Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[girlinyork]

Ahaha I did feel a bit cruel but the mw said to do it if baby is unusually quiet. She's not one for long periods of quiet though so hopefully this is a one off

Ahh giy that's so sweet

Can I ask a quick question about my most recent scan (avatar pic)...do you think the blur line infront of his eyes and forehead is infact part of his face? Only I keep looking at his forehead and thinking it looks very flat and long? :-/ I feel AWFUL writing this! It may just be the way the picture was taken if he moved...just trying to work out if his little forehead from his nose IS the flat white (long) line, or its more rounded and that's what the blur line is?

I know all that matters is he's healthy and I pray to God he remains that way-but mums are allowed to over analyse at times

 

[girlinyork]

I think it might be the way he is moving because I think I see a fleshier rounded bit to it. Another user had a scan pic a lot like that and the baby was born with a run of the mill forehead

 

[A1983]

Yes it's that rounder bit that im trying to work if its part of his face or just a blur?!

 

[girlinyork]

I think the rounder bit is part of his face

 

[flapjack10]

Yeah I think it is just a blur of movement and is part of his face!

Well I have my nhs 20 week scan in 2 weeks so ill post a pic then-poor little mite, he's giving me a few good kicks-think I deserve them ;-)

Kelly congrats on your scan and being team pink!!
A1983 congrats on feeling bubs move its such a lovely feeling. Mines is becoming a real little wriggler and I just love it.. Sometimes it tickles! Xxx

 

[mackjess]

All right, tonight I'm going to lay in bed with my hands on my tummy and see if I can feel him move. So far I haven't, but like I sad I'm kinda gassy and gurgly thanks to the anti-biotics already messing with my already sensitive digestive tract, so I think sometimes it may have happened and I've missed it. Only about 4 days of the drugs left so hopefully I can feel something then.

I know he's a wriggler because he will move and be hard to find on doppler, then be there loud and clear, than be gone.

Congrats on the team pink!

Speaking of trumps, mine have also gotten worse with pregnancy and now with anti-biotics. The other day I thought I was needing the bathroom *immediately* for a BM and RAN down the hall clutching my stomach thinking OMG I'm not going to make it. Well it was a false alarm, because I sat there for a minute and it was nothing but gas. LOL, LOUD gas that sounded like foghorns and echoed because of all the tile. So I'm in there sounding like a tugboat every few seconds vibrating the walls, and laughing so hard I'm crying. DH was in the office almost across the hall, and finally knocked on the door to find out why I was moaning and laughing. When I got out and finished my cry-laughing I had to tell him that wasn't moaning, it was me tooting. SO EMBARRASSED.

Ha ha ha Mackjess that's brilliant! My oh is well used to my 'trumpets' You will be able to distinguish once you've felt a dew kicks...I remember telling oh I THINK ive felt him...1 more day of feeling 'kicks' and I knew it was baby and nothing else! Helps to have a feel when you're not having a windy moment though!

Sore throat and cold today just rest, gargling salt water (yum) and steamers?

 

[girlinyork]

Ahahaha Jess that story is brilliant

 

[flapjack10]

Happy 21 weeks FJ!

 

[Dollybird]

Loving the trumping stories ladies.. They've been cracking me up xxx

 

[Dollybird]

Tmi but anyone else had/got really itchy bbs/nipples? Mine are terrible today I can't bare it! Xxx

 

[girlinyork]

Yes! Put shea butter or coco butter on the skin and nipple cream on your nipple. It works wonders

 

[A1983]

Yeah I get the odd day of itching-means growth and preparation for milk I presume

I've just posted this, was wondering if you ladies experience this?

Hi, I've been experiencing this stretching/tightening sensation for about a week and when I do I've assumed its baby pushing upwards-like his bum sticking out-as I then can see and feel a hard area where the sensation is which stays for about 30 seconds then bump and sensation goes back down. I can only describe it as a big bubble of gas growing in your bowel before it passes-but much bigger!!

Anyway now im wondering if it is actually baby or bh? Never had bh before so don't know...the reason im not sure is because as im lying here its happened 5 times in a row and when I feel with my hands its like the left and right side of my uterus ball up-hard round part each side?!

Any ideas or similar experiences ladies?

 

[flapjack10]

Ooooh my boobs are so itchy - and impossible to scratch especially when in public!

A1983- I think I may have had what you describe, but I have no idea what it is! I thought BH were only felt towards the end of the pregnancy, but don't quote me on this. I'm guessing it's baby/uterus xxx

 

[A1983]

I had a read and they sound exactly like BH! Apparently they are present from the start but we don't feel them that early...and are perfectly normal (not painful at all).. I had about 4/5 though and that may be a lot so will check with mw.

My headaches are terrible atm (bp ok)...throbbing and permanently painful

 

[flapjack10]

Always best to check!

Poor you - you're going through the wars at the moment, bit like I was at 19-20 weeks! My problem is I get headaches from lack of hydration, but I can't seem to take much fluid in. I've just gone off drinking anything!
