Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[mackjess]

Scorpio - Glad everything went well with the scan. And what a rude woman!! What good did anything she say do you? You weren't able to get a scan, you were there later to get it, end of story. Urgh.

Monroe - I've had the same sinus/throat gunk myself. I find constantly eating lemon drops helps.

GIY - I haven't had any anniversary dates, but I know it will be rough. I struggle at every scan/appt. The last time at 10 weeks when I got to hear the heartbeat I was beyond happy, but I couldn't help think about how I should be finding out the gender that week, not just getting to hear the HB. It just means we loved our little angels and I think it's good to still miss them.

Hi to all the other ladies. I've been reading threads but haven't replied much since I was out of town. I didn't have the best reception on my phone so posting was a pain. But I'm back from a wonderful visit with my sis and her kiddos. Hope everyone had a great Xmas and New Years.

Glad the scan went well scorpio

GIY I know where you're coming from... Skittles due date is on the 22nd but I think the worst will be her loss date which will be bitter sweet I think as that was on the 3rd of July and I'm due the 10th... I'm not sure how I'm gonna cope with either if I'm honest.... anyway enough about me, sending huge hugs your way xx

GIY my first due date was 12.12.12 I layed around all day, and sobbed the whole day. My next should.of been due is march 10th my honeys birthday, I'm sure it will be the same I should be.feeling baby moved by then, so I think that will help.

amjon--Are you on it for low progestrerone or just as a precaution? I was not on it for low progesterone it was just a precaution to prevent my body from rejecting my DH's DNA/Tissue (that's what the RE said). But it has not been proved that was the case anyways. My OB said I could get off of it at 12 wks and he would give me those 2 wks for piece of mind. Is it bad to stop cold turkey??

LadyK--I know I noticed that a little bit ago. I am now waiting for Due in Oct 2013 lol. But I think there is a couple more weeks left for that.

GIY-- I am sorry I went threw it last yr in Jan. or Feb when I shold have known what the triplets/twins would have been I just started crying in my DH's truck when he was checking clients fields. My loss date for my BO is Feb it was superbowl weekend I should have a almost 2 1/2 yr old right now.

Scoripo--Boo on bitchy staff, mw's, and nurses. But yay you got to hear and see the LO.

Jess--I was eating lemon drops at fist like they were going out of style. I finally weined my self off of them b/c I was thinking that even though they helped keep the nausa away the excess air and slava I was swallowing was making the acid reflux/gas worse. But since u mentioned it I started back on them.

AFM--Sinus/drainage better today. Last night I got sick after an hr or so of eating celery and peanut butter but I don't really thing that was it. First time I got sick at night. However I was able to eat a good bit afterward then went and laid down to digest. I weighted myself last night and I have a scale that tells body fat and water %. Usually my water precent is between 51 and 56 but last night it was 45% . I guess I need to drink more water to keep from getting dehydrated but I am not a real fan of water right now.

They never tested my levels, but I do think it was low at first because I got a big temp drop right before AF was due and started right away. The FS planned on putting me on it anyway as he does it just as a precaution for all recurrent MC patients. I think it is dangerous to stop cold turkey because the MFM I go to does everything by proven studies and gave me the plan to wean it. (It was kind of what I was thinking of anyway.) I don't think it really matters the reason you were put on it. I think it's more of a big, sudden drop could cause an issue.

 

[mackjess]

Not sure since your prog wasn't low Monro. I have to take it til 13 weeks because mine dropped, and if I'm not making it the baby will start making it at 13 weeks, so she told me to stop taking it at the end of 12 weeks.

She didn't tell me to wean off, but I'll have enough to take 1 a day rather than 2 a day for a few days into week 13. I want to do that just so going cold turkey doesn't make me feel bad, which I don't know that it will.

Since you weren't taking it for low progesterone I would think that you'd feel some of the symptoms from it dropping if it got too low. I'm sure you could call and talk to you OB or nurse if you had questions though since it seems we are taking it for different reasons.

 

[LVnMommy]

Im going to ask my ob at my appointment Tuesday if I can stop taking it. I think I will do a pill a day at first instead of two then one every other day just for peace of mind! The blood pressure med is he worst!! I'm also going to ask if I can go once a day on that

 

[srrhc]

I love coming on here and seeing all the support you ladies offer to each other. It is real nice!

 

[mackjess]

It is a good one srrhc.

Has anyone started thinking about planning anything yet? I refused to, but hearing the HB last week at 10 weeks must have reassured me. I went and bought some after Xmas clearance maternity clothes, we went over the budget to plan for daycare, looked at strollers/carseats, looked at baby bedding and we've discussed names.

I CAN NOT WAIT to find out the gender the end of this month (if I don't have a shy baby), I'm obsessed with baby bedding.

And we tentatively have some baby names picked out. Seamus Patrick for a boy and Maebh Ann (or spelled Maeve) for a girl. The DH likes the boy name, and helped pick it. He had no part of the girl name or looking at girl bedding because he said I HAD to have a boy. LOL

 

[srrhc]

Mackjess your DH sounds like mine. He says he know 100% that it is a boy haha!

DH and I have had names picked out for over a year haha!
Don't feel bad for talking about baby things. It is healthy for you to talk and think about positive things so I say keep it up!

 

[LVnMommy]

We have picked out a few names I'm confident its a boy! I knew with my other two! My dh swears its a girl. (He also swore my son was a girl and my girl was a boy) silly. We named our kids with this same initials MAV so im thinking Maxiis Alexander or Maddix. And just in case Macie for girl but I wont need that name. It feels so arrange picking out baby gear and names when I don't look pregnant and haven't had a US since 9 weeks. I need to get a doppler asap!

 

[mackjess]

It's fun tho! Cute names. We are trying to use the same initials for his name if it's a boy (SPL) and my name if it's a girl (JAL) but I'm not finding a J name I like. And he's no help since it's for a girl. LOL

 

[srrhc]

Okay silly question but sometimes I worry I am too big for my weeks. I love my bump! But have any of you felt that way? Like I am wondering if I am further along than what we think or if maybe I am growing too fast. I know this is silly and maybe it is just me because I am use to a smaller body. Just wanted to get that out there and see if any of you have felt that way. Either way I am proud of my belly and love it so much haha!

 

[mackjess]

I seemed to get a little bit of a pooch really soon, it's like my ab muscles just got super relaxed and quit holding up as much. It's just lately getting harder, like it's a true baby bump.

 

[BeautifulD]

Srrhc,

I too look massive, I'm out of normal clothes and into maternity already

Although I'm usually a UK size 14 I generally have a flat stomach (curvy hips). That's gone right out the window haha... I don't mind though.... I love it!

With my first daughter I was much bigger than this, people thought I was full term at 12 weeks I was the size of a house!

 

[BeautifulD]

My dh is also sure we're having a boy! I disagree 1000% I will be very very shocked if this lo comes out with a winky

We're staying team dh doesn't want to know

 

[Scorpio23]

Hey ladies im eager to know which symptoms u have that make u believe ur having either a boy or girl???

 

[BeautifulD]

For me it's not symptoms.... just a gut feeling

 

[Dollybird]

I'm sure I'm having a boy. Dunno why it's just a feeling. Trying not to let myself think about it too much though incase I'm wrong.
Got my scan this Thursday.. So nervous. My ms seems to have cleared up completely apart from nausea on and off and it's worrying me a bit.. Terrified ill go for my scan and something will be wrong xxx

 

[srrhc]

I too just have a guy feeling but I have also noticed hair is somewhatore abundant in certain places and darker. Also I seem to have sprouted some new hair on some unwanted places. So I was researching of course. They say it should all disappear after baby.

My ms disappeared for awhile too and then the day I hit 12 weeks it returned and I have had it everyday. Sometimes bad. I know it can be hard but try to enjoy the days you feel better because more than likely it will return at some point for a little while. Some woman start to feel great around 12 weeks and it never returns. You may be one of those woman. can't wait to hear all the good things from your scan dollybird!
