[SJK]

yay MB your on my team xx

Hi rose19 x

 

[shelleylu]

Its not fair I want top buy baby clothes too!!!!!!!!!!!

Im in a mood now!!!! I feel sick too - keeps coming back on and off. So much for no nausea - it cant start up again now surely??! I cant eat my dinner again!

SJK - I am so finding out!! I waitied with DS, but ended up having him in dramatic theatre off my rocker, so the fact he was alive was a bonus - the fact he was a boy was a minor detail - so Id rather find out now so I can get excited!!
I know Gem is waiting too. You are all so good!!!

Just wish my scan was this week, not next month!!

Oh yah Nikki - I read up on SPD and the symptoms are exactly the same. I didnt know anything about it before, so thanks for pointing me in that direction x Im hoping it tails off, but it seems to be getting worse. Fingers crossed!!

[shelleylu]

Hi Rose - I'll add you hun xxxx

 

[SJK]

aww shelley hope your feeling better soon xx

I soooo cant wait 25 days for my scan, Im soooooooo excited xxx

 

[godivalocks]

I told my mom about the upcoming scan, and she asked whether it was to see if anything was wrong.

I told her yeah, to check that, but to also find out the sex.

She then proceeded to scoff at me "Well, you don't need that."

"No, I don't NEED it, but I want it."

Obviously she's not for it at all, but it doesn't matter what she wants. Not her choice.

It pissed me off that she can be like that, just like she decided that I should use cloth diapers, then got mad when I said I wasn't going to use them (heck, I don't want to change diapers at ALL let alone mess with cloth diapers). She then decided that she therefor wasn't going to get any baby stuff, since "I can afford disposables, then I can afford everything else".

I don't require anyone to buy me anything, it's just the idea that I either do things HER way or else, that make me so mad.

If she wants to be that way, she doesn't need to have anything to do with the kid, either. Last thing I need is THAT attitude influencing it as it grows.

 

[maybethistime]

Hey rosie congrats on the july bump x

SJK thank god u can keep me going lol, me mum wanted me to find out seeing as we already picked our names for either, but as we dont mind I see my DH point lol, As its my first I really wanted that movie experiance when u have 2 be told when the baby is born lol (how sad) so Im glad my DH has put is big size 13 down lol.

godivalocks-My mum used 2 be like that, but since i moved out got married she has never really been on me back, hope she gets better or she could be missing out on ur little one

 

[nikkip75]

hi rosie :wave:

shelly u dont really have to tell anyone right away but let your midwife know next time you see her, i told the consultant last week and she said they wont really do anythin until 20 weeks anyway.

i hate to tell you this but it may get worse (SORRY SORRY SORRY) some women end up on crutches and have to go to physio but mine never got THAT bad, was just really uncomfortable, it makes me want to walk like a duck lol

just take it easy, it is really common and loads of women suffer from it, but it bloody horrible! my bum bones have been killin me today!

but on a good note i can use it as an excuse not to have to do so much housework!!

hope your feeling better soon

oh an i cant wait to find out what we are having! but im not building my hopes up, we couldnt wait to find out with daisy but when we went for the scan she had her legs tightly crossed so we couldnt tell!! i was not a happy bunny!

 

[shelleylu]

Thanks Nikki - I'd say you've made me feel better - but you havent! lol...

Is it normal to just come on, then start hurting a lot very quickly? It seems since this afternoon, my back has been killing and (usually only when Im sat at this pc actually) the front pelvic bone bit hurts? Like a stabbing shooting pain, and mainly on the one side? I just dont want it to be wrong, and then I go and say I think Ive got spd, and the consultant I see says no you havent you're just a hypocondriac! lol..

Godiva - your mum sounds a bit mean! I would try and have a chat with her and clear it up so you can have a fresh start for when lo arrives. She sounds a bit selfish to me. I hate it when I hear things like that because it must be a strain for you, and thats the last thing you need when you're PG. I hope you get it sorted hun. Tell her Im not doing cloth nappies either if that helps, AND im finding out the sex - and I do need it!!!!!

Hello to the newbies on here.
Shelley: sorry to hear you are feeling icky again. I seem to have a couple of good days now, followed by a couple of vomit days. At least it's not every day now. Still feel sick most of the time, but at least I'm not puking 24/7.

Who's felt baby move so far? I keep stressing because I haven't, but I'm sure 16 weeks is early to feel a first one. What's everyone else's experience so far?

I've got MW in a week and 20 week scan in 4 weeks. So excited about hearing HB next week and about finding out sex at the scan!

 

[nikkip75]

oh im sooooo sorry shelly dont want to be all doom and gloom!

it does sound like spd to me tho, the pain in the front bone, gets worse when sitting in an awkward position and mine gets worse when im walking about.

but it is something you can live with, if you let your mw know she can give you some info on how to sit/walk/lie properly, and the belt thingy can help and in this weather can keep you warm lol

and the last time i had it, it started at about 20 weeks and didnt get much worse so lived with it for 20 weeks while still working full time as a nursery nurse.

since joining this forum a few months ago ive seen loads an loads of threads on it so lots of ladies on here get it.

get yourself a nice comfy cushion park ure bum on it and put your feet up!

 

[honey08]

nikki,lots dont feel there first till 20wk ! but i did defo feel LO other day uknow,was so exciting aswell,but aint since, its like when u get wind and ur tum gurgles sort of thing....except it not wind ! lol but dont worry bout it

Yes, I think it is normal to suddenly start hurting in spots.

As far as my mom, she is, well, who she is. She's always been controlling/domineering. She actually takes after her father, from what I've heard of him (at least when he was younger).

No amount of talking is going to change that. The only way to stop her from going on a rant is to just tell her that's the way it's going to be, like I did. That's why I left home as soon as I came of age and never went back, even though it's been a struggle. It's also why I'm don't stay with them when I visit (I stay with my aunt).

I still love her, because I know she's only doing what she knows and I know she still loves me, but I don't let her dictate to me what I can and can't do. There are qualities in her that are very good like honesty, loyalty, and she CAN be helpful. She also has her own integrity, which I hope I have inherited enough of. But she can also be stubborn when she thinks she's right. Well, I inherited that stubbornness, too, and I stand my ground with her.

I go every three weeks from 6 - 16 weeks, then every four weeks till 30 weeks, then every 2 weeks. That's just what my Ob-Gyn does. And I'm not going to argue!

Yeah, I'm buying bits and pieces. I'm also doing a lot of research re prams etc. so that if things come on sale, I can grab them.

Hello Newbies :wave:

My Thanks button is off and on at the moment, so thanks to everyone re the congrats for blue team. I really admire the people who are not finding out. I did a complete 360 on this. Now I just want to take the mystery out of the big day (I'm a wimp! )

Yes, I've felt some movement, I think. At about 13 weeks, I had lots of weird 'flutters', then recently, also little 'prods'. The Ob-Gyn asked me yesterday if I'd felt, and i said I thought so, but wasn't sure, and he said that was pretty normal and I wouldn't feel 'full on' movements for another month. Apparently while the babies move heaps now, they are really tiny movements.

Gem - you sure are a bargain hunter!

Shelley - are you going to call the m/w. I'm sure it's fine, but you'll feel better if you check

SJK - thanks for the tip about the Baby K range. (We have the same initials).

Bye xx

 

[wishingonastar]

hey sjk and maybethistime - i'm not finding out either so we're all on team yellow

godiva...sorry about your mum being off - unfortunately some mums can never let go of thinking they rule the roost and she probably feels she knows best as this will be your first but you're right just be firm and she'll hopefully learn

sorry to hear about possible reason for your pains shelley

 

[wishingonastar]

oh and niki - i have felt teeny flutters on about three occasions but nothing major or regular so i do think we're just too early...midwife said as of 20 weeks if when you'll have no doubt in your mind that you can feel movement!

 

[geogem]

Hi there ladies,

I have been to the m/w this morning and I heard lo's hearbeat!! Everything is fine and the midwife was very happy with my progress so all is good!!

I will not be finding out SKJ!! I did with my first and I thought i'd try the surprise option this time. Although I am enjoying trying to figure it out with old wives tales!! Like this morning when midwife used doppler I wanted to know how many bpm as they reckon fast = girl and slow= boy. apparantly 140bpm is the marker and I lo's was 148bpm so that says girl!! although I still think boy!!

but it is fun guessing!!

anyway Shelley - sorry to hear you are not feeling to great hun - you really dont need anything else do you!!

glad everyone is okay!! I am still feeling really good!! am I bragging now?? lol

ttfn
