July Jewels... 2018 buddies

[Pisces24]

Hey al, my first post in the group. Due July 20th/21st (Have PCOS and strange cycles) 3rd baby. Nervous about posting in here as have had 4 early losses. Praying all will be ok this time.

Already have a 6 year old girl and an almost 4 year old girl.

Lovely to meet you all xx

Welcome to all of the new members! We are happy to have you!

Pisces - fingers crossed for a happy and healthy 9 months!!

I am getting a little nervous, as I feel like I had more symptoms by this time with my first, but it could just be all in my head. Again, I did have some waves of nausea yesterday. But, mostly I feel like it is all made up that I am even pregnant and probably will until my dr appt on nov 27

Love that progression JWC!!!

JLH for the tickers I honestly googled 'pregnancy tickers' and searched for the ones I liked Mine are from The Bump and Babysizer and you basically go on the websites and you get the link/url (I can't remember but it says it's for forums) and copy/paste into your signature!

Thank you ☺️ Ive got to do a couple more posts before tnwill allow me to add it... grrr! Xx

Oh wow Unique - my first midwife appointment won't be until after my NT scan (and same with previous 2 pregnancies.) My GP hasn't even sent off my referral yet!

TexMel - I started off with an abundance of symptoms. Even more than previous pregnancies, but now at 6w I feel like everything has slowed down, which has me slightly worried. Hopefully everything is fine for us both

 

[Alligator]

It's funny, I find less symptoms this pregnancy than last...less cramping, less breast pain, a little more tiredness perhaps (but maybe that's also my thyroid), and I'm super cold (again, thyroid). Around 5-6w I started getting severe nausea so I'm waiting for that...but it feels much different this time around, and it has me anxious of course, but my last pregnancy resulted in a loss, so it's hard for me to know what is normal/good/etc.

 

[Buffyx]

My baaaad nausea kicked in bang on 6w with the last 2 pregnancies, so the fact that it is still only slight has me worried.

Fingers crossed Alli!

Welcome and congrats to all the new ladies. I feel like we need to start a list of when everyone’s due dates are

Unique - I don’t have a midwife appt yet. I think I need to go back to my GP after my dating scan and then maybe they will refer me to the hospital

Fingers crossed for you Pisces x

Tex - I feel the same with the symptoms but after feeling ill after my breakfast this morning I’m reminded that I really would prefer no nausea!

 

[StarryEyed88]

Happy 5 weeks by the way Alli!
I look forward to my ticker changing to the next week. Except mine is slightly out...I’m only 4w5d

 

[Buffyx]

Starryeyed - my dating scan is on the 17th and then my GP will refer me after that. That's how it has worked for me in the past

Good idea about the list of due dates!

 

[StarryEyed88]

Thanks Buffy
Is there anyway to add a new post to the start of the thread?

 

[Buffyx]

I dont think so. It has to be the original poster. Maybe we should start a new thread in the Pregnancy Discussion section with someone more active who can post the due dates?!

I have a July babies 2018 thread I posted, I could edit that?

 

[Matherese]

I'm trying to figure this site out. Is it all just one long thread? There's no way to have a group format where you can make several different posts on different topics?

Yeah if you would like to be the one to keep it up to date? That would be great.

Also there is already a June Jewels group, so I was hoping for a different name for July?

Go to the first trimester board and you will have that option

 

[StarryEyed88]

Buffy I kept getting mixed up between the two groups

 

[TexMel]

If you want to move over to the groups, let's do it. Maybe a few more moms will find us in there, too

Anyone have an idea for a name, though? I see the 2017 July group was the Firecrackers

 

[StarryEyed88]

Agree let’s move but as for names...I am definitely not a creative person, all I can offer is July Jellybeans I hope you guys can come up with something better!

 

[Alligator]

I like firecrackers! Cute. Can someone post a link to the new thread? It’s so hard to find threads on mobile!!

I also love when I hit a new week - best thing ever.

So my doctor put my on thyroid meds and I have to have my blood drawn every 4w until I give birth, basically, to keep on top of it. Which I’m happy to do! She said it was the highest my thyroid had ever been... :/

Jellybeans
Jellyfish
Firecrackers

They are all cute. Not everyone celebrates 4th if July though (like us Aussies) - but I still think it's a cute name
