June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Becyboo__x]

Morning everyone. Got my 16 week appt tomorrow, then I won't see the midwife for ages. Will have the kids with me so hope she will listen for a heartbeat, we did get to see the heart beat and listen at the scan in Saturday, and they loved it.

Not sure if I should be asking anything tomorrow?! Might try and blag a thrush cream prescription though. Am I th wonky one that suffers badly with thrush while pregnant?

Sorry if my girl comment upset anyone. It's not just this group, I'm in another where they're all having girls too. And that definitely doesn't mean you won't get your girls.

I actually wanted this one to be a boy, because beleive me, I have two others. One of each, and my 7 year old girl was a dream, but she is such hard work now, where as Zach is a pleasure.

Hope everyone's ok...

Awh that was nice they got to listen at the scan I would of loved to take DS but he's at a age where he's likly to get side tracked by everything specially medical stuff he loves asking questions lol! I didn't ask much when I went just general I think unless you have anything you want to know or concerns.. I tend to get thrush when pregnant I think I'm starting to once it starts it just keeps coming back til usually end 30 weeks.

OH wanted another boy he was worried having a girl when she's older and I think girls are harder growing up just by my mum having 2 she suffered with us but secretly I think he's glad we finally will have a girl just a bit sceptical as we're used to boys he has his son and I have mine which OH has basically taken on as his own as well .. so it's new to us !

Congrats on a girl Ashley

 

[Starlight32]

Yay for more people knowing sex! Makes me feel like we are getting further along!!

 

[vaniilla]

I rang. They won't do anything until they get my swap back from the hospital. Which might be xmas eve. MIGHT. Sounds awful but I might go to the 8-8 and not mention that I am pregnant and get antibiotics that way. I'm not sure why they are being so funny about it. Something about making sure I get the right antibiotics... Sounds like tish tosh to me. I'm managing the pain with paracetamol =/ but now my face is numbing it's not as bad.

That's terrible, I can't believe how long they're expecting you to wait around!

 

[karlilay]

That really is awful. I cent beleive the fact your pregnant makes them not want to fix it faster. I feel so blessed with my doctors they're amazing.

Get some Amoxicillin, they're safe during pregnancy.

 

[Tinky_82]

Rhi try calling the midwife number - they may be able to push things along - worth a try

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Still poorly

I'm also getting worried.. not sure whether I'm overreacting but DH cooked some sausages on Sunday night and I had some in a bread roll. Halfway through eating it I realised they were still a bit pink in the middle so stopped. He'd cooked them for well over the required time so I didn't think anything of it, just left the rest. Anyway, last night which was less than 24hr after this I suddenly got really poorly with fever, headache and was also sick. I keep worrying I've got that weird food poisoning thing that I've read can cause miscarriage or brain damage to baby There's not a lot I can do as apparently you need to wait a few weeks to be able to get a blood test. I'm just hoping it's a coincidence and I've just got a normal illness.

 

[GeralynB]

Yay for a girl Ashley! 4 pink bumps in the group!

 

[MiraclesHappn]

Congrats ashley!

Rhi I'm so sorry you're having such trouble! As bad as a tooth abscess can be I'm so surprised they aren't taking it very seriously.

Joo I know what you mean. As we get closer to finding out I feel like I almost have anxiety about it. I am so ready to know so I can start getting used to the idea but I'm also dreading finding out because I will feel horrible to have any disappointment.

 

[mommyxofxone]

Found out we are having another GIRL!

congrats ashley that's so lovely!!!!!

congrats ashleyg!

Thank you so much to the people who have said they are/have been disappointed when they found out gender. For the last few weeks I have been really struggling, it's much worse than last time . But more so I just feel awful and guilty for feeling the way I do! I never thought I would

i actually cried during the ultrasound with my girl! i was so expecting a boy. BUT that disappointment thankfully only lasted til i was out and realized i could get girly stuff lol. but i know people (sil) who are still disappointed their children aren't boys like they wanted. (she has two children, one is 3 and one is 8 months, and she's still sad they're girls) I think i'll be happy either way but again, i still have that tiny preference (ok big) for another girl.

Still poorly

I'm also getting worried.. not sure whether I'm overreacting but DH cooked some sausages on Sunday night and I had some in a bread roll. Halfway through eating it I realised they were still a bit pink in the middle so stopped. He'd cooked them for well over the required time so I didn't think anything of it, just left the rest.

hun is dh sick at all? if there was something wrong with the meat he'd have gotten ill too i believe, i think likelihood is that you have a coincidence. since he ate the same sausages if it was food poisoning i think you'd both have gotten it. You could always CALL your dr and ask, even if you can't get a blood test, you'd want to put your mind at ease i think. give them a call

 

[jalilma]

The hospital I will deliver has private rooms too. I don't think I'd like to be surrounded by a bunch of people.

I saw the doctor again today. I was worried about baby and also wanted to check on the discharge. All looked good! I forget who else was having a lot of discharge... but apparently it's normal (I wanted to check for an infection..).

I'm horrible at guessing genders. But someone else having a girl doesn't make your chance any less!

Me too... With the discharge.. I constantly feel wet down there (sorry tmi)... The first day or two I kept thinking I was bleeding.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Thanks mommyofone, DH is fine and since he ate the same I'm hoping that's a good sign. I'm feeling a bit better now but going to mention it the drs just incase.

Congratulations on team pink Ashley!

Angel I had exactly the same thought as you, I was thinking well there HAS to be some blue bumps so the more pink this group gets, the more likely I am to have to be part of the ones to bring up the boy numbers. But in reality it's 50/50 for all of us and what everyone else is having can't affect or change what our babies have decided to be.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

I have a gender preference and feel really guilty about that. When I had my MC I would have done anything for it to be okay regardless of gender. My mindset changed while TTC but as I fell pregnant and the weeks have passed, that gender preference is back.
I am hoping that once I know I will quickly get used to the idea. I have suffered gender disappointment before but it was short lived. Xx

 

[Tinky_82]

Tinkerbelle sometimes sausages can look a little pink in the middle when cooked - the main thing is that they're piping hot all the way through. I hope you'll be ok as someone said before if your dh is fine then it's more than likely you will be too.

 

[ashleyg]

Thanks ladies for all of the congratulations. I know I will get more excited as the weeks and months go by. But I think I'm just still in shock at the thought of having two daughters lol. That's not at all what I imagined would happen! DH is really excited too. It's so funny because he always said he wanted a boy...but he is over the moon that it's another little girl. It's so cute!

I've just been spending time online looking at cute baby girl things to try and get me out of this funk. I'm sure it will pass eventually.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I saw a dentist... He said the Tooth was discolored but that could be from a previous trauma. He was unsure if the pain in my face was from my tooth. He said it "might be the cause" as I'm not swollen or screaming in agony I'm not a priority lol. He wouldn't even give me an X-ray because I'm in first trimester and I have to go back in SIX weeks. In fairness it does feel less painful today than it has done but I'm still fed up. =(

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Sorry rhi hopefully the pain will continue to be reduced

Thank you tinky, I'm feeling less worried as my dad has come in from work with exactly the same symptoms as me, and he didn't eat that dinner so pretty confident it's just a normal illness now

15 weeks today still not much on the bump front though there's a definite tiny bump now but I don't look pregnant to other people until I'm bloated.

 

[mommyxofxone]

So sorry rhi that sounds ridiculous they didn't do anything for pain!!!! What the crap!

Angel I soooooooo want two girls

And tinkerbelle I'm so glad your illness is probably just regular one and you feel better about it! One less thing to worry about right?


I am dealing with mild headache yikes. Nothing awful. Pretty sure hormone related. Went to bed with it and still here. That only happens in pregnancy thankfully for me but still sucks

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Tink. I think if your husband ate it then it should be all okay. I think sausages can be a bit pink and be okay =)

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Rhi I hope so, he cooked them for wayy longer than the stated time as well. I probably overreacted but it was just a bad coincidence to suddenly come down with identical symptoms to the food poisoning that can cause all these problems in unborn babies, I just naturally always assume the worst and start panicking!
