Re: ****Tiny Turkey Tuesday****
QOTD: I have purchased the Be BellaBand at Target and also have purchased a pair of jean capri pants.
Update: Today during our u/s we saw our baby move-talk about a wiggle worm! We are scheduled to return in 2 weeks (4/21) for another u/s and to hear the hb for the first time. Also, during the next visit he will start to wean me off of my progesterone.
I had a good appointment yesterday. No u/s but I got to hear the heartbeat on the doppler - 170 bpm! I'm happy that this pregnancy is too uncomplicated for more u/s but I want to see my baby. My next appointment is 5/4
QOTW: I got some maternity clothes with MIL this summer that I'm starting to get out of storage and Kohl's had a sale that I got some stuff during now that I've bloated out of most of my pants. It's too fun shopping for maternity clothes and they are SO comfortable to sit in
My EDD was changed to 11/22.
Our first u/s was great... measured ahead of what I thought and had a hb of 130 at 6 w 3 d. Thursday is a milestone- the most pregnant I have ever been. Also, switched P4 supplements since I had hives.
I had some terrible bloating and did order a pair of "normal" looking maternity jeans. I only wore them once and the bloat has sort of gone down since then. Now I am just rubber banding my normal stuff. As for maternity clothes, I have been buying stuff on sale for over a year. I wear talls, so I grab stuff when it is cheap.
I had my 10 week appt today and I got to hear the heartbeat. It did take him some time b/c of the position of my uterus.
As far as maternity clothes, I have a fair amount already from my last pregnancy with my daughter and I've borrowed some more clothes. I haven't tried anything on just yet, although I think I may next week. I'm so uncomfortable these days and I only have a few things that still fit.
Hi Kathy, Can you add me to this list? ?My name is Emily. ?I'm due 11/26.
I had my first u/s yesterday and saw a heartbeat! ?I'm very nervous today because of brownish spotting that's been going on over a week. ?
I have my first midwife appt tomorrow. ?I'm hoping they'll have some info re: spotting.
I have no maternity clothes. ?I'm too nervous to put up a ticker, let alone buy maternity clothes!?
We ended up having an U/S last Wednesday and saw the heart beat! It was amazing. We were measuring exactly 6 weeks last Wednesday.
I have an appt with the nurse on Monday and then an appt with the doctor on Tuesday of next week.
I have two pairs of maternity jeans but I have been wearing my normal jeans because I have them stretched out to the point where they are comfy.
My first u/s is tommorrow morning at 8:10am! I am so scared. My first u/s with my last pregnancy didn't turn out too well and I'm starting to get really nervous. If you think of me, please say a pray for me and my lo that everything goes ok.
QOTW: Have you bought any maternity clothes yet to battle the bloat (or just because it's fun)? No not yet. My bloat isn't too bad yet, but it's getting there. All my pants are getting tight. I was thinking aout getting a Bella band.
I had an appointment today. It was a regular appointment, but he did a vaginal check, becuase I've been bleeding for the last week (not just spotting, but almost as heavy as a regular period). I had two u/s last week (Monday & Wednesday), both days, saw hb and baby grew and looked healthy. I go back for hcg checks tonight and Thursday (just to see what they are doing - they haven't checked them in quite some time). So, hopefully everything is okay, and I'm just going to be one of those girls who has a "period" during pregnancy. I had my first 7 days of bleeding right after bfp at 4w and then this bout of 8 days that started at 8w. So, almost 28 days apart (like my body wants to have a period). But during today's check, he did say my cervix is closed, so I suppose that's a good thing. I never had any issues with my pg with dd (very easy, uneventful pregnancy - except horrible m/s - which I don't have ANY this time).
Anyway...every pregnancy is different....yadda yadda yadda....
Yes, I've broken out my work maternity pants (I suppose I could get a bella band, but I have a number of the "barely pregnant" maternity pants that are made for transition time (from when I was pg with dd). And I am so much more comfortable in them. I had to break them out last week (after I came home with a HUGE red line across my tummy from my pants). No need for tops yet, but I'm MUCH more bloated than I ever was with dd, or with my last pg (my m/c). By evening, I look (to me and dh) like I'm 5 months along.
Hope everyone else is doing good!
After a spotting freakout Friday, I had a great appointment yesterday. We saw the heartbeat and measured slightly ahead. I have a new due date (11/20).
I can still fit fine in all of my pants (though they're a little snug), and I have been buying maternity clothes here and there so I have them down the road. I've mostly scoured clearance racks for great bargains.
I have my first u/s friday! I am so anxious! But also scared to death!!!! I am praying so hard that God is taking care of this little one. Once we hear that amazing sound of the hb then we will be telling the family .... I can't wait!!!
I have not bought any maternity clothes .... yet. I have been battling the bloat, but I am not too sure how much longer I can go. Today it was really bad.
Better late than never!
QOTW: Have you bought any maternity clothes yet to battle the bloat (or just because it's fun)? I have! Mostly because it's fun. I also bought some more "gap" clothes, for those weeks when I'm not ready for maternity yet but am too bloated for my regular clothes.
My updates: First u/s on 4/3. h/b seen and heard at 126 bpm. Another u/s today 4/7. h/b seen and heard at 146 bpm! Next u/s scheduled for 4/17. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Can you please add me? My due date is 11/24, and I'm going for my 1st appointment on Monday (4/13).
QOTD: I have a bunch of maternity clothes from when I was PG with my daughter, but I haven't needed any yet. I do find that some of my pants are already snug, but I have enough stuff that fits me for the time being!
My u/s was canceled for today and rescheduled for Thursday at 4pm. Ill be 10w2d.
QOTD: I had to buy new work clothes so I got pants a size up and a ton of shirts with room to grow. No actual maternity wear yet but I think that will come in a week or so.
Please update my EDD to Nov 1st
Thanks
