May 2013 Babies

[manuiti]

cgav - Oh to have an 'innocent' pregnancy! Fingers crossed it's all just old blood.

MizzPodd - so glad you've got an appointment for Monday. I've got my fingers crossed for you that it's just old blood too.

afm - I had my first full day of MS yesterday. I wasn't sick but I felt horrible. I'm still feeling quite delicate stomach wise this morning so I'm taking it plain and slow. Though I did say to hubby that if we end up with a beautiful baby at the end, then bring it on! And I'm gradually getting more prone to tears. Like at the moment I'm watching the dog whisperer and he's rehabilitating a dog with post traumatic stress disorder and all I want to do is sit here and ball my eyes out. Oh dear. lol

Hope everyone's doing ok.

Manu- we are similar about the MS. I'm not 6 weeks yet but that is when it comes full blown! Next week is 6 weeks for me so I just know its gonna hit. Mine is terrible and lasts past the first trimester. My second pregnancy MS lasted the whole time until I delivered at almost 5 months. I didn't expect for the MS to last so long! Oh and I have been getting teary eyes over silly stuff too. I saw a food commercial an started to tear up lol what???!
I agree with you fully, if I have to have MS the whole time to get a beautiful healthy baby, then ill do it. I'll go through anything for this baby

 

[Tournesol]

I'm with you girls on the MS! Bring it on, I can handle it! *gag*

I know I usually lurk but I couldn't let the week end without speaking my heart:

Tasha my heart goes out to you and I am not going to even pretend to understand your heartbreak but I will say that you have may angels looking over you plus the ones you can hug because they made it. As chessy as it may sound you have a few you can hug and lavish your love on, I am still trying to get there. Even though you are bringing your journey to an end - never doubt that you are a strong woman and have endured something most of us could never even imagine and you get major props and love all the way from Brooklyn NY. My hats off to you love.

 

[snowflakes120]

Tasha - I am so sorry for your loss. I send you lots of hugs.

Girls, I am a bit behind you guys at only 4w3d. Your symptoms all seems much more pronounced than I have. I feel like I have none except some sore boobs!! I have a few questions if you wouldn't mind! Is it normal for me to be having a bachache this early in pregnancy? Did any of you guys have it? Also, when should I expect the queasy tummy to start? I feel good now but was wondering when it started for y'all?

 

[MizzPodd]

Tournesol- yep! It's gonna be rough but very much worth it!!

Snowflake- I haven't had major symptoms like MS yet. My symptoms become more real between 6 and 8 weeks so don't you worry. Enjoy your time while you still feel pretty good! Lol oh and I had back pain early on so don't worry about that either. I am noticing that I am beginning to get nauseated a little but I will be 6 weeks in a few days so I am not surprised. As early as you are, you may not feel any MS for a couple more weeks! But some women don't get it at all sometimes so please relax deary. you'll be fine

 

[Tournesol]

Don't worry snowflake, I started off with sore boobs and tiredness, the sickness kicked in at about 6w. You've got it all to look forward to!

Btw I just had my first bout of actual MORNING morning sickness! I normally get daytime queasiness followed by evening sickness. I've got to try to eat some breakfast and keep it down before I head off to work.

 

[EMTAmanda]

We made it to 8 weeks!!!! My pants are beginning to feel pretty tight as well as this morning my tummy feels rock hard and sore like I've done sit ups but I think it's stretching pain.

 

[MightyMom]

Congrats on making it to 8 weeks!

 

[padbrat]

Tash my lovely.... my words are inadequate. xxx

Wahoooo for 8 wks Amanda!

Snowflake back ache in early pregnancy is very common. I think most of us have had it in varying degrees x

Tour check you out... real puking! I feel sick and then must eat... and so long as I do I am OK. Though have to confess I am eating almost constantly... what a porker I am!

Mizzy all the best for Monday.. I will be thinking of you chick!

Nice to hear from you Bkl! Shout out to you from the UK!

Manu I am crying at all kinds of things.... was crying at a 'I think I Wanna Marry You' by Bruno Mars today in the car... WTF it isn't even a sad song!! Hubby thinks I am going crazy lol

Cgav I spotted at 5-6 weeks too... I am hoping it is implantation blood coming out, as it can take a while.

Remember Pad's mantra ladies... Hope Is Important

 

[EMTAmanda]

My father in law cooked me a turkey and dressing today!!! Haha totally hit the spot! Now I believe it's time for a nap I've also been battling some severe nausea and constipation cramps today :-/

 

[manuiti]

snowflake - don't worry. I also only started out feeling tired and the odd twinge here and there and that was it. I've only started feeling crappy over the past few days.

Amanda - yippeee!!!! Congrats on making 8 weeks.

Pad - I love the Bruno Mars song! I can just imagine you balling your eyes out to it.

afm - today I feel ok-ish but my get up and go has gone on holiday. I've got zero energy today so I've been mooching around watching tv most of the day but I'm soooo bored!!! But I've got no energy to do something less boring.

 

[Tournesol]

Congrats Amanda, 8 weeks! Not long to go til the 2nd tri!

I'm thinking of telling people at work. I'm having problems at the moment, I work in a hotel and all the staff eat lunch together, which is whatever the chef happens to cook for us on the day. Yesterday he made us beef carpaccio (very thinly sliced RAW beef fillet) which I can't eat and a camembert cheese fondue, which I also can't eat! So I had to really sidestep that one... I snuck into the kitchen when no one was looking and made a sandwich!
What do you guys think? Should I tell? I'm still so scared though, I feel so different this pregnancy, but I don't want to jinx anything. Which is so silly as I don't believe in jinx or tempting fate or anything like that. Dilemma!

On another note, so far no puking today (yay!) but I have been feeling so teary. One of those "save the abandoned donkeys" adverts came on the TV and I just welled up straight away. Those poor donkeys!

How is everybody else today? x

 

[robinson380]

Hello Ladies hope everyone had a good weekend. Super nauseaous today no vomitting yet but I am trying every trick not to! I sure wish I worked from home!

 

[MightyMom]

Tournesol: Maybe you could just tell the chef? Maybe you could say you are waiting to tell everyone until your doctors appt (give the day and time) and ask if he could avoid making raw meat/raw cheese foods until the appt? Not sure if that is even an option for you. Or you could pretend to get an urgent text the next time he makes something you can't eat, then excuse yourself and make a sandwich in the back. Or maybe just keep some on-hand foods for when he makes something and just don't go to dine that day? If you aren't comfortable sharing your news yet, I think it is reasonable that you don't have to until you are comfortable.

robinson: I'm sorry you are feeling so poorly. I've been nauseated as well all morning and every time I smell a co-worker's deoderant I want to vomit. 2nd tri can't come soon enough!

Mightymom-that made me lol because my own deodorant is making me want to vomit and is is very lightly sented powder, but I am definately not going without it

 

[BklynChick74]

I thought my boughts of MS was bad - never so bad that smelling deodederant drove me crazy. As long as I eat some carbs the MS goes away - I have been walking around feeling like I have done a million sit ups and my stomach is sore as hell. just lightly pressing on it is killer.......The offical countdown to the end of bootcamp has begun. Can't wait to be done with it.

 

[padbrat]

Manu... you and me both... and Tour as well by the looks of it! LOL welcome to the hormones!!

Amanda constipation has hit me today big style! OMG it is no fun!

Tour I had to tell work when I had my bleed last week.... they have been very supportive and I am pleased I told my Boss. Once you tell your workplace they have to conduct a risk assessment and make reasonable adjustments in relation to pregnancy. Also they must give you paid time off for pregnancy related appts. So sometimes it can work in your favour... though it is a personal decision for you to make.

Hahhaa Robinson and Mighty.. is the nose working over time? I had this at the weekend, but the opposite... at the wedding I went to they served the most divine smelling red wine... I was literally drooling over the smell alone and was dying to have a sip... but I was good! No alcohol has passed my lips!

I have discovered that I am very particular when it comes to the huge amount of silver skin pickled onions I am devouring on a daily basis... tried co ops own and it just wasn't good enough! It has to be Haywards or nothing!!!

 

[EMTAmanda]

I am soooooo sick!!!!! I could barely sleep last night because of the nausea and changing poo diapers is NOT an easy task when queasy!!! Not to mention my nose is stronger than a blood hounds at the moment and I can smell EVERYTHING it's awful!!! My hubby works night shift and sleeps during the day and I just walked in our bedroom and almost hurled because I could smell him and it's not like he's funky smelling :-/

I'm also craving McDonald's chicken nuggets and fries like crazy but I know I don't need them! Oh the torture of trying to eat right haha!

 

[EMTAmanda]

Pad- te constipation is horrible!!! I have it so bad that yesterday I was cramping soooo bad until I finally was able to go to the potty I swear as soon as I get pregnant my digestive tract screetches to a halt!
