It is such a monumental step to start telling people.

Like, what have I gone and done???? I want this baby more than anything and my husband and I prayed and fasted for it to happen so I am eternally grateful that God has answered our prayers. But as of yesterday, I am a little scared that I may have let the cat out of the bag too soon.

So...with all of this said...when do you guys plan on telling your bosses, not-so-close friends? And do you think I made the right decision???

:

I agree with your supervisor and the other mommies here, it's better to be safe than sorry.
It seems like there's always something that we as moms have to give up. But that's okay because we want to contribute to the best start in life for our children.
I had finally started judo (martial art) this month at the age of 29. Then I get a BFP and I quit judo immediately. It's just not worth the risk.

I'm so sorry too Sadie.

OK so today I'm going to have a pg test with my fam doc. I haven't heard back from the m/w yet if they can take me (they said they'd call within the week). So if I don't hear from them by this afternoon, I'm wondering if I should tell me fam doc I'm waiting to hear from them, or NOT tell her, get her to give me a referral to my old OB (her office is right next door) and then if I DO get a yes from the m/w, cancel the OB appt. What do you think?

I don't know if it's considered bad form to line up backup care, but I also don't want to find myself with no one, I called this OB really early on last time and JUST got in. I also have no idea if my doc can/would give me a referral to the OB, knowing I'm waiting on a call-back from a m/w?

[mrsrwbabe]

I am so sorry Sadie!

Urg, I had a big, long post typed out... and then Mothering wasn't working properly... I even c&p'd it... but now, I'm on my account (I was on dh's before) and pasting is not working!

Have you tried saltines or potato chips?

Not twisted... see my sig
4 *weeks* of bleeding, that must have been hard -- I would have gone crazy. I'm glad everything was fine in the end.

Baby Makes 4 -- for getting a mw!

kitty waltz -- I'm so sorry. My early m/cs were like a heavy period, but I've had friends who had heavy bleeding in early pg (one thought it was her period and figured she wasn't pg yet) who went on to have healthy babies. So, you never know.

Liam's Mum, I don't know if it's bad form... maybe if there were enough care providers so that you weren't in danger of being without care if you don't make sure your bases are covered, then it would be in bad form. But given the current state of things....

I dreamed about bleeding again last night. Arg. So disconcerting. I did have a nosebleed when I woke up That was a big pg symptom for me when I was pg with D. I'm nicely nauseated this morning, though.

[Liam's Mum]

so it's not just me -- I've had problems on other sites so thought it was my Internet, not MDC.

That's what I did with my last pregnancy. I made an appointment with the first clinic that seemed decent, visited three others in the meantime, and then chose one of those and canceled my appointment with the other. You don't have to tell them why you are canceling, people cancel early pregnancy appointments with OBs all the time. It's not a big deal.

[LionTigerBear]

Ditto on feeling "nicely nauseated." I have miscarried before too, so it is reassuring to have those symptoms. Also helps me reassure myself that I'm not making this up. Every time I get pregnant I have a hard time believing it's real.

[deuxceleste]

Just wanted to welcome you all to the pregnancy world!! How exciting!!!! Here I am jealous and excited for you but SOOOOO ready for this kid to COME OUT!

Best wishes and sticky, happy babies to you all!

I meant AdinaL, but it sounds like you're getting your club soon anyway! Congrats!

Sadie: Praying for you honey. :


I must be completely out of my mind. Is anybody else wierd like me?

I haven't been feeling even the slightest of symptoms. The only thing I can say I feel is that my boobies are getting slightly tender. I am ALWAYS hungry so that's no real change. So yesterday (I'm so stupid) I POAS just to reassure myself that I am still pg. Now, the funny (and very reassuring) thing is that I had already peed in the pot when I thought about it so I strained and made myself shoot a little more out (tmi?) and only a speck came but it landed directly on the $tree spout area. Immediately a dark pink thick line appeared and I breathed a much needed sigh of relief.

So...I'm still pg and last night I even tried to turn the no symptoms thing around. I slept on my stomach and thought to myself "in 3-5 mo. this will be a thing of the past so I'm gonna cherish it."

I must be insane, cuz I reaaaallly want symptoms.

pooey.:

[MOMGOTSPUNK]

Sadie, I am really sorry. :

[Brisen]

Ugh, hormones! I was just crying in the shower. We get milk from a farm and I'm stressing over the driving and so I asked my dh to drive us out tonight, even though he will have had a long day at work and I'll have spent the day here with my (not too crazy) kids. I'm thinking of stopping getting milk from the farm -- driving to get it is very expensive -- but then I feel like I'm putting convenience before my family's health

Dh replied to my email while I was typing and said he would go tonight. I'm tearing up again. Hormones!
