November 2013 Babies!

[missjenn]

Ah, same day appointments!!! I just wish I was getting a scan like you!!!

Im in New Brunswick Canada...where are you located Jen?

My parents have already given us a change table....a combo bassinet/playpen/change table...a ton of outfits....baby monitors...diapers...a baby carrier....a diaper bag....bottles...they have been a huge help!! The zellers stores here closed down and they had everything 75%-90% off!

Wow! Sounds like you are already set! I haven't really bought anything. I did get three pregnancy books and made little cousin onesies (my SIL is due 1 month before me) I am thinking about purchasing some fabric to decorate the nursery and get some wall paint, but nothing else until I'm much further along. I have a fabric addiction so I can't really stop myself

Cute outfits!!! That's cool that you and your SIL are due one month apart!

I havent made any purchases myself yet...I told my family not to buy anything until I was 3 months but my parents are so darn excited and because of the store closing sales.

I was pretty bored today and started thinking too much, so I found an u/s place and went and had a pregnancy verification done. The good news is I'm definitely pregnant, the bad news is that since my cycles are pretty irregular and long, it looks like I'm only about 5 weeks instead of 8.

We couldn't see the baby- since they only do abdominal ultrasounds all we could see was the sac. When I go to the dr next week for my appointment I'm going to tell them about it and see if they'll let me have an early ultrasound to date and see how far along I really am. I'm hoping they'll say yes!

Hi Luz! Just curious, when did you get your first positive pregnancy test?

 

[missjenn]

Just trying out the signature.

Hi Luz! Just curious, when did you get your first positive pregnancy test?

Last Tuesday. I was over a week late based on my 'normal' 35-45 day cycles. Based on my last start day 2/8 I should be 8 weeks on Friday of this week. I'm not really sure about any of this because my first pregnancy was made possible by clomid. Any advice or insights anyone has would be so helpful!

I signed up for a second us tonight, this one is at the hospital instead of in the mall so I'm hoping it will be a little more professional and will give me more information as to exactly how far along I really am.

 

[missjenn]

Hmmm....that does seem off....I have no experience with clomid though and Im pretty sure I know when I ovulate. I always thought though...that regardless...it started on the first day of your last cycle...so yeah...that's odd. I wish I could offer you more insight. I'm hoping I am actually father along than I am...lol...but I doubt that's possible since I have a clock work cycle.

Survey: anyone having food cravings and aversions?!?

I was mostly vegetarian for almost a year before I got pregnant. Now.... I want ground beef constantly! Weird and yummy! I can't even look at chicken which I usually love

 

[luz]

I really have a strong aversion to sausage and eggs in breakfasty type foods. I've been craving Mexican food, but haven't really given into it yet.

 

[missjenn]

Chocolate! And I never ever ate chocolate before!

 

[AnnaSaRa]

Hi ladies... congrats to all the new ones I see on here! Welcome

I have all sorts of aversions, not to much cravings. Mostly aversions to chicken, meat and all kinds of fish (things I used to love before).
Luz I am literally the complete opposite of you... I am actually craving (well able to eat is more like it) egg breakfast sandwiches but the thought of Mexican food turns my stomach to no end. So funny!

Ah, same day appointments!!! I just wish I was getting a scan like you!!!

Im in New Brunswick Canada...where are you located Jen?

My parents have already given us a change table....a combo bassinet/playpen/change table...a ton of outfits....baby monitors...diapers...a baby carrier....a diaper bag....bottles...they have been a huge help!! The zellers stores here closed down and they had everything 75%-90% off!

Im in Chicago and that is SOOOO great about all the stuff your parents have gotten you. I think I scared our families a little when I told them to take it easy until 12 weeks lol. But Im slowly getting more excited

Those are sooooo adorable! Have you ever tried selling them? Id be super interested

It sounds like everything is ok, and your cycles are just off a bit. Im thinking about you. Let us know how your second scan goes

Ive been vegetarian for about 10 months now and I want hot wings like you wouldnt believe. I eat really healthy and Ive wanted nothing but garbage and greasy food. Its so terrible. I used to have an apple for breakfast, now I cant stand apples, a salad for lunch...cant do that anymore. Ive had a hard time finding healthy alternatives with my food aversions, but its coming, suggestions are always welcome!


AFM- My scan is in just a few short days and Im getting soooo excited! OH and I are getting ready to get a new townhouse which is also exciting and scary and I cant seem to get enough sleep!!

And time for my TMI question of the moment: Im having a ridiculous amount of CM, it egg white to white...Im freaking out a bit, no odor or itch or anything just...TONS of CM. Im really hoping this is normal.

 

[wantb502]

Rockinmom: I definitely don't sell them because I stole the idea off etsy! But I would be willing to make you some for a minimal fee (just enough to cover the cost of the onesie and fabric) tell me the states and the colors you like and I would be happy to whip some up! I am not professional, so you can't be too harsh

I know all about the eating poorly problem. All I want it junk and greasy food too, I ate extremely healthy before. It's frustrating and I know my heartburn is going to start getting me.

As with the CM, I definitely notice and increase and as far as I've read... It's completely normal. I suppose as long as its not itchy, have a bad odor, or yeast like... I think it's just the increase in hormones.

Geez! I had none of it EVER when I was trying to get pregnant! Now, like you, I have tons. I may actually have to start wearing thin panty liners it's that's bad! watery....sticky....egg white....just white....all of it and lots.

 

[luna_19]

You all are making me feel nauseous with all this food talk

Lots of cm is normal, mine had been weird kind of stretchy/creamy since right after I o'ed

 

[therealdalia]

I am now 6 weeks/3 days pregnant and feel like I have a massive hangover. I am also showing, but I can't tell if it's baby or bloat! Any thoughts?

Bloat honey! Baby is just the size of a little pea at 6 weeks.

Bloat, but I am soooo bloated! I'm probably as big now as I was at 4 or 5 months with my first!

As for my scan... I went and the lady said she wouldn't do it without a doctors order. I was so frustrated becuse why even have that as an option on your website if you won't do it? I called my dr today and they said after my 1st appointment they will send me for a dating scan to find out how far along I am and what my due dates will be. My appt is set for Tuesday afternoon so I guess I wait a little longer in suspense!

 

[wantb502]

I feel like in showing too... Showing bloat that is!

I've never had a lower abdomen bloating for so many weeks in a row! Shoot, I never have it ever like this ever! It's bad and in ready for it to go away. We have a "jeans" day at work and I'm thinking about wearing scrubs so I don't feel so fat. Blahhhhh.

 

[wantb502]

Hello ladies! Hope you've had a great weekend! Mine was filled with hanging out with friends, horse racing, and basketball! Now I'm exhausted.
Luckily I haven't been very nauseous at all this weekend which is great, but it had me a little nervous. I hope everything is going okay. Think I've been so busy, I haven't had time to have any symptoms.

How did everyone's weekend go?! Any new symptoms or discoveries?!?

 

[luz]

This weekend my boobs have all of a sudden gotten SO sore- and I'm constantly nauseated. I hate throwing up though so I try to keep busy enough that I don't think about it- that seems to help!

 

[missjenn]

My boobs are so big I had to go out and buy 3 new bras!!!!

Still feeling great though....I have my first real initial baby appointment tomorrow at 1:30!
