July Sparklers 2016!

[jjbuttons]

Midwife app went ok bit rushed and she didn't have my blood results but getting them tomorrow as she said to go by and get referred to Breast clinc about lump as it's not a blocked duct and could be cyst that's infected

Urgh feel low today not sure why

 

[karry1412]

Abi - That's great! You must be so relieved!

WantsALittle1 - If I call I'll get through to the ER &, having called them multiple times in the past (including one instance which ended up in me being hospitalised in another hospital) I know they'll just tell me to rest. The public department can be a bit useless. Luckily our insurance will (mostly) cover us to go to the private department but my first appointment there isn't until a week from tomorrow My mind won't be at ease until I get my first scan but I did spot during my last pregnancy & my little boy is currently here beside me so hopefully all will be good this time too.

jjbuttons - Hope you get your cyst sorted soon

 

[Abi 2012]

I am fairly freaked out because I had some spotting last night. It seemed to be quite a bit but in reality it probably wasn't that much really & it was light pink & watery (sorry!). I'm so hoping everything is ok. I haven't had any since. I've also been sick twice since (once last night & once this morning) so hopefully that's a sign that the hormones are still rising & everything is ok

Honey go to your docs they should arrange a scan bleeding no matter how big or small should be atleast discussed with a doc for your own price of mind xxx

 

[Hollynesss]

Karry- I hope everything is okay!

JJbuttons- That sounds painful, I hope they get it sorted out soon!

Abi- Great news! Glad to have you with us

What is everyone's plans for Thanksgiving? (those in the US that is!) Anyone planning on telling family on that day? I really want to tell my husband's family, as we are hosting Thanksgiving this year and I think it would be a perfect time, but he really wants to wait until after our first ultrasound.

 

[ehjmorris]

You are definitely brave for being able to wait, im impatient with things like that... do any of you plan on using a doppler? I cant wait to start hearing the hb

 

[TTCBabyG2015]

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is doing well.

Had a bit of a rough weekend and so far a rough Monday. Me and BF have been looking for a new place to live for quite a while now and after viewing a place on Thursday, we were told on Friday that it was ours if we wanted it, it was ours. We got so excited and started making arrangements, we were going to meet with the landlord today to hand over the security deposit but, we got a call on Sunday from landlord telling us we can't have it anymore. He gave some real BS excuses too. Me and BF basically argued all day yesterday over the silliest stuff and I'm sure it's all because of this stupid moving stress. I just want to be in a place and get it ready for baby.

I have another U/S scheduled for Wednesday so they can check for the HB. This is also stressing me out thinking that there won't be one. And then today at work one of the VERY jealous girls I work with made a comment about how I'm the only pregnant girl she knows that goes to the doctors "a million times." Trying not to lose my cool, I just said that I've been once and as I was going to explain that I have an U/S this week and then Dr. next week (because of the holiday) but then I realized I'm only the 2nd girl she knows that's pregnant and I don't need to explain anything to her.

Sorry for the vent ladies, I just needed to get it out

 

[Hollynesss]

Waiting is not easy!!! I want to shout it from the rooftops! I'm trying to respect my husband's wishes though We're telling my family immediately after the ultrasound next Wednesday

TTCBabyG, I hate ignorant comments like that! Just wait until she gets pregnant and wants to see baby as often as possible. Not only that, but how does she know you don't have any complications? That's a really rude thing to say to a pregnant woman without knowing the full story.

 

[Cowgirl07]

I find that extremely rude, I've been to my ob twice, the er once and go to my re tomorrow.

 

[Miss Bellum]

I'm so fed up of the insomnia which seems to have kicked in super early. I keep waking at 2 or 3 and cant get back to sleep. Not helping with the overall tiredness.

Karry - Can't blame you for feeling worried. Hopefully its just a one off and everything will be fine.

Welcome Frangi33, hope this is your sticky bean

Abi2012 - Fantastic news, so happy for you

Jjbutons - Gald the appointment went well.. Hope you are feeling better tomorrow.

Hollyness - No thanksgiving here, but likely to start telling family next week. Mainly as we happen to be visiting AnonMale's family and will be nice to tell them in person. I can understand why your husband would want to wait though.

Ehjmorris - I've never used a doppler, think it would freak me out too much if I couldn’t find a hb. Hope it works well for you.

TTCbaby - what a rough day. Its really tough trying to find somewhere to live and even worse when you have lo on the way. Hope you can find somewhere soon. Your co-worker seems a pretty unpleasant lady. I’d just ignore her if you can.

 

[TTCBabyG2015]

Thank you ladies. I try my best to ignore her but, hormones get the best of me sometimes. I appreciate your comments though.

 

[luvmyfam]

Welcome frangi33!! And congrats!

Abi that's awesome you got to see your little bean and heartbeat!!

JJbuttons hopefully they can get the lump figured out soon!

Holly, we are planning on telling my MIL on her birthday on the 28th so that hopefully she can babysit DS2 during the US. Then if all is ok at the scan we are going to tell my Mom and family when we go out for her birthday dinner on the 5th!

TTCbaby, that's horrible! I can't believe she said that to you! And I can't believe the landlord took that place out from underneath you!

 

[SCgirl]

this is a neat page to see what your baby looks like early on- but remember- it's days from fertilization so 4 weeks would only be 14 days, 5 weeks pregnant = 21 days, etc.

This is where I'd be at 6w2d...

Looks like a little seahorse

 

[WantsALittle1]

Ugh TTCBabyG sorry to hear about the apartment AND that jealous person at your work who is giving unsolicited opinion on your approach to prenatal care. You go to the doctors as much as you want--it's your body, your child, and her opinion matters exactly 0% Perhaps she is battling fertility issues and can't put her own issues aside to be happy for someone. I hope that she finds a path to peace so she doesn't continue to rain on others' parade.

 

[babydustcass]

Ugh ttc baby sorry about the apartment but I'm sure you'll go on to find something else even better. The wait is horrible but there is always something better out there waiting for you.
Sorry to hear judgey comments from someone who probably has no idea what it means to be pregnant. Sounds like jealousy to me! Ignore her

Afm 5 weeks today, really sore Nipples lol and so spotty I feel like a teenager again. Aside from that I am feeling lucky to feel well and unplagued by Ms, there is still time although I hope it holds off as the time has finally come for our lapland holiday next week. We leave on Sunday and are back Friday night, the kids don't know yet and we are telling them on the morning we leave. Father Christmas here we come! Eeek

 

[HarboroughMum]

My stomach is so swollen I look 6 months pregnant! Plus my jeans are tight round my stomach. No weight been put on though thank god!

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

Hi girls,

TTC, with our first, I was pregnant and we were house hunting and were let down on so many occasions like that. It's so disappointing but by the time baby arrives, you'll be happy and settled in a lovely new place. Just as we were. (And if it makes you feel better, we lost an ideal place when I was 35 weeks! By 38, we were in somewhere!) it'll all work out.
And that woman sounds exceptionally jealous! Ignore her completely. She probably just wishes it was her not you.
People can be so funny about pregnancy.

Harborough, my stomach is also swollen and my lower abdomen feels firmer and more jutty outty.
My nausea hasn't been as intense the last couple of days. It's still there, all day, but I think the sea bands are helping. I've had them on since Saturday and only take them off to shower. Not sure if they're helping or it's just a coincidence but I'm not risking taking them off. It's been a relief to be able to eat a little more though. A new symptom is breathlessness and feeling short of breath. Google tells me it's normal. Not pleasant though. And oh god my moods! I am so grumpy and snappy with everyone. Even people in supermarkets pee me off, and I'm never usually like that. I am basically just walking about like a grumpy zombie gagging and whinging in stretchy pyjamas when I'm not sleeping the days away. Cleaning and cooking? Forget it. Poor DS and DH
In other news, 18 days until our scan. I am so excited.

 

[TTC74]

Well, I finally tossed my cookies last night for the first time. Plus, I think I'm coming down with a cold.

6 days until my 1st scan!

 

[karry1412]

TTCBabyG2015 - That really sucks about the house. Especially since you weren't given a legitimate reason. But it obviously wasn't meant to be & somewhere even better will come along soon. And try ignore your colleague! She sounds like a piece of work.

babydustcass - I could not be any more jealous!! Hope you enjoy every second of your holiday!

 

[karry1412]

Well, I had more spotting again last night so decided to call the hospital. I was 99% sure they'd tell me to just wait it out but they told me to come in! So of course I immediately started worrying even more. My parents live next door so they came over to look after my toddler & we went straight to the hospital. After waiting nearly four hours we eventually got seen by a doctor & he did an ultrasound & we got to see our little baby!! He or she is exactly where they should be & the little heart was pumping! So relieved! And only a week until we get to see him/her again!
