September Snugglers 2016

Desiree- beautiful pic, congrats and a perfect heartbeat.

Hopie- I've dealt with an SCH before and it was scary, but if the size is not too big they can be harmless. My doctor was adamant that I did not do bed rest (he had some iffy beliefs), but if I had to do it again I would do bed rest. Take care of yourself and your little bean.
 
desiree - great pic! Glad all is looking well. x

Hopie - you are one strong lady, I think I would have crumbled by now. I really hope things start to improve for you. I don't know anything about pregnancy or what you are going through so can't advise, but look after yourself, you clearly have a little bean that is just as strong as you! x
 
thanks for all the well wishes has anyone else had their scans or do you have them coming up?
 
Congrats to the beautiful scans and hbs des and little!

Welcome Ruth and wild and congrats!!!

Hopie - Hooray that the baby is doing so well. I don't know why but I have a feeling that sch will reabsorb and everything will be just fine :hugs:

I'm actually opposite. I woke up burning up this am. I've also lost weight even though I'm eating all the time. I read that some women get increased metabolism earlier than others in pg. Thinkingvthat's it since it explains both symptoms.

Des - I have 2 more weeks to go before my first scan at 8 weeks. Hoping the time flies! Can't wait to confirm that there's a little baby just flourishing in there :cloud9:
 
I will say that I felt so much better after seeing the little baby makes everything a little more surreal. crossing my fingers that time Flys for you.
 
congrats desiree and little!

hopie: it's great that you're able to confirm the baby is doing well. SCH is not good news but your baby's clearly been a fighter so far and I'm sure he/she will win against SCH ;)

welcome and congrats wildworld and ruth :flower:

xan: I think I'm the same: I get so hot under the covers that I sweat and then I end up feeling cold. Like a very mild night sweat or something. Also DH keeps kicking the blankets ONTO me. Maybe we have too many blankets.

leson: hooray! so close to first scan! I am going on vacation to Hawaii starting 6w so I think those 2 weeks will pass fast but I am hoping MS won't be plaguing me. We're flying and also gonna be on boats some of those days. Guess I'm packing the dramamine.
 
So had my First midwife app. She thinks I'm actually 8 weeks gone.. but I know that's from my last period but if anything I might be 7 weeks but either way I'll find out 19th feb =)

Weighed myself this morning I've already gained 3lbs... hopefully it's mostly water haha
 
So jealous of all the lovely bumps I'm seeing! You all look great! I still look about the same, but I guess that's normal for your first.

I've been feeling run down this week, and like I'm on the verge of nausea the past two days. Maybe it's just the fear of it now that I'm 6 weeks! With the lower energy, I haven't been working out as much. Forced myself to do 30 minutes this morning and already feel my energy on an upswing. Need to remember that it helps me feel better:happydance:

Psy that sounds so fun! Hope you feel well enough to enjoy it. I keep thinking DH and I should do some sort of trip in second tri...but it'll have to be over a 3 day weekend. I used up all my PTO for weddings (my own and others), honeymoon in St Lucia, traveling to Tanzania, Galapagos, and Peru, and being sick a bit over the past 3 years (all 10 days a year of it boo...I end up working Saturdays to flex a lot of it). Hoping to save up my PTO this year for pay on maternity leave. Good thing we live in California! Some of the best family leave laws in the nation :thumbup:...still jealous of the time off most get in Europe though!
 
Leson: we went to Peru and Galapagos for our honeymoon! It was after a really great dive in Galapagos that I decided I was ready to TTC!

I definitely want to hear everyone's babymoon plans, especially if they are expecting #1.

And great bump ciz. Leson your tummy looks more like a fitness ad ;) looks like great abs.
 
Some great news today after a physically and emotionally difficult week. Went for first ultrasound today and baby is doing great! Measuring at 7 weeks so further than I thought! Heart rate of 157 AND we got to hear it! Here's a picture of the baby bean:

Hah that's so funny Psy! It was after our GPS/MP trip that we decided we were ready too! We went this past summer with a friend, my brother, and his then fiancée. What islands did you see? We did the south. I'd really love to go back and see Isabela and Fernandina. Did you do the backpacking trail to Machu Picchu? It was amazing. The Andes are by far the most beautiful mountain range I've ever seen. I wanted to just stay there!
 
Thanks for alll the welcomes unfortunately I think I must have jinxed it, been cramping since yesterday and I started bleeding this morning, only pink spotting at first but now red with clots... I've never had a miscarriage before. I've just tested and it's positive but barely. Don't know what to do do I go to the doctor or just wait it out? This has been a hard week. :-(
 
Love seeing all of these healthy scans <3

ruthb- I am really sorry to hear you are bleeding :( can you get bloodwork done to track your HCG to see if maybe the bloodwork is related to something else...? Sometimes first trimester bleeding can be normal. *hugs*
 
ruthb - sorry to hear you are bleeding. Sometimes pregnant women and bleed and no MC. I would call your doc they could do further testing for you. Hang in there!

ciz - super cute baby bump!!

amantilia - great scan pic! can't wait for mine next month:)

Do you ladies know about the travel advisory for pregnant women right now? It is due to a mosquito virus. We are going on vacation to Florida in March and should be ok. But there is a ton of tropical countries on the list. Here is a link with more info....

Ruth, so sorry about this - how many weeks would you be? Others are right that you can still bleed during pregnancy, and I hope this is the case for you, but be prepared for a chemical if it's really early. I had one in October, got positive tests at the beginning of the week and started bleeding at the end of the week. I was 4weeks 3 days or thereabouts. I was told that there's no need for medical intervention as it's so early, it's just like a period, just a little heavier. Just rest up, take some paracetamol for the cramps, lots of cuddles :hugs:
 
Mari...we talked about that at my appointment today! I was in the Dominican Republic right before I got my bfp! But since I'm asymptomatic she says there are no worries. I guess it's a pretty big deal right now...crazy what a little mosquito can do. Not sure about Florida...doctor said it was mostly Caribbean countries but I would still double check!
