April Dewdrops 2019

[BelleNuit]

Sending you lots of luck tonight and tomorrow Gray! The good thing about the scan is that after it's all over you won't have to wonder anymore. I was very nervous before my 12 week scan. I think it's impossible not to be!

Beautiful scan photo Gray!

And congrats to those who are moving I to second tri this week. Should be an exciting few weeks coming up as the April group all begins to move into second tri!

How is everyone feeling? I'm just shy of 14 weeks, but still dealing with nausea and vomiting. I've started acupuncture in an effort to treat it and I'm still taking diclectin. I had so hoped I'd be feeling better by now!

Beautiful scan gray!!

Sorry you aren't getting full relief Belle

 

[Gray001]

Thanks ladies! Feeling very relieved.

Sorry to hear your not feeling great Belle, I *touch wood* haven't had any sickness this pregnancy apart from throwing all my dinner up tonight. My main symptom has just been tiredness which is still going on now!

 

[abennion]

Sorry the nausea hasn't let up, Belle.

For the most part I seem to be doing okay. I got my first craving! Went out and socked up on Chicken Ichiban (yum!). Other than that just still battling the exhaustion - hopefully that starts dwindling down soon. I'm actually kind of anxious with the lack of symptoms... I just want to know baby is doing well!

I had another OB appointment this time with a doctor and I really like her. I plan to keep all my appointments with her and hopefully have her for my planned C-section. Between seeing my new specialist Friday and her being amazing and then finding getting any amazing OB doc who totally understood my health conditions and concerns. I feel at ease and that I can relax. She checked baby with the doppler and said babies heart rate was good and he or she was moving like crazy! I forget what they had my marked as but she said with that much movement she is changing my category to viable. That made me feel really good. I see her again on the 30th! I wont have a scan until 20 weeks I was hoping for one around 12 weeks but since I had one at 6 & 8 weeks and doppler is good at basically 11w she doesn't think its needed and saves me a lot of money. She did agree to order me the NIPT. My current lab doesn't offer it so she sending me to one an hour away but she has to double check tomorrow that they offer it. This means I will find out the gender soon if so. She is doing it to give me piece of mind not because I'm at risk but because I have such a complicated health condition and have had to take a medication that can cause issues. If we do find out this way our current plan is to still wait until Halloween to announce it!

Abe I gotta laugh at the ichiban craving lol. This pregnancy I've mostly craved sweets! I've heard craving salt its a boy and sweet it's a girl. Who knows!

Vaughan I'm happy you had such a relieving in appointment. Sounds like you have a great OB!

AFM I'm coming down with a cold FML. Taking a sick day and I plan to snooze most of the day

 

[busytulip]

Sorry to hear about your cold Belle, I hope a rest day helps it move off quickly

Glad you got on well with the OB babyvaughan. I hope that things get sorted with the NIPT soon

Hey ladies :wave:

I am so so sorry I have been MIA for way too long. It's been a crazy few weeks with work and we have a new manager that interrupts my opening time quite a bit. I never have time to sit at home and catch up it feels like since I've been so exhausted the last few weeks. I will try and catch up on the thread and add any new things to the top of the list. I hope everyone is doing well! I miss being on here and hearing about how everyone's pregnancies are going!

I'm hanging in here. Baby is growing well and I swear I felt a bit of movement yesterday. Which is entirely possible since I'm officially in the 2nd trimester tomorrow!! Feels good to say that.

 

[BelleNuit]

Sounds like things have been crazy busy for you lately Angel!

Fun idea Vaughan. For gender prediction stuff:

Morning sickness - girl
Fetal heart rate - girl
Cravings - girl
Acne - girl
Mood - girl

And my gut instinct says girl

 

[abennion]

Morning sickness - boy
Fetal heart rate - girl
Cravings - boy
Acne/Glow - boy
Mood - girl
Chinese Gender Predictor - Girl

My gut is telling me girl, but as you can see the signs are confused!

 

[AngelOb]

Morning sickness - boy
Chinese Gender - boy
Acne - boy
Fetal Heartrate - boy
Cravings - girl

Leaning more towards boy but I honestly feel the same I did with DD for a few of these things. We'll find out in about 26 weeks and some odd days. I'm hoping I can hold out that long and not give in at 20 weeks like I did with her.

 

[babyvaughan]

My pregnancy is SO different then with my son. With him everything went smooth and great. This time I am getting zits which I never get, I'm sick all the time, moody, and food disgusts me lol. If I had a girl it would crazy though as the gender is determined by the sperm and my husband's dad had boys, we had a boy and his brother had two boys. So lots of boys! I am pretty sure my mother in-law will pass out if its a girl, she wants one so bad and I'm the last to have babies as my SIL both are done. I really have no preference I think two boys would be a lot of fun and I think having a little princess would be so special too! I moved my scan to OCT 30th late in the evening. We are still announcing on Halloween but we figured finding out the night before will allow us more time to get ready on Halloween and prepare the ways we are telling everyone! 27 more days! I can do this! LOL

Gender predictions
Morning sickness - boy
Cravings - girl
Acne - girl
Mood - girl
Heartrate - girl
Chinese gender predictor is trickyfor me because i conceived right around my birthday and idk the exact date. Lol so that one is invalid for me.

 

[KatieSweet]

I don't trust myself and have the worst instincts when it comes to gender feelings. I thought for SURE that DD was going to be a boy and was legit shocked when she came out and they said "IT'S A GIRL!" Took me a while to get used to that new normal hahaha.

 

[BelleNuit]

Lol Katie I hope that doesn't happen to me because I'm absolutely convinced I'm having a girl! I would be just as happy with a boy but it would be a mighty surprise that would definitely take some getting used to

Has anyone's symptoms settled down or started to change into something new?

I've noticed my skin is significantly less oily (might almost be bordering on the dry side, which is unbelievable for me) so I'm hoping the acne clears up. For new symptoms I've had a pain along the left side of my groin. It hurts when I move. It's not like a sudden pain like what I would attribute to ligament pain, but every step hurts and it never seems to settle down. So I am wondering if it is round ligament pain? Or maybe a muscle pull due to relaxing? Yesterday my uterus was also quite sore, but then I realized it was because my leggings had gotten too tight. Time to invest in a larger size
