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

Congratulations on all the cute scans! I can't wait to get mine next week so I could breathe a little better. I'm having anxiety every couple of days and am still testing to make me feel better. I guess without that scan confirming everything is ok is my problem.
 
Leso ty I wasn't sure if I just missed it. I'm so sorry. I know how you feel. My students are definitely questioning why I'm suddenly drained and eating all day. If you can hide stuff around and eat it on the sly definitely go for it. Is there a logic behind the ice cream before bed? I am starting to wake up feeling icky.

808 oooo fun excited to see if bean turns out to be a boy.

Joie we got your back! :)

I forgot who asked about sleep support but I'm starting to get achy and tossy. I don't have a preg pillow just tons of pillows on my bed. I find one behind my back, one under my head, and one ticked under my side/belly supporting my belly bloat definitely helps

I love my mom though I was ranting about how shitty I am feeling and she was like you need to take care of your baby so if you need anything just tell us.
 
Dobby it's priceless having the support from parents!

That christmas meal failure yesterday made me think how many of you are avoiding social gatherings due to nausea? My nausea is vicious and attacks with little warning, even if it is under control for most of the time. Or do you have any precautions to ensure you won't be sick? I think yesterday the only thing I could have done would have been to eat before going out, which kinda defeats the point of going for a big meal, even crackers did not help at that point. We have another gathering planned for saturday and I really want to go, but wonder if Im being silly even attempting going for a meal, if I should just play house elf until the nausea stops completely... :(
 
My nausea seems to be really behaving itself these past 2 days for which I am extremely grateful and hoping for all it's worth that it doesn't come back full force again which is all likely since I still have a couple of weeks to go until out of the first trimester. Fx! Fortunately I haven't had any food aversions etc but that might start later on. TMI but what I do have today is extreme crampiness,bloatedness and constipation. It's painful as hell! I am literally going to bathroom every 5 min cause as soon as I get up,it feels like I need to go again

So far the only "social" occasion I have skipped was the offer to walk around golf course with DH and friends while they played and since my nausea was bad,I said no. But went this afternoon for lunch with a friend and even managed to eat fish which I was skeptical about
 
As if I wasn't worried enough about this pregnancy, I started having red spotting this morning. Ugh. I'm hoping to make it through this pregnancy with a healthy baby and my sanity!

Probably is noting hun. But if is red you should call your doctor. :hugs:
 
I had my first appointment with the OB, after graduating from the IVF clinic, and baby looked good. The only issue was that the heartbeat was 189, and even though my OB said that was fine, it's freaking me out...
 
So I ended up just keeping cheerios in my jacket pocket and sneaking a few every 10-15 minutes. The kids didn't notice (I figured cheerios wouldn't be that coveted and if they were it's something that most kids can have). I think it worked. I was still nauseated and I almost threw up in their toilet, but I didn't. I think my staff noticed the munching a bit, but they didn't say anything. I kept snacking on cheerios and chips on my hour drive home, and then slowly ate ramen for dinner. I passed out on the couch, and then when DH woke me to go to bed I brought a pop tart up with me. I woke up at 12 and 2 and 3 and 4, but instead of just trying to go back to sleep and then ultimately vomiting, I took a bite of pop tart and then curled back up for sleep. Woke up this morning feeling ok, still just on the edge like if I miss taking a bite I'll vomit, but so far no throwing up. Hopefully I have this figured out now. It's a bit exhausting (I've trained myself to not snack so this is tough for me), but it's better than vomiting. I also usually eat really healthfully, but right now it's just whatever I can stomach/whatever makes me feel better.

So yea Luna after my experience yesterday it was definitely the empty stomach and snacking regularly could have helped. I think we just have to forget about eating big meals for now.
 
11 weeks and 5 days. Baby waved a few times and everything is looking really good. I've got a bad cold though and I'm just feeling so run down. Hope everyone and their bumps are doing well.

Cute scan weebles! Sorry you're suffering with a cold though
 
I called the doctor's office to let them know about the bleeding and they wanted me to come in. The doctor examined me and said she didn't see any active bleeding and my uterus was enlarged like it should be. I have an ultrasound in an hour and a half. She said because I'm only 7 weeks that the heartbeat might not be heard on the ultrasound so not to worry I would just come back in a week. I'm praying that when I go today that everything is ok and they can hear the heartbeat so I can stop stressing so much.
 
You must be so scared bbmom.. I hope everything is okay and I'm glad they're getting you in quick. I had an SCH that caused me to bleed/spot for weeks but they'll be able to see that on your scan. I think not seeing any active bleeding is a good sign.
 
Been having a cold and fever the past three days. Not been able to do what was planned this week. So relieved I was able to buy xmas outfits for the boys on sunday.
They are doing my bloodwork on friday, testing my bloodsugar. Will be fasting and that will be so hard! If I dont eat my ms roars it ugly head and I have puged cause I was hungry and didnt get food fast enaugh.
So looking forward to that.. or not.. Just hope the fever will be gone and I will feel better by then.
 
Baseballmom, I'm sorry you're dealing with this but I'm glad your doctor is being so proactive. I had bleeding around 6-7 weeks with my first. Bad cramping and fairly heavy bright red spotting. I never got a good explanation for why it happened, but thankfully it didn't happen again and all was well. I was shocked to see a heartbeat on the ultrasound! I'll be hoping your scan goes perfectly.

Rainbowsun, if your doc thinks it's a fine heartbeat, I'm sure it is! Think how many heartbeats doctors see through the course of a normal day -- they'd tell you if something was wrong. Heartbeats are at their fastest peak around 8-9 weeks, correct? And they can be faster/slower based on so many little factors.

Weebles, wonderful scan! So cute.
 
Ugh!!!!!! I just had a stink bug crawl down my hair, fall off my shoulder, and land on my sweater... Needless to say I freaked out.. A lot.
 
:haha: I'm sure whoever was with you found it very amusing to watch. Least it went into your sweater and not in your ear or face,yuck!
 
The ultrasound went great!! They didn't see any reason for the bleeding. The baby is fine. The heartbeat was at 116 so I still have to go back on the 22nd because they want it over 120. I could not be more thrilled that everything is ok! They did change my due date to 8/6 though which didn't surprise me because I know I ovulate late and it took me longer to get a positive test. So I'm more like 6 weeks. I need to figure out how to change all my apps based on a due date instead of a LMP date. Thank you all for the support!

Baseball- I'm so glad you updated and everything is okay!!!

Weebles- that's such a great scan pic!!!

I'm leaving the house in 50 minutes. I can't freaking WAIT to get this US done!
 
Enjoy your scan joie! It's amazing to see and watch the heart beating!
 
Excellent news bball! My LO's heartbeat was just 115 at 6+3. I was a bit worried and wanted it up over 120 at that time but the RE said anything over 100 was good for that early. Sure enough all was well. The heartbeat was 142 at 8+2 and then 175 at 9+2! Hoping that little heart just takes off next week like it did for me <3
