April ‘baby’ showers 2020

[star25]

Sweden, I was thinking of you when I was having my weetabix at 3:30am thinking it was good advice and it’s definitely helped me this morning
I hope yours eases up soon
It sounds like you’re going to Be well looked after
I’m praying for a negative gestational diabetes test this pregnancy, dd I didn’t have it but ds I did, doing blood sugars every hour during labour is a pain
I also had strep b with ds so had Antibiotics drip before they broke My waters (induced on due date due to the diabetes)
They don’t test routinely for strep b which I still find strange as it can’t be so harmful to the baby during birth, however it was picked up in a 12 week urine test so I hope they actually test for it this time as I had it before, think you can be a carrier or something but I’m not sure

Sorry to hear about your bleeding baby D and your spotting star. I bled a LOT with ds3 but he managed to hang on in there, so there's still hope.

Star, mentioning strep b reminded me that I wanted to ask about being tested when it's the right time. I never had it with my others, (the test or strep b) but a friend had it with her 3rd and it just made me feel like if I ever go pregnant again I would definitely ask.

Urgh, sickness, all day yesterday no matter what I ate I felt queasy, then last night I was awake and starving so I ate a cereal bar. Last time I did that I eome up feeling fine, but today I still feel queasy. I've had to force some toast and my vitamin down. Touch wood, I haven't yet been sick, but I was gagging getting ds4s breakfast.
I had such trouble getting back to sleep as well that I woke up fuzzy headed so with the sickness I felt hung over

Annnnd I just saw a post on Facebook with someone struggling to cross and busy road and someone else stopped and carried them and I'm fighting back the tears. Apparently I've hit the emotional stage too

I think it’s over for me ladies. I just passed what looks like tissue rather than just a clot when I went to the toilet. No pain though other than the cramps last night.

Baby D

BabyD, I'm so sorry to read this! I really hope there's still some hope!

 

[baby D]

I’ve had first bloods back. HCG only 400 which is around 5 weeks. So that coupled with the bleeding confirms a loss to me - will still scan Monday to confirm but I’m certain

 

[motherofboys]

I'm truly sorry. Hopefully your scan will pick up a surprise little fighter.

 

[star25]

Oh baby d I’m so sorry
Are you bleeding now or has it eased up a bit?

 

[baby D]

Hiya the bleeding has pretty much stopped. I’ve had a headache for 3 days solid

 

[star25]

Ill be thinking of you today baby d
Hope the headache clears up soon x

 

[swedengirl]

Really hoping you get a sweet surprise today babyd. Thinking of you!!

 

[motherofboys]

Good luck baby D. Hope your headache clears soon too.

 

[HopeBT]

That is so upsetting Baby D, hope everything goes well with scan today though and you see a healthy baby xxxx

I dont really remember much of my early weeks when I was preg with DD, I think I didnt have much symptoms.
With this one though, Im feeling like a total crap somedays. Not full-on MS, but just constant hunger, yet couldn`t really eat much or feel full, just feeling so off. Oh well, the joys of being pregnant I guess
We had our weekly scan and heard the HB, 147 bpm. Very relieved, but the baby is measuring a little behind (5 days behind). Dr didn`t say anything about it, so probably ok? But got me worried and Googled like a mad woman

Hows everyone else feeling?

 

[motherofboys]

I've (Touch wood) managed to avoid actually being suck so far, but feel nauseous most of the day. I'm just keeping it at bay by eating really. The last few days I've had a sore/swollen throat and running nose too though which hasn't been fun.


I'm sure if it was a concern the doctor would have said.

 

[motherofboys]

Does anyone have a few different apps and find the discrepancy between baby sizes annoying on them? For example, last week my ticker said sprinkles, app 1 said pomegranate seeds and app 2 said blueberries. This week my ticker says tic tacs, app 1 says blueberries and app 2 says raspberries. There's quite a difference between a tic tac and a raspberry, and how could it be blueberry last week in one app but blueberry this week in another?
