Summer Sugar Babies! - Early July Due Dates

thanks for asking kim

her appointment was great, she feels very positive. She is forsure going to have a mastectomy, but only on one breast as the risk of the cancer spreading to the other one is fairly low. She has elected for recontructive surgery to be done immediately following the mastectomy (the cells from her back) used to recreate a natural breast. She doesn't want any implants of any sort obviously. She had her appendix burst right after her last surgery, so they aren't sure how successful this surgery will be given the placement of the cuts from the appendectomy, but the doctor said that we have a bit of time to figure things out and that the hospital will set her up with a consult with a plastic surgeon to determine if she is a suitable candidate for the recontruction.

Overall i feel great that she is settled in her decision, as it took her a long time to come to it, and that she will only need to be in the hospital for 1 night if all goes as planned. I am praying for her daily and appreciate that she was in your thoughts.

Kate

Good news with your mom. My mom had a single masectomy too, she didn't have reconstruction and so it was day surgery!!! crazy!! i would think if nothing but for the emotional side that they would keep her at least 1 night... My mom has the implant that she wears in her bra and it's worked really well for her.

Does she have a surgery date yet?
 
hey kim, no date yet, the hospital should call her anyday with a date, she was interested in the implant bra thing too, thats what she will do if she is not a candidate for the recontructive surgery. im jusst thrilled that she is being so positive, such a good role model
 
is anyone else craving hot, spicy, and sweet foods can't stand the thought of salty or sour foods.
 
Kate, so pleased to hear how positive your mum is being, it really does make so much difference. When my mum went in to see the pre op nurse, she commented on how positive she was and how it can really help at such times.

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers - hope all goes well xo.
 
Kate, that is good news. FX'd everything goes ok.

As for food cravings I am all for the savory salty things at the moment. And after reading this thread yesterday I had to go and purchase a packet of salt and vinegar crisps (or chips as you call them in the USA :winkwink:)

So today I am going out to a french restaurant for lunch with my colleagues at work. This is going to be tricky....pate....soft cheeses.....undercooked meats!!

Really looking forward to it, lets hope I can understand the menu enough to choose something I will be able to eat!!

And, the MS has definitly kicked in now. I feel perfectly fine in the afternoons. Mid morning is my worst time. I find eating something every hour is the best thing to do, stop myself getting hungry!

you ladies are so great :)

i have no aversions to food, or any real cravings that i didnt have pre pergnancy, still no ms, trying to stay positive!
 
Thanks for all the hugs the other day!! So appreciate your lovely support. Feeling much more positive now! Phew!!

My best friend IS pregnant so I told her about me too and it's already easier having someone to confide in and compare notes with!!

I've been feeling sick too in the last couple of days. They say to have Ginger which is annoying as one of the few things I HATE is Ginger, cannot bear it. Anyway decided to try it incase it stopped me feeling sick. Oh my god, I suddenly love it!! I can't get enough!! As far as I'm concerned, Ginger ale is the new wine and Ginger tea is the new coffee!!

Finally I've decided to just come on this thread on bnb for a while. The 1st tri forum was a little stressful for me just now as I kept reading any sad posts etc and I must try to be positive for me and pea now.

Hope you are all well ladies & thanks so much again x x

glad we could be here for you! I hope to see you more in 2nd tri then. You can also get some fresh ginger root from any fruit market, and add some shavings into hot water to make your own tea with fresh ginger.
 
i tried some of the first tri threads, but there are so many of us in here, i think we are enough of a base to get the answers we need and of course the supper :)

haha i meant support. lol, im always thinking about food
 
Hello ladies and good afternoon....

Lol, you went and purchased some salt and vinegar chips...I did the same thing that day hahahaa.
I am craving sour and salty foods...yummy. I don't have any morning sickness either, but then again I didn't have it with any of my previous pregnancies either. =)
I go for an u/s in the morning..praying everything looks good!!!
 
Hello ladies. My MS has kept me from eating anything,unless I crave it. If Im craving it,strangely I will be able to tolerate it. I had my OH get me some Sea Bands for motion sickness to see if they would work,so far I have had em on for 2 day and I havent gotten any sicker. At this point Im desperate for relief. I am loving goldfish crackers right now.Cant be around anything with spices or garlic,meat,and even dairy is making me ill. Cream of potato soup makes my tummy happy,but my guts angry. I went and got my Ginger root today and will be trying it tomorrow. Coconut MnM's make me happy.Applesauce is a friend of mine too.No more beloved spaghetti,just plain noodles with butter. I have my appt in two days! Im so anxious. Wish me luck,and good luck to everyone else with appointments tomorrow and friday.

Becky, have you considered just going to the ER? Here in the states if you start spotting when your pregnant they will take you in right away for an ultra sound to make sure all is good.
 
I have a question... has anyone ever had a filling done in the first trimester? I'm sort of scared because part of my fricken metal filling has fallen off (not sure if I swallowed any of it, darn mercury). And now have a dentist appt tomorrow to get it fixed. My dentist now doesn't use the metal fillings, only the white stuff, and I did tell them I am early in my pregnancy. But I don't know if I should be getting any dental work done in first tri. Thankfully my first OB nurse appointment is tomorrow before my dentist appt, so I can ask them. But I was just wondering if anyone else has had the problem of needing to get a filling?
 
I am not too sure, but as of right now I too have part of a filling that fell out right before pregnancy and I plan on leaving it that way until after the pregnancy....Geesh babies sure take a toll on our teeth ha?? GL...and lemme know what they say...I also need the advice!
 
I recently found out that I have 2 cavities and need them filled. I asked my friend(last night actually)about having work done while Im pregnant. She is a dental assistant and said her Dentist works on women past 12 weeks and uses a different anesthetic for pregnant women. Hope that helps.
 
sometimes when I come on here and comment I will log out and log back in later my user CP doesn't have this thread on it...whats up with that?? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks
 
Have you subscribed to the thread? Sometimes I need to refresh the page (go to user CP and on the mouse click the right button and choose refresh) to get the most recent page.
 
Ahhh Biliboi a sweet pea :) yipee

Joy good luck at your ultrasound today!! I'm soo excited for mine tomorrow!!

Cecilia good luck with the MS... mine's not doing too bad, just nauseous most of the day unless I am full, but the problem is that I don't really feel like eating anything.. and really I am forcing food in. I'm going to have to go get this ginger root you guys are talking about, where would I find that? just at the regular grocery store?

Hope that everyone is doing well!! We have a long weekend here starting tomorrow, we get Remembrance Day off work!!

Speaking of work, thought I'd give you a quick update on my sexual harassment problem at work, I met with my bosses boss and he told me to "get over it" or I'd be moved... he's military so I'm not overly surprised, but he should know that you can't speak to civilians that way... oh well!!! off to HR this am!!

later.

Kim
