Snowflake bump buddies and friends

[mrsstreet0417]

Oh, BK... Sending huge your way...I am so sorry that this happened to you. SO this is your 4th? My 4th was on the 9th, so I feel your pain-Hope you start feeling better soon, and we are all here for you.

 

[snugglebot]

BK. So sorry you couldn't continue the journey with us. You know we will continue to be there for you though.

 

[bklove]

I'll still be keeping up with you guys snugglebot, even though its not quiet the same. Mrsstreet this is my 1st ectopic after 3 m/c's. I do get to go see a specialist now though, so we'll see what happens. I was reading up on the drug they gave me and I may have to wait a while to ttc though, poopers!

Anyway, how are you guys coming along?

 

[snugglebot]

BK, Mrsstreet and Dawny, it's totally understandable that things are different for you. I know this thread might be hard for you so we won't be upset if you can't stay in touch through this way. But PM me anytime if you want to chat.

And because this is a bump buddies thread, here are some pics of my bloat so far.

The first pic is the day before I got my bfp (I just knew I would), then at 6w + 3, and yesterday at 8 + 3. I just noticed in this post that the camera is zoomed in more each time... ah the tricks we can play

 

[mrsstreet0417]

What a cute little bump you have there Snugglebot, coming along great . To tell the truth, keeping up with all of you kind of helps me in a way-know that sounds strange probably. It keeps my mind off of my own babies watching all of your babies grow... Just hope I don't bug you all too much

 

[dawny690]

Snuggles thats a cute bump I say bump because it is growing as a bump should lol I love coming in here and seeing how you ladies are as like mrsstreet says it keeps our minds off our own problems and we can focus on your babies also I maybe dumb but why the heck isnt V involved in this thread I wanna see her bump too xxx

 

[chrissie33]

Hey girls, loving the bump pics snuggs! I did think about V but with preggo brain, it went straight out of my head..... we should tell her to come along!!

 

[bklove]

I like the preggo bump to! It'll be cool to see the progression as you go along.

 

[OpheliaX]

Ok chrissie or someone we need to send her an invite in her journal.

 

[snugglebot]

I PM'd her....

 

[mrsstreet0417]

Happy 9 weeks Snugglebot! And OpheliaX, Happy almost 8 weeks! and, if I'm not mistaken, isn't Lunaty 5 weeks now? Hope all of you are doing well. How are you Bk and Dawny?

 

[dawny690]

Doing ok despite no proper witch just 5 days of spotting which doesnt count as AF xx

 

[OpheliaX]

Thanks mrsstreet. A little paranoid today due to lack of symptoms.

 

[snugglebot]

Ophelia, you are exactly at the same point I was when my symptoms disappeared. They came back a few days later. Enjoy the reprieve and eat what you fancy!

So sorry Dawny about your crazy cycle. When's your next dr appt?

My maternity clothes shopping trip on Wednesday was promptly kiboshed by the more experienced pregnant ladies in the other forums. They just said it wasn't worth spending money on alot of clothes that may or may not fit when I need them most (once bloat turns to a big bump). Which is logical enough, just wish I could have found a way to know what my size could be so that I could take advantage of being in a city where I can try on clothes instead of guessing if they will fit via online shopping later in the summer. I hate online shopping. I don't think I have ever been happy with clothes I have bought online...

 

[mrsstreet0417]

Dawny, sorry about the irregular cycle, hopefully will make her way to you soon...OpheliaX, hope soon that your symptoms will come back (just enough for you to feel pregnant) soon Snugglebot, sorry that your maternity clothes shopping trip was discouraged by the other ladies-if your regular clothes do not fit maybe try getting some regular pants that are a size or two bigger and with stretchy elastic in them? Which, I suppose might be the same...hmm..maybe a bump band?

 

[Vestirse]

Well thanks for the invite all of you, but I was reading the front page and I realize it says it's for people due in November/December. I'm due in October! are we cool with that? If so, I'm in!

 

[mrsstreet0417]

Hey Vestirse! It's fine with me, but as I'm not due in November/December either, or any other time in the next 9 months...LOL...

 

[dawny690]

Yay Vestirse glad your here xxx

 

[Lunaty]

hello hello everyone.. 7 weeks now lady's yay...

belly bands sound like a fab idea.. jeans still fit t's generally only the button i need to undo atm hahahahaahah

 

[chrissie33]

Hey V - absobloodylutely babe!! Fab to have you and sorry I didn't think of it myself sooner!! preggo brain eh!

Well snuggs, whilst I am not one to openly disagree with anyone experienced in this, I would say that a few staple items from maternity range is not a bad idea. I went shopping at the weekend as NONE of my trousers would do up and I was wearing jeans a big size too big that looked too big if you know what I mean. I bought a superb pair of trousers with jersey band in my normal size (as advised by the people in each maternity department I visited) because they say that they are designed with your size in mind, but allowing you to grow where necessary. I may well need to buy more in a few months but for £20 it was well worth getting a pair of decent, plain, super comfy black trousers and a pair of adjustable skinny jeans (yes I did say skinny jeans - Chrissie gets pg then decides it time to start dressing in skinny jeans.....lol) but hey, I am making the most of actually having legs that will fit them for the time being (all beit a bit tighter than I would like....lol)

If you can still get into your regular clothes then they of course have a valid point but I did consult with LadyT on this and she agreed that it is not too early to get some items as I am getting bigger and need clothes that fit - going a size or two bigger results in clothes that 'look' too big everywhere else.

Sam I cannot believe you are 7 weeks already!! Wow. thats gone quick babe!
