Mid June and July Firecrackers Group Due June/July 2017!

[lesondemavie]

Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone! Lesondemavie, that's amazing that your baby is measuring ahead of schedule. I don't think that's ever a bad sign! My baby was measuring three days bigger than expected, but I know I'm an early implanter -- I have crazy-short cycles and got my BFP only three weeks after my period.

They didn't change my due date. My son measured ahead too and he was born right on his due date, so we'll see if the same happens.

Aphy, I'm so sorry. The headache and MS together is a terrible combination. I hope you feel better soon.

It's funny you say that second. I have super short cycles (avg 22 days) and found out at just 3 weeks from my LMP too. My BFP was at CD21 but 9 DPO, and based on my hcg I probably could have tested positive sooner, so definitely early implantation. What date did you go by? LMP just won't work for me at all, based on that I'm only 8+2. We know exactly when I O'd, because we were monitoring by ultrasound (+opk and bbt). Based on O I'm just 8w5d, but based on my RE's guess at my first ultrasound I'm 9w, and baby is measuring 9+1/9+2. I'm kinda leaning towards going with my RE's guess (which puts my EDD at 7.11 instead of 7.9), and just assuming my baby is just an overachiever

I'm just sticking to LMP! I figure it's the most convenient way to keep track and my baby is only measuring three days ahead, which isn't too far off, so I'm just going with July 9th. I can understand why you'd want to adjust your due date when you're a whole week ahead! That's awesome.

My son measured big for most of my pregnancy and then started averaging out by the end. When he was born, he was almost exactly the average size for newborn boys. The whole time I thought I would have a huge newborn! So I think sometimes babies that measure ahead will slow down with their growth near the end. But it seems like a great sign of a healthy pregnancy.

Sorry girls. Been off b&b a bit the pasy few days. Just been sleeping.. alot!!! And when not I feel mostly nauseus or hungry or both. Puged yesterday cause I slept so long then woke up soooop hungry and was nauseus then caughed (and for some reason that motion makes me gag a litle) and that sent the nause to overdrive and turned the stomach so i hurld like 5 times... not nice.

DH has been baking xmas cookies and the smell and them are icky to me.. and I usualy loooove them!!

 

[baseball_mom]

Can I join please? I'm 6w1d today. First scan is on the 22nd. Wishing it would get here sooner. I had some anxiety yesterday because I'm not really having any symptoms and not feeling pregnant so I took nothing First Signal and it was blazingly positive so that helped.

Welcome! When is your due date?

Sorry about that. I'm due 7/31.

 

[vaniilla]

I'm sorry to hear nausea and vomiting are getting worse for people, hopefully as you all approach second tri it starts to ease off.

 

[Girly922]

Sorry for those of you who are struggling with nausea and sickness.

I had my midwife booking in appointment today. Midwife is lovely. Now just to wait for my scan date to come through, then I don't see her again until February.

 

[rainbowsun]

I shouldn't worry if I'm cramping without spotting, right? I think I'm just worried because the nausea has died down, and I'm pretty sure I had this cramping with my son and it's just my uterus stretching, but it's a really unnerving feeling .

 

[Aphy]

Rainbow,at 7 weeks is perfectly normal to get cramping. It's your uterus stretching etc so as long as there isn't any bleeding everything should be ok. You are so lucky that your nausea has died down!

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Cramping is totally normal - I'm still cramping at 9 weeks x

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

First scan today went well... 130bpm measuring 7w4d.. So due date stays July 19... So in love with our peanut.

 

[Aphy]

Yay Gags,so glad scan went well and look at that cute jelly baby! Adorable!

 

[Ad0rkkable]

Okay so I'm going to have a little rant ... I go for my next scan on 12/12 I'll be 11W4D... After the scan I just want to announce that we are expecting. I'm tired of feeling like I have to keep this exciting news a secret. Hubby wants to still wait till the first trimester is over but my thought process with that is after Monday's appointment I'm not even going to have another doctors appointment until I'm into the second trimester so we aren't going to know anything different at 13 weeks... Unless god forbid I do start bleeding and even if something was to happen I would still want to cherish what time I did get to spend pregnant. I'm just frustrated, I just want to celebrate my little peanut!

Wonderful! So great to see that healthy baby.

Adorkkable, I think since you're the one who's pregnant, you should get to make the executive decision about when to tell people. If you feel confident and comfortable at nearly twelve weeks, that's a really typical time to tell people! Even the people who play it safe generally wait until twelve weeks. I understand your husband's reluctance -- I waited until fifteen weeks with my first because I just felt so uncertain. But you should enjoy your pregnancy and celebrate. Maybe after the appointment goes well, your husband will be caught up in the excitement and be OK with sharing.

 

[Girly922]

Great scan gag!! So glad your little peanut is doing well!

Ad0rk, is he likely to feel differently after he sees that scan? I know men can be cautious but maybe that will relax him slightly more? Or a compromise, is there certain people that you want to tell first? Maybe tell them after your scan but wait until 2nd tri to announce to everyone else?

 

[DobbyForever]

Gag Awww yay little peanut! Congrats!

Rainbow agreed so long as you aren't bleeding the cramping is normal

Adork, I agree. Everyone here tells at 12w, and that's just a three day difference. Especially since you aren't getting scanned again for a while. I like the idea of compromising by announcing to people who matter to you AND can keep a secret. If he doesn't want his family to know, don't tell them. My cousin told all of us the moment her pee stick dried, but they didn't tell her boyfriend's family until like 3 weeks later when she had her scan and found out she was 18w (she's a dumba** don't get me started). Right now, my best friend, cousins, and immediate family know but nobody else will find out until I know the sex.

Only went back two pages sorry ladies. I'm feeling better today but still like shit. Also just confirmed I will be a single mother so trying to process that emotionally.

 

[Maries_s]

Oh Dobby I'm deeply sorry to hear that.

Adork, I agree with everyone else. I think is ok to tell your closest family and you always can tell them not to tell anyone else. I already tell our closest family and they are not allowed to tell anybody else until I give them the ok.

 

[Thejoie]

Gagrl- what a great scan!!! Congrats!!

Dobby- I'm so sorry to hear that. You are so strong and this lil baby will be so loved

 

[Aphy]

Adork, I agree with what everyone else has said...you will be 3 days short of 12 weeks so I wouldn't think its too early. I hope DH comes around...

Dobs, I am sorry to hear that

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Wonderful news on your scan gags x

So sorry Dobby about being a single parent. Do you want to vent about it? X

 

[Lunabelle]

Congrats on all of your beautiful scans!

Rainbow I was cramping at 7 weeks too, but everything was fine. Like others said as long as you don't have spotting it's not a problem!

Sorry for everyone suffering from ms, my last few days have been pretty miserable too. This morning I had lasagne already at 10 as I could feel nausea coming and so far it has helped. Usually I have been sick a few times by now. Try to find your miracle cure so that you can at least have a break from being sick all the time.

I'm so sorry Dobby that you will be a single mum! That can sound like a very big responsibility, but luckily you will have your parents so close!
