Hello all... It takes me so long to catch up I haven't got time to post much. Once we get to Easter I will join the facebook group, but I gave up FB for Lent!

I only have fairly mild symptoms. I've been having on and off aching like mild period pain, which of course is never nice. I remember having it last time though so not too worrying. I feel ravenous most of the time, with the occasional slight nausea...

Does anyone else babywear, or plan on doing? My Moby (stretchy) wrap has been out on loan almost constantly for 18 months - I've told the current owner (a friend who had her baby girl at 26+5!!) that I'll be needing it back in October. I still wear my toddler on my back, and I'm hoping to continue until well into second tri, though he walks most of the time. So excited to have a little bundle strapped to my front again... Think I'm going to take a wrap in my hospital bag.

Also does anyone else knit/crochet? Chloe I know you said you'd learnt to crochet? I am desperate to finish the jumper I'm knitting for hubby so I can make some things for baby. There's a designer on Ravelry called Amanda Chapman, her business is called Newborn Knots, and I've bought so many of her beautiful crochet patterns in her (very regular) sales. Also one called Little Doolally who does beautiful retro-style blankets...

Time to stop rambling and do some knitting!

I baby wore quite a bit with my son but plan to do so more with this little one. I'll use the moby when they're small but I bought a full buckle carrier for when they're a bit bigger this time. I think the main reason I stopped last time was I didn't have a good enough carrier. I just had a cheap knock off mai tei and I found it really awkward to use.

i have a babyhawk and use it currently with my two boys and will use it again for squishy - might invest in an extra one tho so daddy and i can wear at same time

It looks like I can add people using their emails that they used to sign up with facebook. If you want to join please send me your email. I think the reason the link wasn't working is because the group is secret so no one can access unless they are a member.

Welcome bellezzajess, Tricks26, and xCherylx I've added you to the front page

aley28: so sorry you are so sick has anything helped?

frantastic20: I tried babywearing with dd, she didn't like it she has always hated being restrainted in any way. Carseats, strollers, etc. hopefully if I start right w
away with #2 they will like it. Will make taking care of a toddler at the same time easier! I also crochet, my favorite is making hats for dd, though it's so hard to find the free time! I will make some newborn ones for sure though like I did for dd

MissyMojo: great stash found! DD is only 15 months so we saved everything from her too. I got everything minus clothes gender neutral so no matter what we can use it all again. We only need some clothes if it's a boy. If a girl then we need nothing!

For the ladies who are cramping, where are you feeling cramping and how does it feel? I've been having lower stomach cramping like right by my pubic bone area that can get pretty intense at times.

 

[DHBH0930]

Same as many of you, super tired. Anyone else can't sleep for no apparent reason? I just toss and turn all night. Sometimes I have to pee, or have restless legs, but MANY times I'm just waking up feeling restless all over like I'm caffinated but I'm not super frustrating since all I want to so is sleep, but I cant!

Also anyone else feeling round ligament pain yet? I remember pulling them when I was huge with dd and getting out of bed. I already feel them pulling when I switch sides in bed.

No other symptoms here, just tired... so I basically forget I'm pregnant. Not gonna complain though!

Getting a lot of projects done outside while I'm still feeling good.

Hope you ladies with bad ms start getting some relief soon!

I babywore a little bit with a rose and rebellion. I'm planning on doing it more this time starting with a close caboo then a ring sling. I went to the local sling
meet the other day and have a baby wearing friend for advice!
I used to wear my son when walking the dog and found it really handy, and this time I'll need to walk him to preschool every morning so I think wearing is the way forward!
I've been waking to pee between 4 and 6am every morning, with all day nausea but only one session of being sick!

 

[aley28]

Babywearing; me!! I only wore my first baby a couple of times, as I just couldn't quite figure out the point of it I wore my second baby a LOT, starting when he was itty bitty. I had a mai tei (homemade by a friend) at the start, and bought a woven wrap (Ellaroo) when he was 4 months old. I'm SO EXCITED to baby wear again I wear my youngest niece when I babysit her lol, its impossible to resist I do want a buckled carrier this time, but we'll see. Money is going to be a bit tight, and as much as I hate to admit it, baby carriers are not a necessity - especially as I already have two.

DHBH; haven't figured out the magic cure for me yet. Nibbling crackers or plain bread helps a bit, sorta... or it at least gives me something *to* throw up, IYKWIM. Gonna get some ginger ale at the store next time... I remember it helped in my past pregnancies.
Not surprisingly, I've lost a couple pounds this week. Between the nausea, the vomiting, and the stomach which is apparently the size of a grape, I guess its to be expected. Not concerned about it though.
I'm planning to ask for Zofran at my appointment tomorrow -- mostly just so I can have some on hand for the bad days, I don't want to be on any meds daily just yet! Its a miracle if I can remember my vitamin

Around 6 weeks is definitely when symptoms really start kicking in!!! I keep telling myself I'll feel better in about 6 or 7 more weeks.

 

[CertainTurton]

Having a really hard day today just feeling really emotional, tired and nauseous. Its my dd 3rd birthday so been manic, fun but crazy busy! Also a mixture of excited and petrified about my scan tomorrow. ..justpraying all is well.
I think im off to bed...

 

[Tricks26]

Evening all,

So tired can't sleep don't know how I'm going to make it another 8 weeks before I see my little dot!!!
So scared can't quite believe that I have my BFP after 4 years of TTC

 

[littlesteph]

i'm still cramping, mines kinda where I get ovulation pains mostly, it has been quite sharp, at the moment its more of an ache

 

[lomelindi17]

Hey there, I'm feeling really quite well so far, bit tired but actually less than last week. Hope it lasts!! I'm optimistic that since I've not had any sickness with my levels so high hopefully it stays away. Hubby got home this morning (he left on O day!) so I'm happy about that!!

I plan on babywearing, quite excited about it, can't wait! I did with one baby I nannied for since she was a preemie and had to be constantly held, worked great. I was planning to get the Ergo Baby 360 since you can do back or front facing, and the Baby K'tan for the newborn stage. Hubby is a lot bigger than me so we'll get the infant insert for the Ergo too since he won't fit in the same size K'tan as me. Love hearing other ladies' carrier choices, haven't heard of any of those brands before, there are so many out there and I thought I had researched it pretty well lol! Soooo many baby products ahhhh!! And I wish I knew how to knit! Tried it once and failed miserably haha.

 

[littlesteph]

I can't baby wear because of my back , bit disappointed really, was meant to be getting referred for an MRI for my back at the end of the month, looks like that's going to be put on hold lol.
my cramping is no longer just an ache it actually quite hurts, almost bent over in double. got doctors on Tuesday so will talk to him about it then, slightly worried about possible rupture, as I had a section a year ago and another one a year before that. As much as this pregnancy was not planned I don't want anything bad to happen to baby or myself.

 

[klsltsp]

hey ladies...

the nauseau has definitely kicked in... and the major food aversions... I am currently done with yogurt and chicken.. red meat is looking like it will be gone soon too.. hahaha oh boy...

little steph I too have had 2 c-sections, I had a pregnancy about 18 months after my second where baby implanted on my c-section scar, I did miscarry, it's called an ectopic on c-section scar. For me, I didn't have any pain... if the pain becomes too much you should head in to the ER... I have a scan on tuesday, and it's to check if this baby is on my scar... the good news is that it is very very very rare... so you're likely just stretching your scar and nothing to worry about do you get a scan at your apt on tuesday?

I don't do the babywearing thing hahaha

beneath hope that everything is okay. I've had cramping, more of a dull ache.
