2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

Forums New posts
Hey girls - is anyone else really itchy? I remember reading that some ladies get extremely itchy skin in pregnancy. I feel like my skin is crawling with prickly insects all the time. It's not as bad when I'm moving around but if I try to sit still it's torture! I'm sitting on a bus squirming like crazy as I type!
 
I've just received my Harmony results by telephone. All good, so that's excellent news.

And......




We're expecting a baby boy!
 
Agh just Googled - bad tally!! - the thing I vaguely remembered reading about was obstetric cholestasis. I'm pretty sure it's not that as it's not constant and oc comes on later in pregnancy but it sounds awful and made me itch more just reading it!

I will wait to put up team yellow's until we have a couple of pinks and blues. It'll look weird to just have the yellows for like another month. :haha:


Is anyone else afraid of being disappointed by your baby's gender? I'm so afraid I'll react negatively if they tell us it's a girl. And then I feel SOOO guilty for even thinking of it! I feel like a bad mama already. :(

I AM! I want a boy so bad I can taste it. It's gotten worse the closer I get to the scan. It's part of why I want to know before hand. I'd had to show any disappointment on the delivery day. But like Dark_Star said, I'll get over it, and I'll love my little girl. I'm trying to calm down a little bit with all the boy talk though because obsessing is making it worse.

Yes tally, I'm incredible itchy. Maybe TMI but it's mostly my boobs and my bum :blush:, I've been making sure to use on lots of cream/lotion and it helps a lot.
 
Congrats Claire.

As for gender if this is our 6 th boy I'll be a little bit disappointed that my daughter is not getting a sister yet. However I know that won't last long especially when I start shopping. I adore my boys they are so affectionate.
 
Hi ladies. Hope you don't mind me popping by. I often pop in to read how everyone is doing, can't believe the tickers are changing to 10,11,12 weeks etc already!

I was due for surgery today to have everything removed. I chickened out, petrified of being put to sleep and opted for the tablets to induce miscarriage instead. Took them about 11.30am. I'm okay, contractions hit pretty hard but I have strong painkillers and I'm passing loads already.

Just wanted to pop by and check on everyone and how you's are progressing. Hope you are all having pregnancies that aren't too problematic and that the morning sickness is starting to ease off.

xxxxx
 
Sending hugs, Natasha! <3

I have had both the surgery and the tablets. The surgery was easier for me, but only because the pain meds (Vicodin) they gave me to go with the pills didn't work at all. I hope things go as smoothly and painlessly for you as possible! Lots of love! :hugs:
 
Natasha huge hugs. I'm glad the physical side of things is being dealt with x
 
I've been sneaking in to check in too :haha:

Natasha I had the pills too and honestly compared to my natural mc they're amazing. Took them at 9.30 and I'd pretty much passed everything by lunch time. I was expecting there'd still be loads there at my scan on Friday but nope, that was it. Fxed they work so well for you and you can start to recover :hugs:

:hugs: charmed I'm so sorry to read your update

I love seeing how well you're all doing, so close to second tri now!!

Miss you guys xx
 
Miss you too lil_pixie, glad you had as good experience as possible x
 
We miss you ladies, too! I'm glad the physical healing is started, and hope the emotional part comes as soon as possible! We'd love to hear your updates when you get sticky rainbow BFPs!
 
Oh yes I agree with ginger I can't wait to see the rainbow bfps x
 
Really miss you guys too. Hoping and praying for rainbow babies very soon for you x
 
A :bfp: really is the best cure to a broken heart, I didn't believe it myself until I got this one in January after my painful 12 week loss in June. Suddenly it doesn't make me sad anymore.

Just curious what supplements you ladies are on?

I am taking Rainbow Light food-based prenatals, prescription 5000mcg folic acid, 5000iu vitamin D, 25mg gentle iron, and an omega oil supplement with 500mg DHA.
