September Snugglers 2016

[mrsmax]

Congrats medolicducky!

And holy heartburn this morning. I never get heartburn but it was bothering me so much it made me feel nauseous. Haven't thrown up yet so that's good! I'm the type of person that will literally do anything to keep myself from throwing up though...I hate it so much!

I hate heartburn!! Poor you. Does medication help?

I've definitely been feeling the cramps today! For a minute they were really bad as I was driving home from work. I was stuck in traffic, so I just breathed through it. It always makes me nervous too, and I have to tell myself that it's normal!

That sounds bad. So scary isn't it?! Last pregnancy someone told me to imagine it is baby getting snuggled and settled in whenever cramps made me feel uneasy. Kind of works.

Here is my free today (top). The line looks slightly darker than the control line and a smidge darker than 14dpo so I am feeling a bit better about things today. Thanks for all your support

I'd say that's looking pretty reassuring!

 

[mrsmax]

Thanks Mammamo. Got 2-3 weeks on CB as well so hopefully HCG is rising.

Yay, mrsmax, I'd say those look pretty good.

I realized yesterday that I get more cramps if I don't drink enough water, so I started drinking more and the cramps are a bit better. Morning sickness is cranking up full scale, so I'm having to eat small bits every 2 hours or so. I have some toast in the morning, then a banana, and a granola bar, then I'm ready for lunch. This morning I woke up from morning sickness This is the earliest by far that I've had morning sickness in any pregnancy (usually kicks in at 8 weeks, I'm 6 weeks today). Hoping that's a good sign.

Wow Michelle! Look at those beautiful betas! Congrats!
I have been crampy on and off today too. Feels like af sometimes and stabby other times. Hoping it is all normal growing pains!
My boobs are enormous... I have dds to begin with, but now even my one loose bra is tight and they spill out. I wish I could wear my sports bra to work, but... erhem... my nipples would show through. They are super uncomfortable.
Anyone else have this problem? Possible solution?

My boobs feel so big too!! I am also a dd bra size when i am not pregnant. I wore my sports bra yesterday and my nipples did show through. I need too get a better one that is a bit thicker and will not show nipples. Right now m nipples are very sore. I bought a nice comfy maternity bra when was pregnant with DS1. I wore it through 2 pregnancies and then it was done. It kinda of looked like a sports bra but it was so comfy. Maybe check a maternity store to see what they have?

I had nausea starting at just 3 weeks! So worried about how bad it's going to get later on. I've definitely learned to keep snacks on hand, and crackers by the bed. It is the empty stomach that gets me. Since this is my first time, any other tips would be much appreciated!

I'm going to count myself lucky that I don't have cramps. I've had extreme thirst since 3 weeks too, so I've been drinking a ton of water. Maybe that's why.

Also my boobs don't hurt really at all, but then again they never really did during PMS either. Going to count myself lucky on that one esp since I have so many other "good signs," so early. The fatigue, thirst, frequent urination and nausea are plenty .

My thirst has even crazy too!! I dink water like all the time. But I still get the cramps. I've read its your ligaments slowly stretching to prepare for baby.

I definitely haven't been drinking enough, water turns my stomach at the moment so I've got some fizzy drinks on hand. Not good really I know, but it's fluid, at the end of the day!
I haven't had the sore boobs, just sensitive nips occasionally. My joints have been aching and I've felt completely washed out.
I was REALLY wanting bacon yesterday and have got some today, I feel so satisfied and perked up now. I now believe that we need to listen to our cravings!

Haha this is so funny. I had bacon at my in-laws this past weekend and felt so much better! It was the only thing that went down well, and I crave it on my worst mornings now. I haven't had bacon in 20 years!

Happy 6 weeks Xan!! and happy 4 weeks leson! I love seeing those tickers change!!

AFM - Still not had any MS kick in. I keep waiting and waiting but she hasn't showed. it makes me happy and nervous all at once...
I am soooo cranky this morning. I am trying to cool it to get through work!
Some AF type cramps this morning and when I checked my cervix it is medium and SO SOFT!! This worries me because the day I started bleeding with my last chemical my cervix felt just like it does now and with the cramps I am freaking out checking TP after every wee. It is still very closed so that is good I guess.
All other symptoms are still the same as they have been. Nothing new to report I hope everything is well in there...
Almost 6 weeks!!
I hope I will be able to settle down after my scan in 3 weeks... this worrying is driving me crazy... So many women with losses in the 6-8 week range and seeing it makes me scared. I am just trying to enjoy everyday of being pregnant and just focus on making to each new day. All I can do right?

 

[mari35racz36]

Ok, all these pics of dark lines made me go and buy another hpt test! Lol I haven't tested since New Years. Here is my pic...

 

[mrsmax]

Great lines Mari. Sorry we gave you thge POAS bug!! Just1 I had a day like that yesterday. I think it is normal to worry but usually it is unfounded.

 

[MummaMoo]

Just1 - i envy your no MS, but at the same time if it were me I'd be exactly the same and be wondering where the hell it was!
I've never done the cervix checking thing - tbh I don't know what I'd be feeling for!

 

[mari35racz36]

Just1more - I know how you feel. The worrying never stops. You may end up being one of the lucky ones and not get MS. I posted a question in the first tri asking when MS showed up for most ladies. A lot of people said 6 weeks. I was incredibly moody yesterday.

I rarely have bacon, but more because Mr Moo hates the smell of it, and its not worth putting up with the fuss i have to endure when I do have it. However, at the moment, he's keeping his mouth shut because he's just happy I'm eating something, and he fears the wrath of a preggo lady that wants bacon!!

HAHA! Fear the wrath!!! We can be pretty monstrous! I hate the first trimester!!

Thank you ladies for the reassurance. I have been a complete beast today... I know it is not fair to everyone else, but all I want to do is yell at people today. I have no patience for others. I don't want anyone to talk to me, or try to have a conversation. I feel like a Grinch!

As for the cervix thing, checked it again a few moments ago and it is sucked right back up, tilted back and firmish again. So false alarm. I know better than to put too much stock in CP anyway - it is no sort of reliable indicator
