July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[wishingonastar]

yeah i get the odd cramp...apparently they grow quite a bit over next two weeks and this is when they start moving up so i think it's just internal reorganisation

 

[shelleylu]

Hey girls,

Just a quick one to say hi as Im rushed off my feet cleaning up after our wknd away.

Great pics girls, Honey - lovely scan pic

Sarah - on pregnancy buddies, there is a nub prediction thread. I posted in there last week. I have had 3 girl predictions now - so who knows!!

Have felt odd on and off for a few days, but think thats because Ive been out of sync being away. Had a few random stabbing pains in my pelvic area too, also a lot of stretching which I presume is the uterus moving up??

Well tomorrow is d-day for the weird lump. I am off to see the consultant at lunch time and see wht the specialtists say. Fingers crossed for me girls! Ill let you know when I get back.

Sarah - so glad to see you home and well. Keep resting. I once heard that spotting is natures way of telling you to rest - SO LISTEN TO IT!! lol

Right, off to do dinner.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Shellylu- good luck at the consultants...

I am feeling rubbish Been nauseous all day. Plus I had major gas pains all last night and have been cramping all day today too.

Was really worried but I am ok now as just heard baby's HB on my doppler and it was 168bpm

 

[SJK]

shelley good luck tomorrow

lily glad you heard the hb

hows everyone else x

Hi Girls,

I checked out the 2nd Tri thing, and 12w+6d is our last official day of 1st tri (according to 'What to Expect' and my ticker as well), but the B and Bump website does seem to go a week longer.

Thanks for the nub info Shelley. I guess that's what the Ob-Gyn will use on Friday, as he said he could probably make a prediction then.

I get little side cramps too. I think it's just stretching pains. I had the worse shotting pain through my back last night. I went to bed and slept 10hrs and feel a lot better now. My mild m/s has made a return, and the tiredness too, but otherwise feel good.

What doppler is everyone using? Some people seem to know the number of beats? (Which is not something mine - Anglesounds - tells me).

Have a great day

 

[whitelilly]

Hi Sarah,

They're not side cramps, they are like menstrual cramps But they are not severe at all and they are way down in my hoo-haa! I should be ok hopefully just growing pains... I was sick this morning and heard the HB last night. Actually come to think of it, my AF would have been due today!!!

I used the BT200 hi-bebe doppler and it doesn't tell the HB either. I recorded the HB on my mobile then got hubby's stopwatch and timed the number of beats per minute. Hope that helps xxx

Hi there ladies, just wanna say good luck to Shelley today with her appointment with the consultant today - hope everything goes well and you get an answer this time.

Anyway - quick update, I feel fine still, apart from daft cold/cough that seems to be lingering around a bit.

Sorry to hear some of you girls are still feeling crappie - but hey it cant last much longer can it?

Well since I have hit 12 weeks I have started thinking of everything, Labour, boy/girl,names, size etc!! think I have now got the confidence to think of the future!!

Hope all is well ladies

 

[SJK]

morning girls,

hope all is well, what time is shelleys appoint ?

Im feeling not so bad now, think the ms is finally passing, although its still there in the background, is that abit irish ,

anyways heres my bump, I am NOT as big as I look , the photo does absolutly no justice

ps. think Il linger in the 1st tri for a day or two, has anyone moved over yet ?

 

[geogem]

Oh dear, these piccies of bumps are making me feel really fat!! I have a proper preggers bump!! But I figure it might be the fact that I am now letting my fat hang out too!! no more sucking in that tum!!

 

[whitelilly]

Booo my bump is tiny and I want a HHHUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEE one, lol xx

 

[NikiJJones]

Hello,
Shelley: hope it went OK today. Let us know when you can.

Sarah: that sounds like a horrid scare! I think I would have worried myself to death. You are one BRAVE lady to get through that! I'm so glad baby is doing OK.

I've now had 3 days of only throwing up once!!! Please let this be the end of the vomiting!!! I still feel really sick ALL the time, but at least I am keeping most of my food and drink down. Was back at work today so had fun sharing my news. I'm bloody shattered now though, and that was just a staff day! The kids start back tomorrow. My bump is really obvious already! I've had to delve to the back of the wardrobe and get out my old size 10 suits, as I just cannot do up the skirts or trousers on the size 8 ones anymore. My headteacher doesn't want to announce it to the parents till after the February half term, and she said to me "Can you try to keep it hidden until then?" That's another 2 months almost!!!! At the rate I'm growing NO!! Plus I actually don't want to hide it to be honest. Grrrrrrr!!!

 

[shelleylu]

Hey ladies,

Well all is well in my world. The specialist scan went really well. I was so anxious because of all the people there - and when they introduced someone from the genetic department my heartbeat sped up even more!

They really do think the weird thing was a bleed, but today it had virtually gone! There was a tiny amount left next to the placenta, but its nothing to worry about.

I finally told my DS today too. He asked when is it coming?? I said not till the summer - he replied with ''Oh well, you've got enough with me till then!!'' Too true William......

The scan measured baby at 13 weeks today, so thats another day its grown out of its EDD - yet they still wont change it!! Im 5 days earlier, and they said as long as its within 7 days its fine. They dont understand how important a day is, let alone nearly a week!!!!!

I woke up with a huge bump this morning. Right next to my tummy button. It was like a big melon. just on the one side. OH felt it to prove I wasnt goin mad!! I obsessed about it for a bit. Posted in first tri and everything. I thought woo hoo - bump is really here!! Had a wee and it went

I asked the consultant today. She said it would be my bladder pushing baby up. Look out for it in the morning girls!!!!!

Well Im having a chinese tonight to celebrate. Also because I have a terrible migraine from this morning which hasnt gone!!

Hope everyone is well. Niki - your sickness sounds like it might be coming to an end!! Yours too SJK - no you dont sound irish! (well, a bit - but I get you..lol)

Big everyone. We're nearly big girls in 2nd tri now (even though we kind of are already??!! Shall we jump together??!! haha

xxxxxxxx

Welcome

So glad it all went well Shelley. You must feel so much more relaxed

Is anyone finding that their stomach getting uncomfortably full when they eat? (for those of us lucky enough to feel like eating). I ate pasta last night, prob a tad too much, and am still really 'full' and tight this morning.

I agree too, about jumping together into 2nd tri together. So what if a few of us aren't quite there yet! And I think you can go at 13w0d, because that's your 14th week (i.e. 0w 3d, is your first week.... 1w 3 d is your 2nd week, so 13w 0d is your 14th week).

Yes I keep getting like that, feeling uncomfortably full.

Shelley I'm glad everything is ok - now you can sit back & enjoy yr pregnancy!!
