Do we have many first time mummys? I cant believe I'm back with my 2nd!

This is my first rodeo!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Welcome juless and lemontea and huge congratulations to you both! I'll update you both on to our EDD list as soon as I'm out of the bath

Still testing multiple times daily here if only to see the lines get darker and to help it sink in a little more!

And get a ticker lemontea! Put the group siggy link in there too I'm already looking at prams and I don't even care ha x

 

[LemonTea]

Has anyone else been looking at baby things already!? or I'd it just crazy old, jump-the-gun me? I've been looking at doubles as my DD will only be 26 months when bubs arrives. I'm in love with the iCandy pear :cloud9 x

I bought three pregnancy books yesterday (and I joined this group today), but that's about it -- I am so afraid of jinxing this! I think I'll probably hold off through the first trimester, but then all bets are off!

 

[Blu_Butterfly]

I just called my FS office. They ordered bloods for tomorrow. Ill go in morning before work and they said ill have results by end of day. Fx'd crossed for great results tomorrow

Welcome lemontea!

MizzP I am so thrilled to hear your great news

 

[LemonTea]

Are any of you guys having mild cramping and back pain/ hip or pelvic pain? This has been going on all day and I don't want to take any meds

My only major pregnancy symptom so far has been sporadic but pretty intense cramping -- it started about three days before I found out I was pregnant, and hasn't let up since. It's like a sharp pain every five or six hours or so. I was tentatively diagnosed with endometriosis about six weeks ago, and was supposed to have surgery to remove it next week. I'm reading that for a lot of people with endo, cramps are a big part of the first trimester, so I'm trying not to worry. Plus, I hear it's pretty common even for people who don't have endo, especially if it's your first -- something about the uterus stretching to make room for the growing baby.

I think as long as you're not bleeding, you're supposed to be okay if there's cramping!

 

[LemonTea]

Unless the cramping is very bad, or comes with a show of blood....I count it as a good thing.

Yea, I'm trying to look at it that way too! Hurts like hell, but I just tell myself it's the baby saying "I'm still here!"

 

[mummyof2girlz]

how is everyone? I am starting to feel pregnant i have the worst heart burn ever my bbs are gigantic and so tender, sickness! And i know Its way to early but i keep getting a flickering sensation in my tummy like quickening think Its in my head! i went to weight watchers tonight to be told i can not go anymore so im going to have to have some self control on my own no stuffing cakes all night long lol..

 

[LemonTea]

anyone else getting hot flashes and having trouble sleeping? lol

OMG!!! hot flashes every now and then but I haven't got a good night of rest for the past week... I go to bed at 9 and wake up at 12:00 am then fall back to sleep at 1:30 but wake up at 2. Up for an hour then fall to sleep at 3:30 and back up at 6:30am. And I have work until 6:30pm tonight. I don't know what to do!! Lol. The joys of pregnancy ...gotta love it

Man, I thought I was having insomnia because I was so freaking excited! Turns out it's another pregnancy sign -- I'll take it! I'm so worried about losing this kiddo that I'm practically praying for morning sickness at this point lol

 

[LemonTea]

For those of you seeing a ED/FS, did they bring you back into the office after your BFP or did you simply make your appointment with your OB?

I'm seeing a fertility specialist, and I'm planning to keep going there for scans until I'm out of the clear or until they give me the okay to go to another doctor/midwife. So maybe I'll 'graduate' at 8 weeks? I went there on Tuesday for a blood draw for betas after getting the BFP that morning, and again today for the second beta. Then I'm supposed to have my first scan next Wednesday.

 

[LemonTea]

Hello Snowflakes,

I just came back from my appointment, and since I am so early, they could not confirm if it was ectopic or not. However, the doctor showed me what looked like a gestational sac!! (4 weeks6days). He did not want to confirm that, but it looked just like my daughter's did when I was pregnant with her. As of now, he said my HCG levels have doubled in the last 48 hours which is very good, and I come back in two weeks to get an ultra sound, and this will confirm if there is a baby, and if it is ectopic or not. I am excited and praying everything is fine. But everything is looking great at the moment! Whew! I feel sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better!!!!!

And I know what I saw!!! So blessed and grateful right now!!!

That's awesome!!! I've been worried that they won't be able to see anything when I go in next week - super excited that you could clearly see your baby at 4+6! Best of luck at your next scan!

I'm feeling pretty good! The only pregnancy sign I've noticed over the last few days is the cramping. Before the BFP I thought it was a sure sign of AF, and now with the BFP I know it's something else entirely. It's like a really sharp but quick AF cramp every five or six hours or so -- even at night. I'm taking it as a good sign, but I hear that if it's due to endometriosis, I might have to deal with them throughout the first trimester before they start to level off.

Other than that, I've noticed some lower back pain -- a day before I got the BFP, and then today. No other symptoms, so I'm trying to enjoy it before the nausea starts!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Welcome juless and LemonTea a huge congrats to you both on your BFPs

I have added you both to the EDD list on the first page!

Well, I'm thinking of starting my preggo journal as I feel a bit of a fraud still using my TTC journal! I may have also just bought my double buggy too it can be used as a single though so may use it for DD for the time being x

Ive been having the same cramps they do worry me at times but i can kind of remember it from my other pregnancies but as i wasnt really trying either time i didnt take much notice. Ive noticed so much more this time!

 

[mummyof2girlz]

has anyone been on the Chinese gender predictor yet or is that just me lol!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Yeh I had plenty of cramping and stretching with DD and again this time round.

I did the chinese gender prediction as soon as I got my BFP mine says boy! I also had a conception reading done by Gail last year who said I'd get my BFP in Feb 2012 and would conceive a boy. She was a month off conception but I wonder if she got the sex right!? I'd love a boy although would be more than happy with another girl, but it would be fab to have one of each! xx

 

[mummyof2girlz]

i got boy too Ive two girls so a boy would be brill but you get what your given i suppose would be interesting to see what everyone is predicted and what they have!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Yeh it'll be good to see! I can't wait to find out the sex, 16 weeks seems so far away yet

 

[mummyof2girlz]

i know they couldnt tell me with either of my girls will be fab if i can find out this time im not patient enough to wait! Sooo exciting..

 

[ttc_lolly]

That would drive me crazy! We got a few scans so checked she was still a girl for each one xx

 

[Blu_Butterfly]

Mine said girl..oh how I am hoping for a girl but will be happy to have a healthy baby.

I have 3 stepsons. This is my first and dh and I first together. I'd love to give him his only girl.
