March Mama's! 2012 :) - 33 pink , 24 blue and 17 yellow bumps! 33 Babies!!

[firsttimer1]

At work I told my boss and the lady I work my shifts with. They do the heavy lifting and such for me. My boss actually asks me to do the easier stuff since they know I miscarried a couple of months ago. They are so sweet. .
My scan measured smaller than I thought it would but they don't do tranvaginal scans here apparently . And it was really hard for the u/s tech to see anything. So I changed my ticker but I'm not reading to much into it. I'd say by my 12week scan I'll be caught up to my date. (1 week later). Since I know I ovulated on the 25-26th. I guess I'll have to be patient.

alot of ladies seem to catch up by 12 weeks

Girls....have a laugh!! Totally un baby related but thought those of us who have been worrying could do with a chuckle and those who've had good news I'm sure will laugh too....

This has been taken today by my best friend who is currently on holiday in Austria

Does this goat look happy or what??

 

[Joannaxoxo]

That is one scary looking goat!

 

[Luv_My_Bichon]

but oh so funny!!!

 

[newfielady]

I don't really like goats so I'd be staying far away from this one lol

Hi ladies, I hope everyone is well. I went to my doctor today, just for history and blood work. She said it's perfectly normal not to have symptoms early in the pregnancy, just as it's perfectly normal to have a ton of morning sickness. She told me not to worry and instead be happy that so far it's been pretty easy on me.

The good thing about today, I'm not in any high risk groups for miscarriage or birth defects! Because of this we're not going to do any early ultrasounds or risky tests. I figure why bug the baby if you don't have to?

At work I've only told two close friends and the three people in my department (and my boss) as we work with an infectious agent that is known to cause miscarriage so I'm taken off the schedule for that test. My husband told everyone he knows at his work. I want to tell everyone but what if something happens?

It's kinda weird to think that the biggest thing in my life right now is smaller than a blueberry?

First of all WOAH!!! I have had a few days away from BNB mainly cause I have been feeling terrible and this thread has just gotten huge! It took me about half an hour to catch up! Lovely to see some good news from some of you ladies! Congrats! And welcome to any new comers that have found their way to this thread.

As for the ladies spotting I had 5 day's of brown spotting before my BFP and have had nothing since. My doctor was not worried about it at all and I have read as long as it is brown it's fine!

Telling work.. Well I told my boss mainly because I have been feeling so horrible lately and I thought it best she knew why. I was not going to tell my 2 co-workers because I wanted to wait untill I was a bit further BUT as I am a hairdresser and the girls kept shrinking my lunch breaks and squeezing things in with me so I decided to tell them so they would stop doing this! I am finding it SO hard to keep secret because pretty much every client of mine ask's if I am ok because I am looking so sick and tired all the time! I feel like saying gee thanks when they say 'Wow, you look terrible.. Are you ok?'

Symptoms I have noticed this week apart from the usual feeling and actually being sick! Are as follows:
I have been a little constipated (sorry TMI)
AND I have started to get emotional! I have been crying at things on the TV and I am not normally a cryer! Also I am getting grumpy quite easily!
Apart from that not to much else!!!!!!

I have my next appointment next Friday where I will be about 8+6 I think.. I can't wait to have proper dates!

 

[wouldluvabub]

Thought I would show you guys my bump progress:



I assume most of it is bloat but it have hardly eaten anything lately due to being sick and I have also lost 2 kgs!

Hope I am not the only keen one already taking 'bump' photos!

 

[loolindley]

I think if someone told me I looked terrible now I would either burst into tears, or crack them! My emotions are having a mind of their own right now!

Has anyone been having freaky vivid dreams? I have had a few recently, but last night I was convinced I had heard something (or as I thought at the time, someONE) in my back garden at about 2am. I shouted out the window for them to p!ss off, and I would call the police. A minute or so later when my eyes had adjusted, I realised that my burgler was in fact a badger!! I went back to bed and slept fitfully dreaming about badgers breaking into my house!!

Also, apart from being knackered all the time, is anyone else suffering from insomnia at night? I'm finding myself awake for hours in the middle of the night. It's ok now, but when I go back to work, it's not going to be fun

Hi all,

Just to let you know that I had my first scan today at the fertility clinic. I was amazingly nervous and actually cried when she said everything is ok and showed me the heart beating. I also saw where the umbilical cord is and was measured at 7+4. It's a good feeling!

xx

 

[loolindley]

Awwww lush! I cried so hard when I saw the heatbeat that she kept losing contact with the ultrasound wand!!!! I had to compose myself quickly!

 

[newfielady]

Aww that's great news.
I've got quite a bit of bloat on the go too! And when you super skinny to start with it's pretty easy to notice. I try to stay away from the form fitting shirts now a days.
Symptoms:
Nausea - everything turns my stomach, food and non-food
Super sensitive nose- everything in wal-mart yesterday stank
vivid dreams - strange dreams too. Last night I dreampt my chinese boss got in a sword fight
Hard, sore boobs- can't even sleep on them
Fatigued - fell asleep yesterday watching Jerry

 

[firsttimer1]

I'm still pretty much symptomless! No weird dreams, no ultra smell, no metal taste etc... Lol just feel a bit "off" in the evenings! Fine all day.

Crazy!
Redsox - can't wait for update

 

[Widger]

Symptoms - cramping on left side (obviously I now know cyst pain), tired, thirsty, bloating, boobs becoming a little bit plumper (after bfing my son it is a welcome sight! ).... that is about it too. I'm not complaining about the lack of nausea either.

Laura - So great when you get lovely news at a scan. Those seconds you wait to hear any type of news seem to drag on forever.

Redsox - Looking forward to hearing your news

Wouldluvabub - What a cute little bump appearing!

 

[firsttimer1]

Getting excited for redsox now

Luvbub- I've not started photos of bump yet but only cos I'm soooo bloated its gross lol!

 

[redsox]

Hi Ladies!

Thank you for all of the well wishes - I am here at work just DYING to get out of here and go to my scan in a few hours. TORTURE. I am so nervous I can barely swallow my yogurt!!!

Newfie and Loolindley - You both cracked me up. Badgers and swordfights - oh my! I had a crazy dream last night that we had a baby and it was a newborn girl and my husband was tossing her in the air playfully and I was freaking out. 'Um she's a little too small for that!" (Which is hilarious as he is really the one with a knack for babies!)

Wouldluvabub - I am certainly very conscious of my bloat/bump, but haven't started taking pictures yet. Maybe if I have a positive scan today I will be able to start documenting things with a little confidence and excitement!

LauraClili - I am thrilled you had such a wonderful scan! Hopeful I see the same things.

It needs to be 12:30 so I can leave for my scan! Can't tell if I am nauseated from morning sickness or worry!

 

[firsttimer1]

U will b fine! Update when bk

Ladies- those who have had a scan at about 7 weeks what was ur babys heartbeat? Mine was 158... But wiki says baby shudhave a bpm of up to 149 in wk 7?? Not too worried, just curious? X

 

[pristock230]

RedSox - Good Luck today! Sending Good vibes your way!

 

[lauraclili]

Firsttimer, I wasn't told about the rate of the heartbeat. The sonographer was just happy to report it was there and that it was steady and beating away. She seemed much more interested in measuring my shrimp to give me a date!

They do say that a faster heartbeat means you're having a girl though...

 

[loolindley]

Good Luck red sox!!!! Can't wait to hear your news

Well I started feeling rough, and a bit queezy last night, then after lunch today the sickness came. Caught me off guard, so just had time to get to the kitchen sink, which was crap as when I could face it, I then had to fish it out as we have one of those 'catchers' in the sink. Bleugh. If this is going to be regular thing, then I am going to buy a washing up bowl this weekend.

Sorry, I realise that is quite gross, but I'm just so pleased to have a proper pregnancy symptom!
