[Miss Bellum]

I have pretty much popped and definitely look pregnant now!


Cattie - Bought a manducca but not much else yet. Don’t think we need a lot this time around though.

Welcome Mummymana

Mellipage - congrats on your little boy x

Hollyness - I'm the same depending on what I wear! If I wear something a little tight then (I think!) I look pregnant. Otherwise I just look frumpy!

Caitie44 - I have started buying too! I love going to charity shops with my Mam & have found a few bits there. Just some super soft little jeans (that are just one size too small for my son!) & last week I got a little snowsuit type thing for €2.

Welcome MummyMana!! Congratulations!

Huge congratulations MelliPaige on your little boy!

AFM - I had an interesting day on Friday! I spent the afternoon with my Mam & I was absolutely fine. Then my mother-in-law dropped my little boy home & I was fine. Popped my son up for his nap, still fine. Then felt a tightness in my chest so went downstairs to get something to eat (thinking it might be GD related). Felt ok for a while then the tightness got worse so I went upstairs to lie down. All of a sudden I felt really hot & thought I was going to pass out. Called my Mam who came over & I threw up (a LOT). The pain in my stomach/bump was awful. Thankfully about 5/10 minutes later my husband got home & we went straight to the ER. It was terrifying. All the symptoms had passed by the time we got to the hospital but still got checked out just in case. Thank God everything was ok.

Oh my goodness Karry, that is so scary! I know sometimes that can happen if blood sugar dips too low So glad you are okay!

It wasn't even to do with my blood sugars! That was the first thing I checked & they were fine! They couldn't really explain it apart from saying that maybe it was a touch of food poisoning or a stomach bug. I was badly sick again when I got home & was sick the following morning but grand ever since. Very strange but at least the baby is ok!

Low blood pressure could be the cause I had something similar happen last weekend. I brought it up to my doctor she said it happens especially if your in the same position for awhile. I'd been standing.
So today I twisted for something and my side hurts. Relaxin kicks my butt all the time. I need a bigger bump to get in my way so I quit myself.

With my first son one night I all of a sudden had tightness in my chest, and it felt like a hot ball of lead on my stomach. I threw up until I couldn't anymore, sweats and everything. Turns out he made me allergic to fish, I still can't eat it without those symptoms coming back

 

[MelliPaige]

And Thanks everyone, now I know he's a He this pregnancy is so much more real to me and I'm getting nervous haha toddler and newborn doesn't sound fun! Time for us to go shopping. We bought his coming home outfit yesterday, I couldn't pass it up! With hero I picked his out at the end of my pregnancy, but this is seriously too cute not to come home in

 

[laughingduck]

Karry that is so scary! Im glad whatever it was is over and you and baby are ok. Maybe it is some sort of new food intolerance like Melli said. My daughter made me throw up every time I ate sweet potato. I can eat it without throwing up now but generally avoid the stuff, bad memories!

Melli that outfit is cute! I got mine for my son too, I will have to get a picture

That outfit is adorable!! I've made plans with my mom to go shopping for clothes Friday, I'm so excited lol. I can't resist any longer!

Cowgirl07 - The midwife actually suggested it could have been a dip in blood pressure! I hadn't been in the one position & my blood pressure was fine when they checked in the hospital but maybe that was it? It's about the only thing I can think that would explain it. Hope your side is better soon!

MelliPaige - That's really interesting! I hadn't eaten before hand & can't remember now what I ate that day but I'll definitely keep an eye on that. And the little outfit you bought is adorable! I'll definitely be going shopping immediately after our appointment, especially if it's a girl! And with my son as soon as we found out he was a boy we bought his "coming home" outfit with his name embroidered on it.

laughingduck - I LOVE sweet potato & for some reason have gone off it since getting pregnant. Also, there are some things that I threw up when pregnant before & I still can't look at them! I miss risotto!

 

[Hollynesss]

Very cute outfit Melli!

How are everyone's bumps looking?!

 

[karry1412]

Also, looks like I'll be having a spa day with my momma on Saturday!! And then lunch in one of my favourite restaurants with my two favourite men (hubby & son) on Sunday/Valentine's Day! Is it the weekend yet?????????

Also, MelliPaige - I just noticed that you're due on my birthday!

 

[karry1412]

Love the bump Hollynesss!!! Would you believe I have not taken one picture yet? I really must rectify that ASAP!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Side is much better thanks! I've always been klutzy pregnancy just makes it worse. My bump from the weekend.

Here's mine from last week

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

Karry, that sounds awful. You poor poor thing! I hope you're feeling okay. I had a couple of really horrible sudden stomach/vomiting phases with my first pregnancy. The sort of pain and tightness that went once I was actually physically sick. The doctor blamed gall stones or said it was heartburn/acid.
I hope it doesn't happen again Hun. Pregnancy is hard enough without these added things!

Gorgeous bumps girls! My twin bump is starting to come along now. I must post a pic once I'm on the laptop. I was expecting to be gigantic at this point with two in there but thankfully I'm still at that "is she just a bit chubby these days?" Stage of pregnancy! I can hear people thinking it

Had an awful few days. Little man has had a cold and cough virus and has been vomiting. Today is our first day without sick in three days and the first time he's eaten something. I've been up pretty much every 2 hours for half an hour at a time or more (clearing up sick, getting him water, settling him) for the last week. Today it hit me and I went dizzy and just felt awful. I called my mum and she came over and let me lay in bed for 3 hours while she cleaned and handled DS downstairs. I never ask for help but so happy I did. I feel so much better already. I now have a cold so that's not helping but I think the problem was/is just exhaustion. Hope my two little beans are okay. Counting down the days to see them. Hope they haven't felt my stress - it's been such a hard few days, I've cried a lot! I'm usually 100 miles an hour so it's hard for me to admit that "Ok. I'm exhausted. I need help."

Little man seems to be on the mend. He's eating a little, drinking and playing as normal. Hoping this is it now! Poor Bubba!

Hope you're all okay ladies x
