December 2013 babies!

[luz]

Hi ladies! good to see you are all doing well. I've been so nauseous the past two weeks! I've managed to keep it all down, but last night was BAD. I tried to take my pre-natal vitamin and instead of swallowing it gagged on it. I wanted to throw up so bad but the thought of putting my face into the toilet was enough to just sit and do some deep breathing to get through it. I've read nausea peaks around 9-10 weeks then goes down, so i really hope it starts getting better soon.

I've got my next appointment next Tuesday, I know they won't do anything exciting...but at my first appointment the dr confirmed that there is a small lump on top of one of my breasts, he said not to worry too much but to just keep an eye on it. It hasn't gotten any smaller, so they will probably send me for an ultrasound on that just to make sure everything is okay. Supposedly lumps are pretty normal when you are breastfeeding, but i dont know..I'm just a huge worry wart.

Hello!
I am pregnant with my 3rd baby!
My due date is December 29th!

 

[lastchanceiui]

Hi ladies,

I'm from Ottawa and now am 10w4d!!! Due December 1st! As my username states this was my last chance as an IUI. I went through 4 IUIs before this one. I had one more shot at this, and it's truly a miracle this one worked! Going for a doctor's appointment on Monday, cannot wait to have everything in the clear again! Saw the heartbeat at 6w4d, but haven't been to doctor since...

I've been having horrible MS since 5w, my bbs are extremely sore since I found out I was pregnant....

Are any of you ladies showing yet?

welcome!! I think i'm showing, but it's my second so that's what i've attributed it to. With my first i was convinced i was showing by 12 weeks but i don't think i even really started to show until like 25. It was all just bloat!

Have any of you told your families/friends yet? We are going to tell ours next week... i'm so nervous! We bought our LO a little shirt that says i'm going to be a big brother on it. I'm just going to have him wear it to my mom's house when we go over for mothers day on sunday and see how long it takes people to notice then for my in-laws, we're re-creating a funny picture we saw (something like this https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-INjnV5kg.../3Z2G4k0Dedw/s1600/pregnancy-announcement.jpg )and just emailing it to them... we're going to a movie together this week so we'll email it as we are all heading up to the movie and hopefully by the time we get there they've seen it!

I'm also contemplating when to tell people at work. I really need to tell my principal (i'm a teacher) sooner than later. I know i'm not even required by law to say anything, but i really think he'd appreciate knowing before school's out for the summer. Don't you agree? I'm just super nervous to say anything.

Hey girls yay 10 weeks tomorrow getting closer n closer to the safe zone. We have told all our family they are very happy. I received my Doppler few days ago the first day I couldn't find bean cause it said I wouldn't find him till 12 weeks but the second day after looking on YouTube with tips I found him took me prob 30 mins but heart beat was there nice n strong. Then last night I did it again after holding my bladder and much better results, I found baby straight away I kno where he likes to hang out lol n the heart beat was upto 164. I really can't wait to show I'm already a big girl 84 kg so I kno it's gunna take much longer :sad:

 

[Bonnie11]

I'm not showing that anyone would notice but I don't fit into my jeans anymore! Plus had to but some non underwired bras as they were killing me! Bought some maternity leggings the other day as mine were feeling little tight round my middle and they are so comfy!! The only time I show is just bloat but that has been a bit better this past week x

We did the tshirt thing with my parents and inlaws, it took my parents about 30 seconds to notice but it took my mother in law about 2 hours! We had to point out that he had a new tshirt and she should read it! Glad we told them this way it was just hilarious.
Also considering telling my boss as my job is quite physical, even more so since our goods elevator broke down last week! Just really nervous about telling him.

Hey there! My EDD is December 11th!

 

[WeeNugget]

Oh nugget!! Feel for you. I suffer with IC too and used to take prophylactic antibiotics but stopped them a while before I fell pg. have been really conscious of it since I fell pg and am drinking as much water as I can stomach. My mw rang the other day and said my last urine results looked a bit dodgy so I have to repeat then this week. To be honest I know I have a bit of an infection right now but having had IC for 15 years I am pretty practiced at how to manage it. My triggers are fruit juice and sweet sugar drinks, and sweet foods. Have been steering clear of them with my ms anyway.
I feel for you with the ms! Have had a good few days myself but today for no reason it came back to kick my butt again. Like you I have stopped my complete prenatals as I noticed I always felt worse after them and for the moment am just taking folic acid alone. I know it's not ideal but I can't handle the side effects of the others. How far along are you now? Hope you find some relief in 2nd tri, and that your appointments go well. Stay in touch, at least you know we are all here xx

Hey Bonnie,

I just can't seem to catch a break during this pregnancy. I was suffering badly with headaches in my sinuses. So hubby bought me one of those small steam inhalers to help open up my sinuses. Well, a small amount of hot water spilled out on me...I jumped and flipped the entire boiling contents on my stomach and part of my chest. I ended up in the emergency and had to get a dilaudid shot to stop me from going into shock. I now have a dinner plate sized area of 2nd degree burns. Huge quarter sized blisters and am terribly itchy at this point. I swear this poor baby is probably wondering what on earth I am doing to myself. I just hope the whole experience hasn't harmed the wee one in any way.

So now my butt feels like I was kicked by a horse because of that huge needle for the shot. I am covered in goop and bandages. At least I forgot my headache for about a day. I am feeling some uncomfortable pelvic pressure that I hoping is only my uterus stretching for the baby and not my bladder. I am very paranoid about it being my bladder. I am not sure if I will be able to go back on my IC meds until I meet with the new OBGYN next week. I am hoping I can during my 2nd trimester if this discomfort keeps up. I've gotta deal with this burn first before I can really focus on anything else. It is hard to do anything until it starts healing.

Oh...I will be 11 weeks on Friday and will see the doc early next week so I hope to get a much more solid due date and see how the baby is doing.

Hope you are doing well and the ms is easing up for you. I feel much less nausiated lately though still am having an upset digestive system. Ah well. I just have to get through 30 more weeks!

Oh nugget I so feel for you! What your going through sounds pretty horrific!! I'm glad you're getting yourself to a doctor soon. They'll help, and hopefully second trimester will too!!!
I think I'm having it fairly easy in comparison now!
We're all here for you though, keep us up to date, hopefully writing about it helps a little? Xx

Thanks Maxie. It has been a rough week but I am just going to have to push through it. I can honestly say this has been such a terrible experience and nothing like I expected. Hopefully none of this mess has affected the baby. Take care of yourself.

I've told my mother-in-law and my parents. My MIL is a surgical nurse so I have been hammering her with questions since she has pretty much seen everything. I finally told my parents because I needed help with all the mess I have been going through. They are all very happy and I have a strong feeling they all want it to be a girl. Won't tell anyone else till I am past the 12 week mark. Let us know how/when you tell your family and coworkers.

Take care fellow mommies. It really is quite a task making these little guys isn't it?

[Maxie]

Nugget!! Can't believe what you've been through!! Hopefully second trimester is better!
I've got first scan in a week, yay! We've told no one. Our friends obviously know, we were away with them, I was tired, not drinking n not eating what I normally eat. But they can wait, will tell parents first.
Got a lot going on in life apart from this, family problems, DIY in the house, stressful job etc. need a holiday! Lol

 

[luz]

Nugget, i'm so sorry you've had so many things happen to you so far, it's just horrible!!

We did tell my family on Sunday, we just walked into the house and didn't say anything. My mom didn't even notice but when my dad picked up Eliott he noticed right away what the shirt said. he walked into the living room where my mom was and asked if she saw the shirt. She said yeah it just says something about my mommy doesn't it? So he made her read it and her reaction was so funny!! She started laughing then looked at me so seriously and just said "are you really!?" My dad wanted to know "how did this all happen? i mean.. when?" they were pretty surprised when i told them how far along i was. With our first we told them right away.

We're planning to tell my inlaws tonight and i'm a little worried about that. My MIL's reaction to hearing i was pregnant the first time was... "so.... did your birth control just not work?" Not that i care one bit what she thinks about my life, but it's hard when you don't feel supported and loved by your own family.

So ladies, sadly I got very light bleeding this morning which stopped but just to be sure we went to A&E and unfortunately my little bean stopped growing a few weeks ago. I should have been measuring 8 weeks but there was no heartbeat. I'm ok, we haven't had any good luck the last year and this felt too good to be true BUT I'm a pro at picking myself up. This baby wasn't meant to be but the next one's going to be a fighter...best be!! Good luck to the rest of you and remember no matter how tough things get, you're lucky to be mummies to be so treasure it.

Hopefully I'll see some of you on another forum one day with your next bumps and I'll have a matching one!

Lots of Love to you all,

Aleeah xxxxxx

Luz that's so funny! At least you have support from one side, how did it go with the in laws? I'm hoping they were more supportive for you this time round.

We're waiting til after scan, so 6 days to go!! I am a bit anxious, not sure what reactions to expect...
