Hi everyone! Just wanted to drop in & say I'm due July 15th I had an ultrasound last week & was able to hear the heartbeat yesterday!
Wishing all of you a happy pregnancy xo
Hey everyone, I've been lurking on this thread for at least a month. I'm due on July 1 (had 2 scans so far due to assessing risk for a genetic disease I have, one put me at July 2, the other at June 28, so we're going with the date from my LMP).
I've told half of my family this past weekend and the rest at Christmas. It's so nice to not have a secret anymore!
Sometimes I marvel at the absolute rudeness and downright cheek of some people!Hi ladies! I hope everyone is doing well this weekend. I did not go back and read the other pages so please forgive me! I just got all heated today and was wondering if y'all are as hormonal over the silliest things too.
So, I was at the Commissary (Military Grocery Store) and one of my friend's works there. I went up to her to tell her the good news about us expecting. She said "WHAT!? OMG! Congrats!!! How far along are you?" I told her 9+2 Weeks. Then her fellow co-worker, whom I have never met and I was not even talking to her and she was not close to us when I told her, says to me "And you are already wearing stretchy pants!?" I was in shock and PISSED that she had the nerve to get in our A+B Conversation and had the nerve to ask me this question like she knew me!!! I just told her "Umm, I am bloated and I would rather be comfy!" I am so mad that I did not tell her to shove it up her A$$ and that she did not know my situation! Besides, I have 2 other children and this is my 6th pregnancy and you do start showing faster! I have a little itty bitty bump now but I am bloated too! I had just eaten and I am having issues buttoning up my pants to wear it does hurt and I can't find my belly bands. So I dug out my Maternity pants! I did not realize I should have ran it by this total stranger for her permission first!

Ugh, don't you just LOVE rude people?! I mean, seriously! People open their mouths and they don't think before they talk. If she MUST say anything, there is no reason why she just couldn't of congratulated you & moved on with her JOB! Grr... I'm around 4'9" - and you have no idea how many flippen rude comments I get. From other adults, mind you! I still remember 7 years ago when I had my first child, an RN helped me walk to the bathroom. She made a comment "Didn't your mother ever feed you miracle grow?" from such recently as last Sunday, I was at a church potluck and a old woman who i've never met before comes up to me, hugs me from the side and says "your SO short!"...
I am shy when that happens, but I hate it. It's rude, hurtful and embarrassing. Like the girl in the store, I don't think they are going out of their way to TRY to be mean, but folks can be just extremely insensitive. The fact is, is that I suffer from a genetic intestinal disease that when started from childhood, can stunt growth. I wonder how people would feel if I said "I'm short because I have a disease that's made me this way - I can't help it"... Would they feel like a jerk and re-think what they just said? Maybe i'll try that next time.

Aww take no notice of her, some people dont think before they speak! I was thinking today how comfy some niiiice stretchy maternity wear would be instead of my tight jeans! My tummy is just fat/bloat at the minute, but i suppose the fact its got an ever expanding womb underneath it has made it look/feel even fatter! I darent buy ANYTHING remotely pregnancy related though until ive had my 12 week scan in 2 weeks time! But man i cannot WAIT to get some lovely stretchy stuff to wear!
I bought mat pants at just over 8 weeks as my other pants were sooo uncomfortable!!! I would way rather be comfortable!!!!
Oh.. and 9+6....
Hi Lillerina, I'm due July 1st too
Not much new happening for me.. I'm still waiting for my really bad food aversions to pass. I do feel better overall and most days I forget I'm pregnant. My 2 year old keeps me too busy
My due date changed to July 17th!! First Ob appointment went well!
