'Big' girls support thread!

[JNA]

I have a question for all you ladies who have given birth to a child
When did your belly start getting hard?
Im only 8 weeks and my belly is hard to the touch already. Is this normal?

 

[ClaireNicole]

mine didn't get hard untill about halfway!! But I think it depends on what size you are and how your built. Plus every woman is different with every pregnancy every time makes being pregnant not as easy!!

Okay, here is a video that I did last week on the 22nd of my belly moving to the sound of my voice. Let me know what you think.

[ClaireNicole]

You have to have a IMG tag hun... A href is a link to the pictures and BNB doesn't support them

so it would look like this

[ClaireNicole]

Thank you!!! I think shes beautiful too lol! I'm glad you got the hang of it!

 

[Older mother]

Your welcome! I'm just glad she got here safe and sound. Hopefully tomorrow will go well for me. They might not do it if I am still spotting. The last picture is a video I recently took.

 

[Older mother]

Well ladies, it was nice while it lasted. I failed to prove I am pregnant today. A urine and serum test were negative despite all the signs and symptoms. The doctor said that my adrenal gland was probably acting up and that was why I was feeling the movement. She thought it might be adrenal hypertension. My heart is badly bruised but I will move on from this. It's just so much worse this time around. What hurts the most is that my mom and sister will probably gloat about the fact they were right and I was wrong once again. I still won't get the support I need and yearn for. Once again my body let me down and now I fear that there is something wrong that is making me not get pregnant. If only I had a way financially to go to the doctor and find out what keeps going wrong. My blood pressure was up too and she was worried about that. I am going to have the clinic check my blood pressure sometime this week or next week and ask about the adrenal hypertension. It's back to trying to concieve for me. My possible pregnancy is over and done. Good luck with your pregnancies. I wouldn't wish my luck on anyone.

 

[ClaireNicole]

Awwww I'm ss hun! I hope it happens for you soon!!!

 

[Older mother]

Thanks, me too. I am still trying to deal with it. I've already broken down once and fear another breakdown is coming soon. I'm so worried that there is something wrong with me and that is an awful thought. She said that stress might have gotten my hormones out of whack and that could explain part of it, but I know nothing about the adrenal glands.

 

[Sevenladybugs]

I'm so sorry!

 

[jmiller]

Older mother so sorry to hear that.

 

[SoonToBeMum]

i am so so so sorry to hear that hun,
you really deserve it, and it will happen soon!

as for your mum and sister, your a very strong women, i would have told them to go away by now, you need support not bitchiness, if they gloat i would personally tell them that you dont need this, you need support and a shoulder, not another reason to hide your feelings

 

[JNA]

Sorry to hear the bad news Older Mom
Forget about the negativity you get from your mom and sister you can come to us for support

Other news: I went to the doctors today and told them of all my cramping and what I believe to be a painful cervix and they said everything look ok. I have an ultra sound next Wed. so im excited and scared and I dont really know what to expect.

How are you ladies feeling today?

 

[ClaireNicole]

Payson is 8lbs exactly!!!!! That means shes gained 6 oz since last week!!!!!!!! Which means shes growing perfectly and shes just perfect!!!

JNA... I hope your US goes well!!! To soon to see the gender! But my favorite scan pic was our 9 weeker!
