um, has your DH ever been pregnant? is he a doctor? then how would he know?

our bodies are totally raging with hormones. i NEVER eat breakfast, ever. i'm just never hungry before 10am. in the past week, i've been waking up starving, like if i don't eat, i might pass out.

the human body is a wondrous, mysterious and beautiful thing. noone knows 100% exactly how it works. so go tell your DH to get a medical degree (and a vagina) before he tells you what you can and cannot feel.

Just wondering... is it normal not to have an appointment until 8 weeks? I called my OBGYN and told them I got a positive pregnancy test. I was hoping I'd get a blood to confirm it but nope, just an appointment for a month from now. Is this normal?

My doctor's office said they wouldn't make me an appointment before 7 weeks and in the UK my booking in appointment was at 8 weeks. I did get to meet a midwife before then just to get a lot of pamphlets and books though.

My DH is claiming it way too early for me to be feeling anything, but I'm waking up in the morning ravenous, and if I don't get food soon, I get very snippy. If I don't get food within an hour or two, I totally lose it. anyone else feeling like that?

lmao! I'm the same way about food. We were at a birthday party on Saturday & I was tired, hungry & ready to go (we had been there entirely too freaking long). I kept telling my DH I was ready & he just wasn't getting the hint. Finally in front of all my friends I looked at him & said "Look, I'm pregnant, tired & starving we need to go now before I lose my crap"!!! My friends all burst out laughing saying yep, she's hungry!!!

lol.... My DH thinks he's an expert because he has 2 other children. As I explained to him in a not so sweet way on Sunday. "I'm not your ex-wife. I'm not 24 years old & completely healthy. I'm me, your current wife, I'm 36 years old, I've had a miscarriage & other female problems which you knew all about that make my pregnancy high risk. DO NOT EVER COMPARE ME TO HER EVER EVER AGAIN!!!" I think he may have gotten the hint or at least I really hope so!

Thanks ladies, I feel lots better about the drop in temp this AM. I am officially no longer temping! My overly analytical self has more important things to over analyze

I think youll find some relief in this decision chick...think you made the right call!

 

[sarahuk]

I have a question for everyone: I have hypothyroidism so do you think I should see a high risk ob? Some people have been recommending it and I wanted to know what you all think

when I was in the UK the only difference was that I occasionally came in to see the Consultant rather than just a midwife. when I mentioned to my OB that we were trying he promptly sent me across the office for a blood test to check the levels. I'm sure they plan on doing it throughout the pregnancy. As long as your normal OB knows about it and it treating it proactively then I don't see why you would need a different doctor. I'm only on 75mg and they never had to increase it last time.

I have this too and as far as ive been made aware, its as simple as having your bloods monitored very regularly throughout the pregnancy x

As soon as I got my BFP, I stopped temping.. I knew I would start freaking out.

I have been cramping a little today, and am nervous as well since AF would of been due on Thursday/Friday.. so I keep checking lol.

I think thats the worst part of all this...we so want it that we start testing early. Then we have the horrible slow wait to get to af date!

Dont let the cramps fool you though. Ive had them for days, before af, during the time it was due, and even the days after Hear its very normal!

X

 

[sarahuk]

Hello ladies! Please add me to May 8. I've had three BFP's over the last three days. Still having cramping but I think that's due to it burrowing in, or at least I hope.
I went to see my obgyn 6 days ago (I only met her once before as I moved after getting married) and asked the nurse to give me a test just in case, and when the ob arrived she went berserk on me for asking and said there was no way I could get a positive before September 8. Ha! Showed her! Now I know I need to go find a new obgyn fast. One who won't act like a jerk to a first time ttc like me. When you call and say you have had a bfp, do they all make you wait til 12 weeks? I feel bad that will be my first time meeting my new doc.
Congrats to all!

Congrats!

i think maybe i got a good DH then, because that man pampers me to death, and never says a negative word. We've been together for over 4 years, and he's never lost his temper with me. And goodness, I can lose my cool with the best of them
He has given me foot rubs anytime I asked, and said that even though I'm acting a little crazy, he thinks it's adorable.
i love that man for lying!!!!! Haha!

Im with you My OH treats me like a princess too...and tbh its been worse since I had my BFP. Today, he flat out refused to let me go with him to walk the dog..I "need to rest"...I mean come on...women are pregnant and work and do all sorts of stuffs but its too much for me to walk my damn dog?! Talk about wrapping me in cotton wool lol.

He made me spend two solid days in bed when af was due because I had the tiniest, and by tiny i mean miniscule, brown cm. I explained that it was probably normal but that there was nothing i could do at this stage to stop a mc anway..but no...only time i was allowed up was to read lol.

Im sensing im going to be getting fed up of it after a couple of months x

It is actually good for you to go on a walk!! That is funny. I think my DH is still grasping that my responses to things are different now... my sense of smell is starting to get stronger, so he will get it when I smell something and go hurl...

Haha I was like this BEFORE pregnancy...lol always loved my food, always hungry every 2.5 hrs. At the moment need too more cos feel v.sick when hungry and grumpy.

Yay! Another one due May 8th!!! Me too! Congratulations xxxx

I reckon he will get it even quicker if that hurl is over him x

Pump even a fraction of all these ne hormones coursing through your body into him and he'd take that back right quick!!!

 

[sarahuk]

Imagine what hes going to be like when he realises that your boobs are soon going to be out of bounds for a while...see how he likes those apples! x

 

[BeccaMichelle]

Okay I think I'm caught up now! Congrats to all the newbies!! I tried to do names but got confused and lost.

My morning sickness has hit, but I'm actually pretty thrilled so far. Last time it was every waking second and so far this time it's only after 10pm at night! I can totally handle that. The toddler is in bed and I can just double over in the shower until bedtime! score. lol

Anybody else got the dreaded ms yet?

 

[jtink28]

i'm only 4w2d, but no morning sickness so far. that's normal, right? my cramping has died down for the most part, and my boobs are tender, but not ridiculously so.
i'm just tired.

i want some more symptoms! i want to be reassured!! this is all normal?

haha, my mom told me today that when i feel like crap, i'll be wishing for the early days when i didn't have any symptoms. i have a feeling she'll be 100% right.

so i'm not testing anymore, and not stressing! maybe i'll even take a bubble bath and buy a new magazine tonight!
