September Snugglers 2016

[campn]

Psy- my scan is on feb 3rd (I'll be 7 weeks, 1 day) and tomorrow I get my second beta.

Definitely keep snacking every few hours, when I go hungry I feel like I'm about to have a meltdown physically and emotionally and it makes my nausea so much worse. I skipped breakfast today and that taught me a lesson.

I just got done with my first day of school and I am soo exhausted I can't even keep my eyes open. I was only in 3, 50 minute classes and I feel like I have been on the go for 12 hours strait. I was already falling asleep in class by noon and I started at 1030! lol I am hoping the exhaustion hitting me all of a sudden is a good sign! I have been having some cramps today but not a lot. My BBs are sore near my underarms and keep having pains through them.. I have one class before I go to Dr tomorrow, not sure I will be able to concentrate waiting!

Today was extremely difficult at work. The nausea is constant all day and it's difficult to teach and act like everything is great and happy and wonderful all the time when I just want to sit in my chair, give the kids busy work, and take a nap. Ugh. But I can't do that to them so I keep doing my song and dance and pretending like I'm alright and trying not to let the nausea/exhaustion show. One kid did say I looked really tired today though...:[

I really love what I do but right now its just so hard and I feel like the freshman are being especially needy and I just want to shout "Leave me alone...I'm pregnant!" Obviously not their fault. I'm just hormonal and sick right now. Normally I love my job.

Sorry in advance for the rant. My office has a leak near the window that has been there for 2 months, and just today someone came by to take a look. It's been really musty smelling, especially when I arrive first thing in the morning.

Well the guy arrives and says that the problem is a crack on the outside of the building, and they won't do anything inside because there'll just be more water damage. I asked if they could clean it up and get rid of the mildew/mold and he said sure... as soon as they fix the crack on the outside, and they won't fix the outside of the building for a while because it's a big job!!!

And then, I come home and tell DH and he just looks at me and then goes back to his computer. Ugh, I just want to punch somebody!

 

[Linzalora]

Ugh, I just want to punch somebody!

I totally feel your pain. I have a SEWAGE leak in the middle of my classroom. It's been there for three years and they keep "fixing" it, and yet it keeps dripping. I'm super concerned about breathing in that literal crap now... Can't wait for this school year to be over.

Boy this thread moves quick, I can't believe how the numbers are growing. Welcome to all the new ladies and congratulations !!

Mrsmax - So happy to see your good news !

amantila - I also teach and it is so hard to be so exhausted and nauseous with kids in front of you. I have 2nd grade, none of my colleagues know yet

campn - that truly sucks about the blood draw, I think I would have passed out.

Have an official ultrasound on Friday... I thought since my scan last week I would feel such relief, but it was brief. I am worried all over again. I am trying to stay busy but my brain gets the best of me. I am still sick most nights and can't really eat dinner. living on ginger ale and ice chips.

 

[lesondemavie]

Psy - That happens to me too...has for a while now on and off. I just hit this point where I feel like I'm on the verge of nausea, and I have to stop eating. I thought it was just in my head, but it's been more consistent lately. It seems to happen more with mushy foods, but today it even happened with my salad at lunch. Still no actual nausea or vomiting *knock on wood*

I'm so tired tonight, and that's just odd after a night with a full 10 hours of sleep! I'm taking it as a good sign that all is well

Hi, can I please join? I am (finally) expecting my third in late September

 

[Mummy1506]

MrsMax glad to see the scan went well!

Just1more - hope your scan has also gone well.

Welcome to new ladies!

7 weeks hooray! Count down to appointments & scans now 1 week til booking & 12 days until private scan 😄.

 

[Alea]

I thought I had posted about my scan on Monday but I can't see that I have, and this post moves SO quickly there's so much I need to catch up on. I will do that later today!

A huge welcome and congratulations to anyone who has joined over the past couple of days.

Our private scan was wonderful and I am thrilled to say there's a beautiful little baby in there who is nice and healthy. I am measuring right on target and my EDD remains as Sept. 1st, as I had calculated. Our 12 week NHS scan is 3 weeks tomorrow so that's something to look forward to.

How is everyone?

Ew, that's even worse! They knew my office had issues when I moved in, and the head of my department is likely going to move me, so I feel better this morning. They don't know yet that I'm pregnant, and I'm hoping I don't have to play that card. I really don't want to tell anyone until the results of the genetic screening come back (the 16th!).

9 weeks today- it seems like forever, but that it flew by all at the same time.

 

[Just1more2]

Hi ladies!!

Sorry for the late reply, scan went very well!! 183bpm heartbeat and measuring 2days ahead of my calculations. Official DD of September 1st, the same as my DS due date!!

PS picture loaded sideways sorry!

 

[mari35racz36]

Just1more2 - I am so happy to hear you scan went well!! such a cute scan pic Yay!!

AFM- yesterday was probably my worst day yet. I just felt so sick and extremely tired. I went to bed super early and today is better. My kids are a bit older now so they don't nap. I usually have to keep my almost 4yr old occupied with a show so I can go lay down. How is everyone else?

 

[lesondemavie]

Beautiful scan just!

7 weeks today, and hello nausea. Not too bad yet, mostly just after I eat. I wasn't very hungry this morning, which was unusual, so I chose just a small Greek yogurt and granola. It's felt like it wants to come back up for the past hour. Somewhat better now, but still feels unsettled. Going to try some ginger tea, toast, and crackers and see if that helps. I have a busy work day today! Let's do this first tri

 

[hopie2015]

Just1- soo happy for you. Congrats!! Perfect heartbeat. Now you can sit back and relax. Yay!

Have a lot to catch up on here. My mom had to go to the hospital for emergency surgery yesterday. Thank GOD she is doing well today. The past 48 hours are a total blur. I also think I have to go back to hospital as nausea/vomiting is so bad I haven't held anything down all week. My clothes are falling off me and I still cant keep prenatals down. Dr. has me on highest allowed dosage of Zofran now - 28mg! which is crazy but I have no choice. I look and feel as if I'm dying.
I really admire you girls who are working through bad nausea and taking care of little kids. I have to get energy back to take care of my mom when she gets home.

Mari- so sorry the nausea is so bad still. Guess we are both 8wks 2 days about and still no letting up You feel the meds didn't help at all?

Will catch up on all soon. Take care everyone.

 

[mrsmax]

Just - congrats! Lovely scan.

Hope so sorry you are going through that. Glad your mum OK. HG is the woirst! At thge mo I just have all day sickness with vomiting 2-3 tonnes but periods of thge say when I feel ok and that
Is why o cope. Trust mne if any if us had HG we would be doing samne as you. I had it with my daughter and t is totally debilitating.

 

[mrsmax]

Excuse the terrible typing in last post!!

 

[campn]

Got my betas today, still don't know what the doctor thinks of them.

First was 16,674 and the second (48 hours later) was 23,604

It didn't double so I don't know if this pregnancy is going to make it.

 

[gina236]

Camp that's perfect actually! I did a calculator. Says you are doubling every 95.73 hours. And says "normal" for over 6000 is every 96 hours. Your right on track. Don't worry hun!

 

[CountryMomma]

Sitting here waiting to see the doc. I am scared and anxious.. Haven't taken a test in a couple days so not sure if they have gone positive again.. I will update after!
