July Sparklers 2016!

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Hello =) just had a quick scan through the thread.

Room for one more ?!

I had a scan yesterday and it confirmed my due date as being the 28th on June but I have gone two weeks over with both my pregnancies. So I hope it's okay if I nosey in here aswell =) as I'll probably be pregnant for about a month longer than everyone in the June group ahaha. I have the gestation of an elephant haha.

Hey Rhi!!

Glad to hear you had a good scan!!

Haha gestation of a elephant!!

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

Welcome rhi! Lovely to hear your scan went well!

Hope everyone is well.

I'm pretty much bogged down with every symptom going this pregnancy... Serves my right for having such a lovely pregnancy the first time around I guess! I woke up yesterday and my face was covered in red dry patches of eczema. I've not had it since I was a little girl. It looks awful and is impossible to cover up with make up so I'm walking around feeling very self conscious at the moment. My friend said its probably a girl, stealing all my beauty! But Jesus I honestly look like the walking dead. If it doesn't clear up, I will see my doctor as it really is unsightly and making my face itch so unpleasant and I am always so lucky with my skin!
Sickness still comes in waves but improving very very slightly. Busy day ahead today and I'm already dreaming of my bed tonight. The thought of it is exhausting me already...

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I would suggest putting some coconut oil on to help with the itchiness of it. Probably no good for out and about but when you are home =). My son has really awful skin and this works wonders for him. It's not cheap though as you need the pure stuff. 15 quid from Holland and barrett. =)

 

[Babylove100]

Feeling really sick again the last few days I wonder how much longer it'll last. I'm exhausted from feeling so rubbish all the time

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

Rhi, thank you, that's very good advice. Lucky I have coconut oil, a big jar of the pure stuff. I've got to wear make up all day today but as soon as I'm home at 5, it's coming off and the oil is going on. Thank you.

Oh babylove it's so tiring isn't it? I feel so much for you. I'm exactly the same. I actually am in the mood for a big cry at the moment! Exhausted doesn't even cover it... Try to rest as much as possible Hun and be kind to yourself. Wish I had a magic wand.

Ah thank you! Hope you feel better soon too. It really is tiring! i could defo cry right now!

Anyone still not feeling pregnant? I have some spurts of nausea but I've been eating snacks throughout the day, so that could be preventing it. However, I've been having some hot flashes like woah. Other than that, I feel fine and normal and sometimes forget I'm pregnant!

Last night I was coughing and my abdomen was hurting when contracting... hopefully I didn't hurt the little fetus!

 

[WantsALittle1]

DandJ, the pain is likely to be round ligaments and muscles being overstressed from clenching to cough. I had two colds while pregnant with DS--one in the first trimester and one right before I delivered. Every time I coughed, it was extremely painful, but DS was just fine. My OB reassured me that baby is very protected in there and that coughing was likely to hurt me long before it hurt him.

 

[jjbuttons]

i felt like that yesterday forgot was preg until eve when nausea and hot flushes started

tummy tight again today and still feel really hot :S

 

[dimmu]

It's hard isn't it? I think my nausea and MS is about to peak or at least I hope it's not gonna get any worse. I've been feeling awful all day today, and have been sick 5-6 times and I think the worst is still to come as I usually feel worse in the evenings. I keep going to bed at 8-8.30 pm just because can't take the nausea and feeling sick.

Anyone else constipated as well? I remember being constipated towards the end with my last pregnancy but not this early on.

 

[frangi33]

Ugh it's up down up down at this stage isn't it. One minute I feel fine and the next I feel like I'm about to pop with bloat or throw up lol

 

[MelliPaige]

Eating a slice of lemon before bed has helped my sickness the next morning. It still comes but it's not as bad. Weve stocked up on them but I forgot last night and could tell the difference. But I like lemons and maybe others dont, so maybe some other kind of citrus would help..but it has worked well for me

 

[Babylove100]

Dimmu- i hope you feel better soon

I haven't actually been sick, thank god, although sometimes I wonder if I'd feel better if I did. But I hate being sick so I do everything I can to stop it from happening.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Mine is all over the place. I think it has gone and them wham I just spew my guts haha. A few weeks ago I ate two chips and immediately threw up. So it's always triggered. I don't just wake up and be sick iykwim. It'll be over soon though girls =) hang in there !

 

[Babylove100]

That's tough Rhi!!

Okay, I'm going to be thankful I just only have the nausea deal with

 

[not_so_easy]

My nausea is finally tolerable at 10 weeks now. Comes and goes throughout the day. At 6-8 weeks it got really bad and definitely worse at night...I hear ya dimmu...I had trouble going to sleep because of it. I started getting the ginger candies and hv been eating dinner earlier which I think helped.
As for the constipation...dimmu, I'm with u now.past 3 days have been killing me...my belly looks huge and now I hv to keep running to the bathroom to wee all the time...don't think it all fits. Have been focusing on fiber today and has helped so far.
Lucky you babytobe!
Rhi, sorry you get so sick you Chuck! I thankfully have only dryheaved but never actually lost it.

 

[dimmu]

Not_so_easy sorry to hear you're suffering with constipation as well! I also look huge, surprised no one at work has said anything as the bloat is just enormous! Really running out of space down there and look 4 months pregnant. I've had lots of fruit today, hopefully it will make a difference.

Today on my way home from work I was sick in a park. Thankfully it was getting dark but I was so embarrassed. People must think I've had too much to drink or something.

 

[babydustcass]

Other than bloat i really dont feel pregnant at all yet. I feel for you all with MS though, i had it horribly with DD and can relate to how down it can make you feel . I am watching and waiting for the onset, really hoping it never arrives.
I am feeling ok during the day but as soon as the kids are in bed, i want to follow them. I am managing throughout the day, probably because I dont have a physically demanding job. I can sit in one place all day, keep my brain occupied with the tele whilst I work, I also find my work quite relaxing so will probably work right up until the baby is born so I can take longer maternity leave.

So what have you done thats baby related today?
I've written a list, just one of many to come, Oh i do love a list This one is my wants and essentials purchase list. Now, I am just looking forward to finding out the gender and off to purchase all these cute things.
I also got my first midwife appointment for next Monday

Hello to the new ladies glad your joining us!

Sorry about everone who is dealing with ms. I have been pretty lucky so far only have felt off a few times.

I was finally able to hear baby's heartbeat on My doppler yesterday it was such a relief. I am heading to Disney Thursday with my youngest so the next few weeks will thankfully fly by until we tell family around Christmas
