[brit3435]

Congrats DHBH! Girls are awesome! Lots of pink dust in this thread right now and my gender scan is in the morning!!

 

[DrGomps]

Ooh yay Brit! So exciting with everyone finding out! I hope there is some blue dust coming our way!

 

[DrGomps]

I meant to say I am scared that I am having all girls. I really want a son. Especially since this is my last pregnancy.

 

[onetwothreebp]

Enough of all the pink dust in here!!!! If you guys have rubbed off on me.... LOL!

 

[SugarBeth]

Save me pink dust, ladies! I need some in 15 days!

I'm sure that out of three you've got a boy in there somewhere

 

[Hoping girl 2]

Bit of a silly one Ticker last week said baby was size of a peach, this week it's a lemon. Is the fruit in my shop faulty, or aren't peaches generally bigger than lemons? I know there are exceptions but generally? I was similarly confused when it went from lime to prune earlier on! Not that it matters of course, but it made me think earlier

 

[ready2Bmum]

Hopinggirl...I had this thought last week. My app said my baby was 4 inches long and the size of an apple. That's a very very big apple!!!

Is anyone else starting to feel a little pubic bone pain/pressure? I don't remember feeling this until the 3rd trimester with my first pregnancy, but who knows maybe it's already starting?

 

[Skadi]

No pubic bone pain here, but terrible lower back pains. I think its from picking my daughter up but it's not really something I can avoid.

 

[elleff]

I wonder about the fruits sometimes too!! Seems a little inconsistent!

I haven't had any pubic pain but I've had some horrid pains around my sides and ribs. I asked the midwife and she said that everything is having to move out the way to make room for baby so that's all it is. I'm not getting worried though as the hb is still beautiful and strong on the Doppler and the pains don't last longer than 10 mins.

I think second pregnancies must be a little easier when you know about all these aches and pains and are a little more knowledgeable!!

 

[Lara310809]

Lol at the fruits. I'm used to standard sized fruits, but a couple of weeks ago we went to Portugal and saw monster fruit; a segment of an orange I bought was about 5 inches long! I just go by the measurements really. This week I'm a mango, and down to the measurements and the mangos we have here, it's accurate. But a few weeks ago I was a lime and it seemed much bigger than any of the limes I've seen

I'm so uncomfortable and tired now. I had an easy first trimester but I didn't realise tiredness would be like this in the second tri! Crazy. I can only lie down, and even then I feel bloated and uncomfortable.

 

[AJCart]

Is anybody else being nailed by "pregnancy rhinitis"? I am sneezing more than I do in hayfever season! Apart from an odd "full" feeling in my lower abdomen and the occasional twinge or ache the ridiculous sneezing is about my only symptom that I'm even pregnant.

 

[Skadi]

Hmmm in some ways its nice having experienced this "all" before, but in many ways this pregnancy is so different from my first. With my first pregnancy I had terrible food aversions along with MS, this time just MS. The first time I was checking the toilet paper every time I wiped to check for spotting I was so worried something would go wrong. I haven't even had time to think about worrying about anything this time around.

This pregnancy is also going by super fast. I remember it felt like ages before I hit second trimester the first time. I think the real difference is having a baby keeping me busy right now - I have no time to really think about pregnancy! lol

 

[DHBH0930]

I think we have her name picked out. Kayla Joy

 

[onetwothreebp]

That's a beautiful name!

We had decided on Cohen Allen for a boy but lately I'm feeling Camden Allen... we haven't narrowed down a girl name yet, OH has rubbish taste. Lol.

It's hard to compare this pregnancy to my last one because I'm not nearly as sick as I was before and I'm slightly more emotionally prepared for it.

 

[DrGomps]

luz, I am having tons of pubic bone pressure, have been for awhile....


DHB, love the name...

and yeah I agree...lemons seem smaller...but maybe longer??? Fruit varies alot...

I had a prenatal massage today...one with a hole in the table for bump...OMG...it was LUSH!!

 

[Kaiecee]

This is my 4th pregnancy and I have symptoms and pains I never had with my other pregnancies which really sucks!

 

[SugarBeth]

I've been having a lot of pelvic pain this time too. I'm pretty worried that it might turn into SPD, so I'm praying it doesn't! That's the last thing I need, with sciatica and breaking my tailbone in labor. Let me skip something!

This pregnancy is going really fast for me too. The idea that I'll be half way next month is crazy! I'm torn though, in some ways I feel more relaxed about this pregnancy. I don't stress over every little thing, I know the pregnancy rules, what labor is like, what to expect, etc. I do stress more though because of my miscarriage in my last pregnancy, so this time the only thing I'm scared of is the health of the baby, but now that I'm feeling movements, that's starting to ease up a bit.
