Part 2: Due January, February & March 2019

[hopper]

Hopper I'm sorry you don't think you'll get the reaction that a new baby deserves. I know it's easier said than done to say it doesn't matter what other people think, it's your family and you are excited.
My parents knew I was trying to get pregnant, I think their issue was financial, prices here for everything are huge, and yeah probably will be a stretch to pay for 3 of everything but I'm a believer that things happen as you need them. I'm not worried about that and I always wanted at least 3 so don't think it makes a massive difference if they are born closish together in age or further apart it will cost the same in the end. But I'm also very straight forward with my family. They know better than to throw negative comments my way.
The most I got was- what if it's another boy. My response was usually a sarcastic - well then we will end up with 4 or 5 boys.

I'm actually looking forward to the comments of a third boy when we announce the pregnancy now that I know it's a girl. I'm not going to announce its a girl on social media, but people in our lives that we see often can know.

I think maybe it's easier tell people when you know the gender. We've decided to go team green. My husband's one stipulation to have "one last baby"!! I'm excited by the idea of not knowing. I just need to get over the fact that I get really down by others throwaway comments. It's an issue of my own and no one else's so I know I need to deal with that. Doesn't make it any easier knowing tho lol.
We won't put anything on social media either. I don't do announcements really. We just tell the family and close friends. If I could get away with telling no one I would.

Hi ladies! I’m hoping to join you all on here. I’ve been quietly watching since the group was made. I had a MC at the end of last year and have been very hesitant in telling anyone about this new pregnancy. I’m currently 7wk6d and had my first scan on Monday. So far all is going well, Bub is measuring perfectly. I have a EDD of 8th March 2019. I have 2 beautiful boys at home and am hoping this is my DD. But overall I would just love to have a healthy baby.

Congrats on your pregnancy! FXed It's your girl!
It's definitely harder to open up after a loss. We had an early mc last summer, probably adding my reluctance to tell people our news!

Gafan, mummaofboys: welcome to the group. It is nice to see how much our group has expanded [emoji4]

I have a question. How much vomitting is too much? I am 5w2d but man MS (all day for me so far) has hit me hard. I was wishing for mild symptoms, not full blown like this [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] i cant really keep food down for the past 2 days. It gets much worse today, i threw up maybe 10 times today. Even water made me feel sick. I tried my best to keep the food down as long as possible, but it usually cant last for long. I also tried ginger candies, but doesnt seem to help much. Also, what do you eat or drink to help with ms? I did some research online and some people recommend bland porridge so I will try that tomorrow.

Oh you poor dear! It's a little controversial but I found sipping on ice cold full fat Coca Cola to be the only thing that helped ease my ms - and mine was HG so vomiting 30ish time a day for about 20 weeks. Once I figured that it eased off. I've recommended it to quite a few fellow HG sufferers and it's worked for them too. Obviously caffeine isn't great for baby but in moderation it's fine and once it helps you keep your food down it's a win win!
I hope it eases soon for you xx

I'm feeling a lot more excited today!! I've told my best friend and she's delighted for us.
And, the best news, I've found a local midwife who is going to look into a home birth for me!! Yay!! I have chronic anaemia which can make a HB tricky to organise, also hypothyroidism which is a no no if it's unbalanced at the time of delivery BUT she is going to do her best to make it happen!! Excited doesn't even cover it!!!

Shinay i totally understand u. Try to drink small amount of cold water or they recommend little of coca cola. Now is helping me drinking very cold sparkling water. If it isnt better do as girlsway said. With my first pregnany i felt sick till 12 weeks. I think of u

[Noemi2017]

Oh Hopper that’s so exciting!! I delivered my last 2 boys at home (water births)with the same midwife team, and this will be my 3rd delivery with them! It’s so much more relaxing and calm. being able to have your other kids join you right after and cuddle up in bed with you and the new bub is so wonderful for their bonding ❤️

Any of you ladies have extreme fatigue? I try to get adequate rest, take B6, and keep up in my water intake. I'm literally falling alseep sitting up! I can't seem to keep my eyes open and it's exhausting being this exhausted!

Oh I just love that!!! I'm so optimistic we can pull it off! We've never lived in an area that offered it before so I'm all over it now I could potentially have one!!! I've always felt very anxious during labour when I've had to make the move to hospital. On my last delivery contractions were under 3 mins apart so as my second labour was 40 minutes from start to finish (I was induced) We thought it best I make the move while I still could withstand the car journey. I got to the hospital car park and contractions stopped. My waters went and they never picked back up. It was a mess, just so long and drawn out. I'm still adamant that the move from one environment to another made my body just freeze. I really don't want that again!

I'm slightly concerned that I'm not fatigued yet. It's always been the first indicator of being pregnant for me. On all my others I HAD to nap during the day even before BFP!! Maybe there's just no difference between pregnancy fatigue and having 3 kids ages 6, 4 & 2 lol! I probably can't tell the difference any more!!
