June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Becyboo__x]

As bad as it Is with my son I didn't even check about coffee/tea intake I just drank as I pleased and he's fine

Now I can't hack any just water sucks had the odd tea but I just don't fancy it anymore I'm a huge coffee person though but that's a definite no for me atm

My son was called heffalump and that stuck even through his baby years
This one we always joked about the name "Cletus" so OH calls it Cletus the fetus but I'm sure if we find out.. and if it's a girl he will stop that

I am usually obsessed with coffee but I am grossed out by it at the moment. I had an aversion to it in my first trimester last time, too.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I've had an aversion to tea and coffee with all my pregnancies, but it hasn't kicked in yet. I'll stick to the nhs guidelines until I go off it.

Sil just called me a massive weirdo for asking for hot water when she was brewing up. I've had my two cups of tea today though

 

[tinkerbelle93]

According to the guidelines a cup of tea is the same caffeine content as a can of red bull? Surely not?

Lol I can't believe how much I'm reading up on caffeine but it's really hard, not drinking alcohol for 9 months doesn't even bother me in the slightest but it's a different story with tea and coffee

 

[wishuwerehere]

^^ agreed, i need my tea!!

 

[joo]

I have been guzzling tea like never before! Luckily all I ever have in is decaf tea and coffee. When I was pregnant with DD i couldn't stomach tea or meats, this time so far I can't get enough of both!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Not a tea drinker. Love my coffee though!

 

[Boo44]

So how much caffeine does 200mg actually equate to? I'm a terrible coffee addict and when not pregnant I'll have a flat white every day which has a huge caffeine content plus one or two Normal coffees and maybe some tea. I've actually cut right down to about one decaf coffee and one decaf tea per day now - woo! As of this morning my coffee aversion has kicked in and I'm craving tea. The exact same thing happened both of my other pregnancies

Right on cue today my nausea has built up I'm feeling so sad about it I was foolishly hoping I had missed it this time as I felt SO normal until yesterday. But I've just done two night shifts and the combination of the hangover from that plus the dreaded 6 week mark has had me feeling like crap today. I've felt a low level nausea all day and most of the afternoon slept on the sofa. I'm terrified this time I think I might have proper anxiety over it. I want to be able to look after my house like i like to, and do things and enjoy things with my boys like usual, not worry over how on earth I'm going to get through each day caring for them. Feel like I could cry!

Also who knows about the old wives tales is it right that crave sweet stuff it's a girl and crave salty it's a boy? Because I've been craving salt salt salt! And add that to the nausea appearing to the DAY the same as my others plus the tea cravings and coffee aversion, I'm fairly sure I have boy number 3 on board!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

There's 80 mg in a standard can of energy drink. But it's more complicated with tea and coffee as you can't always know the exact amount as can depend on how strong you make it ect. I remember from my pregnancy with DS 4 years ago it being on the news about coffee shops such as Costa and Starbucks and how the coffee sold there tends to have a high caffeine content and it being a worry for pregnant women who didn't realise.. I'm sure some of the large Starbucks coffees have the equivalent of 4 red bulls in a single cup x

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Oh and I think it's just old wives tales boo, most of them are proven to not hold any truth at all. I know the sickness one has an element of truth in it, it's been shown in studies that women suffering from HG are a bit more likely to be carrying a girl.. but I think with general sickness it doesn't make a difference.

Yes it's fun to guess though isn't it ! The Chinese gender predictor said girl for both of my boys so I don't bother with that one lol

 

[Becyboo__x]

I think all are different I asked my mum she has 2 girls her first my sister being horrendous with sickness and me her 2nd didn't have anything I've had a boy no sickness and mcs I had sickness from finding out and this one I have since 6 weeks

I've heard loads about being really sick it's more likly a girl every time I mention I'm not well to anyone they instantly say "oh maybe it's a girl this time" I think it can swing either way tbh sickness or no sickness it'd like to find out if it goes 1 way for each for me but this is my last baby

 

[jalilma]

For the past few days I've had cramps... Like at about to come cramps... And all I wanted was for them to go away because I was convinced something was wrong... Now I have officially missed af.. And today the cramps have gone away and I just want them to come back because now I think their absence means something is wrong.... I need a cookie or something.. I'm making myself nuts

The Chinese chart makes Micah a girl too!

I hope my fellow UKers got their extra hour in bed this morning. I did (because DD is at Grandma's!)

Sorry to hear your nausea has appeared on cue. I would fully recommed Cyclizine, my nausea is now bearable during the day and I'm usually only sick once first thing in the morning, before I couldn't even sip water until later in the afternoon and I had a normal breakfast today and even half a coffee!!

I have a feeling mine is another boy too as my symptoms are the same as with Micah so far. Do you have any more boy names?

Thanks, yes I did too because we're staying with in laws for the weekend! Micah woke us really early but MIL was more than happy to take him off my hands and I went back to bed.. Bliss!

I was the same with Jack and Freddie and again now! For a boy I like Henry, Arthur, George and Hugo - very traditional! I think OH may take some persuading on Hugo though!

Does the cyclizine make you drowsy or nauseous without vomiting? I'm always terrified of side effects. But if it ramps up I'm off to get cyclizine for sure sounds like it's great for you!

I didn't! OH snoring away.. then DS up at 5 shouting had to tell him 3 times to be quiet then OH had to get up and tell him again later he wasted pleased as today was his only ly in day oh well!

Half term this week so no school runs

 

[karlilay]

No extra hour for me, kids made sure of that lol. Up and watched some films and done the house work now I'm just trying to curb my sickness with rich teas.

My pregnancy this time is identical to my daughters. With my son I felt fine, no symptoms exept tiredness. With this one and Madi, I feel like death warmed up. I'm freezing all the time, I feel sick all the time. I hate food. I be sick all through the night, it's grim!
