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

if it was the doctor that told me i would not mind it was just some women in the shop lol im sure it will go soon it is just a case of trying everything i can to keep it soothed lol and no you can never have too much information but some advice is jut not helpful like the womans who said il be coughing all pregnancy lol
 
no sheeeet , right! LORDY! I am a smart ass, I would have asked, "umm so where do you have your pulmonary licence from?" ROFL!!!!!
 
i didn't think of that lol wish i was that quick thinking lol she just really infuriated me lol
 
Shawnie: Breast milk is truely amazing, when a baby is premature the mom's breast milk contains the exact thing that the baby needs at that stage in developement, ie; if baby is needing more protien and less sugars that is exactly what the milk has... Its pretty awesome. I go to the Dr. the 09th of dec. I may go crazy before then....

How about very little cramping? I get a little cramp after I pee, but mainly I have had these twinges on my right side, near my ovary. Hearing all about the ladies cramping and how it's the uterus stretching, it makes me worried that my little bean isn't growing....I know it's probably stupid, but I have never done this before and have no idea what is right and not...
 
Hope everyone is doing ok! Not as nauseous today. Yay!!! I truly feel like the more sleep I get the less nauseous I am the following day.
 
Hey glad your doing ok rebecca

SDBL everyones cramping is different but the cramps i had for the first 12 weeks were exactly like af cramps and they can sometimes be quite painful but if it hasn't already morning sicknes may kick in soon hope your ok tho and im sure everything is fine with your lo
 
Hey ladies,
I was actually able to eat a whole meal at lunch today!! Major improvement! The little things excite me. :rofl:
 
nice when that happens lol hopefully it will stay like that
 
Hey ladies, How is every one today?

Dmn - i hope you;re feelin a little better today, despite what that silly woman said to you!

Rebecca - i agree with the sleep thing. I worked out pretty quickly that the less sleep i got the more sick i felt. I now try to be in bed at 9pm on a work night and i feel so much better for it. gkad you've mangaged to eat too. Wish i could find my appetite!

SDBL - cramps are normal. Every one told me that early on though and it didnt stop me worrying. I had AF like cramps up until a couple of weeks ago and was sure i was gonna come on. Now it's just twinges and pains, although they do take your breath away every now and then.

Well i'm ok today. I'm constantly hungry but there is nothing i want to eat. I cant really cook anything as the smell makes me sick. it's so frustrating. My head wants to eat but my tummy is just not playing. My DH lives away monday to friday so i have no one to cook for me either. Getting impatient waiting on my bump to appear. Cant decide if it's started or not yet as i have a bit of a podgy tummy anyway. My uniform at work is too tight now but feel like a fraud moving into my maternity unbiform when i dont really have a bump yet!

is anyone else showing yet and if so how far along were you before your bump began to show?
 
ginger i had the problem of not being able to cook it is awful as for the bump well it should start anytime now and you need to be comfortable so my advice would be if it is more comfortable then move into the maternity wear

I have been in my maternity trousers for about 4 weeks now and i have got bit of a bump now
 
for future reference.... How do you buy maternity clothes? What are some of the must haves?
 
first must have for me was a good support bra and then comfortable trousers and underwear lol
 
Hi Ladies...

Rebecca - yay for being able to eat some actual meals....!!! Thats great.

DMN - hope you are starting to feel better, my dear... Dont listen to ol hags they dont know what they are talking about.... LOL

Ginger - I soooooo couldnt cook either, it was horrible, I just started cooking again... The only thing I could cook before was grilled cheese and tomatoe soup, not much of a smell, so we ate that alot and cereal...LOL... Im getting way better now though, THANK GOD!!! I have a lil bump but Im also super skinny (got the high metabolism from my dad) so its easy to see when the lower half of my abdomen came out a bit, right below my bikini line down to my hair line I had a lump and I believe that is where the actual baby is right now but where my bell button is, looks like a bump and I believe its all of my other organs getting pushed up and some bloat. I sooooo have to use a hair elastic to attach to my button on my pants ( I wrap it around the button and then slip the other end thru the button hole and them wrap that 2nd end around the button again) that gives me extra room because I cant button my pants anymore... Also, have you heard of belly bands... Not sure if you are in UK or not but I bought two from Walmart here in the states and they work pretty good... Thats another option for your pants.. I soooooo dont want to dive into maternity clothes... I dont think they are going to look at all flattering on me because Im soo skinny, I am going to improvize until then, long sweaters and sweat shirts with belly bands on my pants.... LOL... I hate spending $$ since I dont have much of it and especially for clothes Im only going to wear for a few months.. I have some other friends that are prego so Im hoping to borrow a bunch of maternity clothes... I heard looking on craigs list or ebay you can find a ton of maternity clothes that people want to sell.... Good Luck..!!!!!

SDBL - hope you are doing okay with your crampies... as long as you arent bleeding at the same tiime you are okay, my friend..... Think of it as your body making room for the baby thats what the dr told me.... Babies growing so your uterus is getting bigger and making more room in your body.... Keep that vision in your head and you will be A-okay.!!!! :hugs: Try not to worry to much, not good for the babes.....

Okay who else did I miss.....

Shawnie - Hope all is well, are you feeling the baby move everyday or once in a while??? ARe you currently in maternity clothes yet???

Me well Im okay, soooo excited for my scan tomorrow... Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!! One of my girl friends had her baby at 2 am this morning, she was in labor for almost 36 hours I believe.... She was 10 days overdue and they induced her, she labored all that time and then they took her in for a c-section at proably around midnight or 1am... She didnt know what she was having and they had a boy!!! Soo excited for her.... Is everyone going to find out what they are having???? I think I am, me and DH like to be prepared... I want to decorate and have all the cute lil gender specific clothes, ect... I like surprises but I think I can bond more with the baby too if we knew what it was... We keep talking about names and we start to get into a heated disagreement on certain ones soooooo we are going to wait until we find out so we can talk about one gender and thats it!!!! So thats the plan, ladies... Hope all is well.... Now Im counting the hours until tomorrow afternoon.... They are doing the NT scan that will check for Downs syndrome and then we will sit with the nurse to go over the results of the scan and my bloods... Keep your fx'd, please.......
 
Melsue im not feeling as bad but still not great either it is the cough that is lingering more than anything im just hoping it is going to go soon im so glad your feeling better and can cook and eat again

hope everyone else is doing ok today

ASF well still feeling a bit rough but not as bad as i have been the cough is lingering and i still have a blocked nose but on a whole not bad im sure it is going to leave soon i am definitely going to get the h1n1 as soon as it is available as if this is what flu has done to me well it does not bare thinking about so i say sod what the doctor says i have 2 kids to think about nd im getting it regardless im going to make an appointment at the docs tomorrow and see if there is anything else they can do to help shift it worth a try right
 
Yes its a good choice to get it... I was fine after I got the H1N1 no biggie...
 
The morning sickness has let up a lot. Infact me being me I am worrying about that. I've had light crampiness since last night. I had an INSANE hot flash on my way home from work. I am grateful to not feel nauseous and catch a break. But when you're feeling it all the time and that's your major symptom and it just goes away for 2 days it kind of makes you wonder. Please tell me I'm crazy and I shouldn't be worrying!!

I was actually able to make a real dinner last night!! I think DH was relieved. Haha! I made baked ziti and garlic bread. Yum!! Infact I have the leftovers for lunch today.

I am really clueless about maternity clothes. I don't want to buy anything until I have to. I'm pretty skinny too. My mother in law already told me I'm going to look funny pregnant because I have such a tiny frame. Well gee.. I can't wait til you tell me how funny I look when I'm super hormonal and 9 months pg!! Ugh! Some people just don't think before they speak. And I know my father in law will make comments too because that is in his nature. You don't say things like that to a self conscious woman!! We will need to nip that in the bud. I remember when my sis in law's best friend was pg and my father in law saw her and she was 6 months pg at the time my father in law was like... "woah!! you're getting huge!" Who freaking says that? Again... some people need to think before they speak. Sorry for my rant. My in laws just make me crazy sometimes. It's ashame because my sister has a ton of maternity clothes but they will not fit. She's 5 feet tall and has humongous boobs and weighs more than me. And her pants are petites. I am 5 foot 7 and my boobs are not that big.. So I don't think borrowing her clothes will work out.
 
i felt better for a while rebecca but be cautious and enjoy it while it lasts as it may come back hopefully it wont but dont worry im sure it is all fine

Need a bit of advice when i started with this flu and the cough started my doctor gave me a simple cough linctus which did not work so i spoke to the pharmacy and they gave me something else with an expectorant in it but now im not coughing up so much and the cough is just a little tickly should i give the stuff the doctor gave me a chance to kick the rest of it or just use the one i got from the pharmacy
 
rebecca i know what you mean about people thinking before they speak and dont be self conscious im sure your going to look radient and you may only get a small neat bump just dont tolerate tho

i had someone say something to me yesterday about my cough saying id have it all pregnancy i mean why say that they could clearly see i was distressed by the stupid cough that feels like it is killing me half the time i sat worrying that i was going to have this cough for the next 5 months
