June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Yeah, I just want to get ahead of the problem now, My initial treatment has been totaled at 460! That's before i decide what to do with my teeth long term, as obviously they are dead, they are slightly faded atm but no one other than a dentist can really tell. The worry is though that they could crumble over time or go black :/
Because the two that are damaged are the top front ones(one is already pinned in place since i was 11) placing a bridge is going to be very difficult. 11 year old me has some explaining to do. I'm very annoyed at her. My children will never be allowed roller skates hahah.


Teeny - Fingers crossed. I had two techs doing my scan and the first one got up and walked off whilst the other was still looking and the other one asked her if she wanted to confirm and she said "ohh sorry i already decided several minutes ago"
They then explained it was an obvious girl due to "having three lines which is the important thing" I can't see three lines, but w.e haha. Then the one that had wondered off came back with a pink bag "your first pink thing" haha. So hopefully they can't both be wrong eh.

Starlight - yeah the blood is another charming pregnancy side effect. Glamorous we are not. haha.

Oh god my teeth are awful, I do have an nhs dentist and she's lovely but she's really young and beautiful and I feel like a Jeremy kyle reject when I have to visit. I've avoided it for a while

Someone asked my boss if I was pregnant today. When I had Xander I loved growing a bump and felt really comfortable with it. This time it just looks like even more fat to me and I hate it. My mum told me I look way more than 17w and should just cut my losses and book a section it just makes me cringe. I need to get some loose floaty tops to cover it ip

In the winter my sinuses get very dry because of the heat in the house. Sometimes there's blood because of that. Using a humidifier and saline spray helps. My skin gets so dry in the winter. I hate it.

I definitely have the bumpy skin all along my jawline and whatnot. Don't think it's necessarily acne thought but it's something I've never had before in my life. My skin is also so incredibly sensitive it drives me crazy. This one is definitely stealing my beauty as the old wives tale says. And I've started back up with the stuffy nose and blocked sinuses in the mornings. Such a joy! Luckily that clears up throughout the day.

Boosted it's you with the gender reveal, correct? What are you doing for the reveal? I've done one with both babies now and just love gender reveals! There are so many cute ideas out there it was hard to decide on just one each time!

 

[MiraclesHappn]

Oh and rhi I'm glad someone is finally taking your dental health seriously! That's so frustrating that it took so long to be taken seriously.

Good luck today geralyn!

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?

sorry hun that stinks! and yes i have a LOT of rolling. like a bowling ball. that was some of my first movement going on in there. it's crazy. i have a lot more kicks and less rolling these days but i still get it occasionally.

also second tri is known for sinus issues. i had terrible sinus headaches for a while there. But now it's moved on finally. i was waking up with a streaming nose ugh. nothing worked but plugging the nostril with tissues.

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!

I am a uk 16 although I suspect that with all the vomitting I may now be a 14. I find that when I put loose and floaty things on it just makes me look big where as maternity tops and trousers are a blessing as they just make me look pregnant and not fat, thankfully.

I too look very big for 18 weeks, if one more person asks me if I'm sure there is only one in there I will not be responsible for my actions.

Peacocks had a great sale on and had quite a few maternity pieces included in it, have a look online and see if there is anything you like. I got a pair of black maternity leggings from H&M which are a godsend, I could live in them and am regretting now buying 7 pairs, one for each day!

Cute clothes Teeny!

That picture is cool Vaniilla although I'd like to slow it down a bit so I can guess where I am sadly my tummy didn't start out that flat!

Oh wow Rhi that's shocking!! I'd be tempted to book a follow up appointment with the NHS dentist you saw, but when you get there aka if they remember you and what they did and then what's actually going on in your mouth!! Or at least send a written complaint in, it's ridiculous they didn't pick any of that up.

I am having the blocked sinuses and bleeding in the nose again, my nose streams when I wake up and I have to roll up a nose tampon I thought I'd cracked it for the last month because I put a bowl of water on the bedroom rad and turned it down to 3 and have been waking up fine, but no it's back again. I've also had a headache for 3 days now, go to bed with it and wake up with it. I only take 1 paracetamol a day but it doesn't touch it.

I'm really jealous of everyone feeling movement. I'm still only occasionally feeling something really faint and can go days at a time with nothing.

Joey what are the H&M leggings like? I was actually going to post in here for advice because I am after some black maternity leggings but didn't have much luck with last pregnancy, they all went really baggy at the knees.

Have any of the UK ladies received their maternity exemption card yet? It struck me last night I haven't got mine, can't remember quite how far along I was with DD when I got it last time xx

 

[Tinky_82]

Does this look overly large for 19 weeks? I am sooo much bigger than last time - I started off with extra weight.

 

[mommyxofxone]

not at all tinky esp with it not being the first. i'm about that, and i'm 19 weeks tomorrow

 

[joo]

teeny I am pretty similar at 19 weeks, may be a bit bigger if it's after 6pm x

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I think your bump looks great. I've tried to upload mine but it says the file is too large

Joo I'm so glad you mentioned that! I forgot to send off for mine, the firm's still in with my notes. I'm going to so that right now!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Joo - I don't have mine yet either!

Tinky- I think you look lovely =) that's a great bump for this stage! I still have nothing. Cept my jaffa cake tum. I am loving the jaffa cakes Lately haha

 

[joo]

Pixie what form do we have to send off? I haven't been given any forms x

 

[Lil_Pixie]

My midwife gave me a form at my booking in appt to send off for my exemption card. I held on to it because I hadn't got far enough to need it in my previous few pregnancies but I foot all about it

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I filled mine out in the office, so if you didn't take one away with you. Perhaps you did it when filling out all the other paperwork

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I think it's called an FW8 form

 

[Squig34]

What is the maternity exemption card? Is it just an English thing? I've never heard of it. Here we get a form MATB1 at the 20 week scan, could that be it or is that something different?

 

[Lil_Pixie]

No this is so we can have free prescriptions and dental care
