July 2016 Rainbows

[NinjaPanda]

So, I've been looking for a thread for July EDD's but I guess it might still be too early for that.... I just got my BFP yesterday and will be due July 2nd. I am super excited but also super scared because of the mc I had at the beginning of the year. DH is very cautious about it too but I have a great feeling about this one. Last time I didn't get even a faint line till after my missed period and this time I got a pretty strong line the day before my period was due.

I hope we can all be a great support for one another on here to keep each other positive while getting through this tough first trimester! If you post your EDD on here I will also try to keep a list of everyone on here. Sticky rainbow baby wishes for everyone!!

I'm due June 29th, can I join lol?

 

[NinjaPanda]

Sure! All are welcome! Hehe.... Gotta admit, I'm hoping I don't end up being early.... I'm a teacher and would like to finish out the school year with my students.

 

[Dolphinleigh]

Hi, joining too please, had my mc a year ago, bfp was two days ago, due July 7, I am also a teacher so would like to finish the year out,

 

[NinjaPanda]

Woohoo! Welcome and congrats! July 2nd would actually have been my grandpas birthday and July 7th would have been my auntie's .... I think July is a good omen month for us and our rainbows!

Are any of you ladies stressed to the max about MC? I have very few symptoms right now and even though I know it shouldn't worry me it does. I am just dealing with fatigue and a bit of lower back pain. Is it sadistic to wish I had morning sickness?

 

[NinjaPanda]

I am! I've just been super tired and emotional mostly. My boobs hurt but on and off. When they aren't hurting or if I feel a little cramp I instantly freak out but I'm trying to focus on the positives. Like how last time, I didn't even get a faint line till I missed my period and this time I got a clear line the day before. My hubby does drug testing and says that means nothing but I don't care, to me it means something and if that's what I have to hold onto and stay calm, I will!.... This was my line the day before my period was due (11 dpo)

 

[morgan89]

I seem to be lucky so far, no sore boobs yet. With my last pregnancy it started after the 5th week I think. So far just really tired, sleeping solid for 9+ hours each night. Also some lower back aches but nothing terrible. I figure symptoms are a good sign.

 

[NinjaPanda]

Yeah, I'm tired a lot more than I was last time. I went to bed at 9 and thought I would for sure wake up early..... Nope! I slept a solid 10 hours and still could have slept more! I've also noticed I am losing weight (not a lot but still noticeable to me) even though I am eating the same.... That never happened last time either. I'm thinking maybe my body is burning more calories which I will take as a good sign.

I'm technically June 29th. However I have gone 14 and 15 days overdue with both my boys. So chances of a June baby are slim. I'm always left talking to myself by the end of the thread haha. Everyone else is too busy cuddling their babies haha

 

[NinjaPanda]

Yay! Welcome Rhi rhi!! So glad you can join our group..... I'm glad there is someone else from the fireflies group that will be due around the same time as me. ^.^

I have been! Not that I have any reason to think that this won't be a healthy pregnancy I guess it's just because I wanted this so badly and it happened so quickly it almost feels too good to be true.

 

[NinjaPanda]

I hear ya jalilma.... For me it has been 10 months since my miscarriage and I wanted it soooo badly. We had just begun fertility testing. I don't want to lose this one, especially when I feel so positive about it this time around.

 

[jalilma]

I had one mc 12 years ago follwed the next year by a healthy baby... I just need to trust my body.. I just haven't been pregnant in almost 11 years.. So it's almost like my first every twinge and ache I'm like "I can't remember if that is 'normal'" ugh

 

[NinjaPanda]

I think it is perfectly normal to have those thoughts. With this being my first child (second pregnancy technically), I have no idea what it normal and not normal. Every twinge/ache or lack thereof has me obsessing/overthinking. No matter how long ago, I believe the trauma of a mc sticks with us and we will forever be fearful of it happening again. For me, I need to learn to trust that my body is capable of carrying to term and for you, I think it's important to remind yourself that you are capable. Hopefully you can build that trust with your body again!

I feel the same, all my pregnancies have had twinges and pains and moments of "why don't i feel pregnant" It's completely normal. First tri is intended to drive you completely crazy, it's a test !! haha

 

[jalilma]

Thank you so much... Honestly your response made me a little teary eyed.. Yes hormones are in FULL swing! I think we both got this!

 

[NinjaPanda]

Oh those emotions! I've been insane lately.... Don't know hubby is going to handle it! Lol

True story!
