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

[ajarvis]

I feel like I don't have much, but I still get nauseous sometimes, and am super tired alot. Nipple pain has died down though.

In good news for me though I called the booking line for dating U/S again and got a cancellation for July 2nd So much better than July 13th. Fingers crossed for a positive experience!

 

[lozzy21]

I'm tired, my boobs are fuller and my nipples hurt so bad and I'm just starting to feel nauseous

 

[mrswichman]

Ugh kind of annoyed. So was shopping with my aunt and I said " I really want speghettio's" She asked how long i have been craving them..and since my answer was since 1 pm this afternoon...its not a true craving....Mind you this is the one that tells me all my symptoms are in my head.

Yay for a closer ultrasound, Ajarvis!!! Boo for bleeding though. I hope everything goes well.

Goldstns, I have had very few symptoms as well. Sore (and ginormous) boobs, fatigue and hormones are the only signs for me. I have had the crazy vivid dreams though so I guess that would be a symptom. 0 morning sickness whatsoever. It made me nervous for a while but had an US at 7+4 and saw a HB.

Dustergirl, cute little peanut!!

mrswichman, is this your first pregnancy? I hated that with my first. People felt the need to tell me all the time that symptoms were in my head. The only thing I'm really enjoying so far about this pregnancy is when people are snotty like that, I get to say "Yeah, I've done this before. I think I know what is and is not a symptom."

 

[ajarvis]

Oh the unasked for un-needed comments never end. They start at pregnancy and go on through infancy, toddler hood, preschool, elementary etc. everyone has an opinion it seems

Thanks Britt! I think the bleeding was nothing. As it was so quick and immediate after sex, but sure is nice to get the reassurance sooner

 

[mrswichman]

No this is my second, my son will be 3 in October. I know she did this when I was pregnant with my first, didn't help she had just had her twins right before we found out we were pregnant. So she knew it all.

My appointment went well, baby is still doing well , the subchorionic hematoma is measuring about .9cm in length so bigger than the er thought Sunday but still not very big and my dr said it looks to be all clot... she said these rarely ever cause any complications so I should not worry too much unless I have a serious bleed... she said I may see brown blood or even this clot pass and but shouldn't see much otherwise..
She wants to check up on everything one more time in 2 weeks, so July 13th. I should be 10+6 so that will be exciting to see how big baby is then compared to today!!!
I don't know how I could get through the waiting without yall!!!! Thank you so much ladies for listening to me and talking to me!!!!

So glad to hear everything is going well, and that the sch isn't causing any problems with baby.

 

[pinkpassion]

Also .... I know this is very unlikely but I SWEAR at the scan there were two yolk sacs and the baby was "doubled " on the screen it's like she kept scanning and we'd see one baby and then immediately go onto another baby, I asked her about it and she said "I think your baby is just curled up but I'm not sure" she said she's known people to only see one baby in early ultrasounds and go back later to see two babies!!! I'm so confused lol, I thought for sure if there were two they'd both be obvious by now.. I hope there's nothing wrong with baby !!!

My midwife said she will try and find bubs heartbeat at my 10 week appointment. Whats the chances of her being able to, i know its still early. But its just if she shud b able to find it then my husband wants to come to hear it

You should definitely see a heartbeat on an ultrasound at that point. We saw ours at 7+4. If she is just using a Doppler, it really depends on the position of your uterus. Mine is tilted so it sits further back. My OB couldn't find DS's heartbeat on a Doppler until somewhere around 14 weeks.

Itl just be with a doppler, i know with my last pregnancy she cudnt find it at 11+3 but it turned out i had a anterior placenta. So im hoping she will but dont wana get my hopes up.

That's true. I'm the wrong person to ask on that kind of stuff though. While I wish I could get a little bit longer with the baby and I SAY that I would like to stay home, I stayed home for the first two years of Matt's life and I just don't think I'm cut out to be a SAHM. It takes A LOT of patience. While I love my son more than life itself, I am not the most patient person and while I miss him when I'm not with him, working and having time away makes me a better mom. We have a better relationship now because I'm not frustrated with him all the time and I can enjoy our time together. I'm sure that makes me sound bad but I'm just a realist and I know what I can and can't handle. I was raised by a single Dad from the time I was 6 months old until I was 7 so I'm sure not having a maternal figure until I was 7 is probably a contributing factor in that but that's a whole other story. So, the fact that I will only stay home with the baby for 3 months actually doesn't bother me all that much. I do wish it was more feasible for those that wish to do it though. Just because I'm not cut out for it doesn't mean that I agree that it shouldn't be an option for those that are cut out for it. And how you manage that many kids on your own, Brandi. Wow. You are like a superhero to me!! I have trouble with just my one.

I get what you mean but getting sick of them even tho you love them so much. Im a SAHM but some days i just wish i was back at work coz i just have no patience at all with her! Like today!

I'm nervous because my only symptoms are crazy dreams and boobs hurt a bit. Anyone else have a lack in symptoms?

I had mild nausea for about 4 days but no other symptoms at all. Boobs are starting to get a little tender when miss 13 months feeds but just noticed shes finally getting her first tooth so its probly to do with that

Not meaning any offense by it but the US is SO far behind on the value of families and how babies need their parents for more than a few weeks. I feel blessed to live in a country that values it. There had been talk a few years ago of increasing paid mat leave to 2 years, but never heard anything come of it, at least not yet.

Yes, but where would all of this money come from....??? That would require taxes to be raised and since so many people in this country mooch off the government and refuse to actually work in general, taxes are already high enough as is. It’s ridiculous. It's to the point the elderly have difficulty getting their social security that they have paid into but people like my ex-husband, his fiancée and their 2 kids (7 and 3) are very easily getting food stamps and welfare yet neither of them have been employed in a year. Well, with the exception of the one job that she gets for a month about every 6 months so it looks like they are “trying.” He refuses to get a job because then he would have to pay me child support. Then on top of that they won’t get married solely for the purpose of being able to file their taxes separately. That way she can claim the kids and get the tax credit on her tax refund whereas if they were married, the only way to get the refund is to file together and then I would get their tax refund because he is behind $7,000 in child support. But as it stands now I can only go after him and not her, so they won’t get married. There are so many people in this country that do things like that and milk the system for everything so that those of us who work hard for what we have get screwed. If there were stricter welfare laws it might be possible but I don’t foresee those changing. At least not anytime soon.

Jealous of all you ladies eating yummy things.... All iv had this morning is a glass of milk and it came straight back up so hard doing school runs when my sickness is getting worse

I’m having the problem that I only feel queasy if I’m hungry so I’m constantly snacking. I’m not used to eating this much though so it’s making me feel really bogged down and really bloated. My clothes still all fit, thank goodness, but I just don’t feel good. Not like sick I just feel… not good. There’s no way to describe it. I’m ready for the second trimester.

You have people like that no matter what country you live in though, but a few lazy a-holes shouldn't be the deciding factor in how long your child has at home to bond and be nurtured by you. (I live in the city with the highest mooching rate in all of Ontario). I lived in Ohio 11 years ago and there, at least, taxes are WAY WAY lower than in Canada. I honestly don't mind paying the extra taxes, because it means not having tens of thousands of dollars of debt from medical bills, and I get to stay home and raise my kids rather than having someone else "raise" them from a few weeks old. I had to go back to work when my 3rd child was 8 weeks old and it was the WORST. She's 4 now and out of all my kids, she's the one I am least bonded with, and I firmly believe it was because I was not around to be the one at home teaching her all her firsts. I'll take a couple percent higher taxes if it means spending extra time with my kids and getting to watch them grow up!

That's true. I'm the wrong person to ask on that kind of stuff though. While I wish I could get a little bit longer with the baby and I SAY that I would like to stay home, I stayed home for the first two years of Matt's life and I just don't think I'm cut out to be a SAHM.

I tend to go with the flow, and everything and everyone just falls into place and routine. Some days, I'm not sure how I make it through lol. I understand your perspective. I have a few friends who are the same...they want a small family, they can't wait to get back to work, they feel they are better parents when they work. It just all depends on our varying parenting styles. I LOVE staying home with my kids and I would have loved to stay home even longer, but in order to build up hours for mat leave again, and avoid welfare (which I REFUSE to raise my kids on), I had to go back. Thankfully, I was able to score a dayshift (rare right off the bat), so I'll be out of the home when the kids are at school, and getting home when they do, and I trust the person Asher will be with. My kids have been going to her for 7 years now, and her youngest daughter is only a few weeks older than Asher so he'll have a playmate. 2 hours down, only 598 to go haha.

Also .... I know this is very unlikely but I SWEAR at the scan there were two yolk sacs and the baby was "doubled " on the screen it's like she kept scanning and we'd see one baby and then immediately go onto another baby, I asked her about it and she said "I think your baby is just curled up but I'm not sure" she said she's known people to only see one baby in early ultrasounds and go back later to see two babies!!! I'm so confused lol, I thought for sure if there were two they'd both be obvious by now.. I hope there's nothing wrong with baby !!!

I've been looking into that a lot lately and I've seen a lot of women post about how they saw only one sac or baby at 5-8 weeks, and two at 12 weeks.
