Due In May :)

[Jary]

Hann I hope it's just stretching pains!

 

[cgav1424]

Jary - I think it's just stretching pains. I feel the same things throughout the day, especially if I move suddenly or in a weird way.

Hann - sorry about your in-laws. It's so hard when they're underfoot and all you want is your space. I'm glad your MS has dulled down to a mild, constant form of nausea.

Hello to everyone else!

Afm, we're staying team yellow. DH really wants to find out, but as we already have one of each... I think the idea of being surprised sounds fun! I don't, however, want our baby dressed in nothing but yellow, green and white so our compromise is to have the ultrasound tech mail the baby's gender results to my best friend so she can buy some gender appropriate things and give them to me once the baby's born. She's the only person I can trust to keep news like that to herself... but ask me again when I'm 20 weeks and getting ready for our anatomy scan. So, my nausea is manageable, my boobs are sore only when I get up out of bed with no bra on, I'm still waking up 3 times a night to pee and my fatigue isn't as bad. Yay for making it to 7 weeks!

 

[Hann12]

I felt my DD at 14 weeks so might be able to feel this one even earlier apparently! Very exciting as that's not long!

 

[Jary]

Anyone else have acid reflux? When mine sets off I get a swollen sensation in my tonsils (they are large anyway) and it makes me want to gag at the mo my nausea isnt bad but this throat is p*ing me off! I'm eating an ice lollie now but I don't know what else to try. Suggestions???

My doc just gave me a prescription for peptac. I don't like him, he talks to me like I don't know anything. He kept going on about gaviscon even after I mentioned it doesn't work for me! Grr!

Sorry, went off on a rant! Still grouchy from my nightshifts, glad I'm off till wednesday now!

 

[aknqtpie]

I have it horribly too.. Do they sell Tums over there? That is what i usually take.

 

[Jary]

I think we used to, we have things like rennies which helped me a little bit in the past. I've had reflux for about 4 years now and took omeprazole to control it. Eventually I didn't need them but now my blueberry gave me it back! Hehe. I can't take my omeprazole and my doc suggested carbs...pasta, rice, porrige etc to soak up acid. I had pasta last night and I didn't feel too bad actually so I think that helped.

I'll get my peptac and try that. Trial and error!

How's things with you aknqtpie? Any other symptoms or sign of bump?

 

[aknqtpie]

Carbs usually give me heartburn. I have heard milk products (milk, yogurt, ice cream) help too.. an excuse to eat a pint of Hagan Daas?

 

[AerisandAlex]

I've been having the Acid Reflux after I take my prenantals... usually after that, no matter what I eat or drink I'm suffering for the next few hours.... I won't stop taking them because I know little one needs them, but they're killing me >.<

I talked about being team yellow for a long time before we found we were PG but..... no way I could go without knowing, I NEED to know lol I like to be prepared lol Especially since we'll be buying a new stroller/carseat set. We're going to be looking for a double stroller with carseat set too, which is hard to find around here but it makes things soooo much easier especially with my older son. He's still in speech therapy so although he's almost 3, it's still like he's a bit of baby, he's catching up so to speak He's getting there though ^_^

Anyway, DH is hoping for a boy, he even got excited when I took the Chinese Gender test and it came back a boy!

This will be DH's 6TH kid, he has 3 to his ex-wife, a boy, a girl and then another boy... so if this one's a boy, he'll have a total of 4 Boys and 2 Girls! lol And even worse for him, I'm not ready to be done with children yet! lol I want at least one more so he'll have 7 in the end at the very least! lol

 

[nearlythere38]

Chinese gender predictor predicted my last 2 were girls and they were both boys....now its saying this ones a boy so am hoping its a girl lol

 

[Blondey2012]

I'm having all sorts of aches and pains today. Stomach cramp, back ache and now they have subsided pelvis pain!

Hot water bottle and bed I think.

X

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Rennies are a god send! X

 

[Sass827]

Hann- I have the jaw line ones as well! Terrible!

I am dying to know the gender. I'm actually considering paying for one at 16 weeks so I don't have to wait til 20. How bad is that? I have no patience!

 

[Powell130]

Okay ladies, I need ya'll to tell me if I am being hormonal and irrational or if my feelings are legit lol

Okay so we've told close family and friends, but we haven't announced it to the FB world. My in-laws have, I wasn't happy about that but we don't have that many mutual friends so I let it slide. Well my mother in law keeps posting stuff pregnancy related and baby related on my page and tagged me in a pic earlier, so I sent this message to her:

Could you please not post anything on my FB about babies or pregnancy or anything? We haven't announced it on FB yet and people keep finding out.
Not trying to be mean or anything, we're just not announcing it to the world yet

To make a long story short, we ended up going back and forth a little and I'm trying to explain to her that I don't care if she posts stuff on HER page, just not on mine and don't tag me in anything. She tries to put me on a guilt trip and is like Okay I wont post anything at all, no babies, no pregnant, no anything. so I end the convo with

lol Okay Shirley

Convo over...or so I thought..about 2 hours later she gets back on and sends me this

i was not making a joke.

So I reply

I know you weren't but I am done with the conversation because you're not understanding what I am saying. Because if you were, you would have not gotten an attitude and pretty much turned it into an argument where it was unnecessary. Hope you have a good day



Well my father in law just came over to see my hubs for a little and he comes in here and tells me that I hurt her feelings. And I'm like I tried to explain to her that I don't care what she puts, just don't post anything to mine or tag me! He's all like well why don't you want to post anything, she's really excited about this? And I'm like we're excited too, I'm just not ready for the FB world to know yet and I wont be til atleast I'm 12 weeks, maybe even til we find out gender. And he is slightly getting an attitude with me (in the way that I've only seen my FIL in do lol it's crazy, he'll try to make you feel like your decision is wrong, when it's a personal decision. he's an ass sometimes lol it's where my hubs gets it from) like the whole shake your head and scoff/laugh in response, he did that to me a few times. and I don't understand why they don't get that it's OUR decision when we want everyone to know and wish they would just respect that and not act the way they are!


...rant over

 

[Sass827]

I would be super pissed. You're much more chill than I am Powell. I'd be defriending ASAP. I'm very into my privacy and would be livid over being put on blast when I told them it was private. I think your MIL and FIL should be happy you included them in your secret. As you said, its personal and YOUR decision. Don't let them steal your special moment by making you feel you're doing something wrong.

Okay I feel so much better now lol I don't understand those people sometimes! They always feel they are right and it drives me nuts.

Like when we first moved into this house my FIL kept telling me that we needed to get gutters or the yard will be washed away. I told him that the house was built in the 60s with no gutters, pretty sure the yard would be washing away already if it were going to. He tells me "okay, you know more about gutters than I do, I've put atleast 3 sets on houses." ugh!? not saying I know more than you, just stating the obvious sir lol

But back to or original rant haha...

I just wish they would respect our decision and understand that I wasn't telling her what to post on her own FB, because that's not what I was doing. I just asked her nicely not to put anything on MINE. ugh, whatever. he told me that I should call and apologize to her since I hurt her feelings. I'm not going to because I still feel the same way I do about what I said, so i'm not going to give an insincere apology.

 

[prolifer]

I think I would be pretty livid too, Powell!

Last night I had a horrible dream that I went to the toilet and there was like, blood everywhere :/ Hate those dreams!

 

[Powell130]

Okay so I'm talking to my brother in laws girlfriend (she lives with my in-laws) and she said that my MIL has been pretty much talking crap because of what I said to her. She has been saying that "they can just let me know when the baby shower is and I'll send a present" "they can just let me know when the baby is born" "i wont post anything about babies or pregnancy or anything" blah blah blah

She needs to get over it and take her medication lol (she has a hormonal imbalance and when she doesn't take her meds, she be trippin)

 

[AerisandAlex]

Wow, she sounds just like my MIL, you have a lot more restraint then I did. As soon as my MIL tossed that attitude towards me and my children on facebook, I found a way to well, 'stop her' is all I'll say lol. She still hates me but I don't have to hear her rants anymore on FB lol


On a lighter note, I've found lately I've been hungry ALL the time....
I used to survive on a light breakfast/brunch and dinner, but omg, I can't skip any meal or I feel like I haven't eaten for days!! Feels like my stomach is going to turn inside out if I don't have a full blown meal. I find myself eating a plate of spaghetti every day at lunch or it's just not enough food! lol

 

[maybe6]

Powel~ I would be pissed too!! Who needs all that drama with a new pregnancy and all the stuff we already worry about?! You shouldn't have to worry about her feelings too!! Ugggg!! I called some close friends and family and told them we are expecting and make it VERY clear that they weren't to post anything on FB until we are ready to announce it!! That is just Rude and disrespectful!! Ok I'm done but I feel your pain. We've had a few issues with people telling people but nothing on Fb Hopefully She will grow up and respect your wishes and realize you weren't trying to be rude but it's not her news to announce Good luck hun

 

[prolifer]

That's so true, it should be your news and not hers.
