Babies Due Dec 5- 15 ish??

[sp92]

Hi all! I'm due December 11 (based on LMP, will know for sure when I have my scan). xx

 

[MouseyMom]

Welcome sp92!

I'm due on Dec. 11 too! I have my first scan on May 2 so it might change. Any symptoms yet?

So regarding our convo yesterday on symptoms and spouses. I got my revenge today lol. Last night we went to dinner with friends and DF wrestled with our friends son who is 11 and about 100lb. Well, the way DF picked him up to do a wrestling move hurt his back so he's had bad back pain all night and today. To help with the back pain he took some pain meds last night and when they didn't work he decided to add Ibuprofen. Half hour later everything is woozy and he's very nauseaous. So all day today he has back pain, gas, and nausea and is miserable. I was actually having a good day and he was just being oh so sick and couldn't drive or anything. I told him I had no sympathy for him since he made fun of my symptoms the day before. KARMA hunnie! LOL! I let him know that this is temporary for him but this is something I deal with on MORE than one occasion. Maybe that'll teach him.

On another note, I won't be going to the funeral. There is a memorial and a celebration of his life on Saturday but it is at 10am and DF won't be home from work and I would rather not take my DD. I don't think it's a place to have young children who have the potential to cry/scream etc. I don't want to add anymore stress than there will already be. I did go on his memorial website and add a note and light a candle so that makes me feel a lil better.

How is everyone doing?

 

[mummy_em]

Hi All just thought I would say hello I'm due on the 13th xx

 

[GenYsuperlady]

Omg that is toooo funny about your OH!!! I need that to happen to mine. And I am glad that they had the memorial website for you, it so that you thought you could leave a message.
I was up for three hours in the middle of the night last night with nausea. I read every possible tape online, and have now sent the husband out to get me something cracker-like to eat before I get out of bed. He was acting a bit snotty about it, but at least he went. I mean seriously, it was so bad that I had to sleep with a ginger tea bag sitting on my face, because the smell helped! I am thisclose to bagging the rest the trip and just flying home, I am miserable! I want my mommy…

 

[sp92]

MouseyMom, thanks! Aw you're lucky your scan isn't too far away! I just got my first appointment through today, my booking in is the 30th April, but my first scan isn't until 29th May. Seems so far away!

Symptom wise, I think they've lessened a little bit this week. Last week, my boobs were killing me, I was crampy and I felt nauseous. This week I'm just tired, peeing a lot, I have headaches and feels like lots of strange things are going on inside my body - but I guess they are! What about you? xx

 

[MouseyMom]

Welcome Mummy! How is everything going?

Gen-It was HILARIOUS! Except the fact he acted like a big baby about it and I ended up having to drive to my daughters aquatic therapy AND back for a grand total of 6 HOURS OF DRIVING! Now I have a sore throat today from getting run down so I am not happy with DF at all! He told me to just take vitamin C supplements but from what I've read we already get enough Vitamin C in prenatals and it's not neccessary (or totally safe) to take extra supplements. And of course EVERY single tea I have in my kitchen has an ingredient I am not supposed to have. I think I will have to go to the grocery store and pick up lemon and honey and just have hot tea with it. I have a Babies-R-Us about 40 minutes away and they have a bunch of stuff to help pregnant women so they might have safe tea but do I really want to drive that long just to see they don't have it? I might get escorted out lol! Soooo sorry about your nausea!! Mine hasn't been too bad and is getting a bit better thankfully. I noticed the orange juice in the morning was NOT helping my nausea! That sucks that DH was being snotty...been there done that lol. When I was pregnant with DD I was craving yellow cake. We had a Publix right down the road and he refused to go for me. So I took his brand new Dodge Ram instead of my car and got it myself. Needless to see all they had were giant birthday cakes so I came home with a quarter sheet of birthday cake. He ate cake for breakfast for two weeks. We're the pregnant and miserable ones but it's nothing...and then when they get sick its the end of the world! LOL I now know why we are the ones who have babies lol!

Sp92- I'm doing quite well. Boobs are feeling a bit better. When I would fall asleep on my back and they would be stiff for a few hours, I would wake up and be in tears if I turned to my side. Nausea is on and off but I heard that is normal too. Still get cramps on and off and the back pain is hurting the most

Well today is my day to clean because I don't have any more dishes that are clean. Ugh...I've never been this messy or tired. I'm so used to doing everything because of DF work schedule! I do the housework, yard work, detail the cars, detail the boat, clean the garage, clean the animals, trash....ALL OF IT. And now I gotta take it easy. I'm not complaining because it's nice to rest but its so weird!

 

[MouseyMom]

Well today was a tiring day. I didn't want to take anything for my sore throat so I kept looking at what teas I am able to drink. Certain teas aren't good for your baby and can cause you to miscarry or cause your body to block folic acid. No herbal teas and no caffienated teas. Well...I went through my closet and out of the 9 different teas I had and ALL of them had ingredients that I am not supposed to have. WTF! Ended up buying black decaffienated tea (decaffiented black/green tea is okay) and bought honey (stupid honey wouldn't say if it was pasteurized but it didn't say raw, so it should be fine. Bought it at Target) and got some lemon juice. Ahhh relief will be near! Then I went next door to Babies-R-Us with DF and bought me some preggie pop drops. Got two containers for myself, one for home and one in my purse. I already got into them and boy do they work! We of course couldn't help ourselves and started looking at baby stuff. Of course we don't know the sex of the baby is yet but DF is certain it is a boy. We'll see lol. We'd like a boy but if it is healthy, I could care less if it's a girl or boy. We are pretty much telling all of our friends now. Pretty much everyone knows anyways and the way we are looking at it, the more people know about it the more people will be praying for us to have a healthy pregnancy. It scares me so much that things might go wrong in the pregnancy like with DD. DF and I both have a sense of calmness though so I am taking that as a good sign. Newest symptom- SMELLS! I swear I smell like a dog or cat now and I smell so many different things in my house. And not good I don't have a stinky house but little things definitely make my stomach curl. I can't even open the fridge without holding my breath. I bought candles today on sale at Target for the house so maybe that will help with not smelling so many things. Nausea isn't too bad but its making my tastebuds nuts and I don't want any food. NOTHING sounds satisfying How the heck am I supposed to get nutrition when nothing is good! Everything I want has to be bland. (Chicken, sweet potatoes, etc.) Can't eat a bunch of fruit like I want to because the acidity is coming up too. Sorry I am complaining tonight girls...DF still has no sympathy for my symptoms, lol. Well I am off to bed soon...hope ya'll had a great day!

 

[GenYsuperlady]

Mousey I'm with you 100%. Everyday the smell issue gets more intense! Today we were brought breakfast in our BnB (in Rome now) and it had prosciutto and salami...and I had to go sit in the bathroom while DH (can I really still give him the D?) sat in bed and enjoyed it thoroughly. I did get a plain croissant down but that's it. I can't do anything with acid either...I just want potatoes too!!!!

At this point I'm desperate just to go home . I know DH is trying to be somewhat understanding but he's just not cutting it. I want my mommy!!!!!!

 

[MouseyMom]

I'm sooo sorry you are on such a wonderful vacation and feel so crappy. I don't understand our guys, they need to be a little (a lot) more understanding.money is coming around but makes fun of my symptoms! Unfortunately I don't have my mother to run to. We haven't spoken in 4 years. We had a giant falling out due to the douchebag druggie trucker who she married. That's not all, she said since DF and I are together I have changed and have my head up my ass now that I have money (hmmm where is it???)I and then made horrible comments about my DD. I have my father and my in laws and that's it. Oh well what ya gonna do. My mother lives 10 min away from my MIL and they work in the same mall and she has never once asked how I or DD are doing so I don't plan on telling her about this pregnancy. Enough about that I hope you start feeling a lil better Gen! I am starting to a bit so I will send some luck your way!

 

[MouseyMom]

Ugh...feel like I've got a slight allergy cold today. DF is being very sweet though. Maybe I cracked him??? He said he would go to the bank for me and then realized he wouldn't have time so I got ready to go and left the house and noticed I had a text on my phone from him stating that he has a few extra minutes and he'll do it so I can stay home and relax...and ended with an I love you. Cue AWWWWWW. So I've heard that you start showing earlier in your second pregnancy and I am only 6 weeks and 3 days and my jeans are so uncomfortable. I've gained about 2-3lb (could be water weight too) And I swear it is all in my boobs and lower stomach. If I could stay in pj's all day, I would! Hopefully this feeling will stop. I told DF that I probably need to start shopping next week for maybe some dresses. I found these adorable summer kimono dresses at Target for $17 but I think I will try Bealls Outlet first. One- They are cheaper. Two-I have a lovely little credit card to there that currently has NO balance. Kind of win win Eating has been a hassle yet again today. Breakfast I had two different kinds of cereal (Chocolate crispies DID not do it, but Smackers did quite nicely) and got into a box of Cheez It Snack mix and that did WONDERS for my nausea! I'm trying to drink more water too but started adding lemon juice so maybe I'll like it more. Going to be stopping at the grocery store later to pick up some low sodium V8 and possibly some sort of juice that will fulfill my fruit for the day until I like food again. I don't think I am getting much nutrition from grains lol. Hope all is well ladies!

 

[GenYsuperlady]

Hello to the new girls! Congrats on the bfps, how are you all feeling?

Mousey - so glad to hear DF picked up the slack. What a love!

I've no idea what I weigh bc I obviously have some vacation weight and bloating, but pants were definitely tight before we left. I'm not showing at all but so bloated by the end of the day I look 4 months along! I got some of those Bella bands to hold my pants up when unbuttoned which helps...thank goodness I wear scrubs every day

DH and I did the entire Vatican City today - it was truly amazing but omg these old ladies were getting on fine and I was resting every 15 mins! Thankfully nausea abated by noon or so and was gone most of the afternoon! DH and I took a quick nap and then continued our wandering of Rome on foot. We must have walked 15+ miles today! DH was so sweet after we got back -- my feet and back were killing me so he drew me a bubble bath

Tomorrow we take the loooong journey home, and I'm soooo ready to snuggle in my own bed with my man and my dog. Oh and go grocery shopping for soup ingredients...ALL I want is soup!!! I know I'm not getting good nutrition at the moment either but everything I've read says that's okay, and that's what the prenatal vitamin is for! I just dread what a 95% carb diet is going to do for my post-baby waist line

 

[MouseyMom]

Lol! Yeah me too with carbs! That's so sweet of your DH, maybe he's getting the hint! I was talking to DF this morning about my symptoms and allergies and he tells me I am taking the hotness out of pregnancy! Hotness and pregnancy??? I told him the only hotness in pregnancy I am currently experiencing is when I have to turn the air down to 65 degrees! He then proceeds to ask me why I am feeling so much with this pregnancy........how the #$%! Should I know???? I told him maybe I have high hormone levels. Then he asks me why again. I swear if he was next to me I would have smacked him. Now I am worried why I am feeling so crappy what if it means something is wrong? Ugh...great start to my weekend.

 

[mummy_em]

I feel really crappy 24/7 nausea wich is driving me mad today I feel exhausted a d keep randomly crying so a hormonal wreck really lol xx

 

[MouseyMom]

Well that makes me feel better mummy. I wasn't like this the first time around 6 years ago but only had nausea and pregnancy was not normal my current daily symptoms are:

Some nausea (especially if hungry)
lower back pain
Fatigue
cramps (though they are lessening each day, barely there)
boobs hurt (getting better)
insomnia (wake up at around 1am and takes a bit to fall back asleep)

It SOUNDS normal but DF made me start to freak out with worry. I just can't wait till my scan to see everything is looking good. Unfortunately I will have more worry until nearly 16 weeks because that is when I will know that baby doesn't have same diagnosis as DD. Her genetic doctors said there is a slim/no chance of it happening again but I still worry. I'm not trying to scare you ladies with my issues its just that I honestly have no one else to talk to. I just gotta relax and pray I guess. Any extra prayers will be appreciated.

Hope you feel better soon mummy! Have you tried sucking on hard candy? It is supposed to help with nausea. Bread and smoothies have been helping me.

Glad you are on your way home Gen! I bet you'll feel a lil better being in your home environment! Have a safe trip home hun!

 

[mummy_em]

It must be so worrying for you I am currently eating a bowl of boiled potatoes and it's going down nicely lol my nausea has got worse each time hoping it won't stay for long I hate walking around feeling like I could be sick any second haven't been sick though thank goodness just noticed we are only 2 days apart in our datesy boobs also hurt and I have been having trouble falling asleep and if I wake up I can not get back to sleep going to try and have an early night tonight I think xx

 

[MouseyMom]

Hmmm potatoes. I am gonna have to do that. I swear all I want is cereal and pbj's or pb and honey. I am in love with my cheez it snack mix! Carbs definitely are helping

 

[mummy_em]

The one thing that I found did help is cheese every now and again random I know but really did help lol

 

[MouseyMom]

I was OBSESSED with dairy about a week and a half ago lol! I've also been enjoying iced water with lemon. I just get the ReaLemon juice instead of real lemons. They would go bad on me...plus I am way too lazy to cut them up bwahahaha! I think it really helped with my tummy bloating! I still feel bigger but don't really look it lol.

 

[MouseyMom]

So I have a new symptom to report and mind you it is a WEIRD one. After I gave DD a bath today...my pubic bone...start to vibrate??? I swear it was like I had my the phone 'there' and the vibration from my alarm kept going off. I of course started research and I guess it's normal because other women have had it too who are around 6-8 weeks and then again towards the end of their pregnancy. Not sure exactly what it is but it sounds like something with your nerves, or extra blood flow, or a simple muscle spasm. SO WEIRD! I seriously can't wait until my scan! I had an AWESOME dinner tonight! I made myself Digorno pizza in my toaster oven and DF brought home Cannolis! He even called since he was at the auto part store and asked if I wanted anything at the grocery store so I got my low sodium V8 and V8 splash and let me just say it taste SO good to have something other than sprite, water, or ginger ale! And I am putting my hormones to the test and watching Armageddon on TV with DF. I've almost started crying twice before they even land on the stupid asteroid. I swear I am probably going to bawl like a baby at the end. I already warned DF. Alritey, well hope all is well with you ladies!!

 

[MouseyMom]

Thought I would post because I am having an awful night. I finally start getting sleepy around midnite and go to bed while DF watches TV. I go to kiss him goodnight and I am trying to get around his fold up table and slam my leg into the glass side table. After cursing incessively, he tells me I need to pay attention in a very rude manner. So I slam the table where it belongs and go to bed. DF comes in an hour later after I am finally in a deep sleep and wants his pillow back (no biggie) and then proceeds to start trying to get me 'in the mood'. I was not a happy person because he knows I have been having issues sleeping and I'm sorry but grabbing my aching boobs that are killing me and breathing into my ear while I am dying of heat is NOT my idea of 'a good mood'. So I tell him to stop because its way too hot in the room. Which mind you he has done the same thing. Now I have an AH instead of a DF (AH as in A******!) And proceed to get a "Great, I get to deal with this **** for another 9 months!" So I grabbed my pillow and went to the (awful) couch. I am just so hurt and upset right now that he has to act like that. Same shit happened with DD so I don't know why would be any different this time around. You would think your SO would be a little nicer, especially the way I have been feeling lately. He will be nice one minute and the next he's Mr. Hyde. I'm sorry ladies, I don't mean to impose upon you guys. It's 2 am and I am crying on the couch wondering how the hell I am going to get through the next 9 months with these issues. I wish would realize that when I wake up, it seems like my body temp went up 10 degrees and maybe if he would like a better response from me, he should do it in a better way and not like a damn cave man. So now I feel stupid for laying on the couch even though it is hurting my already hurting lower back but I don't want to go back to bed with someone who obviously doesn't care about my feelings, especially when I am pregnant. This is such bullcrap...it is going to be a great Sunday. Hope you ladies have a better one
