[NikiJJones]

Sorry you are feeling rough. I get quite a lot of tummy cramping too. Some is womb, but some is definitely my bowels too. It's always a bit scary.

Hey girls! ~(sorry for long post, but ignore boring bits)

Been off for a day due to the internet connection being taken up by bloody Mario Kart!! lol

So..............

Whitelilly & Elliebaby - in normal world you will be in 2nd tri in 1 week, not 2!! For some reason this site is different, but the rest of the world knows 2nd tri as being at 13 weeks? Or am I totally wrong??!! If I am, nobody would mind if you moved over anyway Im sure?! Im in no mans land too, because I know for sure I am 5-6 days earlier than my EDD, but the buggers wont change it!!! I only 'made babies' that one night, and I know when I ov'd and the bloody scan says Im 6 days early, but still nothing! Haha, I just love something to obsess over....

Niki - Firstly, congratulations on feeling good! I dont want to jinx it, but Im so glad you're feeling better. Hopefully it'll keep off for a bit. Saying that, Ive had no sickness for a week or two, then last night was awful!
As for using bio oil - Im afraid there is nothing you can do about stretch marks. I was a skincare consultant and have seen all kinds of skin - saggy, wrinkly, stretched etc. Mine is shocking. I did carry a 10lb3 baby, but if I look at my mums tum, the stretch marks are in the same place. Some of them open up every now and again they are so deep!! Unfortunatley, there is bugger all you can do about them. Yes, using very intensive moisturisers keep your skin supple, but if its gonna happen its gonna happen. Look at your mom (or just ask lol) and chances are, you'll end up the same. My mum and I even have them under our arm pits as our BBS got sooooo big! When you were a teenager, if you had them then around your hips etc, you'll probably get some. Its luck of the draw!

(boring Wii chat - dont read unless you're WIDE AWAKE!)
SJK and Sarah - yes you can hook the Wii up. If you use wireless internet, you can get an adapter for it. I use wired broadband. I had to buy something called a LAN Adapter. It was only £20. You pop it in your router and then into your Wii and bingo - you can play the whole world at whatever compatible games you have. As I said before, MarioKart is a big sucess in our house ATM. When you first link it up, you can go into Wii Shop and buy various Channels. I got 'Internet Channel' Yesterday and I was able to go on the internet on my TV! I went on Facebook, checked my emails. I tell you, the Wii console is amazing. I used to love old school Mario games too, and you can buy them in the Wii shop and they download onto the Wii!! You get a serial number when you go on, and if you know someone elses number, no matter where they are, you can add them as a freind and chat or play games together.
Its a relly good investment I think as we all love it for different reasons, not just playing games. So yes Sarah - let OH get one - you'll love it!! (No I dont work for Wii now...lol)

Gem - I hope your cough is better sweetie xxxx

sarah - I am proud to announce I havent gained any weight still. Even over Christmas!! I have still lost if anything. I know it will all come om in shed loads soon, but Im chuffed at the minute. I read in my PG bible it was totally normal to put anything upto around 4-5lb on in 1st tri, so dont worry!!

Not long till your scan Ellie, and your app honey. I know its horrid waiting, but dont you think its starting to speed up a bit now?? The first 2 months dragged - its not as bad now I dont think???

Preggo, as Honey said check out the first page, We're all on there. But come in and chat to us any time xxxxx

Right, I shall go and update front page. Any more info from anyone? Any more gender guesses? Who is finding out at 20 wk scan?? (sorry if we've discussed this, but my PG brain is shocking...lol)

Hope everyone is doing ok anyway. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[NikiJJones]

Shelley: sorry you had another sicky day! Bum!
I'm on no vomit day number 4! (Sorry: just to rub it in!) but have had a LOT of nausea today, so not feeling quite so blooming.
Honey: I've not got my consultant appointment yet. I'm seeing the MW again at 17 weeks, but still waiting to hear from the consultant. Hope it comes through soon. I could do with a bit more time off school at least!! My hospital is quite a drive in the opposite direction from school, so any appointments up there (sadly!!!!!) means at least half a day off. What a shame!! Just wait till I get to 34 weeks and have to have weekly antenatal. The school will go bonkers. All my colleagues, bar one, have gone off on maternity by then. I'm one of the only ones to work so close to due date.
I've been researching nappies today. I think I'm going to do resusable ones to save money and environment. Trying to decide whether to fork out for the posh "nappy" shapes ones, or whether just to go with the terry squares and be proper old fashioned, but save a TON of money.

 

[Nattyplus2]

hi guys!
ive not been on for weeks, sorry, we moved and havent had internet.
glad to see lots of the same names on here, and everyones scan piccys.
i had my nuchael scan yesterday, got at 1:12000 risk, nuchael measurement was just 1.9 so feeling much more relaxed.
i cant believe we are entering the second trimester now, i didnt think i would ever get here

 

[Nattyplus2]

nikki i use reusable nappies on both of mine, and i would say to you that the best ones are motherease nappies and wraps, dry super quick and fit well no leaks.
they are a birth to potty nappy, my two have been in the same ones since birth and the new baby will be going into them too.
you can get them second hand, i have a few second hand ones. tho if u are planning on more kids in the furture, buying them new is worth it cos they will last longer.

 

[NikiJJones]

Thanks Natty. I will buy from new, yes, as planning on having a little brood of my own. I'll look into those ones. Cheers. Congrats on 2nd Tri!

 

[SJK]

Morning girls , how are we all ??

NJ - I would love to use them nappies, I did think about it the last time, but thats as far as I got, maybe look more into it this time.

shelley would you update the 1st page, my 16 week mw appoint is 20th jan, thanks ,

also Im going to take the dr up on her offer and go for a 16 week scan, I know all is ok, its just to put me at ease, rather than worrying for another 4 weeks, what if ..

dh took me to babies r us last night and treated me to a wedge shape like pillow that fits under your bump, think it helped a bit last night in getting some sleep. Our ds still comes in , in the middle of the night and you waken up and hes there, and by that stage Im hanging over the edge or my belly is , I swear he'll still be there when hes 18

hope everyone is good

 

[geogem]

Well everyone - I think the cough is finally going!! Hooray!!!

I dont seem to have had a really bad fit for a couple of days now!! Yay!!

Well I know people say you start feeling more energetic about this time - but I suddenly dont feel pregnant anymore!! I am still getting the flutterings of movement but for some reason just dont feel preggers!!

Any idea's why??

Anyway glad to hear u are feeling better Niki, lets hope that is it for you!!

How is everyone else?? - I'm getting impatient!! I want to have a big belly, I want hubby to be able to feel kicks, and I want everything that goes with it!! am I going mad?? I just want things to speed up - I wish I had not found out as early as I did - Last time I was 15 weeks when I found out as I had still been bleeding so didnt think and this time it seems to be dragging to even get to that point!!

Anyway enough of my boring ranting!!! Im sure Ive annoyed you all enough!!

ttfn

 

[whitelilly]

SJK, I was thinking about getting a pregnancy pillow as I have started to put my spare one between my legs now.

I am feeling rotten today again.... just feel sick and have a very sore head. Went to hospital last night becasue of the pain and cramps I've been having just incase I had a urine infection but my pee was so diluted it came back normal. Spoke at length with doctor and he said either I have a urine infection, I am constipated or it's just my endometriosis. Most likely, he said, it is a combination of the latter two and it is my job to find out what I can and can't eat... I also think I am going to start swimming and walking more.

On a good note, I have my 12 week scan on Wednesday, yippeeeeeeee!

How are you all feeling? xxxx
