LOVE them. My mom and I went to O.ld N.avy and G.ap a month ago just as I was starting to get annoyed with the B.ella Ba.nd and all my bloatedness. I COULD. NOT. BELIEVE. how incredibly comfy the maternity pants are. Not only to they allow your belly to expand, but you don't have to fiddle with buttons and zippers. Peeing a million times a day is a breeze!!! I am now wearing them exclusively.
M and I bought a fetal doppler on Sunday. It just arrived today, but I can't use it yet because they are sending the gel in another shipment. Very much looking forward to hunting for Elfie's heartbeat. If we can find and hear it, this next week and a half until my second OB appointment will be awesome. Awesome.
On the symptoms front, I have had a headache since Sunday. It actually started on Saturday night just before bed. I finally broke down and took tylenol on Sunday night since we were at the ILs' for dinner. I also took some yesterday and today, but it's starting to annoy me. I think if it goes on much longer I'll call the doc, although everything I've read has said it's normal to have them at this stage..sooo..I might just have to stick it out. In addition, stretch marks are starting to appear in places that are not my belly....hmmm...not too excited about THAT.
hi! we have such similar stories and are the same age too, not to mention both exactly 12w5d!! Congratulations to you both :)
ReplyDeleteThat's good you're enjoying maternity wear- I am not!! I just find the clothes so frumpy and wish I could just fit into my normal clothes (really realistic I know!!)
Look fwd to following your journey.
I totally agree with you! Maternity pants rock! :-)
ReplyDeleteA quick tip on the gel for the doppler. When you run out of the stuff they provide, regular KY Jelly works too and is MUCH cheaper! :-)
