Hi hayley! We sound very similar. I just turned 25 and unexpectedly pregnant with #3. My youngest is 5 months xx

So, week 10, I was hoping nausea would be going away soon but I've been feeling rotten, and today the pregnancy + app told me week 10 may be the worst week for nausea! Anyone starting to get to the end of it? When did it stop for you? I feel sorry for my little girl as we've been resting at home a lot!

 

[katestar53]

I'm feeling the same sewing_mama! I think we both my both my boys the sickness subsided about 12 weeks so not long! X

Welcome Hayley

I tried to find the hb at 8+4 and haven't tried again since. I think I'll try again today xx

 

[Livvy]

Omg. I tried right after I posted that while my one year old looked on confused... And I found it right away!! *happysigh*

 

[Livvy]

Also I'm so so tired of this target ad that shows up every time I go somewhere on bnb!

 

[mel102]

It's great to hear you are all finding baby with your Doppler I think il try mine again tonight.

Welcome Hayley

Sorry your still feeling ill sewing_mama thankfully I haven't felt ill at all this week and am 11 weeks today (going by my last scan) so hopefully it will stop for you soon also

Got halfway through my lunch and realized some of the tater tots were greyish on the inside. Really hoping it was just how the potatoes change color when skinned.

Yay Livvy! X

I can't wait until I can find my baby's heartbeat on the Doppler! I haven't been able to find it until 10 weeks in either of my previous pregnancies, so I probably won't try until then this time either.

Hhimayy, I wouldn't worry about the grayish colored tater tots. That's pretty common with potatoes. It's never made me sick.

How is everyone feeling? I'm so so tired, and trying to run around after my 2 year old and 8.5 month old is getting crazy. I'm hoping my symptoms start to ease off soon like they did with my first pregnancy (around 9-10 weeks).

I'm curious...what are tater tots?! They sound funny!

 

[mirandaprice]

Tator tots are just shredded potatoes mashed together like a meatball....I can't think of a different way to describe it haha.

So, last night was probably the scariest point of pregnancy so far, I started wiping blood, and I worked myself up into such a tizzy it made my stomach upset which made me think I was cramping....I was so scared I was gunna lose my baby (or already had). Called my drs nurse line this morning crying, they set me up an emergency u/s...thank God all is okay. Healthy baby with a hb of 174 measuring a little ahead now.

Apparently I have an sch, that was noted at my u/s last week- I get in there and the u/s tech is like "oh, that's probably from the small bleed you have in your uterus" um, thanks for letting me know last week when you saw it!!!

Hope everyone is well, sorry to hear ms has been rough on some of you ladies.

Welcome Hayley!

 

[Mattsgirl]

That seems so wrog tjat theu didnt tell you last week. Every person I've heard of having a sch they wanted them to take it a little easy until it healed. But glad baby is good and safe.

Finally got my firsr doctors appointment scheduled. Its September 2nd, so still like 2 weeks away but happy to finally have a date to look forward to.

 

[button05]

Tator tots sound interesting! Sorry about the bleed, how annoying that they didn't tell you, it could have saved a lot of worry.

Glad you've got your appt scheduled mattsgirl 😀

Tater tots are so good, lol! I didn't realize they were an American thing, but now that i think about it that makes sense... We're notorious for unhealthy fried food! Great, now I want tater tots...

Yikes, that's so scary mirandaprice! I'm so relieved for you that everything is okay! I had a bleed like that in my last pregnancy. They never did find the source of it, but all was okay. Pregnancy is so weird... Off topic, but I think I remember you from the trimester boards when I was pregnant with my son in 2014. Good to see you again!

Is anyone else that's still breastfeeding having a hard time with it? I'm not making much milk, my nipples are sore, and I'm too exhausted to nurse much anymore. I do nurse her probably 3-4 times a day still, but the rest is bottles. I feel so bad that we didn't make it to a year. I have to keep reminding myself that at least we made it to 6 months exclusively breastfeeding. I will miss it, though. I definitely wasn't ready to wean. I'm hoping to keep her nursing enough that maybe, just maybe, she will remember how and want to nurse when the new baby is born and my milk comes back.

Sorry for the ramble, ladies!

 

[mirandaprice]

Justplay, it looks like our boys are only a few weeks apart, it's totally possible we've run across each other before!

As for the nursing, don't feel guilty about not making a year, sometimes it just doesn't work out that way.

I think the u/s tech thought my dr told me, because she talked like I already knew...my dr is a bit old..like 30+ yrs in the business...and they recently updated their files to an online system so he may of missed the note.

I'm just glad I know now...I'm still spotting, but I'm so much more calm about it now.

Me! I think we may have been in a Nov 2015 group together lol. I find that sometimes breastfeeding still gives me a chance to sit and relax for a few minutes and not have to worry about what the baby is getting into. I did notice a steep decline in milk as I was pumping and now am not making enough to do that so we are also moving to some formula. 8 months is great and even if you keep up a little bit I'm sure she will want to when the new baby is here.

Justplay I went through alllll the same emotions when I was pregnant when my LO was 8 months. I lost that pregnancy sadly, but I totally understand not being ready to wean and having your milk drop. Mine dropped IMMEDIATELY after implantation which is how I knew I was pregnant. It was crazy. Same for this time, but LO is over a year now so he doesn't care as much. In fact he's changed his suckle and it hurts, instead of going for a deep latch it's shallow. I think as he's not getting much milk he's mostly nursing for comfort. I feel a lot more ready to wean him now than I did before though, I think we're both a lot more ready. If I wasn't pregnant I probably wouldn't wean him yet, but it is where it is. It'll be nice to have a break between breastfeeding We're down to nursing once or twice a day, I'm only officially nursing him in the morning but sometimes he asks in the afternoon and I don't refuse. Just cut out the bedtime feed a couple days ago! I know I'll miss it too but we'll still have a strong bond I'm sure. I'll be glad to not have him on my sore nipples.
