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

[Kelly9]

I almost retched at the smell of the uncooked roast but was ok. DH's breath bother me when he first wakes up poor guy is probably sick of hearing that he needs to brush his teeth!

This morning I was admiring my breasts in my purple sweater, I have to say they look quite lovely! Ooo I also am getting some of those belly bands, I hear they are pretty good.

My mil offered to pick me up some second hand maternity clothes at a store back in halifax before she come to visit me but I was like thanks anyway but I am super picky about what I wear! I felt bad but I am picky. Besides I want to shop for that stuff it will be the first stuff I get to buy!

When did you guys start using cream on your belly's to prevent stretchmarks? Or did you?

 

[Csunshine013]

Thanks for the reassurance ladies it was much needed sometimes I'm silly

Mel I was going to wait but he was there when I took the test so I just walked out and handed it to him, he said what am I supposed to do with this. I said look at it, He said what do two lines mean, and why is that one darker than the other. Silly boy.

So he asked my why I'm buying new clothes if I'm just going to get more preggo and and I said cause I don't have any dress pants and it's my turn for new clothes!

LOL

Hope your all doing well today! I'm feeling better now.

Hi ladies sorry i have not been in much today we woke today to a lot of snow and had to dig my car out lol then only to find they had closed the school anyway so ended up with Ds's home for the day but i was not to bothered as it was there last day anyway lol

Kelly i think altho it was a nice offer from your mil i think it is nice to go buy your own pregnancy wear. Oh and as for creams for stretch marks i used a few but none of them worked for me i still got a fair few lol

Melsue glad your doing ok

west hope you get the clothes you need and hope your doing ok

Csunshine im glad you feeling better have to say my b@@b's never hurt in the morning always at night when i wanted to sleep and it was extra uncomfortable im really keeping everything crossed you get a really really sticky bean this time

sorry if i missed anyone got a complete brain fog today

I have a craving for satsuma oranges not sure i should eat too many tho how many do you think i can get away with eating in one day lol

 

[westbrja]

Hellooooooo ladies!

I don't know why I'm in such a goofy mood, but I'm not complaining and neither is DB .
Kelly - I heard the best way to prevent stretch marks is to stay well hydrated by drinking tons of water. Hope that helps
Dmn - Yes I got some new clothes. I bought a pair of jeans and 3 shirts
How's everyone?

 

[westbrja]

So I was able to run to the ultrasound dept at work today and have my friend scan me. We could see a yolk sac and the heartbeat was 128bpm. She measured me at about 6+5 and I'm 7+1 so looks like we are on track. It was hard to see since I had just peed before going down but still reassuring to see our bambino's heart beating
So what's the verdict boy or girl based on the old heartrate wivestale? Lol

 

[Kelly9]

I was told higher heartbeat = girl but the heartbeat goes up till a certain point, not sure when though.

I adjusted my ticker to west, went by my ov date, it was weird having a range of 4 days to go by cause at this point in development it can be a big difference so I chose the later date. I will know for sure jan 18th at my next scan though.

Hiya EVERYONE......can i join???

Hi Im in London, uk Im hoping to get my BFP soooon... my periods like 9 weeks late and i still havent got my BFP!!! SO ANNOYING!!! been to the gp and hospital had various tests a few weeks ago, i have no problems with my ovaries or tubes i dont have irregular AF and havent been on BC for a gd while, so they said it was likely i was pregnant but my hormone wasnt enough yet....my mum had the same problem. Maybe its an hereditary thing!lol!
Ive been having loads of pregnancy symtoms except sickness just a lil bit quesy when i dont eat. Also my stomach just in this last week is bloated and has a sticky-out roundness i have never seen before!!
Im quite relaxed about it all... just waiting now. Going to the doctors on Mon to demand a ultrasound....as i heard that even blood tests can be unreliable...
Was wondering if any of you ladies went through a similar experience and could relate to me???waiting....waiting....waiting for your BFP!

TA LADIES .......BABYDUST TO YOU ALL!!! XXXXXXXXXXmwah

 

[dmn1156]

welcome EZbabydust

west it does seem to be true about the heart rate so far for at my 8 wk scan heart rate was 152 at 12 wk scan it was 158 bpm and 20 week scan was still 158bpm
so if heart rate stays below 150 id say boy lol but i could be wrong

Kelly how you doing today

 

[Kelly9]

kelly is doing ok. I had a very upsetting dream last night where DH and I broke up before we got married and I felt that it was my fault although don't know why. In the end got it all fixed but I was bawling in my dream. Not fun at all, sometimes they just feel to real. WOke up with sadness in my heart

Yesterday ms wasn't bad at all today I took my pill first thing so hopefully it will stay at bay. Haven't taken my prenatal vits since thursday cause they I think made me even more nauseous when I did take them. I think as long as I get my folic acid for the first trimester I am ok. Will trying again in another week with the prenat vits. I can tell you I am tired of feeling like pooh! And looking like pooh to!

 

[wannabeamom]

west so reassuring to see that heart beat really pleased for you!!!

[Kelly9]

We have lots of snow for weeks now!! Wanta I wish my ms had stopped! I was good all morning but then got nauseous then ate some alphaghetti cause I was craving it and now I am ill again. I look awful! Like seriously I don't want to show my face anywhere! Big dark circles under my eyes, super pale. I am about 2 lbs lighter now then before but I haven't thrown anything up, just the ms messing with my eating.

 

[dmn1156]

Kelly have you tried eating toast with a light smear of butter that can really help

wannabe glad the ms has eased up we have had snow unfortunately tho some of the footpaths have turned to ice and i nearly went over twice

melsue and west how you both doing


Csunhine how are you doing great i hope

afm im feeling ok had a couple of exhausting days had a friend down for the night and have done a lot of walking today so feel a bit exhausted and when im walking and moving around i dont feel many movements but im sure it will be more than made up for later on tonight

 

[wannabeamom]

its eased up a little so far today only been sick twice and yesterday only 3 times so that is a huge improvement!!

eek dmn be careful on the ice!!! have you felt baby movements yet? i know what you mean though i think i can still do the same amount that i used to but then at the end of it all im just soooo shattered!!

kelly i wish we had snow for as long as you i love it...just wish i could get the skis out!!! dh keeps threatning me not too!!!

5 sleeps to go and so excited cant wait till christmas!!!!

hows everyone else??

xxxx

 

[Kelly9]

I was going to go snowboarding this winter since I live in AB now right close to the rocky mountains but now that I'm knocked up I can't. I have tried toast and crackers and sour things, lots of stuff. Nothing seems to work all the time sometimes I can get relief for an hour or a day but thats it. I just ate now and I can feel it disagreeing with my tummy already. I barely leave the couch or my bed.

I don't know whats going to happen the 23,24 and 25 we've got plans each night! I am going to have to wear a lot of makeup to look good and not so pale and try not to eat anything... I don't know, we don't want to tell people yet and if they see me barfing I know they are going to figure it out.

I have slipped once on my butt and almost did again today. Wannabe I don't hate snow it's just being preganant I am afraid of falling or getting into an accident.

 

[dmn1156]

wannabe yes i have had a few movements tonight i miss a lot of movements due to the fact lo is breech and is kicking into my bladder and rather than feel a kick i get the urge to go to the toilet lol the ice is really bad and slippy now so im in for the night in the warmth glad your starting to feel better i know the 1st tri was a nightmare for you and the worse seems to be nearly over for you thankfully

 

[dmn1156]

Kelly you need spiked shoes just go careful and take care as for looking pale say you have a case of a cold coming and it is making you feel a bit rough or just stand in the cold for a while till you get a nice rosy glow from the cold just try food little and often

 

[westbrja]

Hey Ladies

Had family over all day making Christmas cookies so I haven't been on. It was a long process and I'm beat.
Wannabe - Glad the ms is easing up a lil bit.
Kelly - Be careful! We've had some snow here but during the day its been warming a bit and freezing a nite making for lots of ice. DB has done really well keeping the drive and walks shoveled and salted. I know what you mean abt snowboarding cuz I wanted to take the kids sledding but it aint happening this year lol.
Dmn - How are you? Hope you get to relax.
AFM - I'm soooo ready for bed. We baked from 11am til 5pm and then some family stayed longer. The past couple days I've had some nausea. Nothing severe but enough to notice and make me sit down. It seems to come and go all day. Well ladies I'd better hit the hay but I'll be on tmw sometime. Nite!

 

[Kelly9]

My body just can't make up it's mind! First it's constipated but then I get it going and I have the runs! I'm nauseous then I am fine then I can't tell if its ms or bring hungry so I eat but feel sick during eating but fine after! Bahhhhh the bun is driving me nuts today it seems! Think I might make some chicken and rice soup.

 

[shawnie]

Awww Kelly, hope you feel better soon ... I don't miss MS at all.

AFM Now I'm dealing with not being able to stand and walk for long periods of time without getting tired or light cramps lol. I went food shopping today and came home and crashed for a few hours..

Tomorrow should be fun. I've got both grandmas (my mom and DP's mom) coming with me to my sonogram. My mom started crying on the phone when I called to see if she wanted to go. DP said he might just stay home tomorrow and let the girls have fun LOL I think he just doesn't want to be in the middle of all these crying ladies LMAO hahaha...

Tomorrow night I hope to go make cookies with my sister. Things keep coming up that it gets pushed back and before you know it, christmas will be here and by then it will be too late. So will see how things go.

 

[Kelly9]

Well have fun making cookies and seeing baby again! I can't wait to see baby again, I think I have like 27 more days It's such a long long time away but knowing I will hear the heartbeat before then keeps me going. We're going to try Dec 30th then every week after that till we get it.
