Buddies for Late January/Early February Babies!

[AmandaBanana]

I know a few people, my mom included, who have nerve damage from epidurals.
I have a terrible back as it is, lower disks worn down, siatic nerve close to surface, although this may cause me more pain during labor, I just can't, and am too scared frankly, to get an epidural!

Michele, my Drs and I aren't concerned over the lack of pole, we know thats normal, it's that my levels are slowing down and that I'm measuring a week behind. That's exact pattern my last MC followed

 

[Micheleb87]

Amanda, that is really scary! I also read it's common to have them poke the wrong place and leave you with a really horrible headache that lasts for months. And there are a lot of worse things that can go wrong that are just not as common. Scary stuff...

Navy, I'm really sorry :-/ but don't give up hope yet! Do they get the weeks measurement from the yolk sac, or how does that work? Are you still having syptoms? How are you feeling?

 

[NavyLadybug]

Measurement is from the gestational sac this early. Once a fetal pole/baby is found they start using that

I'm trying to stay upbeat so I bought 2 blankets and baby book (all gender neutral but still fitting our theme which is Mint Green, Grey/White and Pastel Orange with Foxes and Owls) and I also found the diaper bag I want if the baby is a girl. It's helped bring my mood up a bit. I know its probably dumb to buy them but I couldn't help myself.

Those are all cute!! Even if this isn't your rainbow baby, are you going to keep trying?
Don't mean for that to sound like a downer thing. I have every hope for you and it's great to keep spirits up!

 

[NavyLadybug]

If this is another loses than DH and I plan on trying again when he gets back

 

[Micheleb87]

Omg, love the owls and foxes! One of the fabrics I bought to make baby a dress has little foxes on it lol. That diaper bag is frickin adorable. I think I want the same one now! Haha. And not dumb at all! It's amazing how quickly love can grow for a little baby and it's great to be able to express that. It really is a miracle to have anther tiny life growing inside you. He or she is lucky to have you as a mommy no matter what happens and staying positive can do nothing but help! You've been in my thoughts and I hope so badly this miracle sticks around for you!

 

[NavyLadybug]

Thanks Michele, that means a lot

 

[Micheleb87]

*hugs*

 

[AmandaBanana]

Totally feel the same as Michelle. Perfect words!!

DH has been talking to the baby a bit here and there. I think he feels a little silly doing it. But he's doing it more and it's the cutest thing ever!

He rubs cream on my belly every night and he was like "hi baby. This is your daddy!I love you!"
I died.
Never knew this kind of love only a child can bring. And baby isn't even here yet!! So amazing. 15 days till we find out the gender!!

Also, Amanda thats super cute! DH kisses my belly every night, he starts the day I get a everytime to let the baby know he loves them

 

[AmandaBanana]

What a great deal!!I'll have to look into that.

Aweee how sweet. I love when men are cute like that :$
We were at a party last night (more like small get together). I had a super sharp sudden pain that went away just as quick. But Dh saw me grab myself In pain and was worried all night.
That and he's always rubbing my tummy everywhere we go
Ah! Just an amazing time even through the scary parts ♡

 

[NavyLadybug]

Awww, how sweet!

 

[Micheleb87]

Awww, that's so adorable you guys! OH doesn't talk to baby but he does try to rub my tummy all the time. Unless I'm laying flat on my back, I push his hand away and tell him to stop cause that's my fat and not the baby! Lol! And he'll be like, "but she's in there!" And I'm just like don't touch it! I feel super self conscious lately now that I've gained 20 lbs... :-/

Navy, that is awesome about the diapers and wipes! Was that just a special or an all the time thing?? And thanks for the info!

 

[NavyLadybug]

It was a special, apparently it expired already, but with Amazon Mom you get can 20% off ALL the time.

 

[Micheleb87]

Navy very cute outfits! I bought some adorable gender neutral clothes from Carter's a few weeks ago. Clothes will be the only thing I'll need if baby is a boy. My ultrasound is in 10 days, hoping the tech won't slip with the gender! I wish you didn't have to wait so long for an ultrasound navy. How are you feeling?

I've started feeling movement the past few days (feeling it right now ) has any one else felt anything? This is my second baby so I thought maybe id feel it earlier? This is def the honeymoon stage of pregnancy with more energy and less sickness. I can't wait for my bump to grow a bit more so I feel more comfortable wearing fitted shirts. We should do bump shots soon!

I'm exhausted and worried, but I'm having pregnancy symptoms so I'm trying to stay positive
