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

[ajarvis]

lol. I gained 10lbs in Oct and first tri.with my last pregnancy so this time I'm trying not to gain in first tri since I haven't lost that yet. Restraining myself ha

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I tend to lose a few in the first trimester, so I'm eating all I can before the vomiting kicks in lol

 

[daniyaaq]

Thanks ladies, now im totally hungry. With my last pregnancy i lost so much weight during the first trimester, i was vomiting with every meal i attempt to eat.

Time is going by so slowly, oh is it just me im so curious about what my baby looks like

 

[ajarvis]

If I puked it'd be easier not to gain I'm just trying to eat healthy. Like for snack I had toasted tomato sandwhich instead of ice cream ha.

 

[BrittRashel]

I am actually kind of worried. I have had barely any symptoms at all. I almost feel normal. I really don't feel pregnant. As for trying to be healthy this time, I am pretty much over thinking everything I put in my mouth. By the end of my last pregnancy, I was 60 pounds heavier than I am now. I don't want to end up there again. 30 pounds is my cap this time. Hopefully less than that. I don't want to put on pretty much any weight during the first trimester so I snack on whole wheat muffins (made with honey, not sugar), triscuits and organic fig bars between meals. Today I had a muffin for breakfast (brought two, only ate one because I did have a small touch of nausea), organic cocoa bunny snacks that my kid didn't finish from his lunch yesterday, a PB&J sandwich at lunch, triscuits for a snack and chicken stir fry for dinner.

You ladies are fast - hard to keep up with the thread! I've yet to call and make an OB appt...honestly we've moved to a new town and I'm not impressed with the providers here (I consult with them on the phone from time to time as I work in the emergency room!)
I miss my midwife from pregnancy #1! (none in this silly town). Sigh...need to get on making a decision.
Not too symptomatic yet here, at least in comparison ti how I remember feeling last time, but it's so early yet!
Trying to eat healthy and drink TONS of fluids. Gained way too much weight last time!

 

[daniyaaq]

yeah, if i compare this o my last pregnancy, im quite happy im eating actually eating something. I think with my first in the end apples became my daily meal for the 1st trimester.

day 2 here of no symptoms, don't even feel like eating every 30 minutes anymore, and i actually slept the whole night without needing to pee. Trying not to stress, but you know how it is, think i will be seeing my GP tomorrow to confirm bubbles is still there.

 

[BrittRashel]

It's nice to know I'm not the only one freaked out by the lack of symptoms. I just remember being horribly sick with DS so not having any symptoms with this LO makes me worry. I have my first appointment tomorrow so hopefully everything goes okay.

 

[ksquared726]

The last two days I haven't really felt pregnant either, so no you aren't alone! I have had some nausea, the worst of it on Sunday morning when I didn't eat breakfast until really late. But mostly I felt like my regular self with not really any cramps or bloat. However the fatigue hit me hard this afternoon/evening. Feels like 2am by how tired I am right now, but nope it's only 8:30.

I told my BFF tonight!! She's the first person who knows besides my DH and I now. She was so excited and surprised and happy .

 

[thexfadingpat]

Welcome and congrats to all the new people!


I'm really hoping I don't gain too much weight... Being my first I have no idea what to expect. My wedding is in under 4 months and my dress is already bought. So I need to be able to fit into it still. Luckily I still have time to get alterations done.

 

[BabyNo1]

Hey. I'm here due date 2nd Feb.. x x

 

[praying4my1st]

Well seems like my extreme fatigue took over yesterday and I ended up missing so much in this thread!

That's great news about it being in your uterus and awesome betas Brandi!

I agree that being fired for that seems wrong so do seek out HR!

Congratulations to the new BFPS for Feb 2016 babies!

 

[Feanorous]

Hello ladies

Can I join in? I got my BFP yesterday at 10dpo, and good progression on a FRER this morning at 11dpo. So I am cautiously optimistic having had a chemical and MMC previously, but I am thinking positive!

I'd be due 20th Feb 2016

This will be our second baby, I have a daughter who is 2.5 years old.

Looking forward to getting to know you all!

xx

 

[Feanorous]

Lol Dani!

I voted! I'm due with #2 on Feb 15. My DD is 2.5 years-old and lovely toddler, but a toddler nonetheless. Not sure how I'll get it all done (I work full time as well) if I feel as awful as I did in my first pregnancy!
So far just twinges and cramps for symptoms...rarely some mild stomach upset. Fingers crossed!

Aww just wanted to say that I am in the same boat
My daughter is 2.5 and I also work full time in quite a stressful job. No idea how I'll find having two but I'm sure we'll be fine! Eeeeeek!

xx

 

[oox_tasha_xoo]

Morning ladies. Sickness has kicked in today, not been sick yet but I can feel it there lol.
Il be having baby in January as il be having a planned cesarean this time.
I Had complications after my daughters birth so playing it safe this time
My daughters birthday is 16th January so will be close to her birthday if done between 37-38 weeks (13th-20th jan)

 

[NennaKay]

My little toddler will be 2 in under a month! I feel like I just brought her home yesterday...

In other news, I told my dad last night. I was going to wait, but I became aware of a situation at work that I didn't want to be in, so I went to him for advice. I work at a greenhouse where we water, prune, load, unload, move, and otherwise manhandle plants all day. Today I found out that the water used for the plants has both fertilizer and PESTICIDES in it.

My dad is a farmer, so I wanted to ask him some questions about the chemicals. Everything I've read says pesticides are a super NOPE, especially for the first 3-8 weeks of pregnancy. So now I have to tell my boss I'm pregnant and ask if he can move me somewhere where I won't be handling pesticide soaked plants.

Phew! Sorry for the long post!

 

[daniyaaq]

Nenna How did your dad take the news?

I havehave been really feeling like I just need to tell mom, no big announcement just sit down and talk. I don't know how she will react but she's better at voicing her concerns than step dad, which is why I need a dinner without him....hopefully soon

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Nausea and vomiting for most women doesn't kick in full force until around 6 weeks, so enjoy the sick free days while they last lol.

I have to be careful this time around. I gained 55lbs with my last pregnancy and labour and delivery was horrible. The OB who did the emergency c-section suspects I had gestational diabetes that went undiagnosed as I had polyhydramnios and my son's sugars were dangerously low when he was born. I had never gained more than 30lbs in my other pregnancies.

I'm debating on whether I want to try for a VBAC or just schedule a c-section. On one hand, I'm not completely ready to give up on the opportunity of having a natural, vaginal birth, but on the other hand, Asher's birth and what happened is still fresh in my mind. Although the chances of it happening again are rare, I'm terrified of it happening again and the best way to avoid that is to schedule a c-section. Then, there is deciding where in my pregnancy I should have it. I've gone as early as 38 weeks and as late as 41 weeks, on my own, but Asher started trying to come at 37 weeks, and because there was too much fluid, he couldn't keep labour going because he couldn't descend properly.

At least I have plenty of time to think about it.

And if it's twins, it'll be an automatic c-section. No questions.

Hi All
It really is a fast moving thread, think I'm all caught up now!!

I've got slight nausea but not too bad at the minute. The thing that is worrying me is that I'm cramping after I go for a wee. I did have this when pregnant with my DS but not until the 3rd trimester.

Anyone have any ideas? I hate this bit when you don't have a midwife to ask questions to!

Hope you're all feeling ok x

 

[mitchnorm]

Hiya......looking to join you guys!

Got my BFP last week at 11DPO and have had a strong line every day since so I am hoping this is a sticky one. Suffered from chemical pregnancies with which I got a BFP for a couple of days...then AF hit..so this one has stuck so far

I have a little girl now 3 years and 2 months...we have been trying for our second for a year now...age gap wasn't meant to be so big but hey I'll take it . It gets easier those with official 'toddlers' - I still call mine my baby girl and she always will be.

Anyone else on here ancient like me.....42 last month so feel like this is my last chance.

Good luck to everyone x x
