Squirrel, that's a lot different than here! Are all babies delivered by midwives? I guess I'm mostly worried about that number being so high and the possibility of a molar pregnancy :-/ especially since it was at what I thought to be 14 dpo.

Yep. I guess unless there's complications. Also, unless you have a higher risk pregnancy, all of your care from day 1 is with a midwife. In my first pregnancy I went to my first appt and I was like..."aren't you going to do a pregnancy test?" Lol. They just trust the HPTs.

I've been feeling rough today but I can't really put my finger on it. Not exactly nauseous, physically tired but not sleepy, cranky for no reason. I feel like my uterus is already the size of a watermelon because I keep wanting to lean back in my chair to relieve the pressure! Anyone else?

Thanks for the reassurance, squirrel! I will have them done at my initial appointment again on January 2nd. I suppose by then I will have already had my u/s so they can know what's going on. I just wish it were sooner so I wouldn't have to sit and ponder the numbers. They doubled appropriately from 586 to 1700 something 54 hours later, however, I don't know if they were qualitative and quantitative or even the difference between them!

Tori, your levels are fine! Don't forget that levels can go up a lot quicker for mulitples too. Scary thought but it's possible!

LOL...YES! The other day I had to unbutton my pants behind my desk and lean back in my chair because I was so bloated and felt so heavy.

Oh my, I really must get my hands on a raspberry milkshake. I don't like raspberry milkshake but I must have one now!

Haha! Mine today is....pickled onions! I didn't have any cravings in my first pregnancy. The question is if I go and buy some pickled onions, will it be good or will it make me feel

 

[silverbell]

addy - I'm really bloated and have what looks like flab now on my tummy. Trousers are tighter from it. My boobs are also expanding at quite an alarming rate! 1" growth in the last 3 days.

I got 1-2 at 4 weeks exactly (14dpo), 2-3 at 5 weeks (21dpo) and I'm hopeful that at 6 weeks I'll get my 3+ on my last digi. I haven't tested with digis in between, so I've no idea when the levels officially went up.

Only one way to find out I craved sweet with my daughter and savory with my son. Never this early though.

OMG .... Birthday cake! I need more

 

[28329]

Cake sounds good! May have to make a red velvet tomorrow

 

[xEmmaDx]

I'm not having any symptoms today, feel pretty good which I should be thankful for but of course this freaks me out lol. Got a nice dark line this morning so I'm still pregnant just wish I had some symptoms to keep me sane. Still got a little sore boobs but not as bad.

Emma, I'm the same today, but did get a bit of nausea this morning. Half looking forward to 6 weeks when MS kicks in, but I just hope it's not as bad as I had it before!

I'm right there with you. I'm not as far along, but I have had very slight symptoms but today I feel completely normal. Isn't it sad we wish to feel something so we "feel" pregnant? Lol!

 

[28329]

With my son I was 22 weeks before I really felt pregnant. My symptoms started in second tri. But after the second half of my last pregnancy I'm relishing having zero symptoms and feeling like myself. All I'm going through is cravings!

 

[PnkPolkaDots]

You ladies and your food cravings! I'd love a milkshake right now but I've only been able to keep down ginger ale and crackers. Last night for dinner OH made me some pasta with olive oil. The oil didn't sit well though. I've also been extremely tired this week! After OH goes to work I've been taking naps and he still has more energy than me at night even though he's been working 9-10 hour days!

I'm adjusting my sea bands today and hoping to feel well enough later to go out (just groceries, but I want out so bad I'm excited for that! )

Tori molar pregnancies are so incredibly rare! I'm sure it's not that. I really think you're just further along than you think. I think I remember you saying you didn't chart this month so you weren't positive on your o date?

 

[28329]

Tomorrow marks 6 months since I gave birth. I hope this time that I don't have the dreaded back labour and polyhydramnios. I really suffered for 18 weeks.

 

[AerisandAlex]

I'm feeling the same with all you girls... I was driving myself nuts about all the 'what ifs' that I ran out to our local Wal-Mart and got another test... I expecting to get a 2-3weeks but instead I saw this!

What do you girls make of this?

It wasn't FMU either...
First time we tested we had the 1-2 weeks show up on 11/29/13, it's just a week later and now we're getting the 3+!!

DH is dancing around thinking it's multiples, I don't want to get my hopes up but this test really has me wondering now lol

 

[flyingduster]

No ms for me (yet) but my poor boobies are sore now even when I walk quickly and they bouce. When do they get bigger? Hubby is convinced already but I was DD to start with. Plus what actually is a maternity bra?

They can start getting bigger any time now!!! Mine grew hugely and are still pretty huge...
A maternity bra is a bra for breastfeeding in; it has a second wee clip on it to open a flap on the front of the bra so your boob can poke out, but keeps your bra on so you're not actually hanging out!! Lol. They also have no underwire and generally go to big sizes more than regular bras.


I'm beginning to think I'm weird not caring about peeing on another stick!! Lol. I even gave away my two spare tests once I got my BFP. Lol!

Our maternity system is similar to England too. I am not going to bother going to my doc, as he'll just say congratulations and that's about it. Lol!! Here we have midwives for everyone, and high risks may also have an ob as well, but generally only for the birth; the midwife still does the general pregnancy stuff! And we have a single midwife who follows us the whole way, as well as her backup of course. Hospitals have midwives too, but your own midwife will be there too.

I have yet to choose a midwife yet though as we are likely moving town in the new year, so waiting to know either way first!

Thanks! I just got confused as Marks and Spencers have Maternity Bras and Nursing Bras THe only thing I can find different is maternity bras aren't underwired, but I need the support, especially if they keep growing!

I had a friend work in a lingerie shop and she said back extenders will keep you going for a while. Must ask her for advice.
