July Firecrackers 2018

Caviar I notice that too! A really bad day then so so then good, seems to be a cycle! Hope you’re feeling better soon.

 

[Buffyx]

If it makes you all feel any better, I have zero good days. They are all total crap.

Youre welcome.

 

[Alligator]

Aw buffy! I had two good days last week, and even then it wasn’t normal good, but if I stayed on top of eating and got enough sleep I felt only background nausea!

Hiya ladies!!

I had my dating ultrasound today!! Baby is happy and healthy, and measuring exactly where I said! 9 w 2 d! With EDD of July 16! 150 BPM.

Not sure how to attach the pic,. but! happy this bean is sticky.

Great news Krockwell. I have added you to the front page

I had my gym Christmas party tonight. Everyoneeeeee was drinking. I dont think it was too weird that i wasnt drinking though since its a Thursday night.

 

[Alligator]

Not weird! It's a Thursday. And unless people are super observant (which is weird lol) they are likely not noticing one person not drinking, especially if they are getting a few drinks in themselves.

 

[Four2Five]

Welcome Krockwell!! I’m due on July 16th too Which also happens to be my birthday so I’m super excited at the potential to have a birthday baby though I doubt that will actually happen!

We have set up a Facebook group where most of us Due in a July mamas have joined and find it a little easier to talk and share photos privately since this is a public site and our Facebook group is secret. Anyhow no pressure but you’re welcome to join us if you’d like, private message me your email address and I can add you to our group

Started noticing this yesterday: a heavy feeling in my pelvis/uterus? Not really cramping, not really painful, just feels noticeable and heavy, does that make sense? Normal?

 

[Four2Five]

I have been feeling the same way, and my lower abdomen feels firm like it’s super bloated, I wake up in the morning and I’m like WHOA did I pop or what because my stomach feels huge and round and heavy and hard, so crazy

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Hope you start feeling better soon too Alligator This sickness sucks for sure! Like a hangover that lasts for months... ugh!

Awe Buffy I'm so sorry you're not feeling well at all... I hope it starts easing for you soon. You're so close to the second trimester now xx

Great news Krockwell! Always relieving to see that lil heart beating, isn't it?

Four2five my lower stomach is always hard too. I'm really starting to notice things are getting more sore down there. Oh, stretching pains, how I didn't miss thee

 

[Alligator]

I also feel like my lower stomach is a bit harder than usual. And definitely not in an 'abs for days' way hahaha.

Congrats Rockwell!

Lol I wish! I didn't even have hard abs before having babies

 

[Alligator]

^^ I was by no means cut or rocking a 6 pack but I had a pretty flat belly and a strong core... no longer!

 

[TexMel]

11 weeks

Yum! Donut holes!!

 

[Alligator]

Omg! In Canada we call those Tim bits lol. Tim Horton’s is like the most famous coffee chain here (he was a hockey player..duh) and so the donut hole donuts we call Timbits. Cute!

 

[MissEyre]

I feel like the conversation here has really slowed down now that the Facebook group was created. I'm trying to transition off of Facebook, so I'll still be participating here. Hopefully others will still join me!

I feel like some of my nausea is finally easing up, but my gag reflex has gotten ridiculous. I never experienced this with my last pregnancy but it is crazy strong and no fun. I can go from completely fine to being sick in less than a minute without any nausea. Anyone have tips on how to get it under control?

 

[Alligator]

Some hours I feel like my nausea is okay and mild and others (today) it’s awful and I’m running to the toilet to be sick... just after I ate. Baby didn’t like bagels anymore?!

 

[Four2Five]

Miss I’m sorry you feel like it’s gotten quiet around here, I check in here pretty much every day still so that I keep up with you mamas who didn’t want to join the Facebook group but you all don’t post much so I haven’t had much to respond to but I will try harder to think of topics on here too

 

[MissEyre]

Alli - I feel the same way! I made the mistake of telling my husband that I almost felt normal and I paid for it the very next hour.

Four - No worries. I get that most people are more active on Facebook with notifications and apps on the their phones. I'm just hoping I can coax those that still want to participate here into a bit more conversation.

It makes sense that some of the chatter dies down the first trimester while we're all feeling sick. I have days where I don't feel good enough to check in here.

We finally told my in-laws and my MIL's reaction was so lame. Her first words were "Y'all are making me feel old." Whatever that's supposed to mean!?! Then she proceeded to talk about how busy July already was. Seriously?
