September Snugglers 2016

[LoraLoo]

Thanks, ladies. Is it to early to be a proud momma?

Never too early! Beautiful pic , hello little one ☺️

 

[MeganS0326]

Great scan! Congrats, momma, be proud!!!

 

[xxxLeoxxx]

So bug's measuring 8 weeks and 1 day, strong heartbeat at 168, and no evidence for a blood clot. DH and I couldn't be more relieved!

Great pic - it's so clear ! If you're 8+1 then does that make your due date 31st August? I'm 7+5 and the sonographer said my due date is 2nd September but based on my LMP my midwife said it's 4th September... xx

 

[MummaMoo]

I wondered that Leo, for those of us due at the very beginning of September there's a chance scans could have us in August.

 

[xanzaba]

My OBGYN said they don't change the date unless it is ~1 week off. To be honest, last AF sort of showed up late the night before. But I feel so at home with you lovely ladies that, even if that bumped me up to August something, I'd just ignore it

 

[campn]

With my son my due date was August 31st then ended up having him on September first! These due dates aren't all that serious.

Any of you still crampy? Why do us women always get cramps!? AF, ovulation, pregnancy, postpartum. No fair!

Xan - what a beautiful scan pic It is never too early to be a proud mama!! Congrats

 

[mari35racz36]

My Doc won't change my due date until the ultrasound is different by a week. But I am hoping because this is my fourth baby that I will go early anyway

Congrats xan!!! That is such wonderful news!! So thrilled for you!
Meg- yes- very hit or miss to see the heart beat between 6-7 weeks. My old doctor wouldn't even do a scan last time for that reason until at least 7.5 weeks.

Yes, tiredness is unreal. I've had 2 naps today.
Mari- do you think the nausea pill helped you at all? I really don't think the Zofran helps with my nausea, just the vomiting.
Yes, I bet you will have your baby early being the 4th! I'm truly in awe of you going through these first rough weeks with 3 other little ones. You are amazing!! And such a good source for all of on this board as you've been through pregnancy 3 times before.

you are the sweetest! Thankyou for such kind words I have had really rough first trimesters with all of my kids, but never as bad a you. We go through so much to bring a baby into this world!
The meds do not take the nausea away, but they do stop me from throwing up alot. I still throw up a few times a day, but nowhere near as much if I didn't take the meds.

megan: I see your bean and hope they find the hb next time. I used to go to a hospital with ancient equipment, and changed hospital to a better one. I'm all about the high tech

xan: it's so easy to see your baby, congratulations!

So my first appointment is tomorrow... I am a nervous wreck. I took a nap and had a dream that I was at my parents house and had my very own ultrasound machine. I was able to hook it up to the TV ! The funny part was I was just sitting on the floor looking at the image of a baby on the screen. I kept calling everyone to come see, but they were busy and unimpressed. The screen flashed - BOY at one point. Although I have had dreams about holding a baby girl.

I just am hoping they do a scan, and hoping that I get to see a healthy bean.... I will be 7 weeks and 6 days still nauseous but not as much the past 2 days.

Xan the scan picture is so wonderful to see !

Who else has appointments this week?

 

[MummaMoo]

Whenever I had dreams about having my baby with my first pregnancy, in those dreams I would lose the baby - not as in MC, but I'd be walking around with an empty carseat asking myself "where the HELL have I put him this time!?"
I guess we get cramps at times throughout, as our insides get squished up, ligaments stretched, joints loosening, it's amazing what our bodies do, AND how we cope with it. Yes, us ladies do get a lot of crap, but do we honestly think our menfolk would handle it as well as we do? not on a downer about the male species, just pointing out that they may have strength in other ways, but our strength throughout the whole of pregnancy, having to continue on day to day whilst dealing with the sickness and tiredness etc, protecting our babies, nourishing them with our own bodies to help them develop and grow and birthing them...... that strength is unmeasurable. Just having a WOW moment! Ha!

 

[mrs unicorn]

Amazing scans guys! I cannot wait for mine - such a wait though, won't be until march!

Emma my fave apps are pregnancy+ and ovia, I have what to expect, baby centre and the bump but not so keen on these. I guess it depends what you're after. I love the pictures and day by day development so pregnancy+ and ovia are good for that. Sorry your being sick already! I've only had the odd nauseous day so far. But the fatigue is starting now.

 

[mrs unicorn]

Oh I had funny dream last night too. The hospital I was going to give birth in was my old secondary school. It was still a school but had a birthing centre in it. The horror I felt when I realised all the mw's and doctors were people from year at school! It's prob because I was reading the funny/embarrassing labour thread on here yesterday! I was in tears, so funny! Now I'm slightly terrified of labour!

 

[Mummy1506]

Great scan! I'm booking in for one on 9th Feb, I'll be 8+5 so hopefully see nice healthy bean.

Anyone having trouble sleeping? Can't nod off then wake for a pee in the night & takes over an hour to drop back off!! Wondering is things playing on my mind as its around now things starting going wrong in my last pregnancy!

Happy to make the 6 week mark today 🎉.

 

[xanzaba]

I'm up, middle of the night, again! Wake up to pee every night (between 12 and 3 am) and then have trouble going back to sleep. Plus, I usually need to drink some water. Crazy dreams too. Tonight I was a mermaid warrior defending the honor of all mermaids after Poseidon kept making the most sexist comments. Oy.

So putting something on tv to see if it'll put me back to sleep. Night night.

I have my first prenatal today as well I won't be getting a scan, my doc will due whatever else is routine. Like urine protein check, blood pressure, weight, etc.... I am nervous too!! It is way too early to hear HB on a Doppler. Good luck at you appt

 

[mari35racz36]

Mummy1506 - Congrats on 6 weeks! I have trouble sleeping recently. I wake up at least 2x a night to pee. I am finding it hard to fall asleep as well. I think alot of it is in our minds because we worry so much.Sleep is going to harder as we get bigger...not looking forward to that!
