June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[GeralynB]

I will find out gender at our anatomy scan. Dh and I both want to know. Geralyn I'm so jealous you have an "in" with scans lol.
With dd and ms I got right out of bed and ate rice krispies (no taste, no smell) which kept the gagging at bay. I tried to eat every hour so I never got hungry. I sucked on lemon candies for weeks, it helped huge!

Yeah I took full advantage of that and had her do a bunch of scans especially in the beginning when I couldn't feel him moving yet...definitely helped put my mind at ease.
Last pregnancy I felt sick from week 6-9 only in the evening. I'm not looking forward to that. I had a lot of food aversions during the first trimester so I'm currently eating whatever I want right now since I know soon I'll only want cereal and chocolate milk lol

Secondnote I called te day after af was due lol. 4+1. They do teaching appts here- and that's scheduled for just before 6 weeks. They want to do my blood work and have all that done for me before i see the Dr at just before 9wks. I couldn't wait so I just called

Do you take vitamin b6 on top of your usual prenatal vitamins? Does it help nausea?

Yep! I actually take half a b6 pill in the morning and half a b50 complex before bed. A lady I work with said she uses a liquid form of a b complex and it worked almost immediately and she hasn't been nauseous a day since. You're just not supposed to take more than 100mg a day.

I should go to bed but im busy helping hubby work out harmonies for the Christmas Choir rehersal tomorrow night

 

[GeralynB]

I guess I need to start talking prenatal vitamins...it totally slipped my mind.
My hips are hurting when I lay down...this happened last time too pretty early on. Guess it's time to break out the pregnancy pillow

I forgot how miserable it was to get up in the middle of the night all disoriented just to go potty lol. I have no morning sickness yet. Which is unusual. I usually have it by 6 weeks. I did with both of my girls. Maybe that's a sign that this is a boy. The one we are wanting as our last!

 

[southernbound]

Oh gosh all the ms talk is terrifying me. With ds I had it from 5 weeks until after birth, including while in labor so the closer I get to 5 weeks the more nervous I get. I feel good now but it's like a time bomb

On a happy note, scan in the morning! Yaaay!

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Anyone feel just miserable? I don't mean ms or discomfort but just ready to rip someone's face off? All day I have felt this way and have said to dh and ds that I need to be alone as I am so incredibly ittitabke. I hope tomorrow is a different story.

 

[lynnikins]

Got up this morning and had cramps while walking about gonna have to Remeber that I probably shouldn't do some of the physical stuff I normally do

 

[AngelofTroy]

Well *touch wood* I feel much better this morning. I'm wondering if it's because on Sunday I forgot to take my vitamins (b6 especially) that I felt so awful yesterday morning?

I upped my dose yesterday to the full 100mcg and today I feel better. I don't know if it's just coincidence but I'm willing to try the higher dose for a few days and see.

 

[lynnikins]

It's good you are feeling better Hun

Hello everyone haven't popped in for a while, will catch up with everything tonight. Hope your all well. I'm feeling good, I don't have MS but I do just feel off food. Other than that no other symptoms really.

I'm so jealous of everyone in the US who get early scans... I have my first midwife appt at 8 weeks. Where they will do bloods etc. Just seems to far away!

Hey your in Northampton? Im in Wellingborough so not far away. my first appointment is 7+3 on the 29th, I know a Student MW in Northamptonshire she was supposed to come to my last home birth but was away the week DD was born, shes a Yr2 now so you might see her during your pregnancy.

I get totally jealous of US ladies and early scans too, i've had early scans with ds3 because of bleeding but wouldn't want to go through that to get a scan, I am going to put away some cash though and get an extra scan with this baby privately so we can take the kids

depends where in the us! my old home they didn't do them til 12 weeks. this one, they do them at 8-9 weeks. but i'd rather do the 12 so i can see an actual baby

 

[MiraclesHappn]

Ugh so I already got randomly hit by my first pregnancy migraine last night they always start off with me seeing spots of light and my vision gets all weird so I know it's coming then when it hits it is unlike any migraine I've ever had before. Luckily last night it hit right before bed so I was able to sleep it off as soon as it started but now I'm just super panicked and stressed about how I'm going to deal with these again with a toddler to care for and dh being gone so much. It went away fairly quickly throughout the night but left me with an empty stomach, weak and shaky and dry heaving this morning. Today of all days I have to work a double at work too. I just have no idea what I'm going to do about these.

Ok, really, 19DPO, i think this is a sticky baby. Emailed midwife and will hopefully get bloods done today. Feeling hopeful!

Looks good joey! X

I lost my last strip from a couple of days ago but did another this morning and panicked as nothing showed up for a minute or so. It ended up darker than the last one was. I really don't know how I am going to get through the next 7 weeks before my scan, I'm just so worried about every little thing
