Femmes Fetales - (PAL) Holding onto Hope 9 months and on...

[milosmum]

Good luck Vixmar!

Amber/ Grand - what about low cal lemonade - I mix it with orange or apple juice and its lovely! I am sure that it is caffeine free. Irn Bru is good if you happen to be in Scotland!

Feeling a bit worried today - boobs seems less sore, shouldn't really complain but my signs started to disappear before my m/c last year. Trying to keep the pma but its hard xxx

 

[grandbleu]

Don't worry just yet Milos - I don't have major symptoms and I'm a week ahead. PMA PMA PMA! repeat after me

Great drink idea - here's another - I bought some cranberry juice and perrier and did a cranberry spritzer with a dash of lime juice...very good...not as good as my nightly wine but yummy indeed.

 

[milosmum]

mmm cranberry spritzer might need to buy more juices!

Ok PMA PMA PMA PMA PMA - i promise to try xxx

 

[grandbleu]

Night night mums and babes...sleep tight and much sticky dust to all

 

[Amberyll23]

Milos--I agree with Grand, don't worry about the boobs, I have read that in the early weeks symptoms can come and go, and everything can be just fine!

Thanks for the tip on the lemonade, I am not sure I can find that in the states. My gripe with low cal stuff over here is that it is usually LOADED with Aspartame (artificial sweetener), which is not recommended for us pregnant ladies.

I do a spritzer at home also! But I use lemon/lime soda (140 cals! plus whatever is in the juice I add)--so I worry about the calorie intake on drinking too many of those. As my nightcap though, I bet that would be grand as I usually drank a nice big glass of wine, and that had probably a similar calorie count!

Night night ladies and babies!

 

[BellasMummy]

Morning ladies!

Grand - great news about job!

Vixmar - hope scan went well.

Amber - can you send some of your Tempura my way please!!

Well I am still itching like all over my body! But no other symptoms yet! I hope I get some this time just to ease my mind!!

xx

Morning ladies,

Bellas, that's so weird you say that about itching, I have had a really itchy back the last few weeks, sometimes to the point I am lying in bed and I can feel prickles on my skin! I wondered if it was a preg thing!

Milosmum I hear you on the boob thing, mine dont feel sore or "weighty" today and I am petrified as the same thing happened to me last time. God this is such a stressful time isnt it??

AFM, I confirmed my m/w appt today for next Sunday and got my scan date of the 16th March, aaaaages away! If I cant make it that long I might have to pay for a private one. I will see how it goes...

 

[BellasMummy]

Hey Kizzy

I am soooo scared too! I keep thinking about every slight pain I get!

I did a digital test yesterday and it said 1-2 weeks, I see yours said 2-3, when did you take your test?

xx

 

[kizzyt]

I did my test 4 days before AF was due (I dont know when I ovulate so cant tell you how many days past O I was but I was CD24) and it said 2-3 weeks. I think I O'd on CD9 (Boxing Day) and we'd dtd on Xmas Day which was only 8 days after my first period after m/c so I think I caught really early this time. The only reason I think that is because on Boxing day I had lots of cramps and back ache, similar to what I had last time I got preg, I have never taken a lot of notice of my cycles before but I remembered that feeling. Hence testing early, I just had a feeling something had gone on...

 

[BellasMummy]

I took my digi 11dpo but I took it apart and it has 3 lines which is meant to be 2-3 so I am thinking maybe I was just under the 2-3 week mark because my other tests all had quite dark lines at 10dpo.

 

[milosmum]

Thanks for the reassurance ladies - bobies hurt again today - I am so pleased which seems silly since tey are rater sore!
No other signs - some stretchy pulling stuff mainly on the right (my tubed side) which had me worried but now pulling on my left side today so much happier it is even.

Keep saying I will just ignore all these signs and wait for my scan but thats atleast another 10 days away - the wait is awful!

I did a clearblue digi on 14 dpo and it said 2-3 weeks which I was really surprised about I thought it would only say 1-2 weeks. It was a ncie surprise tough. STill have one digi in the drawer and considering if/when to do it. I know if it still says 2-3 weeks I will just panic! Might do it in another week just before my scan then hopefully it will say 3+ weeks and if not my scan won't be far away x

 

[kizzyt]

I did mine a week after I did the first one and it still said 2-3! I was gutted and annoyed with myself for doing it too early but I didnt worry about it, 2-3 is a span of 14 days in my mind so I am sure its all cool.

My boobs are sore again this afternoon, the poor things are probably going to be black and blue from me prodding them all day!

 

[Amberyll23]

Morning ladies!

Milo and Kizzy--yay for sore boobies!!

Bellas--I can't send the tempura, but I will surely post a recipe once I find a good one! I usually try 3 or 4 recipes and make tweaks before I iron out what works!

AFM: Boobs are not really sore, but they are starting to feel full and stretching against my bra (I am pretty large chested, so it makes it uncomfortable more than anything else). I continue to have cramping off and on, sometimes it is a little more severe, and that makes me freak out. Im starting to get wierd nausea "episodes"--it is hard to explain. It is nothing that makes me run to the bathroom and lose my cookies, and it is not food aversion. It is more like a silent burp and the I feel a flutter in my stomach, and then it calms down. Wierd, huh?

I am home from work today, yay! Have contractors in touching up on the house (we bought a new house last year and we have a few "settling" and drywall cracks that need fixed--nothing major). Need all this done so we can start work on painting and preparing a nursery!

DH rocks, he bought me a nice lapdesk for my laptop last night so now I can sit in bed or on the couch with it. He said he hoped it would be easier on me and the baby, what a sweetie. He's also starting to be extra helpful and watchful of what I do! Not sure I'm so keen on the watching part yet, lol!

Hi Ladies
Can I join you please? I got my BFP today at 18DPO.
My EDD is Wednesday 26th October 2011.
And our baby's nickname is Bo.
xx
ps: thanks for keeping my seat warm, Grand

 

[Amberyll23]

Welcome, Shell! Congrats again! I am so very excited and happy for you!! And another 10/26/11 baby!

 

[shelleney]

Thanks for adding me to the front page, Grand.
Wow, Amber, I didnt realise there were 3 of us with the same EDD? Bump Buddies! yay!
xx

 

[BellasMummy]

Welcome Shell!!

Congrats again! Yay we have the same EDD too, 3 of us now!!

How are you feeling! I bet that was a lovely suprise this morning!!

xx

 

[grandbleu]

Hey Shell - just added you and "Bo"! Now we'll keep places warm for the rest of our Femmes Fetales!

Amber - early symptoms seem spot on. That's so awesome how good OH is being...a lap desk what a sweet idea...maybe I'll put the hint out here too perfect for BnB chatting and relaxing LOL.

Milos/Kizzy - yippee for sore boobs!

Milos - I had pulsating L ovary which freaked me out as well but it has stopped as well...I'm thinking it's just the corpus luteum forming and pumping out hormones for us and babes.

Bellas - don't worry about digi numbers you are very pregnant!

Wow 3 October 26th babies on the way...

AFM: Still applying for jobs so FXed that somebody wants me SOON! I had a tummy ache yesterday and today...is that the start of M/S?...it's just sort of a dull tummy ache...not throwing up but not completely happy. I so want it this time around. Postponed my phone call again I just couldn't...Pinky swear Monday 9am on the dot!

 

[BellasMummy]

Thanks grand, I did another cheapo today and it had a darker line so I felt better!!

xx

 

[shelleney]

Thanks Bella, my Bump Buddy. lol.
it was such a surprise this morning. I wasnt holding out much hope, as Id had 2 BFNs this week already, and was expecting another. I feel excited, scared, hopeful, nervous, etc.
how are you?


Yes Grand, we have plenty more seats to keep warm here, for the lovely ladies still in the TWW and OTWW threads. Hope you and Little Blue are well
