Thanks so much girlies, I was very pleasantly surprised, didn't think I'd see that much! Drank LOTS of water before though, maybe that helped?

Love that scan picture!!!! I think i'm 10+2 so my little bubba must look something close to that! Thanks for sharing

Hey ladies! looks like everyone is doing well
I have had one crazy eventful week! my DH's grandpa died on sunday and i am feeling so grateful we told him we were expecting early on. Then my twin sister found out she is moving to north carolina tomorrow (where her husband is based for the navy) it was very last minute ive spent my whole life with her. So this weekend ill be saying goodbye to my sister and going to a funeral, as well as a college graduation party, and a christmas party... then its my first Dr.'s appointment on monday!!! wow hope i survive this weekend.

I just started feeling a bit nauseas yesterday and a little today... i am so nervous of getting sick. Has anyone else experience sharp pains running from their lower back through their hip and down their leg? I get this every once and awhile... and its so painful i can walk or stand. i just wonder if its because my body is going through so many changes. Anyway i hope everyone had a great week! yay 8 weeks tomorrow! can't wait for my scan monday!

girlinyork I am terrified my hormones are going to give me away at Christmas with the family. I am crying at literally EVERYTHING and I'm really NOT a crier... Uggghhhh. Hiding things is hard.xx
Pinklollipop I'm so glad you saw the little heart beating away in there best news ever!!xx

I'm feeling crappy tonight FOB hasn't been in touch recenty and doesn't seem to be speaking to me. He got back with his ex when he dumped me, and she is pregnant with his child too!!! She is due to give birth in January, I knew she was pregnant when we got together but understood it was over between them, so... Anyway to cut a long story short I thought I'd "dealt" with my feelings about him, but evidently I haven't. Keep bursting into tears and having random attacks of insane anger wanting to smash his face in. It's not because I'm jealous, if it was jealousy, I'd have told her he got me pregnant, while she is carrying his child (accident or not), it's just infuriating and hurts that he just walked away and straight back into his life where he left off, wedding back on and baby on the way... And my life is changed forever. Don't get me wrong, I love the baby, in SPITE of its father being a pr**k but, I feel a little sad, like I'm going to look at my beautiful child every day and be reminded of the terrible mistake I made in ever falling for that JERK sorry to moan ladies, I literally have NO ONE else I can talk to about this. xx

The situation I was in with my DD's bio-dad was similar in a lot of ways. Except him and I had been together 1 1/2 years, i found out he was cheating the same time I found out I was pregnant(not planned) tried to work it out, ended up leaving him at 5 months pregnant, found out after leaving him he had still been seeing this other women the whole time and she got pregnant just before I left. Anyways, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I can assure you, you will NOT think of him every time you look at your baby. I look at my DD and see nothing of him in her. I met a WONDERFUL man who is now her father in every sense of the word.(her bio dad is not involved at all) So my DD isn't even aware that my DH isn't her father. Of course we have already discussed, if when she's older she asks or it comes up, we will tell her. But while she's growing up, we just don't see the point. Your child will be a well loved little baby with or without FOB in the picture. And like I said, you will not think of him every time you look at your LO. And the feelings for FOB will fade after your hormones go down(mine did, and fast)
The way I always look at it is, I don't even regret that relationship because I got something absolutely wonderful and incredible out of it. She is the good I got from all the heart ache and I'd never regret that for a minute.

The one thing that got me through was knowing, at the end of my life at least *I* can say I did ever thing *I* could for my child and *I* didn't miss out on anything.

Your going to be a wonderful mother. Don't ever forget that

So sorry to hear about everything your going through. But you will come out the other end a stronger women!

As for the pains, sounds like it's your sciatic nerve. It's really common in general, and becomes even more common in pregnancy. If it keeps bothering you, mention it at your appointment on monday. Hope that helps some!

TTCinBC: well said!!!

I had one done at 4w5d and they only saw a sac then, but my last one at 5w6d they saw baby, very small. Sometimes a week can make a big difference to what they can seen on a scan. By 7 weeks they should see something, when will you be getting another one done?

 

[nicola ttc]

THANK YOU puppycat and kissesandhugs you're both absolutely right!! He totally used me and I didn't realise until it was too late that he was only really after one thing, and was just telling me what I wanted to hear to keep me coming back. I guess hormones sometimes make it hard to see things from different perspectives, and I'm so with you that, whatever he decides, I am going to have a little miracle to love and cherish, and he or she is going to have two big brothers that will love him/her to bits too!! Lucky baby, lucky me and my lucky boys xxx

Love this last bit . You just have to remind yourself when things are tough - YOU are the lucky one. Even if he is a complete idiot about it all i can tell you have more than enough love to give bubba for the both of you! You also sound like you're dealing with it really well, you should be proud of yourself!

 

[oopsbaby]

I love you ladies so much! You have turned my frown into a smile TTCinBC so sorry to hear you went through something similar but it's really nice to hear the outcome was positive and I am sure you're right my baby won't remind me of that excuse of a man. Overall I'm feeling a lot more positive but sickness has kicked back in today, I swear I am actually this green xx

I Have another on december 28

Hi ladies...after gagging for about 2 weeks I woke up this morning and threw up for the first time(my stomach was empty so it was just white saliva stuff) but it actually felt really good and I feel fine now.

oops-good attitude~just focus on your miracle right now most guys are useless anyway, lol.
flower-let us know how it goes on the 28th! My due date is close to yours anywhere from August 4th (if I go by ovulation) to August 8th (if I go by LMP). I don't go to the doc until the 4th of January I'm nervous!

 

[kissesandhugs]

Ughh I've been so unbelievably NAUSEOUS all the time!!!! I'm so over it! I've wished and hoped for this after the scare so I'm really hoping it's the little bean lol! I've thrown up a couple times but mostly it's been gagging. Grandparents were soaking dishes this morning in the sink and I could smell the grease Now I'm at work...5.5 hrs left. It's going to be a VERY long day!!!!!

 

[puppycat]

All sounds good girls! Carry on puking

Trying so hard to see the bright side lol. Morning sickness is GOOD... lol. I look as rough as I feel and bought 6 gingerbread men from Greggs earlier today. Lmao, nibbling on gingerbread, wearing my sea bands AND listening to my morningwell cd... Praying for some relief from this nausea.xx

 

[pinklollipop]

My "morning sickness" is way worse at night, starting at 6pm, I have to be laying down by 8, it really sucks! I never had this with my other 2, its really stressing me out at night and I can't get anything done from about 6 on because I feel so crappy.

 

[littlenibble]

Hi everyone just getting caught up again. I am still not having morning sickness, more of everything there is to eat is just a complete turn off to me. I have had a rough time keeping this a secret this week as my work has had two luncheons and the food at both was just bleck. I choked some food down at each one, but I felt horrible afterwards. I hope everyone else is doing well even those who are having a rougher time.

 

[flower94]

I'll let you girls know how my next scan goes.. hoping all is well! Doc took HCG levels Monday and Wednesday and they more than doubled and that made me feel better.. plus I definitely feel preggo so I'm sure bubs is just fine!

Sorry to those feeling sick.. I definately feel for you!! I never puke, even when I'm sick but god sometimes I wish I could so I can feel good. Everyday I wake up to sickness.. I can't eat anything until well in the afternoon, and even then the only thing I want is milk. Oh milk.. craving it. Like crazy.

Just took a 3 hour nap because I work 10-6 and my body now thinks it;s morning.. so I feel sick again. At least I don't have to hide it at work.. just around my family until Sunday!
