Yay jtr!!!

Sending prayers andrea, let us know how it goes!

Back to work this morning. Whenever I don't get enough sleep with this pregnancy, my tummy doesn't feel the best. So woke up not feeling the best this morning. That's what I was afraid of. Dreading going back to work.

Just checking in before I head off to work. I've been having terrible bouts of vomiting. Yesterday was rough, couldn't keep anything down. I was starving by dinner time but couldn't eat. I took a few bites and back to the bathroom I was. It was the most miserable night. I'm hoping I can make it through the day at work without getting sick.

Hope everyone is well. Excited to hear about all the scans. Mine is in 3 days! Eek!

That's awful gypsy, I hope you are feeling better today and are able to eat!

I bought one of those maternity bands for my jeans last night and had to resort to wearing it today. My stomach is huge. I am so bloated and uncomfortable - guess I'd better get used to it, huh?

Thanks all and congrats on the super scan results, Jtr!

My scan is at 2:30 PM PST. I am guaranteed to be unfocused today due to lack of sleep and anticipation!

Hope your tummy feels better Gypsy!

Fairy - I am so wishing I had a stretchy band today! I'm guessing I'll feel like sausage casing even if I wear yoga pants all day lol. Sometimes those things are worse than jeans for comfort I swear.

Alright - good news to come later, hopefully �� Thank you for the prayers and positive thoughts! ❤️

Lots to catch up on! Good luck everyone on your ultrasounds and congrats to those who've had them already!

My in-laws were visiting all weekend so didn't get much of a chance to come on here.


I had my first doctor's appointment this past weekend. She confirmed the pregnancy and just gave me some requisitions for blood work and I have to go back and see her on the 26th. I'll be 9 weeks then so hopefully will get to go for an ultrasound.

What's a stretchy band? Most of my pants are dress pants or the stretchy fabric ones because I gained like 25 lbs doing fertility. I use to be super fit and now none of my jeans fit. Oh well. If I get to have my baby, it was all worth it, right lol but now I have like 12 pairs of jeans sitting in my closet taunting me.

So I went to the hospital today. They thought I was 16weeks!!! So they took my history and did a blood test. They cancelled my scan and rescheduled a new one in 3 weeks time. I asked them If I could have midwife led care, because the clinic is 5 mins from my house, much handier and the hospital has horrible access. Nope, they won't let me because of my hypothryroidism. I was a bit disappointed with the news but nothing I can do about it.

We went out for lunch, and had veggie sushi so that helped me feel better . Then I decided to ring a private clinic and book a scan. I managed to get a booking for after lunch. Our lil bean looks healthy and wouldn't stop moving despite only being 8 weeks.

Also, for a while now I thought I could feel my uterus when my bladder was full but then again thought it was too early. It turns out I was right, they were able to do an abdominal scan just where I had felt it.

1nce - not sure where you live, but I got mine at Target. Picture attached, if you had never seen these before. If it wasn't for this, I would live like a whale in yoga pants and probably get kicked out of work to go change. It allows you to wear your jeans unbuttoned.

Molly - beautiful bean, yay!

They said that the form I sent said my last period date was on the 9/9/15 instead of the 9/11/15. Dh filled it in so it could be, even though I told him the right date... But they also had other details wrong that couldn't be DH's mistake so I'll never know.

Oh, I bet! I hate jeans too. I can't wait to buy maternity pants, but I can't bring myself to buy any yet. Maybe after next scan when I know everything's good and I'm farther than last time.

 

[andrea929]

That's a nice looking bean there Molly!

Fortunately for me, my boss only wears jeans to dress up. I'm 100% serious! I could wear yogas if I dressed them up but mine feel terrible on me now so that won't happen.

Wore jeans today - and of course put them through the wash last night and they feel awful. I just un did the button and added a rubber band to widen the waistline. They felt like they were pressing on my uterus!

 

[fairycat]

That's how mine felt too andrea.. so uncomfortable!!!

Is anyone having heart flutters? Is this normal?

 

[Tanikins]

Yea, I've been having them. I don't know if it's normal.

I have these all the time, even not pregnant. I can never decide if it's my heart, indigestion, or a spasm.
