Not so thrilled however that having waited for this moment for 16 weeks I now can't announce as facebook has gone down

A bit on the AWOL side trying to juggle everything life is throwing at me (including eating a bad sandwich at a cafe that just about did me in and made me nervous for my inner child - blurg). We passed the 10 week goalpost this past Tuesday, have our next ultrasound slotted for October 14th (Can't wait! Can't wait!), and the next Doc's appointment the following day, so it'll be a busy baby week, especially since we'll be telling my parents then too. We told my brother yesterday, and he's thrilled. They're having their first little one just a few months before us, so it'll be lovely to have our babies around the same age.

Prenatals: I've been on multis, folic acid & additional iron for the 2 years we were trying to conceive, then switched to prenatals as soon as we knew we were pregnant, but I throw in the extra iron sups when I haven't had enough in my diet - I ran low last time. It's hard when your tummy's off though.

Back pain: When I was pregnant with my son, we rented a TENS unit for a really decent monthly price, and it did wonders. They're safe for pregnancy and some women use them at the end for labor pains as well.

Very, very best of luck, clarity, and relief to all the upcoming scanees (and yay for your pink tinted one Vickie!) - fingers crossed tight for everyone, especially anyone having flashback fears from before, it's hard not to let the worry seep in. Every day brings us closer.

And off topic, but I could totally go for one of those banana dealies right now... slurp.

Miss Maternal I hope today hasn't been too hard for you, it sounds as if you have spent the day remembering Freya in a lovely way. Your picture sounds gorgeous - what a talented friend you have

Vickie hooray for team pink fab photos

[Vickieh1981]

Oh and I texted my Dad and brothers to let them know I am pregnant and having a baby girl and none even replied.

Missmaternal - I am so sorry. I missed your post. I hope today was as gentle as possible. I dreaded Isabellas due date, it's good once that's passed. Floaty kisses to Freya xxx

 

[MissMaternal]

BIG CONGRATULATIONS for your lovely little girl, i'm truly chuffed for you Vickie.xxxxxx

It's good to hear that other girls that are about as far along as me are also having back pain and big bellies already. Well not "good", but you know what I mean-it makes me feel normal. I just figured it was because I am overweight, but maybe it is normal already for this stage of the game. When I teach, I find myself leaning on the desk a lot! I finally told my Dean and department chair and students that I am pregnant so at least I can just be honest now!

Aww Sarah, I'm so glad that your day with Freya turned out lovely. The painting sounds beautiful.

Jenny-Sorry you are feeling so poorly. Hope you and Aaron both feel better soon.

Pink-congrats on good results but how rude! I am a bigger girl and I have always gotten pics at my scans!

The difference in advice about prenatals is amazing! My gyno had me on prenatals for a good 6-12 months BEFORE trying to conceive and I will be on them throughout pregnancy and probably during breast feeding.

Congrats on your good news too Deb!

Bumpy-congrats on surpassing 10 weeks! Big yay!

Welcome Laura and congrats! It is hard to relax and enjoy the pregnancy, we can all vouch for that, but we'll be here to help you through it!

Hurray for a baby girl Vickie! How exciting! Cool scan pics, although I must admit I had a little trouble telling what was what. Even if family isn't excited, we all sure are! Sorry they aren't more supportive sweetie, that sucks.
