PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[heart tree]

Seeing my family fills my soul. I don't live close to almost all of my family, so when I see them, I feel renewed. I hope the same goes for you. Sounds like it will be. There's just something about being at home where you grew up too.

chatty today!

davies and croy- happy sweet potato 18 weeks!

jenny - happy 12 weeks! cried about that story, how tragic. I haven't been told to stop folic acid but i will ask today. i take 4 mg of l-methylfolate daily (folic acid that's in a metabolized state basically)

fili - AF playing tricks? sucks!!! get to bd'in and don't tell him why.

have fun at your scans tomorrow bumpy and pretty! they will be fine although i know how nervous they can make you.

davies - you will laugh at this, so all that talk about shaving and keeping things civil down there got me to clean up last night. I kept thinking about how i can't cut myself and guess, what? got a little cut, just tiny but bled a tiny bit too. they hurt!

heart- again, so happy for you! when i walk through the store and glance at baby clothes (not ready to buy yet) i just melt. my eyes get all wide and i think, I get to buy that? i actually get to buy those little clothes?

that dolphin pic was funny as i was imagining it as a joke pic in a human uterus and thought it would make a funny facebook announcement. i've been thinking about possibly posting on facebook but I haven't even updated it or posted for over a year now I think? probably longer...

3x - i think you are going to be fine this pregnancy!

hi NSN!

embo - sounds like work went ok?

 

[heart tree]

Oh good Hopeful, I'm glad you will ask about the folic acid today. I'm curious to know the answer.

I've also been toying with the idea of making a FB announcement. I rarely post on it, but there are some friends that I want to know. They are people I don't really talk to otherwise, but I like them. I still can't decide.

I think I might actually be brave enough to look at baby clothes now. I still haven't been brave enough to look at them. Feeling braver now.

I can't believe you cut yourself! LOL!!!

Have a delightful scan. What time is it at?

 

[heart tree]

Oh and I forgot to mention that when I went to acupuncture on Tuesday night, she felt my pulse and told me she could tell me the gender. Of course I wanted to know. She said she's about 75% right. She said girl!

I googled it afterward and there has been research on acupuncturists being able to tell gender by the pulse. The official accuracy rate across the board is 83%. So there is actually a difference between boy and girl pulses!

I've read that you should be in the second trimester for them to be able to feel the difference though.

Okay gotta ask...does anyone ever get motion sickness when riding in a car? You know that moment when you're in the car and you know the motion sickness is about to come on? That's how I've felt twice today, not really nausea just like I was about to get nauseas at any minute. Last week and even when I threw up on Sunday it was mostly like I just all of a sudden felt sick, dry heaved/threw up and then I was right as rain and it was over and didn't happen again until the next day (that's how it was with Olivia for the 1st couple of weeks) so I'm thinking that maybe this time my m/s will kick in later or be different? Thing is in my head I know it's possible to skirt by with a few symptoms but tell that to me in 5 minutes lol!! Wonder if maybe some ppl do get less sickness when they have a different sex from their previous babies? Who knows, prolly just grasping at straws here...pray I feel like hell tomorrow!! I'd apreciate it, yall can just pray I get some of yalls sickness, I'd be happy to lighten the load lol!

I was so sick with my first son, I was constantly throwing up. But then with my second son I only threw up a couple of times. With #s 3,4,and 5 I never threw up, just nauseous. So hopefully that's what's happening with you.

Thanks for the reasurance guys! I am feeling a little more pma today as I also just had a bought of queaziness at 10 due to being hungry even though I had a nutritional breakfast shake at 8:30!! So I am feeling better about this pregnancy but I am just kinda scared to hope, which is soooo normal lol!! Oh my boobs have never hurt this much, not even with DD so maybe I'm just having different symptoms this go around! First I thought that maybe that meant a boy but I want another girl...even though DH so wants a boy so the family name don't die out...on the other hand, I can't imagine this one as a girl...with Olivia I wanted a boy but as soon as I got pg (from the first pos test) I could not picture having a boy...intuition lol!! Who knows!

Hope everyone is having as good a day as I am!!

 

[hopeful23456]

hi heart, my appt isn't until 3:00 central. that's cool the acu could tell the gender!

glad you are having a good day 3x! sore boobs are good

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Davies & Croy, happy 18 weeks you sweet potatoes!
Jen, happy 12 weeks! You made it to the 12 week mark!

I'm so happy I made it to sweet pea! I love these weekly milestones!

Heart, so happy for you having a girl!!! I hope I follow in your footsteps. I love all my boys, but a little girl would be so lovely!

 

[bumpyplease]

Thanks for all your sweet words and reassurance for tomorrow ladies! Love u girls!!!

Re folic acid I was told until 12 weeks as well unless you have been told to take extra. But I'm taking pregnacare plus which you take throughout the pregnancy and that included folic acid so I will still be taking it.

Fili sorry about AF how annoying hope u get some loving in and then she rears her ugly head!

Pretty my scan is at 9.30 do just before yours, glad we don't have to wait all day for it. Good luck sweetie you will be just fine

 

[heart tree]

Happy 6 weeks Mom2!!! Sweet peas are so cute!

Charmer, your symptoms sound good! Boy or girl, you are going to love it!

Hopeful, I hope you post some more pics! I love seeing scan pics!

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Bumpy can't wait to hear about your ultrasound, I'm sure it will go great!

AFM- I had my first full on day of MS. I spent all afternoon and evening on the couch whining! My hubby is thrilled though, usually he hates it when I'm sick and it makes him very grumpy, but in this case he's excited! He says he thinks it a good sign! I hope he's right. Can't wait for my next HCG level on Monday and my U/S on next Friday! Come on time, fly!

 

[heart tree]

Mom2, I'm wishing the time away for you. Yay for some sickness!

 

[hopeful23456]

Ok so I just brought 6 Easter eggs for Easter!! How to stop myself eating one?? Help!!!! X

Hopeful heart I still take folic acid! I just take regular one tablet a day when r we supposed to stop it? I'm scared to stop things! Aspirin is till 34 weeks I no that much! An vitamins are all way through right? X

 

[filipenko32]

Had ! Hubby was most obliging! No af yet just waiting for it now!!!

 

[heart tree]

I'm so tired now Davies, I can't stand it. But I'm so happy tired! My husband woke up a little while ago and the first thing he said was "good morning girls!" And then he came in for snuggles and lots of smiles. We're both so happy. I've never felt this happy.

I'm going to go to yoga and then take a big long nap!

I stopped baby aspirin at 9 weeks because of the bleed I had. I have folic acid in my prenatal vitamin but I take extra as well. I can't imagine it would do any harm to keep taking. I hope Hopeful gets some answers.

My doctor did warn me about getting too much B6. She said it can get stored in the liver. Same with fish oil. She said to get no more than 100mgs of B6 and 200-300 of DHA from fish oil. But we should take vitamins all the way through.

You need to have your DH hide the Easter eggs!!!

 

[heart tree]

Good work Fili!

 

[filipenko32]

Good work Fili!

I know! I'm efficient!

 

[filipenko32]

Is supposed to feel so good before your af? Don't usually bother much with it before af as don't see the point!! would have thought it wasn't as good! Interestingly today is exactly 27 days since my negative test so think period will be tomorrow.

 

[heart tree]

Fili, just out of curiosity, did you BD during a time when you might have OV'd? I can't remember. I just want to make sure you aren't pregnant. Cramping and no AF could point to that. I normally don't have sex before AF, so I don't know if it's supposed to be good or not! I hope she shows her face soon!
