PAL - February 2013 rainbow babies

[waiting2012]

Welcom Bott! So glad your here! I will be having a c/section too..So with a edd of 2.22 I imagine that it'll be 7 days earlier than that...With my daughter she was due 10.18 and I had her by c/s on 10.11 (she was a whopping 8 lbs 9.3 oz)..

 

[Wiggler]

So how is everyone feeling about your new pregnancy? Since I got the 3+ today most of the feelings of doom I had have gone, the 3+ means my HCG is at least 2k and it never got that high with my MCs so actually feeling optimistic now x x x

 

[waiting2012]

Right now, despite feeling tired all the time, nauseas most of the time, peeing like I drank gallons of water--Its still doomsday here and will probably be till the 1st trimester ends... I've been through so many losses, I realize anything can happen and its hard to stay positive..At least here I can be excited at the moment--in the real world--hubby and kids don't know...2 days till I tell the dh, but I'm dreading that too..This is supposed to be a happy time...

 

[Wiggler]

Oh sweetie PAL is such a scary time. do you think hubby will take it OK? Try to stay optimistic hun x x x

Hows everyone feeling today?

I got a bit of a fright....got what felt like a period cramp for a second, went to bathroom, and had mild diarrhea(TMI i know). Is diarrhea normal during early pregnancy? Still no nausea, but i had a dream a couple of night ago about getting sick!

Also I think i got my first craving for red onion today?! Is that possible this early on(5 weeks approx)Don't normally go for onion. never had cravings with MMC pregnancy. has anyone else craved anything yet?

 

[Wiggler]

bowel stuff is normal, with one baby I had mega runs a lot to begin with, with one it was like someone had shoved a cork up there

Cravings are normal at any stage, they are telling you that your body needs something, I'm craving steak so need something from meat x x x

 

[PerpetualMama]

Wiggler- I'm craving steak too! After a month of May with so much red meat I didn't want to look at another steak or burger, now my mouth is watering so much just typing about it hahahah.

This will be my sixth baby (I hope!!), I have 4 from my first marriage aged 21 DD, 19 DD, 17 DS, and 14 DD, and a 5 yr old DS with new hubby. We lost the original 6th child August 1 2008, and now surprise! Something went amiss and here we are again . DD (19) just moved back home in early May after a failed attempt to spread her wings, and I JUST got my acceptance into the 2 year ultrasound program May 15th for a September start-2nd attempt to get in and highly competetive program . I have NO idea how I'm going to do it all once the little one arrives, but I'll tackle that issue when it gets closer. Gonne rolllll with it

Sarena, my belly has been doing a lot of that messed up more frequent crampy stuff lately, too. Hormones are wreaking havoc with my whole system.

 

[PerpetualMama]

Waiting: I'm praying this will finally be your take home baby. I cannot even fathom so many years of loss.

 

[waiting2012]

Thanks Ladies... Yes its been hard on us, when the kids were younger it was extremely hard to explain each loss.. Now my 17 yr old doesnt say a word and my 11 yr old had asked me everyday if I was still having a baby... My husband, God love him, doesnt wear his emotions well.. He doesnt mention our past losses and with my hormones running rampit, Im very teary and I dont want to spoil a nice surprise by telling him were pregnant and that Im scared that I will end up with yet another loss.. I am trying to stay positive, and its nice to have ladies who understand to express these worries to..

As each day passes, thats one day closer bringing our rainbow baby home! That is def something to look forward to!

Now about the bm's. Lol.. I have a bit of IBS and usually, ecerything I eat, well comes out rather quickly.. but right now- things are making a very SLOW exit..
I know both are normal... So I wont be to surprisedif it goes to running fast again..lol


Hope everyone is having a good night!"

Hi

I'm kinda new here - I had an introductory post over in the TTC forums but a quick recap is - I'm here as I was searching for a place I could talk to others and vent in a group somewhere that my fiance and friends were not already a part of. I've had several losses, 1 early mc, 1 mmc, 2 chemical pregnancies and my beautiful boy was stillborn at 22 weeks in January this year. We've been ttc since the doc gave us the all clear in April, and I just got a BFP!! at 12dpo today! Going by LMP that gives me a due date of feb 24th 2013.

Sticky baby dust to all

Are any of you ladies getting bad cramps after doing simple things such as cleaning etc. Ive just been doing the dusting bit of bending a stretching here but nothing strenous and i started getting cramps i sat down and they went after 10 mins. Yesterday i was going upstair on the bus on the bus while it was moving so had to pull myself up the stairs and once i sat down i had really bad cramps for about 15 mins they just felt like bad period cramps. Does anyone else get this after doing things? I dont remember any of this eith my last 2 pregnancys.

 

[hope88]

Welcome jaxons mummy and congrats on ur bfp. Feel free to vent as much as you like here . I know what u mean its nice to be able to talk in a place where family and friends arent part of plus added bonus that we are all going threw the same thing with similiar backgrounds. Wishing u a very sticky bean and a happy and healthy 9 months

 

[waiting2012]

Welcome Jaxon!

Hope- That is probably the stretching the uterus is doing to make room.. Since your body has been there/done that- you will notice things like cramps a bit more.. Thats what I think hun..

 

[Jessica28]

It is so scary isn't it? I had my first loss (first pregnancy) in January. I was thought to be 12 weeks but the baby only measured 7.5 weeks.

I am 6 + 1 today and I am so worried. I don't have any morning sickness, no nausea or tender breasts and that makes me worry even more.

 

[LilyLee]

Not doing anything differently at all, I do feel a bit different this time tho. I think more fatigued and less sick (so far) but last time my hcg was really high (higher than normal range - although I have no idea if that has anything to do with whatever caused the mc) so hoping things are more 'normal' this time.

Work is really busy at the moment, which is good in that it's taking my mind off things, however bad because I'm so exhausted

Will this be your first bub? (this question is for everyone)

Welcome to all the new february mommas!

Lily - Your symptoms sound so much better from your last experience. I noticed that you are running/exercising. I was working out a lot too but I stopped because I'm worried about m/c. Are you working out the same or taking it a little easier when you run? I really want to go back to the gym!

This is our first bub after 3 losses. Fingers crossed!!!

I'm definitely taking it easier, but if I did nothing I'd go crazy I'm trying to keep up running - just making sure I don't let me heartbeat go too high, and swimming too. I do a bit of mountain biking but I've given that up for now

I have my fingers crossed for you that this will bevyour rainbow xx

 

[PerpetualMama]

Jaxon's Mummy...welcome! We're each here venting and fretting and looking for reassurance, while the rest of us support and encourage as best we can. I'm glad you found us, and I'm so sorry for your losses!

 

[PerpetualMama]

Hope: I have been getting sharp twinges, like this morning when I sneezed, and yesterday at work with bending and stretching, but they've passed as quickly as they've come on. Now i cross my legs tight and bend a little whe I sneeze. I'm quite a sight! People seeing me must think I'm afraid to pee my pants

 

[hope88]

Perpetualmama. Oh yes i feel your pain with the sneezing omg does that hurt. I found bending over or if you are laying down to curl into a ball before you sneeze help and same with coughing. I even get the same pain if i shout.
