2019 Junebugs

Alison - Welcome! I've def already gained weight... maybe about 6 lbs or so.

Mummy - So awesome that you got to tell your little ones!!! Glad they had such a great reaction for you!

AFM, I decided to try and wean off the Diclegis (anti-nausea meds). I went from 2 pills at night down to one. About 16 hours after the fact, nausea was back with a vengeance. DEF not ready for this & took the 2 pills that evening... back to being okay. Not going to be trying that again anytime soon I thought this would be gone by 14 weeks!

Ughhh diclegis. I can't take it but I sure wish I could! It turns me into a literal zombie, even just taking the night dose had me losing time and zoning out. I'm on zofran now and it doesn't even touch the nausea. But that diclegis sure can knock it out in a hurry!

 

[Mrs. JJ]

@alison29 - Welcome! I can't math so if you tell me your EDD I'll add your name to the 1st post.

@Hoping4numbr3 - Congrats on finding out it's a little girl! I love the name! It's so fun to start putting pink/blue storks next to names on the 1st post! Can't wait to add more!

AFM - sorry I've been absent lately, work has been hell. It's going to continue to suck for a while so I'll try to check in when I can so I can update the 1st post. Have I missed any changes for anyone? Let me know!

I'm definitely showing now though it's way more obvious on me because my usual chonky belly is being pushed out even farther than usual. Nothing fits either, had to break out maternity jeans and I'm fed up with my bra, my belly keeps pushing it up out of my shirt. I got my 1st belly rub the other day, it was really weird since I happen to know it's only 25% baby so that person was just rubbing mostly fat. Took everything I had not to jump back 2 feet.

14 weeks today and I have an appointment in 2 hours. I don't think the doc is planning a scan today but I hope I get lucky, I want to officially announce (like I really need to since everyone pretty much knows ) but I want a good ultrasound to announce with and to make sure baby girl has all the required limbs and organs. Taking my 4-year-old with us today so fingers crossed all is well.

@Mrs. JJ I hope all goes well this Arvo and you get a scan! Did your little one enjoy the appointment?

Girls I’m so sorry the meds aren’t working! Or are working but your still feeling crappy! The nausea is killer!

 

[emzeebob]

Got my dating scan through today. 27th December I'll.be 13w4ds though but I rang and asked.and it's because they are so fully.booked they couldn't get me in. So excited. Swear I'm feeling flutters but probably gas lol

Still on the piriton like tablets. Missed a dose last night and this morning I woke up and my skin was crawling, defo never forgetting them again. Midwife rang and wants me on am extra dose of vitamin d cos of my weight. Am guessing this a new thing as didn't need it with the boys.

Aggghhh all these scans can't wait to see.pics

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@emzeebob ahhhh a Christmas scan! I guess with Christmas coming up you’ll be busy so hopefully the time passes quickly! Your poor rash! Must be horrible

 

[littlejune]

If it's a boy, we'll probably name him Lucas. I'm not sure on a middle name yet though.

As for a girl, we have a list... and I'm not 100% on any of them. Here are some we are considering: Ava, Natalie, Liliana (Lily), Alexandria (Lexi), Charlotte, Chelsea, Aria, Emilia (Emi), or Emma. I'd love the middle name Rose for a girl.

We love the name Lucas for a boy too!

 

[littlejune]

Hi all! Sorry I’ve not posted in ages- just been so busy I can hardly keep my head on straight. I love all the name posts and scan posts! So exciting! We have our next apt on the 20th which will just be a tummy measure and I will be around 17 weeks. Currently about 15 weeks and was beginning to feel better until I caught a killer cold. Yuck!

Anyway- not much else is new here- just living the preggo life one day at a time lol.

 

[Mrs. JJ]

I didn't get a scan but I did ask my doc about a 3D so he is sending me to a place before my insurance changes from a PPO to an HMO next year. So Dec 26th I'll have a specialist do the anatomy scan and I'll get some 3D shots of our girl!

Hi Mrs j. That’s exciting to break out the maternity clothes! I probably will need them in a couple of weeks. My pants usually sit low on my hips so getting away with it for now.
Will you buy new clothes? Where do you buy your maternity clothes?

That’s exciting to bring 4 year old I was wondering when to bring my kids of course they want to go to next one but I want to be sure it will go well also. My next one is dec 11
How did it go today?

I estimates my due date to be June 12. So 12 weeks 6 days tomorrow. Thanks for adding me!

 

[alison29]

Forgot to update but wanted to post this in case it happened to someone else. So Dh and I dtd sat morning and I had bleeding until this morning (with small clots) I called nurse and she said it Was normal and not to worry. It was scary and really depressing when it kept going on for so long.

 

[crusherwife44]

I forgot to say after my scan my duedate is june 9th. My miscarriage this year was june 8. Kinda crazy.
Im in maternity pants some days.
Since i was scared this time around i stopped running and working out as soon as i found out. And ive gained 10 pounds! So ive started walking and lifting again. Ordered some pregnancy workout leggings too!

 

[Hoping4numbr3]

I need to start working out again as well! I haven't gained much only like 1 lb since the first appt at 6 weeks 4 days and I am 15 weeks this week but I was already heavier than I would like when I got pregnant. The midwife I met was like "Sooo um with the BMI you are at I am advising 25 lb weight gain" which is like the average weight gain most docs want most people to gain unless you are underweight but the way she said it and didn't really look at me made me feel really fat. I am slightly overweight according to my BMI but geez that appt didn't make me feel great!

What kind of weights do you do? I did some arms last night. What leg excercises do u feel comfortable with?
I don’t know if I already mentioned it but I have gained 5 lbs so far

 

[BellaRosa8302]

I totally had the zombie-like reaction to Diclegis too.... but after a couple of weeks it wore off. Even at the beginning, I was still nauseous with it, but it was better than being without it. Now I feel normal (other than when I try to go off it, of course!)

 

[crusherwife44]

Alison not pregnant i would lift heavy. But taking those 13 weeks off im weak and dont want to push it. So yesterday i did shoulders after walking a small incline for 30 minutes and this morning the walking plus legs. I sat on the leg press and did like 3 with no weight added to the machine and didnt feel comfortable. I just did squats, side lunges, and uhh forgot what they are called.. On your hands andknees kicking back? Oh and some side leg raises. So started with bodyweight. I have gained 10 at 13 weeks but i ate constantly to not throw up. What about you?

 

[DaTucker]

Asking for a friend who is roughly 7 weeks. I know spotting is normal, but did any of you ladies who spotted have a little red and pink show up and be nothing? She has an appointment early tomorrow morning but of course we're worried.

Mine at 8 weeks was more red like the start of a period from maybe 10pm then all through the night plus more spotting after an internal ultrasound & exam. Turned out to be a subchorionic hemorrhage which they said was normal and not to worry about it.

 

[elmum]

DaTucker, I did, around 5 weeks. They ended up seeing a polyp and it went away after that. I had some brown, red and pink spotting. Nothing heavy and nothing requiring a liner.

AFM, I’m 14 weeks tomorrow and feeling much better. Belly is big and very obvious. We haven’t announced on social media and won’t until our holiday cards are delivered. We are announcing to friends and family with our cards. Anyone who has seen me in person already knows! No surprises around here.
We told our four older kids over thanksgiving break. They are so excited. And can’t wait to be big helpers. Our youngest will be 8 and oldest 14 when this LO is born!
Hope those who aren’t feeling well, feel better soon!!!

@alison29 - Ok, got you added to our 1st post!

I probably won't buy too much more maternity clothes, I have my jeans and a couple skirts (from the Motherhood store) and shirts (Old Navy) left over from my previous pregnancy. Otherwise my maxi skirts and dresses and leggings should continue to fit for the rest of pregnancy.

Appt went well, it was about 5 mins long, listened to the heartbeat and that was about it. Kiddo was good but didn't seem very impressed by the heartbeat but when we got home I could hear him singing to himself about "little sister" so I think it left an impression.

Sorry to hear about the bleeding, that would be scary! Hope it doesn't happen again.
