September Snugglers 2016

[CountryMomma]

Yeah, I don't think I could handle a positive digi and I know for a fact I can't hold it for 12 hours! Lol I can't hardly go an hour even when I don't drink. I have been pregnant three other times and have been able to get beautiful lines with all three! If I have to wait until 8 weeks to get a line I have a long time to wait! lol It just seems so weird that we can get one positive but no more.. Like does the HCG spike for a day then go back down? It's all so odd.

 

[gina236]

I blame it on the concentration. That's why the 2 times I held it for 12+ hours (this was overnight btw lol) i got definite positives. Any time it's less than that I get a negative or super faint positive. I've heard for some women it changes between each pregnancy so maybe this one just isn't getting as much hcg into your urine. But as long as the baby is okay I don't care what the tests say.

Welcome ttc!

What a cutie mumm! Hope you all enjoyed her bday.

Thanks for the kind thought unicorn. It was just the morning that was tough for me. Lunch I just had that feeling that I would vomit if I kept eating as I forced down the last few bites, and dinner was perfect. This morning I already woke up feeling a bit off, so I think I'm going to start keeping crackers by my bed again. Hope your all day nausea eases up soon!

Glad to hear your ms is easing xan, and sorry that yours is still full force mari.

Hopie - Thinking of you as always. Hope both you and your mom are doing well.

Glad you're feeling so positive Gina and country. Hoping for the best!

Just one week to go before my first scan! Can't wait!

Quick update: We saw the baby and saw the little heartbeat flutter! Everything looked good so I'm so relieved and grateful. Now I can relax for like 2 days then start worrying about everything again!

 

[lesondemavie]

Haha great news camp! So happy for you

 

[mrsmax]

Grear news campn.

Those suffering with ms have you tried rehydration tablets? I tried them and they help with the headaches. I guess they rehydrate you more efficiently than water which is good if you cant hold much down.

 

[MummaMoo]

Glad to hear your little sweet pea is ticking away nicely in there campn!

 

[xanzaba]

Campn- yay for any worry-free time in pregnancy!

Mrsmax- I haven't heard about rehydration tablets, but will look into them now. I think I might be doing a bit better these days with the nausea. However, now when I do get it, water and preggie pops make me more nauseated, so I'm out of options

 

[ttc126]

Congrats campn

 

[amantila]

campn: yay!!! Great news...glad everything went well.

Gina and Country: It sounds like you are both going through a very frustrating time! I really hope answers come for you soon! Country...best of luck on Monday with your blood test results! Let us know what happens!

hopie: sorry to hear about your mom being in the hospital. I really hope you find some relief from the horrible hg you've been experiencing...you deserve a break!

Just1: great scan pic! What a cute little bean! :]

Mummamoo: happy birthday to your little one! What a cutie pie!

ttc: congrats! I'm sure you'll be welcome here :]

xanzaba: I always feel a lot better when I eat something with protein in the morning or something more savory. I've found hard boiled eggs work really well when I can convince myself to eat one and when I can't, Carnation Instant Breakfast has worked really well.

mari: sorry about the ms...hopefully this is the worst of it and it will start to get better soon. Mine's been kicking in now pretty bad. No vomiting, but ritual dry heaving over the toilet every morning and night. Ugh.

leson: hope your ms slows down too! And yay...can't wait to hear news after your scan next week!

AFM: been suffering with a bad cold on top of ms the past two days Booo. I just want to breath through my nose again. On second thought though, I can't smell anything...which is great because smells definitely aggravate the ms.

Told my mom and dad the past two days. They are so excited! We are taking a trip to visit husband's parents tomorrow to let them in on our secret! Hopefully I'm feeling a bit better tomorrow! We are supposed to go to a gala with them for his dad's work. I don't want to be sniffling and sneezing the whole time. I should probably go to bed early tonight and get some extra rest.

What can pregnant ladies even take for stuffy noses? Anything?

 

[gina236]

Campn I knew it would be all good. So happy your little bean is all snuggled up in there.

Aman, sorry your feeling bad but yay for telling parents. It's so exciting.

AFM Bought some new prenatals and lotions. Going to be 7 weeks on Sunday. I feel like I haven't done enough yet. Been researching obgyns the past few day. There is only 1 female obgyn at the two hospitals near me that's a "tier 1" for my insurance. If I go with a male I have a few options but can't decide what I would be more comfortable with. So many decisions.

 

[campn]

Thank you ladies so much! I'm so relieved and grateful.

Gina- It took me a long time to actually pick a hospital and a doctor, I've been researching since July! I've asked everyone who lives in my area and read every hospital review. My OB/Gyn group rotates doctors so you get to meet pretty much each one of them in case when you deliver your primary doctor isn't on call.

I think find the hospital you want to deliver at first then the doctor, since some doctors deliver exclusively at one and not the other.

 

[CountryMomma]

I will make sure to update everyone on Monday as soon as I get my blood test results. At the moment I am so bloated it hurts I went out to eat and after only a few bites I felt so full I could burst and have been so bloated since I am miserable. Also so gassy!! My dog keeps looking at me funny lol Exaustion has hit me pretty hard this week, been having lots of cramps today again and have had loads of discharge.. It seems my undies are always wet! It's this thick white creamy stuff.. I remember getting it when pregnant with each of mine. Also.. If I wasn't pregnant I would be ovulating around now and no signs at all of that so that gives me more hope! I can't wait for Monday!

 

[lesondemavie]

Mrs: Great idea. I wonder if those gummies with electrolytes and such would help too. That's how I survived hiking at 17000 feet for 2 hours while vomiting. I still had to turn around from dehydration, but the packs and gummies definitely got me farther. Have to watch out on the gummies though. A lot of them have added caffeine for energy.

Aman: I think most cold medicines are a no go before 12 weeks. You could try a saline spray to clear you out, and honey for a sore throat. Hope you feel better soon!

Country: Hooray for hope! Will be thinking of you on Monday

In other news, our condo went live on MLS last night. We had an inquiry within 2 minutes. A total of 4 showings just today and more to come tomorrow! Really hope we can get a good price. Every dime we make is going towards a down payment on a house with some land and a little more room for a family

 

[Buffyx]

Campn - that is great news

Country - I'm glad you are feeling positive! Hoping for the best for you for Monday.

Leson - that is great about your condo. We just sold our house when I was pregnant with my LO and it was so stressful, but it sounds like you have a lot of interest. Buying our new place was probably even more stressful though!

AFM - my parents visited today & it was so hard pretending I felt OK when I just feel soo nauseous. My scan is on Wednesday. I should be around 7+3. Feeling pretty confident since the pregnancy is traveling the exact same as it did with my DD. But still nervous!

 

[lesondemavie]

Thanks Buffy! Glad to know you survived it all while pg even though it was tough. It will be stressful keeping the place show ready all the time, and we'll likely need to rent while we look for a new place. Not looking forward to moving twice while pg. I wanted to do all of this a year ago, but DH is slow to accept change . Thankfully I'm feeling pretty great so far. Just mild nausea in the mornings. Fingers crossed it stays that way!

 

[xxxLeoxxx]

Do any other UK ladies have their 12 week scan date through? I got my letter from the hospital off the back of my booking in appointment, it's 23rd February. Hope it comes around quick, it feels ages away! X

I got mine 19th but I know I won't meassure 12wks. More like 10 ish. Midwife is going by my last period but I know when I ovulated. Not that she believes me haha

We sold our place when I was about 34 weeks pregnant. It was really hard keeping it clean! We have 2 dogs and a cat. It was a 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 living area house. It was hard to clean all the time while so pregnant!

Then we moved 2 hours away when I was 38 weeks pregnant. I had to change hospitals and everything! We lived with friends for the first two months of our DD's life because the new house we bought hasn't settled yet. We have been here for a few months now and it's great. So we had to move twice while pregnant, and once with a newborn. It was hectic!

You can definitely do it Hopefully your nausea stays away. I couldn't move right now. I'm super nauseous. And I was in my last pregnancy until about 17 weeks.

 

[ttc126]

So exciting most of you ladies are pretty far along!!!!! I have a scan and my first appointment on Feb 18! So excited! I think we'll announce to family after that.

Oh man leson. Good luck selling your condo. I think I'd be exhausted trying to move!

Are most of you gals on #1 or #2? This will be my third. My older two are 16 months apart. I think my youngest and this baby will be about 20 months apart.
