Our last WDW trip before I have a baby!!! A Dec. 08 PTR w/ pics. Big news! 11/13

[mickeysgirl17]

OMG! So, I just found out on Tuesday, Veterans day that I'm pregnant!!!!!! This is the craziest news ever. I did not expect this. We were planning to have a baby next year as you can see in my title and orignal post but Surprise! 25 days before my trip, I find out I'm already pregnant. I was trying to hold off until next year because with my last pregnancy, I was very very sick with morning sickness. I still don't understand why they call it morning sickness when your sick all day. Anyway, I've been pretty sick the last few days but I think overall I'm doing better than I did with other pregnancy 5 years ago, but its still pretty bad. Even the little guy with the popcorn is making me think of popcorn and I feel sick right now!
So, I still really really really want to go to WDW and I'm going to keep trying my best to see if something will get rid of this "morning" sickness so that I won't be throwing up all over MK and the other parks all day or whoever is sitting next to me during Phillharmagic or HISTA.
DH thinks we should cancel the trip and just go for 3 days or so that way I won't get worn out and he really thinks that we'll be wasting so much money on the deluxe plan when I can't really even eat a cracker right now because it comes right back out. Plus, I already bought mvmcp tickets and they are non-refundable, but of course, I still really really want to go so as of now, I'm playing it by ear and I'm leaning more towards going and sticking with my original plan than not going. Hopefully, I will find a cure to this morning sickness before the next 18 days or so (which will be around 5 days before my trip just incase I have to cancel) and I will still be able to go. I'll keep you guys updated. So, what do you all think?

Congratulations! What wonderful news.
I say go. How long did your morning sickness last with your last pregnancy? Use that as a guide. You could always just cancel the Dining part of it, or down grade to the regular dining. And I would stay off of RRC and ToT and a few others. Plan to take a rest each afternoon and you should be fine.

With my last one, it lasted until 6 months, but I already don't feel as bad as the last one and I think I'm doing so much better this time, which is why I'm leaning toward going. I am currently considering downgrading to the regular DP even though I was so excited to try all those restaurants with the deluxe. I wouldn't even go on ToT or RnR normally so that's not even a problem. I'm not a thrill ride person. Hopefully, I can sit on the ends of theaters and shows so that in case I have to make a run for the bathroom, I can get out without disturbing everyone! Thanks.

Congratulations!!! I had a friend that sprinkled salt in her hand and licked it. She said it was the salt on crackers that made her feel better so she was just skipping the cracker part. Maybe carry pretzels with you if salty snacks work for you.

Congratulations!!

I found with my last one that if I kept something in my mouth, usually peppermint gum, I was a lot less sick. Also decaf tea with a little bit of ginger in it, worked wonders. I got the thing of ginger in the spice section at the store

 

[mickeysgirl17]

Thankyou!

Thankyou. At this point, I'll try anything especially to go on my trip. Now let me go find the salt and ginger.

CONGRATS!!

I have a new title for your PTR - or maybe the title for your TR:

"Pregnant and Pukin' at Disney World"

I'd say go - but drop the DxDDP ... This may be your last chance for a while with a munchkin (hobbit, rugrat, screamin' banshee ...) coming along ...

OK - time to put my into the bath tub ...

I'll be back ...

 

[mickeysmyboy]

I hope your feeling good!!!

 

[bellasmommy0]

Congratulations!! I say you should go and I agree maybe drop the DxDP down, if you are that sick you arent going to feel like eating so heavily! But you know what will work out best for you and your family!!

 

[mickeysgirl17]

Thanks everyone. So, here's an update:

I have 2 choices. First, I can keep everything the way it is and just go to WDW, but add in a few more breaks everyday. I finally got to the doctor and they gave me something to keep the nausea under control. Thank goodness. I'm finally able to eat a little and keep some fluids down but the medication makes me very sleepy so I nap 2-3 times per day.

2nd option: Cancel the trip and use the money for a used car that I will probably need within the next few months. We already have a car, but DH must use it for work and I need my own car so that I don't have to walk to pick up DD from school when I get to big and too tired to stand up for more than a few minutes.

This is a very hard decision. I don't know if I can keep working which leaves me with the problems of how will I pay my car insurance and gas for the car anyway? But....I also really really don't want to miss this trip because If I do cancel, I won't be able to return until 2010. It's so hard to think of cancelling after all the planning I've put into it and how much I really want to go.

What do you guys think I should do?

 

[mickeysmyboy]

Oh my goodness! That is terribly hard! Have you talked it over with DH? It sounds like it might be best to cancel the trip but, I'm not in your shoes so I can't tell you for sure.

I'm glad the dr was able to give you something to help the all day sickness! I'll be thinking of you!

Thanks. DH really would rather me get the car so that it will be easier on me and that's probably what I'll have to do. It just really bothers me to cancel especially after DD knew about it and was so excited. I'm thinking about just going for one day (Dec. 9th) to use my Disneyquest and mvmcp tickets just to make her happy! Plus, I don't think those tixx are refundable. We'll see what happens. I'll let you know.

 

[joelp]

I'm pretty sure the MVMCP tix are not refundable ...

So why don't you drive up that afternoon, check-in for one night, go to the MVMCP, and then maybe hit a DisneyQuest or DTD the next day before heading home ... ?

If you don't go - you'll be bummed ...

... not to mention the DD ...

So - maybe spend about $150 for the hotel and food and stuff - plus the $150 you've already spent for the MVMCP tix ... and put the rest towards the car ...

Cuz unless you can sell the MVMCP tix, you're already out $150 ...

Just my 2 cents ...

 

[Roxychica7]

I totally agree. If anything, I'd go to use your christmas party tickets and go to DQ. I think you'll regret it for YOU not going, or being able to go until 2010, plus you'll regret it once DD realizes that you're not going either.

 

[bellasmommy0]

I agree with all of them, at least come up for a day or 2 and put the rest of the money towards your car. It will be your last trip as a single child family to make the most of it!!

 

[addictedtothemouse]

I agree with doing the shortened trip. Maybe that will "hold" you over until after the baby arrives and you can go again.

 

[tinkerbell87512]

Congratulations!!!!!! Sorry about the tough decision you have about your trip. keep us updated on what you decide to do.

 

[RandiB]

Did you decide to go for just the day. I think that would be nice.

We are trying not to tell DD4, but more because we wanted it to be a birthday surprise. I am very bad at surprises though.

I've been dying to give my DH his Christmas present since it arrived in the mail yesterday.

 

[mickeysgirl17]

OK....so, I cancelled the trip yesterday. It was very sad and dissappointing to do, but its for the best. I will still go to WDW for 1 day on Dec. 9th to use our disneyquest and mvmcp tickets. (We only live 2 hours away so this will work out fine). Plus, I won't be so sad about DD being all excited lately.

I do have some great medication that works, but it makes me sleepy and I really will need a car in the upcoming months. So, for now, I will end this PTR and let you all know that I'm not giving up. In 2010, DH and I are talking about a Land/sea package. So, I'll get to go to WDW and get to go on a Disney cruise too! Time to plan!

Thanks for all your comments and support.
