June 2013 first time bump buddies wanted

[27yrsTTC]

Oh my God, the smell of seafood in Safeway today just about did me in. I still thrown out, but it got awful close. So of course, I was almost in tears as I left. Sheesh. I felt better after a supper tonight, I think I slept in too late this morning and didn't have enough food in my tummy.

 

[27yrsTTC]

Food of the day: mashed potatoes and creamed corn.

Welcome onboard Mouse & Kyla!!!
Thanks for your well wishes everyone!
I only just managed to get back to work, ms really had me on a spin!
I feel much better now but still very picky on what to eat and not, I keep my nose shut almost all the time juuust incase

Have a wedding to attend on Thursday, don't know how I'm going to drag myself to that one!

My sex drive has been very weird, I want to have sex but when HB is up for it I almost want to ask him to stop No pain or anything, it just doesn't feel the same

How did the halloween scans go?

Can't wait for mine next Monday

 

[No Doubt]

Glad you're feeling better pink. I've had that experience with hubbs too. I feel bad cause he thinks he's done something wrong and he hasn't, but just that quick my emotions change. He's understanding though. Im sure your hubbs understands too. Scan is tomorrow. Nervous, but still excited.

27, what a food choice. I'm not big on masked potatoes or creamed corn. That actually just made ny stomach churn, lol. I could handle the potatoes, but the corn, blah. My mom used to make that growing up and I just couldn't handle trying to swallow it down. Yep, you're definitely preggo, lol.

Hi ladies, sorry for not being around much recently, been on holiday.

I'm not having many symptoms at all, apart from my boobs going up about one cup size in the space of a few days. My tummy feels funny but I don't actually feel sick (touch wood), I just need to eat regularly.

Emotionally, I feel a bit fed up with it all today. Even though the baby is still sooooo tiny it has already forced me to give up many things I love (soft and blue cheese, coffee, alcohol, rowing) and has started changing my life already within the 10 short days since I got that bfp. It's slowly starting to hit home that nothing will be the same ever again and that my life really is changing. I wonder if I've been kidding myself - maybe I'm not ready for a baby after all?! I refuse to believe that, I hope this is just an adjustment phase until I've "found myself" in this new situation...

Sorry for the essay!

 

[No Doubt]

I know it's hard now, but it will pass. Yes its true a baby means your life is no longer your own and sure you have yo give up a lot, but you don't have to give up everything forever. Just keep telling yourself its all worth it.

Thhankyou
I felt so bad because we haven't done the deed in a while due to IVF procedures but ya he was very understanding, he was worried he'd hurt the baby the whole time too haha

Yay on your scan! Can't wait for updates

Hey Ylanda
I hope ms stays away from you! Nasty thing!

Your body is going through so many changes now and hormones are just flying all over the place which magnifies every single feeling you have. I know how you feel, I've wanted a baby for so long but soon as it happens you start thinking of all the things you can't do now.

I want to workout but I'm too scared, I've stopped eversince I started IVF and now I just feel its too risky but I Keep telling myself that once the baby is here it'll bring so much joy to our lives and I can start picking up on my old habits eventually and it'll all feel great!

Remember this is very temporary and very much worth it! Don't let the nasty hormones get you (said the girl who was crying last night for no reason what so ever haha) they are nasty buggers!

Lots of love

 

[Ylanda]

Thank you Pink!

I hope this passes, I really hate feeling like this, I want to be happy and excited. But I'm just not. I'm hungry all the time and have to eat but I don't want to because I can't exercise like I used to so I'm worried I'll get fat. I can't be bothered talking to my mum or MIL about the pregnancy/baby even though I know they're just being nice and want to help and be involved. All I want right now is my life back... This really isn't how I expected to feel after getting that BFP. ;(

Anyway, I appreciate your support ladies, and hope you're all feeling well!

 

[No Doubt]

Trust me you're not the only one that feels that way sometimes. I was just complaining to the hubbs about not being able to eat certain things and then having to be picky with the parts I can eat. Its such a chore that sometimes I just push the food away and go for a snack. Can't go wrong with chips or price of fruit. I miss my wine something terrible, especially when I'm having my emotional times. It hurt my heart to give almost a full bottle away the other day, lol. I know it's hard, but I think you will start to feel differently over time.

 

[Ylanda]

Thanks, No Doubt! I'm already feeling a bit better this evening, might have something to do with the fact that I was finally able to go to the loo today - sorry tmi! So my tummy isn't in quite as much turmoil anymore which is already helping loads!

 

[No Doubt]

No tmi at all. I completely understand. I was excited about being able to go when that was happening to me. I would tell my hubbs...finally went to the bathroom... He would just say, that's good honey, lol. That can totally put a damper on things for you.

 

[Ylanda]

Haha, I told my hubbs as well! He gave me the "omg I married a real lady"-type response - he really is as sympathetic as a brick! He's great really!

Just had a big dinner, skyped with my lil bro, and will now head for a nice long shower and then curl up in front of the telly for the rest of the night!

[27yrsTTC]

Welcome Pam! June 23rd is our first anniversary

Ultrasound today, very,very Very nervous. I don't know why other than I've been reading too many damn forums. Sticking to our group now.

In the first 6 weeks or so I would swap out my prenatal vitamin for a regular multivitamin once in a while to help with the bathroom situation. But my body seems to have settled in now and I'm back to my usual habits. I was worried I would be constipated for 9 months, maybe it gets worse again later?

Speaking of booze, I've never been a big drinker, but we often make a fancy drink with dinner. A paralyzed, or a mojito... Even wine. I didn't realize i was missing it until I came across an awesome book from the library, "the Newly Non-Drinking Girl's Guide to Pregnancy" which I'm pretty sure was written for alcoholics, but nonetheless has 50 awesome mocktail recipes. I woke my wife up at 7 am yesterday and told her she HAD to make me the coffee syrup while I was at work. It serves as fake Kahlua and we had "paralyzers" last night!!! Made me feel a little normal again.

Renewed my swimming pass, going back to lane swimming and hopefully prenatal aquasize. Also very worried about getting fat.
