7 week scan

in #babybear5 years ago (edited)

A few weeks ago we had our first appointment with our doctor.

After a few questions and a check up with me complaining about constant stomach pains he suggested we get our first scan to see if everything is alright with the baby.

I thought it was stress related (remember last year, all my stomach problems?), he feared it could be growing outside the uterus, we decided to go see for ourselves just to be sure.

It was an amazing thing to see and such a relief to know it's growing in the right spot with it's little heart beating.

Still having stomach pains and I'm pretty sure it's stress related.

There's so much going on over here and it's been one thing after another ever since I found out I was pregnant.

Waited 18 years for this, thinking maybe this time around things will work out, but it's been pretty much on par with how my life's gone so far.

Trauma after trauma with a few sprinkles of happiness mixed in and a lot of fight and some determination from my part, cos really after everything, I'm really tired.

In light of everything, I have a new zero tolerance for people who just want to be difficult and hateful, and I don't give a shit if you're blood, distant relo, a stranger or someone who claimed to be my friend. If you're going to be an asshole I will not put up with you, and I really won't care about who you are or rather who you think you are to me.

9 weeks ago, before I was sharing a body, I could take selfish, self righteous, self entitled, nit picking, just bored and want to argue people, no problem.

But now that I'm preggo, nothing is more important than bub.

The good thing about it all is I'm narrowing down who my real people are and yes, there's still quite a few left, and I'm very blessed to have these amazing people in my life.

Special mention and credit to my Husband who's been my rock, my everything. Who has stayed up many nights comforting me while I cried when he has to be at a job at some ungodly hour in the morning.

They're the ones who, when shit hits the fan, has an umbrella out and ready, winking at me saying "We got you."

I've realised, I don't need everyone. I just need the right ones.

What do you mean by stick harder? Like no miscarriage or extended incubation time? 😱🤞 I'm hoping not extended stay cos I would like my body back stat.

This nausea got me all 🤢🤮😭🤬
And I'm hungry, and I'm sick of being a picky eater. Got hubby getting my cravings then I take a bite and dont want it.

Awww hun 🤗🤗🤗
Hope he'll be back ASAP!

I mean less chance of miscarriage. Supposedly the nausea is caused by the strong surge of hormones. It hopefully should get better by second trimester. If not then you might have a girl haha or emotional boy lol
Yeh I didn’t want to eat a lot during first trimester just enough to satisfy the cravings haha

Ahhhh well that's good to know!!! Ok now I don't mind it as much, still wish it'd f.off already but if it's for bub then I can bear it 🐨

Yeh I have a love hate relationship with food at the moment. 😭😭 Can't even trust my cravings 😭😭

i can't know what's going on when you say hateful people but most people are assholes :) especially relatives!
at the end of the day there's only 1 or 2 maybe 3 that you really care about.

take it easy and have a great monday 🐻

Lol sounds like you already have a fair idea 👌😁 "especially relatives" 😁😁😁

Thanks for stopping by! Hope your Monday was great!

I’m reading thus while waiting for my ride in a public place and everyone around just sees another brat tapping on their phone and have no idea how hard I’m internally squeeing over ultrasound pics 🤣

Glad Bub is in the right spot and everything is going good 😄

😊 I know you do Matt.

Did you know you beam when you speak about your kids and family?

He will. I'm amazed at the changes in him over the last few weeks.

Hi baby bear and mama bear. 👋🏻

Hello Auntie D!!! ❤❤❤

My wife tells our niece all the time it doesn't matter how many friends you have just the quality of your friends. There's no point in having 100 friends when you really need them and call on them no one answers.

Congrats on the great baby news. With our second I was surprised how easily forgotten all the stress and worries you have not only during pregnancy, but even after the baby is born.

Your wife is very wise ❤

I agree with her completely. No point in having a crowd around you when not a single one will be there to support you and reciprocate the love.

There's certainly a lot to think about and consider along the way, before the baby is born and after.

We have to do another test tomorrow (the joys of having a baby when you're almost 40) so that's going to be fun ;)

I hope you know how excited we all are for you; what started out as a simple "friendship" from a shared love of a video game, turned into, I'd like to think... a special place (not just because you turned me on to the Steemit'verse) but because you were real with me...

There are many types of people in the world, yes... some good, some "not" so good! Thank goodness we have brains to know the difference yes?

Yes! And thanks Wes.

Amazing how a mutual love for Diablo could lead to a beautiful friendship across multiple platforms.

I'm glad you took to Steemit and have really thrown yourself into the ecosystem. I'm really proud of you ❤ and I think the community is blessed to have you on board.
