Due in July 2012

Greenpear - I personally LOVE Anya

Hey, is anyone else already emotionally unstable? LOL I tend to snap easily now and I get a flash of anger if someone even looks at my cross-eyed. When it's over, I just laugh because of how mad I got so quickly, it's ridiculous. Do you ladies think this is normal at this stage?

 

[greenpear]

Thanks! I'm better this time than last in terms of being emotional, although some thing can make me very sad. Hope your moods won't get in the way too much hun!

Question for everybody: did anyone notice their boobs shrink over the last few days/weeks? Mine were huge in 2ww and now my bloat went away and they are tiny...I'm so puzzled and not sure if that's a good thing or not and whether it is normal...??

 

[SLCMommy]

greenpear- Your boobies are just fine I would assume It's probably just your hormones leveling out, really. Symptoms and signs can come & go in all sorts of strengths, & right now, I don't think breast size should be of anything that would make me be concerned.

 

[greenpear]

Haha you are so right SLCMommy! I'm trying not to focus too much on pregnancy right now so that in case it doesn't work out I won't take it as harshly as I did last time, but I keep catching myself trying to pay attention to my body and decide whether things are going well or not

I really want MS this time around! I would feel sooo much better if I did. I know it sounds stupid and that lots of women have healthy pregnancies without MS but last time it never came and I MC...so this time I hope it comes with vengeance and I have a healthy bean!

 

[beanhunter]

I bet as soon as we get ms we will be complaining about it though but I know what you mean about wanting it. I'm still really crampy. Is that normal? Boobs are so sore but I'm not especially emotional. Just no appetite and difficulty sleeping. Still in shock!

 

[Babykiser]

Lol I wish my little bean would give me some boobs!!! Mine are small! Lol!! Don't worry greenpear as much as I try not too, I symptom spot like crazy. But I'd say so far we are doing just fine

beanhunter- Id swear af was here if I wasn't pregnant! I have those cramps almost everyday, but it's normal. Your body is trying to get ready for the months ahead, I read in one of my baby books that by like 6 weeks your uterus has almost doubled in size!!

 

[lornapj83]

[LilDreamy]

This pregnancy is deffinately playing with my emotions!

I even cried at work today...ahh! lol what the heck??

And man have I been one mean woman.

I think I'm having a boy. I'm acting complete opposite of When I was pregnant with Alexa.

[booklover]

Welcome lorna

How is everyone finding their pregnancies? This is my first. What about everyone else?

 

[SLCMommy]

Hey Everyone, for the last few weeks I barley have ANY motivation to do anything I put up a 4 week pregnancy video on youtube last night. When I told the kids they are having another baby brother or sister, their response is "Well, your gunna wake up in the morning and have to go poop!".....Thanks, Kids.

I need your opinions for those who live in the USA. My DH is the only one who works right now (as I am a stay at home mother). We make a little less than that the guidelines are for WIC for a family of 6 (they count unborn baby). Do you think morally it's okay to sign up for WIC? The only ones that would get anything is my three year old son, and myself since I am pregnant. So I'm guess some milk, some cheese, etc.... & I probably wouldn't be getting a ton of stuff. We are not in desperation, but we could use the help temporarily. We might not even need to continue on it after July when i'm due because hopefully things will be looking up for us than.

 

[LilDreamy]

Hiya. I don't think it's wrong to use WIC. Heck... that's where our Tax Dollars go.
If you guys need or want it, then get it. I think.
I use WIC. I'm not in DESPERATE need of it... not sure many people are(though there are some days I don't know what I would have done without it). But it most deffinately relieves alot of Financial stress. You can always stop getting it when you feel ready to stop. Good luck.

 

[justonemore11]

I'm due July 14th....
I had 2 blood draws so far:
13 dpo 50 HCG
15 dpo 127 HCG
I get another one in a week to make sure all is rising good...
So far the only symptom I have is some cramps, tugging and tighness in my belly
I have 2 kids and I never had 1 symptom with either of them....

Here's to happy and healthy 9 months!

 

[Babykiser]

Lorna and Justonemore- welcome ladies!!! And congrats to you both!!!

SLC- hey Hun, I agree with lildreamy....it's ok to use wic if u need to! That's what it's there for! And don't be ashamed of it either, some ppl try to make it seem like a bad thing to have, but is the total opposite!! It helps families in need I think it's a wonderful program!! xxxx

 

[angieloo]

Can i join too? I am due July 11th with our first after trying for awhile.

So excited!!!

 

[SLCMommy]

Hey ladies. I'm depressed right now First off, our one & only car totally broke down again today, just a month after it broke down the first time. We had to pay $400.00 to get it fixed, but I had to wait three long weeks in order for us to get that money..UGH. Than today, my neighbors (who is one of my SIL and her DH) told my landlord (who is my MIL ... lol, i know...live in apartments but were all close together) that they didn't like my 3 year old's fits today and it makes them have stress. My three year old cried a lot today because he wasn't feeling good. My kids sometimes do throw fits, but they are kids and they do it in their bedrooms usually. (I send them to their rooms when naughty - the 6 and 4 year old). A mother can only do so much, ya know? My DH & I have $6,000 to pay off of court fees, because someone (I really don't want to get into it) tried to take me to court for the custody of my children because they didn't want us moving to Utah. (Hint: my children are not DH's biological) but the judge's verdict was in my favor since I am a good mom, and have not done anything wrong. I'm just at my wits end about my never-ending-bad-luck. I really, really hate to come off as a baby but I need someplace to vent/cry. I thought our car was fixed, my 18 year old SIL was done being a little brat, but now everything is coming back on us again it only makes me feel THAT much more stressed now that I am pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I love this beanie and I do not regret him/her but the way things are right now doesn't look very promising. I'm kind of glad the baby is not due until July because that gives me some time to figure stuff out. DH & I were going to pay off the court fee's and than apply for a home loan next march, while just keeping our smaller car. But, this car keeps breaking down and my in-laws said that they really don't want him borrowing it like he did last month when it broke down to get to work because thats my MILs only car, too. And, I also feel bad my inconviencing them that much. I know God will provide for me, but now i'm just stuck with KNOWING we need a newer/different car because this one isn't worth it....and, I really want out of here. UGH, I don't know..i don't know...i don't know!

I found a place that takes pregnant, uninsured women ( my insurance kicks in January 1st) & give them prenatal care. They said since my first OB appointment with my doctor in next month, I can only be under their care until than (which I'm totally fine with!) but today I got a "pregnancy verification" appointment which I needed for WIC, but they said they would like to give me an ultrasound!! So my ultrasound is November 21st & I will be 6 weeks along.

 

[greenpear]

Aww I'm sorry you had to go through all that trouble with your car hun. And I can imagine how tough it is to deal with everything when your kids are cranky as well - I don't have any yet and I'm soo sooo tired now, I can only imagine how you feel right now!

Woohoo for your ultrasound! This is so exciting!!!! I'm hoping and sending you lot's of good vibes and hope you see your little bean with a heartbeat

 

[LilDreamy]

eek, what alot to deal with!

I have kind of similar issues. We're trying to find a new house too but across the world... And I'll be doing it Alone without OH and I'll have our 1year old with me while 4-5 months preggo. :S

Luckily I don't have unthoughtful people giving me problems. >:l

And just wanted to say, we both have our Uktra sound dates on the same day!!

I think that's my ultrasound day...? it's when my OBGYN appointment is. IDK if thats when they do an ultrasound or not.

 

[Babykiser]

Wow!! sooo sorry u have to deal with all of this! Not having a working car can be a pain in the butt!! Hopefully everything finds a way to work things out!! And although you may not want too, getting a new car may ease some of the stress. You will have the peace of mind knowing that you and your family have a reliable car and don't have to depend on others And how awesome that you are getting an ultrasound!! That's going to be so exciting! Hang in there mama things will get better xxxx

 

[Babykiser]

Angieloo- hello and welcome!! Congrats!!! We are a day apart on our tickers and I also got my bfp on Halloween!!!

 

[Canada8]

Hey all! Can I join the group? My due date is July 13th. I have no symptoms and it makes me nervous....I know I should be happy for that, but I am so nerves!

sLC- sorry you have to deal with all of that...I know you have faith and you will preservere!

I'm so excited about this thread! I was looking for something like this!
