June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Boo44]

They say something about girls stealing your looks or something don't they? Maybe you're all having girls! I'm not a lot to write home about by any means at the moment but my skin has been very clear ever since I got my BFP which is unusual for me! And I'm team blue xx

 

[joo]

My skin cleared up with DD, it has cleared up this time (I usually get pimples on my shoulders and just generally crappy skin on my face) but it's just so sensitive at the moment. Angel I am suffering with my hands too, they're so dry and cracked and sore. I've been using coconut oil on them as apparently it's some wonderful cure all oil but haven't noticed any difference, I put I down to the Weather though xx

 

[vaniilla]

I'm sorry/glad that it's not just me feeling like this, I was hoping pregnancy would have me looking like a youthful goddess of sorts

I'm getting dry hands too, I'm sure it's the weather as I get every winter.

I don't know if anyone else reads the guardian but they've had a large number of articles on childbirth lately, I had a moment earlier thinking god that will be us in the not too distant future, I really don't want to think about it

I think it just depends on your pregnancy. I know with both of mine now my skin clears up! Hair is looking nicer than normal and I haven't had any pimples. And different genders. So doesn't seem to matter for me. I normally have super greasy hair and its been so much nicer since second tri

I have my anatomy scan tomorrow. I'm nervous but excited at the same time

 

[Starlight32]

Such cute dino clothes!!

Do you sometimes feel movement that feels less like a kick and more like roll? I don't know how to describe it. I feel it sometimes and it seems like it's where baby would be, but then I start to wonder if it's something else inside? I also feel taps which is more like baby poking/kicking out I guess?

I'm having bad stuffy nose and sinus pressure!! Anyone else?

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Starlight baby still has plenty of room to do flips in there. The rolly/washing machine feeling is probably baby gymnastics!

I keep waking up with a stuffy nose but not sure if it's a cold or not.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

My nose feels blocked this morning but I know it's my abcess flaring back up =( I had to go private in the end to get my teeth looked at by anyone that wasn't a complete moron. The nhs dentist was basically a revolving door of people given 5 minutes each. Well put it this way : I seen the nhs dentist in December who was unconcerned with my abcess or my gum pain etc. I finally booked myself in privately and found out my two front teeth are dead! And have given me stage three gum disease :/ due to have the pulp removed next week. What a nightmare it has been. Is it really that hard to get a decent dentist ?!

This is the excuse I was giving DH a few days ago (not that he is criticising how I look, far from it!)

Wow Rhi that's awful. I'm glad you're getting sorted but it's ridiculous you're having to pay for it. I have 'pregnancy gingivitis' - admittedly mostly cleared up now but will likely come back in 3rd tri - it's typical in 1st & 3rd tris. I know what you've said sounds like you're well past that though. Good luck getting sorted.

Hope all is well Geralyn!

GeralynB - good luck with your scan tomorrow!

starlight - constant blocked nose and nosebleeds here

Rhi - wow, that's crazy! are you on antibiotics now? there must be a way to treat the gum disease, it sounds very painful. I wish I could say I'm surprised but I'm not, my nhs dentist experience made us go private, most of my treatment was fixing their mistake, it makes me so angry! if I was loaded I'd sue.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Rhi, im sorry to hear about the problems with your teeth. I hope the new dentist gets you sorted out quickly.

My little sister is so good to me. She bought me some beautiful bits for baby girl. I love Ted Baker. However, it made me spend more money as I bought DD the matching coat to the snowsuit for next winter so she can be the same as baby!

 

[vaniilla]

those are so cute and floral!

 

[Starlight32]

I noticed blood when blowing my nose the other day. It wasn't gushing out though, is that still a nosebleed? I'm not sure why blood was mixed with my snot! Haha that sentence is a bit icky.

No I was on them over Xmas and it has gone down. The abcess is there but it's not active.. well it's started to hurt again today. It's more annoying than agony tho but that's probably because my tooth is dead.

I Agree about being angry though. I love the nhs(for the most part haha) but the dental care is really lacking. I'm seeing a hygienist once a month after I have the pulp taken out. So that should take care of the gums. Thank god =)

The difference in the quality of care was shocking. Nhs dentist charge 20 quid to poke u in the mouth for five mins and ignore your mouth basically. Private dentist charges 51 pounds and spends an hour looking at my teeth. Including xrays. Etc.

I do need a root canal but he wants to wait until after baby. So he is going to remove the pulp and "dress it" until later in the year. I'm moving the kids over to this dentist I think. Under my denplan they are covered for their appointments AND to see the hygienist.

OMG... Off to the Ted baker website !!!! So cute. I'm not going to buy anything though. I'm still worried she will grow a Willy by the next scan hahah

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Me too Rhi. But the sonographer said she was 'very sure'. Let's hope so!

i have a cold, and pretty much every time I blow my nose there is blood. It's a pregnancy thing and nothing to worry about. Xx

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Oh, I nearly forgot. I got to cuddle my 5 day old nephew yesterday. He is so tiny (7lb). He smelled so gorgeous. I love babies! Lol xx

 

[Tinky_82]

Sorry Rhi that sounds horrible - I gave up on nhs dentists as they seemed to just fix things if they caused a problem which can be too late. The private dentists seem to do preventative stuff which I prefer - keeping in top of issues.

The dental care definitely is a big problem and it's partly because of the way it's managed, the difference in standards is shocking, none of them are really NHS staff they just accept work for them - taking the money and doing shoddy work in a lot of cases.

Kids being covered is a bonus, our dentist sees children as nhs patients if their parents go there.

Has anyone seen this of your organs moving in pregnancy? I saw it on fb and thought it looked cool if not a bit scary
