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

[whittnie117]

Hi ladies! Loving all of the scans!! I haven't had one since 7 weeks and I'm 11 weeks on Monday so I'm so ready to see little baby again!

I see my Doctor Monday, yay just for a check in and we will hear the baby's heartbeat with a Doppler also but I think I have to tell her I have to change Doctors because we moved, we bought a house about 40 minutes away. It works for now to see her still because I work by her by I think for delivery I might want to be closer I like her so much though!

I also have a scan on July 24th and then another on July 27th but that one is for Down syndrome screening. Husband thinks the screening is a good idea so we could prepare if Baby were to have Down syndrome.

Can I just vent for a second? I don't know about all of you but I'm a worrier and I'm just getting so down with worries for baby. I don't know how to put it behind me. All of the time I'm worried. Someone said I'll be worried for the rest of my life and to find a way to deal. But I don't know how. It's so stressful. How do you guys do it? ;(

With my first, I worried all the time. Things kept on happening that caused worry. I bled heavy, on sonogram his chest showed too big, I had to be monitored twice weekly, etc...I always just felt there was something wrong and I should worry. Well, fears and worries were unneeded. My son was perfect. It's hard to stop worrying when there are so many fears and expectations. I have no advice really on how to contain the worry. I couldn't until the end when suddenly I felt fine and that he was perfect in there. That wasn't until week 33 or so. All I can say is that if your 12 week scan goes great, just try to relax. Easier said that done, I'm know.

This time around I feel fine in the pregnancy. I may have every symptom in the book, but I feel great about this pregnancy. No real worries. Which is weird because, like you, I am a worrier too. I am also impatient, so while I am impatient for things to happen, like my first appointment and ultrasound, I still feel fine about this pregnancy.

I guess every pregnancy is different, but I'd try to just focus on all the positives in your life rather than the possible negatives that are super highly unlikely anyway.

It's so easy to worry because there are so many unknowns and so many things that could go wrong.
But in the end, whether you worry or not isn't going to keep the bad things from happening if they're going to happen.
And most likely, nothing bad is going to happen! Sure, we've all heard sad stories, but the vast majority of babies enter this world perfect and healthy.

Hey all! I'm technically due feb 7 but I'll be induced jan 28th since I'm carrying twins!!!

 

[rollachick]

Can I join please? Due around the start of feb, can we say 3rd for now bit will update after 12week scan as they put me a week back at 7.5 week scan xx x

Welcome, we are due date buddies for now

Ramzi can't be done after 8w0d. It's inaccurate after then, sorry.

Nausea is REALLY kicking my butt and it doesn't help that I'm in food services. Drinking water makes it much worse, to the point that I'm gagging, and because my restaurant is so fast paced, you sweat and dehydrate pretty fast, so I need to drink water. It's a vicious cycle.

Could you try adding something to the water like lemon juice or something to make it not taste so bad? I know last pregnancy i cudnt stand water so wud have lollies in my pocket and take tiny bites of them then chug down some water, only way i could get water into me. But guessn if you feeling sick already then sweet lollies wont do it for you

If its just the distance youl have to go for delivery thats the problem i wouldnt worry bout it, i wish i only had to go 40min! Closest birthing unit to me is about 1 hour 15min away and thats over windy hilly roads with no cell phone reception. And last time i ended up going 2.5 hours away cause that was the closest big hospital and i wanted to be near it if anything happened. If shes really nice and you get on well with her then thats really important, you could interview people closer but its really nice having that close bond with your doctor, makes delivery much more relaxed i rekn

Hey all! I'm technically due feb 7 but I'll be induced jan 28th since I'm carrying twins!!!

Woohoo congrates, first twins in this group i think, how exciting

 

[sailorsgirl]

[Harleyy]

What time is your scan tomorrow?

 

[BrittRashel]

Welcome Kirstie and Lady.

I am so hungry all the time. Then I eat and feel sick, but if I don't eat...I feel sick haha. Getting some cramping on my left ovary side, but I don't think it's anything abnormal, probably just a little cyst. l can't wait until my scan next Friday.

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Ugh this is me too. I just ate a small cinnamon roll and I'm still hungry but I know if I eat anything else, I'm going to feel so bloated. 3 more weeks and I will be out of the first trimester and hopefully feeling better.

Welcome to all the new ladies and I will keep you in my thoughts Harleyy!

AFM, I have my appointment to get the blood work for the Verifi done. The nurse told me that they typically get the results back in 3-5 business days so hopefully I'll get it this week so we can find out what we are having!! Oh and we heard the heartbeat on my pocket Doppler yesterday. 152 bpm.

 

[jessthemess]

I'm a little less worried now because I heard the heart beat!!! It was so cute! 172 bpm. I'm so excited!!!

[kayleigh_jane]

Hey ladies! I hope everyone is doing well welcome to the new mummas!

I have another u/s this afternoon to check on my SCH. I have everything crossed that it's gone completely, or at least smaller than it was! Will update when I know x

That's so cool!

How are you both feeling? This is my 2nd pregnancy and it's so different to my first!! I've got constant nausea and eating is a chore!!

Are you guys suffering or is plain sailing so far?

Hope it goes / went okay.

Fingers crossed it's all good now.

I can't wait for my scan. Finally see midwife next week on the 22nd but it still feels like years away. And my wisdom tooth has decided now is a good time to act up and I've got horrible toothache; pretty sure there's an infection in the gum as it's really swollen. Have an emergency dentist appointment this afternoon and I am bricking it, hate hate hate having to go to the dentist. And I'm worried they won't do anything because of the pregnancy; I think it needs to come out but don't think they can do anything without Xrays. Ugh. I'm driving myself into such a panic about it and it's not helping the nausea!

Anyway, hope everyone else is good. xx

Ahh oh no! Wisdom tooth pain is the worst! I hope it all goes okay at the dentist and they can at least do something to relieve the pain!

My U/S went really well thanks hon! SCH totally cleared up and bub was stretching and wriggling around in there. Was so unbelievably cute, I couldn't stop crying haha. They also moved my due date forward about a week as bub was measuring ahead but I think I'll keep my Feb 3 dd, they did the same thing with my first pregnancy and he was born on his original due date anyway

Hope everyone is doing well x
