Forums New posts
Just curious if anyone feels the same- I feel like being pregnant is nothing like I imagined. I love kids (used to be a nanny) and have so long looked forward to/hoped to have children of my own... And now that I am pregnant it all just feels very disorienting! I guess I am a lot more worried than I thought I would be, and it just feels physically completely different!

Not sure this if this is normal, or if I just had totally different expectations.

Welcome and congrats to the new ladies!
 
I used to have this thought that I'd love being pregnant, I thought morning sickness would be wake up, chuck up, feel fine, etc etc.
In reality the only part of pregnancy I enjoyed and felt well with ds was 20-26 weeks. The rest of the time I was fairly miserable, I
didn't have any complications but I wasn't well ... can't see this time being much different to be honest.
Xx
 
I am a little older (33) and I put off pregnancy for a couple of years because I was terrified of morning sickness, finally realized that if I didn't take the leap I would never be a mommy. I just never imagined that I would feel so incredibly tired. I could sleep all day, every day and still be tired.

Hoping that we all start feeling back to normal and get our pregnancy "glow" soon!

I know it is probably super early but I swear I have a line from my belly button down, it is really light but clearly visible as my husband saw it without me pointing it out.
 
Ok so I have my first prenatal appt next week , I'm really excited and scared at the same time. I'll be 10 weeks so I know I'll get to hear the heartbeat (hopefully) but I'm hoping I get an ultrasound as well :)
Congrats and welcome to all the new mommies with their bfps ;)
 
Hi everyone! I'm due in Feb. I'm still waiting for my next scan (Thurs.) to figure out my due date. I'm 7 weeks +.

Just found this group. Glad I did! :-)
 
Thanks, ladies!

We were (very happily surprised) to find we were expecting. I had been told a few years ago to expect difficulties, so never thought we would be blessed with a little surprise. I tend to worry as if that wards off bad things (terrible habit that I can thank a pessimistic Finnish mother for!) so probably just scared more than anything. It is scary how much I love the little guy/gal already, I guess!

I guess i had a romanticized idea of what pregnancy would be like, so I just have to get used to not really knowing what is going on :) it is strange to have so little control in such a big thing.

I do really love coming on here and reading how excited everyone is- i can't believe there are 60 something growing bumps on here :) really appreciate the reassurance and hearing how you are all making plans.

Cannot wait to get to the second trimester... and really cannot wait to feel the baby move. My belly has definitely popped over the past few days :)
 
So a friend and I were talking tonight. She is also due in feb. Only 4 days after me actually :) we go to the same dr and there is an app on our phones so we have access to our records. She told me tonight there is a theory that you can know the gender do your baby based off your PH level. My PH is on my records as 7.5. I read that anything that is a 6.5 and higher is boy and anything that is 6 and lower is girl. Her PH is a 6.5 so it's kind of a gray zone. I wish I knew my PH with my DD so I could compare. I hope it's right is love to have a little boy! :)

It's fun to try out these old wives tales.
 
jmandrews- that's so cool! I hope it's right :)

SurpriseBub- you hit the nail on the head there. I really thought I would be psyched to have morning sickness and just to know there's a baby growing in me. I thought I'd be super happy at all times. Well, I was happy the day I got my BFP, but ever since I've been so bloated, tired, and nauseous.... people congratulate me and I'm like trying to force my facial muscles into a smile because even that is tiring. lol. I'm like "I'm so happy. And I feel like crap. It's all good." I think it's easy to romanticize it before it's a reality. I just feel like it's happening, and I can't believe how crazy I was about it when I was TTC, because it happened after all. And now, I'm sick. hahaha! But, we get a baby at the end! That's the best part.

And now I'm too tired to stay awake any longer. Goodnight!
 
Yeah I think I had a total misconception about how morning sickness would feel. This never-ending grooooooooss feeling.
 
MS is definitely worse this time round... Last time it started easing about 16 weeks, hope it's sooner this time!
 
Hi girls, I was so busy all weekend so I didnt get on here to catch up, Welcome to the new faces among the group.

My nausea is dictating alot of what i eat at the moment and I finally managed to keep down cooked tomatoes yesterday because DH made a chilli but I didnt eat alot of it either. Trying my best to keep up my fluids I am carrying around a 1 liter bottle and keeping it topped up with water. I also cut back on my caffinne alot though I was keeping within the reccomendations anyway,

Baby doesnt like me eating chocolate though, I ate a Mars bar yesterday at church and within 3 min of finishing it I was in the toilets throwing it up again :( I weas like this with one of my others as well thankfully Easter is out of the way this year and I am hoping my MS will be gone before Christmas ( though I had it all the way through with 2 of my 4 kids ) so I can get some chocolate eaten then.

I need carseats for 3 and going to probably get a seat to put on my current pushchair or wear the baby to avoid the need for a double as I really don't like doubles much at and don't think we will get one in the car we have by the time we put an extra carseat in.

I need 2 new Combi seats for ds3 and ds4, I am looking at the Britax two way elite or the Jo-ie Stages but I don't know how well we will fit them in the car as its only a 7 seater and we will need all 7 seats , thankfully Feb is a way off and we might get a new car before then, well a mini bus more likely lol.
 
Kiddi care let youtry the seats in your car good job as most of there didnt fit in mine I have an 8 seater already its old but its the best car I ever owned room for 6 kids and 2 adults and a boot only paid £1375 for it too
 
Can't upload a pic of my scan at the moment but just to let you know my TWINS both have heartbeats xxx omg xx
 
Babies are like buses lol you wait ages for one then two come along lol so happy for you
 
congrats Shelley,

Most places let you try carseats in your car, and all ERF places are supposed to fit them to your car to make sure its all nice and safe and both the seat options i like are ERF seats.
 
I was on my final round of clomid and i had 3 days of blazing OPK's so i did have a suspicion there might be more than one :)

Twin 1 on the right is measuring 9+3 and twin 2 was hiding behind the other and was curled up and they struggled to get a decent measurement but have put 8+6 on paperwork after initially saying 9+1.

I didn't get any print out pictures as it was EPU scan - but they let us take a picture of the screen!
