Congratulations!!

 

[Breezy81]

Thank you for sharing your photos ladies they are just gorgeous. I got a call from my Dr's office today to let me know they are granting me an early scan can't wait. I'm going in Thursday to be checked for low blood pressure so I will book it in for the next week or two. I want to make sure I'll see the heartbeat.
Breezy do you have dry july where you live? Here in Oz we have a charity event called dry july where those who participate don't drink for the month I've told all my friends I'm doing it, it's been great for getting out of drinking without suspicion.

We sure don't maybe I should start a new trend That would have been perfect.
I decided to go. I am going to drink sprite with a lime in it, hopefully that will pass as a drink I'm the score keeper for a golf game they are playing so that's a perfect reason too. Hope it goes well, I'm not a good liar at all.

Breezy - what is it about a hot pot of beef and veggies?? I was able to actually eat a small bowlful and it was super tasty. I didn't feel super great after but hey, it stayed down Unless you're sure that your buddies won't coerce you into drinking the whole time until you snap and tell them what's going on, then I'd pass. It's hard! I find all my friends sort of watch in surprise as I pass on wine with dinner and everyone has that suspicious look on their face. Some even jokingly ask if I'm pregnant. So if you're not ready to share the news, I'd probably pass just to avoid being badgered by a bunch of intoxicated folk. But it's up to you in the end!!! And you should totally go if you feel up to for it

preg_pilot - sorry for not responding to your post yesterday but the nausea was debilitating. Your scans are so awesome! Much more detailed at this stage, and I can't believe (s)he waved at you! How exciting is that??? The only movement I got was the heart beating - which of course was totally enough to send me over the moon! So I can't even imagine what a wave must have done for you

ttc1st - hmmm wonder if I can get away with 'feeling Australian' and participating in Dry July!!!!! I somehow doubt it I'm so excited you get an early scan tho!!! Hope it's soon and your doc appt Thursday goes well

WELCOME JOEY!!!!
Soooo excited for you! H&H 9 months to you buddy!

So proud of myself I finally got off my lazy keister and walked 2 miles this morning. I feel so much better and refreshed. I will walk another 2this afternoon on my break at work. I normally do a pretty tough work out so I have to find other things to do right now.

Chezek I didn't end up eating any.....I'm going to have to tonight to get this craving away. I'm glad to hear it was good. I decide to give the party a go, my good friends may catch on just because they know we were seeing a feritlity specialist but the others won't think twice. I've been passing up drinking a lot lately since ttc. I got this or I hope so anyways

I thought the tww was bad, boy was i wrong this 4 week until I go to the doctor is miserable How am i suppose to keep my mind off this?

 

[MrsChezek]

I know! The waiting sucks I'm so glad I got a crazy doc that wants to see me every week for an u/s or I'd go bonkers...cause even each week sucks. So I totally feel for you!!!! But now that I heard the heart beat I am more calm. I just wish this nausea would GO AWAY!!! Then I can be a Zen Mommy to Be

I wish I had a crazy doctor

Is the nausea getting any better? I'm totally not looking forward to that at all.

Well I hope it skips you all together!!! I read that if you're someone who gets motion sickness in cars/boats/planes, you get it worse. Aaannnd that is me so here are I am Though today is better than yesterday - not great but not as horrible. Trying to take naps so I am not tired when we go out to dinner...being tired makes it much worse for sure.

Hi Ladies

I feel like I have been missing forever, but I guess it was just the weekend. I had my first hormonal melt down at brunch. They didnt have any fruit for my belgium waffle and I started crying! My hubs went across the street to the grocery to buy me some berries. And, then randomly about ten minutes later I just started crying again b/c I felt so tired and emotionally drained. Bad headache all weekend too. But nausea was so much better. Weird. Anyway, sorry to start with me . . .

rmsh and Joey!!!! Oh my goodness, YAY!!!! So excited for you two! Wishing you both a very H&H 9 months. Congratulations!!!

Chezek and Preg Pilot We are all waiting for these beautiful photos, hope all goes well today.

MD I got a ticker just for you 8/2 and 8/3 will be super exciting for us. I'm already counting down the days. I put you on my calendar so I wouldn't forget

Rmsh Congrats again and welcome! So glad you got to come over.

Chezek I sure hope you get to feeling better soon

AFM I'm feeling pretty good. I'm hungry all of the time, exhausted and my
(.)(.) are killing me but it's all worth it.

Hope you all have an amazing day, we are all so lucky to be here.

Haha - thank you! I love the new tickers! Yay - can't wait for the first week of August! You are so sweet, lady. I got you down too now!

Preg_P and MrsC - awe!! LOVE the scan pics! I bet you two were on . I can't wait for my next one. So funny about DH's comment, MrsC.

Awe, MrsC, I hope your nausea goes away soon. Sounds like you are having the worst of it.

Mmm . . . I could go for some beef stew right about now. Especially, the carrots and potatoes. But our kitchen is too small to cook stew (in NYC) and it's defy not that time of year for restaurants to be carrying it. Guess I'm out of luck there. So sweet of your hubs to cook some up for you, MrsC.

ttc1st - Ooh, me too. I wish I had that excuse. I ordered a non-alc beer before my friend met me for dinner, but then got caught b/c the receipt said non-alc and she called me out! Ha. I'm also not a good liar. So, I just said, yep, yes I am preggo. It is early, though, so keep it on the DL!

Breezy - good for you for wanting to go to the pub crawl. I think you should. I got away with ordering a fake mix-drink the last time we went out. And, then just had hubs secretly order more fakies as the night went on. It worked that night b/c we went to a mexican place and I love margaritas (usually). But typically I order beer or wine. So, that won't always work for me. I think peops will start to catch on. Oh well. We have started to tell close friends and we are getting so close to 12 weeks - well sort of . . . .

I hope everyone is feeling ok. Feel much better today than I did this wknd. That constant headache was a killer.

Wow MrsChezek you do have a crazy dr - every week!! But I think that is really good! I am struggling to get my first appt with my GP!!!! But then I guess I can't complain as here in the UK it is free health care!!!! I have been looking into getting some private scans though - there are quite a few packages you can pay for and get scans at different stages including a 4D scan!!

It is still not feeling real yet - only real symptoms are sore boobs and this cold won't go (very unlike me!). Even took another hpt this morning and yes still BFP!

Are you ladies waiting to tell everyone? I have told one of my close friends and will prob tell my other two bedt friends but going to wait to tell parents! DH parents are here this weekend so going to tell them I have a chest infection and on antibiotics!! I will have to tell work as I work in hospital theatres where they are using x-ray so may wonder what I am doing if I stand at the other side of the room

I really love this thread as I feel I have so many people to talk to!! Thanks lovely ladies

 

[rmsh1]

I struggled to get my appointment with a GP too Joey. I have had to resort to going to the clinic on Saturday, which is walk in and only open for 2 hours so going to fun sitting there waiting for hours. I couldn't take time off work this week to get to doc during the day, so Saturday it is!

Managed to get a cancellation this aft so on my way now! Don't really know what to expect - feel a bit like a fraud going to the drs as I don't feel any different!!!!

 

[Breezy81]

GL Joey We did tell my sister, a couple of friends and my parents. I just couldn't wait!

Welcome Sportysgirl

Chezek I got some beef stew last night, it was delicious and hit the spot.

As I've heard symptoms come and go, I guess today is one of the days they left me. I got a great nights sleep and woke up without sore bbs, cramps or anything really. I'm afraid it may be the calm before the storm.

 

[MD1223]

Hopefully not, Breezy. I'll keep my fingers crossed the bad stuff stays away.

Joey - We told both sets of parents and siblings right at about 4 wks 3 days. And, I've slowly been telling close friends as well.

Glad you got an appt!

Feeling pretty good again today. I told my DH last night I feel like I have a clear head for the first time in weeks! That didn't last too long, but it was a nice break from the constant hangover feeling.

How's everyone else doing?

 

[MrsChezek]

SO I pooped on our anniversary parade yesterday and chickened out of going out to dinner I felt super sad but it was stressing me out and the anxiety was definitely making my nausea worse! I found that sucking on lemon hard candy (lemon drops) helps the nausea quite a bit but I always seem to cut my tongue or roof of my mouth on those so I had to stop after a couple due to too many cuts But it does help!

This morning, I woke up at 4:30am and COULD NOT SLEEP. I was hungry which soon meant very nauseated so I had to get up to eat. Then I had to wait to digest a bit and in the mean time my back muscles started cramping and killing me. It was awful! So when I woke up, I ordered a bottle of "Mommy's Bliss: morning sickness magic" - anyone heard of it or tried it? It's basically ginger and vit B6 in capsules you take 4 times daily. Some people seem to swear by it so I figured I'd give it a go. I'm tired of feeling so dysfunctional!!! I'll let you know how it goes…arrives tomorrow

MD - I totally feel your pain on the awful symptoms! I'm glad it has eased up on you a bit. I started crying this morning when I couldn't sleep mumbling "I don't know if I can do this anymore" and my poor DH felt awful for me. This is HARD.

sportys - Hi there! I've seen you on the March Mummas thread Welcome, this is an awesome group

Joey - do a bit of research on the 3D and 4D scans - my friend said that they are much stronger than the regular scans and can harm the baby. I knew I didn't want them so I haven't read anything about it but might be worth a look before you buy in! My doc is super cautious and very compassionate to miscarriages cause his wife had 2 so he likes to keep an eye on things from when you see him until 9weeks with weekly scans. I don't mind! My copay is $30 which isn't bad so I'm going along with it I've only told my best friend who is 2.5 weeks ahead of me in her pregnancy (super cool!) and my two other close friends. We're waiting until week 9 to tell our parents and everyone else after week 12. But yeah, all my service providers know (massage therapist, hair stylist, physical therapist, etc) - kinda sad that all these strangers know before family!!! But it's for the safety of the embryo

Ooooh just read you're heading to the doc today! GL and let us know how it goes!

rmsh - good luck at the clinic! I hope they fit you in and you get some confirmation

Breezy - I'm so jealous of your "off day"!!!! I wish this nausea would jump ship, even for one day. Mine hit on 5+6 butI hope it doesn't knock on your door!!!! I had more of that beef stew at 5am this morning…I hate waking up to eat. Have to figure out what to eat in order to sleep through the night…

 

[Joey1979]

Went to the dr but to be honest it felt like a complete waste of time!! I told him I have been taking higher doses of folic acid as my nephew (DH side) was born with an imperforate anus and as this is a neural tube deficiency I wasn't taking any chances with the folic acid!! He looked at me like I had gone mad, then had to check in his book and then said I was right and prescribed me 5mg folic acid a day! Soooo filled me with confidence - not!

But I have now made my booking in appointment so hopefully that will be more useful!!
