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

[shawnie]

Morning ladies!

Melsue I only felt the baby move 2 times so far, once last sat and then again on monday. I haven't felt real pregnant for the past 2 days... I found a doppler on craigslist for 8 bucks but DP said I'd over obsess on it and said he didn't want me to buy it. grrrr but he's RIGHT lol

I've been in maternity cloths for weeks now, they are so much more comfertable and my pants were tight to begin with that as soon as I started bloating they didn't fit anymore hahaha

We want to find out the sex, we choose not to talk of any names or anything till after we find out. Once we know, then we will start talking about names,room colors, and things like that.. After reading all that others are going through with opinions on names n such I think were gonna just not tell anyone the name we choose till the baby is born.. I don't want to deal with that... I'll just keep saying "nope we haven't thought of one yet" or "were still thinking of one"

Rebecca, I had a gal friend whose been calling me "hey fatty" and I told her not to call me that. I am waiting to see if she does again cuz I have planned to ripp her a new arse if she does. She says it's no "offence, and just a figure of speech" but I don't give a crap I don't want to be called that. I'm not fat im making a baby dumb arse. =))))))) Can't tell hormones are acting up can you? hahahahaha

I have all sorts of little comments ready for anyone who says dumb things to me about my tummy. If any of it sounds like insults on them then thats ok to me, then they get the point and stop making comments that sound insulting towards me...

hey shawnie i dont blame take no crap and show no mercy lol

i am going to find out the sex im too excited not too lol

 

[shawnie]

I am the same way, I would go nuts not knowing! hahaha Id be calling the doc asking over and over to tell me lol

Instead of morning sickness I'm getting intense hot flashes, light cramping, bloating and sore boobs. So I guess if all symptoms went out the window I should be more concerned. But I still worry. I just want to go to the doctor already. The fact that they make you wait until 10 weeks is absurd. I get it.. but it doesn't help for those worrying first time mothers out there!!

If I had a friend that called me "fatty" while pg I'm pretty sure I'd wind up punching her. Haha. Saying things like that to a pregnant woman is not ok. And I've never gained weight in my life. I've been blessed with a great metabolism. So putting on weight during pregnancy is going to be very weird and hard for me. So if ANYONE including my in laws have something to say about it I will absolutely let them know how I feel. My father in law cannot talk though... he's overweight and has a huge belly. I can come back with some clever things.

 

[dmn1156]

make sure you do if he says anything lol i dont see why women should be called names pregnant or not im not super skinny but im not fat either just a little over the weight i should be but people say oh your big for 17 weeks i just say no im not im perfectly fine i can still get into some of my trousers so i cant be that big right

 

[Melsue129]

Oh Shawnie how cool... Dont worry so much... But i gotta tell ya, your going to hear mixed feelling about dopplers from everyone... I have one a cheapy and I found the heartbeat both times that I use it but I also keep in mind that if I dont hear it I will not panic, just try again another day...

Rebecca, dont panic! MS will let up some here and there, maybe its the babies way of giving you a little break in between so you eat some good food, ya know.. Girl, you have every other symptom so I wouldnt worry at all... Crampies are good!!! As long as you arent bleeding.... Just enjoy the breather like DMN said because chances are it will be back.... eeeeekkkk...

Okay ladies... Soo when we were trying to conceive we would get the weird comments from friends and such and now that we are prego we have to worry about people still saying dumb stuff, its gotta give right? Oh and when the babes come out we are sure to run into people calling it a boy if its really a girl and so on... So SCREW EM ALL!!!! Just hang in there.... I gotta say I too have been skinny my whole life and its soooooo strange to see some things expand like they are... Wow.... DH likes the boobs now, not like he complained before but he said lastnight, wow it still looks like you are still wearing one of your padded bra's - I said Nope... He follows up with Daaaaammmnnnn!!!! Cute, no stretch marks on them yet, been worried about those too seeing that my body is going to have to stretch alot..

 

[dmn1156]

i never really got streth marks on my boobs just loads o my tummy lol

 

[cbmommy]

I'm trying not to worry. But I am notorious for worrying about nothing. I just ate a yogurt and now feel sick. Bleck... So here the ms comes again. I knew it was too good to be true! But I have welcomed the break. I'm going to dinner with a good friend tomorrow night. I hope to still be ok by then so I can enjoy a normal meal at a restaurant. I'm also going to tell her tomorrow night that I'm pg. I'm not going to see her again until 12/19 which is her birthday and I don't want to tell her on her birthday and steal her thunder at her party. So I'm just going to tell her a bit early.

we wont find out the sex, my hubby josh, doesnt want to at all, he is starting to change his mind now, but I'm not going to let him, its exciting when parents dont know what they're having and you get to tell them!

DMN: sounds like you're starting to feel better! Glad to hear that

people don't think sometimes when they talk, it's like a filter is missing in their head, I don't understand the things that people say sometimes, it amazing....

Very excited to hear about moving kidletts, thats wonderful for you!

AFM: rough day at work, I ended up admitting two patients and was on my footsies the whole 12 hours, started to feel pretty sick in the OR but sniffed an alcohol pad and felt a little better. I talked to the dr about having NO cramps and that Iwas worried my little beanie wasn't growing, he asked if I had any other symptoms and told him a few, he said no worries. It didn't help, lol. Is it normal to be this crazy about everything? I'm so used to being in control of things and I feel like I can do nothing.... I don't feel pregnant, if hadn't taken the test I would think I just had a UTI and an increased metabolism...

hi girlies sorry not been around much!! been feeling a bit crappy just soooo fed up! hate being on knicker watch for spotting or bleeding of any sort! had more spotting yesterday just want to enjoy being pregnant hoping it will pass soon? midwife ap went ok but she basically told me to sit back and relax till my 12 week scan and kept banging on about how common it is for people to loose there baby in first 12 weeks so not very reasurring then she put me as high risk and put me under the consultant due to the bleeding...but unsure what to do now, if i have another big bleed do i ring her or the epu? only asking that cos it feels like im going to have one soon.

how is everyone else doing? dmn hows the flu?

hows everyones morning sickness? i managed not to be sick yesterday after lunch and dinner xxx

 

[dmn1156]

Wannabeamom id phone epu everytime as really they need to scan you on a regular basis but im sure it will all be well have been thinking about you hoping you were ok

the flu is still lingering but hopefully it is on its way out

 

[lil_angel]

Hey girls....

...Can i join in here too? I jsut got my this morning, so this is my first day in 1st tri!

Lil xx

 

[cbmommy]

Congrats lil!!! Welcome!!

 

[Melsue129]

Welcome Lil Angel!!!!

Wannabe - Girl you are a stone throw from the 12 week scan.... Hang in there honey, I would definitely call the emergency unit if you have heavy bleed.. Just so you know I had spotting while pregnant, sometimes they say its just the placenta really attaching and getting settled... Try to not worry 24/7 - throw your feet up when you can and get lots of sleep... If you worry yourself sick you are at risk for upsetting your babes and you dont want to do that... PMA PMA PMA... Try to enjoy what you can, you are getting there girly just take one day at a time and 12 weeks will be here before you know it... Have you thought about getting a doppler??? I bought an angelsounds one - it was cheap but I found the babes heartbeat twice(babes was still really low below my bikini line) but it really did reassure me that he/she was okay - because my MS and food aversions starting going away and I was worried... They say dopplers can make you even more worried if you dont hear the heartbeat but I had gone into this knowing that and had the attitude as if I didnt hear it the baby was facing the wrong way or flipped around (they say that can effect it) but when you do hear the heartbeat it eases all of the worries... So I feel like for me the risk of worring is worth taking..., I hope this helps,

I finally have reached my 12 week mark going for my scan this afternoon... soooooo excited!!!! Going at 3:30 pm today - - Im dying to see this babe look like an actual human instead of a blob... LOL... Ive been praying everything is okay... I went for my pap smear on Monday and I bleed for 3-4 days which they say is normal but I am just a little nervous.. Keeping my fx'd!!!!

I hope everyone is doing okay today!!!!!

 

[dmn1156]

welcome lil and congratulations

melsue good luck at your scan all will be fine be sure to post as soon as you can

 

[cbmommy]

Thanks to you all for all the positive attitudes. I just get a little silly and crazy every few days. Some days I think everything will be great and fine. And other days I don't. But I'm sure that's all normal.

 

[dmn1156]

it is hard to stay positive sometimes but your going to be just fine

asf im getting really fed up of being ill now my throat is now killing i assume from all the coughing some reassurance that it is going to go would be good but i know it will leave when it is good and ready still im so fed up as i dont feel much as im still coughing so much sorry for the moan im just throughly fed up now

Melsue hope your scan is going or gone well no idea what time it is where you are lol

 

[cbmommy]

Feel better dmn. I'd be fed up too!

 

[dmn1156]

Thank you rebecca i think if no improvement by monday im going to have to go back to the doctor as my throat feels like it is closing kind of like tonsillitas is starting on top of the flu

 

[cbmommy]

You should definitely go back if you're not getting better.
