July Firecrackers 2018

Wow! Lots to catch up from while I was asleep :haha:

I'm 30, and will be 31 when I have this baby. I always liked the idea of being done by 30..but I figured whats one more?!

We have close gaps with the kids. 12 months between my DD and my DS. Then there will be 22 months between my DS and this baby..so we will have 3 under 3. It will be crazy. Housewifey, I wanted my DS to be a girl since they were so going to be so close in age. They are only 1 and 2 but they definitely love eachother. I hope they will grow up just as close as they are now.

As for the betas - I only had blood drawn at 11dpo to confirm pregnancy. My level was 46, but I haven't had it checked again since.

Eppgirl - yes. I am peeing more than usual too. Pregnancy is awful for me for this because even when Im not pregnant, I pee all the time. Towards the end of pregnancy I literally pee once every hour during the night, and like 15 times during the day.
 
My sister and I are 8 years apart (there's 3 of us, I'm the oldest, then my younger sister is 2 years younger and my baby sister is 8 years younger..yes I still call her my baby sister and she's in her early 20s lol). I was SO EXCITED when she was born, it was like she was my own little baby/doll. It was awesome. Obviously we didn't have a lot in common most of my life but we are still close, and the older she gets the more we have in common.
 
I'm 37 and I will be 38 by the time this little one appears. I had ds1 just before I turned 31 and was nearly 34 when ds2 was born.

I'm starting to feel a bit nauseous on and off, tired and grumpy! Still getting the little tummy cramps and my boobs ache a bit. It doesn't feel real yet!

I will give it a couple of weeks then phone to arrange a scan appointment (hopefully 7weeks) and midwife too (from 8weeks).

Good luck with the early scans!! Xx
 
I'm 34 and will be 35 shortly after this one is born. This is my second baby and I'm not sure if it'll be the last, or if we may try to 1 more in a couple more years.
 
The age gap between my oldest and the twins is 1 year and 7 months. The gap between my twins and this baby will be 3 years and the gap between this baby and my oldest will be 4 years and 8 or 9 months.
 
Also I have decided to at least make a consultation appt with the larger OB to see what my chances are more than likely I will be switching.
That appt is the day before my u/s appt at my current OB :smack: so I have two appts right after each other.
 
Tori - I hope your scan went well :flower: I can definitely relate to your DH situation. Mines the same except we’ve given them three weeks notice but it’s still an issue.

Buffy - sorry to hear about your dream that’s awful. Every night I have extremely vivid ones. Last night I dreamt about being late for a meeting this morning. It felt so real I ended up waking myself up! Occasionally they’re nightmares like being lost at sea?!

EppGirl - my frequent urination is out of control. I already go more than the normal person before I fell pregnant. My biggest concern is when I have my scan they said empty my bladder at 6.30am and drink 1 litre of water in an hour for my scan at 8am. I don’t think I’ll be able to hold that amount for that long :blush:

I am29 and this is my first. They’ll be born a couple of months before my 30th. I’d like 3 in total but I feel like I might have put the brakes on for too long. But we’ll see.

I have learned a lot about my bladder over my last pregnancies with scans. I dont follow their directions because I will literally explode. I drink water half an hour before my appointment and it has always been fine. And i dont need to drink as much as they say, either! Listen to your body :flower:

The dreams are crazy arent they?! Soooo many vivid ones!!
 
Thanks so much Buffy!!! I was actually having anxiety thinking about it!!

The dreams are crazy. I’d like just one night with a peaceful sleep :haha:
 
My OB's office always makes me pee in a cup the second I walk in the office, even if it is right before a scan.
 
I'm 30 and will be 31 when the baby is born. DH and I have been married almost 4 years and I've always had 30 in my head for when I wanted to have a baby.

So far I have zero symptoms. I experience mild cramping every now and then but not much. I was walking down the hall today at work and was actually thinking about how I don't feel pregnant at all. It's weird, I always thought that women just felt different when pregnant. I guess that comes later.

As for urination, I'm dreading that as I already pee 10 times more than the normal person. I wake up at least 3 times a night to pee as it is so I'm terrified to see what happens as this pregnancy progresses.
 
Well I'm not feeling too great about my scan. There was just an empty sac. Dr. didn't seem worried about it, she thinks I'm earlier than I thought I was, but I just don't see how since I got a trigger and an iui. I have another scan scheduled in 2 weeks.
 
6 weeks 3 days is definitely still early. Is that how far you think you are? My fingers are tightly crossed for you Tori :hugs: 2 weeks is a long time to wait for another scan though.
 
That's an eternity! Thanks, I'm trying to stay positive. Dr. said I could be closer to 4 weeks, which I don't think is possible.
 
Even if you are a few days earlier than you thought, that could explain why you saw what you saw. So frustrating & scary being stuck in limbo!! Could you ask to go back in a week?
 
I'm just going to wait for 2 weeks. Hopefully the little bean is hiding. Hubby isn't worried at all and is convinced there will be 2 beans by the next scan. I'm a pessimist and he's an optimist, I'll try to let it rub off on me.
 
I'm praying for you ToriTami :hugs: so sorry they are making you wait two weeks :(

I went to my midwife today, she wanted to feel my stomach then was surprised how far along I felt...so she decided to try with the Doppler to hear the baby but she couldn't find a heart beat. She said I felt 8-9 weeks. I told her I wasn't going to leave without an ultrasound now because I can't handle the anxiety of not knowing if baby has a heartbeat. So now I'm sitting at the ultrasound place waiting to be seen...I'll let y'all know.
 
Oh Tori! My DH is the same. Will be thinking of you :hugs:

Four2five - oh my goodness! Can't wait to hear the news :flower:
 
Looking forward to some good news from everyone! I totally get the frustration of not know your dates. I have an ultrasound in two weeks which will be when I'll finally get a idea of when my due date is because according to my LMP I'd be 7 weeks already, but I'm pretty sure I ovulated late and I've only had mild nausea which makes me think that I'm probably only about 5 weeks.

Anyone else already having super intense dreams? Extremely vivid and occasionally upsetting dreams plagued me last pregnancy. I was hoping they would start later on in the pregnancy, but I'm already having them. :(

I have my first prenatal appt tomorrow morning which is exciting!

Yes! I have been having crazy dreams. I posted a few pages back about a very vivid dream that I had a miscarriage. I woke up freaked out and went to check in the bathroom. I hope it wasn't some sort of sign. I'm thinking it is because I have my scan in 2 days and it is on my mind a lot.

I ovulated a little late as well. By LMP I am around 7+5 weeks pregnant, but I was using OPKs and think I am only about 7 weeks now.

Today was the first day I have really not felt like going to the gym. I was tired and nauseous this morning. I forced myself to go, and Im glad I did. Im feeling much better now :)
