June 2013 first time bump buddies wanted

[Ylanda]

Aw, I see! that's sweet!

Haha, glad it's not just me who's worrying about silly things!

 

[pinkwaters]

I always tell people I'm pregnant after a scan, so whoever I didn't tell after my 9 week scan I will tell after my 13 week scan, it kind of re assures me that baby is there ;D

I guess we all worry, I've been having weird tiny pain like pinches near my belly button today, could be uterus stretching still. I doubt that's the baby its way too early to feel anything

 

[CatchBabyDust]

no doubt..the scans are just sooo adorable its so amazing how clear the tongue one is!!..I would love to see something like that on my next scan...It'll be on december 12th!! so thats 12/12/12 and ill be 12 weeks loool! interesting..

 

[No Doubt]

Pink its probably round ligament pain...just things stretching.

Catch maybe that'll be good luck for you!

 

[Ylanda]

How many scans do you ladies get throughout the pregnancy?

 

[No Doubt]

I haven't gotten a set number so I guess whatever they think is necessary.

 

[Ylanda]

In the UK you get 2, one at 12 and one at 20wks. Additional scans are only available if you have private health insurance (which is pretty much a luxury here) or of you're high risk...

 

[pinkwaters]

In Kuwait I go to a private hospital so I pay for most of the scans because I was high risk - already had 2 done and third one next Thursday - I think after that it's once a month in 2nd tri then every 3 weeks in 3rd

That's what I heard

Catch amazing date coincidence ;D December is around the corner YaY!
I feel like I have a tiny bump already, it looks like extra belly fat when I sit but hey when I stand its a bump ;p

 

[CatchBabyDust]

Thanks pink!! haha its weird!... oooo Ur scan is soo close!! Good luck and share a scan picture

 

[pinkwaters]

Yes! So excited! I definetly will!!

So question - the baby by 12 weeks, just under belly button? Sorry maybe stupid question but I can't feel the uterus like some poeple can. Have no idea where he/she really is right now ;D

 

[CatchBabyDust]

i dont know how to do that way either..but i remember from the times where the dr placed the u/s doppler lol..dont know if its right..but mine is on the left but im sure after it grew it went up a bit or something?

 

[Ylanda]

Good morning!

I'm having a pretty good one so far, am working from home today to stayed in bed until 8:50am, put on my dressing gown and am just slowly getting going now. I worked late yesterday so today is a skive day!

I had a sip of water and half a bread stick in bed (as I've been doing for the past few weeks) but today I actually managed to do the dishes and potter around a bit before I needed my proper breakfast. I could feel in my tummy that I was getting hungry but I didn't feel sick! This is definitely progress in the right direction, whoop whoop!

Oh dear, better get some work done now.

 

[pinkwaters]

That's great Ylanda, glad that you're feeling better!!!
Hopefully everyone here will get a nice energy spike closer to 2nd trimester ;D I managed to have a nice lunch at work today - a nice vegetarian sub with some lemonade and just had my fruit cup. I hope things stay that way

Catch, I've only had 2 transvaginal so no Idea what side baby is, but it does feel like the bloat is rising up! I find it confusing! I'll sure find out in a week at the appointment though

 

[Ylanda]

Hello ladies!

Here's a question for you - possibly tmi, sorry!

Ever since my last period was due in October and I was in that anxious TWW before I got my BFP I have had quite a lot of CM. I remember it started back then because everytime my panties felt wet I ran to the loo to check if AF had arrived. I was just wondering if that's normal, if you guys have/had it too, and if it goes away. It's the sort of creamy sticky type, similar to what I used to get before EWCM. Related to this, my smell has gotten a lot stronger, both down below, the CM and my pee smell a lot more than what I'm used to. It's not necessarily an unpleasant smell, it's just way way stronger. I'm inclined to attribute everything weird my body does these days to the pregnancy but I thought I'd check with you ladies what you think.

Sorry for the over-share and thanks for any advice/experiences.

 

[No Doubt]

Maybe try drinking more water for the smell. You could just be dehydrated. My hubbs urine is stronger when he doesn't drinks enough water. I've always had loads of creamy cm after af so that's not unusual for me. But it is considered to be a sign of pregnancy for some. I'm sure it's all normal. As long as there is no pain or no odor that you think is weird or gross I think it's ok. How that I'm preggo I sometimes get globs of creamy cm, but they say that can be attributed to the placenta taking over the production of hormones. They say happens around when you're moving into 2nd tri and that's when it started for me...the globs I mean.

You could also ask about vaginosis as preggo women are more prone to that.

 

[CatchBabyDust]

I had the white creamy sticky cm before i found out i was pregnant..and also still happening...its pretty normal i guess...i heard u'll have that through out pregnancy along with the wet feeling...I try to take a shower twice a day...or once whole body ..and then at night waist down..because it did smell at first..not something yucky but something strong that actually made me gag.. as for the urine mine also smells..dr made me do a urine analysis and thats when they found lots of crystals..she said i wasnt drinking enough water..she gave me just some "urisoda" for three days and she said that i have to drink 2.7 liters of water..it did work and my urine didnt smell as strong anymore...but now..for the past few days i've been bad and havent been drinking enough so the strong smell is back..i guess as No doubt said just stay very well hydrated ...and everything ur asking is normal and not tmi at all

 

[pinkwaters]

Hey Ylanda,

I still get that every few days and when I asked everyone said it was very normal, it was less 2 weeks ago, yesturday almost felt like I was ovulating. Maybe it's a first trimester thing?

 

[pinkwaters]

How are you ladies doing today?

I'm working on a weekend haha it's actually not too bad, I find that when I'm home all day I eat less and then get dizzy and nautious but when I'm moving I make sure I get energy snacks all through the day

No more coffee for me though, I was having some sparingly like 2-3 times a week but I'm starting to find it acidic on my stomach Tea will do for now

My parents finally moved on Thursday and I'm all settled in with them until DH is back

Any scans this week - 27 you've been missing how's everything going?

 

[No Doubt]

Ylanda o was also going to say maybe try wearing a panty liner. I wear everyday just in case. I don't like that wet feeling and they help to mask the odor.

27 where are you? You better not be vacationing without us again, lol.

No scans for me this week. Probably won't have another until the gender scan then after that who knows if anymore. I'm still not finding out , but hubby is. Nothing else new going on with me. Oh, I did finally break down and go buy some maternity clothes last night so maybe now I can be comfy and Thumper can stop being mad cause I'm squeezing her with the band and my pants, lol.

 

[pinkwaters]

Haha glad you got your hands on some comfortable clothes - I think will definetly help second trimester around the corner!

Hmmm maybe 27 is vacationing again - I can't say I'd be jealous - working on a Saturday and all

In Kuwait they have a scan each month after the gender scan I think, meh, I guess I'll find out pretty soon
