brandi - tough decision we are here is you want ot chat xxx

still not great withte tonsilitiis and i feel op drained not sure if it's the tonsilitis or pg feeling nausea but now the worrying has set in debating going for early scan goingto have a look round for ther cheapst

hope everyon else is ok and not feeling / being too sick

 

[meow951]

Quick question girlies!

I've got my scan tomorrow and going by ovulation i'll be 7+1 and i got my BFP at 9 DPO so i didn't implant late.

In theory i should see a heartbeat tomorrow if all is ok shouldn't i?

 

[new_to_ttc]

meow, they say the heart beat is visable from 6-8 weeks. Try not to worry, they wil explain everything to you during the scan, and if you have any questions ask them the sonographers are usually better than the doctors and more willing to talk and explain! Will be thinking of you tomorrow hun

Brandi what a hard decision you have to make. Do you have to make it now? Cant you try again with your husband, go through whatever you need to and pretend like the baby isnt in question, then when you truely know what you want from your marriage you can make a decision about the baby. As Becky said we're here if you want to chat or just someone to listen

Becky, hope you feel better soon. Tonsillitis takes a few days to improve, you should start to feel better early next week

Im undecided if I prefer MS nausea or all day throw up if I eat lol Least once I been sick I feel ok lol - no pleasing some people lol When do the more pleasant symptoms kick in??

 

[Rmar]

I'm wondering when that pregnancy glow kicks in, too. I've been having little bits of chuck in my mouth but it's not full on throwing up so it doesn't leave me with that satisfies feeling afterwards. My brother cooked bacon, today, and I am a vego so the smell wasn't too nice before but now it just makes me want to vomit. I really shouldn't be complaining as I am having way more symptoms this time round so I hope it's a good thing.

I know that even if things didn't work between me and my husband, as much as I want and love this baby, right now is not the right time. I'm in between houses, not finished school, and while I'll be finished the theory portion by the time the baby is born, I will still have a placement to finish. I really don't have the money to afford another child and my daughter is still undergoing TONS of genetic testing still. She just had an EEG two weeks ago, is having more genetic testing on Wednesday, has another appointment at the end of October, an MRI in December, another geneticist appointment next July, and will probably end up with a few more in between. It really just isn't the right time.

I have found adoptive parents whom I highly respect and whom I know will love this baby and not give him or her any less love, encouragement and support than I would. One of the dad's is an obstetrician, so finally, for once, a doctor will be present at one of my childrens' births, and the other dad is a special education teacher. They are both aware of the possibility of this baby having my daughter's same condition and are both willing and ready to embrace it. We are going for an open adoption, and I will be allowed as much access and visitation with the baby as I'd like, which is wonderful. I do not want this child to feel as if I don't love him or her, or that I abandoned him or her. I am considering starting a blog about this journey, but only if D and M agree.

Brandi it sounds like you've taken a lot of time to think this through. You are a brave woman, I know it couldn't have been an easy decision. We're all here for you to lean on and will continue to be

AFM- feeling less cramping today, and power walked for an hour on the treadmill (kept my heart rate below 135). I've noticed that everyday around 3-4pm I need a nap. Anyone else?

Meow- good luck tomorrow, can't wait to see pics!!

 

[Duffy]

Good morning ladies, oh left to get donuts and juice for breakfast yummy then I'll be hitting the treadmill after for my morning workout NO morning sickness actually if I did't have a test or no period that said pregnant I wouldn't know I was pregnant *laughter*..................... I'm trying to not obsess about it and keep focused on Karissa, during my pregnancy with her I clung to each week I turned another day further along and I don't want to do that again want to live life with her lol.

Brandi, hugs sweetie.

 

[lisaf]

meow - on an internal, you should see the hb at 7w1d ... its a bit iffier on external scans but might be possible?? (not sure)

AFM - SIL is totally bugging me, lol... she's super excited and happy but asking all the wrong questions if that make sense.... and being a little too nosy about my medication decision and pushing me to try cutting back etc and going on disability etc... or getting by on less medication etc.... just not something that she can understand or tell me what to do, you know? (and not like she's made the best choices for herself either)... ok rant over...

 

[ttcfurrever]

Duffy- now I want some donuts, LOL.

Lisa- don't let her get to you. You know what's best.

I'm hoping they'll do internal. They tried external last time but because baby measured smaller and they couldn't see a heartbeat they did an internal just to make sure.

Everyone thinks that they know what's best once you get pregnant! Try and ignore it lol, easier said than done though x

 

[Duffy]

Duffy- now I want some donuts, LOL.

Lisa- don't let her get to you. You know what's best.

The chocolate/maple donut was yummy mmmmm cold sandwhichs for lunch and homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner with hot rolls YUMMY. What everyone else having for dinner?

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I had a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

I have felt so nauseous and vomitty all day long that I've actually avoided eating. Not good, I know, especially when I'm trying to build a healthy baby (or two) for D and M. So we ended up going grocery shopping, which my body and baby didn't like. I kept gagging at the sight of food, so the minute I pulled into my driveway, I got out of the car and bolted for the toilet. Right after I threw up, I felt so much better and was able to eat a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I'll probably eat another bowl later.

 

[lisaf]

Brandi - I find I cannot stand the grocery store when I'm hungry... I just gag so easily when hungry that I can't be near anything that even slightly grosses me out like raw meat or the fish counter.
I need to buy more snacks so I can get something in my stomach when its empty and making me feel sick... but DH keeps eating them all Someone want to tell them that I'M the pregnant one? (though he looks more like it than me with his big belly )

 

[meow951]

My OH's like that. I think he's getting sympathy symptoms!

Only 3 hours EEKK!!!

 

[Rmar]

Oh my gosh. I keep thinking that my pregnancy nausea has kicked in but then it gets to the next day and I look back and think it was nothing compared to today. I really really wanted to vomit everything, today. Just to let the sick feeling go. If I thought yesterday was nothing compared to today, what will tomorrow be like? My nausea has gone away a bit but it has left me with some super heartburn. It feels so hot that it is cold. Like a bunch of ice sliding up and down my throat. Ahhh!

 

[new_to_ttc]

I found my MS cure.... for today anyway lolol I started the day by eating grapes and my heavy nausea subsided about 45 minutes later, and now I actually feel almost human lol

Thinking of you today meow.. I hope all goes ok and they do an internal so you get to see the little flashing blob

MS seems to be griping at us all now ... the joys of pregnancy Im STILL waiting for these more pleasant symptoms hehe

 

[ttcfurrever]

I had a rotisserie chicken avocado salad with balsamic vinaigrette. It was so good. Well, we just got back from seeing my DR. He warned before we started the scan that because I am so early we may not be able to see anything at all. He did a transvaginal and we saw a tiny black spot that he said is most likely where my bean will be. What we could see clearly was a HUGE cyst (from the clomid), but he didn't seem to be worried by it at all. Next I went to the lab to have my HCG level drawn, he'll call tomorrow with the results. If my HCG is over 1500 we should have seen something and he'll start looking for an ectopic. I'll be praying so hard tonight!

Mornin' girls,

Well the brown spotting has been on and off all weekend, I had a little bit of red last night and now back to brow. I think its cause I over did it yesterday tho. I don't want to gross you out, but it is more present and starts, when I have a poop .. you know, having to push. Has anyone had that before? In between that, it's not really there ..

I get to go back to my vampire OB for another blood test this morning at 10 to get a comparison to Thursdays levels. Please PRAY it's going up. I'm going to ask what my levels where at on Thursday. I would have been 5+4 last Thursday. 6+1 today. So my levels on Thursday should have been around 5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml (according to a website) He will be calling me tomorrow afternoon to let me know if levels are going up. If so, I get another scan in a week or so.

Fingers crossed, eh? Am beyond nervous.

Brandi ~ Hope you can come to the right choice for you and your family.

Meow ~ Good luck with the scan, Chica x

new-to-ttc ~ I've just got the 'peeing 345 times a night' symptom .. I'll trade you for the ms one

Um, what's AFM?

Duffy ~ lawdie, normally the mention of donuts would have given me a hankering for them, but I think I just threw up in my mouth a bit lol. Ah hormones.

Lisa ~ Gah, family!!

Has anyone got the 'pregnancy stuffiness' yet? Gah, it showed up over the weekend. This is the worst symptom imo, cause you always feel like you gotta blow your nose.

ttcfurever ~ Thinking of you chica, let us know!

 

[meow951]

Everythings ok!!!

Saw little bean with heartbeat. On the picture the top "blob" is baby and measures 9.9mm so nearly 1 cm lol and the bottom "blob" is the yolk sac. He couldn't get it with just baby but i don't care because everything is ok so far!!

They said my dates are spot on and my due date is 1st May at the minute but i'm going to stick to 2nd of May until 12 week scan.

Fingers crossed now that beanie survives

 

[Chaos]

yay! Stick beanie!!
