TTC and Beyond!

[jury3]

Julie-Yay!! That is so exciting! Do you want me to wait on your gift until your for sure?

Yes please!

Thanks girls! We are pretty excited since we were hoping for one of each. Really hoping a little penis doesn't pop up on baby a at the next ultrasound lol

Rachel-Can't wait for you to find out! Sorry you're feeling so crappy

Ashlee-lol I feel ya....on both things. I just took my 3rd dulcoease...hope it works soon!

Probably a big contributing factor....I got in at midnight Wednesday night then straight to work for three 12s in a row. I am off tomorrow so I'm going to lay with my feet up all day.

My hip feels so unbelievably painful right now. I have been hobbling along all day because any weight on my right leg is excruciating to my hip DH tried rubbing it for me earlier and I tried a heating pad but still killing me...I'm only almost 11 weeks, I'm gonna be screwed when I get huge!

 

[clynn11]

Sooooo happy for you Julie!!!!

Rachel and Ashlee- sorry you're both feeling like poop

 

[jury3]

I am the same way! I have back pain already and it only keeps getting worse. My uterus is already somewhere between where a 5-6 month pregnant woman would be...I'm going to be so huge and uncomfortable! It's amazing how early it starts. The babies are so little right now, it's amazing how quickly it starts to put pressure on things and cause pain.

 

[clynn11]

I can't believe how far along you all are!!! Time feels like its dragggggging for me!!!!

 

[clynn11]

Julie- came across this and thought you'd love it! Gotta get the book for the babies!!!

Ouch! I just turned over in bed and had this almighty pain. I began to panic because I thought it was around womb/tube area etc but after standing up I think it was in the join of my leg at the top. Does everything start to soften this early on?

 

[frsttimemama]

I'm sorry you ladies are feeling sore, and unfortunately, it doesn't get much better. At least it didn't for me. But the end result is so worth it, and you all worked so hard to get here. I hope you feel better today. Warm showers, warm baths, heating pad, rest, and Tylenol were all helpful for me. It didn't always make it all the way better, but they helped.

BB, I'm not sure, but it's a good possibility. Hormones are raging.. feel better soon!

 

[brunettebimbo]

I'm happy to have any symptoms that are thrown at me. It makes me more positive that everything will be ok.

I can not wait until my 12 week scan, I know I will relax after then!

Hi, I'm Mirolee, and since ive never done this before, I have about three million question, most of them probably obvious and stupid.
My first is: can I use a heating pad for cramps since I can't take ibuprofen?
Not sure if you guys saw on FB, but my test is so mch darker. Please add me to the front page - due August 4. (om-f-ing-god I have a due date).

I keep getting BB & Cass mixed up bc of you girls' profile pics! Think I'll get a haircut today.. Up EARLY again, DH hates it that I can't sleep in on the weekends. I'm noisy and BnBing the moment I get up to pee haha. But as for pains, I'm glad I'm not the only one. And Rach I'm up 7 lbs already too, nooo idea where it went (I only weigh in at appts) but don't you worry, after baby it'll fall right back off if you're active and BF.

But I too am wondering how this tiny baby, not yet a pound, can be causing my back and hips so much agony. Trying to stretch daily to keep flexible and loose, trust me girls you wanna do it now before you're huge and sore and can't move lol.

AFM- oh you know, made 8 cinnamon rolls w/ cream cheese icing and half a lb. of bacon an DH ended up just sitting there watching as I downed it all (minus 2 rolls lol) so maybe mama needs to slow down some. Hahaha I was planning on a bfast for 2 but he wasn't hungry and I couldn't let it all go to waste

 

[morganwhite7]

Yahooooo Mirolee!!! Glad it was darker

I will add your name but will do the fancy colored due date at work tomorrow sine I can't figure it out from mobile. Also I was wondering the same when I was having that awful pain in the beginning and doc said NO. A well as extra hot showers etc. I usually like mine burning hot, but in order for baby to continue to implant well you do NOT want to subject them to extreme heat. Maybe if its just warm, but not too hot. Just like hot tubs etc., heating pads are designed to get extra hot and baby can't regulate it's temp very well. They recommend even going to the hospital if your temp is over 101 bc it is life-threatening to fetuses. Not to scare you at all. But I was having the same prob early on, awful AF cramps that wouldn't go away. I bet a not too hot bath or warm water compress would be fine.

 

[frsttimemama]

Yayyyy Mirolee!! And yes, heating pad is fine on the back, but not on the abdomen.

Morgan, Lol!

 

[asmcsm]

Ugh I know how you feel Morgan! Every day it never fails I wake up at exactly 6:30 to pee. I don't know why I even bother looking that the clock anymore.

Mirolee, I wouldn't put a heating pad on your abdomen, generally I'll just take a warm bath with Epsom salt and it helps a lot and Tylenol instead of ibuprofen. Heating pad should be okay for other aches though like how I used it on my hip last night.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I wake between 4.30 and 5 every morning to wee
I slept really badly last nigh, I woke up every 45 minutes!

Morgan I've changed my avatar. I was getting confused too.

 

[morganwhite7]

Haha thanks BB.. And Mirolee nvm it worked! Just had to type out the code.. Congrats again

 

[frsttimemama]

Mirolee, I'm sure those cramps are scary, but try not to worry. Cramps and back pain is the only reason I tested when I was pregnant. I just did it on a whim because I felt like AF was on her way and my gut told me to. They are totally normal.

 

[HWPG]

it's amazing how i can be going along normal and then suddenly be struck by them! sharp, stabbing pains, oh my. but i will take it!
i woke up this morning early as well, 630am, to POAS. i couldnt help myself.

 

[jury3]

Cassidy-I actually have that book alrwady lol I have several on my amazon wish list to order too...
The weeks drag on pretty much until you get to 2nd tri...then I think it speeds up a bit.

BB-I was have pain and pulling muscles at 5 weeks, totally normal.

Mirolee-Yay!!! Not stupid questions, we've all asked or googled at some point lol I agree with the other girls about heating pads. My doc said it's ok on lower back. So excited you have a due date!!!!!!
