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

[Megamegan]

You girls just made me LOL. I have no one in real life to share this experience with who is going through it at the same time....it's so nice to go through each step with you ladies

My biggest symptom at the moment is constant hunger. I'm trying to listen to my body because I hear some women lose appetite soon after the constant hunger stage. I've been really into salty foods.

I thought it was time to take another FRER and I'm glad I did. Here's my progression from 10 dpo to 12 dpo (today). Yay!

Wow Megamegan, great progression!

 

[Megamegan]

Sooo... cramping after BD in early pregnancy, normal right? I got up and walked around after and was like, nope, gotta lay back down. It's fine now that I'm laying down. Do you guys get this too?

 

[bridgetboo62]

im sooooo tired today
i took a nap yesterday just fine then had insomnia and took me another to fall asleep at night even though i was dead tired
so i ended up getting a ton of sleep yesterday
but today i can barely keep my eyes open and im not sitting either i have been up all day running errands with my sister, home depot ect.

this has been happening to me a lot lately
tired during the day, can barely stay awake, napping fine but then insomnia at night whether i nap or not. weird

Savvy- I usually start taking weekly bump pictures in second tri. I figure first tri is usually just bloat, lol. Plus I'm plus sized and won't see anything but my flab!

Swan- yeah, I found a "cheaper" doula and it still cost me $800! Plus $90 for her to encapsulate my placenta. It's great if you can find free ones in training. It was nice to have her, but honestly didn't utilize her as much as I thought. And it kinda made me mad having that third person constantly there and "bugging" me (I am easily irritated in labor, lol). I still have some of my placenta pills from my son in my freezer so I'm set for after this baby! My doula did let us borrow some great DVDs that taught the dad/partner ways to help you during labor like a doula would

Bridget- I've had those types of dreams with all of mine. Pregnancy dreams are crazy! And likely we dream of our fears. Last week I had a dream my sons Gastro doctor was giving me a csection with no epidural, in the dark

Megamegan- yep, totally normal we havent BD'd since conception though and those are great lines for 12dpo!

Baby brain is setting in for me too. Forgetting a lot of stuff, making mistakes and stumbling over my words. I took my last frer and a digi this afternoon. Got 2-3 weeks. Might use my second one on Sunday with fmu.

 

[MilosMommy7]

The FRER about 5 mins after the first picture (10 mins after peeing on it).

 

[bridgetboo62]

yeah its a good sign when your test line is darker than the control line
congratz! looks lovely

 

[bridgetboo62]

im so excited!
less than a week until my first appointment and ultrasound

 

[misspriss]

I've got the baby brain too, way worse than my last pregnancy. I'm mixing up words, saying things in the wrong order. I have been super emotional tonight.

I am planning to tell DH in a very special way on Father's day, but there have been so many moments tonight when I just wanted to blurt it out. But I didn't want to ruin my special plans!

better than me! I had a whole surprise planned to tell DH on fathers day... and we end up getting into a spat and I got mad and blurted out that I'm pregnant

 

[bridgetboo62]

hehe i just tested with OH because it wasnt close to any holidays or special occasions when i tested and he always said he wants to be there everytime i test haha

LOL these were totally romantic, sweet moments. DH has been an absolute doll tonight. He had dinner cooking when I got home, he has been taking care of the LO so I can watch my show, cuddled with me. We were all cuddling and he was like "I love my family" all snuggled up, I so wanted to tell him then!

 

[bridgetboo62]

awwww that is soooo sweet!
he sounds like a great guy
im super he will be thrilled when he finds out

 

[bridgetboo62]

why are there adjusted ages on some peoples tickers for their kids?

 

[ttc126]

When you have a Preemie, you have your baby's age by bday and age by due date. My son should be 8 months old if he wasnt born at 36 wks.

Sometimes preemies are behind on milestones but if you go by adjusted age, they're right on track.

 

[misspriss]

My son was a preemie, so he has his actual age (from when he was born) and adjusted age (from his due date). His development should be measured against adjusted age, not actual.

 

[bridgetboo62]

so i dont think i have pooped in over a week
i honestly cant remember the last time i went
and i have no urge to what so ever
my lower abdomen doesnt even feel like there is any poop in me
and when i try to go nothing comes out

i have never experienced this before and dont know what to do
i have been eating tons in the past and it just seems to disappear
my tummy isnt any bigger from having a lot of food/poop in me
and i have no urge to go and when i try nothing at all will come out
im really worried

 

[bridgetboo62]

oh okay i thought it was because of preemie babies but wasnt sure
thank you ladies

 

[misspriss]

Oooh I don't know, I've been eating a ton, but I'm still having my regular at least once a day poop, sometimes twice. When I was in the first tri with DS, I went from once a day to twice a day. Just the sheer volume, I'd be concerned if I skipped more than a couple of days...

 

[confuzion]

To join in on the poop talk, I'm not as regular as I was before pregnancy, but still going at least once every 2-3 days. It's not as satisfying as it was either . But I guess it could be worse.
