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

I am sorry for those having pains. I hope you feel better soon!!

spuds- I have been extra snippy with mine. I want him around, but when he is I get annoyed so quickly....poor guy. lol He is being such a trooper!

praying- I don't know about the Ramzi theory, but I am glad you got to see your little one.

My dreams are vivid and ridiculous. lol. I have been waking up a whole bunch through the night so I wonder if that has anything to do with it as well. Other than that I am just using the bathroom more than usual, pinches/tingles down below,sore bbs, and extreme hunger. I have been craving ketchup, red sauce, and popsicles...so weird.

I'm perpetually craving Top Ramen. Whyyyyy? Am I five years old again?

Currently on the search for an OB. It's kind of stressing me out. Regular Dr couldn't give me any names/recommendations and I dont have a regular GYN. I'm hoping that my sister can give me the name of her OBGYN when we tell our families.

In other news, cramping off and on still. Kind of slowed down today. DH says he has notice I am much more cranky than usual (oops). I recently misspoke and told him the baby would be due in July. I'm blaming pregnancy brain. Oh, and according to my calculations 5w1d.

 

[Cherr]

For the ladies with cramping around 5/6 weeks, I had the same thing... closing in on 8 weeks this Friday and the majority of the crampy feeling is gone... of course I get twinges and pinches still! I gotta get my butt to the lab to do my prenatal bloodwork... but fasting at this point sounds awful...all food is turning me off, yet if I don't eat anything my stomach starts rolling, eww

 

[GenYsuperlady]

You ladies are so funny!

I've got no patience for anyone to be honest but hubby gets a lot of my poor attitude. I have to be on good behavior today though as we are celebrating Fathers Day early (Fathers Day is this Sunday in the States but I'll be working...the joys of being in the Emergency Room, crazy hours). Anyhow, I'm being all sugary sweet but just about lost my head when I tripped over a cord he'd left around! I recovered nicely though, cooking him a big breakfast now.

I've had some vivid dreams...forgot about pregnancy causing those! Can't remember them now of course.

I've had a mild bit of nausea but I also had my symptoms REALLY kick in at 6 weeks last time. Fatigue sure is starting. Boobs are getting bit and I've constantly got hard nipples like it's cold out! A bit embarrassing when I'm at the pool with my daughter is a heat wave!!!

Only 5 hours now til my first scan and we see the dot!!!!!! Can't wait for my first baby pic

I haven't been posting much over the past few days. I've been sick, not just pregnant sick but chills, body aches and sore throat sick. So I have been hibernating.

To all the girls with cramps, I am right there with you. I was crampy this morning and still a little right now but I remember having a freaky out moment when I was pregnant with my son over cramps and my doctor told that as long as I wasn't bleeding, it was fine. So I'm trying to remind myself of that.

Yay for all the ultrasounds this week!!
Praying: I'm not any good with the Ramzi theory but Brandi guessed that mine looks like a girl if you want to compare. (page 17 of this thread)

My DH was driving me nuts but he started being sweet when I got really sick so he's back in my good graces again.

Writingislove: I am normally a health nut. I love my veggies and juices normally. Now I want nothing to do with them. Yesterday I started off okay with oatmeal. Then had two corndogs for lunch and pizza for dinner. I had a bowl of cereal for breakfast today and a meatball sandwich for lunch. I feel so bad because I wanted to be healthy this pregnancy but healthy food makes me nauseous.

 

[Nola0841]

Is anyone else still breastfeeding while pregnant? I kinda wana stop bfing just so im not so tired but still loving it so dont know what to do. And want a break before this bubs comes along. My daughter is almost 13months.


I am! My son is 21 months and only nurses once every 2 days or so but man did it hurt this morning. Sore nipples are here!



Is anyone else finding themselves going off their partner?? I just look at him and feel... repulsed I've heard it can be quite common and all put down to hormones going haywire but it's still weighing on my mind a lot [/QUOTE]

I'm so replused by my husband at the moment. I feel bad but not sure how to fix it

 

[sausages]

I've just phoned and told my friend about the pregnancy. She has been trying for a few years and has had a couple of failed IVF attempts. I was so nervous of telling her, but she was lovely - I knew she would be. In fact she sounded absolutely fine, but she's good at hiding her hurt bless her. It's me who is a sobbing mess!! Life is so fucking unfair!!

 

[Quantea]

Hey everyone! Lovely to see all these new scans!

Nausea is beginning to rear its head for me, as I've been having this low-key nausea for most of the day. It's weird, because I'm often hungry and disgusted by food at the same time, lol. It usually recedes around 10-11 pm every night though.

It's also funny because I have developped this deep and uncanny disgust towards anything even remotely fatty. I'm usually a carnivorous girl and I love my junk food (even though I try to avoid it as much as possible). Not to mention I love anything sweet with a passion. But now the sight of pizza disgusts me, I cannot eat any meat other than dry-roasted chicken breast and I don't feel like ice-cream is even really edible anymore? We even had this amazing chocolate & caramel cake in the fridge and last night just seeing it in its box made me close the fridge door in disgust! I mean, lolwut?

On the other hand, lean vegetables (never really my favorite) are starting to look inviting and delicious and I keep drinking skimmed milk, which used to give me a bad taste. I had simple boiled greens for lunch today, while hubby was enjoying his (usually crazy awesome) cheesepie, because I couldn't even look at his plate without feeling like I'd throw up. And in the end, I only wished I had more greens!

Beyond weird, let me tell you. But hey, at least my diet just took a turn for the better!

When I fell pregnant with my daughter 4 years ago....my friend was going through her 3rd round of ivf....that resulted in a mmc for her at 8 weeks. I felt distraught telling her...she has since been through another 4 unsuccessful attempts and I probably have to face telling her my news next weekend as we were meant to meeting up for a boozySaturday shopping session.....either that or I cancel

Well done for getting it done love, its not easy but she will be happy for you in her own time

As for me, nothing much at all going on. I hate this waiting!!

I got 3+ on a digi this evening which was nice as I'm not 5 weeks til Saturday. Earlier in the week it was 2-3

I played my beloved netball tonight, but I didn't really enjoy it. I just keep thinking maybe I shouldn't have. I'm a bit crampy now. I had a MMC before, no bleeding or pain so I don't take much comfort with the fact there's no bleeding or pain! Wish I could fast forward a few weeks!!

xx

I am 6w+2d and besides a slightly heightened sense of smell and AF-like cramps, I've barely had any classic symptoms. I'm jealous of your food aversions and cravings! I'm a little more picky about eating food that is fresh and clean, but yeah I mostly feel normal. No extreme fatigue, only a few instances of nausea over the past couple of weeks, and most of it is so mild it's not obviously a pregnancy symptom. And mostly good/normal feelings toward DH. I can't wait until my scan so I can see my little sprout!

Oh I don't envy you hun. How will you tell her? I phoned just because then she wouldn't have to pretend or think about what her face was doing or anything. My other friend told her in person and she had advised me against doing it that way. Everyone is different though I suppose!!

 

[mitchnorm]

Really not sure....they gave up ttc and accepted they'd never have children a year or so ago....so still painful I guess but she's not actively trying. Shame as she'd love to adopt but hubby is having none of it...sad really

I might see how I feel next week

 

[mrswichman]

Sooo since I found out I havent had a day off work, and I work Dr. office hours...so by time I get home they are closed. Today I leave a little earlier to get home and try and make the first appointment, maybe if I was lucky they could squeeze me in tomorrow....I call and they are closed!!! Bloody hell...no luck. Oh well Just call early tomorrow morning before we leave for the weekend.

As for myself baby wise: Tired, cramping here and there, nausea come and goes as it pleases along with the indigestion, boobs are ultra sore!! and I have been wanting bacon past few days...and I don't really even like the stuff, oh and trips to the bathroom becoming more frequent.

 

[sausages]

That's such a shame he won't look at adoption. But it's a really personal choice I guess. I have adopted nephews and they're gorgeous, but they have a sad history. Adoption over here is nothing like what you see over in the US - so it makes it a much harder thing to do.

Ah, major bloat has started today. I'm normally pretty skinny, but my stomach is so chubby looking now.
What week have most of your ladies bloat started to disappear in the past?

It doesn't! LOL! Well for me at least the bloat just fills with baby after a few weeks.

 

[sausages]

Why has it got so quiet all of a sudden? Here I was moaning about not being able to follow and now there seems to be hardly anyone around. That'll teach me!!!

 

[BrittRashel]

Sausages, I still haven't told my friend who has dealt with infertility yet. That's great that your friend was so supportive. It really isn't fair. Every one should be able to have the opportunity to be a parent if they want to. It sucks that some people desperately want it and just can't have it.

Quantea, I wish I craved healthy food. All I want is cheeseburgers!!
