June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Lil_Pixie]

Definitely no multiples here. I've had two scans

Karli I'm so glad everything went well today. Beautiful pic!

I've felt so sick again today. Didn't get up in the night to take my pill so I couldn't have breakfast before work. An hour long bus journey on an empty stomach is a massive fail

 

[karlilay]

Thanks so much Pixie. I love coming in here to have a chat with you all, I love this group already. ❤️

I don't know anything about the nub theory. The longer I stare the more confused I get. Nice pic tho


I haven't had a scan so I'm probably the one carrying triplets. I joke. I would think it would be unlikely. This is the most Ill I have ever been with a pregnancy though. I'm secretly hoping it means a change of gender though! I love my boys and after my loss I'm more than grateful for a healthy baby, but I want to buy dresses dammit hahah

I've not had my scan yet.. but multiples don't run in our family so I'd doubt it we spoke about twins and both said we'd be freaked out would go from 2 to 4 would be nice but would also be hard!

 

[Boo44]

I'm backkkkk! All was fine, baby was wiggling away, I forgot how amazing it is to see.

I have a couple of pictures and a nub shot, which I asked her to take and she was happy to, so anyone got any guesses...?

Karli if that bright white line is the nub then it's parallel with the spine and I'd say girl! X

ETA I can't imagine asking the sonographers where I live for a nub shot, they'd probably look at me like I had two heads!

 

[Boo44]

Looks a girly skull to me too

Pixie I couldn't even contemplate doing anything before breakfast even yet never mind a journey! I was feeling quite pleased today because I tried porridge for the first time since I got ms, and I lasted after it until almost lunchtime this is major for me because I'm desperate to be able to stop having two slices of white toast every day to stop my nausea as I'm sure it's a major contributor to my weight gain

I don't know what's wrong with me but I'm developing a weight obsession actually. I literally can't stop eating 'bad' stuff that I know helps nausea. But I'm beating myself up about the weight thing.. It's odd because with my second I didnt gain too much at all and I've started the same weight as I did then, but I feel I'm gaining much quicker now. Probably because I'm older and my body is giving up quicker, like oh not another one!!!

I can't imagine asking either I'd feel abit awkward for some reason

 

[AngelofTroy]

I'm gaining weight fast now, despite the nausea. I am beating myself up about it too. I want a bump but I'm putting it on all over instead.. Which is not surprising as I eat so much at the moment to try to stave off the nausea that accompanies the slightest hunger!
I guess if worst comes to worst I'll just have to lose all the weight again like last time. But it'll be harder as I can't power walk for hours a day getting baby to sleep if I have plodding toddler along for the walk!!

I haven't had my scan yet, I am showing and have been feeling lots of movement this week but highly doubt it's twins because my BFP was late and so faint and don't think my symptoms have been strong enough. I'm likely showing already due to my 1/2 tub of Pringles per day habit (thanks to the ladies here who were raving about salt and vinegar crisps!) And my new fizzy drink habit because I can't stomach water or fruit juice any more.

I have been ill twice already this pregnancy It's awful being ill when you're already feeling sick and tired Isn't it. It seems to take me longer to feel better too.

 

[vaniilla]

No twins here, we were worried after the consultant saying it was more likely with clomid but just the one in there!

Boo44 - that's great news that you're keeping porridge down, hopefully the ms will go away completely soon.

I'm not weighing myself, I didn't even look at the scales at the booking app I don't care about it right now there isn't anything I can change so I don't want to feel bad.

I felt so bad last night, full of guilt at LO no longer being the only child and him having to share attention, this time last year I was crying he had no siblings go away stupid hormones!

joo - hopefully that's your lot and no more getting ill for the rest of your pregnancy!

Yay welcome to the salty crisps and fizzy drink club! Hopefully we won't need to be in this particular gang for much longer...

I've been feeling lots of definite movement too which is really strange knowing how early I am!

 

[Starlight32]

No twins here.. already had a few scans. I wouldn't mind twins as I'm a twin myself (identical so it's not genetic), but I would worry even more because it would put the pregnancy at high risk. I'm already worrying enough with one baby!

 

[joo]

I have been nagging my OH for crisps for a couple of weeks since I saw it on here and needed them. He does our food shopping and I banned them a while ago so he keeps.forgetting to buy them. I mad him go back out this week for crisps and appletiser.

The movements are weird because it is so early but definitely there. I recognised it straight away from being pregnant with DD, that strange rolling.sensation. I'm glad for you girls on here because if I told anyone in real.life I'm sure they wouldn't believe me!

I was hoping for twins first time around, this time I am hoping for just one. I think it would be better for twins first time around when you don't know any different. I can imagine I would find it much harder this time knowing at least half of what to expect and then also having DD to.look after/entertain and a house to run! Plenty of people.manage it though (my heroes!) X

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I always loved the idea of twins, but in reality I think I'd find it exhausting with 2 babies! I'm mainly hoping it's one for the reason twins are more high risk in general for pregnancy/delivery problems, having preterm/low weight babies ect.

I was just reading up on twin stats, 1 in 67 births in the UK are multiples but obviously that includes ivf and fertility treatment babies. Identical twins are 1 in 285 births and everybody has the same chance of them. But with non-identical twins they can run in families and other factors like age/ethnicity can make you more likely. Thought it was very interesting.

I just eat anything and everything, I'm definitely not thinking about weight gain yet. I stayed very very small last pregnancy though so didn't have to worry about losing weight post baby. Intrigued to see what I'll be like this time.

 

[Dory85]

A friend of mine actually told me she found her twins easier because they entertained each other.
Hubby's mum was an identical twin but don't think it passes that way. I have some distant relative twins (possible great aunts?) but that's it. I imagine I would have been far more unwell if it was twins.
Good luck for tomorrow AngelofTroy.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I suppose they would play and entertain each other I've not thought of it that way.

You're right twins will only run on the woman's side, and only non-identical as they are caused by a tendency to release more than one egg during a cycle. Identical twins are completely random when one egg splits in two. X

 

[GeralynB]

Twins run in my family plus my age...guess that's why I had almost twins but the second sac was gone at my 2nd sono

 

[Starlight32]

I'm feeling some heartburn (or indigestion?) I think from Thanksgiving. I didn't eat all that much overall, but I was a lot for basically one sitting.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I have dropped from 128lb to 123 lb this month. Crikey. I have been trying to get to 120lb for about two years hahaha. Bitter sweet. However none of my jeans will do up ! So I'm stuck in a dilemma really; I haven't had a scan so I don't want to go out and buy maternity jeans just yet but I'm super uncomfortable. Ughh
