Hi girls!
Lilrojo, congrats on being a lime!! I was so glad when I became a lime. I hated being a prune so much and I had a horrible bleed that week, and just couldn't wait ot be something pretty and refreshing like a lime! I am so glad that this pregnancy is going smoothly for you!! Some of you ladies really deserve a smooth a pregnancy and I hope it continues through labor and delivery!
I am still spotting on and off but haven't bled for a week now...and keeping my fingers crossed. We are flying to Seattle, WA for a wedding on Friday and I am so worried I am going to start bleeding there and not know what to do or where to go. I need to get it out of my mind or I will bring it upon myself. ON the bright side, my swab for infections came back negative, so that it is good. Not sure why I have such thick discharge, but I kinda always have. Maybe I need to drink more water or something?
For non first timers, when will I feel the baby??? I am patiently waiting and nothing! I thoguht I may have felt a little something yesterday, but I have such horrible gas lately that I think it might be bubbles popping. I really want to start feeling things so I can stop using my home doppler to make sure everything is still there lol!
Hope everyone is well!
 
Hey ladies!!

How is everyone? I had an appt today. Nothing fun, just pap smear, blood draws, and breast exam....boring!! But I did get to hear the HB on the doppler (even though I secretly listen to it at home nearly everyday)!! Haha! Still good to know that I'm not imagining things!! I did get to make my next appt which will be when I get to find out gender, and it's Sept. 1st!! So excited!! Only 3 weeks away!!

Congrats Lilrojo on being a lime!! I'm a lemon, which confuses me b/c I thought limes and lemons were the same size?! I need to check this out next time I'm at the grocery store.

Tobaira, that is awesome about the moms of multiples sale!! I went shopping around today after my appt. trying to get ideas and prices of things. But I haven't bought the first thing yet!! It's all so overwhelming, I don't even know where to begin!

Stranjegirl, I'm sure you will have an uneventful trip! You deserve to have smooth sailing the rest of your pregnancy! Have a safe and fun trip!! I don't know about feeling the baby moving. My friend is very thin and tall and she didn't feel fetal movement til like 22 or so weeks with her first. She started feeling it around 16 weeks this time around. I think it's different for everyone. Hopefully, you'll be feeling him/her soon!!
 
we're definitely finding out the genders.. Fx'd for you stranjegirl that everything goes well in WA. I know nothing about when you first feel them kicking although my sonographer told me I wouldn't feel them until later because the placentas are in front and will act like a cushion so when they first start to kick it will absorb it and I won't feel it. I can't remember when she said I'd feel it though (I know I asked, just don't remember).
 
You do feel it sooner with the second.. i have heard.. and believe it cuz you know what your feeling.. I think you will prob feel something any day now.. :)

Is anyone else staying team yellow on here.. lol.. :)

start with a carseat.. stroller combo if you want.. haha.. seeing as you need that to bring baby home in.. :)
 
I'm staying team yellow! (Though in my own internal dialogue, I'm calling it team green, as I much prefer green to yellow!)
 
i dont exactly feel kicking, just a fuzzy feeling that makes me take notice......i had that with the triplets too and my placenta was in front, so i hope that means that my placenta is moving up!!!

im finding out this time!!! pink or blue....1st sept!
 
trix considering you're only a week ahead of me...you're finding out 3 weeks before!!! we're going to find out too, although i've been given grief on that (not family but almost everyone else!!!). we've been lent a naming book so been looking through it but half of them are a joke I swear...'chubby' 'black' cant think of anymore right now but they were ridiculous!

we've got a few we both like, but i seem to have a real problem with boys names!!!

anyone else got names lined up? x
 
well i wanted keira 4 a girl and rory for a boy......oh doesnt like rory!
 
Aww I like Rory, my friend has a baby Rory...really cute! We cant decide on names either, I think we have the girls name but not a boys...Always the way.

Re- feeling the baby. I have also felt a popping,fluttering feeling but not sure if its trapped wind ha ha. Though, if it makes any difference I felt it when I was probably sqashing the baby!

We're also team yellow/green, but my husband has a really stronge male gene in his family. So im guessing a boy, I will be totally shocked if its a girl.

Dreamer, not sure if I have this right. But does your husband work nights? My husband works nights and we're trying to figure out what were gonna do whilst im home with the baby during the day. I'm thinking ear bluggs! Have you guys thought about this? xx
 
we have one boys name and one girls name so hopefully that's the way it goes. We won't think about other names til we have to. I do like both Keira and Rory.

So.. I just got back from the dentist because I had to get a small filling done. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good. Apparently my metabolism is really high because they hit me up with the anesthetic twice and I still felt a lot more than I should have. :( Although it did work on my tongue, just not where they were doing the drilling. So I'm not a very happy camper. I would have just gone home for the rest of the day but I have a report that I have to finish so I came back in. Hopefully I can get it done fast as I could really use to lay down for a little while!

Aww unlucky you. I work in a dentist as a nurse. We dont tend to do treatment on pregnant woman, you can its perfectly safe, but we try and avoid it unless your in pain. The anesthetic can make you feel a bit rubbish.
Hope you feel better soon x :hugs:
 
Good luck finding out the gender ladies. Mine decided to sit there with crossed legs at the lady 2 ultrasounds!!!! Oh well. Got another one next week so fingers crossed!
Take care of yourself tobaira!!! Would an ice pack help?
Speaking of, I know I have a cavity. Is it bad to have while pg? I have been procrastinating going in bc I have a rare balance disorder that causes severe headaches, and I've recently had a flare. It makes my whole jaw and face and teeth very sensitive so I was waiting in hopes that it calms down. Do you think I have done harm by waiting?
 
hi ladies, we're definitely team yellow!
my parents are convinced we'll have a girl though. feeling pretty rubbish lately, bad ms / nausea and never seem to want to eat. am trying to eat what i can so baby gets something but its really hard, just want to drink and sleep

Sorry to hear you've been getting headaches. When you have severe headaches or migrains it can effect your whole head, face and teeth. Toothache can often be wrongly diagnosed because of this, a common one is sinus problems causing teeth to ache and being incorrectly diagnosed.

Decay/cavities in teeth will never get smaller, but you can slow down the progression of decay by using a high fluoride toothpaste and not rinsing after brushing and keeping clean. Your dentist might also place a high fluoride gel on the tooth to help slow down the progression if you were to see him/her.

Can I ask how often you see your dentist? I only ask because if you go often it is unlikey to be a big cavity and was probably picked up early. Is it under an existing filling or in a tooth that hasnt had any treatment...if its hasnt had any treatment done on it before, it will be easier to keep clean. :)

I have to say, I would be more inclined to put off treatment whilst pregnant. But if I had pain I wouldnt hesitiate. As I said it is safe to have treatment while pregnant. But would def inform my dentist of my pregnancy. xx
 
Love the name Keira, thats on our list :) shame your OH doesnt like Rory its cute. Naming is proving to be quite a hard one

Claire - yes my OH is in IT and works shifts, 7 days and 7 nights a month. He's hoping to take a month off at first with holiday and paternity leave, but after that I think at first it will be tough as you can hear all sounds through our house! He is quite a heavy sleeper though, and can sleep with the TV on so may try that to block out the sound of a screaming baby! Thinking once I feel up to it, will try and go out for a few hours at least, to my grandma's or shopping or something. Whats your situation? Does your husband constantly work nights?

Sorry to hear your feeling nauseous baby, i only had it bad for a week or so, but that was enough for me! I've only recently gained my appetite back. Went through a good few weeks of not fancying any food, then feeling hungry but after one bite, I'd feel stuffed and sick. Drink lots of water, take vits and eat what you can. I'm sure you've tried but nibbling on biscuits/crackers seemed to help me a little.

It's my birthday today! I've got the day off work and we're going shopping to get me a load of maternity clothes hehe x
 
Happy Birthday Dreamer, happy shopping!

Well, my hubby works nights all the time! like your chap he sleeps with the tv on, so hoping that will help. Im also planning trying to get out and about as much as poss, but its hard because I will also want time at home as well. Not quite sure how it will work out. I dont really have any friends here with young babies, though my sisters are youngish and gonna tag along to some of things she does....so thats one day a week covered ha ha.

Im worried about during the week though cause I'll have to do all the night feeds and everything...I guess he'll have to do the weekends!! Fair is fair! ha ha

Enjoy your birthday xx
 
Dreamer we share birthdays.. :) I am turning 25 today.. hope you have fun out shopping.. i love maternity shopping.. :) Happy birthday..

my day has been great so far as my niece was born this morning so now i share with another.. :)
 
Aw happy birthday lilrojo! guess what...we're the exact same age too as im turning 25. Congrsts on your new neice x
 
wow- happy birthday dreamer and lilrojo! :wohoo: Hope you guys have wonderful days.. I just love birthdays!!!

feeling better, jaw is still a little sore where the shots went in though. oh well.

have the day off but may go out and do some shopping myself. and maybe poke my head in at babies r us to look around. we'll see. I was looking at some of the stuff that I got from my family and it turns out the two car seats were manufactured in 2000 and 2001 - so I'm pretty sure we're going to have to replace them since I guess they are only supposed to be good for 6-8 years. And of course the crib I was give is a drop down.. at least the swing still works (although it's a bit noisy lol). maybe I'll just go back to bed instead =)
