How do I find a bumb buddy???

[MizzPodd]

brunette- He isn't mad at all... he is very supportive and understanding and extremely patient. He has been helping out with Jayla so much more (he already helped before though but now its amazing!) He lets me rest as soon as he gets home from work, and will make me some food... on the days I can eat it.
This 1st has wiped me out. Te symptoms are doubled compared to my last pregnancy! trying to complete schoolwork every day is a big big struggle for me! whew!

I am so excited you saw the heartbeat!! Your beanie is very strong. The baby is holding on for mama! Please update us and I pray everything looks good at your next scan!

@MizzPod - hope ur OH isn't too pissed, still no for us

Had 2nd scan today measuring 6+6 and saw little heart beat but area of bleeding between yolk sac and uterine wall so still classed as threatened miscarriage so getting checked again in 10 days.

Trying to stay positive, my little bean is a fighter

Good luck love, I hope all turns out well!! Keep us updated!

How lucky are you! My husband is..sort of helpful. Really Ive been wanting to strangle him lately! With our son he deployed for Afghanistan when I was less than 6 weeks pregnant then came home when our son was almost 4 months old. So he has no idea what its like for me being pregnant and he has no idea what to do. He has been as helpful as he can be with our son but sometimes I wish he would cook me a meal, or clean, or not ask for sex every five minutes!! I have NO sex drive at ALL. Not to mention I feel so bloated and my morning sickness is out of control. My son is teething so his sleep is horrible. I feel like at this point I could sleep a week!!

Needless to say im READY for 1st trimester to be OVER! Im hormonal, bloated, feeling unattractive, no sex drive, ill, horribly exhausted. Ready to be somewhat like myself again!

For everyone who needs it.

I thought at 10 weeks your ms was supposed to start getting better but my has suddenly gotten alot worse. I am not complaining though.

How are you ladies feeling today.

I'm feeling better today. Woke up with a big appetite this morning, but only had time for an orange and cup of cereal. Can't wait to get out of work and eat some more.

Finally had a girls night yesterday and went to dinner. I had the most delicious bacon cheddar burger (only ate like 1/3 of it) and.. fried oreos with ice cream & fudge! It was the first meal I was able to in a long time. A little sad it wasn't as healthy, but baby loved it.

How is everyone else feeling?

 

[MizzPodd]

daddiesgift- Aww, I remember those days. He deployed when she was 2 months old (right when I started school), then came back when she was 10 months!!! He missed her first little teeth, first words, crawling, and walking But since he has been back, they are super close and she remembered him!! I showed her his picture every single day and when we could skype, I would let her see him
Have you told your hubby that you would appreciate some more help and not just sex? lol I understand about no sex drive... sometimes I have it, but then other times I don't. And I feel guilty because I know my hubby wants to be intimate, but I get nauseated when I think about it now...
I'm going to make sure I keep letting him know how sweet he is to me though definitely. I hope your hubby can help out more and understand the ups and downs we women go thru! I will say that this is his first time being around while you're pregnant... My hubby had some issues with how to react to me when I was pregnant with our daughter too... lol So, I think it's normal the first time around.

P.S. You are very tough to be handling going thru the teething stage while in your first trimester!

Hey LADIES!!!

How has everyone's week been? Still morning sickness, tired, bloated, all that? lol ME TOO!!!!

So I had to go to the ER because of bleeding i told you guys about a few days ago... but everything was normal, and they saw baby doing good with nice heartbeat. Turns out I had a UTI I didn't have any symptoms at all except the bleeding! I was scared because I have never had one of those before, but they told me it was common in pregnancy and not pregnancy also. Hmmm, maybe that explains the pain when I tried intercourse? Well I am praying that this was all that was causing the brown bleeding and hopefully it will stop and everything will be back to normal in a week or so.

Thaynes- right back at cha'!
Yeah that's what they tell you, and then look what happens! Lol I hope it gets better for by the second trimester at least! With Jayla (my first) mine cleared up in between the 2nd trimester, but I still couldn't smell certain items like detergent, or fragrances. Hang in there, and you are right about not complaining! MS lets me know my baby is growing nice and healthy in there still!

I am still suffering from it day and night, literally but as you said, I can't complain!

Karin-Yummy! That dinner sounds so tasty!! I wish I could eat that! lol I pretty much eat veggies and ego waffles... that's all I can eat with feeling sick. Oh and some soup from time to time.

I am feeling sick, but very grateful that my peanut is doing good for mama I am glad your MS is starting to ease up a bit

 

[Thaynes]

What are you ladies up to today.

 

[babyfeva]

Mizz Podd- I'm glad you didn't have anything to serious.

 

[babyfeva]

I've been feeling so fat and ugly lately. I had 2 patients ask if i've gained weight! I feel like i have nothing to wear.

 

[Thaynes]

I'm sorry.

 

[daddiesgift]

What are you ladies up to today.

Feeling horribly ill I wish this morning sickness would go away already. With my son I was sick maybe two weeks this is going on more than 4 weeks! Some days I feel like I can function others breathing makes me feel like puking. Today is one of those days . When my son takes his two hour morning nap and two hour after noon nap instead of cleaning or cooking I just go to sleep too. Being pregnant with a 7 month old scares me to think how it will be with a newborn and a 15 month old . Hopefully then I wont be sick!

I've been feeling so fat and ugly lately. I had 2 patients ask if i've gained weight! I feel like i have nothing to wear.

Who asks if you've gained weight!! Even if my best friend gained weight I wouldnt ask her! Dont they know us pregnant women are sensitive! Im feeling horribly unattractive as well. I have acne worse than what I did as a teenager so my face is broken out with something new every day, I feel BLOATED and guilty for not working out since I was everyday before finding out I was pregnant (tho I do plan on going back once the illness subsides) so that makes me feel fat. My hair is greasy though I wash it everyday now when before my hair was so coarse and dry I washed every three days. My body hair is growing at a rapid rate and Im constipated! My husband wonders why I dont want to have sex! Bring on 2nd trimester so I can feel a little bit more normal!

Daddies gift- i always lay down when my son takes his nap too. However he only takes 2 naps a day and both are only 40 minutes. Sometimes i wonder why i even try to take a quick snooze. He is only 6 mths. Thankfully he sttn but my oh refuses to let me go to bed before 10pm and lo wakes at 530am. Come on 2nd tri so we can have some energy back!
I too am starting to wonder how i am going to manage with a 13mth old and a newborn

.is anyone starting to show yet? Im only 9 weeks and am starting to have a bump. It never goes away so im assuming its not bloat. With my first i didnt start showing till 5mths..

 

[babyfeva]

Thanks for making me feel better. This is my first pregnancy and sometimes I don't know how to feel since I've never experienced so many changes to my body. Even my hubby doesn't have the right things to say sometimes. Last night he wanted to go to dinner and i said i don't want to because i feel so fat. His answer was isn't that what comes with being pregnant!?? wth?

 

[MissCurly]

hiya

Mizzpod- glad you know whats been going on with the bleeding/painful sex. Hopefully it can get sorted now.

So sorry for those with horrid ms, I completely know how you are feeling. I had REAAAAALLY bad ms with dd, and even though i feel sick most of the day and coupled with exhaustion, i still feel overall i am better in this pregnancy.
I found eating constantly helps, and just forcing myself to do normal things weirdly help too.
But, i wasnt able to do that the first time round, so i sometimes start worrying and hoping everything is ok- but its a bit silly right? its just that ms is not as severe this time round!

Is anyone working? if so, how has it been?

oh yeh, i totally feel fat too! but i have put weight on, and i cant drink fluids well at all, and i am dehydrated all the time.

 

[babyfeva]

I've been working 6 days a week and been feeling exhausted!! I can't wait to go down to 5 days a week starting next month!

Sorry I haven't been checking in lately, ladies!! I was on vacation visiting family and have been having some super sucky pregnancy symptoms...I spend most of my days laying in bed...only getting up to eat, use the bathroom, or go to work...blah...work...

Anyways, had my first ultrasound yesterday!!!!! Baby is doing fine...saw the heartbeat...its going at a rapid 173 BPM and guess what?! Baby is 1.69 cm long! Amazingly, I didn't cry...but I have never been so happy about something roughly the size of my pinky nail!

So...here's a pic




After posting this...I realized I had already changed my profile pic to the ultrasound pic...how silly of me to double post the pic

That looks wonderful!!!

Oh, I would do the same!!! You are proud of your baby and want to show everyone so good for you!!!

 

[MizzPodd]

I am still feeling terrible with this morning sickness... it is as if it never lets up and is 24/7!!!! Ewwwwwwwwwwww.

I probably have put on some weight but eating is a pain. I do eat pretty good, but I always feel sick after eating. I eat to feel better, and then when my food gets all settled in my stomach, I start feeling sick again! Boo! :-<

 

[babyfeva]

beautiful scan! I can't wait for mine this Thursday!

 

[daddiesgift]

So far I have only put on a pound but gaining anything freaks me out baby weight truly is the hardest to get off! I was fairly active before getting pregnant with my son and I still worked out a little till bed rest and all that. I gained 39 lbs with my son and though a week after having him I was 20 lbs lighter it took awhile to get that 19 lbs off. I was working out at least five times a week and lost 53 lbs all together, under my pre pregnancy weight and STILL had belly flab. Anytime I got bloated I looked 4 months pregnant.

So needless to say im REALLY trying not to gain as much this time around. I dont get a cute lil baby bump I get fat EVERYWHERE. My legs and face looked manly ugh the joys of pregnancy!

Im still sick most days and eating often seems to help alot. Its really bad after I have napped or first thing in the morning since I have not ate in so long. I try to eat healthy food but of course thats not what the body wants! Ive had HORRIBLE cramping since yesterday, so much so I wanted to cry. I hope it is just a cyst rupture and nothing more since thats what it kind of feels like and doctor said I had a cyst. Appointment on friday anyways so can not wait to go and make sure all is well!
