June Bundles of Joy - 2016

We're in catchment so I'm hoping there won't be issues, he's starting at the school nursery there in a couple of weeks so it will be so ideal for him to go to the reception as he's not great with big changes and new places. Over the next 9 months it's going to be new house in a new town, new nursery, New sibling and no longer being an only child then fulltime school!

I've read that from 16 to 20 weeks baby quadruples it's size, maybe why I'm so hungry at the moment lol?

That's what happened to us new house new area and new school :lol: but having time to settle into it all before baby comes luckily as well be nearly school holidays too which is perfect :lol:

I can definitely say I've grown a lot between 16-18 weeks I noticed how my belly has ballooned randomly and I'm always hungry but in ever know what I want to eat :lol:
 
Sickness is driving me nuts it's on/off I thought it would vanish but :nope: I get a random urge I need to be sick not sure if stress is causing it though
 
Beccy - stress definitely will have an effect on your nausea, it might not be causing it but it will be exacerbating the problem, I hope it goes away for good soon, make sure you're doing all you can to relax and unwind.

I'm still not able to eat meat, most fish, spicy food, chocolate or anything rich and it's really annoying, I was hoping to eat normally soon!

Is anyone else having problems with sleep? napping earlier in pregnancy has left me craving naps in the day - if I give in I'm up till 1 / 2 am unable to sleep! I'm forcing myself to stay awake this morning.:sleep::coffee:
 
Beccy I'm glad that baby is due in June as it will give DS a few months to adjust before starting school, I'd be feeling more worried with a September due date I think that would be a bit tough on him! And since he will start when baby is 3ish months, I'm hoping he/she will be sleeping a bit better than the newborn stage so the early morning school runs won't be too bad!

Vanilla I'm struggling with sleep, I feel exhausted through the day but then I actually have the opportunity to sleep at night I feel really restless and keep randomly waking up in the early hours unable to fall asleep again.
 
Thinking if you vanilla :hugs:

I'm struggling with sleep in that I can't get enough! I am always tired. I've come off my sickness meds this week and I'm back to throwing up a couple of times a day now as a result, but I felt it was time to try to manage without them. I can't believe I'm so sick in pregnancy and yet I'm still gaining so much weight surely the only benefit of hyperemesis should be less weight to lose at the end?!!
 
So sorry to hear of your loss Vaniilla :hugs:

I am still struggling hugely with sleep - terrible insomnia. But my nausea is definitely improving; I still have it but it's less intense now so that I was actually able to do some things last night :)
 
AngelofTroy - oh no, do you definitely have to stop taking the meds? are you able to slowly reduce it so you're not being ill quite as much.

I'm sorry to hear everyone is having trouble with sleep, it really sucks! you'd think mother nature would want us to build up some good hours of sleep before our babies arrive and it all goes out of the window!
 
So sorry for your loss vanilla :hugs:

I've been struggling with sleep. I'm really restless and can't get to sleep, then I randomly wake up loads of times in the night and get up for work at 5. I fell asleep on the way to work this morning :dohh:

I thought my ms was gone but nope. I had to run home to be sick after work yesterday and I've felt like dog poo all day today.

And I put 2lb on this week. Salad for lunch today!
 
My hips are really hurting at night and it is making it very uncomfortable to sleep. I toss and turn so much.
 
Sorry for ladies still experiencing MS :hugs:

I can't believe I'm 17 weeks today, and that there's a September bumps group too. It's just flying by!
 
i'm so sorry vanilla :( thinking of you during this difficult time :(

i like the name nora! all my suggestions to dh got rejected though lol. he didn't like anything i liked.

tink i agree. seems to be so fast, i can't believe 2 weeks til i find out what i'm having and four til half way. how did that happen?


starlight your scan is in 6 days right? have you guys decided what you're gonna do yet?
 
AngelofTroy - oh no, do you definitely have to stop taking the meds? are you able to slowly reduce it so you're not being ill quite as much.

Well nobody said I had to but I was down to 1 a day and I've been on them a long time. Originally my GP would only prescribe them for 5 days at a time, and in the end I was on them for over 2 months. I couldn't cope before as I was sick 20+ times a day and nauseous all day. Now I'm only sick about twice a day and only nauseous all day once or twice a week, I figured I should try to cope without. I dunno. I go backwards and forwards, I still have some for bad days.
 
Really sorry vaniilla that's sad.
Sorry to ladies still sick I feel nauseous if hungry or tired but it's now very manageable.
 
Will catch up properly when I take my sorry ass off to bed. I have got the worst cold ever.
Feel absolutely rubbish, and I would rather have morning sickness back than this. :(

14 days till me next scan, really nervous for this one, as it seeks so important, and daunting. I also fear my little miss might have grown a willy :haha:
 
Any of you ladies have any experience of fibroids? I seem to have grown one since last scan. It's a bit painful but I gather they're not uncommon & my consultant isn't too concerned. Nor am I at this point really; baby's growth was fine which is the main thing for now.
 
Squig I have no personal experience but know of two ladies who had lots of fibroids during pregnancy - both had healthy (overdue) babies. I remember them having a lot of discomfort though so hopefully you just get the one.
 
Hi ladies i have the first :blue: bump of the group!!!!

Had my 16 week scan today to check baby's kidneys. Sadly baby has the same kidney disorder as my first son which is quite scary but at least this time I have the experience of everything being ok before so that's good. When they told me the kidney wasn't good and had to check all over for other anomalies I was terrified hoping he would be ok. Now I know he's a he I wonder why I ever thought it could be a girl, it feels so right! This is the first time I've found out the sex and I'm so happy I did it has made it seem real and exciting.

3 boys! A mum to three little sons! Am so excited.... keeping it a secret though for anyone who 'knows' me outside of here xx
 
Yay for a blue bump boo - sorry he has the same kidney condition but you know what to expect this time around. 3 boys will be fantastic.
 
Congratulations on your little prince Boo. sorry to hear he has inherited a kidney condition, but you sound like you have it all sorted. Xx
