June 2013 first time bump buddies wanted

[pinkwaters]

Hey Whatshername - Yaaay so exciting! Don't be nervous its great fun I hope you have a great scan! Looking forward to your picture and updates

Welcome onboard Catchbabydust and Congrats!! My morning sickness is almost gone, light spikes here and there but I've lost appetite recently and just tired tired tired thankfully no headaches anymore! Glad your ms is gone!

Congrats 27 and Nodoubt on the 12 week mark!!
I had sharp stretching pains last night too but they only lasted a few seconds

Anyone have good reads to reccomend? I want to start reading anything besides nutrition

 

[27yrsTTC]

Best book ever, mostly comical, "Expect the Unexpected When You're Expecting!" By Eunice Glick etc. unbelievably funny. I found the real what to expect book kind of depressing, a lot of " this is everything that could potentially go wrong ever with your child." I'm paranoid enough, thank you.

SO excited to make the 12 week mark. And every week mark.

 

[27yrsTTC]

No Doubt- round ligament pain is just a fancy way of saying ouch, my muscles in my belly are stretching out of proportion. They pinch a tug a little on me, but it's not really pain persay. It doesn't hurt enough that I'm worried about it at all, I can just tell the muscles are doing something weird.

 

[CatchBabyDust]

congrats to the ladies entering the 12 weeks mark...Just entered thankfuly entered the 9th week!! MS is back btw..couldnt sleep last night..almost vomited 3 times ...but today im better..next scan is 3 weeks from now..and i am anxiously waiting and praying...
27yrs- true about "expect what ur expecting" Im paranoid enough as well lol

been reading stuff from babyzone.com..and they have some really good stuff there..

 

[pinkwaters]

I only have Up the Duff - Caz Cooke (Aussie Book)
Very funny it's like a personal diary of events and bits and pieces of info but I want more detail I believe
I'll amazon search Expect the Unexpected When You're Expecting! Thanks for the recommendation!

No Major changes with me, just tired of being tired but pushing through, I sort of give myself a pat on the back for showing up for work every morning ;P

 

[No Doubt]

Lol. I hear you pink. I took a four hour nap on Saturday just so I could get to church Saturday night! But I made it. Then I had this brilliant idea to go out to eat afterward...I was tired as soon as we sat down, lol.

haha I get that too, It's like a random energy spike and you're all up for it, 2 seconds later you regret moving from the couch

I actually got dressed to go out last night, I got to the car, imagined the streets would be crowded, and went back upstairs to sleep

I dozed off I forgot to skype hubby I saw his msgs in the morning and felt really bad, we promised we'd do catch ups every night

 

[pinkwaters]

I don't know if it was a dream ( was in deep sleep last night ) or if it was real but I recall waking up and my heart beating way too fast that it freaked me out...But I went back to sleep

Weird - Maybe it's just all the extra blood the body is producing?

 

[Ylanda]

Hey all, sorry been away busy for a while. Good to read you're all pushing through the ups and downs of early pregnancy. I'm feeeling miles better, sickness is reducing and my appetite is returning to normal - thank goodness! Still tired though but I've started taking iron so fxed my energy comes back soon!

 

[No Doubt]

Ylanda I'm so happy that things are going better for you. I want everyone to enjoy this experience and I know it was a bit of a rough start for you. Glad you are settling in! I think the morning sickness can do a lot of people in to be honest, but you are past that it does get better. You kind of feel like you can handle whatever. My back had been hurting for the past 3 weeks, but I'd still take this over the morning sickness, lol.

 

[pinkwaters]

Hey Ylanda!

Glad you're feeling better!! I hope you get a beautiful energy spike soon
I'm sure we're all going to be feeling great closer and during second trimester

How are your diets now that MS is starting to lift?

I've been eating apples, bananas and bell peppers everyday this week, but struggling with protein. This morning I had the worst breakfast, I stopped by starbucks and got myself a double chocolate muffin with a caramel frap I couldn't even finish either, silly me. Forcing myself to have a small glass of cold milk everyday too

 

[No Doubt]

The diets ok, could use a little help in the veggie dept but I got some veggies to snack on work. Other than that it's ok.

 

[Ylanda]

My diet is ok I think. I eat a lot more fruit than veg, so as you guys I could do with a bit more on that front. But I try and be good and give little AJ (that's what we're calling the little one now, it's the first letters of our chosen boy's and girl's names) everything he/she needs. I'm also taking vitamins and iron, though, just to be double sure we both get what we need.

We had sex for the first time since we've known that I'm preggo last night. We had a bit of trouble re positions, though. This might be tmi for some, apologies! We went for missionary as it's generally easiest to "get going" that way, especially as I wasn't very wet at all last night, and as it gives Paul the most control as to how deep he wants to go in. But, because my boobs have grown so much and because my nipples are so sensitive, he had to plank over me the entire time as I was in pain as soon as his chest even just brushed my nipples. So, what other positions work best for you ladies? I can't face being on top atm as I don't want to see my massive belly (not a bump yet, just the result of my food cravings over the past few weeks) and I think doggy style would also hurt my boobs as they would either swing back and forth or I would lay on them... Any advice much appreciated!

 

[No Doubt]

Ylanda I will lay on my back and hubbs will lay on his side and I drape my legs over hubbs thighs or in between his legs. You could also do both of you on your sides, kind of like doggy just laying on your sides. Hubbs can control both of those positions. Hubbs can't lay on me cause of Thumper anymore so missionary is out for us. Hope these help!

 

[CatchBabyDust]

sorry for this tmi question...I went out today (i wish i hadnt) but i went to a gathering early in the morning...then went home at about 2pm .. quoting my friend "I LOOKED TERRIBLY SICK"..i was tired (she doesnt know im pregnant) so i was nauseated all the time and had to suppress all the gags and attempts to vomit..anywho, got home had really bad "Gas cramps" for hours...i was constipated cause i couldnt go...however later..i had reallyyyy bad diarrhea ..? i've been having Constipation for 2 days then diarrhea? Im not sure if i ate something bad in the morning...but wouldnt it take like a whole day to even show? My stomach was hurting like when u get stomach bug..I know i'll sound stupid but im worried something is wrong?! Maybe the baby isnt getting enough nutrition?

 

[No Doubt]

Don't worry catch. And no tmi here. This is new for all of us.

Baby is fine. Even when you aren't eating enough tour baby will take from you and what you have stored so don't worry about that. As for the diarrhea, that happened to me a few weeks back. I was constipated and then bad gas pains and I thought it was just gas, but it wasn't. If you ate something and it was food poisoning or something you would be feeling way worse. Your body is still adjusting to the hormones and this very well could just be the case. My doc has told me when I've had episodes before I was pregnant that there are several different hormones in the stomach that will sometimes to a little haywire and out of nowhere you have a million different flew like symptoms, or just a few, and then as soon as your body stabilizes you feel better. All in a matter of minutes. So I think the fact that you haven't been feeling bad is a good thing and you just had an upset stomach your hormone adjustment. But your baby is fine so don't fret.

 

[CatchBabyDust]

thank u very much for ur answer .. Im just at my worst now waiting for my 12 weeks scan in 20 days so im kinda relating everything to the baby! ..Hopefully all will be fine

 

[No Doubt]

I completely understand. I'm the same way. That's one if the reasons I bought a Doppler. I know some people use it everyday, but I only use it if I feel weird or an odd pain. Once I hear Thumpers heart beat I'm good. I'm sure everything is fine with your baby!

 

[Ylanda]

CatchBabyDust, some more re-assurance from my end, my stomach is all over the place, I go from constipated to diarrhea in the space of a few hours, even though I try and eat sensible amounts of fibre. I keep telling myself that I would know if something was wrong with AJ - I'm just trying to trust my body to give the little one all it needs!

to you!

 

[27yrsTTC]

My guts have been doing that off and on for weeks, Catch. I recently started getting the dreaded heartburn, too, which feels like the stabbing gas pains but in my chest! Oh baby, how I love you.
I have literally not wanted sex in 12 weeks. At all. Like, do not touch me, that feels awkward and is doing nothing. Poor wife. I'm starting to feel the old feelings coming back though, so I have high hopes for the second trimester!! I feel like a terrible spouse. It's kind of an amusing role reversal for us though, it was usually me who was begging for date night before lol.
Doc appt tomorrow with OB for bloodwork and glucose??? It's really early for a glucose test which is kind of making me nervous because I wonder why she's screening me early..??
Feeling good otherwise. And it's nice that everyone knows now!
