December 2013 babies!

[Aleeah]

I hadn't told anyone but you lovely ladies and you've all been so great. Thank you so much. Statistically one of our beans had to fall, it's fine it was mine. Our journey hadn't been all that tough, it was our first month of trying and this baby was a shock to us. Everything happens for a reason and next time I think we'll both appreciate it so much more. I've still no miscarriage symptoms, so body wants me to stay pregnant, which is very reassuring to me. The baby wasn't strong enough but I'm sure it will be next time.

My advice, trust your instincts, I'm amazed how I didn't feel that protection over my bump the last week, didn't feel pregnant and the scan showed that's when it stopped growing.

Sending you all so much love, seriously you've all been fantastic and I promise to look you all up one day with some positive bump news xxxxx

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.

I somehow missed this post but wanted to weigh in because I'm in a similar situation with people's reactions. We told my parents first (after my first doctor's appointment) and they were shocked considering we haven't really been together too long but in the end very happy. My bf's parents on the other hand didn't take the news so well. They were very upset and disappointed to the point of telling him that he should ask me to terminate. How supportive right? Slowly but surely they are beginning to come around I think considering his mother told him to tell me a happy mother's day from her last weekend. So I don't know but they still aren't real impressed. Frankly we don't really care but I just wanted to let you know you aren't alone if they don't react very well again this time around.

Thanks! We just texted them the picture and then saw them about 45 minutes later. By then I think they'd all had their time to get out their nasty comments to each other and put on a smile for us. my MIL didn't actually even really say anything except for asking when it was due (i can tell she is less than thrilled about it) but my FIL gave me a hug and was telling us congrats and it's going to be another adventure. In the end, i was glad we didn't have to hear their immediate reactions. Now that everyone in the family knows, we can move along and start gearing up to tell the rest of the world!

That's a great idea to tell them before you arrived. I'll have to remember that for the next child

 

[Lilianita]

Hi ladies, I want to join the group!, According to my calculations I am due in december 20!, please add me to the list, It would be great to have a lot of buddies!. This would be my first baby!

 

[Maxie]

Welcome lilianita.

My husband has already decided exactly what to say to his parents! Lol, it's like a little speech! Quite nervous tho.... Oh well, need scan first next week!
Anyone else near their 12 week scan?

 

[Laelani]

I wish I was close to a scan. As it sits right now they are only giving me one and it's not until 20 weeks. So I have little over 9 weeks left until mine. I will however get to hear the heartbeat on June 13 so that should help.

 

[WeeNugget]

Hit the 11 week mark today. I am FINALLY getting into my new Doc this coming Tuesday. I have a huge list of questions and will probably drive him nuts. But before any of that is addressed I need to see wee ones heartbeat again to reassure me all is well. After the whole burning myself incident I have been very worried.

Right now I am fighting a headache and the terrible itch from my burn. Still have quite a bit of pelvic pressure and aches going on. Hubby says my tummy looks bigger, he may be right...I am having to leave my pants unbuttoned. All I know is I am just anxious to get through the weekend and get to my doctors.

I would LOVE a steamy shower right about now but until these wounds are on the mend I won't be able to.

Hope the rest of you are doing well. Thoughts are still with you Aleeah. You are one tough cookie.

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.

Hi Luz did you already tell your family? how that went I guess super exciting!.
I also had to say to my boss as soon as possible for work reasons, I am currently working abroad so it was necessary to tell. I think that it would be good to advice your principal.

 

[Lilianita]

Hi, how is everyone feeling today? has anyone started to exercise a little bit?
Lately I wake up in the mornings feeling as the day before had work out a lot in the gym soo tired!

Can anyone explain to me how to place my fruit ticker in here?

We did tell our families, it went great! Everyone was really supportive and seemed to be excited for us. I think i'm going to tell my principal at the end of next week... i'm starting to show and i don't want people to start wondering before i tell him. He's ben super stressed out the past few weeks because we've been doing our end of year testing. I think we're all done next week so thats when i'll drop the bomb.....

Go to thebump.com and find the tickers, once you generate it you copy the html code that has brackets around it. under quick links on babyandbump you can click edit signature and just paste the code in. It should work! Let us know if it doesn't

 

[Feathers]

Hi guys hope everyone is doing well in their pregnancies ^_^ I'm feeling fine myself although I seem to be working my way through preggo symptoms like no tomorrow (thrush anyone? OMG that was awful. First time ever too).

Just can't seem to kick that zombie feeling and I know it's only going to be worse when bubs arrives with having a toddler as well. Not long till second trimester!

Looks like my dates will be moving forwards, Midwife seems to think planned c-sec will be for 37 weeks ish for me so baby probably will be an early december baby despite the due date!

 

[WeeNugget]

Anyone having vaginal pressure? I am trying to figure out if my bladder is hurting or if my uterus is causing this annoying unpleasant pressure. I feel kinda like I've been kicked down there. It's really starting to wig me out. I had some light brown discharge yesterday too. So I am VERY anxious to get to my Doc appt. on Tuesday.

Just over 11 weeks now and will be 12 by Friday (FYI).

Haven't noticed that sort of feeling, but I'm sure it's fine, of you've had bladder problems before or a change in meds it'll be that I'm sure. They say browns ok n quite normal don't they? Bright red is a concern but can also be nothing. 2 days til my first scan!
I'm still tired but rest of symptoms are generally going, like a crazy person this makes me worry. Husband tells me not to, we'll have the whole of their life to worry!!

 

[WeeNugget]

I have some very bad news. My brown spotting turned red. Was at the Emergency for over 6 hours doing tests that confirmed I had miscarried around 7 weeks. I then went home only to return to the ER as the amount of blood and clots passing was so extreme I was worried about hemorrhage and it was horribly painful. Got IV fluids and meds to try and help me through. Took about 6 hours for the contractions to stop. Going to see the OB tomorrow and find out what kind of follow up I will need.

Sorry to give such terrible news to all you worried mommies. I only wish the best for all of you.

Nugget

 

[Bonnie11]

Oh nugget!! I'm so sorry, and with all you have been through. There are no words I can say, just know that we are all here if you want to talk. Take time and grieve in your own way. Big big hugs xxx

 

[MrsP81]

Nugget I am so terribly sorry to read that. Sending you loads of love xxxx
