February Lovebugs of 2016!! 16 pink, 15 blue, 7 yellow

[GenYsuperlady]

Another West Coast, USA girl here! After growing up in Seattle and living 8 years in Portland, DH and I recently moved back to his hometown in SE Washington State to be nearer family and friends.

I'm 31 and he's 32, and we have a 2.5 year-old girl named Summer. We've been together almost 10 years and next month is our 5 year wedding anniversary.

I work full time in the emergency room as a physician assistant (stress and chaos!) and DH is an insurance agent.

This next baby is very planned, but I'm still nervous. I had severe post-partum depression with my first, and those first few months were a bit traumatizing as a result. I'm hopefull that being a more experienced mom will help a lot this next time.

Oh and while we were all about being surprised last time, we do intend to find out the sex on this one!

Mondie, don't feel like running to the doctor too much is a problem. If you feel something is wrong, it's better to go as many times as needed until you confirm that nothing is wrong.

How far along are you? The rectal pain could also be from a prolapse. Please go get seen again, even if you have to sit in emergency. I hope they get answers for you.



I had to go to bed earlier than I usually do last night. I'm normally an 11pm-1am type person, but despite sleeping in yesterday to 8am, I was done by 9:30 and gone at 10 lol. Now I'm up at 6:30am and ready for bed already.

I'm only getting bits of nausea here and there, if I eat something Squish doesn't like. I'm expecting nausea to hit full force next week or by 8 weeks at the latest. For now, I'll try and enjoy being mostly sick free.

I've got an appointment today at 5:40 with doctor because I'm concerned about a couple of things.

I really wanna talk about it on here, but I worry about being judged .. Ahhh!

And I wouldn't know what section to make a post about it

Emrhian none of us here will judge you, it's always better to talk about things. We're here to help and give advice not judge. Xx

Hey gals! Havent replied since my first post. Sometimes I'm more of a reader than a chatter.Not a whole lot of symptoms here, just some cramping off and on. I'm 23, DH is 24. We've been together since my junior year of high school. This is our first and we are so excited/terrified! We're thinking of telling our parents and siblings the week of Father's Day. That will be really early, but we have no idea what we're doing so I think we will enjoy the support.

We're thinking of telling our parents around Fathers Day as well.
I would like to tell me Mom first, which will probably be this week since I am going out for coffee with her. Then for both of our Dad's we are just thinking of getting them a "Grandpa" card for Fathers Day instead of just a "Dad" one. FI's parents are together, so when his Dad opens the card his Mom will be able to find out at the same time.
It will be very early for us as well, and we don't know what will or could happen, but I think I would like the support from people.

So happy someone else is telling early too. I felt crazy!
We got onesies and baby blankets and we're going to give them to different family members as a gift. We're going on vacation with my family so this is the perfect time to catch everyone without it being suspicious.

How is everyone today, boy has the morning sickness hit me, I have no appetite and just a sickly feeling. I could only stomach plain rice and yogurt today. Having a moment when I wish I could be put on the IV and not worry about eating at all

No one will judge you and its the whole reason for this forum and threads like these. For all you know we have all been through it

I got my letter today for my booking in appointment... Next Monday, so in a weeks time. 😃 hopefully I'll get my maternity notes then, or is it 12 weeks you get your notes? I can't remember. Not looking forward to the blood tests though.

Are you afraid of needles like me. Every time I see a needle I want to run the opposite direction

 

[SpudsMama]

Yep, I'm dreading the blood tests too!! (I'm both needle AND blood phobic )

 

[ajarvis]

Mondie that doesn't sound like something to ignore. Really anything in your pregnancy isn't. Dr is there to help reassure you and keep you healthy. I'd ask.

There's no judgement here! As for needles I'm not afraid of them, but that's a pretty common fear. Talk to the nurse doing your blood draw and she should be sympathetic!

I have a dr appt. this morning to confirm pregnancy and get a requisition form for u/s and just have this irrational fear that the pregnancy test will be negative lol

 

[Jules8]

em- I agree with everyone else. We will not judge you for anythings o do not feel embarrassed. All of our struggles are different and having a forum like this is to help support one another no matter what that is.

I'm not afraid of needles as long as it's over quickly. The problem is that I have deep veins so sometimes it takes a few tries and a lot of bruising.

I had my bloods drawn this morning and she was really good about it. This is going to be the longest few hours everrr! lol I just want to know that those two lines I have been seeing aren't a figment of my imagination..the doctor called it cautiously optimistic, which I think pretty much sums up how I am feeling.

How is everyone feeling symptom wise today? Mine have pretty much been low key today. Just bbs feeling like they are going to pop out of my bra. lol

 

[ajarvis]

Mine is just a pee test. Sooo should be no problem No bloodwork likely til July. Not supposed to have an u/s til then either. But I want one to ease my mind since my mmc last time.

 

[GenYsuperlady]

Still shy on symptoms here, but I POAS'd a few days ago and the test line was crazy dark, so I'm less concerned and trying to exercise as much as I can before I feel awful (I was a nauseous mess with #1).
Getting excited for my scan on Thurs, even if it will just be a little yolk sac

 

[sausages]

Awesome, glad you guys like it I do quite like faffing with pretty images and things.

Ah, i get it now about the green/yellow thing. Well, i can easily make different colourways - just let me know what people want later on when it's time and i'll get on it.

A getting to know you bit sounds good too. Do you mean like a little ten questions thing?

Oh, and the url for the graphic is [*IMG]https://i58.tinypic.com/2j1mkv5.png[/IMG*] Just take out the two * when you post it.

I posted the link a few pages back, but I guess it got lost. Here it is again...

I am quite worried about a pain I have. It's really low down in my pelvis and on the right hand side. I do get quite a few pelvic pains anyway, but this is being quite persistant. Is anyone else having this? Really localised and on one side? :/

I get all my cramps and pains on the left - Im betting it's where baby implanted.

 

[Mondie]

Well I saw another doctor who was lovely. She confirmed the prolapse and checked my cervix and said all was looking ok so far. So whilst I still hate the feeling the prolapse is giving me, I'm trying not to worry too much.

Thanks for the advice ladies xx

Nice to read a little about everybody!

I am 27 years old, hubby is also 27, we live in British Columbia, Canada and have been together for 10 years (since grade 12).. married for 4 years this July!... we have a 15 month old daughter that took 6 years to conceive... this baby took two months (go figure!)... We have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a chinchilla and a turtle and love spending time with family and friends

No idea how you manage all that!!
I have a 10 week old puppy and she's such hard work!!! Hahaha. Hopefully by the time baby comes she'll have settled down and she'll take well to the baby.

I've always wanted a chinchilla haha they're so cute!

Hahaha! Puppy's are the most work... it does get easier!!
