Looking for March Bump Buddies!

[apaki]

Apaki... welcome to the group! You're due only a few days after me, yay!

Allforthegirl... Fingers crossed that this bean is a sticky one. I had an early loss last cycle and I was so excited when my pink line started getting darker this time around. You have 5 boys, wow! You have an entire hockey line, just missing the goalie!

Bombshell... I hope you're feeling better after that fall. I'm naturally clumsy so extra clumsiness is going to be challenging.

Destinik.... how are you doing? Thank you for updating the first page with everyone's due date.

As for me, I had my first doctor's appointment yesterday and I have to admit that I was both tickled pink and relieved when the urine test came back positive. I was so scared that somehow it wouldn't. Normally she doesn't do first prenatal visits until 8 weeks but since she is going to be away on summer holidays at that time, we did all the preliminary blood work now, and will do the rest when she gets back (which is when I will be 10 weeks). I guess the upside is that I'll get to hear the heartbeat then. I was impressed by the sheer number of blood tests that were ordered... as a first-timer, I didn't even know they did half of these tests... HIV test? Measles antibody test? It was a learning process for me!

As for symptoms, I had my very first bout of morning sickness today. It wasn't too bad, but I anticipate that it'll only get worse. The only good thing about it is that hopefully the worst of it will be before I go back to school in 5 weeks (I'm a teacher).

Thank you! Yeah there are a lot of tests. I don't think I'm taking measles but HIV and Rubella for sure.

Ooh morning sickness. I'm still hoping to pass it by. For me the first time it got a lot better by 12 weeks and went away by 16. Fx yours isn't too bad!

 

[apaki]

Apaki the exhaustion really is unbelievable I can literally do nothing physically draining and feel like you do after a move! But I mean we are growing a human! Luckily you have us to help kill time before your US it'll be here before you know it!

Chrissy05 your welcome and I'm definitely a little more at ease today since yesterday I had no spotting at all. This is my first time to and I didn't know that they did all those tests! I thought they took blood to measure your levels and your on your way, interesting and I guess it makes sense that they would do so.

AFM yesterday I noticed my lymph node under my right arm was a little swollen and tender, today I feel a sore throat coming on. Guess I'll be gargling warm salt water for the next couple days yaaaaay -___-

Damn nothing more annoying than being sick when you're pregnant! Hope it doesn't get too bad!

 

[Destinyk]

Apaki thank you! I might grab some Emergen C too and hopefully that'll kick whatever this is to the curb real quick.

 

[bombshellmom]

Chrissy I too have some ms this morning. A good strong bout of it too. I have had the odd small bit here and there but it hit me around six weeks last full term pg too. I was just Hoping I would miss it looking like I may be shit out of luck.

I think I'm starting to get ms now! Only in the mornings after I wake up I feel kinda off, and slightly nauseous. But I with my mc and DD I was sicker than a dog by now!!

You poor thing lol!! We could trade!!

 

[allforthegirl]

bombshell~ I am not sure you really want to do that. Never wish upon yourself ms. It is horrible. I was sipping on lemon water all night just to keep myself calm. It worked a bit. Enough for me to eat something light.

So ladies if you would like the March sig in my signature then please go back to this page. She even made one for when we know what we are having. So nice of her.

I kinda like the ms, it reassures me everything is alright!
And my morning sickness officially started today! Feeling quite queasy
and that sig is too cute!

 

[allforthegirl]

I despise nausea, even more I despise vomit! I could hardly function in my last pg. If it stays where I can live, then I am ok....just scared that it won't happen that way....

Well I hope it goes easy on you this time around! vomiting freaks me out too, it's not a lovely feeling, luckily with DD I only vomited once every couple of days from about 6 weeks until 14 weeks.

 

[allforthegirl]

Yeah....last time my ms didn't go away until after 17-19 weeks......and I was on medication to help and it did but didn't

Allforthegirl loooove the sig thanks so much! I am so sorry to hear that ms is hitting you hard. Do you notice that is occurs at a particular time of day or during certain circumstances? For me it hits first thing in the morning so I eat a piece of whole grain bread as soon as I get up to put something in my stomach and so far that has been working great for me. The only other time it hits me is if I let myself go hungry for 30+ mins, it doesn't really hit me randomly. Ginger ale is good for nausea, the brand Canada Dry works very well for me and it has no caffeine. I hope it passes you soon. I was worried because my mother when she was pregnant with me had ms well into her second trimester, she lost 16 pounds and by the time she gave birth to me she had only gained back the 16 pounds yikes! Luckily so far it hasn't been too terrible for me, knock on wood.

Kwynia great job on the signature and thank you for so conveniently posting the codes here!

 

[Destinyk]

Oh boy my tummy is nooot on my side today on a lighter note tomorrow is 8 weeks! Hope everyone is doing well

 

[allforthegirl]

Not really any particular time for me. Sometimes it starts before I get up in the morning or sometimes not until after lunch or even supper. Today it started this morning. I diffused peppermint oil and sipped on lemonade yesterday and it took the edge off enough for me to eat. So I will try and continue that and see how long I can keep it going.

Yay for 8 weeks!!

 

[Destinyk]

Allforthegirl oh man :/ I hope the nausea fizzles out for you very soon

 

[allforthegirl]

I had some spotting today so I'm trying to just be in the moment. The operative word is TRYING

 

[Destinyk]

Allforthegirl I totally understand, easier said than done. I had spotting again yesterday I noticed it's been happening a day or two after BDing. Any connections with that? If not I've read that spotting is super common and as long as it's not full flow or with clots and accompanied with cramping your almost always fine. FX and I'll be thinking of you!

 

[allforthegirl]

My first couple times it was exactly two days after bding this time I have no clue what cause it this time.

 

[Destinyk]

Allforthegirl has the spotting stopped? Thinking of you! ����

 

[allforthegirl]

Yes the spotting did stop, actually it was only on my underwear and then nothing else. So I am very happy about that. I did how ever have some very questionable cramping later the evening which had my panic more but that just ended in the shits. I'm guessing my nausea and then the shits were just a stomach flu. Which I'm actually relieved about because I hate nausea.

Hopefully the spotting stays away for you! Spotting is always scary!!


AFM, 6 weeks tomorrow! Scan on Aug 4th, cannot wait! We are announcing our pregnancy on FB on Saturday, doing professional photos with DD to announce it! I literally cannot wait any longer, I'm going nuts with all these pregnancy announcements on my news feed lol I'm so jealous that others are announcing and I haven't yet
