, so I found some ham and cheese slices on the run this morning, then for lunch I scrounged a few of my daughters chips at McDonalds and had a cheeseburger. Just didn't fancy anything I had dinner last night and felt horrible for hours after; not nauseous, but felt like you feel after Christmas lunch and you scoffed yourself silly.

Other than that though, no symptoms whatsoever. Hopefully it stays this good

 

[MsShona]

Based on my LMP, my due date is 12/20/13. Praying for a sticky bean!

Positivity is the hardest part Starry. I have tried to stay positive through this and would not let anybody tell me negative things. Yeah, I lost my baby, but at least I got to enjoy her while she was here. That helps it to be a little bearable. To know I refused to let anybody say anything negative about her. I say she because Cheri22 said she was a girl so I will think of her as a girl. I am not sure if she would have been right, but in my heart I feel that she was a girl.

I love to hear you say this! I think doing those things help so much in the grieving and healing process. When I lost my baby at 13 weeks, I chose to embrace that I had her for a full three months with me, and I was happy and enjoyed her every moment I had her. It wasn't long, but it was wonderful. I was thrilled to have had her at all.

We never got to know for sure if she was a girl, but DH and I just knew she was. We gave her the girl name we had picked out even before conception, Elizabeth Rose, and gave her a little memorial garden full of roses and a beautiful angel statue. It helps so much! It's been three months and while I'm still sad that she's not here and how we should have been in third trimester by now, I'm at peace with it and can still feel her with me and guarding this little baby!

I've got AF type cramps tonight and feel a little worried How's everyone else feeling?

Try not to worry too much, cramping isn't a bad sign. It's just everything getting ready to start stretching and growing.

AFM, I'm the opposite - I have a GIANT appetite! I already gained about 5 pounds and I'm bloating like crazy. I'm always hungry, I've been eating about 5 meals a day lately! My goodness! I think it's my body trying to hurry up and gain a bit of weight as I was a few pounds under, and trying to make up for my daughter still breastfeeding. It's doing a great job, I feel huge already!

 

[brit3435]

I'm the same I can't stop eating! Luckily I haven't put on any weight yet but I'm sure that will change very soon!

I was very bloated for most of last week but for the past couple of days I've been back to normal.

 

[Dynamicmae]

I've also aleady picked up weight... Think it could be the progesterone tablets though? I do feel hungry a lot of the time but haven't been eating that much more... I'm trying to walk 5km's every second day to keep the activity up....
Thanks for the reassuance about the cramps!!
Have you ladies started writing preggie journals? I want to go buy a nice book tomorrow to start one in...

I have a blog for each child, and I started one for this baby already. After the ultrasound this week, I'm hoping to swing by the store and grab a pregnancy journal. I use the same one for each pregnancy because I can't find one I like as much!

 

[Dynamicmae]

This is our first... So excited to star at journal!

 

[nicky84]

Me too, I'm so hungry all the time!! Not good lol! Been feeling really emotional today too,

 

[DHBH0930]

I've had pms type mood swings, I've been very easily annoyed and moody the past couple days 2 weeks from Tuesday till my first scan! I hope it flies by!!! I can't wait. Can't wait to see how everyone else's go too

Oh my goodness, me too! I have never been so grumpy in my life or in my other pregnancies like I am this time. I'm so grumpy about everything! I asked my husband yesterday if he thought I was grumpy lately, and he just looked at me. I asked "What is that supposed to mean?" and he was afraid to answer. He finally said "nothing more than I can handle." Well gee, that's worse than just saying "yes honey, you've been a bit grumpy but it's ok." LOL. At least he said he totally understands and isn't bothered by it. Meanwhile, I'm practically ready to grouch at him for just breathing! Poor guy, he just said about two weeks ago that I was never grumpy to him in my pregnancies, then here comes this one!

Thank you! And yes, we definitely do! I'm ready to just eat everything in the house. I've been having to buy twice the amount of meals this week and last week because I just want to eat it all right now. I do hope this eventually slows down or I'm going to be the size of a house! My daughter is 21 months but wants to nurse all the time. I'm trying to cut her down to morning, nap and night time, but she's not having it at all!

 

[Laelani]

My tentative date is December 10, 2013 right now If that changes once I go to the doctor I will let you know
