Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

Lol @ nookie.

My nipples are bigger and the areolas (spelling) are getting larger too.

Both scans i recently had were early with my fertility specialist. Cost $160AUD.
$100 is for dr fees. $60 for vaginal scan. Expensive but its worth it for piece of mind.
Plus its by appt. I hated getting an ultrasound (drinking & holding all that water).

No nookie here either! After 12 weeks! I've had the strangest dreams involving DTD! I think I'm badly in need of it!

Xxx

 

[Lumen000]

me too flapjack I think my hormones are going crazy...I tried to look it up but what does DTD mean?

 

[monro84]

Hey Monro, No I haven't tried it yet as it only came in the post today so going to have a go tonight....just really hope I find it! I will keep you posted on my progress though . When is your next us due? I wasn't going to buy a doppler but couldn't help myself!

I got another next Thrus (8 wks 5 days) then not sure when I willl have one again hopeing around 13 or 14 so I can get some gender guesses

Merri is due on my wedding day

Wow this thread moves fast! Had 5 pages to catch up on. Scorpio that is such great news about your appointment! Excellent HB!

As for the boob question mine are like monsters haha. They look like a road map with all the blue veins and my areoles have defiantly grown and darkened. They are massive but I don't mind any of these things one bit. All worth it for a healthy little baby.

Have any of you had RLP yet? I have had it twice. The first time it shocked me because I wasn't 100% sure what it was. Such a weird weird feeling! Most woman report not getting until 2nd tri but everyone is different I guess.

 

[girlinyork]

I started getting it really early. The gp said it's because I'm hypermobile I'm more prone to stretching and such

Rant Alert, hospital cancelled my Xmas eve appointment for after Xmas, I may be over 14 weeks or spot on which is too late for the screening... I'm fuming I can't get hold of anyone at the hospital and we are now thinking of having to pay to go private. I really don't want to miss my window, these tests are really important to me and its not because of the extra scan.... I need to know everything is ok... I know some are asking for the screening just to get a extra scan, which is fine but when it means I can't get a earlier appointment its a bit of a pain !! X

 

[girlinyork]

Kara,what a nightmare. Kick up hell. Maybe call PALS?

 

[ladykara]

I'm going to try and get hold of them tomorrow failing that il drive up there Friday.. .. Just so angry... Failing that I will have to try PAL thanks Hun x

 

[mackjess]

OK what is RLP?

DTD is doing the deed.

 

[srrhc]

Ladykara I am so sorry for this Hun. How frustrating! Hope that it can be resolved.

RLP is round ligament pains. It typically occurs on the right side but can appear on the left. It feels like some popped a rubber band on your inside. Mine have only lasted for about 5-7 secs. It can happen if you turn over in the bed too aburtly or stand up to fast or have sudden movements. There are some other causes too. From what I have read it is from the stretching and it causes things in there to get real tender. I am still new at trying to understand it so I am no expert but if you get it you will KNOW for sure. It is a very distinct feeling.

I DTD like once or twice since the BFP. I don't want to DTD but I guess guys have needs.

I already told DH that I was only using him for his swimmers

I don't need them anymore LOL.

 

[Lumen000]

lady kara that is shocking...surely this cannot be allowed...

srr....i have had the particularly when i sneeze when lying down...

 

[amjon]

I went to the regular OB today and she decided to go get the U/S instead of trying to find both heartbeats with the Doppler, so I got to see the twins today. We still have our MFM with level 2 U/S on Friday, so we'll have really clear pictures then. I kind of get spoiled with these level 2s.

 

[srrhc]

Lumen yes the sneezing can bring it on too!

 

[srrhc]

Amjon twins! Lovely!

 

[JFG]

Oh no Kara..hopefully you can get in earlier than after xmas!!

I used my doppler last night and think i heard babies heartbeat there was a lower slower beat and whoosing which i assume was me or placenta and then a fast beat which i'm assuming was baby bpm ranged from 157-175?...it was very low and i had to press quite hard to get it so i'm a bit sore today! It's a shame thought because i tried again later on the night for DH and couldn't find it again i'm going to leave it a few days/a week and try again as not keen on idea of using it too much just in case it caused baby distress!

 

[ladykara]

They have made it for the 27th which makes me 13+6 which is the cut off time, so cutting it fine... The thing that's peed me off is I know friends who only asked for the tests to get a extra scan and theirs is before me.. I kind of want to ask to swap as they are not as far along, they even said they don't want the tests just a excuse to see the baby... The lady on the phone says a lot of women go for the scan and then refuse bloods... It's so frustrating x

 

[ladykara]

Jpg- that's great news !!! I couldn't get it last night so hoping I will today x
