Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[monro84]

Bethnee --If you believe in the old wives tale about cravings it would mean your having a boy. Boy is salty and/or spicy, Girl is Sour and/or sweet.

Jess--Same goes for you too.

Scorpio--Yay congrats thats great and your due date is my mom's b-day.

GIY--I know what you mean. I cannot plan to eat anymore I just have to eat what sounds good. Last night I cooked DH tacos but I ate 2 egg rolls.

 

[bethneebabe]

LVN--so sorry to hear your MS is so bad. Mine is worse in the evening but I work during the day so it works out. I would call your doctor to see if there is anything they can prescribe to you to help.

Alrighty--officially freaking out about my scan this afternoon. I am close to tears! I have everything of good luck on me today including my angel necklace that I got to remember the LO we lost this summer. I know that my last scan at 6 weeks was good and I have no reason to think today will go badly but I am so scared. I just love this LO so much and want so badly for things to be okay. I may have to tell my good friend at work because I'm afraid I'll start sobbing in my meeting today. I am really really really trying to stay positive!!!

 

[girlinyork]

I cannot handle this sickness~!!!!! I think im going to stop working its night shift and im dragging/ cannot stop this horrible MS. Is anyone else having it this badly?

It is definitely making my life difficult. Are you throwing up and dehydrated?

Beth, it will be fine. I'm so sure of it x

 

[LVnMommy]

Girlinyork- Oh yes throwing up nonstop, from the moment I wake, and I mean as soon as i sit up im running to the bathroom, till I go to sleep. I can feel myself getting dehydrated. Im trying to drink fluids, but you know how that goes, when its coming back up! Doctor did prescribe me phenergan friday, but the dumb medical assistant didnt send it to the pharmacy!! so i had to wait till yesterday, called the medical assistant to send it again, and when i went to pick it up, SHE SENT THE WRONG MEDICATION!!! so I finally got the right medicine today, geeez! heres hoping it works

(sorry was just a bit peeved at her when im feeling so sick!)

GL BETH!! i think everything will be dandy

 

[mackjess]

lvn I hope the meds help.

bethnee your scan is going to be great.

 

[girlinyork]

Has the doctor checked your ketones lvn? Could you have hyperemesis?

my sister is on BBC news at 6 in a moment talking about hyperemesis gravidarum.

 

[ladykara]

GIY- is she the brown haired lady with the eye liner .. Very slim ? I saw that report. X

Lvn - i feel sick all day and it gets much worse in the evenings, It was starting to get manageable for a few hours during the day but its just got back to being bad again. I used to throw up but that made me feel worse so now I try and do everything I can to not chuck up.... But all I think about it being sick !! Every smell and anything I look at makes me feel like gagging... I'm 10 weeks on thurs and hoping it will be getting better.... Im so sick of being sick, I keep thinking how much more I can take... I am so depressed,my husband is off to look after me for two weeks.. I might be joining the royal Kate soon lol x

 

[bethneebabe]

Good news ladies!!! My LO is measuring perfectly--exactly 2 weeks after the last scan. Stong heartbeat at 167bmp. I almost didn't make it since I drank the 32 ounces and was in actualy pain when they called me. The tech said not to drink so much water next time, Guess I'm too good at following orders!

 

[girlinyork]

Yes she is Kara!

Knew everything would be great Beth

 

[girlinyork]

By the way, there's a chance one of us will share a due date with the duchess. Sources say she's 8 or 9 weeks so it's wait and see. We should place bets on which of us is closest

 

[ladykara]

That's brilliant she is due same time as us, as long as its after me !! Lol I'm really excited to be pregnant with someone so well known, something to tell our LO.

GIY ha ha that's brilliant I saw your sister, did they call and ask her to go on TV ? How long ago was she pregnant ? X

I caved in and brought a Doppler .. I thought what hell, even if this pregnancy doesn't last I intend on trying again so it's not like its a waste of money and I may even find a heart beat when it arrives which may put my kind at rest x

 

[girlinyork]

Her youngest is two. She was an oopsie because after her first HG pregnancy she said never again. Needless to say her dh got the snip.

I feel a bit like Kate stole my thunder. Like my friends will be more interested in her pregnancy than mine :/

 

[bethneebabe]

Lady Kara--I might cave and get a doppler too in a few weeks. Let us know how yours works out!

I know what you mean about stealing thunder GIL. Even not being in the UK the media is growing crazy. I'm glad I just have the first trimester to go through with close friends and family (and you ladies!) and not have to worry about all of the pressure she is under! I was wondering who our "celebrity" pregnant sisters would be. Never know who will announce soon. On a side note, I am hoping that right now it distracts people from my random runs to the bathroom at work I am very lucky that my boss doesn't seem very observant about such things.

I did end up telling my one friend at work because I was close to tears before a meeting today. She was so supportive when I had my MC this summer so I know she's a good friend.

 

[girlinyork]

Love the new ticker Beth

 

[bethneebabe]

Thank GIL. I was waiting until after this appointment. I am taking this wonderful news as a sign that I should enjoy my pregnancy and be happy.

 

[girlinyork]

I've started enjoying my pregnancy last night my belly was so distended I put maternity clothes on and they fit! It was mental. I dread to think how massive I will end up by the end of all this lol. Hopefully my bloat will fill with baby and theb grow at a reasonable rate

 

[ladykara]

Beth- glad you found someone you can trust at work, makes a huge difference x

I kept shouting at the TV news report " in pregnant too !!!" Everyone is talking about it which makes it really hard as I want to tell people !!

I have been told my scan is tomorrow at 10.30, I feel a bit more positive but I'm still intending on taking a over night bag, I got left in hospital for two days and I wasn't prepared. If I get told bad news I don't think I'll cope this time round, I was prepared last time but this time I feel ok so will be a huge shock, I try not to get my hopes up...I think the sickness gives me hope x

 

[monro84]

LvN--How's the MS today?

Lady--When do you get the dopplar? What kind did you get? GL with your scan tomorrow I am sure everything will be normal and your baby will have a strong HB.

bethnee--Yay!! Thats great news. I am hoping for the same report next monday. Also another well known celeb is suppose to be 9 wks is Jessica Simpson again!!


AFM-today (6 wks 4 days) is the same day the baby passed last time I made it this far. Last time I heard the HB at 6 wks 1 day. However last time I lost my symptoms the same day the baby passed. I woke up my boobs were not as sore and I had an appitite back and I knew something was wrong. Today I woke up boobs still sore maybe not as sore as yestarday but still very sore. Almost thew up burshing my teeth. Still have a nausas feeling to like something is touching the back of my throat. And still tired. I really feel the baby is still ok but I am still going to be scared till I go back next monday and there is a strong HB.

 

[ladykara]

Monro I'm glad your having symptoms today still, great feeling reaching those milestones which someone who hasn't lost a baby before wouldn't understand. Mine was 9 weeks and 8 weeks... I'm 10 tomorrow so as long as bean is ok tomorrow I would have reached both mine.

I was going to rent a hi bebe bt200 as some of the girls on the fb group got a heart beat at 8 weeks and its LCD screen tells you the heart beat.. Which makes it easier.. Renting is £10 a month but you have to post back recorded, I found the exact same one to buy for £30, I thought its a better deal as I would use it through out pregnancy, I may even keep it for when friends are pregnant, it's coming tomorrow, hopefully before my scan because if I can't find a heart beat I won't have to spend days worrying.. X

 

[flapjack10]

Ahhhh I'm so bad at keeping up! It's this bloody tiredness - I can't cope! All good though. Had a scan on Monday and all was perfect. Scan pic on my journal if you so wish to see it.

Blimmin Kate Middleton stealing our thunder!
