September Snugglers 2016

[Michellebelle]

Thanks for the good thoughts ladies, and I don't mean to bring down the mood of the thread. Everyone should remain happy! Even if it doesn't work out for me this time, I'm not giving up.

Campn, thanks! I actually will do another beta check on Thursday too. Though if it is molar, I think it will continue to increase fine, just like it has been. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it was just a really weird ultrasound and that Thursday's will show a clear baby with a heartbeat.

 

[lesondemavie]

Oh Michelle I'm so sorry! I will keep you and your family in my thoughts all week . Keeping up hope that it was just early and Thursday brings good news.

Psy - That line progression is beautiful! So exciting!

 

[MummaMoo]

Michelle hope it was just a poor scan and everything will be found ticking away nicely in there on Thursday! Everything crossed XXX

Hopie, I'm sure baby will be OK getting what it needs from you even though you've got an empty stomach, we've always got plenty of supplies for them - but hopefully your stomach will allow you some nibbles of something soon and yeah, good idea about the sports drinks, some sips of them too.

I wasn't in a monthly group last time, I just had a circle of friends on this forum from TTC. I was the first to get a bfp the first time, and now I'm the last! I feel left behind!
Sickness was worse for me yesterday, first time I've thrown up multiple times, and I generally felt achey and horrible, but today is a new day and only one day away from 8 weeks!
No appointment yet for my booking in with the Midwife (I always go to call them a widmife!) I'm stating to get a little impatient now!
I want to pee in a pot and get my bloods taken, damned it!

What happens if when I'm scanned, my date is moved forward and I end up jumping into August? Can I be an honorary September Snuggler? - although if this baby is like Sophie, they'll probably turn up very late for the party!

 

[mrs unicorn]

Michelle - so sorry to hear that. Hopefully your next scan will be better and reassure you that all is well.

Mummamoo - I was wondering that too. When you go for the dating scan how 'out' are we normally. Would it be a few days or a couple of weeks? I don't want it to change. I have a billion apps that I love to see the development each day, it would mess that up (I'm a bit of a neat freak) but yes, I think we'd all like to keep you here as an honorary Sept snuggler if your date moves.

 

[MummaMoo]

With Sophie, going by LMP she was due 20th Jan, the sonographer moved it to 15th, then she actually arrived on the 28th! It bugged me that it got moved, because of it messing up the tickers and stuff, but really should have been happier because I was that bit closer to meeting her, which in the end didn't happen either!! Ha!

 

[xanzaba]

Linzalora- welcome and congrats! I also stalked the thread for a while before I had the courage to join. You must have had a nice visit with your husband

 

[mrs unicorn]

oh well, I guess the date is only an estimate anyway. How come you haven't got an appointment with the midwife yet? Do they not book you in in advance? I have agggggessssss to wait for mine, 25th Feb! I'll be 10w+1 then.

Also, a question for the UK ladies, are any of you having/have had the flu vaccine? No one has mentioned it to me but I know preggo ladies are supposed to have it.

 

[Momof3fosho]

Good morning all, hope you're having a healthy and happy pregnancy this far. I'm doing ok but really nervous as this will be our rainbow baby. So I went to the doctor yesterday for our confirmation appt and all looked well. However, because of my severe worry and my last miscarriage the doctor had me give blood to test my progesterone levels. Has a supplement worked for any of you? Anybody else using one now? Let me know and hopefully all is well.

 

[ciz]

Yes hun I'll be opting for my flu vaccine. I had it when I was preg with my daughter no issues from what I can remember. I have my booking in this Friday. Think it's different times for different areas

I only went to see the doctor last Wednesday, they then refer me for booking in with Midwife. I waited a while to see doctor this time because last time I made an appointment within a week of my bfp and then had a chemical, so my own inaction has delayed things. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long.
As for the flu vaccine, do they offer it all year round? I have a flu jab anyway with work, they offer it to all staff for free.

 

[mrs unicorn]

I think they offer the flu jab sept- Feb so we're near the end of the flu season now. I'm all for vaccines etc but it feels a bit weird doing it so early on in pregnancy. Plus as we're almost out of the season I'm wondering whether to have it or not.

On a lighter note, I have my first food aversion not sure why it's made me so happy but it has! Cucumber is now absolutely revolting! I actually text DH to see if his was ok incase it was an 'off' one! Turns out it's just me. Funny, as I ate a load on Saturday and it was great.

 

[xanzaba]

The bump begins- 7 weeks, 5 days since lmp!

 

[MummaMoo]

Yay for bumps!

I have a permanent bump anyway so It'll be a long time before mine is noticeable!

 

[gina236]

Awe! Yay for symptoms and bumps!!

 

[mrs unicorn]

Xan - woooo for the bump! I cannot wait for a bump, got a bit of a wait though as I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow. X

 

[xanzaba]

My first pregnancy I didn't have a bump until 15 weeks- mainly because I kept losing weight and had bleeding. I'm *shocked* that I have a bump already!

 

[MummaMoo]

I can't wait for a bump just so that I don't feel just plain old fat!

 

[DecemberWait]

I didn't have a bump until 20 weeks with my daughter, I really hope I show earlier this time. That awkward "fat" stage is rough!

 

[mari35racz36]

Xan - Yay!! Nice bump I am 7 weeks today and wondering when my bump will show as this is baby #4. They say with each pregnancy you show earlier.

 

[mari35racz36]

I hate the award fat stage too. I am so bloated right now and it just looks as I have gained weight. The earliest I have shown is 15 weeks.
