Hello to the new ladies :wave: welcome!

Good luck Lora with your scan, I'm sure everything will be fine Can't wait to see your picture! xxx

Also I realised I'm here under false pretences I'm more than likely going to have October babies, but do you mind if I stay here?!!

My doppler is coming today, don't have high hopes I'll find anything tho!

Hope everyone has a lovely day, it looks really nice out already

Hello Ema, babymonkey and Rachel

Lora, best of luck with your scan today hun. Enjoy...can't wait to see pics of your growing bubba. And don't even think about leaving the thread if baby ends up being a bit earlier....you're part of the furniture now missus!! Besides, what's a few weeks between friends!

Hope everyone else is doing ok? I am still really tired, it's really hit me this week. I thought tiredness was more prevalent in the first few weeks of tri one, not the last couple? Still, I take it as a good sign that bubba is doing it's thing and growing nicely

Oh yes, I forgot too. OH said we can get a doppler, yay! I wanted to ask him first in case he felt it was a waste of money and we are still saving to pay for our wedding at the mo. I will buy one on payday next week and I will be 12 weeks when it comes so should hopefully be able to find the HB

Do we have any more babies due at the end of the month?

 

[lovehearts]

There must be some ladies over in first Tri. I think the thread got moved really quick to groups and people often dont find us.

Loads of luck today Lora. I cant wait to hear happy news from your scan. Also good luck to tower and anyone else who has appointments and scans today.

[LoraLoo]

Thanks ladies, Ive got myself in a right state. Had a barny with Aaron this morning think I will be going to the scan on my own. Apparently him being there 'wont change the outcome anyway' Im so upset. He knows last time I was alone when i had THAT scan and how upsetting it was for me. He can be so heartless at times. I cant stop shaking, wish I could find the bloody doppler. Sorry for just jumping straight in to talk about myself without commenting on everyone elses posts. Part of me just wants to not go to the scan, ignorance is bliss and all that.

 

[lovehearts]

Oh hun, Im sorry you had a row with Aaron, is there a reason why he isnt going? I agree it wont change the outcome but what if you need support? He should just want to share that special moment with you, after all it is his baby too.

Is there anyone else you can take to the scan with you? Any friends or family? Im sure someone else would love to be there to share in your happy news. xx

 

[3boys]

oh lora im so sorry that you feel so distressed, men can so thick sometimes they just dont seem to see things the same way that we do. Im sure everything will be fine hun and i cant wait to see your pics. x

He was just snappy this morning, said he will be working out of town because of the rain. I reminded him that the scan was at 4 so he would have to be home early and he bit my head off and said he finished early yest so couldnt today. We argued and he told me i could go on my own like he was doing me a favour in the first place going. He should WANT to go, not for me, but for him to see baby too. My friend said she will come but i wont know if aaron has finished until 3.40pm when i drive home from school run past our house, will be too late to call her then. Just wish i could find that bloody doppler, was feeling quite optimistic on sunday when i heard it again, but not any more.

 

[lovehearts]

Maybe he was just in a bad mood this morning and will come around by this afternoon. Fx he makes the right decision and goes with you!! I agree he should want to go to see the baby as much as you do. I hope you find your doppler before this afternoon. massive xxxxxx

Doing ok over here. Just got over a 48 hr migraine, so I'm happy to try and eat and get some rest. Tylenol just doesnt cut it. i am also excited about my first appt next week, but feel like nothing exciting willhappen...they'll take my blood and urine and then see me in a month lol. I want to hear the hb. Do you think.there is a chance I could at 9+5?

I think you may get to at your next one. I saw the HB at the doc office, luckily i have the home Doppler otherwise I wouldn't have heard it yet. I recorded it a few times and showed to doc to verify it was baby's hb. I think it depends on your doc and where you are from really

goodluck for the scan girls i am excited to see the pics tmrw plus i am worried also u know i am a PCOSer so i got my sugar and insulin results today, my sugar is fine its 4.6 mmo1/L but my insulin level is high its 14 mU/L,i am taking 500mg METFORMIN but thinking to increase the dose upto 1000mg for few weeks so i can bring back my insulin level down! what do u guys think about it ? any suggestion? :-/

By insulin level did you mean a hemoglobin A1c? I am a diabetic and mine was high last time too. I take insulin shots they won't let me take Metformin while pregnant. It is an insulin sensitizer and they just want me to play with my insulin doses. I asked at my last OB/ Endocrinology appointment last Wednesday. If they would allow me to take it I would have my Diabetes under a lot better control. Plus, I am a type 1 Diabetic for the past almost 20 years and for some reason these docs think that type 1 should never be on it. I have taken it before when I was a teenager to help keep my insulin doses lower and it helped. At on point I took 1000mg twice per day and it dropped my blood pressure as well as the blood sugars to low so be careful if they do the 1000mg

 

[peanutmomma]

Lora I bet you will have great news when you get back from the scan today
Tower- I am anxiously awaiting your email to me with new pics and your next post on here with wonderful news!!! So excited twin.... I think I am just as anxious for your scan as I am my own. Only 50 hours from this exact moment and I will be getting the warm gel on my tummy!!! Ahh!!!
Ok I will try to play on the computer and research stuff and of course talk on here til we hear from you. Why do I have butterflies now? Oh, yeah that's right...BECAUSE WE ARE TWINS!!
I have a feeling they will move you to just past 13 weeks now Tower
and Lora I bet hubby will feel the fool and be at the scan with you. Then when you get home he will give you the Doppler back too.

Hey thanks Hun for ur reply actually my hubby said to stick with 500mg METFORMIN and control my deit because in this first tri I had lots n lots of carbohydrates and sugar that's why my insulin got higher I'm gonna make my diet strict again to bring it back down. How do u deal with diabetes ? My doc said if I won't control ill have type 2 diabetes so I have to be careful!!
Thanks love

Morning ladies!

Babymonkey18 - Ugghhh.. I have been struggling with almost daily headaches and migraines. I am going to ask my doc about it on Friday, cuz yeah, Tylenol doesn't do s*it. The worst is when I go to bed with them, and then wake up after 8 hours of sleep and the headache hasn't budged. My bump buddy Angeltk42 has heard me ranting a ton about the damn headaches. Thanks Bestie!

As far as feeling movement, this is my second Bubba, and yes, I thought I felt something around 11 weeks. It felt like tiny popcorn near my bikini line! My mom and DH roll their eyes at me cuz it's so early, but I know what movement feels like! I still feel it now and again, it takes me by surprise, but the only way to describe it is like a few little popcorns popping in there!

I have a NT scan on Monday! I have a regular check up (BP, weight check, urine dip, etc) on Friday, but then a scan on Monday. 5 more sleeps until I see the small fry in there! I am trying to stay positive and not be nervous. But I do stupid superstitious things, like I won't wear maternity pants until I see the baby even though I have an obvious bump (I wear my pants undone right now with a Be Band), and I won't move over to second trimester until I see a healthy bubs.

aww I had like one headache to your near constant and I was a big baby about my headache I feel so bad for your constant headaches What are bump buddies for if not to hear each other rant and rave about all our pregnancy woes. All Non-pregger friends want to hear is the good stuff! lol

Can't wait for your u/s I have to live vicariously through you since I have no clue when I'm having one again!

 

[BubsMom17]

Well hopefully when you have your appt on Friday (right?) they'll be able to get one scheduled for you... like we agreed, you have to have the NT scan done before a certain point.

 

[peanutmomma]

I have to check my blood sugar like 7-10 times daily. I do it even more though because I have feelings that are just off. So I probably prick my finger 12-15 times per day. Luckily I do not have any likings to ANYTHING sweet. Before pregnancy I would have a cheat day here and there you have to even my docs said so for the past 20 years. But, the smell of anything sweet makes me nauseous so I am lucky. I have to really follow a stricter diet than before and it is hard most days right now as I am not really hungry and can hardly eat half a meal before I am too full. I love fresh fruits and vegetables so I snack on carrots and celery and apples or pears. I also like meat so I try to make up my own version of the Atkins diet with lots of protein and little carbs.
Are you experiencing any constipation? That will make the numbers go higher too because sugars from food are not absorbed until they reach the intestines so having a full bowel will make the meds not work as well. If you are having the constipation try no sugar added apple juice or a 8 oz. cup of decaf coffee my Docs said that these two will get things going rather quickly and will lower the levels and then you are not putting baby in harms way by taking OTC meds.
Okay, I have to say I am so very happy you came to join us here Ema. I am drawn to commenting on posts that I have read and see you have commented on. I love the name Ema and 8 is my all time favorite and luckiest number. and to top it off we are so close in due dates too. And you are in Australia which I have always wanted to visit. You are def. a keeper in my book!!

As are all of you ladies, sorry I am just really happy today and love everyone I feel like the world has been lifted off my shoulders and I even took the dark blankets off the window in the bedroom as I don't have any complaints nor slightest headache. I am just excited to be a momma in the making and seeing everyone's LO pics this week and for the next few weeks. DH birthday is next Thursday. Just loads of things to look forward to.
And, though I am not a church going type, I am a believer in a higher power I actually sat down earlier and thanked God and my Guardian angels above for allowing me to go through this experience of motherhood. I feel so blessed to be given this chance. I no longer feel inferior as a woman nor do I feel that i am worthless as a wife for I did what doctors have said I couldn't do naturally GET PREGNANT!!!
Here is a picture of my happy self today

 

[zowiey]

Hey Lora, hope everything went ok? I'm guessing if your fella is anything like mine he showed up to the scan and then acted like nothing happened this morning! And he usually twists it, and makes me look like the mardy one because I'm still pissed off with him! Bloody men! Hope you make him pay for it

Peanut- cute bump! You do indeed look very happy, and so you should be! Hope your day continues as fabulously as it started! Ps, what time is it where you are?! I always get really confused I forget we are on different time zones!
