July Sparklers 2016!

Oh no Trr that is really crappy.

My energy levels are ok, I'm not much more fatigued than usual, just starting to get pretty bad back pain. I started cramping a bit after sex yesterday (sorry if tmi) and got really worrisome before it went away - cramps almost as bad as AF, but no bleeding. Anyone else?

Yes, except mine are coming on without sex. Maybe it's a forgotten thing from my first pregnancy, but there's been a few times I was convinced I was gonna start my period

I can join you all with the exhaustion. I used to hate sleep and would avoid it as best as I could, now I have no choice and OH is loving it! We've been out of the area all day to do some Christmas shopping and I have never been so tired and thirsty in all of my life.

Carlinator - I've been getting cramps too and have been worried however a lot of people complain of this in the first trimester so to my mind no blood means nothing to worry about.

Yes! It has been a while, since 2011 I think! Waiting feels like it took forever but I think I've had in my son in my life longer than I've waited for him..which is crazy because it feels like I've had him about a minute..time sure flies when you have LOs! I can't believe I'm here with #2 on the way

Anybody else care to add their prediction for gender?

 

[MelliPaige]

I want another boy and give my ds a brother, but I have very strong girl vibes
Eta I'm due the 21st

 

[Miss Bea]

Really sorry to hear that Trr. Sending love.

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

I really have no preference whatsoever, but feeling major vibes!

 

[gypsymama]

Trr, I am sorry hun. Hope you get your sticky bean soon.

Today was so much better than yesterday. Saw my regular dr, we discussed the pregnancy and hyperemesis and my other medical conditions at length, but I didn't ask her for another beta hcg, it completely slipped my mind. DH has been keeping me well fed and hydrated which has helped, along with the fact that I don't have to go to work today and I'm also off tomorrow and Saturday, I can just lie down and rest whenever I need to.

I'm really hoping my Chinese gender predictor thing is right lol. I'd love to have another boy. Plus, it will be DH's first born and a boy will be his family's only chance to carry on the family last name. He has two sisters but they took their husbands' last name, so I feel a little bit of pressure haha. He says he doesn't have a preference.

Yay ehjmorris beautiful ultrasound pic and congrats!!!!

 

[ehjmorris]

Thank you wantsalittle1
How are you going? Whens your scan

 

[WantsALittle1]

My scan is Tuesday, so nervous. I had a scan last Friday because I started spotting. There was a sac with a yolk, but no baby. They said the sac was measuring 5 days ahead and that seeing the yolk was a good sign, but I am so nervous about whether or not baby will be there on Tues because I am still spotting a tiny amount every day.

Having lots of nausea and fatigue so hoping that's a good sign!

 

[ehjmorris]

Oh well i have all fingers and toes crossed for you i know how bad worry can be

How's everyone today?
I'm just over five weeks, breasts are quite sore and feel a bit queasy especially when I haven't eaten for a while. Otherwise pretty good.
Wondering whether morning sickness will kick in around six weeks like it did with my last pregnancy.

 

[Hollynesss]

Beautiful ultrasound pic, ehj!!!

I'm feeling pretty good at the moment. Really just sore breasts and the occasional nausea.

 

[Babylove100]

I'm feeling really icky today! I got my 12w scan letter through, it also said they will do a internal scan for risk of pre term labour as well, is this normal in the UK? I don't remember my last scan letter saying anything g about that.

Hope everyone's have a good Friday!

Hi ladies - I went for a scan yesterday due to spotting as well. Thankfully saw the baby and saw and heard the heartbeat already....pretty amazing. I am 6w6d today. Its really a relief to know the nugget is doing okay. The thing off to the right is the yolk sac.
Happy friday
