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

[BrittRashel]

I've had some left sided pinching pain on and off.
Ultrasound shows one possible sac, measuring under 5 weeks, in the uterus and nothing questionable in the tubes. I've been sent back to emerge for a follow up and more betas though

Pinching and twinges are normal though. Which I'm sure you know since I think you said this was your 5th child, right? Still, Fx for a healthy and sticky little bean!!

Having a seriously emotional day.
We were in a very serious wreck on Sunday, our car rolled over into a ditch off of the interstate... Everyone is ok, but being the driver I've been very sore, and wanted a day to rest yesterday. No cramps or bleeding, and everyone is all good thank god, just lower back, left side soreness. So I called into work yesterday to rest, AND AM BEING FIRED FOR IT. I've been sitting at my desk since noon crying. My kids birthdays are Thursday, and next week, we are falling behind on bills, have too be another vehicle and deal with insurance companies... And now this. What else is going to get chucked our way?! Seriously?!

Oh no! I'm glad everyone is okay... sorry you're having such rotten luck. Doesn't seem fair to be fired for that!

I don't think that is legal. Was their exact reason why you are fired because you had requested yesterday off? Why did they approve it if they were then going to fire you? Not cool.

Hey ladies! Excited to join! Due with #2 Feb 1st!

 

[ajarvis]

sorry you're having such a rough time foruiholdon!

Brandi that makes sense! Glad so far they're seeing it in your uterus and not your tubes I've also been having twinges and pinching. Completely normal in regular pregnancy too. How far along do you have to get to to be out of the woods for an ectopic?

I agree with Jess, that doesn't sound legal. If you have PTO then you are allowed to use it when you need it. A coworker of mine has problems like this with my boss' boss. He complains that she takes too much time off but it's because she only uses her PTO for when her kids are sick instead of scheduling it out. What an asshat for firing you over a wreck! I would definitely look into the legality of it.

Hey ladies! Excited to join! Due with #2 Feb 1st!

Due date twins

 

[Cherr]

Jess- yay! Although I was a day early with my first so #2 could very well end up being a January baby!! Time will tell heh

 

[daniyaaq]

Brandi that's good news its in the uterus right? I still need to go to my GP for some bloods, just haven't found the time, or in secretly waiting till 5 weeks maybe he will give it a bit of a check I recently discovered my GP started doing shared care with hospitals so he deals with pregnancies.

foruiholdon - agree with PP ....that doesn't sound the least bit legal to me. I would look into it when you're feeling up to it. I am so sorry about your car accident, losing your job on top of that (actually because of that) is so morally wrong and it makes me sad that there are such heartless people in this world. Hugs to you and I hope you are able to resolve this issue with your employer..

Brandi- aw, I know the feeling... we left and went back to AB for 4 MONTHS! lol we didn't last. The short 4 months we were there we watched our local news back in BC and reminisced and then we found out we were expecting DD and decided that was where we wanted to raise our child(ren). We struggled a lot in the beginning but here we are almost 3 years later and we just bought our first house and DH has a great paying job God is good!
PS. I used to look up small towns in Ontario and dream about living there- such beautiful places out your way as well

 

[ajarvis]

Congrat and welcome twinmummy

Also I agree foruiholdon it doesn't sound legal - Pretty sure it wouldn't be here.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Thexfadingpat, that last test is tons darker!


My first ultrasound is for next Monday, should be 7 weeks so there should be a heartbeat! I think hearing that will help me relax a little bit!

My morning sickness is kicking in I have to take giant progesterone pills and they are so hard to swallow when I'm nauseous.

Has anyone else heard you can't sleep on your back while pregnant? If so, when does that start? When I google it I get a million different answers :/

NOT true. I had this conversation with my midwife. It's perfectly fine, BUT, when you start to feel faint or lightheaded, change positions. And try not to make it a habit.

I'm glad everyone is okay!! That must have been scary. As for your job, that is illegal. Call your Human Rights Commission.

Jess- yay! Although I was a day early with my first so #2 could very well end up being a January baby!! Time will tell heh

My first two were two days and 12 days early...my last two were 7 days and 2 days late.

Yup, very good news that it's in the uterus. Still not completely out of the woods for an ectopic, because it's possible to have one in the uterus and one in the tubes, but the tech said there was no evidence currently of anything in the tubes.

There's a few nice places in Ontario, but BC will always be where my home is.

Updated the front page.

AFM - So my hcg levels at 17dpo with my last baby were 465.
My hcg levels today at 18dpo were 1760.

Ultrasound showed a very small sac, less than 5 weeks, in the uterus but I have to go back next week because they're not 100% sure it's a gestational sac (they're about 80% sure). They'll also be repeating betas.

Emergency room doctor is faxing today's ultrasound and bloodwork to my family doctor and pressing that I need a referral to OB ASAP due to obstetrical history, and if they haven't referred by the end of next week, I'm supposed to go back and they'll do the referral for me.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Glad to be your bump buddy again, twinmummy!!

 

[ajarvis]

great numbers brandi! Hopefully they can see more next week!

Jessthemess also what I've been told is sleep however you possibly can lol. At some point you just won't be able to sleep on your back. With my youngest from about 30 weeks on I had such brutal heartburn that I had to sleep elevated on my back - kind of like a sitting laying position. But only way I could sleep without the heartburn. Also he was born with like an inch of hair

AFM Fatigue and sickness has set in hard today. It's 6:30 here and I could totally go to bed with the kids (bed times aren't for another half hour for th 6 year old and 2.5 hours for the 8 year old)hope I don't fall asleep reading to them ha.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Fatigue and sickness here too. I was so nauseous up until 2pm today. I'm absolutely exhausted right now, but I have to stay up and fold laundry, and I just ordered my third supper for delivery lol

 

[ajarvis]

lol Food keeps the nausea away I just finished a roast chicken, salad, spinach rice dinner and am waiting for the kids to go to bed to have cereal and go to bed myself ha

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I've had 3 bowls of cereal, two muffins, a bagel with cream cheese, lettuce and tomato, a turkey and cheese sandwich, a cheese bagel and cream of broccoli soup, and 9 bagel bites to eat today, and I'm now waiting on my Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and roasted veggies from Boston Pizza to come to my door.
