July Sparklers 2016!

[MelliPaige]

Another extremely emotional day, I can't even talk about leaving my son for work without tearing up. I took another personal day, hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow. Sorry for not replying to everyone out joining in on many conversations, im a little busy but I love being part of this group!

ETA: happy 5 weeks to my new little baby love!

 

[RedButterfly]

Welcome, red butterfly! When are you due?

From lmp, 16 July.

 

[TTC74]

Ugh, anybody else tired, but having really crappy sleeps???

Yes! I was just telling dh that we need to be settling in early tonight so that I can try to catch up on my sleep. I just can't seem to sleep through the night well right now even though I'm exhausted!

 

[luvmyfam]

Welcome redbutterfly :wave:!! And congrats!!

That sucks that some of you are have such horrible nausea already. I will be 6 weeks tomorrow and in the pregnancy that I had MS it started at 6 weeks so I'm holding my breath! I can't believe how bloated I am though and DH jokes that I'm already showing.... not funny!

Is anyone using a pregnancy app? What are your favorites? I have 2 and I really like the "pregnancy ++" app.

16 days until my first scan .

 

[Babylove100]

OMG is anyone suffering with trapped wind....sooooo painful!!

I'm using Ovia, Pregnancy+ and What to expect when your expecting apps

 

[dimmu]

I've downloaded the glow app but will look into others as well.

Hmmmm I wonder if I'm starting to develop evening sickness. Felt really nauseous this time yesterday, today I've been fine but just started to feel nauseous again about an hour ago. I feel like I could actually be sick now. Anyone else had evening instead of morning sickness?

 

[Hollynesss]

I use a couple of different apps (the bump, babycenter, mayo clinic) but I'm not particularly attached to any of them. I've heard Sprout is great (thanks DandJ!) and plan to download it.

 

[DandJ]

Yes, I've been using Sprout which shows a 3D version of what you baby looks like each week with info bullets of how the baby is growing and what the size the baby is. Unfortunately, there is only a 14 day trial then you have to pay $3.99 I believe - but worth it in my opinion! I also still have FertilityFriend which gives you the same text information as Sprout but Sprout is cooler!

I also have waves of nausea. I saw my baby & their heartbeat at 120bpm!! The technician was so happy and says I'm measuring perfectly by 1 day ahead. -beams-

 

[WantsALittle1]

Oo DandJ congrats!

I saw bub yesterday at 6+4 too, was measuring 6+5, heartbeat was 123 bpm!

 

[DandJ]

How cool WantsaLittle1! We're almost exactly the same with ours!

 

[Lavochain]

Thanks to everyone for the luck

It was really simple and straightforward both the midwife and her student were super efficient and I have my booking appointment (2nd Dec.) and my first scan set up!!! The 21st December is our date so we're really happy that it will be before Christmas. I can't believe that I'm 7 weeks already, time has flown.

Hope you're all well. So sorry that I don't respond to everyone individually, it's just when I get chance to come on here there are 4 new pages haha
No issue with having an active group though ladies.

 

[jalilma]

As if it's possible I am MORE tired the last few days then I have been... And I thought I was bone dead tired before. I just want to make it through the day without feeling like I'm going to fall right over and sleep .. Yes I am emotional.. And yes I am near tears as I write this and yes I'm stuck at work for the next 3 hours!

 

[RedButterfly]

OMG is anyone suffering with trapped wind....sooooo painful!!

I'm using Ovia, Pregnancy+ and What to expect when your expecting apps

Yes with the trapped wind! Especially in the morning.. Oow!

 

[Monkei]

im getting annoyed now waiting for my re scan date to come through ! i need to go to the doctors and get them to refer me to the mw but i dont even know how far along i am or anything i feel in limbo ! meant to have booking in at 8 weeks but who knows im asuming im 5/6 weeks now but who knows. im exhausted, keep being sick and my boobs are horrendously painful! on top of it all dd keeps waking 3/4 times a night and is up and awake by 3 am i seriously cant cope and work doesnt help 4 hours a day washing up bending over a sink ! rant over i cant wait for tri 1 to be over i hate the worry

 

[Miss Bellum]

Hi Redbutterfly! Congrats.

Babydustcass, no spots but have come up with coldsores instead

TTC74 - I hadnt heard that about the harmony test, seems a bit odd. Early night for us too.

Wanna-be-mummy - sounds rough hope you feel better soon

Dimmu - glad you feel better x

Scgirl - Hope your scan goes well. How exciting to be having a baby close to your friend. That happened to me last time and it was lovely. I know she is tcc at the moment so hope it happens again!

Karry1412 - Hope the next week does well and you don’t end up suffering lots of symptoms.

2b4us - Yep. I am tired but having trouble sleeping which is annoying. But I think today was more due to lg then bean as she thought it would be great to be up a 3, 4 and 5.30.

Jalimlam - Hugs, sound like a rough night, hope the rest of your shift flies by.

Mellipage - Hugs, sounds like its been a tough day. Hope tomorrow is better.

Luvmyfam - Yeah, not a very funny joke. Fingers crossed you don’t get bad sickness this time round. I'm not using any apps - what sort of things do they do? Wow, scan date already!

Babylove100 - Hope the trapped wind goes soon.

Dandj & wantsalittleone What fab news! So pleased both your bubs are doing well.

Lavochain - Great that your appointment went so well and you have your scan booked in already. This is a pretty fast moving group and its hard to keep up!

Monkei - I sympathise my lg keeps waking too. It makes it really hard. In our area you call the midwife direct without going to the docs, is it similar in your area? They are generally pretty good at helping to work out what date you need to come in. I hate all the worry and waiting in first trimester too.

 

[babydustcass]

I am super bloated... baby bloat I had it with both my previous pregnancies and it never goes until I start to get a real bump. Out come the leggings :/

 

[TTCBabyG2015]

I've been using Nuture which, is the pregnancy app from Glow. I used Glow to track my period and fertile days. I've also been told to download Ovia.

Leggings have been my best friend for a while now lol. All my work pants are real snug already.

 

[Monkei]

no in my area the doctor has to refer you so i need to go in this week as it takes a while to get an appointment at the hospital work are not going to be happy with me having time of for scans etc as they say its only four hours hopefully ill get booking in appointment in the christmas holidays as im off from the 18th till the 5th im struggling this time as my dd dad left me and im struggling to see that my partner is actually going to be there for both my children. i feel really clingy and needy and its annoying me.

 

[ehjmorris]

Wow few pages to catch up on this morning

Congrats and welcome redbutterfly!

I have had a few spots this time round, really unattractive isnt it haha

Ttc74 what is a harmony test?

I agree with all you ladies about being ridiculously tired, im in bed by like 8.30 most nights and still wake up tired!

I use a few apps like ff, pregnancy +, nurture, and what to expect lol i couldn't decide which one i liked best

 

[jGo_18]

hello ladies! now that i'm caught up on the thread - i'm hoping i can join?

Just found out a few days ago that i'm expecting baby #2 - edd July 28th 2016!
my wife and i were trying for about 9 months - via donor - so it's a huge relief to see our efforts pay off.

i'm feeling quite nervous and poas daily just to see those gorgeous two lines (i'll be 4 weeks tomorrow - got my bfp early at 3wks+3days).
