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

[mrswichman]

Hi ladies,

I'm a little bit late but wondering if I can join you all? Went, for what was supposed to be, my 12 week scan and got back dated from 12+2 to 8+4 which puts my due date from 23rd Jan to the 18th Feb

We have same due date

I'm Feb 18th too! Glad to see a couple more dd buddies

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?

My second little one as well, it's kicking my butt...havn't actually gotten sick or anything but the nausea just stays put all day. And currently anything I eat is making me gag...

Are anyone else's boobs still sore??

Are anyone else's boobs still sore??

Mine are with a bra or after laying down. I think the wires on my bras no longer allow enough room... I think it's time to invest in some new bras!

Hope you're all well haven't been on in a while!

Is there anyone else who doesn't feel pregnant? I have no symptoms at all, they all disappeared around 7 weeks. I'm worrying like mad, what if baby has stopped growing so levels have stopped rising? I hope it's not just me! X

Hey dani, just asking out of curiosity, aren't you concerned with the trip to Botswana? I was under the impression that the CDC advises against pregnant women traveling to malaria endemic areas. Did they put you on malaria preventing drugs? I also think we can't use DEET in the first trimester at least? (I wish we could because mosquitoes here have been driving me crazy!) And I don't think the ciprofloxacin they prescribe for traveler's diarrhea is safe for pregnant women either. Just curious, because my own doctor has been giving me loooong talks about what is and what isn't safe to do during this time...

Not really no, I'm originally from there and the area we live in doesn't actually have malaria or anything like that.

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.

I'm the same with water I actually put lemon in it for me to be able to drink

Same here, with bra boobs get really sore.

Afm I'm just settling in Botswana, trip wasn't so bad afterall. Nausea and vomiting comes and goes which sucks. Just want it to stop. Oh I felt baby move already, anyone else?

Other than a little bit of nausea occasionally and slight breast tenderness some evenings, I pretty much don't have many symptoms. My doctor said to relax and try not to worry, because on the inside my body is going through a lot of changes. I'm trying to take his advice, but its hard when people look at me crazy for saying I feel great.

I got worried enough to post in the First Tri board about this same thing. I'm 9w5d and my symptoms started fading just after 8 weeks. I get a TINY bit of nausea every three days or so, but it's nothing like it was. I'm not as tired as I was. It scared the crap out of me, but I've spent hours (yes, hours) on Google and apparently it's not uncommon for this to happen and everything to be okay. As the placenta forms and starts to take over, apparently some women's symptoms start to disappear sooner in the first tri than others. Maybe we're just lucky.

To be on the safe side, I did order a Doppler for peace of mind...should be here next week.

Writingislove - Thank you for doing that research!! My symptoms started lessening when I was 8.5 weeks. I barely had nausea anyway, but it's completely gone now (except maybe a random little bit yesterday). I was freaked out too but trying to tell myself the same thing - that it's probably because the placenta is taking over, and I barely had nausea anyway. I still have the gas, bloating and mild cramps that feel like my uterus is growing. And I'm starting to stick out a little already, and more so by the end of the day. I bought a Doppler too and mine should be here any day now. I can't wait to check the heartbeat - hope I'm able to find it!

 

[became]

Thanks ladies, I do feel a little more at ease today! The only symptom I really have now is heartburn, when I lay down or when I eat hot food. I'm sure everything's okay, I'm just going to say I'm lucky for feeling good! X

Jonesbaby, so sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you get your rainbow sticky baby soon.

Brandi, sounds super stressful. Do what feels right to you. The extra money would be nice, but sometimes we have things go on that are out of our control and we must focus on them. It's hard to give advice without knowing the full details, but I hope that whatever decision you make is one that feels right for you and your family.

I still feel awful with symptoms. I had disappearing symptoms in my first pregnancy for about a week or week and a half before they came back full force. Relish the time! As for my breasts, they are super sore. I'm couple weeks behind a lot of ladies here, so that may be why. I never had breast sensitivity in my first pregnancy. This time it is pretty bad, but that could be because I am still nursing. None of my bras fit...and I recently lost 50 lbs (still a super plus size woman) and none of my "big" bras fit either, lol! I think I may have to buy some more as well.

Hey ladies! Hope everyone is doing well! I have my first scan today and I'm freaking out lol. I am sooooooo nervous, I think it's because I haven't been able to find a job in the Doppler. But my nausea and heartburn have been here at full force this week so I guess that's a good sign. I'll update you guys later with how the scan went!

 

[whittnie117]

My first scan is today too. I am a mix of emotions!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

I always get so nervous before appointments, especially early on! Here's hoping everything looks good!!

 

[Disneymom1129]

GL with the scans today ladies! Everything will be fine! Be sure to share pix

 

[whittnie117]

I just got back from my scan. He dated me back to a March 3rd due date, but I am certain on when we had sex, concieved, and implanted. I felt everything and I had taken a ovulation test. Besides, it is near impossible to have gotten a clear blue digital positive weeks indicator on the day I did if I were due March 3. I am just a little confused. Anyway, should I stay in the group or move over to March Monkeys? Also, here is my picture. Little bubs had a hb of 150 and everything looked good. All my numbers came back great too. I am just a bit low on vitamin D. Am I too far along for a Ramzi theory guess?
