September Snugglers 2016

[mari35racz36]

Welcome to all the new ladies So sorry for the losses. Wishing you all a H&H 9 months

 

[Just1more2]

Welcome and congrats new ladies! We are so happy to have you! Your dates have been added to page one!

I am sorry good both of your losses. Many of us have lost pecious little lives and I think we can all find comfort and reassurance in each other.
Xanzaba! What a lovely scan! You may be our first! *if not I apologize!* that looks like a perfect sticky little bean!

Hope - we both will have 2 September babies! My ds was born on September 7th 2010 and I am due with this baby on the 3rd! What miracle babies you have! Sticky dust your way!

 

[lesondemavie]

Aman - They probably rescheduled it bc they'll have a better chance of seeing the heartbeat then. That's really the only reassurance you can get for now, and our new little beans are probably too small to see just yet.

Xan - That's amazing! I haven't heard of seeing a heartbeat that early. Congrats!

I just switched my PCP (sad bc I love her, but I figure I could always switch back), so I could get into this center that is highly recommended in this area. Only place where I found obgyns that look like good matches for me. Called today for an appointment, but had to leave a voicemail. Fingers crossed that all goes smoothly!

Welcome to all the new ladies and congrats!

I had my third beta today and it was 2713 at 20dpo, so I'm happy. And it's still doubling in less than 48 hours. I go back in a week for my fourth beta, then my scan will get scheduled. Really hoping to see a healthy baby with a strong heartbeat when we get to that point!

I had my third beta today 2419 that's the last one they are going to do until my scan

 

[littledreamer]

I am jumping in...cautiously optimistic here as I have strong lines super sore breasts, nausea, hunger, and fatigue. I think the 12 week wait would make me crazy if I did not have this site to connect with other people.

I got my BFP 10 dpo on the 21st. (Faint line on the 20th) I however am 42 and this is my first ever pregnancy.

I was just married in May of this year. I have known my DH since I was 18, we met and dated in college. Our lives went in different directions, we remained friends and got back together in our mid thirties. Neither of us had ever married and I truly believe we were meant to be.

We right now are married living apart as we house hunt. Our jobs are in different states, We both teach school, and had a wonderful break together. But we are apart during the week until we find a central location to live. If this baby is to be then all of my dreams would be coming true in one year. I thought a baby was a longshot for us, but we decided to just relax and see what would happen.
I had a scare as my breast was leaking, thought I had cancer, or was starting menopause. I felt "off" and tested on a whim. I still can't believe it.

Every time I feel something I run to the bathroom petrified of a miscarriage, every morning when I wake up and I feel sick with sore boobs..I feel so relieved. Who knew nausea would be such a happy feeling. I am currently at 5 weeks and 3 days. My first appointment is on January 21st. I will be about 8 weeks.
Happy Healthy Wishes to All ! I love reading about everyone's journey and having this site to keep me company as I wait and worry, and hope and dream. My due date is Sept. 2

 

[aidensxmomma]

I'm going in for my first beta tomorrow morning. I'm starting to get really nervous.

littledreamer - Congrats and welcome

:wave: hi new mummmies to be!! What a lovely group of ladies. I am quite enviiusof all those wonderful betas. Wish they did them as standard in UK. Instead I'm still poas and having to be content with seeing some nice lines! cb week indicator still says 1-2 though but only 14dpo today so not stressing (much!!)

Working from home today. Going to be tough to concentrate. All I want to do is being bnb and obssess over my bfp!!

To aidensmomma. Hope you get good beta. Littledreamer- what a great love story. Hope you find a house before baby arrives!

 

[MummaMoo]

Yeah, POAS addict here too! Don't stress to much about the cb digi test, I've read that lots of people don't have much faith in them and they're not overly accurate sometimes. Although I know it's not an exact science, I'd rather see lines getting darker anyday.

Welcome to all of our new ladies!

 

[xanzaba]

Good morning ladies!

I am very logical and love to have measurables for the pregnancy to show it's going well (I know I'm a geek). I found this website and it helped me figure out what week to expect on clear blue weeks estimator.

https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/reviews/K112870.pdf

Also, I'm still taking temps. It keeps me mostly sane, although little blips are still concerning.

I'm getting to the point that I have to carry around granola bars with me. It's reassuring to have pregnancy symptoms, but starting back up at work, it's a bit inconvenient. Especially since I won't be telling anyone until 2nd trimester this time around!

 

[mrsmax]

Xanzabar that is complicated stuff! Good find though

 

[mari35racz36]

Good morning ladies!! I called my doctor yesterday and have my first appt for Friday morning. Yay!!! I really want to know what my betas are. I'm not feeling too sick yet. My morning sickness usually starts to show up between 5-6 weeks. Maybe I'll get luck this time around an fit stays away

Love all the nice beta levels ladies are posting. They all look really good

Xanzaba - thanks for the link I love having measurables a too.

Mrsmax - even though I will get my betas done on Friday I am still a POAS addict too! Lol The first few week are so nerve wracking and I always need to be reassured it's all good. I was planning today to go and buy another double pack. Lol I've never had the best of luck with CB digital. Don't worry about it at all.

Little dreamer - congratulations!!!! Your story is amazing and seems like it was definitely meant to be I even run to the bathroom every time I think I could be bleeding. Sorry if tmi, but I've got a lot of cm early on. Feels like as gush coming out sometimes. The first tri is definitely nerve wracking, especially with your first. Wishing you a H&H 9 months.

 

[mari35racz36]

Little dreamer - I forgot to mention, my sister in law had her first baby at 45. She had zero complications and now has a happy and healthy 2.5 year old daughter. She is even talking about having another

 

[lesondemavie]

Xan - Yay so happy to have another science nerd on here ! Love that you posted a .gov article!

My line is getting darker, so that is reassuring. Stinks that it's just the developing placenta that secretes the hormones, causing the rise in hcg and any symptoms we notice. Wish there was a way to tell that little sprout is still doing ok too. Ah well, at least I know that there's plenty of what (s)he needs. for that first scan...

They don't do betas for everyone, right? I'm thinking I'll just go in around my first scan.

 

[xanzaba]

Yep, science geek all around. And yes, I like using .gov resources because it's our tax dollars giving us some useful information

They don't normally do betas everywhere I've gone. They usually don't see you until 8 weeks, at which point betas are a bit pointless. With my history they just want to be extra cautious.

 

[lesondemavie]

So I woke up this morning around 5 or so to pee (this has become routine), and then shortly later I became extremely hungry. I tried snacking on some carrot sticks and banana chips, but I just felt super weak and icky. I went back to DH and just cried. Nothing sounded good and I didn't want to eat more, but I was so hungry. Actually the only thing that sounds good is bacon, which I haven't liked or had in 20 years! He got up and made me some oatmeal and eggs. I nibbled on them and feel a bit better, but the smells of everything are so intense, not nauseating (yet) just intense (the smell thing is new for me). Ah sorry just felt like I needed to vent to some women who are probably going through something similar. I think it's more fear of how much worse it is going to get. Maybe I just need to add more iron to my diet. With the holidays and traveling, I haven't had my usual chicken and dark leafy green dinner in a while. I've been living off of salads and sides (since I don't eat ham or steak), and people tend not to use the good veggies for holiday sides. Fingers crossed that helps and this is not my new norm!

 

[Just1more2]

I need to vent a little too ladies.

A coworker just brought in her newborn. He is beautiful obviously. None of my other coworkers know that I am pregnant. But now I am irrationally afraid that I will never have this baby. I can just sense the devastation I would feel if I lose this bean. I feel like I won't be ok for a long time if I something happens to this pregnancy. I have no foundation for these fears, everything seems to be going well *knock on wood!!* so far. I am just so afraid that now that I am almost passed the chemical pregnancy milestone, that I will loose this baby in weeks 6 or 7. I want a little one to hold and snuggle. I want to know for sure that everything is ok and I have a beating heart in there. I have so few symptoms that it is easy to forget that I am even pregnant (not that I could because I am obsessing over it every second) I am terrified, and I don't really have a reason to be. Do these fears ever go away?

 

[amantila]

Lesondemavie and just1more2...I feel the same way! All I have eaten so far today is a handful of almonds...everything looks/smells bad.
And I totally understand the worry! So afraid of losing the little bean! Although I have no reason to worry personally...just knowing that a loss could potentially happen worse case scenario is scary.
