we should change the name of this thread XD XD like come join and you will get pregnant XD

It's crazy how we all got our bfp's Just came back from the doc to get blood taken and the urine test.

Will know how my lvls are on friday she also put me down as possibly having twins as me and DH have twins on both sides and i was pregnant with twins the first time around.. sadly lost one.

It was amazing!! She was like "looks like we don't need that Fertility Specialist appt anymore"

maybe my body needed stress and pressure like yours shaele i was worried i might have to get my tubes cleared up or something else checked. I just can't believe it finally happened i knew it thought.

Have any of you had any funny meltdowns? I did the other day when i was cleaning dishes XD i was cleaning a spoon with noodles on it and they didn't want to come off so i just started crying It was the funniest thing to my dh. Oh and how awesome is it to have your MIL come over and cry with you because its positive

I am not sure about weight gain - I don't like to weigh myself my clothes fit though except for being uncomfortable around the tummy. so I think I have probably only put on a little bit for now. I lost all my baby weight within a few months with DS due to breastfeeding I'm hoping I'm so lucky again this time!!

Velathria my emotions have been haywire since I got pregnant. One minute I'm excited the next emotional and exhausted - the little things get to me.

 

[slammerkin]

Shaele, I hate the pressure put on women about how much/little they gain. I really don't think there's much we can do to influence how much we gain. I feel like your body is just going to do what it needs to. I mean, obviously eating a load of sugary junk is bad, but if you're eating reasonably, then it just is what it is. Like I can't imagine not eating during the nausea stage. My body insists I eat CONSTANTLY to keep the nausea under control. I think since I'm thin to start with my body's like "hey girl, pack on some pounds so baby can get some nourishment!" But if your body is keeping you away from food, then that's how your body wants to do it.

Rose, that's crazy that you can still fit your clothes at 15 weeks! I can't button anything. Using those stretchy belly band things to hold my pre-preg pants up all the time now.

Velathria, we should charge admission to this thread, lol! $10 and you can avoid seeing a specialist doctor! I haven't really had any of the overly-emotional symptoms a lot of women seem to have. I don't think I had them with DD either. But it's totally understandable!

 

[Velathria]

My emotions weren't like this with DS. I was normal just nauseous all the time but this time no nausea but very dizzy and emotional. And i hope it goes like last time. I lost like 17 pounds at the beginning last time. And all together i only gained 26 pounds.. so not too bad, and most of it i lost pretty fast due to breastfeeding and walking alot.

I am so so tired today... and have any of you had like stretching pains down there so early... Like i can't lay on my side or walk for long, its so painful and uncomfortable. I don't remember having it so early. This is so fun though.. i don't care. i am embracing all these symptoms because it means i'm pregnant

 

[rose.]

I haven't been wearing my jeans - just stretchy leggings. I do have a couple of pairs of maternity shorts that I've been wearing too.

Yes Velathria I had a lot of stretchy pains at the beginning. sometimes they come and go now. I guess it's common to have them earlier in your second pregnancy as everything is a little bit stretched already so your muscles know what they've got to do.

It's so nice that we are all pregnant

 

[Velathria]

ok maybe it was because we were walking alot today. XD I know right?? I can't believe that everyone on this thread finally got it :yippee:

I am wearing stretchy leggings too XD they are just so comfortable.. i'm super bloated so normal jeans not fitting much. And its not helping that my MIL is bringing food over like crazy XD she is in the middle of baking me apple pie. she is wonderful though.

Have any of you told your parents yet? I have this great idea. Because it's fathers day here and i told my dad i already bought him something, so we are going to go and get something related to them being grandparents and then put it in the box and let them know that his present is coming i think that's a cool idea. They will not be expecting that present

 

[slammerkin]

I has stretchy feelings early on too, but they eased off for a few weeks after that. Random pains now.

 

[Shaele]

haha velathria and slammerkin yes a charge to join this group! we have baby dust powers. i just remembered though what about mod19? i haven't seen her on here in a while. and yes vel! maybe your body needed to be threatened like mine did lol! funny how that happens...whatever works though.
i also think that is a wonderful way to announce your pregnancy. fathers day was a few weeks ago here but i think i told mine on mothers day which is basically same thing but for moms...so i get it. it's a really nice day to do it. what do you think you'll get him?
anyway i am an emotional wreck so im right there with you. course i am usually an emotional person anyway but being pregnant intensifies it all. dh doesn't help either. he's kind of one of those oblivious men who "don't think" to clean up their mess when they are done...i feel like i've complained about this before lol...and so that just leaves me with extra work to do and i have enough with dd. and it's all just little things that add up...like he leaves his soda can in the living room. doesn't throw away trash after he opens something up. when i put something that needs to go upstairs on the stairs he just steps over it instead of bringing it up for me...crap like that and every now and then i just break down over it. because i tell him time and time again and he still doesn't do anything! UGH. and im already frustrated enough with having to be with dd all day which don't get me wrong i love doing but im sure im not that only one who gets overwhelmed by their child. so mostly i get frustrated easier and then i cry because im so frustrated but still annoying. i hope the emotions ease up for you soon! I'm still waiting for my energy to come back...14 weeks now it's time...at least nausea has eased up.

rose you are very lucky you still are able to fit in your clothes. I've had to already retire my normal stuff and im in some maternity tops. I wear stretchy bottoms so thats all good...when pregnant with dd i actually didn't need to even get maternity bottoms...the stretchy pants worked great. just needed tops. saved me some money. hoping it works that way again this time. Although I do have a wedding to go to in November...I'm like great...gonna have to find a dress when i'm 8 months pregnant that should be a blast...

slammerkin i like the way you think on the weight issue. i totally agree it's mostly out of your hands and like me it stresses women out way too much when things start going against what they are told by their doctor. i also want to try breastfeeding this time around and i heard that helps with weight loss after birth too right? i recently had to find a new obstetrician because mine is retiring and he never mentioned once about how much i weigh vs how much i should gain and that really really really made me happy. he said i was doing a beautiful job esp since i had everything scheduled and all tests done up to date by the time i had met with him. he was very impressed with how i was taking care of things so i think i did a good job in finding a new doctor. i was a bit nervous about going to a male doctor but after having dd and everyone see me at my most vulnerable i kind of let my morals slide. i mean im sure i don't have anything he hasn't seen before.

 

[rose.]

It's funny as they don't really do much with weight here. When I had my scan I had to be weighed and my height taken to calculate BMI but nobody told me off for being a bit overweight or told me I needed to try not to gain too much. I don't even remember them weighing me after that when I was pregnant with DS.
I found that breastfeeding was a wonder for losing the pregnancy weight. It uses so many calories!

Mm apple pie. I love apple pie, at the moment I'm really struggling with acidic fruit though - yesterday I ate an orange and an hour later I was sick, it was awful so bitter and disgusting when it came back up :ew: so I'm trying to stick to more neutral fruits.

 

[Velathria]

I had that with DS. I used to crave orange juice but I'd get such bad acid reflux. I hated it.
And breast feeding Def helps with it. I think it's generally amazing. I might get a pump though too because dh really wants to feed at night too and wants to have that connection and I want to breastfeed so I think that's a good compromise.

Shaele I have no idea. But yesterday I thought we'd get a picture frame and put something in it. I am gonna go check this gift store out we have in town. They have stuff like that.

And I feel like I need maternity clothes right now already xD I am so bloated down there. Were any of you so big at the beginning. Maybe it'll die down a bit after a while.

Any of you already have names?

 

[rose.]

Yes I was super bloated at the beginning, from about 4 weeks I was probably as big as I am now!! But now it's more of a bump and not just bloat.

We have a girls name but no boys names. Hopefully we will know which we are having next month so we can really start to discuss names after that.

 

[hunni12]

So who is next to find out gender?

 

[Velathria]

I'd say rose right? Can't wait to know what we have but first the 12 week scan. Which is still so long away...

 

[rose.]

Mine is 2nd Aug

 

[Shaele]

August 15 for me! darn you harmony test for failing lol.

 

[hunni12]

Ahhh I can't wait for Aug!! I'll be in the 3rd tri

 

[BSelck24]

Had my first scan guys!! Everything went well! We saw a heartbeat of 168bpm and the baby was measuring exactly to my dates EDD February 7th, 2017!!

 

[rose.]

Congrats BSelck that's great

 

[slammerkin]

Yay, congrats bselck! I feel like your pregnancy is going faster than mine, lol. I keep thinking you're like 5 weeks still!

 

[BabyDoll007]

Yay!! BSelk! Such great news! I hope my wait goes as fast as yours seemed to
