Haha, so true! And when I think about it, my mum is currently worrying about me (being preg while facing having to move town on short notice) so I don't think the worry EVER stops; just changes!!! Lol.

I just looked up my old FF chart from TTC Monster, to see when exactly my last AF was... On new years day it will have been three straight years with no AF! woot!!! Ignoring the horrible bleeding ya get after having a baby of course. Lol

Evening ladies!

How is everyone today?

Kirin, I'm glad the cramping went away and you're feeling a bit reassured. These first few weeks are so uncertain. I'm sure we'll all be happen when we're safely out of the first trimester.

I'm sorry a few of you are worried about telling people. We've told our parents and they were happy - though I was interested in seeing that their reactions were quite a bit more subdued than when we revealed we were pregnant with our firstborn.

I was quite upset today, we've had some bad news recently about our son's development (we've been told there's a strong chance he's autistic) and it's shaken me quite badly. I always suspected, but having a body of experts tell you they agree with you is quite a different experience. I've been quite upset, so this morning when I saw another 2-3 weeks test I felt dismayed. Upon cracking it open it doesn't look too different to yesterday's test. I feel so annoyed at myself for wasting these tests. I just want to see a 3+, it's ridiculous. I know now the magic in clearblue's campaign with these tests, they must sell so well because we'll use as many as we can to get a 3+!!

After feeling queasy all day yesterday, I had a bit today, but not as much. I also have very fleeting cramps. Along with the only marginally darker test, I feel really bad today, though I'm sure it's linked to me feeling down about my son's probable diagnosis.

I had my GP appointment today and I was referred to the hospital I want They do their booking in appointments between 7/8 weeks, which is amazing! At my previous hospital they make you wait till 10 weeks. I thik mine will be a bit later though as I turn 7 weeks on Christmas Eve and I doubt I'll get my appointment in the holiday period.

My 6 year old is autistic. It's so hard to deal with it when you realise that something is wrong with your perfect child. My daughter isn't good at knowing the difference of good and bad. She is violent towards teachers and children at school and her attitude is terrible when she's having a wobble. But we have good days and bad days. Her tantrums are hard to deal with and in public it's hard to make her change her attitude. But when you know what causes bad days you can help them get better. I only found out she isn't like a "normal" child a year ago and now I understand her more. I have a 6 month old son and my fiancé works 16 hour days so the children, our home and the dog are all down to me to look after and I'm doing well. If you need someone to talk to then I am happy to reply to any pm from you. I know exactly how you feel but don't think that your world will change. Autistic children are great to be around, be it a good day or bad day. My daughter is my world and I know she will make me proud all day every day

Oh my, the nausea has hit! Full force this morning and lasted all day! If i didn't eat i felt nauseous so i was eating like every 5 minutes and i feel thirsty all the time! Hate the feeling of being sick and feeling sick so trying everything i can to prevent vomiting.

 

[ellitigg]

Oh Squirrel big hugs! That sounds like a rough day. I hope you can find some peace in knowing you have some answers and you can start dealing with it.

I had an ok reaction from my parents. They don't really do 'over the moon' but I knew that. I think DHs mum will be excited. We'll tell her at Christmas.

 

[KirbyT16]

My parents and siblings were excited but my sister has already had two babies. I got a much bigger reaction from the dh's mom and dad- this will be there first grandbaby.

 

[mrsswaffer]

squirrel. Sending love and hugs. It might be a hard road ahead, but it will be just as (if not more so) fulfilling!

Our scan went very well today. Measured right on track for Aug 1 due date! We weren't able to hear the heartbeat because the tech said it was too early, but we saw it! Breath taking sight!!!!

Amazing! When I looked at your scan pic I started tearing up.

 

[SBCookie21]

Thank you!
You're not the only one. When my husband and I saw the heartbeat (which was the only thing I was really looking for) we both fought back tears with quivering lips and big smiles.....it was AMAZING!


Can't wait to see the other scans from you ladies!

 

[flyingduster]

Woohoo!! The first scan pic of the group!! Exciting, and congratulations to having a beating ball of cells!!!! Woop!

 

[PnkPolkaDots]

You make me even more excited for mine next week! I'm already prepping myself to not expect to see much

 

[Leinzlove]

Oh, I'm envious you saw your baby! How amazing! I look forward to it.

 

[tori0713]

Beautiful little baby! So awesome you got to see him/her so early My OB doesn't schedule the appointment until 8 weeks, so I'm still waiting 3 more weeks.

 

[Leinzlove]

Same here Tori! I'm going to try to go during the 7th week though.

 

[AerisandAlex]

Wow, what a beautiful clear scan I'm so jealous lol I can't wait for ours next week, now I'm really excited for it ^_^

I can't wait to see everyone else's scans too! ^_^


Congrats Leinzlove also! Happy Healthy 9 Months!

 

[LilyInk]

A beautiful scan that's for sure. How exciting for you!!

I can't wait to tell our family on Christmas Day that we are expecting our first. I plan on giving my parents a small Mr Men book that has written inside the cover "Please keep me and read this to me in August 2014. Love Baby" My parents will be very excited to have a grandchild that is close enough to visit as all others live a long way away. Will be excited to tell them!

Can't wait for a scan either. That will make it so real. No date for our first scan yet. See doctor on Thursday so might know after that.

So excited!

 

[Luvspnk31]

Squirrel, sending big hugs to you!

I think the reason I'm not anticipating a lot of excitement is because just about everyone pushes me to wait if the subject comes up. My friends who have kids have all stressed I should wait another 5 years, or at least until I'm 30 (I'm 26 now) to have a baby. They say that looking back, they wish they'd have waited a bit longer and had more fun, traveled, went back to school, etc, etc before having a baby. Being a mother has always been my lifelong dream, so it annoys me a bit that they say things like this to me just because it wasn't their dream. Then my friends who don't have kids want my to wait because I'm one of their few friends left without kids and they aren't ready themselves to have kids. That one's pure selfishness really, but on a level I can understand.

My parents, I think, would just like to see me more stable. Not that I'm UNstable but OH and I just recently moved in together and aren't married yet (though we've been together for almost 11 years). I absolutely know he's my soulmate, no doubt about it. But since we met so young I think my parents worry that I didn't "experience" enough before choosing him, and they would hate to see us not work eventually after having children. We also aren't in an ideal place financially. I can understand it from their perspective as my parents, but it's my life and I know these are the right choices for me and my OH.

What's weird though, is that maybe my mom feels different lately. A few weeks ago I was at my mom's house and noticed she had hot chocolate mix in the cupboard. My parents never drink hot chocolate but I always do. I mentioned it and she said, "I got that so you and your brother could have some when you come over. I got it for my kids... not my grandkids though. Don't have any of those yet." Nobody even said a thing about grandkids

It's such a bummer not to be as excited because we're too worried about everyone else, isn't it?? My DH has been stressed more this time, with the whole finances and stuff, but when I told him one of the reasons I wanted to wait was because of others reactions, he encouraged me not to worry. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it helped to hear it from him.

Squirrel, I just wanted to let you know ur in my thoughts. My sis in law has one with aspergers, and I have 2 with ADHD, one who also exhibits ASD mannerisms. I know it's a lot to process, but it will be ok. One day at a time.


On a weird note, had the strangest dream last night. I was in the hospital getting ready to deliver, and hadn't even had one dr.'s appt. it was so vivid, which I know is normal for pg. I was almost surprised to wake up at home,lol.


Congrats Cookie!!! Can't wait to see everyone's scans!
