June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[GeralynB]

I thought I felt something the other day. I felt my son at 12 weeks but I have an anterior placenta this time so maybe it's not baby I'm feeling

 

[Starlight32]

The doctor appointment was a bust. All he said was that it's impossible to get stones in the bile duct without a gallbladder (mine's been out for 7 years), so he didn't order any blood tests or a sonogram of the area. He said it's just indigestion. It seems a bit painful and too much in my chest to be indigestion, and tums & Pepcid don't help.

The only good thing about the appointment is that we got to hear baby's heart beat on the Doppler!

Sorry the doctor wasn't willing to do any tests Starlight, hopefully the pain will subside soon for you

I don't even know what type of placenta I had last time.. are you supposed to ask if you want to know?

It's was written on my 20 week scan reports both times.

I've definitely felt this baby move since a ridiculously early gestation of like 9/10 weeks. People will laugh but it's true

My first I felt at 21 weeks, and my second I felt at 12 weeks so it's been earlier each time xx

 

[Starlight32]

I'm really hoping I'll be able to feel baby by Christmas; what a great gift that would be! I'll be 17 weeks then though, so it still seems early for first baby.

Sometimes I get indigestion so bad my stomach and chest and throat are really painful. Once or twice I would have sworn I was having a heart attack. I'm on prilosec 20 mg daily but when it flares up I take up to 40mg twice a day. Having pain in the center of your chest is a huge indigestion sign... Amongst other things so it's best to be checked out... At any rate I would say if you continue to suffer a ppi medication might be a good bet for you and they are safe in pregnancy. Feel better soon.

Sorry you didn't get any help, Starlight.

That's weird, Joey!

No movement for me yet but then I wouldn't know what I was feeling! I've got my booking appointment on 22 December so two weeks tomorrow. I'll get a scan on Friday but I doubt I'll get another before booking but that's reasonable I suppose. Although I'll take it if offered!

I asked

Sorry the doctor didn't do any tests starlight, I hope it eases soon it sounds horrendous.

I've been getting dull cramps above the pubic bone lately, I don't know if that's down to walking or just regular pregnancy pain!

I get that often I walk quite often due to not being able to drive so everything includes walking but it could be that or just general I'm getting sharp shooting pains recently too but that's once a week thankfully

Bacne (acne of the back). Thank goodness it's winter!

 

[Starlight32]

I have breakouts on my back and chest. It's hard to cover my chest breakouts because they go up to my neck. I've had it since like 7 weeks so I'm use to it by now. It's better to have it in winter though, it actually doesn't bother me very much (I do hope it fades when baby is born!).

I thought it was going away at one point, but it came back a bit (I do think it is slightly better.. I started doing a better job at washing those areas though; that could be it lol)

 

[gaiagirl]

Starlight it does make sense that it would be indigestion/acid reflux. It can be incredibly painful.

Midwife couldnt find HB on doppler today...I'm not really worried as it's hit or miss for me right now and I did just hear it Saturday but still kind of a letdown and unnerving. I think she was worried she worried me...she encouraged me to come back in 2 days if I couldn't find it at home.

 

[Starlight32]

My doctor couldn't find baby's heartbeat at 12 weeks. He did a sonogram and we heard it. And he was able to find it today which totally made the appointment worth it . I think you're still early at 11 weeks.

 

[gaiagirl]

Found baby with 168 bpm hiding behind what I'm sure is anterior placenta.

 

[karlilay]

Is anyone else suffering sciatica? I get it so bad at night my right leg gives way.

 

[Starlight32]

No nerve pain yet! My nerves are very sensitive so I wouldn't be surprised if it showed up at some point.

We have our anatomy scan in 5 weeks!!

I'm glad you found it, sorry that the midwife was making you worry - it's still early to be hearing baby on a doppler - they're still tiny!

Is anyone else suffering sciatica? I get it so bad at night my right leg gives way.

I'm sorry to hear that I don't get sciatica but I got a lot of random leg cramps in the night with lo so it's probably going to happen again.


I have a cold AGAIN, that's the third time now this pregnancy


is 12 weeks too early to buy a changing bag? the one I want is on offer atm and I was thinking if all goes well at the scan to buy it but I'm not sure.

 

[MiraclesHappn]

I felt my first at 15 weeks I think. This time around I felt the small muscle twitch type movements at 11 weeks and thought I was crazy but dr ended up finding heartbeat right where I'd been feeling the movement. Yesterday I finally felt some bigger, more rolling type movement twice. Super anxious to be able to feel it from the outside so dd can feel some! I'm so interested to see her reaction!

Who all is finding out gender this month? Not too many I don't suppose but I thought there were a couple!
