I had told my family but hadn't told all my work mates. Just a few. I was past 20 weeks by the time they knew. Lol. But it saved all the questions and the " should u be lifting that" type comments.

I had told my family but hadn't told all my work mates. Just a few. I was past 20 weeks by the time they knew. Lol. But it saved all the questions and the " should u be lifting that" type comments.
I ended up telling everyone lol I found out I was pregnant the morning of my brother's wake. I tested just to be sure I could drink. I knew if I tried to just say I didn't want to drink I'd be pestered endlessly all weekend (it was a camp out) so I just spilled the beans to about 80 friends and family...word got out fast from there. I was like 3w5d.
A few of our friends and close family know. As I see friends I will tell them if it crops up in conversation but otherwise no announcements until after the 12 week scan.
I have put on 2kg now and 1.5 inches round my waist, plus my boobs have gone porno!!!
Hi ladies, lyngostar congrats on a healthy heartbeat, I have told close friends and family , mainly as I am on a girls trip to Sydney no drinking!! Everyone has been really happy for me which is lovely!
Still no MS but not even 5weeks...just really tired, gassy, crampy, Oh the joys ....
Stephk I think I will be the same with the rate I am eating!!! Porno boobs cracked me up.... I WISH me had some big boobs!! Xx

Normally I'm a 32c so not big at all!! Last pregnancy I went from 36b to 36d around now lol. Then when DS was born I was 36e!! Shame we can't keep these bigger boobs hey :)
Enjoy the girls trip to Sydney - we are on our way to Warminster for our wedding anniversary. Stopping off at stone hens very soon for a picnic :)

I'm 36dd normally and it's quite embarrassing how ginormous these babies look right now. I'm still trying to squeeze into my regular sports bras but will have to give in and buy some that fit...ugh
How awesome that yoi guys get to vacation so frequently. Its been good few months since we took even a mini trip and hubby won't even bother with another one
I've told quite a few people. Only if I see them though. I haven't really called people up or announced it on Facebook or anything yet. I'll wait until I'm 12 weeks for that. I'm at 10 weeks now and today I actually feel a little better. But the minute I say I'm feeling ok is when it hits me and I'm back to the nauseous feeling. I have my nt scan in about 4 weeks and my gender scan in 6!! I can't wait!
I am praying for a girl.. My 3 year old son the past few days keeps talking to the baby girl in my belly and I keep telling him that it could be a baby boy and he will not acknowledge that at all and insists it is a baby girl. Every time I ask him what if it's a boy he just says no mom it's a girl. 😁 last night he even prayed and told God that he wants a baby girl in my belly! I'm hoping he is right!

Awww..that's sweet aoii. My son is sort of the same way - he insists its a girl because he wants an sister not a brother.
I am so sick of feeling nauseous. .ugh..have a major food aversion but starving at the same time. I xan only digest watermelon and peaches as of now.
Have only puked maybe 3 times but this constant nausea is just exhausting.
Odd that's the same with me I'm not throwing up but just nauseous. I sometimes wish I could throw up so I would feel better. I try to eat to make myself feel better but then I'm gaining weight fast. I'm hoping after this first trimester I can get on a better eating habit and back into the gym. I had lost about 20 lbs right before I got pg and was actually feeling great about myself so it's kind of hard to start gaining it back so quickly. Although I'm 10 weeks and have gained 5lbs so far. I'm hoping to only gain around 25 lbs this pregnancy. With my first I gained 40, my second around 30 lbs so hopefully with this one I can keep it under control! My coworkers who don't know I'm pg probably think I'm crazy cause I'm eating so much compared to a couple months ago when I was on a great diet!

You and I are exactly alike lol...I also lost 20+ pounds and out on 5 back real quick. I'm also 10 weeks along lol..I'm really hoping that I can get gack to eating healthy as well.
Here's hoping to healthy and happy pregnancy once this trimester is over.
I'm miserable. Most days I feel nauseous all day but the afternoon and evening are worse. I dint know why. I'm in bed no later than 8 pm too. So awful. I try to wag to feel better and sometimes it makes me feel worse but if I don't eat I'm nauseous and hungry. I'm 9 weeks tomorrow. After my losses I'm telling NO ONE. Only DH and you ladies know.
It just so happens that we have this year. We have another holiday coming up in September to Greece for 10 days (escaping my birthday) and then DS turns 2 so it will become way more expensive. Probably won't be a real holiday until I'm well into maternity leave, apart from visiting family. I am very good at doing all the research to find good deals :)
Aw sunflower hope you feel better soon hon, hopefully it's all a good sign. I am feeling worse this time than I did last time for sure!
Hi ladies! Excited to join this thread - due March 10 and swayed pink. I'm almost 10 weeks. Have had a strong feeling the past couple days that this one will be a boy too.. waiting for a call from my doctor to schedule the 12-14 week ultrasound. Hoping to be able to tell more from that one! Here's a pic from the 7 week ultrasound - any thoughts? Hope everyone is feeling ok - this pregnancy is definitely more difficult than with my son. Night nausea is the worst!

Eeee... I'm fairly sure I finally found a heartbeat, not for very long, but it was 156-158 for about a minute, which is definitely not my heart or an artery. My heart is usually 80-90, artery 120-130, but it didn't sound like the youtube videos, actually it sounded more like the twin videos where it's almost like a squeaky horse. Wish I'd had my camera on hand to get a video, I'm not sure if it was it or not, but I've never gotten a sustained reading of above 150 before, this pregnancy or with my losses trying, so I dunno what else it could be.
Team green is going to make me crazy so I've been looking at the ramzi method and comparing my ultrasounds...I know that there is a decent chance my first two ultrasounds were flipped (I didn't know to ask with the boys) BUT if they happen to NOT be flipped then this may be my lucky baby... ???
Top left is ds1, top right is ds2, bottom left is this baby, bottom right shows examples of gender using ramzis. All are vaginal us at 6-7wks.
I go for another ultrasound on Monday and am going to see if they will tell me what side the placenta is attached this pregnancy...

Cute babies bethwade. No idea what I'm looking at though:-)
Hope all u ladies had a great weekend. Mine was super!! We had a housewarming party at a friend's where I saw all my girlfriends and was soo tempted to share my pregnancy news but I was real good about being tightlipped. Determined to wait til 2nd trimester.
And this fine sunday evening, my hubby decided to give me a break by taking kiddo away so u can enjoy a couple hours to myself. I spent it watching reality crap and crying for no reason. .ugh
Went today and baby is attached to the FRONT. So yeah, I'm feeling like we have ds3 on the way now. 😳 his profile/scull looks very similar to both boys so I'm feeling pretty deflated today :(Quote:

Hey all
Its so quiet here!! Beth congrats on your scan, really try not to get down ( like I can talk) I too have been obsessing over every little symptom and so sure its another boy just a way to protect ourselves I guess!!
Odd glad you had some r and r !!
Just got back from a girls trip to Sydney so much fun.
Only 5 weeks and just started getting mild nausea and a sour taste in my month, REALLY sore boobs and tired. When did morning sickness hit for you all?
Hope everyone is okay xxxx

Beth I really don't think gender and location of implantation are linked. It just doesn't make sense. Not to me anyway. As Kitkat says we are likely protecting ourselves subconsciously. I feel like I'm having a boy but it's probably just a subconscious protection thing. I even have a couple of names for him.
Odd and Kitkat glad you enjoyed some time out!
I started feeling rough in week 5 but then week 6 was the worst. Since then I have felt sick and dizzy lots but maybe I'm more used to it. It's slightly different to last time.
On my way to my scan now yippee!!
It's great to see so many ladies in here. Congratulations again to those I have already congratulated and congratulations to those who I haven't. I hope pregnancy is treating you all well. I know it's easy for me to say since I'm not in your position but, be kind to yourselves when it comes to gender. Just remember what it took to get you here. Wishing you all the very best for fantastic outcomes :D
Had the scan and all is well - heart beating 154bpm, measuring at 8w2 to 8w3 which is consistent with ovulation date :)
Thanks boysway !! How are you doing? Stephk yah!! For happy and healthy heartbeat ....
Sorry you are so dizzy and nauseous this time round my second pregnancy was soooo different to my first I was really dizzy and all day sickness from week 4 so far this is more like my first but waiting to see if that changes at six weeks!!
How are you coping with work?
Silly question but is dating scan based on day you DTD or ovulation? Xxx
Sent from my Windows Phone 8S by HTC using Tapatalk
I think its based on ovulation, the measurement is consistent with when I believe I ovulated.
Sometimes at work I am finding it very difficult to function!! Thank goodness I have to leave at 5pm every day to pick up DS from nursery!! Not feeling too bad at this moment though to be fair. There is a latent sick feeling but the room isnt moving which is a bonus lol.
Cant say I am particularly motivated to be doing any work......
kitkat I am sure the symptoms will kick you up the ar5e very soon!!
boysway - thank you for visiting us and your wise words, please keep in touch, how are you and your DH?
I am almost 11 weeks and as soon as I think I'm feeling better it hits me again. Lately it is just that I am soooo tired and can not function at work. I hope it's almost over.
Kitkat, I was feeling great up until the day I was 6 weeks! Then it hit me hard!
I am counting down the days until my nt scan on Sept 4th. I will be almost 14 weeks and I hope there will be gender clues but who knows. If not my gender scan is on September 19th!!! Can't wait!

Kitkat and steph, things aren't any different unfortunately. I'm just feeling very much over everything right now. It doesn't feel like there is a 'light at the end of the tunnel' at the moment, I'll get over it. Thanks for asking :)
Aoii, sounds like we are in the same boat! I am just now 11 weeks and keep thinking I've made it out of the worst - and then I'll have a really awful evening and be reminded I'm not out of the woods yet! I also felt great up until the day I was 6 weeks :-) Our NT scan is a week from today, but we'll only be 12 weeks. The gender scan will be Sept 16th, I think :-)
Boysway, I'm so sorry to hear that you're still having difficulties! I hope you can stay positive, but I know it's tough :-(
The past few days have been horrid for me. Sunday, I came down with a mild fever. I thought it was mild at least, until I googled it and it says that your should go to the ER for a fever over 100.4 when pregnant as an elevated temp over that for a period of time can cause miscarriage or increased risk for birth defects such as cleft palate, heart defects, and neural tube defects, such as spina bifida. Great. I called the OB after hours line and she said to treat with Tylenol every 6 hours to keep it down, but that if I couldn't to go into the ER. Ugh... Tylenol seemed to do absolutely nothing for me. At about midnight, my fever hit 101.7, the chills started, and I felt like I had been hit by a bus. I got in a luke warm tub to try and get it lower. I sat there for almost 3 hours as it slowly lowered. I was pretty much freaking out because it wasn't lowering very quickly, yet DH didn't seem worried at all and was more perturbed that I had woken him and asked him to run a bath for me. Nice, right? Then when I mentioned to him while I was sitting in the tub that we might need to go into the ER and that we'd have to call and wake up his parents to get one of them to come over here so we didn't have to wake up our daughter, he said that I should just go by myself. Seriously? Here I was pregnant, shaking with chills from this fever, feeling like absolute garbage, scared we were killing or harming our child, and yet he would rather me drive myself to the damn hospital in the middle of the night rather than wake up his parents, who I know would have come over in an instant! I love my hubby of course, and for the past day while I was sick, he had done everything I asked of him, from making me soup, to taking care of Lyra, to running me the bath, but he's not very compassionate and never once sat down on the bed with me and gave me a hug or comforted me. He's very squeamish and hates germs, so he pretty much just stays away when I'm sick. I found that all I wanted was my mother, lol. Anyway, after almost 3 hours in the tub, my fever finally broke. I ended up dry heaving a ton on the way back to bed, putting me in tears, but after that I was finally able to sleep a few hours, but very restlessly and then went into my regular doctor first thing in the morning. They of course couldn't really pinpoint what it was, but put me on amoxicillin just in case. So far, the fever has not come back and after an entire day in bed yesterday, today, I am finally back to feeling more decently like myself. I have of course checked for the baby's heartbeat frequently since then and have been somewhat reassured that I've been able to find it, although that doesn't mean that it didn't cause some sort of defect, which is so incredibly scary to me. But of course, there's nothing I can do about it now. I just hope that those 2 or 3 hours with the elevated temp didn't do any permanent damage! At the time though, I just didn't know that driving and waiting in the hospital waiting room for almost as long was a better route than the cool bath, and I'm crossing my fingers we made the right decision. Oh, and although the OB nurse said not to use ibprofin, my regular doctor said that you can in the first and second trimester if the tylenol doesn't work to lower a fever. Luckily the fever did not come back so I didn't have to go that route, but still, it was interesting to hear. I just get so frustrated sometimes with night nurses. We took our daughter the ER one night on a night nurse's recommendation because we couldn't get her fever down with alternating advil and tylenol, and all the hospital did was give them both to her at the same time, which did the trick. Of course we ended up paying over $1200 for those bills, when I could have done the exact same thing myself for her at home! I just wish they would tell you that stuff rather than making you go through the ordeal of the ER and all those damn bills! Of course, at the same time, when a nurse tells you to go to the ER, generally speaking, you listen. And my OB nurse pretty much didn't give me any other things to try other than going to the ER if Tylenol every 6 hours didn't do the trick. Really? She didn't even mention the bath, but my mom did when I called her. And the fact that advil could be used if needed would have been nice to know too. I just kept thinking, what is the hospital going to be able to do that I can't? They might put cool compresses on me, but a cool bath at home is essentially the same. They might give me advil in a worst case scenario, but I had that at home as well. Ugh, sorry for the rant, but it just frustrate me that they are so quick to shuffle people off to the ER. The ER is scary and expensive, not to mention full of germs and disease! Oh well, it is what it is now. I do think we made the right choice in that I don't think they could have lowered it any faster than I had, given that I would have had to drive there, wait around to get checked in, etc. From experience, I know it's not as quick as you might think :-( Again, sorry for my rant!! I guess I'm just looking for some compassion and sympathy since I don't get any from DH :-( Thanks for listening ladies!
Boysway I am so sorry to hear, I really hope things improve for you guys soon.
Crazycat - wow what an ordeal I do hope all is now well? Your DH sounds a lot like mine. Sorry you went through all that hon and had to pay all that!
Boysway im so sorry honey!! Please come and chat with us if you need too about anything , its been such a long journey for you hoping you get your wee boy sometime in the future xxx
Crazy cat OMG you poor thing!!! Glad it all worked out okay but what an ordeal
Steph and aida thanks guys im sure I will start feeling awful soon dreading it but reassuring at the same time!!

Crazycat- I think everything with baby will be just fine. But man what a scare that must have been! Sometimes i complain about how slow our wait times are here with health care.. but at least we don't have to pay! My god 1200 for advil... crazy!! I hope you are feeling better soon though. The bath thing sounds like a great idea to lower fever for sure. I prob would have done same thing.
As for me. I announced the pregnancy via social media and got the reaction i pretty much expected. People are happy but almost everyone made a "are you hoping for a girl!?" Comment. Kinda irritating. I recently saw a t-shirt that says :"we're hoping its a dinosaur". Lol im thinking of getting it to get people to back off. Lol
Crazycat - that's one big scare. I hope you feel 100% better soon!
Robin I like the idea of hoping for a dinosaur. I'm sure it will shut people shut quickly!!
I had a scan today. Baby is doing great. Heart rate 171 and measuring 2 days ahead. I was so nervous after my losses my heart was pounding practically out of my chest.
Baby is sooo adorable. I'm in love!!!http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/13/3u7age4u.jpg
Crazycat...hope you r feeling better. Am sure baby's perfect
Sunflower. .awww what a cutie. How far along are u?

sunflower - SO CUTE congrats!!!
robin - a lot of people who know are asking if I hope its a girl and it doest help that my DH keeps saying I want a girl. I have asked him not to because if its a boy I really dont want people feeling sorry or negative or anything. I love this baby regardless. Love the t shirt idea :)
Baby measured 9w5d and I'm 9w3d. So pleased all looks good!Quote:

Sunflower, congrats on such a cute baby :-)
Robin, I love the dinosaur t-shirt idea! I love wearing clothes that tell people I'm pregnant because I feel like people are so much nicer to pregnant women, lol. Getting excited for our first scan less than a week away! I think we'll likely announce publicly at that time since we'll have a pic to share. We'll just just over 12 weeks, so I think that should be okay. I might possibly wait another week just to be sure, but I have a feeling once I have a pic, I'll want to share with the world! Everyone I have told so far asks if we're hoping for a boy. I always reply with "sure, in a perfect world, a little bot would be nice, but we'll be happy with whatever we get, as a little girl would be a blessing as well!"
How is everyone feeling? Anyone feel like they're past the first trimester yuckies or are we all still trudging through? I'm really hoping there's not too much left of it!
I thought i was over it and then on Monday i got sick again. Arghh. Ill be 12 weeks sat.. and have another ultrasound next Monday. Im hoping to get nub shots.. but have no idea What to ask the technician to take a pic of?!
Im just hoping that the second trimester brings no more nausea and throwing up!
