Hi ladies!

Sorry I've been away for xmas and couldn't get online at my parents as their internet was down. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and got some lovely presents

Lilesmom all your course choices sound interesting, I'm sure you'd enjoy whichever one you choose My favourite colour is purple! What is yours?

Babybemine and Katy - got everything crossed for you guys, I hope you get some good news soon. TBH this pregnancy I had virtually no symptoms in the 2WW. Only thing I had was AF-type cramps around 12-13 dpo, but they only lasted a few minutes at a time which was unusual.

AFM well the symptoms are starting to kick in, but only nausea. I've not been sick, but have been feeling quite sick for the last few days. We came to my family for xmas then were supposed to go to DH's family but I couldn't face it. We were meant to stay with his sister and fiance, but they don't know I'm pg and I couldn't bear to pretend everything was ok. So DH went alone and I stayed with my parents (who do know I'm pg) and just been chilling. Feel a lot better today, but I know it will come and go!

Lilesmom I think if you have that many nieces and nephews you should def wait to see what goodies are going to be handed down to you! Oh and good luck for your scan on the 24th. That is the day I turn 10 weeks so don't know if to get a scan that day too or a couple of days later.

Hope everyone is doing ok and had a nice xmas break xxx

Hi guys

Sorry been feeling yucky the last few days and so tired! Lilesmom I'm kind of glad to jear you weren't ever sick as it worries me that I haven't been! I know it is silly but I was never sick with the other two. Yes have started to nibble on crackers and veg sticks and things when I feel bad. Today I had to go back to bed, even tho I didn't get up til 12!

How is everyone else, what news? Any BFPs???

Happy new year to you all xx

 

[lilesMom]

smiler dont worry about not throwing up ,be happy nausea i got a lot but never more xxxx
hope u dont get it too bad, cos nausea can be yucky too xxx but is reassuring xx

im good , had nice new yrs. very quiet but nice ., just how i like it these days
bub has moved up, she is closer to my belly button now, takes pressure off my baldder which is good but causing me some heartburn
im feeling movement differently now, its nice seems to be inbursts after i eat
sleepy bubs otherwise heehee could be good later

babybemine any news hon, hope ur good xxx

hi and happy new yrs to all my ladies xxxxx

 

[babybemine]

took a wallmart brand early pregnancy test in the morning on the 31st and a clear blue early pregnancy test the evening of the 31st and both were BFN.

Occasional light cramping as I have had off and on all cycle with a mild nausea and headache with heartburn.
AF due soon. average cycle is 28 days which is tomorrow. But if it goes like last cycle then it will come in 3 days. Just want to get a move on so I can start with next cycle.

DH has SA tomorrow so we shall get some answers by the 8th as to what our next course of action will be.

 

[lilesMom]

its yucky being in limbo, still keepin fx for u babybemine.

went to spa today , my xmas pressie , was lovely

 

[babybemine]

Still no AF. Not going to test again though. Have had weird light achey cramping on and off for most of the two week wait which has been weird for me. Heartburn has been very crazy.

I am doing a little mental talking to the positive thought that I am prego each time I am achey and crampy. I mentally say hang on there little one and make me your mommy. Shortly after the cramps subside.

Hey all, sorry Ive been missing! Was so busy over Xmas and then went away for 5 days over new yr and had no access to computer. Been trying to catch up on all posts so here goes!

Smiler keep positive! I know how hard it is! But it can and will happen for you! You're going to be okay! Keep PMA!!!!

Babybemine, hope all is going ok? I know it's do hard! I hope this goes well this month! Keep positive-you sound like you are!

Lilesmom you sound like all is going okay! I've gotten scan before you how strange as I'm a week or two less than you! Mines 18th Jan exactly 20 weeks! So scared/looking forward to it! Hope all is okay!!!!

Discoria are you ok? Not sure if I'd missed your posts!

I'm fine been busy, getting a bump now! In fitted clothes you can tell I'm preggers not fat! Saw a family member who was 27 weeks over Xmas -she was massive-scary!!! Generally all good. Use my Doppler every couple of days-love heating heartbeat!! Must say though if anyone is thinking of getting one be wary you can't always hear h/b (sometimes it takes me ages) and couldn't fine it until 16 weeks!

Anyway hugs to you all, sorry I've been rubbish. Lots of PMA x x x

 

[Smiler82]

Hey Hopeful! Good to hear from you! Glad all is going well Aww how lovely to be getting a bump

Lilesmom I spoke too soon, have been sick now Last night and this morning. Yuk. Can't get out of bed much before 11am which is bad as I need to crack on with work now the holidays are over! Ooh your spa sounds lovely did you have any treatments done?

Babybemine sorry you are in limbo, how frustrating. FX you will know one way or another soon.

Katy - any news?

Discoria - hope you had a good break and you're well xx

 

[lilesMom]

babybemine fx hon, i had that ligth crampiness for weeks too, no af sounds good .
fx so hard for u xxxxxxxxx

hopeful , glad alls good hon xxxx
im in mat clothes too, i have quite a bump , have had for a while , i like my bump though
i love my doppler, maybe my bub moves less i always get it took me a while in start but now i can get it straight away all the time, but it does depend on loads of things like where placetna is and stuff they can hide behind the cord and ur blood vessels a bit too kida cool when u think of it
i have the hibebe doppler and it gives heart rate too, bub is always around 160-165. they say that means girl by ole wives tale
for my scna i will be 21.5 weeks, i think xmas put out my dates , bummer .
but im hoping it will make it easier to tell sex cos it be more properly formed , for wnat of a better phrase haha

smielr oh oh ,we jinxed u by talking about it xxxxxxx
good and bad , reassuring but not nice at the time , hugs xxxxxxxx
hope it doesnt get too bad for u honey xxxx
i had back massage , body polish and facial,was so nice
gettin bored of not working and not earning money, wish my job didnt make me so sick
oh well, be totally worth it for healthy bub

hi and hugs to all xxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[KATYJAITCH]

Smiler, I'm due for AF today. If my calculations are correct. No sign yet, tender boobs and REALLY sore nipples. But no cramping which I'd expect for AF? I'm keeping positive but it's hard! How are you doing?

 

[lilesMom]

katy thats cool. fx

 

[KATYJAITCH]

lilesMom, I'm going to hold out a little longer! But FX! How are you getting on?

 

[lilesMom]

the waiting really sucks but good sign no af yet xxx
im good babe bit crampy and tired but i think bub is just growing
the baby is moving up in my tummy so i can kinda feel it
its cool but i am never sure if its just growing and streching cramps but its very mild so all good

 

[KATYJAITCH]

Yes, good sign! I've got every part of me crossed. And really? That's so good to hear. I bet it's lovely being able to feel it all. How was your Christmas?

 

[babybemine]

AF caught up with me yesterday. Boo. Can't wait to track my O and to try again. Dr says the next two months are luckier due to my having has HSG. FX

 

[Smiler82]

Sorry to hear that babybemine

Katy - how are you doing today? Any sign of AF?

Lilesmom I'm sorry you're getting bored Have you thought any more about some of those courses you were looking into? Ooh how lovely to have the massages and facial There is a new spa/salon thing opening in town and DH says he's going to pay for me to have a facial when I'm feeling better, yay How many weeks are you now Lilesmom? Is there a 'normal' time for a bump to appear or does it just depend on your body shape and baby I wonder. I always thought it took til week 20 to get a bump but it would be lovely to get one sooner

AFM I am just so tired. I have to have a nap during the day and been going to bed around 9pm recently. Not been sick today which is nice, but the nausea is constantly there, threatening! DH says I was nowhere near this bad with the other 2 pregnancies so FX that is a good sign
