Would spd affect my hips? I'm sorry if this a stupid question, but my hips have got worse over the last week, especially my left one. I'm struggling to get in & out of bed, and I'm almost waddling when I walk because its so uncomfortable. It isn't muscular & gets worse the longer I'm walking around

My sickness seems to have pretty much gone, I did have a few retches this morning whilst cleaning my teeth, but that's it! I'm not as hungry either, but I'm still knackered!

Dazed, we've been arguing about prams for the last 4 weeks! I want the bugaboo donkey but hubby refuses to pay that much for a pram- I'll get my own way though, I always do

Hope everyone is ok? Today's not looking to nice here, yesterday was much better!

Can I have everyone's opinion? I still don't have a date for my 12 week scan, but hubby was asking if we can announce the pg after our scan yesterday, but I feel a little apprehensive. I'm 12 weeks tomorrow, and likely won't have my scan until around 14weeks. So, if you were in my position Would you announce it yet or wait until the after the next scan? Thanks!

Yes, spd can and does effect the hips, its mainly my pelvis i feel it but deffo in hips too! Getting in and out of bed, the car, turning over in bed, and getting dressed and undressed are when i feel the pain most. Its only mild for me at the moment but i know a few months down the line i will be in tears trying to turn over in bed. I have a support belt and ive had physio in the past but i didnt find they helped much.

Id announce but then im really impatient! There isnt any magic thing that happens at 12 weeks its just when alot of women have their scans and feel more comfortable announcing, but you have had yours Id love to see everyones response when you say there are 2!!!

 

[lovehearts]

With Tyler my '12 week scan' was at 11+6 and we announced that day. My 12 week scan this time was supposed to be at 11+5 but i pushed it back a week due to DH work. I would probably announce! I also cant wait to see what people say when they find out there is 2. Make sure you let us know! xx

Gemie its kind of a mix i use some aspects of a curriculum from sonlight especially bible work and history and geography as it ties everything back to what the bible says about it so they still learn about evolution etc. But they would then compare it to what the bible has to say. But because its an american curriculum i cant use it for maths and english so i buy normal school books for that and i also add in irish history.

This sounds exactly like the route we would like to go. Are you a member of the home schooling thread?
I'd like to keep in touch with you if this thread ever came to and end (hope not though!)

mis k Laura is fine just tired and busy! She has a scan on the 7th may

As for ms (I always find it weird typing that as I use the abbreviation ms for my multiple sclerosis ) mine is just feeling queasy now, also there isn't much I feel like eating but if I do t eat I then feel sick, so backwards! Lol

 

[Gemie]

Gemie as for homescooling i love it. At the moment its just my older 2 aged 7 and 8. My 8 year old is way ahead in everthing but my 7 year old is a daydreamer and finds it hard to concentrate so im delighted we homeschool him as i can only imagine how far he would fall behind in mainstream. Also next in line to start school is my 4 year old caleb and he has quite a bad speech disorder so again im glad i homeschool as i think he will do much better and we can consentrate on his speech until he turns 6.

I seriously considered home schooling my eldest who has Autism and dyslexia and pragmatic semantic disorder. The school he attended had written him off and said they would recommend that he stay in the infacnts "for a couple more years" I was pregnant with no 3 at the time and it was a very traumatic time. In the end we left London and moved back to Yorkshire and Joe started at the local village school with so much help. He had a one to one helper and speach therapy and development therapy and the school got him a statment and he made slow progress. By the time he left school 3 years ago he had A levels and has not been out of work since as a lab technician. Whilst I never actually got to home educate, it is something I'd really love to do and the resources that are available with the internet are fantastic (no computers when Joe was little!)

Ps we're also a Jesus loving family

Us too!

That's so interesting! Good for your son

Thank you for your reply re prams, I will check all your suggestions out

I would be happy to announce now, a lot of the 12 week scans are slightly earlier than 12 weeks - although mine isn't sadly!!! Enjoy x

Hi beautiful ladies! Ya'll talk so fast I can never quite keep up but I noticed the homeschooling talk and wanted to see if I could put my two cents in I was homeschooled (haha not all that long ago I guess) and really liked it. My parents used the Robinson theory (math reading and writing and everything else will fall into place) so I was self taught. Every school year I got a math book divided into chapters the same length as public school and when it was done my school year was done (one chapter a day put me right at where the normal school year is so it worked perfectly). After a chapter of math I was expected to read something to do with science, social problems etc and write a two page report and then I had to read a classic for 2 hours and I was done. I graduated at 15 and got my nursing degree at 18 and was able to buy our first house at 19. Not saying every homeschooler is like this or for that matter every public schooler isn't for sure! I just really liked being able to work ahead. My older siblings went to public school and are all very successful but when they graduated (they're much older) my parents started traveling for mission work and it was easier just to bring me along so I was the experiment . As far as my family goes both systems produced educated people. Sorry that was long! Hope everyone is doing well!

zowiey given all you've said I'd be happy to announce now x

That's very interesting to read, thank you for your input. I love reading people personal experience with home ed

My scan is bang on the 12 week mark and we're planning on annoucing as soon as we get back from it, all being well. Parents/grandparents and siblings know anyway, so just the wider family of aunts/cousins, friends and work colleagues to announce to, courtesy of facebook due to everyone being so widespread.

I think it's going to be a surprise for a few of my extended family members, with some jealousy involved though sadly. Not that I will allow it to ruin my happiness. In a few months, I will be married to my OH and preparing for our precious baby's arrival and that's all I care about, not bitter aunts/cousins who will hate that someone is settling down and creating a family when they aren't!

Sorry, that ended up being a bit ranty instead of just answering about when to annouce!

GRR!! internet connection keeps getting lost today. I just tried to post a long post and it was lost. So here is a quickie
Lora happy 12 weeks Yippee! A milestone has been crossed So many of us have scans this week. I hope our LO has caught up to LMP dates otherwise we will be extending EDD to Nov. 08 instead of Nov. 04 if so that puts me at 12 weeks Friday instead of yesterday. OB doc says we are sticking with original due date til we see where baby is on Friday. FX. I can't wait to have everyone in 2nd trimester soon. Super excited for us all.

DH feels in his gut we have a def. boy growing. He has been debating it for over a week and this morning he said before he left for work that he thinks Boy. I hope to get the "Potty Shot" Friday and see what everyone thinks

 

[sunnysun]

Happy 12th week to all of you there!

Another 4 to go for me, I had issues with spotting and thought that was it again, but did a scan today and baby is measuring spot on 8weeks and 3 days.

Finding the first trimester a bit hard!

Scan Wednesday! I can't wait! I'm counting down the hours! Lol I can't believe how many of us there are this week having scans! Super exciting!

I have been able to not take a nap for the last 2 days! Whoo hoo!! That is HUGE for me

I feel like I want to clean today- the weather is finally beautiful ( even tho we did have snow this weekend) but it seems like it takes a lot longer for my body to do anything my brain wants to haha

Hope everyone is well so so so happy to see everyone hitting milestones and realizing that the whole group will most likely (i pray) be here till the end!!

 

[peanutmomma]

we had too Tower! My parents live in Missouri and they said it was in the upper 60's and some rain over the weekend. My mother in law called me yesterday and said in Seattle it is in the 50'60's and that she Promises with all her heart that spring really does exist in Minnesota. LOL I hope so. We visited up where we now currently live last year in early May and it was so pretty, but winter has kept itself around thus far this year. There is no more snow today it all melted, but it has been raining. It's ok though April is suppose to bring rain. Glad you are getting energy back my twin.


Okay, on a more serious note... Ladies I have a question, I bought this new bath salt sstuff over the weekend. It smells like lavender and vanilla, (Calgon) and I took a nice warm bath Saturday evening to relax. Well, it was real nice, but I got some of the water on my face when I was soaking and now I have this light pinkish bumpy rash. Can our skin become more sensitive during pregnancy? Maybe it isn't related to my bath stuff because it is just on my neck, chin and lower cheeks. It really doesn't itch, but you can see it and feel it. I took Benedryl and it is still there. Any suggestions?

I love this little face I am drinking some decaf coffee right now. LOL

 

[Kdk24]

I am officially 12wks today!!! I wish I could scream it from the rooftops but we're waiting it out till our genetic scan on Friday. I really hope it's nothing serious! I want this baby so badly but I'm trying not to get too excited now that there could be a problem!

Does anyone have have pain by there pelvic bone? Some days I can't stand on my right leg it hurts so bad
