Greenslw I hope the work situation rectifies soon - I'm going to find myself in a similar position, I've recently had to reapply for my role as I was employed temporarily full time for 3mths & now 6mths down the track they have advertised the role. I just hope I get called up for an interview before it gets too hard to hide baby bloat!
Glad you had a nice b'day me4ever :D
My hcg had increased to 2575 in 44hrs so according to a information thingy I'm doubling approx every 70hrs which is still within normal ranges. I know I was meant to relax when I saw the numbers had increased but now I'm worried they're not increasing high enough :wall: why do I do it to myself??
-
Tic toc you should be fine for me it's more that I feel like a big fat pg lier not really honesty and integrity but if it was before 12 weeks I'd say nothing. We all get ott from time to time hope you can relax soon
Duchess there is no when to tell date but it will start to get rude I think as they may need to advertise to fill my role. Hope my bubs isn't bigger than DS
I chickened out busy day busy boss and I said nothing big fat pg lier alert. Wow I need to get some courage.
-
Just schedule a meeting with those who need to know, so it won't matter if its busy its your time. You are right it will be less favourably looked at the longer you leave it... Good luck
I'm starting to find it an amusing novelty to be almost half way with no obvious bump!
So tired and DD2 just woke up coughing up flem (which I caught in my hand) and she hasn't stopped coughing, which will likely affect her eating abc drinking and mood for the day... And hubby working :(
-
Greenslw- It is not until 30weeks that employees must tell their employer about their impending arrival. You have a few more weeks left. Until then, you do not have to feel bad at all. If they hold that against you then that is discrimination as you are following the law still.
Tictoc- It is always hard not to stress. I'm no longer convinced that HcG levels are the way to go if looking for reassurance as it only ever stressed me out (I always have low levels) and has never been able to predict if I'm going to carry to term or miscarry. Next pregnancy I think I will just leave it other than stress further about it.
Dutchess- Oh bugger about DD
Me4- Glad you had a good birthday this year. And just think, next year you get to hold your bub in your arms :D
AFM- I start seeing a dietician on Thursday so I can start losing weight (well continue but by eating the correct calories and nutrients, not by the m/s which is still going strong). I have also gotten together with a few people from my area to go walking each week. They want once a week but even if I have to go it alone, I want to for 4 times a week. Bub is extremely active which is good but still feels very weird and very off putting when DTD lol. I had one of my friends tell me off for calling my bub "foetus" but I like that belly name. I'm generally more of a facts person than an emotional one. I call my other kids "bogger bum" and the such and I love them to bits so how is this any different?
-
I reckon call your bump whatever you please, it's a foetus til its born in scientific terms so what's wrong with that?? My bump is called ikea, my daughter thought excellent boys name so it stuck, i also love it as its a tribute to how hard the baby was to make.
DD2 is not coughing so bad but ended up in our bed last night, after waking herself.
Anyone know the rules about mould in a rental?? The bathroom where we live is constantly mouldy, I'm making hubby mould kill it today and we are going to take progress photos, its a old house with crap ventilation so not a lot of solutions for the owner and we already pay cheap rent.
Still doing the major room swap, huge job and all I want to do is sew which is also not unpacked properly....
Good luck with the diet
-
Duchess I think it depends on your state maybe phone tenancy tribunal in your state and ask them or another agent. And yeah I think meeting it is. Got to be honest and then fight any discrimination if it happens.
Damprye in my field there is no week when you have to but for me it's more about wanting to work happily for 16 more weeks and then when I go back. Good on you for seeing the dietician hard to do pg but seems like you're on a role.
Me had a lovely sleep in thanks to DF and DS. Weekends should last longer.
-
Back off to the GP today - boobs no longer feel fuller, have stopped peeing so much, belly bloat seems to have disappeared and then I did a digital test this morning & it is still showing 2-3 weeks (so 4-5 weeks pregnant) & I'm meant to be 6 wks as of today. Combine all that with the fact my right hip /side has a dull ache & I'm struggling to not cry & my stress levels are going through the roof. I know there's a chance I'm just paranoid but I need to know :(
-
Hey everyone
How you all going ?
Tick tok have you been to ur app yet ?
I have been out since 8am. Went to the counselor, it went ok and might take hubby with me next time. Not sure if I need a phycologist rather than a counselor .. But I'll see how things go... Now I'm rugged up on the couch waiting for dd2 to go to sleep so I can have a nanna nap...
-
Did you get your nana nap melster?
I saw the GP who tried to tell me to relax because my hcg levels were fine but once she realised how distressed I was she booked me in for a viability u/s. And the u/s showed an empty sack, no embryo :( Am now waiting to hear back from GP so I can go pick up pathology slip & have bloods. Who wants a bet I'm going to be crying & drinking wine by this time tomorrow? :cry:
-
Big gentle hugs Tic toc. Im so sorry hun.
-
I'm so sorry Tic Toc :hug:
I've been so slack in here but i wanted to pop in & say we are excitedly expecting a little BOY.
Still in a bit of shock, but love that i get to go shopping & buy stuff for the little man :)
-
Isn't an empty sack and no heartbeat kind of expecting at this many weeks tictoc?
I only had a sack and fetal pole and heartbeat at basically 6 weeks?? Are you 100% sure of dates??
How stressful and scary :(
Praying for good news for you!!!!
Cheshire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!! A little boy!! How exciting, crazy and unexpected for you!!
-
I've got my fingers crossed duchess that somehow my dates are wrong but I was temping to pinpoint O & I've been studying my chart a lot this afternoon & can't see how it could be wrong. I had a blood test this afternoon, have to wait til weds to see what my levels are doing. Am still booked in for my u/s next Monday incase my levels are still increasing. I wasn't expecting a HB but I did think a fetal pole or something would be in there. Had to do internal even to see the sac clearly.
The strange thing - for the last 3 days whenever I have sat in the lounge the cat has been on me & will stay there until I move. Wonder if he knows I need cuddles?
-
at six weeks I still don't think fetal pole is a must, at least I'm hoping that's the case for you.
I'll be thinking of you. Wednesday is so long away. Do something distracting tomorrow
-
Thank you for your thoughts, I have taken time off work until Thursday & DD is at camp (thank goodness) so I think tomorrow will be spent in my pjs on the couch with the cat & some DVDs. We want this baby so much, if this doesn't work it will be time to visit FS & sort out what's going on.
-
Ticktock- I was charting and all with DS2 and he (as well as all pregnancies) had low hcg and measured 2 weeks behind. If I had of gone in at 6weeks, no way would we have seen anything except maybe a sac and it wasn't till then that I even had the hcg showing on the blood test. Almost 2 weeks before the blood test had come back negative. Like with this bub, if my levels and scans were right, I'd be late before preggers lol impossible. Hope that helps a lil.
-
Tictoc nice you can Have some time at home and I bet the can knows. Best of luck thinking of you.
Cheshire wow a boy with your girls that is nice happy shopping.
Mel good on you, talking to someone can be hard hope it helps :hug:
Me tomorrow is tell work day all a meeting and hold on! DS was so cute tonight I sung Peter rabbit 10 times and in the jungle about the same while reading an animal book before bed, love story time. DF also felt squirt last night :) too cool.
-
Ticktoc hope all is ok. Often can't see much at 6 wks so don't give up yet. Sending hugs :^)
I'm anxiously awaiting my first ob apt and scan on Wed. Feeling better about this pregnancy than the last couple I lost as symptoms seem stronger but still nervous until I see a heartbeat.
Greenslw good luck telling work. I'm dreading telling my work as I just started a new job and literally got pg witin my first 2 weeks! Won't go down well! Don't have to worry about telling for a while yet though...
