Due In May :)

[Powell130]

Aerisandalex - I'm so sorry you're going through this, hon. I know exactly how you're feeling. You want to hold on to hope, but deep down know what's going to happen. Honestly, I do think it's a positive sign that you have all your symptoms and there's no bleeding. With all my m/c, I lost ALL my symptoms overnight (literally, overnight. I went to bed one morning feeling bloated and nauseous with some boobs after getting up to pee 3x a night to waking up feeling totally normal and didn't get up once during the night). I waited a couple of days to see if my symptoms came back, but they didn't. Oh and I was spotting. I'll be thinking of you! *hugs*

Starry - 2 weeks! No news must be good news! Have fun on your holiday!

Hann - good luck on your scan tomorrow!

Hi to everyone else!

Afm, Since I'm still sticking with the due date from my LMP, I'm an olive today too! I like how they're specific and say "green olive." Oh and this being my lucky #7 pregnancy coupled with being on prednisone... my bump is what I would normally have at around 4 months. I'm not even exaggerating! Hopefully my weight gain slows down when I can start working out again in second tri. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Oh wow, going by LMP, I'm 11w2d!!

"No mom, I didn't take the stuffing out of your pillow. Will you rub my belly?"

Haha that's too funny. . My dog is driving me bonkers.
This morning he decided to escape after a field full of chickens, omg I was like a mad woman shouting for him to get back. Really hope I did not shock my body too much.

lol that's hilarious! I have yelled at our dogs a few times in the last few weeks. I remember one time specifically that I yelled pretty loud a few times which did kinda freak me out later (of course lol worry about everything) but that was before I went to the ER and everything is fine, so I think you're good. I probably yell way more than you do due to having 8 (yes, 8) dogs lol 4 grown and 4 puppies still needing homes after the litter, they're 5 months old

Holy crap that's alot of dogs, big or small - wowsers.

Yes, yes it is lol 2 of the grown ones are rescues. And one is dad to the litter, didn't get him fixed before he had a chance to get him some

I wouldn't consider any of them small, the puppies are almost 40 lbs!

Definitely not haha they have their own room that has a doggy door that leads out to our fenced in yard so they definitely get their running in. We take them to the creek on Sundays, 4 at a time lol

Hey all, catching up

 

[AerisandAlex]

Thanks everyone, I've definitely been holding on to there being some hope. I wanted to call my doc to get my HCG levels from yesterday's blood test so I'd know what my starting point was but I remembered after I started to dial them that they were closed on Fridays

I'll be going to get my blood drawn in the morning for the second time so they can compare them to see if they doubled...

On the other side I'm trying to think of what I should do if it comes back bad... I really don't like the idea of a D&E/D&C with feeling like this so I may let it come naturally depending on everything... if worse comes to worse and I don't m/c on my own after a few weeks, I'll probably pitch a fit with my doc for another ultrasound so I don't feel like I'm doing the wrong thing.

In any case, I'm glad I'm not the only one with a puppy! lol We've barely had her 6 months and she's not even a year old yet, she was DH's birthday present as he's been begging me for a lab puppy for years. She chews and chews and tears things apart and then yea, gives you those big eyes like all doggies do that says "Pet me!" lol

I bought my daughter this HUGE 4 story doll house for barbies for christmas last year, I mean the thing is bigger then her and it came with all the furniture pieces.. well the puppy has gotten most of the bottom floor pieces, such as the wooden table and chairs and have chewed off chunks of the legs of the furniture -_- I went out and got her all sorts of chew toys and ropes and stuffed animals toys but she did the same to them as your doggie did to your pillow, Powell! lol

 

[prolifer]

Best of luck to you, I really am hoping for you!

Found my food aversion, if someone even mentions it or if I even think about it - I have to heave. Even writing it makes me feel so queasy! Mashed potatoes! I love them so much and yet now I am like, YUCK! Take it AWAY!! *sigh*

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Mine is barbequed chicken ! Actually looooved the ready to eat packets out of tesco and could sit and eat the full packet, bought some the other week and was ill and the thought of them is turning my stomach ! Xx

 

[Hann12]

I had my scan this morning! Baby Was wriggling loads, could see little arms and legs moving and the head bobbing! Measuring 3 days ahead at 9+4 hence could see a fair bit! Annoyingly she wouldn't tell me what the heart rate was or let me hear it, just sAid it was in the normal range. I also quizzed her about where the placenta was to see of the Ramzi method is right and she wouldn't even tell me that!
But important thing is that everything is good! Will post a photo in a bit, think its a boy though!

 

[prolifer]

How exciting!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

glad to hear it all went well hann! xx

 

[Hann12]

Here my gorgeous baby is at 9+1 or 9+4!

 

[Powell130]

I'm so jealous every time I hear someone sees movement because I didn't see any at my last US.

So happy for you hann! It's an amazing sight to see your little one. I have seen the heart beat but yet to hear it. I suppose I'll hear it with a doppler when I go next month.

My birthday is tomorrow the big 24 lol

Happy early Birthday Powell!

 

[Hann12]

Happy Birthday Powell!

I wouldn't worry about movement, to be fair the sonographer seemed surprised how much it was moving. I think it must have been enjoying the bacon sandwich I had just had!! Next time before your scan have some chocolate or a fizzy drink - works every time!

 

[eggo preggo]

Wow Hann that is truly amazing so happy for you.
Is that true about having a fizzy drink or chocolate? To create movement, that's so funny. .

 

[eggo preggo]

Happy happy birthday Powell, 24 so young! I'm 33. . Ahhhh
A little old for a first time mummy, although I still do feel 21. . Haha.

Have a great day x
