Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[BeautifulD]

That is super cute mackjess

How are we all ladies? are we all pretty much busting into the second trimester now?

Afm... I'm good. I was really rough over the weekend with headaches and some rogue rash! but I'm ok now. 16 weeks I'm supposed to come off my progesterone and I'm slightly nervous about stopping cold turkey so this week I've only been doing it every other day. Funnily enough my headaches seem to have lessened. Not sure if it's coincidence or what!

I hope you're all good and those pregnancy hormones aren't beating you up too much

As mackjess that's lovely!!! Hope today all goes well- let us know how u get on!
Kelly congrats on your scan.
Flapjack 148 sounds fab! I've not managed to ind my LO on my Doppler yet, but I got an angelsounds one and I don't think they're very good. Might invest in a new one.
Meristems I've not had any belly button pain in particular bit loads of general aches and pains!
Beautiful I've been getting headaches too for no reason. I think they can be related to progesterone as headaches can be a sign of high progesterone I'm sure. Your bubs should be fine web u stop the supps as your placenta should be making all the progesterone by now so try not to worry, but I think cutting down gradually is always wiser than going cold turkey.
Afm I'm on nightshifts just now- wat a struggle! Little bump doesn't like nightshifts at all! Someone suggested nibbling digestives to keep nausea at bay so gonna try that tonight. Had a pretty crampy night last night and lots of rlp (hubby kept making me laugh) but apparently (after google reading) this is normal week 13 as the uterus will be moving up out of the pelvis and into the abdominal cavity. Lots of growth this week.. How exciting! Xxx

 

[Dollybird]

Nope beautiful scrap that! Headaches are a sign of high estrogen which is common from week 12 onwards due to hormonal changes (placenta taking over me thinks) something like tht anyways! Xxx

 

[flapjack10]

Flap--well at the 20 wk scan I should know lol but I will let yall guess anyways. Yay!! congrats on 16 wks when will you have a next scan and find out?

Thaaaanks! My scan is on 15th Feb - can't wait!

Mackjess - So cute!

Hope everyone is feeling better! I've had headaches too.

Headache Club!

Jess- what a fab idea !! Will you pst the results people guessed ??? Can't wait !!! Xx

Interesting about the headaches, after my 3 days headache marathon I was dreading having more... I remember walking around work with this head strips on, many times I went home with them still attached to my head. !!!

I'm 17 weeks tomorrow, still no major kicks but I do feel slight movements, I felt the first kick from Paige by now.....xx

Heyy Ladies! I figured I'd better join you I miscarried my little Nova in July and npw I'm due July 24! My first daughter's birthday is July 26 I'm a triple threat to the month of July apparently lol!

:Hi ladies just checking in on you all, and i have a question..... have any of you experienced belly button pain? I have this random pulling feeling inside mine, not always but especially late in day. My hips hurt too Monro, the back of them near bottom

I have felt lots of stretching and pulling. Especially this week. Much be growing. Also my back has been hurting more too. I have back pain prior to pregnancy so I expected it to get worse. Guess that time has come. I am going to try some stretches out soon and see if I get any relief How are you sleeping at night. Sometimes that can play a role in lower back and hip pain.

Well tomorrow I should get the results from my screening for downs and the gender results. I hope so anyway since I have the gender reveal party planned for Sunday.

I made this board for people to vote on, and in the process of cutting out shamrocks to put in vases.

That is adorable! I am having my gender reveal party next Saturday. Your board is giving me an idea too!

Heyy Ladies! I figured I'd better join you I miscarried my little Nova in July and npw I'm due July 24! My first daughter's birthday is July 26 I'm a triple threat to the month of July apparently lol!

Congrats! July is going to be a great month for us all...and June too

 

[ColorMeFamous]

Yeah! I'm so excited! I start my prenatal appointments in one week! Seems a little late to me but still absolutely ecstatic!

 

[A1983]

Hi CMF! I had a blighted o last July needing an op...and this gorgeous lo is due July also so I see it as quite symbolic and healing x

As for stretching I find 2 things: I get a twingey pull for a couple of seconds always around the same place every 7-10 days that lasts for a few hours...growing?! And sometimes when im walking or standing for not even that long I feel very heavy and pinchy and it goes on sitting back down!

Dolly I've got the sonoline b doppler with the digital display and only used it on Tuesday for the first time-ive put a thread up about distinguishing between the placenta and the babys heartbeat but now ive got it sussed! If your placenta is anterior it can make finding hb difficult, plus I only try with a half-full bladder. Hope this helps x

 

[mackjess]

Well no results yet today, but my appointment was so late in the afternoon last Thursday that when they said it took a week for results I was hoping for them today but really thinking I wouldn't get them till Friday. I hope so or I'll have to postpone the party!

hi cmf! I remember when you got your bfp, good to see you again.

dolly, I hope you feel better tonight. poor dear!

bd, I stopped prog this week too. I took one a day vs two a day for 3 days. I feel a bit better energy wise and headaches aren't quite as constant. They never got bad, just a dull ache all day. sleeping a bit better, but still having the crazy dreams. I've read it can take up to 10 days for it to clear out of your blood so I'm hoping to feel better next week. I've literally been a zombie for two months so keepingup with work and life has not been going so well.

ladyk, I can't wait to feel my first fflutter!

 

[BeautifulD]

I hear ya! I've only been on one pessary 400mg a day and didn't think it effected me that much until the past few weeks. I'm wondering if maybe now the placenta has taken over the pessary on top is progesterone over drive!? meh who knows

Work and generally staying awake has been an issue lol. There have been times where I could easily fall asleep standing up, total health and safety hazard! Totally worth every second though

 

[mackjess]

Ugh, now they are having a power issue at work where the main overhead lights shut off to conserve. PCs and small lights at our desks still work, but it's really dark. I'm outta here before I faceplant into my keyboard!!! Praying for good sleep and a productive Friday! TG my boss has been off this week. =/

Have a great night/morning ladies!

 

[ColorMeFamous]

Oh wow! You guys have seen your dr's already?? I couldn't even make the appointment until I was 12 weeks along! I have my first one at 14 weeks 1 day! I thought thay was weird but it's a small town (60 000 people) and one maternity clinic so I guess it makes sense...

Are you ladies on progesterone because of reoccurring miscarriages? Sorry, I don't know much about that!

I've seen the doctor MANY, MANY times. I went first before 4 weeks, then 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and again next week at 16. That's late to first see them. I was put on Progesterone because of 2 MC in a row (after my stillborn), but stopped it around 14 weeks.

 

[girlinyork]

Sorry if I've missed anything. I'll catch up tomorrow if I keep my eyes open. I've been hit with dreadful fatigue (worse than what I had in first tri) and my BP is so low I keep fainting. Seen the doctor for the fainting and a psych for the fatigue because it's related to my cousin dying. I'll update soon x

 

[ColorMeFamous]

Yeah I figured they would see me sooner because of my miscarriage but apparently not.

Oh wow! That's really scary! Hopefully they figure it out! Good luck!

I had back pain too before pregnancy, im a gardener i think it all the digging, i get sacrum issues. This is both sides and deep in joints, i really hope i dont get rlp. Let me know what excercises work if any, im thinking swimming will help me. Sleeping has always been painful, i just changed our mattress to firm one hoping that helps, also ive taken to putting pillow between knees while i sleep.
