Cautiously Pregnant After A Loss. PMA, But Not Taking It For Granted.

[too_scared]

Thanks Lozdi That makes me feel better. I'm sorry you have pain in the mornings. I guess it is just something we have to be used to when we want a baby. It is worth it for, though!

I am pretty sure I will end up with the same comments! Haha! I think we are going to have to let work know soon after it starts because I am nervous about having to move things around and chicken pox! I just found out that my rubella protection is low so I really should be having another vaccine but can't get it now. So, I have to stay far away from children with rashes and fevers. I will be 13 weeks the Sunday before school starts so it should be ok. (I hope!)

TS I agree with Loz! My symptoms started to fade near the 10 week point and I mentioned it to the mw when IO had my scan and she said (what I knew too) that it is quite normal as the placenta takes over. I had loads of bloat too(and constipation which is back -boo) and bought belly bands too. Most of my tops still covered but I felt more reassured that my pants weren't going to fall down!

I lived in jersey dresses and leggins, then graduated to maxi dresses when it started heating up. Luckily didn't have to buy any maternity stuff because my wardrobe is mostly bump friendly stuff anyway, I love my floaty dresses!

 

[too_scared]

I wear a lot of shirts that are bump friendly too. But, I usually wear those shirts with skinny jeans. Haha! Even my work pants are skinny cords. I live in skinny pants of some sort and my boots. I also wear floaty dresses and leggings and boots. Always boots. Haha!

Thanks pink. I know in my head that it is normal for me to be feeling better, but it is still so stressful.

MrsM - lovely scan pic!! I'm so happy that you now feel like you can properly enjoy the pregnancy! I can't wait to have that feeling!

Kelly - I've have hardly any proper morning sickness.... I have had this week gastro and now I've got a horrible head cold. So different from my other pregnancies, but I really am starting to believe that symptoms in every pregnancy is different. I guess I'll find out on Monday if any of it means anything!

TS - If crazy paranoia is a symptom I'm having twins lol

 

[too_scared]

Haha! Ginny, I guess we are both having multiples!

 

[Lozdi]

People keep asking me if I am sure I'm not having twins! My default reply is 'not unless one is invisible, I have had 5 scans!'

I need to get a bump pic up, I am huge.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I'd love to see it Loz! Btw, I meant to say I think I felt your good vibes yesterday. As soon as I got in the scan room and she turned down the lights and mark held my hand I felt instantly calm.

Loz, aw chick it starts to become a bit of a waiting game now doesn’t it, I think id be happy with 39 weeks as long as s/he waits for Ben to get back from the stag night he is on at that weekend!!!

MrsMig, I am sooooo pleased everything went well and you are still team then!! Your picture is so cute!!

Mindy, I wouldn’t worry about wearing these things early, you have to be comfy!! Why cant you have pizza chick??

Yup im back in dresses, trousers just aren’t comfy any more and the weather is HOT!!

Yay, need bump pics from all those with bumps please!!! This is mine from last week! xxx

 

[too_scared]

What a perfect bump, Clobo! You look great

I can't eat pizza because I am intolerant to gluten. I know that there is a link between eating gluten (when gluten intolerant) and mc's but when I asked my dr he said that it was nothing to worry about. When I saw the specialist she said I have to stop eating gluten all together. I am looking forward to a giant piece of pizza in about 30 weeks time! I will deal with the bellyache. Haha!

Yes, please, Lozdi!! Please post a picture!

My symptoms are back again today. I slept for 10 hours and then didn't want to get up. Shawn is having garlic bread now and my aversion to that is back big time. I am feeling a little more relaxed today.

 

[Clobo]

Ah I see, well thats one thing you can look forward to then, mine is medium rare steak and runny eggs!!

Thanks, i feel like my belly sticks out sooooooooo far!!! Managed to paint my own toenails this avo though!!

[pinksmarties]

Fab bump pip clobo!!

ts- glad you are feeling a bit more relaxed today, I was wondering about the pizza too. Something to look forward to in a few months.

I will be having a mcflurrys and a glass of rose wine.

 

[too_scared]

Mmmmmmm, medium rare steak and McFlurry... not together though! Haha!!

Are you planning to post a bump picture, Pink?

I want to see all of your bumps!

 

[Lozdi]

AS usually, now that I really want to take a pic, I can't find the blooming camera. Will have a tidy up later and pretend I'm looking for a hairbrush- that usually does the trick!

Clo your bump is super neat! You can eat runny eggs by the way! As long as they have the lion mark they are totally safe.

 

[pinksmarties]

I kinda gave in last night and had 2 nearly solid fried eggs, can't beat a bit of runny yolk! Hmmm... might have some more tonight!!

I will post a bump pic. I never got round to doing it on Wednesday when I went to 25 weeks.

Hello ladies.

Mrsmigg I am getting a boy vibe from the scan pic too hun. So pleased all is well.

Kelly fade in symptoms is normal. I still get cramps too.

TS paranoia again all normal round here lol. I shold be having multiples too ginny lol.

Loz not good to hear your in pain. final countdown now.

Pink hi hun cannot wait to see your bump.

Clo you are one yummy mummy with a lovely bump. I so have bump envy. x

My wardrobe was not bump friendly as I live in jeans and t shirts so have had to buy ( mainly from e bay) My bump bands are still in use. Will try and find my bump pic from yesterday and upload it.

 

[too_scared]

Oooooh! Debzie! I am looking forward to seeing your bump too! I think I am getting bump envy too. Haha! I really can't wait to have a bump to show off.

 

[Lozdi]

Oh, I'm totally fine, its not a lot of pain, just for a few moments when I wake while my muscles adjust to needing to actually work, as opposed to being all nice and relaxed during sleep.

I'm quite upset right now, just checked my facebook and the first thing I see is someone I went to school with had put up a pic of her baby girl, who isn;t even 1 yet, with earings, captioned 'my baby girl's first piercing' Each to their own and all that, but it really disturbed me. 5 people had 'liked' it and as there is no 'strongly dislike' button I just commented 'I hope it didn't hurt her :-/'

Honestly if I was in charge of the country, piercing the ears of babies would be illegal. She isn't even old enough to want it done! It just baffles me :-/ I might take her off my friends list, because I can't stand how disturbed I am by her mutilating her baby

 

[Clobo]

OMG that is hideous, should NOT be allowed!

Thanks ladies, I love my bump and will be so sad to see it go when baby is born! You will all have your lovely bumps soon dont worry!!

Yes midwife told me runny eggs were ok but i was super careful in the first 12 weeks and its kind of stuck, although i have been eating peanuts and funny cheeses as long as they have been cooked properly! Im just wierd!!

[Lozdi]

I had a real dig at her too...but it went straight over her obviously empty head. She had posted something about feeling a little bad but it was 'ok becoz i just handed her to amy lol' and then 'she cried at first but was ok wen i gave her a milkyway' to that I replied:

'Like when they have to have vaccines then! Quick cry then all forgotten. Didn't you feel a bit bad when she cried? I always feel awful when I have to hold my kids for vaccines, I could imagine its worse when its something that isn't even necessary.'

Her response to that was some semi gibberish about she felt bad but just for a second, then some other person said 'she will thank you for it when she is older' and I felt so sad, because thats likely true, because this cute little girl is going to be raised to do exactly the same when she has a daughter of her own! My last response to the pic was simply 'Blimey' then I left it, because I could feel some serious lecture working its way forward and it would fall on ignorant ears.
