Congrats Mommies! Just got my BPF yesterday. Looking for journey friends. EDD OCT 27

[mrsholland713]

It's pretty devastating. I'm going to make my new goal to lose weight and get my diabetes in better control and try again when the time is right. Thank you all for the support. I wish you ask a happy and healthy 9/8/7...wherever you are in your journey

Oh no. Sorry to hear this Amy. Sending prayers your way.

How is everyone feeling Today? A sudden wave of exhaustion hit me this morning and I've barely been out of bed and its almost 2pm! Otherwise I'm feeling ok... here's today's bump picture ☺

 

[nmpjcp2015]

Goodness gracious! That's a serious 11 week dump. I haven't been taking any pictures... I need to take one nowt that I'm in the 2nd trimester.

I'm feeling great so far. I know this is going to sound bad, but I really miss drinking wine and craft beer with my hubby while watching sports. Haha, the small things.

In other news, I get a free breast pump AND half off the delivery charges through my insurance for having my baby at the medical center where I work.

 

[nmpjcp2015]

So... I got one of those pregnancy pillows yesterday for a great deal $32 tax included... and idk if it's just be but that thing gave me fits all night. I've been sleeping with an old pillow between my legs and now the pillow has thrown me off. Has anyone else used one... link below.

I'm not getting a pregnancy pillow. When dh noticed i was getting really uncomfortable, he came home with 4 new down feather pillows ☺
I'm getting the same pack n play though! Cute!

 

[mrsholland713]

Oh wow! Nice bump for 11 weeks. I am just starting to show slightly. 7 weeks today and I have my first appointment and ultrasound!

Yes I have a pregnancy pillow and I love it! Helps to support my back. My hubby doesn't like it too much cause it takes up so much of the bed- but he is dealing with it cause he wants to make sure I am comfortable. Here is the one that I have...

It doesn't sound bad. Now that baseball season started again I just want to go to a game and have a beer with OH. And wine sounds so good after a long day. I know the wait will be well worth it tho. So I'm not complaining to much. A girl can dream tho.
I also use a pregnancy pillow. Boppy total body. I love it. OH tends to get jealous of it tho sometimes. Says I pay more attention to the pillow at night then I do him.

Audra that bump is unreal. And super cute!!! U can't hide that from anyone.

MrsHolland good luck at ur appt hope all goes well.

 

[nmpjcp2015]

mrsholland good luck at your appointment!!! let us know how it goes.

 

[mrsholland713]

mrsholland good luck at your appointment!!! let us know how it goes.

Thank you. All went well at my appointment. Baby is measuring right at 7w2d and heart was beating strong at 136 bpm.

I am a little concerned though because I have been spotting for 3 days. Dr. said its normal during the 1st trimester, but I am a little worried because I did not experience this with my first two pregnancies. Anyone else experience this?

 

[flipporama1]

I'm glad your Appointment went well! I've never experienced any bleeding or spotting myself so Idk but if the doctor isn't concerned then I'd say not to worry too much. I know that's hard to do, as I would be worried like crazy. Sorry I'm of no help! Did you get an ultrasound picture?

 

[flipporama1]

mrsholland good luck at your appointment!!! let us know how it goes.

Are you feeling movement yet? I am occasionally, just little flutters here and there....

Not feeling any movement yet...but could definitely see movement on the ultrasound yesterday. Here is a picture. Still so tiny. I am going to try to not worry about the spotting. Dr. said I should only worry if it increases, is bright red, or I begin to cramp.

 

[nmpjcp2015]

I was spotting until around 10-11 weeks. Dr said it was because my cervix was more friable due to pregnancy. We had to abstain from sex for 10 days because basically anything that touched my cervix made it bleed. I wouldn't worry at all unless it's bright red like they said.

I haven't felt any movement at all. I honestly keep forgetting I'm pregnant except for the whole big belly and peeing a lot. I do get headaches easily if I get hungry.

I'm not sure that it should feel like if the baby moves. Maybe I'll feel it in the next month or so closer to 20 weeks.

How's everything flip?

Mrs H your little baby is so cute on that ultrasound. That's what mine looked like last time I saw him/her.

 

[flipporama1]

Everything here is good. The nausea seems to be getting better but it's still there. My appetite is up and all I'm craving is healthy stuff, so that's great! Lol. I've been REALLY tired since I hit 11 weeks. I just can't seem to get up and going in the morning. But it's Nbd because I don't have a set schedule at work. I can go in when I want and leave when I want and its just extra "play" money. I work in dh's office, filling papers and emailing clients. Tuesday is my NT scan and possible gender reveal... I can't wait!!

 

[flipporama1]

I can't stop looking at this belly! I'm so happy today ☺☺☺ i feel so blessed that I can hear the baby's heartbeat everyday and I can't wait to meet this baby

 

[nmpjcp2015]

Whew! I wish my job were more flexible. I'm struggling due to lack of sleep and have several deadlines at once right now. The good thing is that time is passing by fast while I"m at work. The bad thing is that I'm cranky in the mornings. So tired, but blessed to have a great job.

5 more days until I get to see my little baby. I keep forgetting about him/her because I feel so normal outside of being tired. Come on Tuesday!

 

[goneawry]

Hi ladies! Hope we are all going well.

Mrs Holland, I'm so happy to hear you had a good appointment. I wouldn't worry too much about the spotting if your doctor isn't. I haven't had it myself but I've heard it's very common in the 1st tri.

Audra, I'm loving your bump! So cute! Still no bump to speak of for me. If I suck in my stomach I can see something that doesn't suck in, but my husband still says there's not much there lol.

I actually had a scan yesterday! It came out of the blue as I'd only had the appointment since the afternoon before. Basically I registered few weeks ago to be a "model" for an ultrasound training place (docs who want to be able to offer specialised pregnancy ultrasounds). I didn't hear anything back but then they called me on Wednesday afternoon and said they'd had a late cancellation and would I be able to come in the next day? So of course I said yes Little bubs was jumping around heaps and definitely looks like a baby now. We could see the spine and hands/feet so clearly. I'll attach a pic. Bubs was measuring 12w1d, so a little ahead

 

[mrsholland713]

Nice bump flip...Goneawry that is a nice ultrasound picture. Its amazing how fast they grow.

So last night I had to go to the ER, spotting had increased and was varying shades of red. Dr. believes I may have placenta previa. I have been instructed to rest and I have a follow up appointment with my doctor on Tuesday. Bloodwork came back good...HCG was over 42,000.Spotting has cleared up today, so I am hopeful that everything is ok.

My hubby and I have an appointment with the OB-GYN coordinator for history and labwork and tour of the facility this afternoon. I am going to push and see if they will give me an ultrasound to better put my mind at ease (the ER I went to last night could not perform an ultrasound and they wanted to send me 45 miles away to another hospital.)
