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

[Kelly9]

hey all

I am still getting ms off and on. Today seems to be a bit better. I have 2 more days of class left then I am done. Winding down now is nice, but I think I am soon going to find myself with little to do.

My Mil is coming for a visit jan 18th till 27 that is very nice and exciting! I can't wait and I should have a bit of a belly then to. I might schedule my 11-13 week scan for then so she can be there for it. We'll see if I can wait that long. I have my first GP appointment on monday.

Hey Shawnie. How are ya? So cute abt DP's friend and your belly lol. Your scan is on my DS's birthday. So exciting, will you get to find out the sex?
AFM - I had a wave of nausea last nite but it only lasted for abt 5 mins. It was enough to make me run to the bathroom tho. So far so good tho with the m/s. I don't envy you sick girls at all. Hope everyone feels better soon.

 

[WantaBelly]

Just got back from the Dr. yes it was a UTI and he gave me antibiotics....... It was my first prenatal visit with the Dr. and we didn't do anything?? No bloodwork, nothing! He put the doppler onmy stomach to see if he could hear a heartbeat, even I know its too early for that. He just said everything looks good, handed me a book and told me to come back in 2 weeks. Strange........ Oh yeah he did have me pee in a cup and gave me a pregnancy test.

 

[dmn1156]

wannabeamom im sooo glad your scan went well and no more bleeds hopefully now you can enjoy your pregnancy

well i just noticed that the triplets all turn equal weeks on a saturday how funny is that lol

West i hope the ms misses you or you dont get it too badly

wantabelly glad you got some antibiotics i never got to hear a heartbeat via doppler until 14 weeks but it was worth a listen

kelly glad classes are nearly over for you and your idea for the scan sounds lovely

afm i have replaced the ms with heartburn give me the sickness back please at least then i could eat and not suffer lol now i everything i eat even cereal gives me heartburn lol

 

[Kelly9]

Great news wannabeamom!
DMN have you tried tums they are safe during pregnancy and give you extra calcium also milk works wonders when I Have the worst heartburn need to sip about 2 big glasses but it soothes so well.
I am ok now, today wasn't that bad after all. I kind of want it to come back full force though it's reassuring. I'll be ordering a doppler soon off ebay so I can try and hear the heart beat while I am at home. And that is super funny we all go up to the next weeks on saturdays! We were triplets from the beginning I guess.
Well I should get properly dressed going out to dinner with a friend excited now that I think I'll be able to eat!

 

[dmn1156]

il get some tums while im out tomorrow il make do with the milk tonight and hope it eases up lol hope you have a good time tonight and enjoy the food

 

[westbrja]

Dmn - Hope the heartburn goes away. Def try the milk it should give some relief. This is your 3rd bambino, right? Are you bigger with this one and have you moved to maternity clothes yet?
Wannabeamom - Congrats on the scan!
Kelly - I seen a home doppler at kmart today for $20. I think I'm gonna get it. Anyone know how soon it works if you're kinda "fluffy" in the tummy area lmao?
AFM - It's 1:45am here and I have to be up at 6:45. I can't sleep for some reason. DB is at work and I have the bed to myself but I'm still wide awake. My OH and I have been arguing a bit more lately. I'm trying to chill out but I'm hormonal and he quit smoking cold turkey. We are not a friendly bunch around here. Even the kids are avoiding us lol. I'm sure we'll get thru it but it makes it worse with me being preggo and emotionally needy. He's not used to that. Better try to go to sleep now. Nite! Sorry to ramble.

 

[westbrja]

Oops forgot something, sorry.
Wantabelly - you must be in the US cuz that sounds just like my 1st appts with DD and DS. I call it the "boring appt", lovingly of course lol. My 1st appt is Dec.18 and I'm not expecting much either. However I do get a female exam...oooooh...lmao.

 

[Kelly9]

I have my pelvic exam on monday. I have to stop reading stories from first tri, I am getting freaked out about all the things that can go wrong. Oh dear lord I am never going to make it till dec 16th. I'm gonna loose my mind before then, how do you ladies do it.

 

[meldmac]

Hi ladies hope everyone is doing ok.

Haven't been coming on much just not feeling very great right now. I started spotting brown last night and I'm worried shitless right now. I am so scared something is going to go wrong

 

[dmn1156]

meldmac it is not uncommon to get brown spotting around the time af is due i got it and all was fine if your worried go get checked out dont wait hope your doing ok thinking of you

Kelly do you have to have it done now i know a few ladies that have had it done you may bleed for a little while here in the uk they dont do them when pregnant unless they have to im sure all is going to be fine for you just try not to worry about it too much

 

[SDBL23]

you guys are really busy!!

I cant keep everyone straight, but I'll try....

Kelly: I'm super excited for you!! way to go with the no clomid thing too! It's a good plan to stop reading the stuff in first tri, focus on eating healthy tyring to stay active and busy, not where your exausted, but if you're busy, or distracted the time goes by faster and keeps you from worrying as much....

Mel: I hear alot of ladies talk about spotting. Remember that brown means old, brown is better then red. Maybe when the little bud was implanting you bled some, now your bud is growing, your uterus is cramping and stretching and the bleeding is just started to come out? When in doubt call your dr. They are more then prepared to handle any question or concern, trust me! We get some really crazy calls sometimes, yours is a relevant one.

West: sorry to hear about the arguing. Maybe cold turkey isn't a good plan right now, lol. For the doppler, you may be able to hear babe at around 10-12 weeks, the thing with a doppler is that sometimes babe can be turned around or squashed somewhere secret and you wont hear it, that can lead to panic. It takes us quite a while to pick up heart tones on a mom who's over 20 weeks even cause the little one is so little...

DMN: milk may help, like the ladies said, just a few sips every once in a while, or maybe even a piece of bread.

The UTI, is pretty common in pregnancy, I was treated for one not too long ago. shame shame on me, I really didn't think I had one as there was only trace amounts of bacteria in my urine and I had no real symptoms, the symptoms I was having was coming from a large cyst, so I didn't take my medication... bad bad. Be sure to take your ENTIRE round. Even if you feel better.

Yay for scans!! Whoohoo!!! we go on wednesday to see our little beany! We will be there for about an hour with the nurse going over everything and then the doc will come in and do the transvag scan. I was lucky enough to have had my yearly just a week or so before i found out i was pg, so I do not have to have another pap. I'm hoping to get out of a pelvic exam completely but not so sure.......

four years yesterday ladies, my wonderful hubby and i celbrated with chinese food, cookies and our wedding video!!

 

[SDBL23]

oh, how do I get a bump buddy? what is a bump buddy?

 

[dmn1156]

SDBL wow for a scan mine is on thursday your anniversary sounds like you both had a great time congrats a bump buddy is someone close to in the stages of pregnancy or just someone you would like to be bump buddies with you just write there names in you signiture
i have a question is it possible at 19 weeks for baby to be quite low down as i feel very few movements but a lot of pressure on my bladder

 

[Kelly9]

I won't need a pap I had that done in april. As for the pelvic exam I think she just takes a peak up there hey? I will be sure to ask her what she is doing though incase I feel I want to refuse it. I don't want any spotting. I never have spotted with normal paps or pelvic exams though. I know she will be measuring me and such and other things to.

My lower back has really started to hurt. and I am still cramping. Last night the cramps were moderate and they scared me. I just keep thinking of you DMN. But when do you know they are bad and not just regular?

 

[dmn1156]

when they are bad they can be really excruiatingly painful but normal cramps make you just stop in your tracks they hurt cos it is your uterus stretching to accomodate your new little resident and the placenta is also forming so that causes cramping i still get cramps even now so unless they are really painful then id try not to worry to much hun xx

 

[Kelly9]

Ok thanks DMN, they were a bit worse after sex last night but I put it down to having sex for the first time since. I am going to hold off on climaxing till after my first scan to cause I hear it can cause spotting and cramping and I don't think I can go through that even if I know what causes it. I am to nervous as it is. I find myself constantly saying "if the first scan goes well" then "if the second scan goes well" I just want to be cautious.
