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

[Kelly9]

Poor dmn! I hope your mw can help you. I have been super lucky so far so I guess I don't realize as much how much others can suffer. Get well soon!

I haven't been up to much was suppose to clean today cause mil is coming tomorrow night but we're putting if off till tomorrow before and after scan.

As for the scan, do you guys know if we have to drink water or can we drink powerade instead? As long as it's fluids it shouldn't matter right? I hope so cause I'll need to drink in the car since its a bit of a drive for us.

Hi, can I join you ladies on here? I remember most of you from other threads...like the
"2ww" and "older girls be my friends" -
Me, I finally did it! A year after my lap to clear the tubes am pregnant. Have been hoarding the secret till now, am finding myself a little superstitious! But wanted to talk with other pg ladies so here I am. I've had a scan at 6+3 just to check placement and all looked good, next is Feb. 8. We have already scheduled amnio as I'm 42, so that date is looming out there...not my favorite thought but do want to know all is well.

So, quick question for you all, I've had pretty minor symptoms so far, sore breasts, bloating, gas, with occasional queasiness, but on Saturday was so sick all day, major nausea then vomited a few times in the eve, since then am back to normal with just normal nausea?? Happen to anyone else? I thought maybe I just had a stomach bug or something, or can it come and go like that with no warning?! I hope it doesn't do it much as would be sooo difficult to work like that!
Anyway congrats and hugs to all!

[Jen1802]

[Kelly9]

Mrs N you are not trespassing you belong here.

Welcome bella and jen. As for the nausea mine came and went in strength but was there from week 4 till week 8 when it started to lessen now I barely have it at all.

Ask pharmacist dmn, I know acetaminophen (tylenol) is ok in small amounts throughout the day but thats it. Sorry. I am just taking my drug class now!

 

[dmn1156]

welcome jen1802 and congratulations

Mrs N kelly is right your not trespassing you belong here you have had a long journey to get here

kelly thank you im making do with paracetemol i took some earlier and il take a couple before bed just to try and reduce my temp a bit and keep up with the vitamin c boost im trying to give myself and il speak to the midwife in the morning cos i just cant keep being ill it is really draining me how you doing today

 

[Melsue129]

Mrs. N... OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.... OMG OMG OMG - Oh you belong here my dear after the journey you have had... I am soooooo happy for you... How wonderful is a + HPT... (now picture me jumping up and down- LOL)

Welcome - Bella and Jen!!!
Bella - right around 6 weeks nausea came on out of no where... I was okay in the mornings but once afternoon would come around and night time I would be nauseous... I had to keep eatting, little bits of food, every hour or so... Its better if you have something in your belly at all times... Then my nausea lessened around week 10 and 11, then it was gone by week 12...
DMN sooo bummed you cant get rid of these colds.. they need to do something for you... a doctor or midewife, Needs to prescribe you something because if you have a fever, that is not good at all for the baby... Make sure use the tylenol to bring that fever down...uuugh, feel soo bad for you...
Wannabe - Im at that point to where I just look chunky too.. Dont worry people wont say anything and before you know it everyone will know you are pregnant so they will "get it" ya know... Dont worry... Im sure you are glowing right now, sometimes they say that women look their beautifulist when they are pregnant...

Eeekkk, I dont know who I forgot but I hope eveyones doing okay....

Yes, its a girl - thanks to all for the congratulations.... now we are searching for the chasity belt and shot gun... DH is already thinking about all of those penises out there in the world.. LOL... We have two girl friends that have two lil boys and they are all going to grow up together, we visited one friend who's baby was born in Nov and we "had the talk with him" You know how he and our lil girl were never going to be able to hang out behind closed doors together, we are going to watch them like a hawk... LOL... We had a bunch of laughs and of course this lil 2 month old boy just looked at me, like okay I hear ya talking but I dont know what you are saying.... LOL... So funny...

So we were on the search for the best priced crib and we found one we liked at Babies R Us and its one of the pricer ones and I went to two other stores that carried it and they are both above Babies R us prices, so looks like we are going there... We are going with the Natural looking wood.. Soo pretty...

Melsue do you have a pic? I have a couple chosen at babier r us as well! The pinehurst and the michelle.

I got my car seat today... totally was not planning to but went in to get stroller and they didn't have it so we're picking that up in the city after scan later today, so well the ladies there were helpful, a lot of the time you have to special order this stuff and once the sell out of the brand we wanted it will all be special order and wouldn't be able to garuntee when it would be shipped etc so I picked up one of their last matching car seats for our stroller. Also cause I spend over 75$ I got a baby tub which is quite nice for 10 bucks. All there baby tubs are like 35 buck and more so I saved 25 dollars on this particular one but ended up with 2 things we weren't going to buy right away. I am still excited to get the stroller later today though! Also toysrus doesn't do layaway out here either not that it's a big deal but it would have bee nice.

I don't really have a bump at all it popped a week ago but went away. Some mornings it;s like I was before I was preggo! I weighed myself and I am back down to what I was when I found out. I WANT A BUMP ALREADY!

 

[dmn1156]

kelly what time is your scan good luck with that

 

[westbrja]

Where's Csunshine, Kelly, and Gumb? I'm anxious for their scan updates.
How's everyone? I'm getting excited for our appt on Wed. We'll hear the heartbeat for the 1st time. When I was scanned it could only be seen. Dmn - Feeling better?
Mrs N - I posted in the 2ww, but its so nice to have you join us here. You're so deserving.
Kelly - Check over in 2ww. I answered you about my classes this quarter.
Melsue - How are you?
Hope I didn't miss anyone.
OH's mom and dad want to buy our crib. I have one picked our from Babies R Us. I went with a lower priced one since 1) They are buying it and 2) I had one that cost about the same and it lasted through 2 babies into toddlers and would have made it through 3 kids if OH and DS didn't decide to jump on it from across the room UGH!!! Its the Graco Lauren style in Espresso. I absolutely love it! Haven't found a travel system yet.

 

[Kelly9]

Hey everyone if you want the update it's in my journal!

 

[shawnie]

How exciting Jen and Mrs N!!!! Congrats!!! YAY!!!!

 

[Mrs_N]

thank you, it's feeling more real today!
melsue I love your reaction, that totally made me grin!
todays test is darker got to resist testing for a couple of days now!

need a bit of advice - we are going away on friday for a little family weekend away, just us, my mum & dad and my sister & her partner. We are so not ready to tell anyone yet, we want to wait until probably 6-8 weeks before telling very close family. It's going to look totally suspicious me not drinking anything the whole weekend - if it was just one night or maybe 2 I could get away with it no problem because I'm not a big drinker, but 3 nights? I knnow they'll think somethings up! Any suggestions on good 'fibs' to tell?! Oh and I'm totally rubbish at lying, my face always gives me away!

I've been going with the "I'm on antibiotics" route, or "I have a sinus headache and wine makes it worse!" Has worked so far...
Congrats and welcome to the group!

 

[dmn1156]

Mrs N posted in your journal too soo happy for you welcome and enjoy first trimester I have used the antibiotics fib and another one i have used lol is on painkillers for a shoulder injury and they say not to drink alcohol also used got an upset stomach and dont want to make it worse by drinking as i needed an excuse for keep going to the bathroom every 5 mins too lol Thanks for the help yesterday Mrs N midwife pretty much said the same as you some of the ingredients are risky and paracetemol and a simple honey and lemon cough linctus
