Hey Ladies
Hope you are all well
We finally announced our pregnancy to everyone now we have hit the 12 week mark (Also did it on my birthday, made it feel extra special).
Seeing all these bump pics is so nice. I am starting to develop a slight bump, but it just looks like ive been eating too much. Ill be happier when you can tell its a baby bump.
I have also started to feel faint fairly regularly, and get bad migraines is this normal?
I also have my appointment at the end of the month to do a tour of the hospital and book in for Ante-natal classes. Its all starting to feel real
I have added a picture of we did our reveal too.
Hope you all have a great weekend

Cute announcement and happy birthday ^_^

Wanting that’s so lovely! I love that penguin vest! Happy birthday toooo!

I’m going to jump on the bump bandwagon if that’s okay girls!

 

[MollyMoon]

Aww thanks guys. I'm busted out from all my pants and jeans but one pair... Those weren't buttoned up all day lol! Time to go shopping soon I'm getting most of my maternity clothes used second hand and online and Wish has a few good items and baby stuff too! Cause I'm trying to budget

My boobs haven't been sore as of yet - knock on wood - but nips are big time especially when I dry with the towel after a bath... Ouch!

I'm just kinda glad I'm not going to be hugely pregnant during the hot summer months how bout you guys ? Although either way I'd be a happy momma to be!

 

[Emsabub]

Molly the hairband trick works really well for holding together jeans you just don’t want to lose 😂

But for being pregnant during the summer, it’s vile now but when it gets to the end I’ll be extremely grateful! I was at the end with my daughter August 2016 and it was horrific. Kinda ruined the experience a little but still!

Cute bumps and announcements. Just got back from my 12 week and heard baby. Everything seems tight on track though my doc says second trimester starts at 14 weeks so I have some time til I get there but apparently anything going wrong from this point is really rare so I am very excited. We already announced at 8 weeks I folded up the scan and gave it to dd to hand to grandma. It was great. I can't wait to feel legit movement

 

[gigglebox]

Babybum glad your scan went well! I have mine in 2 weeks and i know i'm going to be a nervous wreck!

No idea about summer pregnancy as I've had two spring babies, and now this mid-late winter bub. But i know how miserable the last few weeks can be anyway so add the sweltering heat to that and, yeah, no thanks!

 

[MollyMoon]

Thanks I will give it a try and I also wanted an excuse to go shopping too!

mwel- yes! I had the same experience with bleeding. At 8 weeks bright red blood. Freaked me out! Went to the ER and everything was fine, told me it was a tiny bleed and outside the cervix. It lasted a whole week, though. I had my 12 weeks scan a little while ago and everything is still perfect, but man, bleeding of any kind is so scary. Especially since I didn’t have any with my daughter.

Gigglebox and Ersu- you guys crack me up. I think my husband wishes I had crazy hormones like that...kinda hoping I do since right now I have zero libido. I blame the constipation. Lol!

Yes, exactly! I’m still spotting brown. Did that happen to you and for how long? I’m glad your scan went so well! I just saw someone post this same thing on a forum on FB and people were telling her not to go to the ER bc it is a waste of emergency resources...really?! You tell me that when you are losing baby. Man, people can be rude and mean. I called them heartless and the mod got onto me lol!

 

[gigglebox]

Lol!!! Good for you for calling them out. How harsh! Don't seek medical attention?! What???!!! That is insane.

 

[Jingles23]

Awww, you guys all look so cute with your bumps! I'd show kind but its huge already (I popped out pretty much as soon as I found out. My body knows the drill. Lol!!)
I have my first midwife appointment coming up on Tuesday. I'm still kinda sad though because i have to have a new midwife. I've had the same one for the last 3 babies. But she's on holidays around my delivery. ��

I'm super happy to be having a winter baby. My last 3 were born in the summer and it's awful being hugely pregnant in the heat. Not to mention nursing....

We've been busy house hunting. 3 beds and 1 bath aren't cutting it anymore. Almost found our dream home but it went into a big bidding war and went for way more than the asking price ☹ Oh well, keep searching.

 

[WantingababyF]

I love how all you ladies are talking about not being greatly pregnant through your summer. As for me and our lovely opposite seasons here in Australia I will most certainly be ready to pop throughout the hotest months of the year. Yay for me!! Im absolutely dreading it, my saving grace is that im not at work atm so i can spend days sat under air conditioning
BabyBum, That's great news that your 12 week scan went well, i bet you feel quite relieved. Although im sure we will all feel much better when we hit that 2nd Trimester. Not too long to wait now

Mine was bright red for seven days, then brownish light spotting for maybe a day or two...I stopped paying too much attention once the real bleeding stopped. These things take time to heal. I can’t believe people say not to bother with the ER. If i hadn’t have gone I would have been a basket case. I was visiting family in a different state when I started bleeding, if not for the positive ER visit my whole trip would have been ruined and full of stress. People need to hush up sometimes.

Wanting, i was actually thinking "i wonder if any of these ladies are Australian and this doesn't apply" lol! Yup when I realized y'all have Christmas in the blazing heat my mind was blown.

 

[WantingababyF]

gigglebox, It is very strange for me to have christmas in the middle of summer and bbqing a Turkey, because my family and I emmigrated to Australia from england when i was 16 (10 years ago). It is still something you can't quite get used to. I do miss having a white christmas, as it never quite feels the same.

 

[Lexi's Mummy]

Hey ladies!! I've tried my best to read every post from the last time I was able to get on here And read properly. It's so nice to read how everyone's getting on .

As for me my dates got pushed slightly so new due date is 12th jan instead of 14th. But to expect them here by Xmas! So excited. Will try add latest scan pic and bump pic. I'm 14+2 today and have another scan and first consultant appointment a week on Thursday. I'm going to ask if she can tell the gender at that one but have a private gender scan booked in for 2 weeks on Saturday if she cant. and a gender reveal for the sunday eek!

My sex drive only just seems to be making an appearance now As I've not wanted nor have I been be near dh for over 6 weeks! Poor guy. Sickness has now tapered off and not quite as tired. Got a major craving for either Chinese chicken noodle soup or avacodo and smoked salmon on brown toast! Think that's about it for an update! Gonna try stay up to date now haha x

 

[W8tingforbaby]

Had my 12 week ultrasound today and this baby was so active. Cant wait to find out what we are having, did the genetic testing today which includes gender so I should know soon

 

[MissMarpleFan]

Cute scan! It looks like a real baby!

I pray I have the same experience today, I've been having very light spotting since Thursday, so they moved my sono up from this Friday to today.

 

[Jamers89]

Hi ladies! Sorry I've been MIA lately. Work has been crazy and I've been sleeping every spare moment I can find. I'm glad everyone seems to be doing well!

I've got my 12 week ultrasound tomorrow, and I am so excited and nervous. I just want to know that everything is OK.

 

[MissMarpleFan]

Good news for me today!!

Little baby is actually starting to look pretty cute. S/he was dancing around a lot too. What a relief. I've had the most stressed out weekend.

Next hurdle to pass is getting good results from the genetic testing, either Friday or Monday.
