Welcome to the new ladies

Ctrygirl - love your comparison pics - you look like you're glowing in the most recent one

Yo-yo and mommaberry - glad to see the bleeding has slowed down/stopped!

Hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day in the UK yesterday

I'm so sorry if I've forgotten anything else. Had like 8 pages to catch up on!

Question: anyone cramping really badly? It gets to 7ish and I cramp all the time until I go to bed. Yesterday was weird because I cramped all day, and had really bad back ache :-/

Lol those weren't mine. Those were newlyweds. I've been really bad about taking weekly pictures.

So, my husband and I announced to our parents this past Saturday. It was really exciting!

I had my friend record it, and although she does film for a living she kind of did a rough job! That's okay, I'm glad it's recorded!

That's the video if anyone would like to see. I started balling the moment my mom opened her bag. Which is normal for me pregnant or not, I'm a big crier!

Surprisingly, I only got one negative response, but that was much later from one of my husbands married in aunts. Her first response was, "Was this planned?!? I mean you've only been married since November!" And then instead of congratulating us started asking one of our sister in laws when she was going to have a second baby.

Oh well, no one likes her anyway!


Congrats to everyone else and their new weeks/new scans/ and anything else that is going good! I haven't been able to really catch up on everything.

Cute! I teared up a little!

Wish I would've gotten my mother in laws response on video. We got her a sign that says "grandma and grandpas, where memories are made".. She looks at it and says "that's cute"and sets it down. I said, uh hello! Took her a minute

Praying the scan is perfect, yo yo!!

 

[newlywed2013]

I had to cancel my appointment, got some nasty weather last night. Plushubby went to work and accidentally brought my keys with him so I can't even get to work this afternoon...

 

[cntrygrl]

Lol Yo_Yo it was Charliekeys not you. You got it right.

Yo yo - fx for a great scan this week!!!

Newlywed - cute pics!!! I've been doing weekly pics and love it, it's helping the time seem to fly by!

About cramping - I had a lot of cramping in the beginning. It wasn't terrible and wasn't constant but it was like the start of menstral cramps and would last 10-20 mins each time a few times a day. As the pregnancy has progresed it's almost completely stopped but sometimes I get a bit of mild cramping after going to the bathroom. I think some of it is intestinal stuff thanks to te lovely number pregnancy is doing to my digestive system! I'd say if it's bad to definitely call your doctor and see what they say. Good luck!

Zephyr - thanks so much for the words of advice!

Doctors appointment was pretty frustrating yesterday. They don't do anything really. Urine test, checked my weight and blood pressure. Doc came in for all of 30 secs and said maybe 3 words to me. But at least they've schedule another ultrasound to determine for sure if they're identical or fraturnal. I can't imagine they're not fraternal as we were on fertility meds but I guess you never know! However that isn't until May 7! Ugh!

My blood pressure was crazy high yesterday which had us all concerned but it turned out I was just stressed over the doc visit. I always assume I'll be getting bad news and stress myself out. I checked myself later in the day and my blood pressure was back to normal so hopefully that doesn't become a major issue.

I see the midwife today so hopefully that is more positive and they decide to take me on. If not I think I need a new doctor! My fertility doc was great for fertility but does not have the personality a pregnant lady needs!

I've got my 16 week private gender scan to look forward to and then a 17 week appt with midwife. finally feel like i can relax and start enjoying this pregnancy.

I still havent brought a single thing for baby, trying to hold out till ive had this private scan.

Let us know how you get on at your scan 2moro. fx everything is fine and baby is looking healthy.

Cute! I teared up a little!

Wish I would've gotten my mother in laws response on video. We got her a sign that says "grandma and grandpas, where memories are made".. She looks at it and says "that's cute"and sets it down. I said, uh hello! Took her a minute

Haha, yeah my FIL didn't quite understand what was going on either. Apparently I accidentally gave him a cup that said "I love Grandma!"

Eventually he got it!


On the downside I got sick and I have no idea what to do to make myself feel better. I have a sore throat and it hurts to drink any fluids. I am thirsty, but it hurts so bad that I'm not able to get down as much as I need. Plus I'm dizzy and body aches.

Thankfully I still have an appetite! But if there is any tips on what I could do to make myself feel better, that would be great! Or am I just supposed to bitch it out when pregnant?

As i mentioned on my scan post babys nuch translucency test come back at 4.4, my bloods have now come back too. There is 1 in 280 chance baby has downs syndrome, i'm seeing consultant on friday then been reffered to a specialist hospital so they can do a scan on his heart, they are very thorough x

I would call your doc, especially since even fluids hurt. Any spots on your throat? Or redness and swelling? Could be something that needs antibiotics

I'm out of town visiting my mom, which is about 8 hours away from my doctor

I'm hoping it's just a cold, and if it gets worse by tomorrow I'm going to go to a place down here and see what they say. I'm just hoping there's something that can make me feel better. I'm drinking tea, but just like water it hurts my throat. I am able to drink milk though, and thankfully my pregnancy tongue absolutely loves it! But is milk as my main fluid good enough for a couple of days?
