September Snugglers 2016

[mrs unicorn]

Thanks Sarah - just had a look at your journal. You don't even have any bloat - so lucky! I hope I'm not going to put on a ton of weight during this pregnancy!! Lovely scan pics too - what made you decide to have a private scan? I wasn't even aware you could have one before joining this site.

 

[Mummy1506]

I really wish I was slim so I got a bump! I'm on the larger side & won't show til at least 30 weeks! As long as baby is healthy I'm not really bothered. Scan tomorrow so feeling a little neverous to see all is ok

 

[mrs unicorn]

Yes I agree mummy - I won't stop eating to prevent weight gain. I think the extra few pounds are probably because all I want is comfort food to help with the nausea. good luck with your scan tomorrow!

 

[ssarahh]

Mrs unicorn - thank you. I am really bloated by about lunchtime though.

I needed the reassurance from an early scan. I wasn't letting myself get excited until I knew everything was ok and I want to enjoy being pregnant so thought early scan was the best way of getting that reassurance.

Mummy - best of luck with your scan. Will be thinking of you

 

[campn]

I'm not showing yet, although I already have a bump which is more like "food and constipation" bump! I just thought since this is my second I'd show fast and people will give me weird looks. Especially if they ask and I say "mm I'm 7 weeks?"

Eat whatever you can stomach to get by! It's really survival time, even if you're not nauseous, there's still fatigue and just sad weepy feelings.

I've also been stressing myself out being worried as I notice how fast things can change and that's so scary. I hope there's no more losses for anyone who is still here

Here is my "bump" before & now pic 😂 ... I'm seriously bloated all the time and finding it hard to keep a little secret ... all I can do to stop feeling sick is eat eat eat ! 😊

Hi Ladies, how is everyone today? I am not showing yet either, but my pants are starting to feel a bit snug. This is my 4th baby, so I am expecting to pop pretty soon! My MS is getting sooooo much better Yesterday was the first day I was able to eat normal. It was so nice My fatigue is alot better too. I am 10 weeks tomorrow and hoping that means my hormones have leveled off and the placenta is starting to take over. I still have nauseous moments, but it is not 24/7.

mummy1506- Good luck on your scan tomorrow!!

mrsunicorn - great pics I feel bloated too.

campn - I have been worried too, especially with all the recent losses here. Last week was sad. It tough because we have no control. I still haven't had my first scan yet. it is not until Feb 24th. I won't be able to relax until i see a healthy bean. I really hope the no more losses either

 

[MummaMoo]

It's been such a tough week with the losses, it's so sad, and feels like we've all lost something as understandably, the ladies who have/are going through these sad times are now keeping their distance from the group.
Another thing is that, now I can only speak for myself, but following last weeks events, as I haven't had a scan yet, I just don't know what's going on in there and I'm getting more and more nervous about our scan day, so much so that it's overtaking the excitement. It's just running through my head, "what if this bean has stopped growing and I just don't know about it?"

I've had a day off sick from work today, and probably will tomorrow too. My daughter is in nursery and I feel like I just need a couple of days to recharge, I'm just so tired and feel grotty. Whether it's purely pregnancy related or a virus going around, I don't know.
Bloated? Oh yes - majorly! I've got a belly anyway, but it's definitely filling out and getting rounder. I've dug out the leggings already, just for knocking around the house.

Hugs to everyone who needs them

 

[mari35racz36]

mummamoo - i feel exactly the same....something has been lost. You just never know what is going to happen. I am even more worried then ever now and just really want to have a scan. My MS has eased up quite a bit and in my head I can help but think something could be wrong. But on the other hand, I know this is the time when ladies start to slowly feel some relief. Glad you are taking a couples day off to recharge. Hope you get to rest and enjoy your time off

 

[campn]

I had a scan at 6+3 days and we saw the baby and heartbeat but now I realize things could have changed even 30 minutes after seeing the baby, we just gotta be strong for our beans and hope and hope that they're doing good in there, if the world was more far our bodies would just tell us that things are going good, but sadly our bodies don't communicate with us this way!

We just told DH's family yesterday and I really hope things continue on okay cause if I go through a miscarriage I feel like I don't want the whole world knowing, and that they'd just chat about me on the phone

Wish we can fast forward to the second trimester! Most of you are ahead of me!

Last week threw a wrench in our happy group. Theoretically, you know that early pregnancy loss happens and some of us have dealt with it. Personally this weekend was hard because I cycled through hurting for our bump ladies, worry about my bean, and then guiltily feelings for making it about me. I have to say there are some strong, amazing ladies on this board going through hard times, but we snugglers are there through thick and thin, to cheer on the good times and be there through the bad. I'm sure that we will see the strong ladies again in future first trimester posts and hopefully we have given them some help through the hard times.

Thank you, snugglers, I know that I would find it a lot harder to be going through this pregnancy without you ladies, and I hope I am there for when you begin to worry or need to vent.

 

[Sweety21]

Loosing someone and specifically part of our own is worst thing one can go through. I have been there are trust me you just can't let it go. Anyways, fx that this group doesn't have anymore losses.

I am showing already and this is my third. The belly is feels so mucj rounder and looks like there is football in there. I am already wearing maternity clothes of my last time. And I am only 7weeks today.

Campn, I am behind you. And also seen bean with hb but, crampings are giving me doubts about well being of bean. Can only pray it's not what I think it is.

 

[mari35racz36]

Campn- you are right, we must stay strong. We have only told my parents, DH's parent's and my sister. Once i have had my 12 weeks and know all is well, then we will tell everyone else. I can hardly wait for the 2nd tri! I feel like the 1st tri seems so long.

Ladies! You have not lost one ounce of my support! I'm hanging back, but still popping in to see your wonderful updates. Hope you all don't mind . I just get so invested in everyone's story, and it's hard to say goodbye.

I'm so sorry the mood is so somber here. It's really the last thing I would want for any of you, but I definitely get it. I know the thought of what happened to me is scary. I felt that fear every day between my BFP and my 8 week scan, but I'm so glad I chose to focus on the happiness and joy instead. The worry wouldn't have changed one thing, and now I can look back on the short time I had with fondness instead of fret and fear. Please, not for me but for your own sakes, treasure every single day. This sounds odd to say, but I even treasure the time I had between the baby passing and my scan. It feels ok that I didn't find out earlier, because that time was still just so amazing. I know that it doesn't really work this way, but I hope that maybe just maybe I, and the others who have lost, have taken the bullet for the group so the rest of you won't have to go through that...but if you do, I'll be here for you and I hope you too can look back through the tears with a heart full of love instead of pain.

Ttc and I are in touch and supporting one another, and my life is so very full of love and support from family, friends, and furbabies . Only a few know what I'm going through, but they're the ones whom I trust the most. My journal is short but up and in my signature now. Feel free to pop in any time.

Look back on those beautiful, healthy scans. There is so much more of that now and to come in here!

[campn]

Leson- Awww my eyes are full of tears streaming down my face now. There's a huge amount of love here that is unbelievable and I think besides all our worries we are just sad we lost some of the wonderful ladies here, I think we all feel like it's not the same without some of you so definitely come and check on us and we'll be stalking your journal and cheering you on until you get your next BFP so we can be there for you all over again, this may be a September babies thread but we ALL are in for the same end result, a baby in our arms.

I'm thinking of you all the time and you're in my thoughts and my prayers.

 

[Just1more2]

Is second all of you ladies. It was a hard week. Even seeing your bean is never a guarantee. My OH works with a couple that were due 2 days after me, and they lost their bean on Friday at 10 weeks. It is such a scary time...

to all of you strong women, I am so glad we are in this together.

Leson - thank you for your inspirational words. Feel free to hang around if you feel up to it!! we would miss your energy around here!!

 

[MummaMoo]

Absolutely. You're still a snuggler to us Leson.

 

[mari35racz36]

leson - You've brought tears to my eyes. You such an amazing and strong person Please stay in touch and keep us updated. I know you will be back in the 1st tri soon!! You will always be a snuggler

You're such a strong & caring women! I don't know I could of mustered all the strength you have to support others the way you have going through what you're right now.

glad to hear you have the support around you that is important at such difficult times. I hope your sticky bean is just around the corner for you.
