June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Boo44 - You're able to have almost all fish/seafood as long as it's cooked , the amount will depend on the amount of mercury it contains - you're supposed to avoid eating big predator fish like shark and Marlin because they eat lots of other fish and so accumulate more mercury in their system then other fish and too much mercury is a no no.


I don't think I could drink if I wanted to - the smell with this and the last pregnancy makes me feel ill, I can't stand it on DH's breath either

 

[gaiagirl]

Yes, agree on mercury. I limit my tuna sushi reluctantly

Alcohol doesn't appeal at ALL to me either at this point so that is easy to miss...for now

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Mcflurrys and mcmilkshakes are fine aren't they??

I had 2 glasses of wine before I found out I was pregnant, but will probably just not bother touching it at all for the rest of the pregnancy, I'm not a big drinker anyway

 

[Boo44]

Oh no girls, I've just had some brown discharge it's my scan tomorrow. I keep thinking about my friend who last month went for her 12 week scan and baby had died at 11 weeks. I know it's not nice to talk about in here, but I'm totally on the ceiling

Brown spotting shouldn't be a cause for concern but I understand it's stressful nonetheless, I hope it all goes well tomorrow

 

[tinkerbelle93]

It's highly unlikely brown spotting would be a sign of anything bad. Have you had an early scan? Obviously it's devastating but what happened to your friend is very uncommon, usually the baby would have been lost a lot earlier xx

Hope all goes well at your scan tomorrow

 

[gaiagirl]

Thinking of you Boo, try not to worry though that sounds very benign. Loss at 11 weeks is very unlikely so just stay calm and you will feel much better tomorrow!

 

[Boo44]

Thanks ladies. I've seen baby at 7+ and 9+ weeks. There doesn't seem to be any more right now it was just on one wipe after using the toilet. Strange though as I had pink spotting after straining for the loo at 6ish weeks, yet I haven't had any issues like that today. I've had days with cramping but not particularly today. I always look for reasons for things to make me feel better but I can't find one here...

 

[Starlight32]

Boo, I'm praying for you and baby.

I rarely ate off limits pregnancy food even not pregnant, so I'm not missing anything being pregnant!

I'm still giving trouble eating because if bloat if indigestion. I have to eat very small portions. I'm worried about keeping up my weight for baby. I started out underweight pre pregnancy and gained about 8 pounds in the first 11 weeks. I've since lost 2 pounds. I hope I'm eating enough for baby.

Ladies I decided to change my due date to 24th based on a few things. Only one day, but it was bugging me to keep thinking of myself as a day ahead!

I've also changed mine to the 7th x

 

[gaiagirl]

Omg all I ever want it salty, carby, vinegary and spicey stuff.

Stressful tantrum filled bedtime = binging on buffalo potato chips and pickles 😦

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Gaia that's all I want to eat too!

Bus drove straight past me this morning. I cried then a man sat next to me with a coffee and I wanted to punch him in the face. It's barely 7am and I want thr day to be over

 

[gaiagirl]

I can't wait for second trimester!!!!!

 

[karlilay]

I'm the complete opposite with what I want to eat. Sweets and fruit all day!

 

[AngelofTroy]

Good luck with your scan today Boo!x

 

[Starlight32]

Boo, keep us updated!

One more day until second trimester!!! (my ticker is going by lmp but the dating scan had me two days ahead, which matches with when I actually stopped the birth control) the dr still kept my due date at the fifth because he said its close enough...

 

[Squig34]

Boo I hope all is perfect today! I know how stressful the brown discharge is but no pain or cramping with it are good signs. I'm still spotting brown but I'm fairly confident all is well with baby given my symptoms. I'll find out tomorrow I guess (ok I'm a little anxious!) Keep us posted!
