**April Bunnies 2015**

[xanzaba]

Sarah- that is so true! I took my dog for a walk this morning and the usual opening of the doggy trash bin started me dry heaving. There were a bunch of people walking their dogs staring at me. I open that bin about 2 to 3 times a day without batting an eye, but the combination of morning sickness (for me, worst in the morning) and the bin was too much!

 

[TaraCathryn]

Sarah isn't that the worst!!

Perplexed I had to use a shield to nurse dd also, even after her tongue tie was diagnosed and clipped. It was the only way she would take the breast, but it made bfing feel pointless too. I don't know, I just hope it goes better this time, I can't go through that again!

I feel crappy today, I slept poorly, it's gloomy out, I'm pissed at a coworker for rifling through my desk when I was out yesterday, and I can't wait to get home and snuggle up!

 

[maggz]

Tara I feel you. I'm an emotional wreck right now.

 

[Oswin]

Oh my god Tara, I hope you put them in their place, what a cheek

And I hope bfing works out smoothly for you this time around, hopefully all the troubles will leave us more prepared. Definitely doesn't sound like it was pointless though, however they get the milk that's made specifically for them is a good way!

I've just had a two and a half hour nap, am exhausted!

hey ladies. wondering if any of you can offer any reassurance or info..

i am 7w today. i had my hcg done last week.. at 6w exactly i was at 20,478. i had a US today and the tech said that baby is measuring at 6w1d. heartbeat was 124. she said the gestational sac is measuring 7w6d. i am freaking out that the baby is 6 days behind. she gave me some vague answers and said i needed to follow up with my dr.. is this a totally bad sign? freaking out..

Lo had a tt when he was born and I successfully bf him without any problems apart from a few issues starting out waiting for my milk to come in etc. They don't routinely release tongue ties in my area so that wasn't really an option. One of the midwives in hospital said I wouldn't be able to bf and was all ready to give him formula but luckily I managed it before it got to that. I have nothing against ff but all my family have bf and I would have felt like such a failure if I hadn't managed it. I was really pissed off at the mw for telling me I wouldn't be able to do it!

I was back at work today am now knackered! It wasn't too bad but I keep on rubbing my belly when I walk down the corridor need to stop that! I can't wait for my scan so I can tell everyone. I wanted to keep it to myself like it was mine and OHs little secret with Sean but I want to tell everyone about it this time! Am going to snuggle up on the sofa and catch up with the millions of things recorded on the sky plus box as hubby is on nights 😁.

Hope everyone is feeling ok not long til 2nd trimester and we will all be leaping about with loads of energy and glowing like film stars 😝.

Wannabemamaz I've no experience with the baby and sac measuring differently, have you made a thread in the First Tri section? I'd say though not to stress, as us at this stage can be very inaccurate as you often can't see baby well, as they're so small, and depending on how they're lying they measure differently! My friend had two different us techs measure baby at the same visit and there was a five day difference between them

 

[xanzaba]

Wanna- You have a strong heartbeat there! It could be you O'ed later than you thought. I wouldn't worry (easier said than done)- she was probably vague because she doesn't know why it's smaller than you thought. They'll probably give you another scan to see if there is normal growth. That's more important than overall size.

 

[RebeccaR19]

Wanna- I haven't even heard of anyone measuring the sac. Out of both of my pregnancies, that has never even happened. And when I had my scan at 7+5, the sac looked gigantic compared to my baby. I thought sac size just varied based on the person. I have seen ultrasounds on here with sacs that look larger and some that look smaller.

Anyway, I wouldn't sweat it if your baby had a great hb. Plus, I do know the measurements are an estimate and babies aren't all exactly the same size at the same point of development.

Oswin- I am on the same page as you today! I took a 2-hour nap. My husband came home early, so I went to sleep when my son did. Then, I stayed asleep while my husband watched him. The only reason why I didn't sleep any longer than that was because he snuck away from Daddy and came to wake me up. lol I am feeling SO GOOD right now though! I needed that nap and I was a complete grump all morning.

What is it with rude coworkers? TaraCathryn- I am so sorry someone went into your desk! I'd be very irritated at that.

Ladies, tomorrow is Friday! This has been a very long week! OH's birthday is Monday so I need to get my shop on. I am definitely getting some maternity pants. I don't think I'm going to make it until my next pay in two weeks time if not. I'm feeling huge!

 

[citymouse]

Hi, ladies, I'm afraid I'm leaving you. My doctor was able to see me before she left town, but we didn't find a heartbeat.

I actually, in a weird way, feel like I knew it was coming. I haven't felt pregnant for the past couple of days, but I kind of didn't notice because I've never really had any symptoms.

So I'm sad but I also feel like this just wasn't the baby that was meant for me. What really stresses me out is the thought of getting pregnant again and having to be afraid for the whole stupid first trimester.

Best of luck and happy and healthy nine months to you all!

Aww city mouse I am so sorry will they re scan? Big hugs xxxx

 

[Oswin]

Citymouse, no, oh god I'm so sorry. I'm devastated for you I don't want you to go...

 

[Eidson23]

I'm so sorry citymouse I hope this turns out to be some sort of miracle for you...

 

[RebeccaR19]

Citymouse- I am so sorry to hear that! You will be missed here. I am also sort of hoping it was some sort of fluke and that somehow things really are okay.

 

[citymouse]

Thanks, guys. Because my doctor was leaving town at lunchtime, she referred me to the fertility specialist we saw for a second opinion. We went directly there and it was confirmed.

I feel like I never settled in to this pregnancy like I did with my daughter. Even things like getting my maternity clothes out of storage, I just kept putting it off. I never felt totally comfortable. I have this feeling like it wasn't meant to be. This little soul was too timid.

We're having some tests done to determine if it was chromosomal, so that will be good to know.

I'll come back and visit in April and see your little sweeties! And hopefully be nice and pregnant with a little rainbow baby by then.

 

[northern_me]

Oh citymouse I'm so sorry. You certainly will be missed here! I'm so sad for you.

 

[sarahok]

I'm so sorry, Citymouse. That is devastating. It sounds like you are keeping a really good attitude about it, though. I know I speak for all of us when I say we're here for you if you need to talk. Hugs, sweetie, and I'm sure your rainbow baby is already on its way.

 

[xanzaba]

Citymouse- so sorry to hear your news. We'll miss your sense of humor and good spirit, but those qualities will also bring you through this hard time.

Good luck with your future bump.
