So I am freaking out a little.
I feel like I am having..... Braxton hicks??? Is that possible (and not a reason to panic) at 11.5 weeks? They aren't painful but it's an overall tightening that lasts about 30 seconds or so.
Any second timers have this??
Click to expand...

Maybe it is some kind of round ligament pain where you are starting to stretch now?
 
Look at all the cute bumps! Lovelie ladies!

Do you feel your showing sooner now since this isn't your first go round?

I'm still waiting for mine and this is my first. I've even lost a couple pounds but my belly look the same so I don't think that's it.
 
I definitely think it's coming much sooner than before!
 
Krispy I have no idea but maybe drink a lot of water and sit down and relax!! Sometimes dehydration and overdoing it can bring on Braxton hicks!
 
Febbride- that was a scary weekend I hope the infection clears quick. I'm glad you saw your little one.

Krissy- my fingers are crossed for you that it's nothing serious.

And it's good to see such cute baby bumps, I'm 10 weeks tomorrow and I'm already showing. I have gained so much weight already and people are asking why the butt is bigger and one even asked if I'm expecting and I gave a big fat NO.
 
It came on after having a biggish dinner then going up and down two flights of stairs to take care of dd... So hopefully it was nothing major. It seems to have stopped now.
 
I've lost 15lbs so gotta ask the High risk Dr about that tomorrow I think I'm starting to show a Lil but my belly has always poked out a Lil :haha:

KrissyB I get the same feeling I think it's either stretching or maybe baby turning HTH
 
Krissy B, I've had contractions pretty much every day since 8 weeks, and they started at 8 weeks last pregnancy, too. I have an Irritable Uterus, so my body has non-progressive contractions (not Braxton Hicks) for the majority of my pregnancies. Later on in the pregnancy, I'll get them every 2-3 minutes for hours on end. So if they come at time-able intervals, it's possible you have an Irritable Uterus this time, since most people don't get BH so early, but it might also just be from overdoing it. :flower:
 
Wow, such cute bumps! I'm still in the bloated stage where I just look thick around the middle and I'm up 10lbs from my normal weight due to IVF meds so I have a little belly but it's just fat since I had it before I got pregnant too :haha:. I love having a bump so I can't wait until mine pops a little more.

Krissy - I've been feeling that the past two days or so and thought the same thing, it reminds me of the braxton hicks I had with DD during the last month of pregnancy. I'm assuming it's too early for true braxton hicks so thought maybe it's round ligament or from the stretching/growing uterus.

Hereishoping - :hugs: it's so hard once you've dealt with loss to have a stress free pregnancy. Once I start feeling movement I think my fears will be eased a lot.
 
So after a second day of increased cramps I called the midwife, she suggested I up my water intake to a gallon a day and call for an appointment the next day (today) just to be safe. And all is well :D It took them a (very very stressful) minute to find the heartbeat, it's tucked all the way on the right, but once they did it was loud and strong and clear. They're best guess is that A. I do need to be drinking more and/or B. The increased cramping and discomfort could be due to endo scarring or pressure being put on the two endometriomas I had.
As long as our little lucky star is hanging in there, I can deal with any additional pains/discomfort - but that peace of mind (and hearing the HB again) was totally worth making the appt for. :thumbup:
 
Had my NT scan today and to my surprise it's another boy!! Baby boy number 3 !! :)

I've also got a huge bump
This time which is even there (albeit smaller) when I lay down !
 
Great news Krissy!

Congrats on finding out you're team :blue: Adriansmama!
 
So I had more blood on Wednesday with cramps and clots so my midwife arranged another scan on the same day (Wednesday)in EPAU - they found a bleed next to baby's sac, she called it a sub chorionic heamatoma (sp?) but baby was 'bigger' on Wednesday and the heartbeat was what she expected so she wasn't worried - she warned me that i could either bleed for a while (with clots) or it will just stop and be reabsorbed, she said if I bleed for longer than a week call them and they will rescan me to keep an eye on baby but she wasn't worried which made me feel calmer xx

This is by far my most stressful pregancy - so glad it's half term now (i ws signed off this week to 'rest')
 
Thank you busy :) I am early and there is a small margin for error but she showed me the potty shot and I'm not sure how it could turn into a girl lol
 
Glad to hear everyone is doing Well!!! AFM my appointment w the high risk Dr was good and my Materniti21 test was done we will have results in 7-10 days!! :)

She didn't give me a potty shot so idk much I can only speculate

Febbride, I'm sorry you're still bleeding, but at least you have an answer now. :hugs: Most women who have a SCH go on to have perfectly healthy pregnancy. :flower:

AdriansMama, congrats on team blue again! Were you hoping for a girl, or were you totally okay with another boy? And awesome bump! Glad I'm not the only one that looks like they're well into the second tri already. :winkwink:

Sis4US, based on the skull shape, I'd guess boy (though I totally guessed my DS2 was a girl, so I'm not very reliable :dohh:). At least you don't have too long to wait!
 
Sis there are some ladies that are fab at guessing based on skull-you should throw that pic up into a gender guessing thread. :)

That's a relief to at least have an answer for the bleed febbride. :hugs: I know it doesn't take away the stress though.
 
Hi ladies, can I join this thread please? Was 12 weeks yesterday. Have been looking for a May 2016 thread for ages and finally found it. Have a 3 year old boy and live in London. Have my first ultrasound on Wednesday. Can't wait! Does anyone elses bump start smaller in the morning and gradually get bigger as the day goes on? Lol.
