June 2013 first time bump buddies wanted

[27yrsTTC]

I pretty much eat what I can, when I can. Had ham and scalloped potatoes last night, ham didn't look fantastic to me, so I ate more potatoes and beans. Depends on the day!

 

[pinkwaters]

Pink, I don't see anything wrong with that diet, lol. Yesterday I binged on Italian. I made spaghetti. I do Mariana and Alfredo with crumbled up Italian sausage. Yum. I realized I forgot the garlic bread when I ate so I had to set that straight and made a couple of prices, heated up some sauce and that was dinner, lol.

I felt so bad for all the chocolate! haha mmmmm Italian sounds so tempting! Its weird this nausea thing, one moment your off all foods the next you want everything and anything haha, My dinner tonight is very healthy though, Quinoa with tomatoes, zucchini, carrots, some onion and garlic, some unsalted soy sauce, some lime and chilli .... yes I'm starving!!

How super exciting you got to your first scan

I'm definetly with you on the raging then disapearing appetite! Driving me crazy! Getting used to the heavy sore boobs and sore nipples (TMI)
I have a huge bloat too I find it weird, hiding it already Some of my pants I leave open i feel it would hurt my seseme seed sized baby ;P (crazy I know)

H&H 9 months to come!

 

[No Doubt]

I'm like that too. Get the belly band. Works wonders! I also got some pant extenders. You just snap then in where you'd normally button your pants and you got a few extra inches.

I saw those on amazon! I think I'll order one after my scan!

 

[pinkwaters]

Had my first scan!

Measuring at 6 weeks 1 day, 1 lovely bean
The heart beat was there but hard to hear, the doctor could detect it though and all seems fine so far!
There was a second embryo in there but much much smaller and my doctor seemed to think it will either bleed out lightly or the body will re absorb it as it hasn't grown

I'm super happy with my one bean & praying it stays healthy and strong!

 

[No Doubt]

Wonderful news hun! Sorry to hear about your other little beanie, but glad that you are pleased with the results!

No news about me, other than in so jealous that you guys have had your scans already, lol. Still wishing I had more sleep. The nausea is backing off a bit and I've finally given up on trying to "suck it in". I used the pant extender today, thank goodness for that cause yesterday these pants were not my friend. Had to change before coming to work, lol. Its like if it's not one symptom its another, but I'm taking it all in stride and letting it be a reminder that what I've wanted for so long is finally happening.

Thank you dear!
Awww I look forward to your scan update!!
I bet the pant extender would be a miracle worker for me right now, I keep wearing longer tops and have my buttons undone haha
My nausea kicked in fully last night! I felt like I was on a plane all night
but like you said, as bad as it is it reminds me that I made it here and that I'm truly grateful!
Other than the nausea, I got used to the sore heavy boobs and bloated belly really.
Nibbled on some fruits this morning, it was all I could bear for breakfast

 

[No Doubt]

Yeah, I broke the pant extenders today, lol. My nausea for the most part has lifted. Still peeing a lot and my boobs are still tender. A stream of water hit my nipple in the shower this morning and I wanted to punch the water in the face. Needless to say, it hurt...a lot.

lol maybe I should just give up and buy bigger pants now that you say that
I find my nausea hits hard at night! I wake up thinking oh great its gone! By mid day it starts to peep around
My Pee (TMI) became much darker than before too even though I drink water all day to avoid nausea
I definetly need to go shopping soon ... bigger pants and bigger bra's!!

 

[No Doubt]

Oh wait, I meant to say broke out the pant extenders. I only needed that extra inch and they worked like a charm. Geesh, if I would have broken them I would have out myself on a hardcore diet, lol. Yeah, I'm getting to the bigger bra phase. Still peeing like ita going out of style, lol.

T-13days til scan day. I'm nervous, but excited. Just have to trust God.

 

[pinkwaters]

Oh my, I think my brain really is elsewhere!!
Everything will be great don't let worry ruin the fun of being pregnant for you (said the woman who was nervous as sh** before her scan) haha
My second scan will be in 19 days - ish that sounds so far away!

Time - FLY!

Congrats on the healthy little bean, pinkwaters. I am sorry to hear about the other one,

I have a lot of side zip pants, which is why I haven't tried the extenders. Still in love with the belly bands. Yesterday was the first day some of the bloat was down, but it came back throughout the day.

Sometimes I forget I'm pregnant, if I'm busy at work, etc. Or I wake up wondering if it was a dream. And then I roll onto my boobs and go, nope, not a dream. Ouch.

I have an appointment in 6 days with my regular ob/gyn so that she can take over my care next month. Ultrasound on Halloween with the fertility specialist (9 weeks then!).

I'm liking blender drinks in the morning. Seems frozen drinks sit well with my empty tummy. Going to make a strawberry / orange smoothie today and try some toast!

@NoDoubt- I had a bath yesterday morning for exactly that reason. The shower seems like torture some days.

 

[27yrsTTC]

Has anyone actually thrown up?
I have not. I'm feeling very lucky, but still sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop...

 

[No Doubt]

I will be 9 weeks exactly on Halloween 27! Be careful with the baths...not to hot. My doc said hot tubs, whirl pools, etc cause of the heat.

I haven't thrown up, but the morning sickness today is kicking my but. A lot of dry heaves and really bad nausea. I actually just sat and cried for a second, hormones I guess. I'm just not used to being sick like this is all. If I get sick its a cold, worst case scenario its the other end, so throwing up or even just dry heaves take their toll on me.

 

[27yrsTTC]

I've heard that as well, about the bath. I've been using a digital thermometer to check the temperature. Just the kind that goes in your mouth. I make sure that the temperature isn't over 100° usually 98. I really don't seem to have much of an appetite the last few days.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been teary. I understand. I have weird moments as well. I think I've been pretty good though, considering I'm usually a very emotional person. Don't let it worry you. From what I understand that's very, very normal.

Thank you 27!
Yea it really only takes touching your boobs for it all to click in, I can't sleep on my tummy at all already and that's my most comfortable position

I can't seem to have any breakfast ;s Haven't thrownn up (thank god) but extremely nauseous I feel my head won't stop spinning and just imagining food makes me want to cry.
I actually cried a little on my way to work just because I felt so tired ;s Hormones Hormones
Changed my vitamin brand today as well, pregnaplan was making me even more nauseous as soon as I take it!!

 

[pinkwaters]

Good luck on your halloween scans ladies! Very exciting

 

[Ylanda]

Ladies, may I join?! I got my BFP today, estimated due date is 29th June 2013.

Still in shock, it hasn't really sunk in yet...

 

[No Doubt]

Congrats ylanda and welcome! It still feels surreal to me too. I remember calling my doctors office saying "I got a positive pregnancy test yesterday" like had found it in the street, lol, not "I just found out I'm pregnant". Its sinking in as the symptoms come and go and get worse and better though.

Pink sleeping on my stomach is a bit of pain right now too. My pregnancy tracker says that this week the uterus is expanding more and has thickened considerably. I think this may be the reason why. First thing I bought was a body pillow. Works wonders for me trying to get comfy and sleep on my side.
