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

[Joannaxoxo]

hey guys, good to keep up with the news - Struth, my heart goes out to you...
MS - for me pretty bad first thing in the morning and just have to keep eating to keep it at bay - this is not good for the bloating...
anyone else more retchy??? literally can't brush my teeth without retching 5-6 times - DH rolls eyes...! anyone else the same??

xx

Waula: I haven't retched yet while brushing my teeth but I'm sure its going to happen soon... I hate brushing now and dread doing it because it makes me want to retch, yuck.

Anyone else find opening the fridge an incredible task? I think its the smells from the food but I almost always gag when I open our fridge. I had DH search the fridge for anything going bad but there is nothing... just my incredibly sensitive nose.

PS... today I am a Blueberry!

 

[firsttimer1]

thanks loo - you gave me the shake up i needed... the doppler is firmly back in its box!!! to cheer myself up i went out to tesco to get some prawn wotsits... and they only have cheese! stupid countryside tescos.... lol

can i get your opinion on something? im finding it hard to connect with this pregnancy due to what i was on about earlier. Usually i am dead against buying anything early on... but ive been wondering whether to go with OH tonight and just buy something reaalllllyy small for the baby... like a small blanket or something...? Im wondering if this would help me? i know if i do end up with a bad outcome the blanket might make it worse.... but would it really??? i would never buy more than that. opinions?


Loo- make sure ur friend is actually talking about your pregnancy lol - she may mean something TOTALLY different??!! have you got another scan coming up??? remind me

 

[loolindley]

I didn't want to sound harsh hun, but all I hear about dopplars in the first tri is not good. x

I'm definitely going to find out what is going on before I start accusing people, but I have a wax this afternoon, and it's like therapy - the woman who does it has been such a mother figure to me over the last 5 years, and I know I can air off to her about everything and she will give an unbaist opinion.

I don't have my next scan until next Tuesday, but it's just to check how things are progressing as there was a heartbeat when I went last wednesday.

If it will help you to have something physical, then I don't think you should fight it. Maybe a little babygrow, or teddy? The only reason I've not looked at stuff is because I won't be finding out if I'm having a boy or a girl.....but I have got a tiny tee shirt which I had from 6 months ago tucked away at the back of my knicker drawer

Good Morning Ladies! Hope all is well ~ I have graduated to a rasberry!!!

For those near London I pray for all of you to stay safe, I watch the news every morning and I have just horrified as to what I see.

As for me I have my 1st appointment today @ 1:30pm US time, DH couldn't get the time off work and I told him not to push the issue as work can be really hard to find here in the states right now in his line of work and we need him with a job! I hope they give me a scan today *TMI I know* when I wiped this morning I had some red/brownish on the paper, I don't think it is much as it's gone away already (cause I have gone the bathroom another 30 times the last 2 hours to check). I am just nervous nelly!

 

[Sambles]

Pristock - hope your appointment goes well. I think it's normal to be nervous but I'm sure it will all be fine

 

[Joannaxoxo]

I bought some baby onesies the other day. When looking for the gift to surprise DH's family we came across some really cheap baby clothes, bought a couple 2 packs of onesies for only $4.99! So thats all I've got so far, not planning on buying anything else for a few more weeks.

 

[firsttimer1]

right well i think im going to buy something small then thanks loo and ladies

pristock - good luck at your app today hun going alone isnt so bad; i went to my scan alone as if it was bad news - i didnt want hubby there. sounds weird, but i want his first scan etc to be full of happiness Mention the red/brown discharge and you may well get a scan... but try not to worry

Oh, ANNND..... congrats on being a raspberry!!!

 

[newfielady]

I feel scared for you ladies wit the riots near home. Stay safe.
I'm gonna check out that page now in a sec loo.
I've bought a couple small things firsttimer. I was surprised at myself where I had a early m/c just before but a lady I knew was selling some baby stuff and I couldn't resist a deal. Buy something if it makes you feel better.
pristock, I will be checking back soon to see how your scan went.

 

[Widger]

Well thankfully got a good (ish) nights sleep last night (I say ish as my son got up crying at 5am for the 3rd morning on the trot zzzzzzz) No rioting or helicopters so all good. Hope everyone else was ok xx

Firsttimer - Once you have had a mc it is very difficult to connect with your pregnancy as I think it is a defence mechanism that kicks in. I refuse to even think about it - which obviously I do because I freak out regularly thinking there isn't a baby growing anymore - but I mean think about the future etc until I know that I've had a good 12 week scan. I have friends that didn't connect either in first trimester after mc and they were sick as dogs. They just felt so rough as Wouldluvabub says that they wouldn't wish it on anyone and it didn't make them connect anymore.

I suppose what I'm saying is please don't worry. Even after my 12 week scan it wasn't until I started feeling movement that I really started believing that I was pregnant and 'bonding' with my baby.

Sambles/Firsttimer - As for the doppler, I didn't have one first time round as I thought it wouldn't do me any favours at all. BUT I've changed my mind this time and I've just received one that I've rented as I thought why not (hi-bebe). I played about with it yest, not to hear baby as obviously too early, but just to hear some other sounds. It did pick up a wow wow sound which I think is blood flow. My mw found it difficult at my 16 wk appointment to even find it! She eventually did.... after 5 mins of searching!!!! I remember sitting there and trying not to freak out. So it just goes to show, even professionals can't find it at times. Can yo uremind me of that when I freak out next week when I can't hear anything

Pristock - Good luck with your scan.

Loo - I will comment on your thread once I get to it.

Niknak - I want to be an olive

By the way - am I the only person that doesn't have boobs over a size E??? I'm a measly 30C and not quite as plump after breastfeeding.. I'm waiting for them to plump out and hurt but nothing yet either

 

[Widger]

By the way, didn't babydance hear the hb mega early?? Maybe we could ask her for some doppler tips

Ooooo did she? thats wud be good as apparently there is a technique to it lol. I heard the HB at my professional scan in 7th week - so i know im lucky there. Just no guarantee that baby is still ok... like someone said earlier on ..we need to marry a sonographer! Geez that wud be awesome - scans on demand

 

[pristock230]

I'm not over an E - very large C though - My mom tells me I am a D just in denial

 

[Babydance]

Hello lovlies ive not posted in here for a few days! Hope youre all keeping ok. My sickness started to get the better of me, i could barely get off the sofa without feeling i was going to faint too! Im feeling a little better now but i think it's cos DH is home so im distracted more than anything.
What helps you when you feel sick? Ive found crisps squares are a no go the make me wretch but chipsticks are ok and quavers are good too. Oh pretzels are good!
As for doppler tips the way i find bubs is; i have an empty bladder, loads of baby oil (gels expensive and i oil my belly anyway!) lay flat on the bed with your head on a pillow and get comfy! youre more likely to pick up the HB with you exhale so put the probe on the line where your knickers sit generally in the middle, if you hear nothing tilt the probe to one side or the other if you dont hear the HB you can still here bubs swimming around if you keep the probe very still for abou 10 secs you hear the bubbles and flutter DO NOT panic if you cant hear it, i may be lucky and have conveniently positioned uterus? I also did used it lots and lots with my last pregnancy so plenty practise. But the worst thing to do is worry, sometimes i dont get the HB i just hear bubs kick/swim about which makes me feel relief too.
Well ive consumed an entire lemon meringue pie in less than 12 hours.. pig! lol
Hows everyone keeping today?

Im 8+3 today xx

 

[redsox]

So I guess I win the smallest boobs aboard award?? I am a 34B (sometimes C - but barely) and right now I am thrilled with my new full 34C girls. HA!

Guess I should relish this point where I have a little bloat but some nice fuller boobs!

Pristock - I can't wait to hear about your scan. Praying all goes well.

Firsttimer and Widger - So glad you brought this up as I am having a difficulty connecting with this pregnancy too. It is definitely a defense mechanism. Oddly, after I recovered from my scan on Friday, I spilled to my friend that was visiting for the weekend and it was great but felt so weird when she was so excited and emotional. In a way it really drove home how I am holding the situation at arms length out of complete fear of being heartbroken again.

But slowly, I know my chances are so much better this time. I can't wait for the 12 week scan as I am so hopeful all will go well and it will feel real and safe and exciting!

 

[loolindley]

Good luck with your appointment Pristock, and mention the blood...it is bound to improve your chances of having a scan.

Thank you to the ladies who have commented on my post. It has been nice to air it to people without making anything official yet. Such a massive life change, it's good to get a second opinion

Im off for my wax now..should take me ages as pregnancy seems to have turned me into a yeti!!!!

I was thinking we were quite a jubbly group in the boob department!! You are obviously the Kate Moss of the thread with your peanuts!!!

Please don't take offense to this!!! I'm concerned I'll be able to wear mine as a scarf after pregnancy!!!

 

[firsttimer1]

babydance- sorry I've been so ill, that's rubbish glad u can stomach quavers though - they're great! Hope u start feeling better soon
Thanks so much for the Doppler tips- when I try next time I will try what uve said. This is an awful Q but are u really thin or do u have a bit of fat on tummy? I'm average but tummy id now sooo bloated, just wondered if that will get in the way

Redsox- mooooorning!! Hope ur ok Hun. Its nice to know a few of us are in same boat isn't it?

Struth - if ur still keeping an eye on this thread, we are all thinking of u xxx

 

[Joannaxoxo]

I'm also in the B cup department... I'm a B36.... and currently I'm still wearing my bras but they are starting to get quite tight. I have one bra where the cups are slightly bigger than the rest of my bras and currently I am filling it out nicely. Will need to treat myself to some bigger bras soon.. still feeling sore so definately growing or something.

 

[Babydance]
