Due June/July/ August 2017

Bre,

That is actually really neat that you're thinking of hiding until you show hahah
I reckon I can last until week 15 (pray I get there, tomorrow is the big day to see if baby has grown more)

With my Mum, there are other things at work.
She is upset that DH and I won't move there, and has refused to visit us for 5 years (we go to them).
I was really short on the phone with her last night, I told her we don't need her negativity and that she is honoured to be only one of 2 people we've told.
She didn't like that :fight:

Mrs Sparkles, I'm sorry you're having a hard time with your parents... I am stopping with mine this week as our house is being knocked apart (!), and I daren't tell them! I know she'll just worry and fret, and ask me how on Earth I will cope with three... (I am an only child). I can't face all that right now and want to have had a scan first.

Bre - I am the same around having things on my tummy. Everything feels right already and I am definitely showing and / or bloated! I feel like I look enormous [emoji33]

Mrs Sparkles, good luck with the scan tomorrow. I hope it's grown and you can feel reassured.

Any other symptoms from anyone? I'm 5+2, feel absolutely shattered, really sore boobs and queasiness which comes and goes but has been worse today and yesterday. I also feel really emotional and worried about everything... oh, and constipated!! [emoji53]

Sparkles, I can't believe your mom said that. I am so sorry. I hope you have other family around that will be supportive. Hope your scan goes great today.

Bre- so happy you rescued a dog. What a great addition to the family. I have cramping still too and sometimes it worries me if it is normal. Doc said it is okay as long as no spotting.

We haven't told anyone yet but that will change soon as I leave today to go see my sister and I am going to tell her Friday. I am so excited to have her to discuss all this with. She was the last one of my siblings to have a baby 5 years ago. I think most of my family is going to be shocked. At 35yr old and DH 38, we have been married 9 years and have said so much in the past that we didn't know if or when we would have kids that I think they all counted us out. We are waiting on early gender blood work till we tell the bulk of the family and friends.

I am 6w1d and nausea is coming daily now but manageable so far. Cramping on and off, sense of smell is super sonic and often leads to the nausea, crazy dreams, some bloating but I think that comes with the constipation. I was so "regular" before but now I am all messed up. I had no idea these things would happen so quick. I need to drink more water, I am really failing in that area which probably isn't helping.

I have the worrying too. I am so scared to lose the pregnancy. Does that ever go away? I personally know a few ladies who lost babies late second trimester and two who lost babies at 39 or 40 weeks and I don't know how anyone feels secure till baby is in your arms. I can't wait to see baby at my 8 week ultrasound.

Thanks Ladies! The kids voted on Ace (the batdog) for a name... my husband had nothing to do with that, haha.

Sparkles, I am praying I can get to 15wks, too!! Haha! I am excited for your scan and to see bean grow!

Honeybee- it's so uncomfortable and annoying! I guess, for me, my belly is just automatically pregnant at 6wks after 4 kiddos! I am no bigger anywhere else other than my belly poking out! haha.

GirlieCat- That's so great you'll have your sister to talk to!! I hope my girls grow up like this, as I am not that close with my sisters. I think it's awesome you guys can surprise your family and shock them, too! & Good to know about the cramps... naught little kiddos already making us worry!

I am not sure if the delicacy and worry of pregnancy ever really goes away. I lost a pregnancy at 15 almost 16 weeks, but I was under excruciating amounts of stress and moved in between there. However, I think you learn to cope because as moms, we always worry!

Symptoms... I haven't been constipated thankfully, yet! I am still taking acidophilus, which has helped! I am always starving!!!! I am seriously trying to control my calorie intake but I am always starving!! I ate a whole bag of popcorn by myself last night... I always want meat or some kind. I have been a bit nauseous in the morning as soon as I wake up because I am staving and at night I get it in waves. My nipples hurt when Emmie nurses! Ugh and they've gotten smaller and they're a bit sore even when she doesn't nurse, last time my breast were tender in pregnancy was when I was pregnant with DS!

I also find myself worrying about if my sway worked or failed... as it's already been said, blue sways numbers aren't the best recently... so I am nervous!

Oh and another symptom, my facial hair is out of control! Thank goodness I am blonde! Just in the last few days, it looks like blonde caterpillars took over my eyebrows and gave me a mustache! I usually can go months without waxing or plucking. Has this been a symptom of anyone else?

Do u have 4 girls??

Sent from mTalk

I have 1 boy and 3 girls. DS was conceived with an ex, who is non-existent, and DH has been there since I was 3 months pregnant. & The girls were made with DH :happy:. DH never cared boy or girl... so, it's all me who would like another DS.

Hmm... not getting my hopes up, lol!:wink:

Honeybee - I definitely am having more symptoms today. Anything savoury make me gag (and I am a salty addict usually)
All I want is fruit, ice cream, and sweet stuff, other stuff makes me feel sick

GirlieCat - I reckon your symptoms are all super positive signs of a healthy pregnancy :D

Bre - Such a cute name for you new addition :D
