Looking for a bump buddy! Is anyone due June 28?

[Livvy]

Yes I'm on both and looove instagram, my username is livvy_turtle. What's yours? Yes I actually got a scan several weeks ago! I'll attach a pic. They moved my due date back to July 4th as well. My next appointment is Dec. 17, which is also my birthday, but I don't think I'll get a scan... just a thorough physical. And I think they'll try to listen to the baby's heartbeat. How about you all?

 

[DoodleDoo]

I've followed you on there. I'm DemiDooDah none of my friends know yet so mosy of my posts will have nothing to do with babies though haha

That's such a cute scan photo, it's adorable when they're still all teeny. It must have been amazing to see! I can't wait for mine!

I'm supposed to be being scheduled for a 12w scan in a week or two. I'll be 13/4w by then though! It's taking aaaaaaages. So impatient lol.

Are you seeing any belly changes yet? When I woke up this morning with a full bladder I had a teeny solid bump! It went away when I peed though lol

 

[Livvy]

It's so hard to wait isn't it?? Sigh. I can't wait for your pic!! I want to ask for another scan at my 12 week but I also don't want to be annoying, haha. My waistline has definitely expanded, and my belly button is an outie now! I wouldn't really say I'm showing though. I just look like I ate too much. can't help be worried though since I haven't seen baby in weeks and weeks...

 

[DoodleDoo]

do you have your edd now? I know what you mean about the worrying.I don't think it'll feel realy until I see them! Apparently though once you hear a heartbeat after 8 weeks, there is a really good chance that the pregnancy will continue well, or so my midwife told me yesterday. I'm positive that your little one is happy and healthy and kicking around in there

I just did a mini insta stalk. You and your DH look so sweet together! I bet he's so excited.

 

[Livvy]

Aww thanks! You are gorgeous and so is your OH you guys look very happy!! Yes my official due date is July 4th.

 

[DoodleDoo]

Wow that's really cool, a July baby. I personally hope that my little one doesn't arrive til then as we have so many June birthdays in our family already!

I finally break up from university tomorrow for christmas so can go home for a month which I'm soooo excited about. I miss OH so much when we're separated during the week! Have you got plans over christmas?

Hope you're well today.

 

[Livvy]

I'm doing pretty well, thanks. I had a bout of dizziness last night after work which is very unusual for me, so I went to bed straight away. I also felt like I was going to throw up at work but thankfully didn't! Otherwise, can't complain.

For Christmas we are going to my family who live about 5 hours away.

How are you feeling?

 

[DoodleDoo]

Sorry to hear that you felt dizzy and nauseous. Pregnancy is so tough. I don't understand how people say it makes you glow not once have I felt like I look good since I found out I was expecting!

That sounds amazing. Do they know that you're pregnant yet or is going to be a christmas surprise?

I'm well thanks. I had a mini panic last night as I accidentally took too much caffeine and got worked up it was going to harm baby. Fingers crossed he's still okay though And now I need to get my ass from this site and go to my first lecture. Hope you're feeling better today!

 

[Livvy]

Aww, I definitely haven't stopped drinking coffee since finding out. I love coffee! I'm sure your little one is fine When did you say your first appointment was?

Have you gotten morning sickness at all? I've really been ok other than being exhausted, so I can't complain! My mom said she was the same way so I'm hoping I'm just lucky. We told my family like right away, they are so excited for us! Announcing to facebook next week though if everything looks good at my appointment!

 

[DoodleDoo]

I don't blame you about not stopping drinking coffee I love love love cola and still drink that. It's just I took medication that contained lots of caffeine without realising and then freaked out ha. FX everything's okay though!

I had my first appt last monday and she is supposed to be posting me details of my scan date. Also, they took my blood (and bruised me hugely) and then lost my blood so I need to go and have that redone!

My sickness was terrible from 6 weeks until about a week ago. Now it's mostly first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Hopefully in the next week or two it will go completely wishful thinking. It's so good for you that you've not had it too badly. I bet you're glowing!

Aww it's lovely that your family are so pleased. Do your husband's family know? I love seeing people's facebook announcements. They're always so unexpected. Have you got any ideas how you're going to announce it?

 

[Livvy]

Ahhhh I bet you can't wait to get your ultrasound date.
Have you thrown up at all? I haven't, but oh my... I have come close. I work as a nurse and some of the things I have to deal with in the hospital are nauseating normally, when pregnant it's 100x worse!

That is awful that they lost your blood. :O I would be so so mad!

Yes I know exactly how I will announce it!

[DoodleDoo]

I really can't wait! Hopefully we should see the baby before christmas. I want to tell my close family (grandparents etc) as soon as I can. I don't want to leave it until Christmas day as it might put a bit of a damper on it as we spend it with two lovely relatives who have been going through IVF to no success recently. For me to announce my poorly timed pregnancy might upset them a little.

I've thrown up so much. Between 7 and 11 weeks I was throwing up at least 4/5 times a day. Now, it's just once in the morning and occasionally in the evening which is so much better! I imagine that your job makes it really hard to cope with sickness. You must have a tough stomach to put up with all the icky stuff!

Aww I love love love the candy cane idea! It's so unique and perfect for this time of year! Pinterest is the best. I spend so much of my free time browsing stuff on there

When is your appointment?

 

[Livvy]

Awww, yeah. It's hard to try and not be insensitive to others who are trying so hard.

Wow, I'm so sorry you are so sick! I'm very glad I'm not, since I wouldn't be able to deal with work and sickness and being so exhausted well at all. As it is I'm struggling to stay positive in what is often a somewhat hostile work environment.

I love Pinterest too, it's the best. my appointment is Wednesday, which is also my birthday! Really hoping we hear the baby's heartbeat.

 

[DoodleDoo]

Welcome KayJay! how has your pregnancy been so far? It's nice to have new members to the group!

Livvy, wow what an awesome birthday present that will be! I'm sure you'll hear baby's heartbreat thumping away strong. Is DH going with you?

I'm going to visit my godmother tonight who has an 18mo daughter, so I've decided I'm going to tell her about my pregnancy. It's super scary, as she's like a mum to me and so I think I'm going to get the 'you've ruined your life' blah blah. Hopefully not though!

On the plus side. I've not been sick today

 

[DoodleDoo]

Also, Kayjay, I think I want to stay team yellow. I think it'll give me motivation in the delivery room lol it'll be so hard not to find out though...

What about you girls?

 

[Livvy]

Welcome KayJay! I also want to stay team yellow, but my determination on that is wavering the farther along I get!

Yes DH will be coming with me, I don't know what I'd do without him if we got bad news.

Please please share your godmother's reaction! I hope she takes it well and is super excited for you!

 

[DoodleDoo]

Ooh your scan is tomorrow. Everything is pointing towards it being positive, I'm sure you'll see a nice healthy baby kicking around! Will you be able to bring pictures back with you? (Also Happy Birthday for tomorrow!!)

My godmother was okay. She cried, quite a lot lol, in a bad way. Then she got a little bit more positive and said how she has loads of little girl stuff and to talk to her if I need anything, which is nice

I'm 13weeks tomorrow! In second tri... FINALLY. It feels like forever. No sign of the sickness going away though Have been so sick all morning and still feel queasy now. FX it'll stop soon.

Hi ladies!
For some reason I got unsubscribed from this thread and couldn't find you guys!

Anyway, here I am back with you!

Now at 12w4d, I can't believe it. Finally let out the secret this weekend, it was a big surprise to everyone.
Nausea has decreased, but I am still always extremely tired. Past few nights thought, I haven't been able to sleep
Still can't seem to eat meat at all ....have been mostly vegetarian, have zero cravings and appetite. have not gained/lost weight. Been eating pasta, fruits and veggies, toast and cereal. Can't wait to have my appetite back!

Hope all is well with you lovely ladies.

Livvy & Doodle - added you to Instagram

 

[Livvy]

Added you Jaan! Welcome back! I haven't wanted meat much either.

Doodle, that's nice that she came around to it it's actually not a scan tomorrow, just a full physical exam and I'm hoping they'll listen for the heartbeat. If they can't find a heartbeat they might do a scan, but I hope it doesn't come to that...

 

[DoodleDoo]

Nice to see you back Jaan I'm glad everything is going okay for you. I'm very jealous that you've not gained any weight. I feel like a whale Are you seeing any changes in your tummy yet?

Livvy, so excited to hear how it all goes for you! Fingers crossed that you get to hear baby's heartbeat! Have you found it on a doppler yet?

Kayjay - at least someone on the thread will be team blue or pink I think finding out is really cool. My mother found out the gender of my brother and it was so nice to buy loads of blue things! Do you have any preference gender-wise?

As for me, I had a mini scare last night. I went to the toilet and when I wiped there was the teeny teeniest bit of bright red blood Was so worried but it only happened once and have had no cramps or bleeding since. Still, I'm waiting on a call from my midwife! Desperate to see baby/hear its heartbeat now. So jealous of everyone who already has!

Anyway hope that you're all well. I need to stop procrastinating on here have so much to do today!
