Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[monro84]

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

Thats the one I want but the Hi Bebe Pro 3mhz can detect 8 to 10 wks. its 115 + 18 for shipping so 133. Thats a good idea using it right before the scan is says it can take 7 to 10 days to get here so I might order it right after my scan (if it goes good) on monday because by the time I get it I will be 8 or 8 1/2 wks.

Something bad happened. I took a train from York to Basingstoke and informed them well in advance I needed help alighting with luggage as I'm high risk pregnant. Anyway, at Basingstoke no one was there to help me. I hung out the door to see if I could summon him and the train manager was hanging out the carriage at the other end waving at me to get on the train and I shouted that I was waiting for assistance but he closed the doors! I got crushed in them and screamed so he released them and then closes them and crushes me again!!! At this point I am crying and shaking and he comes up and has a go at me. I emphatically point out that I was assured by the train manager on the shift before him that I'd have help getting off by a station member of staff and I think he realised then that I wasn't some anti social brat holding things up. Long story short, I'm terrified I hurt the baby and I'm suing.

OMG you poor thing. so sorry that treated you so horribly. I am sure the baby is fine though I have heard that the baby is still so tiny that it has alot of cushion and can absorbe a pretty good blow straight to the stomach. Could you get an appt to put your mind to ease.

monro- would it be worth you looking into hiring one ? x

???hiring??? or do you mean renting.

 

[Scorpio23]

OMG I'm so sorry that happened to u xox

 

[girlinyork]

I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow to be safe. I might get the Doppler out tonight for peace of mind. I ache all over from being crushed. I have fibromyalgia so pregnancy aside, getting crushed is not a good thing

 

[ladykara]

Omg how scary ! So glad your taking it further !!! Get yourself checked out, one of the girls on another group got caught in a bank security door, she was sent for a scan and all was fine but at least it will put your mind at rest. X

Monro- hiring and renting it's the same thing... Are you from the states ? X

Hi much to catch up on!! sorry, I got to pick up my Kiddos from the week long grandma adventure!!(our family lives 4 1/2 hours away!) she knew how sick I was so offered to enjoy them for a week! Its such a relief to see those cute faces I will never understand mothers who dont want to spend time with thier children, or dump them everyweekend to go out and act like they are still in high school! there is nothing in the world I would rather be doing than being mommy which has made me realize, I really do want to stay home for the next year!! my kids are getting older one will be 5 saturday, the other 3 in Feb.) and I dont want to miss a thing!!!
Anywho, lol (sorry I just cant believe how much I missed them after 6 days!!!)
Beth-so happy to hear about the great scan!

Im am still horribly sick.. the Phenergan is helping in the sense when I take it, I pass out lol. I feel so chunky!!! any one else?? im 5'4 and normally 130 and im already at 138! although im not going to complain my usual C cups have transformed to D's!! So im going to offically be a stay at home mom for now, and put nursing to the side no regrets at all! Ok sorry for my rambling hope everyones bumps are doing well!

 

[Lumen000]

so sorry to hear about that GIY i hope that guy gets a roasting! All will be ok regarding the wee one take care xxx

 

[bethneebabe]

Wow! It looks like everyone had a very busy couple of days.

GIY so sorry to hear about you getting crushed! I'm sure everything will be great at your appointment tomorrow.

LadyKara--I'm sure your scan tomorrow will be great! Please let us know how it goes I'll be keeping a good thought for you and your little one.

FlapJack--Congrats on your great scan! Sorry to hear about how tired you've been. Mine hit me like a ton of bricks today.

LvN--So glad to hear you get to see your kiddos again! I'm sorry to hear your MS is still bothering you but I'm glad to hear that you've been able to put your work on hold for a while. It sounds like the side effects from the Phenergan would make it much easier to manage at home.

Today was an interesting day for me. My MS came back full force--at work. I have been losing weight because of the MS and I am down 5 pounds I am trying to eat higher protein/higher calorie food so I tried eating some sharp cheddar cheese and crackers before lunch and I got really really sick. I'm surprised I made it to the bathroom. It was ugly. Apparently the LO does not like cheddar cheese. I still made myself eat a bit of lunch and was able to hold down dinner too but I'm very very tired.

Oh dear. I just spoke with my bank manager as I just sold my house (yay). I asked her how much we can loan for the next house as we're in the process of looking. She said the price I was looking at was fine as long as I'm not pregnant as the bank doesn't accept maternity leave pay. They need both our full time salaries.

When she asked if I was pregnant I just paused and said maybe...

 

[bethneebabe]

Oh no Scorpio!!! That's terrible!! I know it's not that uncommon for people who are expecting a baby to need to buy a new house. We're also looking at buying a house and I think I would throw a fit of someone to me that. I hope it works out for you!!

 

[flapjack10]

GIY - That's awful! You'd think they'd know better after what happened to that girl https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-20339630. Awful treatment, definitely complain, but I am sure bean is all nice and snug in there.

Scorpio - Eeek I hoped to buy a house too!

 

[ladykara]

Scan went really well, no partial mole , baby was moving around all over the place, just a amazing thing to see, as soon as she said she can see a heart beat I burst into tears !! And she dated me 10+5 which make me June 30th but until dating scan is here I won't know exactly... Have a booking in with the MW tomorrow as I had to have a emergency appointment so I don't miss my NT scan window... Placenta is growing so hoping this sickness will soon go !! Very happy during scan postman came with my Doppler so I missed it and will have to get it tomorrow morning now... Wil try to post picture tonight x

 

[monro84]

So last night had cramping but not bad. I woke up this morning and my boobs were hardly sore still felt kind nausas so I freaked out and am not at my ob hopfully he will give me an US and there will be a nice strong HB

 

[mackjess]

Yay Kara!

GIY - hun, how are you feeling today? Did you know that one of the American volleyball players was 5 weeks pregnant during the London Olympics. They made it all the way to gold medals, meanwhile she was body slamming in to the sand 150+ times a day. She is now about 15 weeks and doing just fine. I don't know why, but that made me feel a lot better after I found out I was preggers. To know how snuggled in and safe the bean was when it was so tiny. I'm sure you are fine.

Hi to everyone else, I can only remember about 2 things! lol

My scan is today. For real, not like last time when I thought it was but was just a regular appt. OMG. I get to leave work in 3.5 hours for it. I'm so excited!!

 

[monro84]

I am feeling so much better. I freaked out because the same thing happened last time with my MMC and I had lost symptoms a few days after hearing the heart beat. I did hear the HB this time though it was up to 125 and the baby was growing perfectly.

I am a little confuesed b/c the US tech did the measurment on the baby and it said 6 wks 6 days but the ultrasound pic I got says on it 6 wks 4 days but by ovulation I am 6 wks 5 days.

So this is the fartherst I have been so far with a heart beat.

Yeah on selling the house. But OMG that is crazy. In the States there are rules and that is one of the main ones do not ask about pregnancy because the back or whoever your getting the loan on can be held on grounds of discrimination.
