September Snugglers 2016

Evening ladies. I am breathing a little easier tonight. I took another DT test and there is a line that came up at about 3 minutes, it is still rather faint, and way fainter than the other night but I am thinking maybe that other test had a lot more dye in it. I am just so happy to see a line again.. can't wait for Thursday to confirm so I can completely relax.
 
Aman: That's great news!

Camp: Probably just too early, but totally get the worry.

Welcome Blue and glad you're feeling better country.

Thanks all for the support this morning. It looks like I spoke too soon. I think I was just confusing sick to my stomach for anxiety. My appetite has gone from ravenous to meh. Smells are hitting me from everywhere: the smell of the coffee as I walked by the front desk, the many smells of various lunches at the office, and even my own lunch as I drove back from picking it up. It's not bad, just so strong that it's unpleasant. I haven't been nauseated really...just a bit unsettled. It feels like there's a lump in my throat so I coughed/gagged a bit today. I barely choked down breakfast, and I ended up pulling the grilled chicken out of my sandwich and just eating avocado/bacon/bread for lunch. Again it didn't feel like it would come back up, it just didn't feel good going down. DH is here asking me about dinner and nothing sounds good. Hopefully this is as bad as it gets for me. Ah well hooray for symptoms and for just letting things be for now :)
 
Leson, yay for feeling iffy with food! I mean - booooo, but YAY!

My boss told me yesterday after work that my news will now be known across the college. We have a case of chickenpox that was discovered over the weekend and we're expecting more cases over the next week. As there's always been doubt about the virus and expectant mothers, the health and safety officer had gotten involved, there had been a meeting and the minutes of the meeting have been emailed to all the departments. I was discussed in this meeting, so am also in the minutes *sigh* Not very happy because I only wanted to tell people I wanted to know, at least until the scan.
 
Morning ladies.
Sorry ive been a bit of a lurker. The anxiety seems to be winning me at the moment.
My morning sickness has well and truly kicked in though, and I threw up this morning, so trying to take that as a positive sign.
I have a scan on Monday, I will be 6+6. Terrified.

Xx
 
Mamamoo that is terrible. You totally have thge right to demand that your name is not circulated with personal details. That is terrible (I'm a lawyer and deal with this stuff all thge time).

No more discharge for me so feeling cautiously optimistic... Have also been vomiting throughout the last 24 hours so hoping that is a good sign. Scan at epu tomorrow at 11.30. Very nervous!
 
Thanks MrsMax, but I guess it's too late now that the email has been circulated. Not sure of the extent it has spread yet, as nothing has been said to me so far. Will just have to wait and see.
I have good feelings about you MrsMax, regarding your spotting yesterday. Hope the scan goes well tomorrow!

I think my appointment for booking in with the Midwife has come through! Yay! Mr Moo is a postie and has seen a hospital letter for me in our pigeonhole in the sorting office. Just got to wait till I finish work to find out!
 
Hi all - have been a bit slack and have just caught up a little.

Mrsmax - I've been reading about your story in first Tri. Hoping for a positive outcome for you!

Mummamoo - that is so annoying. I hate when people ruin your news.

Countrymomma - I hope Thursday goes well. Glad your test showed a line.

AFM - all day nausea has kicked in & I have my dating scan next week on the 3rd of February. I will be a little over 7 weeks.
 
It sounds like everyone is feeling a little brighter/more reassured at the moment. Great stuff!!

Mummamoo - I can't believe your work. That is terrible! Surely they didn't have to name you. Also, is it actually necessary that so many people are aware? It should have been handled much better and more discreetly. Like you say, whats done is done, but it should have been handled better.

AFM: I'm having an emotional day. I've just been sat here crying for the past half an hour because I hate one of my clients. Not for any particular reason, they frustrate me in general. I've worked for them for over 2 years and I cannot wait for the day I go off on maternity leave and I won't have to deal with them for a year (at least)! On a plus note I've booked some refresher driving lessons. I passed my test 12 years ago (where the hell did 12 years go?!) and haven't really needed to drive since - DH does all the family visit driving, but workwise I've never needed to drive. I keep beating myself up about it so thought I should get on with it - bit scared like!
 
Mum - That is just so wrong. I agree, they definitely did not need to discuss you by name!

Sorry the Nausea is all day Buffy, and as much as I want symptoms, I do not envy those of you vomiting. Hang in there! <3

Mrs - I definitely know the feeling of not clicking well with a client. Thankfully they're few and far between. I've learned to refer out, as I'm probably not the best person to treat their child when my own feelings are in conflict. It's tough though bc the ultimate decision is on my director. I do my best to stay objective and empathetic, but there are just some families beyond my reach. Thankfully my caseload is pretty great right now. Hoping it stays that way! So envious of the not driving thing. Southern California is not set up for that at all. I drive at least two hours a day, and I hate it...but I love my job, so I tolerate it.

AFM: I'm feeling so much better this morning :). I woke up to sore bbs again like usual, and my pee smells like I ate asparagus (such a weird pg symptom) like it has a few times since my BFP. Tummy feels much more settled. You're all right. I just need to roll with it. We'll all have good and bad days, and symptoms will ebb and flow. The peeing all the time though, they say that one is here to stay.
 
haha leson, yes, my pee is odd too! Like I'm dehydrated or something, and I'm definitely not. I drink a minimum of 2L a day. They say it's the vitamins, but I was taking them before my bfp and it didn't do anything to my pee then!
 
Unicorn- sorry you're feeling so emotional hun, that client sounds like they'd make anyone emotional! Yay for driving! I've never been a fan either and I lived in Chicago where it has awesome public transportation and I miss that now. Better than dealing with traffic!

Mum- I agree with the other ladies, publicizing your business like that is a bit harsh. I'm sorry.

Leso- glad you're having a good day! Sore boobs make me happy like yay things are happening! I remember my pee smelling acidic with DS and I've read it smells like all sorts of things in pregnancy!
 
Mum that is so wrong! But like you said, nothing you can do now. I would be so mad!

Les, so glad your feeling better today! My boobs are just starting to hurt today. They have been big for awhile but finally getting sore. So scared for my ultrasound tomorrow. I'm terrified they will tell me there is no viable pregnancy. Or that its ectopic and i need to end it before I need surgery. I have waited so long for this. My temp did shoot up today finally so hoping my progesterone increased and it wasn't due to waking up from a nightmare before I temped. (Yes im still temping) I just really want answers as to why hpt aren't cooperating. Really hoping I'm just one of those women that don't get much hcg in their urine and all is well. Ugh so many possibilities
 
thanks ladies. I don't normally get this emotional - and definitely don't start crying!! I normally grump about a bit and get over it. Ah well, chocolate biscuits are helping! That's another thing, I've always been a savoury, crisps, cracker, cheese kind of girl but I've started craving sweet things - noooo! DH has a big sweet tooth, but I very rarely have anything sweet. Currently trying to stop myself from finishing the whole pack of biscuits!

Gina hun, I feel for you. I really really hope it goes well tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you, and sending lots of positive thoughts your way. xxx
 
Mumma- that's really not very professional of your workplace! I also work at a university, but here if they ever disclosed personal information they would be terrified of a lawsuit. Not that I support the legal system here, but it does have some nice side effects :)

Unicorn- I'm completely opposite. Today I have already caved into eating boursin (for breakfast!), salt & vinegar chips, and french fries. I usually don't like chips and fries very much, but I just knew that if I ate something sweet I'd be sick. The nausea has been so bad for the past couple of days, but now I think eating salty things is the key.

My boobs have been less sore lately, but the nausea is so overwhelming I haven't missed the sore boobs. Well, last night I woke up lying on my side/stomach and my chest was killing me! Also, I had a weird dream that I was watching the presidential debates and the moderator was shamelessly plugging everything from toothpaste to the cable station and I was getting disgusted by the whole thing.
 
aman: it's good to hear that the baby is doing well but I never doubted that for a second. Your spotting is def from the pap smear.

campn: 5w6d seems early for sure. My doc wouldn't even scan me until week 8. I've heard of ladies seeing something really early but I'm guessing it's also a matter of luck on where the implantation happened to be and how developed the egg is.

mumma: Why can't they just tell the health and safety officers only? Maybe you'll get special treatment after this though ;)

gina, country, mrsmax: seems all of you are making a comeback there ;) fx for your upcoming appts

Like many of you my breasts are also killing me. I already ordered some maternity bras from amazon. Kind of amazed I already need it at 5w. At this rate aren't they going to explode over the next 8 months??

Interestingly, I don't pee more frequently than before. Is that normal? Does it mean I'm not as hydrated as before? Or maybe I already peed frequently before? :shrug:
 
My little beanie stopped growing at 4w6d <3 luckily I knew early and can move onto the next cycle. Good luck everyone :)
 
Hi Guys! I'm 5 weeks pregnant, I'm actually still in shock as I write this as I am in a very complicated situation at the moment! Extremely emotional and I need other women to talk to!
