TTC and Beyond!

[asmcsm]

Morgan I'm DEF saying girl. Based on skull theory it definitely looks like a little lady in there. Plus 160 HB just pushes me more in that direction

morgan- im bad at this game, but I say girl

 

[TTCaWee1]

Sandy - strong bfp at 10 dpo, midday urine...

Morgan - I am jealous of your ultrasounds!!!! I want one! What did they say about the bleeding?

Hope everyone is doing well! I had a massage earlier...oh how my hips love massages. It's getting kind of uncomfortable to lay on my belly though.

Any updates on Emily on FB?

 

[TTCaWee1]

Oh yeah and I vote girl for Morgan too! I think that was my original vote too...

Anyone have cramping at 16 weeks or later? I've been crampy since last night. Maybe it's stretching...it's more of a dull ache in my lower abdomen close to my pubic bone. Starting to worry me but trying to not let it.

Rachel-You don't have any bleeding, right? I'm guessing it's probably stretching. I would call your doc if you keep having it and are worried.

I've had some pains on my right side here and there the last day or so. Not cramping, maybe sharp pains. Not sure.

Anyway, I am attempting to post my bump pics. Here is the one comparing last week to this week. Rounding out a bit.

This one is comparing 8 weeks to now.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Thanks no I'm not having any bleeding. I'm sure it's stretching I just haven't had any cramping in awhile so it's freaking me out. I was quite nauseated a bit ago so I took a zofran and put on some really loose pants and I feel a bit better. I read that these next few weeks there is a lot of growing and that's what was going on last time I had this.

Your belly is looking like its rising! Rounding out too! So exciting. Also your hair looks like its 5 inches longer...

Anyone know if it is normal for baby to be much lower? Last week punkin was halfway between my belly button and pubic bone....today it is all the way at my pubic bone! I mean, like you find it at 8 weeks. Any cause for concern ya think? All I can think in my head is miscarriage=moving down. =(

 

[jury3]

Let's hope it's just some stretching then! I go through major spurts where I pull my stomach muscles a lot. Yesterday was one of those days and that's when I had the pains, so I'm guessing that's what mine was too. I was definitely worried about it yesterday, so I totally get it!

Yeah, my bump is definitely moving up and rounding out my belly. Seriously, I'm going to be so huge! lol My hair might be longer lol It might be bc it dried naturally today so it was pouffier!

 

[jury3]

Molly! Don't think like that! My first thought was twins! lol Remember the sac is a lot bigger than the baby right now, so they have room to move around. The baby easily could have floated down lower.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Molly is it possible you were feeling it before when your bladder was full? I know when I wake up mine is just past my belly button and when my bladder is empty it's about 2-3 finger breadths below it. I think at 10 weeks it's still supposed to be quite low

I am so tired of being sick...I was so nauseous this evening I had to stop talking several times bc I thought I was going to puke. I skipped work today bc I was so tired and woke up with a headache. I just want to feel decent again! I wish there was a way I could take off work now and just focus on resting and planning for the babies. I'm tired of being sick and tired of working. I wish we could do without the money for a while...I'm so overwhelmed with everything I have to do for work and for babies. On top of that, I hate my boss and she causes me major stress and anxiety on top of everything else. I hate it. I feel like I have no options right now...Ok, I'm done whining for now...Thanks for listening lol

How are you figuring out where the baby is? Personally I can't feel my uterus unless it's hard from a Braxton-Hick contraction. All I know is that I carried my second (and now this baby as well) baby very, very low. Like it felt like she was going to fall out. She was never in my ribs at all and this one's going much the same way.

Julie we had a car seat that clipped to our pram. Was an absolute godsend! Was so much easier than having to wake him every time we got him out of the car

 

[TTCaWee1]

Ugh. I'm still in bed and these cramps are horrible. It's not sharp but just a dull constant ache. I guess I should call the dr? I dunno. I don't want to be needy so early on but I also don't want to ignore it if something is wrong

I can feel my uterus easily. I have a home doppler so I can see where the baby's heart is....and I always use an empty bladder b/c for me a full one makes it harder to find baby.

Please dont worry about being needy...as an OB it is their job to listen to the concerns of their patients! As for the cramps, do they feel like AF cramps? I know my digestive cramps feel a lot like AF ones...and they soon pass. But, I would call the doctor just for peace of mind!

Was thinking of you all this morning.. I am definitely SICKKKKKKK of being sick! And I have not, literally girls, not had ONE MORNING puke-free since the morning of 6 weeks on the dot! 6 to almost 15 weeks, throwing up every single morning! I still feel pretty crappy afterwards, but once I force feed myself fruit/icepops/bagels/string cheese (some of my vital morning foods lol) then I feel much better and am good to go all day. It's just the bile and heartburn type of stuff from indigestion I guess.. It's like I can't eat anyyything without my throat being on fire, could be intensifying the nausea idk. But other than that, just pretty freakinggg tired every day. After work and dinner I am just pooped and end up konking out since I have to be up by 5:30 for work. So just hoping my body can make it through this winter, I have a feeling I am going to be one exhausted mama!!

And GIRLS! I HAVE A QUESTION! Okay so after going over the other 10 ultrasound pictures I got from yesterday, I found a better potty shot! Do you girls see what I see or am I crazy? This is from the pic of the little feet/toes. Could it be the cord? Cords are in the middle of the belly right?! (Ha I will prob Google this one all day!) & I can't tell if a girl part would be that swollen.. Sure looks like a little wee to me! It's kind of hard to see on the computer- What do you all think?!!
