Puppy love the beard on your fella! My husband can grow an incredible beard but I prefer kissing a clean shaven man.

Hopeful....still waiting for twinny pics!!!

You so do not look chunky in your pic Puppy!! Thanks for making me feel skinny though, DH calls me "big un" he gave me that nickname when I was pregnant and it stuck! I hate it lol..."come 'ere big un, bring big daddy a drink" seriously??!!! He's so country lol! I feel like I'm married to AL Bundy in Married with CHildren...uhhhh!

Hey ladies, wow it took me a while to catch up! So nice to see the newbies and really hoping these are your sticky beans.

So bad news - my doc just called me back and the culture they took did show something that looked like a uti infection, they will know conclusively tomorrow so I have to call back. They called in a prescription for antibiotics so I could start them today but after hubs researched more about possible side effects he doesn't want me to start until we know for sure. I guess he found some research linking the medication to rare birth defects.

I guess the safer medication is bad for making yeast infections happen or get worse and because I have one of those too they want me on something else.

Geesh. Its hard to know what to do for the best. I want to be a good mama and don't want to put the baby at risk but I don't want to have the uti get worse (if that is what it is) and harm the baby either.

Any experience with this in pregnancy ladies who have been through this before? Do you know which meds you were on to fix it?

Trying to drink lots of water and praying that the results come back negative for the uti tomorrow so we don't have to use any meds.

Keep growing little avocado! We are trying to keep you safe xx

Heart - I wanted green eyes too - but that doesn't even run in the family lol!! You look petite next to him too! Gotta love big hairies lol!! What size shoes?

 

[heart tree]

Damn it Croy! I know UTIs and yeast infections are both very common in pregnancy. Surely there is something safe you can take? I have no advice though.

 

[puppycat]

Hahaha. I'm used to the fat jokes with how big I get in pregnancy! Atm I'm 159lbs and I've lost 14lbs (was 19lbs but I've put on a few in the last few days) due to extreme MS bordering on HG. I honestly don't know where that weight is though, possibly really dense bones?? I don't *feel* that heavy!

DH grew his hair and beard for like a year. He thought he'd get more acting jobs if he was hairy but he cut it all off last week in a huff - he hasn't had any jobs for a while. He keeps his goatee just trimmed and has shaved all his hair off. I don't have any recent photos of him.

3x, I was definitely petite then. That was this summer and was in the best shape of my life. I decided to get fit again after my losses. Unfortunately I ended up pregnant with an ectopic. That picture was taken about a month after my ectopic. I lost even more weight due to grief. I'm 5'6" and weighed about 122 there. I wear a size 7.5 shoe. Hubby is a size 12 I think. I'm about 133 now, but feel like 150 with this bloat!

 

[puppycat]

Croy they should be able to provide you with the exact antibiotics if they did cultures. Maybe hold off until they can tell you which EXACT antib you need to take?

I wasn't aware of any defects due to taking antib's, lots are deemed safe in pregnancy. I don't want to scare you with this next bit so please don't take it that way but I have heard of UTI's developing into kidney infections etc if not treated and that is a worry with regard to pregnancy. Make sure you discuss the issue fully with a Dr/MW before you decide hun

 

[heart tree]

Puppy, I love a goatee on a man. Super sexy! I tried finding facial hair pics of my guy but couldn't.

 

[puppycat]

I just realised you girls are in the US so shoe sizes are probably different - right? I mean 7.5 to me is BIG! lol.

Going to ask google...

 

[3xscharmer]

Puppy - you're going to HATE me...but I was 160 at the end of my pregnancy with DD... and that's how I got my nickname! I've heard somewhere that you don't gain as much weight in your second pregnancy - God I hope that's true lol!! SO your DH is an actor? Has he been in any movies? Or is it like commercials or t.v.?

Croy - sorry about your uti, hope it gets better soon!

 

[3xscharmer]

Heart - wow, you were really small, I haven't been 122 since I was about 18, I was 127 before I got pg with DD and am around 130-132 now, so we're the same size...and you're 15 weeks pregnant!!! Uhhh, now I'm hating on you lol! My feet are a size 8-9! I thought maybe the shoe size and height went hand in hand but yall got normal men lol!!

 

[puppycat]

Found a shoe size converter! 7.5 in US is 5 in UK - so teeny feet

3x DH fancies himself as an actor, he's been in lots of TV shows in the background, he was in ironclad and will be in the new Clash of the Titans film when it comes out - have attached a pic of him in that

 

[puppycat]

My beanie just kicked (I say that but it could've been a roll, punch etc, it was a big move tho!)

 

[3xscharmer]

Puppy - congrats on beanie moving!! Bet you're going to start feeling more reassured now! That is so cool about your hubby! Mine can't wait to watch the new clash movie, he's been watching previews forever...I'm so gonna be looking for your hubby when I watch it...but I have a feeling there are probably a lot of big hairy guys in that movie lol!!

 

[croydongirl]

Thanks ladies -
pup - yes, uti's can get bad so I want to treat if I have to, Ijust don't really have any symptoms now. They went away once i started to treat the yeast infection.
They want to put me on a general antibiotic which the doc said they prescribe for most of the uti infections, but I think I can wait another day to be on the safe side. I will start them tomorrow if i need to.

I am going away for a girls weekend leaving tomorrow night, didn't realise i would need an extra bad for all the creams and meds for the vag area. Geesh!! It's bad enough i can't have a drink all weekend! ha ha

I am loving all the family pics! It so fun to put faces to the names. I will try and find a good one to put up. My hubby's is a bit scruffy around the face but I don't think he is officially hairy! ha ha

 

[puppycat]

Yeh! I have difficulty spotting him in things and I know what he looks like! Lol. He is supposed to be in one scene talking to the Queen and he's pretty obvious so as soon as we've seen it I'll have to let you all know when to hit pause!

I suppose it's good that we fancy the pants off our hubbie's eh!

 

[puppycat]

Croy thrush is so horrid - I really don't envy you with that. I had it for the first time a few months back and never want it again!
