FEBRUARY HEARTS Due in February 2015 , open group all welcome!

[maisie78]

I've had a pretty good day today. Was working until midnight last night so didn't get to bed until 1am then dd had me up at 0500 which was no fun. I thought I would feel awful but actually I have been fine all day. We had a few hours this morning just playing and dancing to music and then a walk in the park with Daddy and the dogs. Got back and I napped for a couple of hours whilst she did and woke up feels great again. I'm sure it won't last so have just enjoyed it today

 

[bridgetboo62]

im so excited!
feeling really optimistic today
we have decided that OH and i are going to tell my mom and dad after our first appointment and ultrasound on the 19th
we are going to make cards with copies of the ultrasound picture in them
and they are going to say

congratulations!
you are expecting a new grandchild around (estimated due date i get at the first appointment)

today we are going to babies R us
im hoping to get a pregnancy journal and pick out those cards if they have cards there
and we are also going to be picking up some presents for my friend who just had a baby a couple of weeks ago
he was four weeks premature
her water broke like 7 weeks before her due date
and she was hospitalized and put on steroids to promote lung development
until baby was born
he was on a respirator for only one day and spent only one week in the NICU

my sister is giving us her BOB revolution stroller because she is expecting her second at the end of july and they are going to get a double stroller

i cant wait to have a baby shower and make a registry
and pick everything out for baby

A little worried today...I usually get a zit or two on my chin before AF shows. Today I can feel at least one big zit starting to break through the skin on my chin. Hoping that it isn't a bad sign...

 

[bridgetboo62]

i wouldnt worry
im breaking out too although not as much
a lot of people break out when pregnant

 

[confuzion]

It's not a bad sign at all savvy. Hormones cause wacky things like zits to happen. Pregnancy hormones are responsible .

 

[laura109]

So sorry eme i hope you get good news from this

Today ive had my niece here had a walk to town and came home and have run around after her. My backs aching in the middle at bottom.

my cm is pale yellow tinted/white and had loads today

 

[bridgetboo62]

ugh my back aches soooo much whenever i bend down and then stand back up

and i had a ton of yellow/white cm yesterday
yellow cm is normal in pregnancy
but i also have become quite itchy down there

im worried because back in december we found out we had clamydia
and we took antibiotics to cure it but im worried it may have never gone away
the itching may also just be a yeast infection
should i go in and be seen right away?
could it cause harm to baby?
or should i just wait until my appointment on the 19th

Thanks. I wasn't worried about the small breakout of whiteheads around my nose last week but now that I feel this zit coming up on my chin it freaks me out! These pregnancy hormones might make me crazy!

 

[laura109]

Worth ringing up to ask if theres a chance it has not cleared.

but like u say its normal. Mine is very pale.

im guessing the std one is darker?

if your itchy u may have thrush its common in pregnancy.

my cm can be this colour even when not pregnant xx

 

[swanxxsong]

Oh Eme. I am so sorry. I will be praying for you, hoping that you see a positive change soon. Love to you.

Bridget if you're concerned about YI, I'd call right away; they wanted to get mine treated stat when I got one during my pregnancy.

Welcome DoubleLines!


My OB just called. She's thrilled about my rising hcg but also wants to be proactive in monitoring me, again since this is sort of a replay of my miscarriage but with earlier detection by far. (I didn't know I was pregnant until at least 6 weeks, maybe 8 with my angel.) So she said she wants me to continue the prometrium and to call tomorrow so I can set up an ultrasound. They want one in a week, week and a half. They of course have me at 4+5 due to LMP however based on O, I am closer to 4+1, maybe 4+2. So I am going to push her for the latter half, even closer to 6 weeks if I can. I'd rather not go in, have them panic about not seeing a heartbeat because I'm days behind their schedule. I feel enough worry about this pregnancy, I don't need it added just because they insist I don't know enough about my body to know when I conceived.

 

[swanxxsong]

SavvySaver I usually break out like whoa when I'm pregnant. Thank you hormones for making me look 15 again. LOL!

 

[confuzion]

It is annoying how they disregard certain things when we tell them. Like when we conceived . Good idea to push it farther if possible.

 

[bridgetboo62]

i just emailed my doctor hopefully she replies soon today
or tomorrow and they can get me in soon
if its clamydia i would hate for the infection to spread to the amniotic sac/fluid

i just read here

https://www.babycenter.com/0_yeast-infections-during-pregnancy_485.bc

that a yeast infection wont affect baby

also mine is pale yellow tinted as well
not dark
more white actually but can see very pale tint of yellow

 

[laura109]

Yeah that sounds like mine hun. Drink lots of water and dont use soap down there and trynot to get to hot. Usual stuff

I drank loads of water yesterday and my cramps went in my tummy xx

 

[Blondish_keg]

Doc loaded me up with drugs n I can breathe again (asthma) but still so paranoid about the effects on the baby and guess that doesn't help the cramps go away either.
Roll on scan week please
Is anyone elses sense of smell gone mad? The dog apsalotly stinks (just to me) and the whole street stinks of rotting rubbish bluuugh !

 

[swanxxsong]

LOL right Confuzion? No matter how many times I explain I was charting temps, opks and CP, they just don't listen. SMH! The lucky thing for me is that I am going to be on vacation the latter half of next week, so that'll give them no room to argue -- I will push for Monday the 23rd where I would be 6 weeks and hopefully they'll see a healthy little baby and then I can just have me-time until my first appointment in July!

Not that I don't appreciate their proactive demeanor or anything, but I know if they don't see what they want, they'll be sending me for weekly ultrasounds like my second pregnancy until they see something definitive and that was so emotionally draining. So if I can push it back to the 23, then hopefully they'll see a 6 week fetus and be pleased with that.

 

[bridgetboo62]

so when does baby start to use placenta instead of yolk sac?

ugh i cant wait for OH to get home from work so we can go shopping!

 

[MissEyre]

Is anyone else planning on staying as active as possible during their pregnancy?

 

[savvysaver]

swanxxsong, thanks! I just wish it wasn't on my chin...maybe I wouldn't worry as much! Good luck getting your appointment scheduled. My original OB told me it was a waste of time to temp and use opks...he claimed you just needed "well timed intercourse". Without temps/opks I wouldn't have very well timed intercourse since I never knew I tend to ovulate late (cd17-22). I know they have medical degrees and all but sometimes they don't seem too bright!

 

[swanxxsong]

10-12 weeks is when the placenta takes over, I believe.

I want to stay active. I had just been getting back to a regular workout routine when I got pregnant. But I've been so tired so I have been failing! LOL
