So I guess this is my first Nine Month Wait...

[Kelly9]

I just find it hard to get out of bed in general! I have to roll myself off the side to stand up now! The belly seems to be growing exponentially now even though I haven't put weight on in like a month. I am back up to 20 pounds heavier which is where I topped out last time but sometimes it falls down to 18. I'm not complaining.

What I will complain about is this nagging sore throat I Have, I am still hoping it's dryness but it hasn't let up much all day so we'll see what tomorrow brings.

One more day with the preceptor! and it's a half day so just got to make it from 8 till 12! Wahoo!!!!

Hi all

I presume this is my new home! Got my BFP yesterday at approx 12dpo on my 5th cycle - yay!

This is the first time I have been pregnant and I must say, I am a little overwhelmed!

A little about my story. I spent the first 3 months actually getting quite obsessed and spending way too much time on the internet (and BnB in particular). I POAS quite a lot and got to the stage where I thought it would never happen, which I know is silly after 3 months but I am sure most of us felt this at some point.

I used a more relaxed approach the last couple of months by staying away from anything TTC related where possible, no POAS and no looking at dates (although I knew when I was ovulating because my body tell me!)

So, here I am, feeling a little bit out of my comfort zone in First Tri - somewhere I both surprised and pleased to be! It feels weird moving over here.

I am totally CLUELESS on being pregnant. I even rang the GP this morning to say that I had just found out I am pregnant - and did I need to make an appointment?

Hopefully I will pick it up as I go along!

Welcome Starmoon and congrats!

 

[Kelly9]

Hello all!
Welcome starmoon! You will find that although this thread is in the first tri most of us are in our 3rd tri or just popped. A few of us including myself are preggo with our 2nd or 3rd babies. So there's lots of answers here if you need them.
Kelly & Dmn - Bah for sore throats. Hope you both feel better quickly. Hugs!

The kids and I are sitting in the basement once again due to tornado sirens going off. I always try to be honest with my children by explaining things to them as they are (in their language of course) but my DD is a "Worry Wart". Everytime that siren goes off she panics and says she doesn't want us to die. So I spend the majority of my time consoling her during a warning.

Both DD and DS had annual doctors appts today. Yay for everyone being healthy but boo for 6 shots between the 2 of them. We made it tho.
Yay for 34 weeks and 38 days til c-section tmw! Wow this turned into a long post lol. Nite girlies!

 

[Kelly9]

yeah the throat is annoying me I am getting whiny. I don't handle sore throats well. I am however enjoying all the sugary snacks I can tonight, my levels have been off a bit lately and before I am told 100% that I can't eat certain things I am going to have a night of enjoyment then become a good girl.

 

[Mrs_N]

ah hope your sore throat feels better soon kelly, it's the worst thing!

welsome starmoon. congrats on your bfp! when I got mine I booked in to see my GP - they don't check a pregnancy test here, but you need to see them to get referred to the midwife.

Morning ladies

Kelly: Really hope that sore throat gets better for you soon!

west: Glad your appointments went well and wow so close for you too!

dmn and Mrs_N: how are you ladies today?

Well still not getting any sleep here I'm so exhausted but baby is sitting on my bladder and it really hurts and makes me feel like I have to run to the bathroom every 15 minutes ugh! Oh well have to keep telling myself that I should have him in my arms kicking and screaming in a few days. I'm just so worried something will go wrong before then

 

[westbrja]

Oh Meld, please try not to worry too much. I'm sure everything will be fine and you will see soon.

Well I woke up this morning feeling like my bump was a little different. I got to work and a few people already have mentioned that it looks like I have dropped. I'm peeing every 30 mins but just a tiny amount each time and I have the worst lower back pain. The nerve in the center of my back feels like its being pinched. Hopefully this baby lasts til August. My family keeps saying she's coming in July. Contractions are still frequent.

How's everyone today?

 

[Kelly9]

Well maybe she will come in july west, based on what you're saying I'd say there is a good chance. My bubs gas gotten lower but only a little, I wouldn't say he's dropped quiet yet just making his way down there. Its my first though and they say that 92% of frist time pregnancies go over by as many as 8 days!!!! Crazy.

Gonna pack my hospital bag around week 37 I think.

 

[meldmac]

Update in my journal if anyone would like to read about my dr's appointment

 

[Kelly9]

Well sore throat has gone however the congestion has moved in. Still it's better then a sore throat! I got a big update in my journal to about the diabetes thing, you can read it there if you like, I'm not typing it all out again.

 

[meldmac]

Well I'm apparently "on call" with the hospital now. Dr. sent in the form for the induction and said I could be called anytime between now and Monday and that if I don't hear from them by Monday morning I'm to call him and let him know. I'm so happy that at least we're getting somewhere now!

 

[Kelly9]

Oh wow thats crazy!!!! Just remember to post on BnB that you're off to hospital for induction so we know what happened to you!

 

[Mrs_N]

ooooh meld, how exciting! can't wait to meet little one!

 

[westbrja]

Yay for a baby Meldmac! How can you stand the wait? I would be looking at the phone every second lol.

 

[meldmac]

West: I am I am having an even hard time sleeping now because I keep expecting the phone to ring!

 

[Kelly9]

Meld want to hear something funny? You added me a while back on FB and I knew that you were form BnB so I added you but I just literally figured out yesterday that you're Mel Mac on FB! Every time i would see your profile come up on the side I'd be like, who the heck is she? Bahahaha. It was only when I saw your status stating you were "on call" and then saw it on here that my brain made the connection. Oh god I want my wits back!
