TTC and Beyond!

[goldstns]

looks very think... so i am thinking cord... but i dont know

 

[TTCaWee1]

I can't tell. I thought the "parts" looked a little puffy on the 3d scan but I don't know for sure.

 

[asmcsm]

At that stage genetalia are still pretty swollen so I'm still saying girl.

Ugh feel like complete crap :/ just want to fast forward a few weeks. Really don't want to puke every morning

 

[morganwhite7]

Thanks girls! I was just so excited after I saw, thought- how can that NOT be a little wee!? Just getting ahead of myself as always.. 9 days.. Lol.

And sorry Ashlee, I recommend a Zofran script (even though I HATE taking meds too) for your emergency days. I only take maybe one or 2 a week when I reallllly need it. Says you can take up to 3x daily. But it works wonders, and quickly too (30 mins tops!) if you need to be okay for work or whatnot.

Ashlee- i'm in the same boat. I haven't actually thrown up, but I SWORE las tnight was going to be it... nope. I have a very strong stomach and pair that with Iron will, and you've got a girl that won't puke unless it's unstoppable. I hate having a vomit phobia..if I would make me feel better, i'd just rather, but with a phobia, it doesn't work that way. I thought I was going to lose my breakfast at work today, but it's calmed down since I started eating a banana. I'm going to be asking the doc for a prescription for something. Do you think they will give one even if you aren't throwing up?

 

[asmcsm]

Just puked again blech But it's only thing that makes me feel okay enough to get to sleep

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

I'm so sorry Ashlee. I really hope I don't puke.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Ashlee-Feel better soon. But your fb makes me feel like a secret keeper cause I know why you don't feel good.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

LOL Katrina! right!

 

[asmcsm]

Lol sorry! A friend of mine actually posted "must be pregnant?! " I had to delete it and told her I was but we're keeping it hush hush for a while

 

[RobertRedford]

Sorry you're all not feeling well!

Ash, maybe ask for some zofran, if it doesn't get better soon. When is your next appointment?

Julie, the bump is sooo cute!

Morgan, I still think its a girl. No reason in particular, the scans just look "girly"

Katrina, lol, right?

Rachel, how are the cramps? Did they get any better?

 

[TTCaWee1]

Ash and Britt - I'd ask for Zofran. I was only super nauseated and gagging when they wrote mine. Works wonders but makes you constipated. I found that pretzel sticks and oyster crackers helped keep my nausea at bay. And I always ate before bed and kept water on my nightstand bc it would trick my stomach into thinking something was in it.

Amanda - they are a little better, worse with certain positions so I'm almost confident it's just stretching. Also my uterus is now at my belly button and it was 2-3 fingers below on Thursday so I'd say something is growing in there. I'm also super uncomfortable with any pressure on my belly. I did a lot of googling last night and it said these next 3 weeks are a big growth spurt for baby. I held off on calling the dr bc I'm not totally convinced there's something wrong. Plus I have my trusty Doppler...

 

[asmcsm]

Next appointment isn't until November 22nd...by then I probably won't have morning sickness if I'm anything like my mom. I'm trying taking B6 now because they told me to try that and if it gets worse or no better they'll prescribe zofran. I don't want to be any more backed up than I already am though

 

[jury3]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is miserable...In a way it's better bc it's not all the time, but then again it's worse the gag reflex is so strong. I'm skipping work again today bc I woke up feeling so shitty. I'm just so tired of feeling like shit. On top of that, I think I'm depressed. I'm so stressed about work. I hate going and don't go if I feel too bad. Then I feel bad bc I didn't go. I'm behind on paperwork which makes me feel worse. The pressure of my boss. Our house is a mess too bc I can't even think about that with work to do. And I feel like shit all the time. All I want to do is sit at home and think about baby things. I don't know how I'm going to do this for another 5-6 months...
I might call my doc today and ask for the zofran prescription just bc I can't do this anymore. I cried before bed last night and cried again this morning. I seriously don't know what to do. I know I need to suck it up and do my job bc we need money and I need to keep my job, but I don't know how I can keep this up!

Morgan-No idea...I think you'll just have to wait the 9 days

Rachel-I hope it is just stretching. Don't feel bad about calling the doc just to check though. My doc said anything that worried me was a reason to call...a worried, stressed mom isn't good either!

 

[clynn11]

Morgan, can you zoom in on the bottom 3d pic you first posted? I feel like the best potty shot is there but can't see close enough!!!! Lol. I do think that other pic is of the cord though.

And I hope this doesn't upset you, but i'm thinking boy. That literally looks like Jaxon's freaking twin from the pics i've seen on FB. They look sooo much alike

I thought girl initially, but now I feel boy for you lol.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Sorry you all are feeling so bad. Julie I thought you had zofran already. I would definitely call for some if you are missing so much work due to it. Does DW do housework? Mine doesn't lol but that a typical man. Not sure how it works with 2 ladies in the house though....today DH loaded the dishwasher for the first time since we bought this house. Then he cleaned. I almost had a stroke. I'm not expecting much more for awhile lol.

I'm trying to take my mind off these cramps bc I feel like I make it worse by focusing on it. Soooo I am refurbishing a dining room table that has been sitting in our garage. I'm using graphite chalk paint, which is awesome btw. Now I'm having my snack and some grape kool-aid then I gotta go wax it. I wish I had taken a picture of it before I started.

I hope you all feel better soon. I cant imagine still feeling sick...I had some bad nausea yesterday for some weird reason and popped a zofran but that stuff is like magic for me.

Cass- No feeling hurt here, I want a boy so bad. It's the hubs that would take it hard, he said. I just think it's so important to have a boy be the oldest to learn to respect the ladies. My little brother is the youngest and never learned how to really respect girls (granted he is only 14, never had a GF, and skateboards all day- LOL) because my sister and I were always beating up on him lol. And we have a big family of girls.. Aaron's brother has a little girl and everyone tells me- "It would be hard to make a baby cuter than her!" I'm like REALLY?! Did you just say that?! Lol they just don't think. And his dad keeps saying things about how we need a boy to carry on their name. Like I'm freakin Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire who couldn't bear a son for the king!! But yeah.. lol nonsensical rambling about my thinking process. You can see why I stress, people and their selfish comments!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

I have my appointment next week. I'm certainly asking for Zofran. Figure the worse that can happen is they say no. haha.

 

[morganwhite7]

Smart thinking Britt- Even if you don't use it much, it is NEEDED for emergencies. I can't believe how effective it is at curing everything.. instant relief!

And you girls have to check this out- SO cute! I love Etsy. Perfect for New Year's I thought. (I'll finally have a nice sized bump!) And Julie they have twin ones too!

And as much as it sucks ladies.. I read today that MS for some reason does decrease the chance of miscarriage by up to 30% (NYtimes article) ( I know Julie and Morgan are far enough to not worry) but Ashlee - this could be our silver lining. I've been reading about it all day. They aren't sure why, but nausea and vomiting are a good sign. So when I feel like crap, I will try and tell myself this.
