So cute Molly!!!!

Amelia, I can only understand how stressed you must be. But try to take a deep breath. Remember, doctors are not always right. Your number is very close to doubling, and Morgan's numbers weren't doubling and she was told 'imminent miscarriage' and they were WRONG! I still have faith this is a sticky bean

 

[VivianJean]

I'm seeing the doc at noon tomorrow - they may not let me fly home this weekend.

Nikki- totally understandable of you to say something. I woul be really hurt too. I'm sorry Hun.

Morgan- so happy you're really feeling her today! I'm sure there's a lot of this pregnancy that's bittersweet for you, I can't even imagine. Just do happy you've got a happy healty little baby in there, dancin for her momma!

Amelia- try not to worry love. I'm sure they'll hurt again, soon, worse than before.

Ash- Ex's blah!!! Do you even write back? I only talk to one of mine, and that's bc he truly was a good friend before and after we "dated" for a short time.

Hiiiii Sonia- always happy to see you!! I'm guessing girly in there for you too!

I did reply so that I could say how wonderful my life is and that I'm very happy and expecting a baby in June lol. Just had to rub it in that my life's better without him in it lol. But then he responded telling me how he's been and asking if I'd like to talk with him on chat sometime but that it would probably be best while he's at work...hmm okay you live in the UK so you want me to stay up late to chat with you while you're at work to "catch up" because you live with your girl friend...really? Yea, don't think so buddy. Doesn't look like much has changed there...

Don't worry too much hun. Very close to doubling and also, the higher your numbers get, the slower they double.

 

[morganwhite7]

Amelia- seriously not trying to push my story on you guys over and over but these girls can tell you my numbers took 96 hours to double (so you're doing better than I was!) and I was flipping out lol.. the doc said this and that about it being worrisome but I learned everyone is different, just like with everything else in pregnancy, our bodies don't go by the textbooks. My doc was worried but the nice nurses said otherwise, that he was just going by what he had been taught was "average".

They're rising well love.. Will they do another follow up Monday or so? It's always fun to see em reach the thousands.. Then you can rest easy. Might as well rest easy now actually.. Nothing better for that lil beanie than snuggle time in bed and some gooooood fooood

Molly- Soooooo cute, esp the socks!!! We have similar bumps I think!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Molly Cute!!

A, why would the dr say you cannot fly? i am flying to NYC at 7+5 (in 2 weeks).

 

[VivianJean]

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

While there are very few studies on the effect of flying on pregnancy in the first trimester, they don't advocate it because of MC risks... that being said, that seems to be for "at risk" pregnancies,... so whether she thinks mine is a little shaky or what, I have no idea.

Generally 2nd Tri is the safest. Lowest risk of MC or early labor.

Ashlee-We were planning to get our placentas encapsulated too. I'm not sure how that will work out now, it will depend on our doctor letting us I think. I have heard that some people think it's bad bc the placenta filters toxins during pregnancy, so it could actually be bad. I'm going to do more research and see what I can find though.
Cassidy-I think price depends on area and on whose doing it. I've heard that some people charge a flat fee and some charge by weight...

Ashlee-Super annoying about your ex...My ex and I are still somewhat friends (we chit chat when we see each other) and I haven't heard from him at all. I'm sure he knows by now. Funny how your ex only wants to chat while he's not around gf...wow, what a winner lol

Morgan-Cute bump! Stubborn babies! I hope she stays a girl lol I'm really hoping our's cooperates and is really a girl...

Rachel-I bought a pregnancy journal and I suck at keeping up with it lol It asks specific questions, but I really just want to document symptoms and feelings each week.

Kara-That's so awesome DH got to feel a kick! DW felt a tiny movement a few days ago, but they still happen so rarely...I can't wait until we can feel them all the time!

Waves-You are definitely bigger this time lol I'm still having a really hard time wrapping my head around the idea that we will have not one, but two babies in this house in a few months! I still don't think I've really realized I have two people inside my belly...lol

Nikki-I'm sorry about your brother, that really sucks. I'm more like Morgan though, I can't spend my time and energy worrying about people who don't put forth equal time for me. I don't have much problem dropping contact and letting them contact me when they are done being idiots. It worked with my dad. He finally realized what a douche he was and what he was missing out on. Now we actually have a little more of a relationship (it also helped that he got off the drugs...lol).

Amelia-Please try not to worry! My bbs weren't very sore after AF time passed. They still come and go...just like my ms did once it kicked in. It's very common to fluctuate.

Sonia-You haven't posted any bump pics....
DW and I had not had sex since before ovulation time (since we don't have to BD to make a baby lol)...the first time was about a week ago. First I was way too nauseous and exhausted. I have had ZERO desire. This time we actually tried on me and it did not work out. I couldn't stand to have any pressure on my belly which made it difficult and my vag is super sensitive and it was just too much. So annoying lol

Molly-Cute little bump!

I think I officially started feeling braxton hicks contractions today. After the kids left I was straightening up the classroom. I felt like my stomach was really tight so I started feeling around. It was like a basketball in my belly, it was so hard. It happened at least one more time after that. No pain, just tightness. I emptied my bladder (apparently that can cause contractions), made sure to keep drinking water and rested once I was home. I haven't had anymore thank goodness.

Thanks lol. Yeah it's so weird to imagine. Having kids, I know what it's like to have them around on a constant basis but it's so weird to think about having a toddler AND a newborn at the same time. Wondering how Hannah will react and interact with Leah.

I get BH whenever I have to pee and don't go immediately. I never felt them in my first pregnancy, did a little in my second but this time? I get them all the freaking time. Every day for sure, several times a day. Sometimes a few times in an hour. They're so uncomfortable, bordering on painful at times. I hate the pressure feeling they cause lol. So you're not alone there.

 

[SmallTownGal]

Sorry you are having trouble with your bro, Nikki.

Morgan, so glad for you!

Sorry you are having worries, Amelia I'm sure the gals here are right and it's best not to worry.

Sorry you've been having bad morning sickness, Sonia. I'm glad the zofran is working for you!

Cute, Molly! And love the socks.

Wow, Ashlee, your ex sounds like a piece of work! :/

Glad you haven't had any more braxton hicks since coming home, Julie.

 

[asmcsm]

The ex is a piece of work...I was a month away from re-locating to the UK to be with him and found out he was seeing some girl from his office! I've gotten past the cheating though, and I have had some civil conversations with him. He isn't a bad guy, just a lousy partner. And I still am in contact with his sisters, they are very sweet.

I don't know if it's just my pregnancy hormones that are triggering me, but my uncle made a comment on my facebook saying good luck on giving birth drug free and it really pissed me off. Just because both the mothers of his children couldn't do it doesn't mean that I can't

 

[clynn11]

My mom told me today she didn't have MS at all with 3 out of 4 of her pregnancies. So FX I just take after her!

 

[asmcsm]

Lucky her! My mom had it with all 3 All 3 were girls too, but she had it worse with me and Brittany, to the point that she needed IVs, but Emma wasn't so bad. Maybe as she got older it got better? My gma said she had it with all 5 but not as bad with the boys and hers lasted from beginning until about 5-6 months ugh

 

[clynn11]

My mom said she didn't have any with me, my older brother, or my younger sister. She said she had it a little with my baby sister (she's 6.. not so much a baby anymore but still 'the baby' of the family ) but not very bad at all. So that puts my mind at ease a bit.

Even your family history is leaning towards girl!! FX!

 

[asmcsm]

Lol yea, My grandma had 3/5 girls, mom was 3 girls , aunt 3 girls other aunt 2 boys. One uncle had a boy, but we're pretty sure he's not actually his though the family doesn't say anything about it...other uncle has a girl with his ex, a boy and a girl on the way with his wife. Cousin just had a boy. We will see...I swear nub looked like a girl on the US but I'm still pissed the lady didn't take a friggin picture of it!!

Oh and Chad's already a got a girl too, so there's that...

 

[clynn11]

Ya i'm 50/50 as far as that goes.

Mom had 3 girls and a boy

Dad had 2 boys, 2 girls

Grandma on mom's side had 1 boy, 2 girls

Grandma on dad's side had 1 boy, 1 girl

My only Aunt with kids had 3 boys though! Lol

 

[asmcsm]

I am having the worst mid/upper back pain and a headache and I don't know why or how to make it go away. Completely miserable and I'm gonna have to work an extra hour today because we're doing Santa pictures at the studio There's no way I can call in.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Awe Ash, that stinks. Maybe try two Tylenol and a half decaf coffee? That always helped me, especially with the headaches. Through stinky heat wrap things are great for work too!
