July Sparklers 2016!

[Renee1784]

Hi ladies! So since yesterday I have been having a lot of cramping. Its got me worried. I called my OB and the nurse is checking with her to see if we should do an early US and blood work since my one and only other pregnancy was a tubal. I've also had sore boobs, excessive saliva, and low back pain. Fingers crossed all is ok!

Welcome, 2b4us!

Fingers crossed for good news, Renee!

I got a blood test on base today (totally expecting a urine test so I went in with a full bladder lol). Came back positive . They didn't give me any levels or anything but at least I have this whole process started now. And I have an "official" pregnancy.

Next step is to wait by the phone for them to call me for my referral. Boo to waiting. Other than that, I am feeling pretty crappy. SUPER sleepy, my boobs are very sensitive and the dizziness seems to have gotten worse over night. The nurse did say that my blood pressure was rather low. 106/80something (didn't catch the last number because 106 startled me).

 

[Hollynesss]

106 isn't too bad My blood pressure is consistently 90s/60s. Hooray for a confirmed blood test!!

Hoping everything turns out ok Renee.

Sounds like a great day Boston.

I'm counting the hours until my 1st appt. (The 13th) I've already peed on 5 PT's just to make sure im still pregnant. Who knew I would be paranoid.

Hey y'all. Congrats to all of the new mamas!

I've been away from BnB for a few months, since my baby boy has been keeping me quite busy! We had a rough time trying to get pregnant with my son- after a year of ttc, we experienced 3 early losses in consecutive cycles. It ended up taking fertility meds and progesterone to get and keep one. I then had a very rough pregnancy, spending over a month in the hospital before he was born due to high bp and pre-e. Now, my son is only 10mo, and since I'm still trying to get healthy (gained far too much weight on bed rest and after almost dying in delivery), so we've been preventing.
About a week and a half ago, we had 1 careless night. Last night, I felt an odd but familiar stretching pain... so today I checked and I had a very faint second line.
I'm a bit in shock, and not sure what to think about it. I mean, it'll definitely be a good thing if it works out- I just have a hard time seeing it as real after all of the issues last time! I'm also a bit nervous about my health (as is DH)...

But- if this one hangs on, EDD is around 7/16/16! Whoops!

 

[Trr]

Hoping I can jump in here too!
Got my BFP yesterday. My hpt was darker today but I have been bleeding a little bit.
Hoping for the best but don't know if I will be here long.

Only 3weeks 3days so I'm due July 16. If it sticks.

I'm a first timer so anyone had bleeding and ended up with a sticky bean?

 

[jalilma]

Apparently 230am is a great time for morning sickness... Pregnancy hormones for the win!
Trr... I did with my last Pregnancy right around period time and have a daughter who will be turning 11 the end of the month. It's very VERY normal to spot and sometimes even bleed during early pregnancy. Fingers crossed.

Morning all, so I was planning to get a reassurance scan done at 8 weeks but am now thinking I may bring it forward to 7 weeks. Do you think that's too early? I'd prob get another one done at 10 weeks as well. I'm just worried that as my 12 week falls on Boxing Day and that my NHS scan may not be until the new year and I'm not sure I could wait that long!!!

 

[SCgirl]

Not sure how long I'll be around- tried FRER again this morning (what I used yesterday), and no line. But a line showed up on first signal and clearblue... Last time FRER was the super sensitive one- have they changed?

Is it the new FRER? With the curved handle? I know a lot of people have been experiencing real issues with those.

Me: I woke up this morning not feeling pregnant anymore. My boobs aren't as sore and the stretching in my lower abdomen isn't there as much. Should I be worried?

 

[SCgirl]

Yeah, it's the new one!

As far as symptoms go, they would come and go both in the pregnancies I lost, and in the one that made it! Kid you not- I was still looking for blood every time I went to the ladies room in the 3rd trimester! Pregnancy can just be crazy

This is my first and I have gone completely crazy and paranoid. I'm hoping I'll feel better after my doctors appt. on the 13th.

FX for you that everything is still going well

 

[jjbuttons]

still waiting for midwife to call to arrange 1st appointment- had to fill a referal in online and they said will call back within 5 days (wasnt in yesterday) nothing so far (8-4 are there hours) and at work thursday/friday :s didnt give mobile as cant remember it

wish they phone urgh impatient (prob hormones) and really dont want to go back to work tomorrow- its so stressful but will defo sit down more (as normally keep on my feet the whole time- no more rushing around for me!)

hows everyone else???

 

[Babylove100]

Phew, just got my progesterone blood test results back and all okay with no further action required!

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

Hello ladies! Was so excited to see this group Can I join?

I'm due on July 12th. This is my second.

Crazy to be doing all this again... much more excited and less cautious this time around. (But still cautious as hell of course.)

Hope we're all good today!
xx

 

[luvmyfam]

Hi everyone :wave:! Im so excited to join you all! I'mdue July 14th with my 3rd!

I just realized there was a July Group! Thank you Holly for starting it. Huge congrats on your little one on board after trying so long

 

[BostonLover89]

TTCbabyG2015- how exciting that you get to go in relatively soon! The clinic nurse on base told me that once I get my referral I should call right away so I could try to get in by the 20th which would be 8 weeks for me.

Do you ladies usually bring DH along for the first appointment (this is my first)??? He said he would want to go, especially if they will be doing a scan or listening for a heartbeat, which I assume they would if I am between 7-8 weeks. I don't really know what to expect.

I am definitely getting sick or something. I am having sinus issues and an awful sinus headache! Sleep last night was rough. I know there are a ton of things you shouldn't take while pregnant, but I feel so crappy I am almost in tears.

 

[SCgirl]

It depends when the first appt is. I went in super early for blood tests, but knew they would do an ultrasound at 6w1d (we saw a heartbeat that liked like a flashing pixel on a grain of rice). DH came for that and was in the room when they went ahead and gave me a pap... He came for all of he other visits with ultrasounds - not for the brief checks. (We had ultrasounds at 6w because of previous losses, 8wk, 12wk nt scan, 16 week gender scan, 20 wk anatomy... As i started to have issues later on I had additional scans)

Yea, as silly as it sounds I wish it was sooner. I'm at the point where I just need to know if everything is ok, if my levels are where they should be and if the baby is actually in there. 1 week 2 days...here's the hoping I can hold out lol

Btw...awesome to see some familiar faces
