Due In May :)

[SiBelle]

Aw, thanks SiBelle ^^ You will always find time for your little ones Kids love babies and they need to get involved, so they feel important and can do little things for you to help out and feel like they are needed

My kids are impatiently asking me every single day, is baby going to be born today? Can we bring baby home tomorrow? Is baby ready to come out yet? ^^ Bless 'em

Thank you. So encouraging to hear! Sounds like you have wonderful kids

 

[SiBelle]

Powell, so excited for you! That's such good news!!

Hey Ladies, how is everyone today? Happy Friday!! So, I am so relieved. I went for my first appt yesterday and I love my doctor. Since we had the mmc in June, she did an "under the table" ultrasound just so we could see the heartbeat since insurance will only pay for 1!!! We did not get to keep a picture but we were able to see little bean and a healthy heartbeat. She also called me in progesterone to begin taking while she waits for the results of my bloodwork too. Of course, I am still very cautious because we saw a heartbeat and healthy bean at 7w4d last time and the baby stopped growing at a little over 9 weeks.

Aw, that's so lovely that your doctor gave you that extra reassurance. So many doctors, I find, just brush you off at such an early stage. It's so nice to get one that cares and is trying to find solutions.

I was going to say more but really, my body is telling me it's nap time. My insomnia is catching up with me.

Jary - you have to be 11+4 to have the downs testing - you should be though so its fine, I wouldn't be if I went by my lmp, they would get me to do the later test rather than book me in again probably so it's better at mine to go by my ov date. Your dates are fine though plus your hospitals probably better too!!

Scan in the morning eeeek!!

 

[prolifer]

lol SiBelle - my first was born on July 13th too, but he was born in 1999 ^^

 

[Hann12]

Sibelle - wow we really are in similar situations with our current babies and this one!! Do you ever worry about your current one kicking you in the stomach? My little girl can be quite rough with me!

 

[prolifer]

I sleep beside my 5.y.o. and she always kicks me out of bed, I just sleep with my knee in front of my tummy and push her feet away when they get too close

 

[Megan1986]

Anyone from California have experience with applying for medi-cal?

 

[Jary]

Thanks Hann.

And good luck with the scan! Proper jealous hehe. Hope all goes well!

 

[Hann12]

Just had my scan, all is perfect, the heart was beating away, very fast! She didn't say how fast but she said it was very fast and nothing to be concerned by. I asked about the brown spotting and she said it must be implantation related. All is looking good though, big relief!!

 

[Jary]

Yay!! Go baby Hann!

We told OH's parents yesterday and I think we shocked his mum lol. But soon after she was over come with excitment!

And also, I think my preggo symptoms are starting off now. Feel a bit icky this morning hope it doesn't linger as it looks like a nice day. Friends are gathering for a drink tonight to celebrate our engagement and I hope they don't find it suspicious that I'm the designated driver again lol

Question for you all .. is it just me, or are any of you feeling cold all the time.. I know further on in my pregnancy I will be wanting to walk around in the nude to cool off, but I have been cold for the last month! (Could be the weather too.. )

Lol I wake up in the middle of the night, every night and I feel like I'm on fire... I'm always so freaking hot...and if I'm not hot I super cold.. And ms has started and is only getting worse.. But hey anything to get my baby

 

[Hann12]

Here is our little peanut!

 

[Jary]

Aww! That's fab Hann did you get to see the heartbeat??

 

[Hann12]

We did - it was really obvious, like a really fast flicker on the screen. It's amazing! Can't wait for you to get yours too! So glad your mum was excited for you. It's hard covering up the drinking, I remember with my DD we had new years eve and I drank non alcoholic beer so that people didn't guess! This time I'll drink tonic and says its G&T when I'm out, think we have 2 occasions over the next 2 weeks that I'll be out for, apart from that I won't have to worry as I never get out really, always in with my DD.

 

[Jary]

I dunno if I'll make it out tonight if I keep feeling icky the joys of being pregnant! I'm looking forward to 2nd trimester already haha! OH actually appologised for getting me pregnant therefore giving me morning sickness! Bless him. At the mo I'm craving a nice roast dinner even tho im feeling sick but the thought of chocolate; blerghhh! Doesn't help I bought 75 pieces of lindor in NY xD

My ginger biscuits arnt working that well. Any tips for helping nausea ladies?

Yeah I can't wait for my scan...another 6ish weeks to go really happy that you saw your little beans' hb tho, must have been awesome!

 

[aknqtpie]

Seabands seemed to help, and keeping food in my stomach.. bland food at least. I make a point to eat in the morning right when I wake up, that way I can eat before hunger/nausea sets in. Sipping on water helped too.

I've heard good things about the seabands also, but haven't tried them myself. I notice, if I don't let my stomach get empty i'm okay. I was feeling REALLY pukey this morning but didn't. I pretty much felt hung over lol I went back to bed after hubs went to work and when I woke back up and brushed my teeth, I puked a little lol yay (not really yay, i'm just enjoying every symptom because this one seems to be sticking

 

[eggo preggo]

Great Hann so pleased for you
I can't wait for my scan now on Wednesday.

Jary try sucking on an ice cube for nausea, really does help me.
Ginger biscuits a bit of a gimmicki find but fresh ginger with lemon is good.

Powell yes hungover is def the word!
