Hey ladies! Sorry I've been MIA a few days...hopefully I can attempt to catch up!
Yey Misty! Sounds like you're measuring pretty much on track!! Happy Mango week too
I've lost weight too this pregnancy, but I've only just begun putting it back on...I'm now back to my pre-pregnancy weight at nearly 20 weeks! Yay! Have you begun feeling little man yet?
Oooohhh, I really hope you get that secret ultrasound Janelley! It's been a long-time waiting! 162 at nearly 17 weeks pregnant is a lot higher than my little man's heartbeat (He average around 145-152 depending on whether he's sleeping or awake!) so maybe you do have a little girlie in there after all!! Sorry to hear Samuel isn't very well too
But it sounds great that you're being such a caring Mommy...I remember when I was young and not well...my mom used to just make me stay in bed and checked on me once a day, so she didn't catch anything! Not so caring!
Army: Oooohhh, a rash is not good...asking Dr Google could possibly be worse though! I'd just pop along to the doctors and get it checked out...I had a rash on the tops of both thighs and underneath my boobs about 4 weeks ago, and got myself really worried searching google, but it was just a little bit of folliculitis (Skin pore infection) that cleared up with a few days of antibiotics and hasn't returned...hopefully, it's the same for you x
Libby: I've read so many different opinions on stomach sleeping, and I'm still not sure of it myself...My opinion is to continue until your body (Or rather, your bump!) tells you "Enough is enough! Sleep on your side now!" I'm still half-stomach sleeping, and it's fine for me! I kind of sleep on my belly, but with my leg up to the side, and that takes the pressure off my tummy and helps me sleep!
His Grace: Hope you're well!! 17 weeks tomorrow, wow!!
Morning to alll the other lovely ladies!!!
I'm tired this morning, but promised my hubby that I'd get up with him for once and spend some awake time with him before he left...I'm proud of myself, because I'm so tired lately! I managed to avoid morning sickness for a whole 10 days (Woohoo!), but finally threw up this morning! Still, a major improvement, and I can cope with 1-2 days of morning sickness a week!
Can't believe I'll have a half-baked little boy on Saturday, it's crazy!!! I've had a bit of a stressful week with a few episodes of spotting, but everything has seemed fine again for the last few days so I think everything is fine! The most recent was after sex, so I'm pretty sure it's just my cervix, because my placenta was fine and in the right place at my last scan a couple weeks ago! He's still wiggling away in there, so I'm happy!
I've got my 20 week u/s in 48 hours (Argh!), and even though I'm excited to see Jenson again, I'm terrified that they'll find something wrong! I really want him to be healthy!
Right...I'm going to pop off for a little while... I need to walk my dogs (It's soo cold here in London, Brrrrr!), then I'm going to continue with my feeble attempt at learning how to knit! I really want to make a baby blanket for Jenson, and spent 6 hours knitting yesterday, only to leave the home for an hour and get back to my dog unravelling the whole thing around my living room and kitchen! I was gutted!x
