June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Boo44]

I'm feeling regular movement now too. So much so that yesterday when i didn't feel anything by midday I was a bit worried. Baby tends to shuffle whenever I eat They are more shuffles and light movements though, and quite low down too, not the big movements of later in pregnancy. But I do have an anterior placenta so that might be why x

A couple more weeks and ill be able to feel more besides just flutters

 

[MiraclesHappn]

While laying in bed last night I got to feel some consistent and stronger movement that I finally could feel from the outside as well. Dh was also able to feel it now I'm just so anxious for it to be obvious enough movement that DD can feel it too. The movement is my favorite part of pregnancy for sure! Even with small little kicks to my bladder last night as well

Rhi, the MW listened to the baby at my appointment last week. I didn't ask, but she did mention that it can take a while to find. Xx

Mommy, I have really low blood pressure too. I was advised to drink more. Mine is always low, even at 40+ weeks.

Still not felt baby move here. xx

thanks hun- that's what i was told, just drink more. but omg, i was having enough trouble getting my 6 glasses down, she increased to 8. My mom says she had low bp with me the whole time, just kept going down. but they said as long as i'm feeling ok it's fine. still weird. never had that before!

Ugh my ms is really kicking my butt again the last few days, I've felt like I did at 8 weeks! Really nauseated and completely exhausted again It has now lasted soooo much longer than it did with my other two pregnancies, not sure why that is!

oh i'm so sorry hun this may sound really stupid, but are you constipated at all? i get nausea when i'm constipated- if it's really bad. I try to make sure i don't get to that point.

Mommyx, what was your bp?

I felt definite movement in the bed before getting up today. I think that was the first definite movement I felt in the morning!

90 over something. lol. i know that helps right? i have no idea, she mentioned it but really fast, so i ahve no clue.

Secondnote - I agree that if your other lo has one then it wouldn't be fair on baby not to have one, my parents never did middle names with us (mainly because my dad is against them ) and I've always hated being the odd one out, had my older sister been given one I would be very upset.

boo - I'm sorry you're having problems with sickness again, I hope it goes away soon.

Angel - oh no, remind your oh next time to clear it all away - I wouldn't go in the kitchen at all if it really smelled of meat/chicken, just the thought of it makes me feel ill.

My maternity budget has now been spent £150 on maternity clothes with 90% of it being Next sale items

I only feel movements very sporadically every couple of days or so, I can't wait until it becomes more regular.

I keep waiting for the post every day hoping my anatomy scan comes through, I want a date to look forward to!


Weird dreams anyone? I had a dream I was drunk and had 2 husbands last night.

My baby is the same. not much tapping, here and there, but that rolling pressure sensation is almost daily. it's very uncomfy but i'll take it. I always have very vivid dreams, but not this frequently. i've had them daily this week and they're REALLY weird

A couple more weeks and ill be able to feel more besides just flutters

at 15+2 i felt my first kick hun, could be any day now!

I can't feel any from the outside yet. I've seen my belly move from the kicks, but you can't feel it outside. dh even saw it but said he can't feel it. can't wait til dd can feel it either. that'll be pretty great.



afm, i still have some sort of virus. although most of me feels perfectly fine my tonsils are swollen and hurt a tad throughout the day. feels sore. at least that's really my only symptom now.

 

[SecondNote]

Thanks ladies. I agree, since DS has a middle name, our June baby definitely needs one too. I just don't know why my husband gets so agitated when I bring it up. Sigh. I guess once we agree on a first name I will pick a middle name myself and that will be that.

It's not OH cooking it was at work, I work within a family giving respite support to their son. OH knows better!

 

[Boo44]

Angel that sounds awful! Some smells are awful for me, mainly aftershave and cleaning products

No I'm not constipated at the moment, I have been but not right now! So just ms deciding to torture me a bit longer!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Had my midwife app. Went well. Heard the heartbeat was lovely! Husband is jealous haha. Find out the gender is 6 days now!!!

So if anyone wants a last minute guess....

 

[Lil_Pixie]

My eldest sister has a middle name but me and our middle sister don't have one. We sometimes joke that my mum couldn't be bothered putting the effort in after the first one but honestly it never really bothered us much.

I think I might have felt some movement yesterday but I'm just not sure at all

 

[karlilay]

Rhi i think boy

Talking of bad smells, today i fried a rotten egg for about 5 seconds before realizing. i Threw up in my kitchen and then in my garden when i ran outside with the frying pan. I am absolutely traumatized by the whole situation, and im not even joking

 

[karlilay]

Middle names, my kids both have one each. But this one i would love Poppy Olivia Florence.... Jonny thinks its too much

Omg that sounds horrific!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

ewwww. I don't like egg normally. I would have deffo barfed haaha

 

[AngelofTroy]

Argh, yuck, smells get to me sooooooo much!

My son has two middle names! Micah Charlie Joseph, they are both family names.

 

[Starlight32]

We are having a girl !!!

Mommyx, I think my bp is on the lower side usually but the doctors never say anything about it. Pre pregnancy, a doctor said it was low because I was so thin. I drink a ton of water!

 

[SecondNote]

Aww! Another team pink. Congrats! That's so exciting.

 

[Starlight32]

Thanks secondnote

Everything they saw looked good but she wouldn't turn so they weren't able to get all the heart pictures. We are going back in two weeks. I pray her heart is all good!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Congratulations Starlight! I cannot believe that's another team pink! Hope the next scan goes well and they're able to look at everything they want.

Rhi no idea re gender guesses, I don't think there's even a nub visible? I'm going to just say boy for the sake of it as we need more blue bumps here.

I'm yet to feel any movement, not even little flutters or anything I have my '16-week' midwife appointment on Wednesday at 18 weeks.

I'm a little nervous as I'm having my care transferred over to a different hospital, due to having a traumatic birth with my son at my nearest one. My 20-week scan was already booked for my nearest hospital though and I rang the midwife shortly after asking if I could have the scan changed to the different hospital once we'd transferred over my care. She was confident that if we transferred my care at the 16-week appointment, 4 weeks would be plenty of time for me to be able to get a scan at the new hospital. However, I had a tummy bug and couldn't make the 16-week appt and had to reschedule for my appointment in 2 days. I'll be just over 18 weeks and I'm terrified it'll be too late to change the scan over. I know you can have it up to 21 weeks? So hopefully there will be time?

I feel a nervous wreck at the thought of going back to that hospital and the scanning rooms are in the same building as labour and delivery, and I'm scared it will trigger off all my fears of giving birth again

 

[Starlight32]

Thanks tinker bell! I hope you can change hospitals. Do you not like the people at the close one? Sorry if you already mentioned it.

I haven't felt any movement since this morning. I hope the ultrasound didn't traumatize baby. I was hoping it would be short but the ultrasound part was probably an hour if not a bit longer because of baby's position. She was able to find sex pretty fast though.

 

[vaniilla]

Starlight32 - Congrats on team pink!


Tinkerbelle - they should be able to change it, your reasons are more than valid it will just be a case of when they can fit you in - it may well have to be closer to 22 but it will the upside of the scan being clearer.
