Lil' October Pumpkins 2013

[Junebugs]

Yay! I think I'm gonna need help waiting it out. I was so scared when I booked both mine in case anything happens. Just can't wait to see my little pumpkin!!

I know!! I cant wait either! I just wanted to make sure i wasnt so early in booking it because i would like to be able to see a little HB. I should be just over 7 weeks then so i am thinking I should be able to see it by then

 

[Girly922]

That's what I'm hoping. I think most people see the hb at 7weeks as long as its an internal scan. Little scared about that bit. Lol.

my last pregnancy i saw it at 6.5 weeks so i am thinking i am good with that date

I have accomplished absolutely nothing the last two days, except 2 loads of laundry. I had to force myself to fold them and even then I had to take a break in the middle of each load and ( I am really ashamed to admit this) I didn't even fold my clothes. I just balled them up ad threw them in the back of the closet where OH wouldn't see them.

I love OH so much and he is so good to me, but he totally doesn't understand any of this, I don't think. He is starting to make little cracks like "are you out of bed yet" at 12:30 in the afternoon when he wants me to bring him some lunch. I can't tell if he is trying to be cute, or snotty because I AM NOT out of bed and am usually just being yanked out of a deep sleep when he calls....and I am an emotional basketcase.

I think that he thinks that just because I am not big yet that there should be no difference in what usually happens around here and I think he thinks I am just using this as an excuse to slack off. All I want is the energy to do what I normally do, but between normal being pregnant and the fact that I can't hold anything down half the time and can't even force myself to eat the other half of the time, I am too tired to even shower.

I know things could be so much worse, but this all started the Friday before my BFP. The exhausted, the puking, all of it. And at that point, I would have only been 3 weeks pregnant. I don't even think that I should have had symptoms yet, but I could sure smell everything and felt that I was. Tomorrow I am 6 weeks and I can't imagine how I am going to function.

On that note, I am going back to bed. I have only slept about 10 of the 12 hours he has been at work today.

I saw a heart beat at 7 weeks and it wasn't done internally.

MirandaH- Sorry you are dealing with all that, it can be hard for guys to understand. Maybe you can try to find a guide to pregnancy for dads?

Ugh, I keep *wanting* to eat stuff... and its good for a little while. Then an hour later I feel so sick Somehow the cravings and my stomach are not agreeing with each other!

 

[Vanillabean01]

So, I am having night sickness...l I get nauseous around 8pm every night. I'll take that over all day sickness any day!!

I also had a funny craving today!! Hotdogs wrapped in pilsbury crescent rolls!!! Oh man it was better tasting than I could have hoped.. Lol

Weird!!!

Anyone else craving anything funny??

 

[goddess25]

Just craving anything savoury and salty.

I saw my bean @ 6+4 with HB. It was an internal scan as my bladder wasnt full enough.

 

[ece77]

@Murmers0110: Great to have a bumpbuddy! This way it seems much more real somehow

My first appointment is booked March 2nd. I'll be 6+5 by then. Hope we'll be lucky enough to see the HB

Regarding my symptoms, I'm having mild cramping (I'm sure they're mild, since my period cramps have been way worse since adolescence); cold cold feet (wearing like 4 layers of socks right now); very dry hands (look like a reptile); and occasional brown discharge which drives me crazy. I'm reading everywhere that brown is old blood and nothing to fear, but still, I don't know how I'll keep my sanity until I see the OB!

Oddly enough my appetite is decreased; I have very mild nausea; and my boobs are "just a little" sore!

So, I keep looking at my peesticks just to prove myself that I am really and actually pregnant

 

[Lindss]

So I went for my first ob visit on Tuesday. Everything went great. I was told I was in my 5th week. It was too early to do a scan. She did do a pelvic exam. Everything looked great. Seems to be just one baby! Shew! I was on clomid do I was nervous about that and told her. I have a scan in 2weeks so we will find out more then. She was not concerned with the spotting. She literally said "I'm ok with it". That's great news! I got all my blood work back today and dr said everything looks great!

Yay! Im so happy for you that everythings perfect with your lil apple seed!!

 

[Lindss]

That's what I'm hoping. I think most people see the hb at 7weeks as long as its an internal scan. Little scared about that bit. Lol.

I had an ultrasound at 6wks 5 days, and they were able to see the heartbeat, and it wasnt an internal. So I think that your chances are extreemly good to see a heartbeat by 7 weeks! xx

The only food that I am craving, and able to actually eat without gagging, is grapefruit with brwn sugar...like 3 a day....its so weird...i normally hate them!!

 

[Lindss]

Sorry for the abundance of posts, but had too catch up from yesterday.....Has anyone ever been on Diclectin for nausea in pregnancy? My midwife perscribed it for me yesterday, and i havent taken it yet.....

 

[momof1making2]

Count yourselves lucky with symptoms. I don't have many at all I'm moody and forgetful, that's it! I keep wanting to poas to make sure my little bean is still in there :/

Well if its any help, my symptoms didnt start, other than sore bb's, until 6 weeks!! You will relish the days when you felt normal once they hit you full force !!:sick

Good to know. I have a scan scheduled for next Thursday at 7+1. I had one at 5+2 bc of a miscarraige scare and only saw a sac. I am really nervous because I could be having a missed miscarraige. My levels went up 60% from last Friday to this Monday, but I won't know everything is ok untill the scan. The waiting is killing me.

Welcome Ece77. I'm 32 and this is also my first.

Also good to know. I have sore bb's and that's really it. Besides that I don't really feel pregnant, which worries me a bit. I go to accupunture though and she told me that it really lessons ms so I'm hoping that it's working. Not to be gross but the one symptom I do have is slight constipation.

Thank you both! Clicking on the link and seeing that book was the first time I laughed in a couple days. Sadly, I doubt he would have time to read it. He has been working 12 - 16 hour days for the last few weeks.

I understand why he gets frustrated with me. I work full time too, but all I do right now is work as the front desk clerk at a motel. The reason I work there is because normally it is very slack and allows me to easily attend school full time. We had a couple family emergencies and my boss is in India (increasing my hours), so I decided to take this semester off before I found out I was pregnant. I am still working extra hours, but all I really have to do is occasionally take money and stay awake. Normally, I do all laundry, cooking shopping, bill paying and housework in addition to my job and school, while maintaining a 3.9874 GPA with only a year left. Now, I only did laundry because he ran out of clothes. I know if he understood he would give me a break, but he's not here enough right now I figure it out.

This is not my first, so I knew that I would be sick. Hyperemesis is not a stranger to me and after so much puking, I get lethargic. But I don't even think I have reached the level of hyperemesis yet and if it all gets any worse, I just don't know how I am going to keep up.

Maze: Are you feeling any better?

glad to hear I'm not the only one with lack of symptoms... hopefully we are just lucky
