Due In May :)

[prolifer]

I saw myself in a full length mirror yesterday and yup - you can definitely tell ^^

 

[Hann12]

So exciting that we are all starting to show!

I'm going to baby wear, I didn't so much with DD but I will with this one as I think it will be more convenient with two to look after!

AandA I hope you get a positive second opinion, I think you are def doing the right thing!

Starry - when is the date of your next scan? I am really hopeful for you! All the symptoms are very positive!

 

[Jary]

Wish I was showing! Everyone at work seems to think so but to me I've still got the same round bit of fat I've always had! It is harder to suck my tummy in tho...find it quite uncomfortable.

And I'm hoping I'm just getting more stretching pains...some sharp pains this morning so I've got my worry hat on lol

Can't believe some of us are now in double figure weeks now! Times flying (except not for my scan date which still seems like forever away!)

 

[Stevensmummyx]

I'm not showing as such, my jeans are tighter and I'm gonna have to invest in new ones soon, however my brother said to me last week 'you're getting fat, fat chops' and he doesn't know haha ! And about hormones I cried last night watching stand up to cancer (which was really sad anyway) and when watching 'what to expect when expecting' I cried when they had their babies lol! X

 

[prolifer]

Goodnight all, I am STILL coughing and it seems like it will never stop! I can't stop long enough to even eat It's driving me nuts, I even shouted "GO AWAY!!!" at my cough, after a coughing fit that soaked my pad and wet my knickers AND trousers with pee I just couldn't stop coughing to get to the toilet :/

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Aww pro that sounds terrible ! Goodnight hun and I hope you manage to sleep well xx

Morning ladies!! Woke this morning to hubs yelling at one of our dogs because he was being mean to one of his puppies over a treat lol poor little guy come running inside to me shaking like a little leaf. He's a mama's boy

Another of my friends announced her pregnancy on FB the other day but I didn't notice it until yesterday. She did so with her positive pregnancy tests. I wish I didn't have the worries like that! I'd be so scared to announce THAT EARLY! But I guess you don't become aware of miscarriages and the struggle TTC unless you've lived it. Her boyfriend has been back from deployment MAYBE a month!! Lucky! I really am happy for her tho.

So right now I have like 5 friends who have announced pregnancies in the last few weeks. 3 have had babies this month. And here I sit with this news and want to announce so bad, but am so scared to! At least I have you ladies to talk to!!

 

[AerisandAlex]

I know what you mean Powell! I have a ton of girlfriends who have announced their pregnancies and I did myself too but now I don't know what to tell people! I message a few privately to talk about everything but the rest I don't really know what to say at this point! I usually just come here to talk too

DH and I found my bump yesterday too.. which I thought was strange, we assumed that everything would stop growing as the doctor didn't think the gestational sac was getting any bigger but low and behold, things look to still be progressing... That gave me a little hope last night.

DH has 3 children from his previous marriage and we have two of them over this weekend. Although I love having the kids, DH has gone to work in the fields and I'm stuck with all 4 kids and with everything going on, I'm not sure if it was a good idea... They're not much older then each other, basically it goes down the line 8, 7 and then mine, 5 (almost 6) and 2 (almost 3) and the older two tend to be jealous of my two and fight often... so it's going to be a long day lol

 

[Starry Night]

DH and I are probably starting to make it public that we're pregnant this weekend. I know our pregnancy's viability hasn't really been confirmed but we believe in prayer and we would like to get those we know to pray for us. Also, on my latest scan they found a SCH (what I had with DS) so I'll probably be pulling back a bit so we need to explain why.

Even with our previous loss DH and I are still kind of blabber mouths when it comes to our news. We always tell immediate family as soon as we find out. We know we want that support if something goes wrong.

I have no next scan plan but I do plan on begging for one. I just can't wait for my 20 week scan to make sure things are OK....especially if the doctor has a hard time finding a heart beat with a doppler.

Hey all I did manage to grab some sleep, my 3 year old has come down with a temp. so I'm watching him and he wakes up every morning with his eyes gunked shut. I have to give him eye drops 4 times a day, but he's worse than giving your pet a worm tablet! It takes 3 of us to get him still and then he squeezes his eyes shut so tight. Even when we get the drops in, he cries and rubs his eyes so they're probably not staying in.

Fun times ^^

As for me, my perpetual cough is still here. My ear is only blocked up with gunk now so just have to wait for it to drain. I wish you all the best of luck with announcing, I am thinking of you ladies all the time and checking in to see any good news I can find

I will see my bubba tomorrow, hope I can bring back something good to show you all!

My little girl has been disturbing me lately, coming up to me and putting her hand over my tummy and she asks, "has the baby died yet mummy?" I just don't know where she gets this from! She's only 5 lol

Wow, sounds like you've been having a long day too!! I hope you and your little one feels better soon! I remember sitting down with my son and trying to get him to take his medicine through the nebulizar, fun fun fun, he loves his inhaler though and takes it everyday willingly and his medicine, it's like candy to him but that nebulizer, he just hated it lol... and then after his surgery to have his adenoids removed and tubes put in we had to put in ear drops, again, same thing, had to have me and DH hold him down to get them in >.< lol

Although they'll be fun memories to share, I'm sure your little one will laugh when you talk about how upset he'd get over something so small

 

[prolifer]

He's gotten a bit better at it today, the 3rd lot of drops we did he let me do them by closing his eyes and I put a drop in the corner of his eyes, he'd open them and the drops sunk in by themselves.

Hopefully he will keep that up He seems to be feeling better today too, which is great.

I just wish I could get rid of this tickle in my throat! It's making me cough so much, I sometimes can't cough because my body is just so tired of it!

Time for baths now, I'll be waiting around for some more good news xx

 

[Powell130]

I was going to suggest doing it that way, Pro. Heard it's the best way to get difficult kids to take eye drops. I think I saw it on The Doctors or something lol

My friend is kinda..what's the word..idk the word but she is convinced that she's feeling baby movement...She found out she's pregnant on the 15th of this month and is only about a month along. I'm trying to explain to her that it's her uterus growing. Told her that I don't even feel movement yet! She's dead set on believing it's movement. I was like girl, your baby doesn't even have a heartbeat yet lol I'll let her continue to be silly if she wants lol

 

[Starry Night]

I'm having a hard time shaking my cold too. Though mine comes more in the form of choking on phlegm rather than the coughs. It is getting better very slowly. When you can't take anything time is the best medicine. :/

I hope your little guy gets better soon! And I would think children's medicine is designed knowing that kids will reject half of it. At least, it would make sense if they did that. lol

 

[eggo preggo]

How are you all?
Prolifer hope your cough gets better, it can be so frustrating especially at night lying down. Have you tried an extra pillow? That seems to work for me.

Speaking of showing I had a wedding last night and I'm sure my girlfriends know something is up its the third event in a month were I have not had any alcohol. My tummy is round, I felt like a sausage!

 

[Powell130]

11 weeks today

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Jeezo just noticed it looks like I'm turning into a werewolf? Anyone else growin a hairy belly, please don't tell me I'm the only one lol!

Excuse me while I go get a belly wax! X

 

[eggo preggo]

Powell, that's a really cute bump! I have big bump days and smaller ones which means bloat.

Stevensmummy lol, no belly hair yet but I read its very common, a hair growth is controlled by hormones just don't shave it only tweeze or it will grow back with avengence!

I've always had blond hairs on my belly but they have decided to turn pretty much black now! Ugh I noticed it the other day when I was rubbing coconut oil on after a shower.

Thanx!! I've noticed that mine changes thruout the day with what and how much I eat. But the morning size has been pretty consistant. I can feel my uterus and it's just barely over my tattoo so I know it's not baby but I'm guessing it's all of my other organs and stuff moving north to make room
