March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

[Bladesgirl]

Thanks rose I'm sure he will be fine he's wiggling all over the place today!! I think he's trying to appolgise for scaring me! Glad you got an appointment for your hips! I keep getting occasional back pain but nothing to seriusonso far touch wood!

Baby maybe good luck with your scan! I'm a little nervous about mine to but quite excited to see baby again as its been a while! I think they should let you have more scans in pregancy!!

 

[baby_maybe]

I'm nervous for mine too, but I'm sure all will be fine. I think the consultant just wants to know what he's dealing with so he can make a plan

babymaybe and bladesgirl,

Good luck with your scans/tests! It is good to see you have proactive doctors that are making sure all is well.

I am considered high risk and as such have had a scan every month... my most recent one was Monday and I am now going for weekly scans... I see the specialist for a scan every week and the Ob every other week (I think) unless she ups it to weekly too. Luckily baby and I are doing well they just want to make sure it stays that way. I have also been having contractions/cramping/etc and have had some cervical changes so they want to keep a close eye on us.

 

[baby_maybe]

Thanks Amy

I'm already high risk because of my cervix and have a stitch in to stop it from dilating early. I suffer with a lot of pulling pains in my cervix because of this and also loads of braxton hicks too!

You ladies are so lucky!! I asked my ob if I get another scan and she said that we will decide that later on I really want one!! Lol

 

[rose.]

I only had 2 medical scans, one at 12 weeks and one at 20 weeks. The one I had at the weekend I had to pay for. It must be nice having more scans but at the same time I imagine you ladies get a bit anxious about them, I remember I was so anxious for both my medical scans!!

Whooping cough jab was ok, bit of an achy arm but otherwise fine. I've got a wedge pillow to try tonight see if it helps me get comfy.

 

[AmyB1978]

Rose, you are right that it is nice seeing the baby more often but it would also be nice to be not considered high risk and not have to have the scans. Luckily, for me, so far, it has all been to make sure we are doing okay not because we aren't.

I got a wedge pillow a week or two ago, it's not a miracle cure but definitely seems to help!

Hi all
I'v been slack on here lately...


I found an old pregnancy test while cleaning my cupboards and of course I raced to the toilet to pee on it
I took a pic and send it to OH at work, and said Im pregnant!! he laughed and called me a d*ckhead hahaha

 

[Bladesgirl]

Hahaha sharnw that's funny!! I might try that lol!! I'm sure I have one somewhwre lol!! Although I may have used them all as I kept doing them as couldn't get over the shock lol!

I'm happy that I get to see baby but I have seen him a few times as we paid for a 4d scan and i was allowed to go a few times until baby wanted to be seen! We needed up going 4 times and baby never really wanted to play and I'm to far along now! So with that and my normal scans oh and our 16 week gender lol I have had 7-8 scans lol!!

I'm more worried about this one as obviously I think they think something is wrong and unlike the 4d scans they are checking him over not just looking for his beautiful face! On the plus side I felt a bit better yesterday and had quite a good day so hopeing I can keep the same today!! Although I'm up early to go for this scan lol!!

What's a wedge pillow? I got a pregancy pillow thing but its pretty rubbish and now my bump is big lying on my side isn't to bad! It's when it was middle range bump and didnt know where to go lol!! My main pains are in my calves and ankles for some reason!

 

[rose.]

I'm sure everything will be fine blades girl

A wedge pillow is just a small pillow made of foam in the shape of a wedge. I tried mine last night but couldn't get any more comfy with it. I think if my hips flare up again it could help quite a lot though! But you're right, now the bumps bigger it sort of steadies itself

 

[sharnw]

Bladesgirl, GL at your scan xx
I have 5 pillows wedged everywhere around and under my body lol an will be very interesting when bump gets bigger. My calves are aching bad too. So painful

 

[anna1986]

hi all

so not much going on with me little man keeps wedging his head under my ribs which is making it increasingly more difficult to do things when he does that and it hurts. My little girl was the same around this time too. my babys seem to like sitting up inside me n dont want to play ball by going head down! i always worry when i bend over that im squashing his head lol
So my daughter has a sickness bug also :sad: hate seeing her so poorly shes just laying around n sleeping or wanting cuddles. really hoping i dont catch it but she did throw up on me a few times now!
have a good day ladies

 

[Kte]

Hope your little girl gets better soon. I'm off today with my ill daughter as well, suspected tonsillitis. She has been complaining for a few days her cheeks hurt and Ive been looking in her mouth but yesterday her tonsils looked more swollen and had white bits on, so off we go the the doctors today. Although now she says she is better for some reason even though she isn't!

I had my whooping couch vaccine booked in for next monday but Ive moved it to today now since we are at the doctors anyway. Oh joy!

Had my Nan's funeral yesterday, it was sad but nice, everyone had lots of fun stories and memories it made it quite a nice day. I found out the middle name we are planning on using was actually my Nan's too - I never knew what it was!! I thought that was pretty cool!

Best be off, I'm experimenting making a sweede and potato rosti and the damn thing keeps boiling over!

Hi all, I hope you are all doing well.

I had my whooping cough 3-4 weeks ago and I was fine apart from having a sore arm for a week.

Is anyone suffering with really bad dizziness spells when standing for a short period of time ie 5-10 mins and being sick because of it or feeling like you are going to throw up!! I have been having this since Monday, and this morning I had an eposide while talking to my boss went all hot, dizzy and had to run to the toilet to be sick, I even had the boss holding my hair Maybe its just the baby draining me, I spoke to my midwife and all my bloods were fine, my iron was 12 so im not anemic and my bp was 120/80 on Monday!! I am dumb founded Looks like I may have to start carrying a sick bag with me from now on!!

xx

 

[paula181]

Oh and also feeling like you have been kicked in the privates when your walking!! As you can tell I am feeling a little sorry for myself today

xx

 

[skeet9924]

I'm starting to feel sick in the morning again.. I have has a few hot flashes along with dizziness but have not yet been sick from it.. I usually just try to go somewhere cooler.. Usually stand outside for a moment because its winter here. My oh is being a good sport about my increased temperature as I always have to house freezing and he just bundles on the couch with a blanket our room is really cold .. I sleep with 2 fans on and the window wide open and am still kicking off the blankets!! I'm sure by the time he comes to bed ( 3am) it's freezing in there

 

[Lou1234]

Oh and also feeling like you have been kicked in the privates when your walking!! As you can tell I am feeling a little sorry for myself today

xx

OMG Yes!! That is the only way to describe it! Like you are playing football and someone completely misses the ball and gets you in the private parts wtih a really strong kick! I just feel bruised down there and it really hurts when walking.

Sometimes hurts quite a lot there when I roll over in bed etc as well.

 

[AmyB1978]

I can't say that I have had the dizziness with the nausea... but I am still having nausea and vomiting from time to time, it never went completely away for me. I can totally relate to the hot flashes and being warmer than usual, it's ridiculous and I am so glad it is winter here as in the summer it isn't unusual for it get REALLY hot! I can also relate to the feeling like someone is kicking you in the crotch... I am getting really uncomfortable down there and have also been having what we (me and Drs) think are contractions and also cramping. They estimated her to be 4 pounds on Monday... what is this going to feel like when our babies are even bigger!?!

Anna and Kte, hope your girls get better soon and that you manage to stay healthy!

 

[sportysgirl]

Hope everyone is well.

Need to book in for my whopping cough injection. Not had any dizziness but do have pain in both calves during the night. Have had a lot of rib pain but mainly in the back. Baby is kicking more and more and makes me smile every-time!

Love to you all

 

[Kte]

hope everyone's aches don't get any worse at least, like you say we still have a little way to go! I just get sore hips after being in bed for so long and last night I ended up with restless leg syndrome in both legs, really hoping that that doesn't happen again, one leg is bad enough but I can usually pin it down, both was just ridiculous!

Hope everyone's scans go well x

AmyB: hope that baby stays put and your contractions, if they are, stay at bay!

Little miss has been to the doctors and has been given some yellow medicine, I can't remember which it is but its not amoxicillin I know that at least! They said she is still okay to go to nursery on it so at least she hasn't been classed as contagious! Phew!

Arm from whooping cough is pretty tender but at least it's done now
