Due June 2011, bump buddies reconnect

[Ladyjie54]

Hi everyone!
I just joined this forum and this is my first post. I'm due June 1, 2011 with my first. I'm still not sure if what I see is baby bump or chubs. Early in the morning I can suck in my stomach and it's fairly flat. But when I'm relaxed I look like I have a tiny melon in there. I wasn't big to begin with. I was 140 pounds pre pregnancy. Anyway, I'm just excited to finally see my bump but am antsy that all I see is fat. I have prenatal exam on Monday so I'm excited to see the little one in the ultrasound.

summer - is your scan today? Sending good thoughts your way!

How was all of you ladies weekend? Everybody ready for the holidays? We got all of our packages out in the mail and our cards out too - finished shopping - thank god! I work only 3.5 days this week, and then am off until the 3rd - can't wait for a nice long lazy vacation!

I'm dealing with the absolute worst itchy skin - all over my body right now. I think my skin is stretching like crazy, and the winter air is not helping to keep it hydrated. I bought some special coco butter lotion this weekend hoping it would help with the itchiness - but I've not seen any improvement yet. The itching is especially bad on the boob area and low stomach - I think i'm just growing! ugh!

Next scan is Jan 3rd!

Hey Jenna, my scan is tomorrow afternoon, it can't come soon enough! I am so excited!

My stomach is growing too! Not itchy though, i just think i feel it stretching! Weird, maybe, i think so! But i honestly don't look much bigger than a few weeks ago. I have been taking tummy pics after each DR appt. I go too! Im going to make an album of all the u/s pics and my growing tummy for the baby too see!

I am all done shopping for Christmas too! Now we need to deliver them all! But this year we are going to see all our family! So it will be great!

Have a great all, and I will let you all know how my appt goes!

Hey ladies
Sorry been quiet for a while. Trying to get everything finished before I finish work for the year. I imagine everyoneelse is pretty busy too with Xmas pressie buying etc.

I am really looking forward to getting a proper bump and also starting to feel some flutters or even kicks/pokes from bubba as starting to get nervous again. I know I should just relax but who said it was rational?!

Hope you are all feeling well and good luck with your scan summerbaby.

Good luck summer xx Thinking of you.

I have to apologise too for not being on this thread for ages - I've been getting back on my feet post sickness and now hubby has gone down with cold again - I'm certain its coming my way again!

How are you all feeling??

Jenna - I have itchy arms and legs and nipples! - Palmers Cocoa butter eases it for me. Hope you're not going to be itchy all Christmas!

My OH thinks i'm getting a proper bump now - and i'm inclined to agree, instead of a fat tyre, I have a rounded mass, below belly button is puffing out and when stood up I can always feel the top of my uterus now and where it is. Also feeling firmer - my OH felt it at the weekend and he was all excited - its so hard for the men as they can't feel anything.

I have round ligament pain I think, past few days when I've got up from a chair, been in the shower, or walking to office I've had twinges and pulling, this morning it shot down my leg too - hope its not the start of sciatica!

Keep well, warm and snuggled ladies xx

Summer! Today is the day - sending good thoughts your way! Keep us posted!

MissBB - I'm actually calling my OB today to ask about the itching - my pregnancy book said that if you are itchy all over you should call the dr. I'm sure it's nothing, but better safe than sorry. I've been so miserable with itching! I bought the palmers stuff too - and a soothing body wash - but it's not helping in the slightest for me. So happy to hear you're getting a proper bump! Mine is still just kind of flabby looking - hope it forms up soon!

Have a happy day all -

If you are keeping track - the itching - dr. prescribed a Benadryl cream and tablet for me to take. I'll let you know if it helps!

Righty oh! Will check back to see how u get on. Fingers crossed.x

 

[summerbaby11]

So I had my Dr appt. Everything is good. Bubs heartbeat is nice and strong. No pics!

My next appt is Jan 24th and that when we get to know if we are having a boy or a girl! YAY! I cant believe in a month I will know if i get a daughter or son. Either one is great for me! I hope this next month goes by fast!!!!

Jenna, I hope the itching goes away soon. I use Palmers Cocoa Butter but just to try reduce the stretch marks. I started using the day I found out I was pregnant.

 

[Jenna_1980]

Summer! Congrats on the happy scan! I'm excited to find out the gender too - mine isn't until Feb 1st or 2nd - need to find out the exact date at my next apt.

hugs all 'round!
