Due In May :)

[Hann12]

Thanks - its reassuring to know that you are having different symptoms too. The dizziness is definitely my biggest symtom! Oh that and just being knackered!

 

[Jary]

Hello from New York!

Hope everyone is doing well. Im enjoying my holiday so far but hayfever attacked when i was in central park that and the walking triggered come cramping....its settling now but wondered if any other ladies are feeling more now??? I feel like i have a massive bump already....as in stretched and bloated! i hope its just my little bean growing and not anything to worry about.

so very very tired but i think that is more to do with jet lag. And all day yesterday i kept getting awful awful indigestion whenever i ate something! Bbs arnt too tender although my nipples really hurt when i touch them....kept knocking them by accident this morning (ouch!)

I wouldnt worry Hann! every pregnancy is different and who knows, by next week you may have lovely MS to help you wake up in the morning!

Hi Jary! Glad you made it safely!! I was getting horrible bloating cramps, usually tylenol and eating helped calm it down. I found when I ate mac and cheese for dinner, I didn't have cramps in the middle of the night.. but honestly I haven't been woken up all week, so it seems to have subsided!!!


So my DH and I decided how we are going to find out the gender... since we should find out sometime in December, we decided we are going to have a friend wrap it in a present to put under the tree for us to open Christmas morning. I thought that would be a fun way to find out!!! We might wait and open it with my parents, or rewrap it and give it to them later! I will try to schedule my scan as close to Christmas as possible lol..

That's a GREAT idea!

 

[aknqtpie]

I figured I would share it since we will probably all be getting our gender scans around the same time!

I will be like a little kid before christmas and not be able to sleep I talked to my mom and I am going to have my parents do it.

 

[Hann12]

That is a lovely idea!

Jary - hope you have a great time!! I went up new York when I was 8 weeks with my
DD for my 30th birthday. I loved it despite the intense ms!

I might do my digi in the morning.....nervous!! Really want it to say 3+.....

aknqtpie - That's such a cute idea! I love it! My friends did something fun like that too. They had the ultrasound tech write down the results in an envelope then they brought the envelope to a bakery where they told them to bake a cake and have the inside frosting be pink or blue. They then brought the cake home, had everyone over for dinner and cut into the cake for dessert! They're having a baby boy. I'm choosing to be surprised this time around as we already have one of each and think the surprise will be fun. Hubs wants to find out and doesn't think I'm going to be able to last, but I'll show him! He says he doesn't want a baby dressed in yellow or green and doesn't want everything gender neutral so our compromise is to have the ultrasound tech mail the results to our very best friends in the world so they can buy gender appropriate clothing/blankets/etc. Special people... they'll be the only ones to know!

Hann - episiotomy... yikes! Stubborn little girl you have there! I also have some intense dizziness happening... only in the morning though. My symptoms just don't seem that noticeable yet. Granted I'm only 5+2 so it's early yet, but every twinge in my back or abdomen has me nervous! I check for spotting every time I go to the bathroom. Fx'd for your 3+ tomorrow!

Jary - have fun in NY! That's one of me and hubs' fave places. I've been having some cramping and lower backaches... I think it's all normal, especially if you're walking around and being active. I feel so bloated. My mom says I look like I'm 3-4 months pregnant already because of baby bloat. I showed her online what the embryo looks like at 5 weeks and that's it's the size of a sesame seed and she said, "then why are you so big already?" Ugh.

I've been taking baby aspirin since my MC in June. I plan on taking it til 12 weeks. When are you going to stop it?

He has me on it for the entire pregnancy, starting from my first visit to him - which hasn't happened yet

 

[Megan1986]

I am so excited to join you ladies! I am excited to see some of my buddies from the ttc forum too! Got my first BFP today (my 2nd and 3rd too.....haha) Excited for this journey!

 

[Jary]

Congrats megan!

Thanks ladies NY has been good so far but very busy! Went to a place for pulled pork (thanks man vs food) and i am now even more bloated! surprised i havent popped by now...hehe i never learn, but the food was worth it

Good luck with the digi Hann, i think ill do mine when i get back from holiday

 

[aknqtpie]

Glad you are joining us Megan!

Hi Megan! Congrats!!

I just realized that our EDD is the same Although you said it might be a little shorter since you have a longer cycle.

 

[AerisandAlex]

Wow, all you ladies post faster then I can keep up! lol

I've been bloating and crampy on and off throughout the last few days too, I got scared and called up my Doc and scheduled to have her double check to make sure everything was okay and she said all the levels are still great and doesn't look like anything but normal bloating lol

I was looking into starting a home business with everything going on and thought making Soy Candles looked like a great idea ^_^ I live in Western side of Pennsylvania where there are Flea Markets and Craft Shows in practically every city that run year round so considering I need to be home with my babies, it sounded like a great idea ^_^

My little man Alex needs constant care, not only because he's 2 going on 3, but due to his Asthma, Speech and Language issues that he receives therapy for throughout the week, etc... he hasn't had the best luck starting out but things are looking better

But anyway I figured making candles throughout the week and selling them on the weekend in the Flea Markets might make a good living It'd be my first time trying something like this so I've been trying to find out everything so I can make sure I do it right. So far I found all the best materials are the lowest prices and run the numbers to know how much each candle costs me but still trying to figure out what I should sell them for and what scents to go with... they'll be little 4 oz candles, but they would have such a cute jar to go in ^_^

I'll tell you though, as far as this pregnancy goes, it's much different then any of others and I know that each one is different but this one is soooooooo different! I never had morning sickness with either of my first two or the urge to eat everything I see lol and I'm sooooo exhausted! I feel like I can't get enough sleep! lol

 

[aknqtpie]

If you are making candles, you might also be able to sell them on etsy.com as well!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Congrats megan and welcome !

Im off to the docs today , i know im still eary but theres no harm in getting the ball rolling is there !

For your candles you could also set up a shop on ebay! Xx

 

[Hann12]

Morning everyone!

I love the gender cake story!

So I did the digi, you know how they take 2 minutes to come up, well it took less than 20 seconds seriously and 3+ popped straight up there. I am relieved!!
Felt a bit more nauseous this morning but had some toast and it's gone now. Just gone back into bed as my DH is looking after my DD so I can have a sleep in as I was up with her a lot last night and feel exhausted! At least we are away with my parents and they can help out too. We are meant to be going for dinner tonight, just me and DH so looking forward to that!

Jary - my DH had only just discovered man v food. Hope you are having fun! I'm bloated too, it's pretty amazing how much bloat there is!
Oh and while it's true that the baby is tiny, out uterus has already doubled in size by 5 weeks so actually we could show!

 

[prolifer]

I won't show for ages yet, my tummy already looks around 6+ months preggers from my last two and I never got around to making it smaller because I knew I wanted another one and it'd just waste all my effort to get a trim tummy only to have it stretched out again ^^

Well ... That's my lazy story and I'm sticking to it >.<

Hi Hann, congrats on the 3+ & thanks for saying that our uterus has doubled in size because i have a bulge! and it cant be just bloating.

Love all the gender announcement ideas, think ill start cooking mine up
Will be doing the digi tmw morning, so fx crossed for 3+.

Have blood test results tmw, mainly testing for vitamin B12 as i had a deficiency a while ago and unless it is back to normal they will be injecting it. B12 is critical for the baby's growth.

Hey profile, that makes perfect sense, plus it would add to the stretch marks if you kept losing and putting on weight
