July Sparklers 2016!

Melli nice pic! I almost think I see boy parts in there, but Im bad at looking at these things... Sorry to hear there's nothing they can do for your back. And of course you cant even soak in a nice hot tub.. Maybe yoga or walking could help?

Wantsalittle1, how fun you found out the gender! I just took a blood test yesterday and will find iut results in a week. Im excited!

Has anyone seen this thread? https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/g...ltimate-gender-prediction-outcome-thread.html

It has a huge quiz if all the gender prediction wives tales. I did it and 12 said girl and 4 said boy. My first hunch was a boy but niw Im not so sure!
 
Back at work but at least its been fairly quiet so have time to ease into it. I told my line manger and she was really excited for me. She didn’t think I looked that bumpy so either I am a bit too paranoid about it or my maternity dress hides it better than my normal clothes! She told her manager as well and she was also happy for me, but keeping it from the rest until after the scan.

Melipage - Sorry you didn’t get some help with your back, is there no physio or anything? Must have been worrying not to hear the hb. So pleased the scan showed all was well.


Babydustcass - Hope the results come back fine.

Dandj - Great photos

Wantsalittleone - Cant believe your friends would be so rude as to say something like that! It is entirely up to you if you want to share the gender or not. I wouldn’t tell other people if my OH didn’t know either. Its not something you need to justify to anyone else!
 
Miss Bellum, so glad your boss and manager are being supportive! It's always nerve wracking for me to think about the work reveal :/

I have no bump at all yet. Didn't show with my first until 5 months. I wouldnt worry about it, probably just means you have tight tummy muscles!
 
Go check out my post (link) in the gender prediction threads. Nobody is guessing :( posted my whole video I got of wiggly bean

Nothing as of now, he said if it gets worse to bring it up again and we will talk about a solution (like a chiropractor) then
 
Wantsalittleone - I was pleasantly surprised, so pleased I told them now. Hope your work reveal goes well when you are ready.

Laughingduck - Due date buddy! With my first I didn’t show for ages but I have a definite bump already! I'm was mostly worried it would give me away before I'm ready to tell people.

Melipage - How frustrating :( Hope it doesn’t get any worse for you.
 
Miss Bellum I thought I'd show sooner this time but maybe because it's been over 4 years since my kast, I wont. Time will tell! Im kinda jealous of women with early bumps :)
 
laughingduck, exciting that you'll know the gender results soon! Out of curiosity, which test did you take? I did VerifI(Progenity)
 
Wantsalittle1- how rude of people! It is your news to tell, and you are under no obligation to share it with anyone. My sister in law posted MY ultrasound photo and announced my pregnancy on Facebook before I got a chance to, and I was livid! I know that our loved ones are really excited about our pregnancies, but I wish people would be a little more respectful and let us share our news when we're ready.


I had to take an early 1 hour GTT last week and failed it by two measly points, so I had to do the 3 hour version today. I had insulin resistance before getting pregnant, which puts me at high risk for GD, so my doctor is testing early. I really hope I passed it!
 
Hollynesss no way I can't believe someone would do that! And I know what you mean, they are just trying to be supportive and excited but yes, I agree with you, people should think before they purposefully or inadvertently take the wind out of someone else's sails.

What a bummer that you had to take the glucose tests so early :( I dread those. I get very very sick when I fast, even if it's just waking up at 7 and taking the test at 8. If I don't eat the second I get out of bed, I feel horrible and it takes hours for my stomach to recover from it. With DS, I was told I likely had GD because of how large I was, and how large he was. I asked if I could just do a fingerprick after every meal for a week if I failed the 1-hour. That's how desperate I was to avoid the 3-hour test :/

Hoping you passed. I've known many moms who failed the 1-hour but passed the 3-hour. I think it's frustratingly easy to fail the 1-hour, and esp if you were only high by a couple of points, I think there's a great chance you'll pass the second test. Hope you get the results soon!
 
Im sorry wantsalittle1 your friends should respect your wishes in not wanting to tell your hubby, but that is great you know if it is a he or she, was it was u were expecting if you dont mind me asking.

I too am having back pain! It is so hard to lay down or sit up properly, i still havnt figured out a way to help it.

I feel for you hollynesss, last time i had the glucose test i fainted 30 mins before we were able to leave, but i passed the test! :)
I hope you passes too


How is everyone today?
 
ehj, yes, baby's gender is what I expected. We would have been overjoyed either way, but just knowing is really magical. I've asked DH many times if I can tell him, but he says Nope! He really wants to try to be surprised.

Are you going to find out?

So sorry to hear about your back pain. My back/hip pain got so bad with DS that I went on Flexeril. My doctor said that was really the only thing she could give me that was not a narcotic. It was an awful med, I quit it after three days and just dealt with the pain the rest of the pregnancy

How is everyone today?

I just did a pregnancy workout video on YouTube by Denise Austin and it helped my back a little. It started top hurt after a while but she switched it up and it was immediate relief. It probably won't last long but right now out feels better. Someone also suggested to strengthen stomach muscles but odk how well that'll work :shrug:
 
Im suck a sook with wanting to do anything other than walking as exercise while pregnant in case something happens.

That's greats wantsalittle1, me and my partner want to find out which should be in about 4 weeks :) i still have no gut feeling with this one so who knows
 
It's only 20 minutes long and mostly walking and stretches, and a little dancing haha I did the cardio one and I still feel better..and my back has been so bad I can't move so I was surprised
 
Well finally got a scan pic as well as actually heard the heartbeat today, that was nice.

I posted it on Facebook and couldn't help but notice that none of my family said anything...I am paranoid that my mom has told them all I am a horrible person (since I had tried to talk to her last month and we had an even bigger falling out). I know I shouldn't care what people think, especially if my mom was lying about me...but the thought that they would blindly take her side over mine still hurts. I don't even know that's what's happened but...who knows.

I feel like I've dealt with so much personal crap recently; I wish my relationships could just go more smoothly.

Other than that things are well, nausea finally gone and made all A's for my grades last semester. Have my Spring courses and idea for final project planned.

Sorry I'm MIA so much, just school and holidays and all this CRAP ughhh. Hope everyone is doing well.
