Due Sept 2017

[MrsKChicago]

Aww, tell her if you really want to!

 

[ladybrown33]

Aww, tell her if you really want to!

I really want to wait until I confirm everything is okay in there because I think she will tell her sisters aka the aunt's. So it's only a couple more days Tuesday she will know for sure

 

[wannanewbaby]

Aww im also waiting for my scan to tell my family its getting harder like you said due to feeling so ill always think im gonna slip up when were on the phone

 

[MrsKChicago]

Oh yeah, once the aunts know it's over.

I almost told mine the other day just to shut her up. She knows we want two and lately has been trying to convince me we should only have one. She's constantly going on about how expensive kids are, how if they're the same sex they'll hate each other forever, it's so hard to have two kids, blah blah blah. I have no interest in her opinion on the matter because we are different people with different life goals and different interests, and as her second child, I'm also sick of hearing how much she wishes she'd only had one kid. She's so overbearing sometimes. She was giving me the one kid speech again the other day and I was so close to just cutting her off and saying "actually, I'm pregnant now, but if you feel that strongly about second kids, I'll make sure not to bring this one over to visit you."

 

[ladybrown33]

Wannanewbaby-I can imagine how hard it could be to explain away sickness or even worse trying to hide, we can make just a little longer to go!

Mrs. K-I understand the feeling of overbearing parents who would like you to live your life the way that they see fit. I'm the second child myself and always hear things about why the second is not so great and the first is everything they must not know how annoying that truly is.

 

[MrsKChicago]

Yes, I don't even understand why someone would say that to their second child! I could understand just generally saying that two kids are harder than one, but don't go on and on like you regret birthing the person you're talking to. I responded once with "I'm glad to hear you regret having me" and she still does it.

 

[wannanewbaby]

I was first born my mom had another 7 years later another girl and even though we are both girls we def dont hate eachother lol its funny though cause she constantly does same thing as your mother chicago like telling me we dont need another and how expensive blah blah and i want to laugh and say well why did you have 2 then??? I know once i tell her and she gets pass the shock she will be happy she has no ide i removed my mirena or that we even tried so she will def be suprised

 

[MrsKChicago]

Yeah, I'm thinking she'll be happy about the actual baby and hopefully shut up about it. She tries to use my nephew as an excuse not to have more, too, because they're close in age. I'm glad he has a little cousin he can be friends with, but a cousin he sees a couple times a month is nothing like a sibling you live with. She and her sister hate each other, so I think her views are really tainted because of it.

 

[Estarla]

Sorry to hear that MrsKChicago. Sounds like a bit of a punish!

Btw, I have a little brother and am not getting along very well and my husband has three brothers and they all get along well and my cousins are only girls and are inseparable and my other cousin is an only child and forever sad he never got to have a sibling. I moved all the way across the globe and my mum is happy to have at least one child still near her. The parents of my friend who is an only child and also moved across the world are devastated... just some examples from my life.

I'm feeling okay today. Cramps are going on for 5-6 days now and aren't getting much better although they're not too bad. I need to make sure to not go on an empty stomach too long otherwise I feel nauseaus, but weirdly I don't have a huge appetite and can't seem to eat more than small amounts.

 

[kittykat7210]

Hello, sorry to gatecrash, but could I join you ladies? I'm actually due in late august but all of my family are 2 weeks late so I'm expecting to give birth in early September... If not its cool!

 

[lilmisscaviar]

I need to make sure to not go on an empty stomach too long otherwise I feel nauseaus, but weirdly I don't have a huge appetite and can't seem to eat more than small amounts.

This is me! I'm dealing with the exact same thing. I can't go too long without eating, then I have to force myself to eat. After a few bites I feel full already.

 

[TFBG]

I feel like I'm starving all day so I'm constantly eating. Worries me since it's so early because I fear it might get worse. Mild cramps, which I see from others experiencing them that it must be normal. That was worrying me a bit. I've been a tad nauseous the past few days. And OMG, my boobs are so sore and seem so heavy!! Especially when I get up in the morning. It's almost more comfortable to sleep in my bra.

 

[wannanewbaby]

Tfbg yes my boobs are way more sore in morning than any other time of day!!

 

[wannanewbaby]

Kittykat i added you to list of course you can join

Eating the right amount of the right food at the right time is becoming more and more of an art form

 

[wannanewbaby]

Yes estarla i def dont have morning sickness its all day sickness. Like you said eating has become like a science project of trial and error

 

[lilmisscaviar]

I don't have the full blown 24/7 nausea yet but I know it is coming. Usually about 5 1/2 to 6 weeks is when it kicks in for me. Right now I only have nausea when I don't eat often enough. I suffered with HG in 2 of my last 3 pregnancies so I'm not expecting it to be easy this time around either

Are any of you doing anything for the nausea? In my last pregnancy I had to take Diclegis as it was the only reason I was able to function.

 

[gingmg]

Anyone else have very pronounced blue veins all over their boobs and chest? It's like a road map. That's how I knew I was pregnant this cycle, happened with my son too.

This is my first pregnancy so no idea what's going to happen . I hope it's not too bad for you this time.

 

[MrsKChicago]

I hope it doesn't get as bad as HG, lilmiss. One of my friends had it through both her pregnancies and it was awful for her.

Ging, the blue veins were an early symptom with my son. I didn't get them this time, probably because I'm still breastfeeding so my breasts don't have that much work to do this time around.
