*March & April 2021*

Aww hi babies. Lovely scan pics.

Ugh this holiday has sucked. I've come down with such a bad cold. I've not had the energy to do anything at all. The cough I have is horrendous. DH is coming down with it now as well.

I'm 8 weeks tomorrow, and aside from the cold I've been feeling pretty good. I was chatting to my mum today and i told her I was pregnant. She was so happy. She also said that her 3 pregnancies were a "breeze" so hopefully I'll follow in her footsteps
 
@alex_22 omg 16 weeks already that’s crazy!! Do you have a feeling boy or girl?

the air has been “hazardous” for a straight week now from the fires, the kids literally haven’t stepped foot outside in a full week, we are going absolutely insane. Hope it clears soon!

My nausea is worse today than it’s been so far, it’s so uncomfortable! I’m able to eat some though so at least there’s that. Frozen blueberries are awesome. My kids love them too. I keep finishing what they don’t!

8+4 and this belly is insane. My ultrasound is in 16 days and if all looks good we will tell the kids then. Though I’m sure they suspect cause look at this nonsense.

Oh that's horrible that the air is so bad, I'm sure it just makes the nausea even worse, I used to live in BC and the air gets so bad there from the fires too, I remember being stuck inside for the last month of my pregnancy and it was awful with the heat and no air con! Hopefully the nausea eases off for you!
Lovely bump pic!

Oh no so sorry about the cold I've always had a 'pregnancy cold' but I've been coughing loads 2 people stare I'm like it's just a little cough go away :rofl: hope you both feel better soon xx
 
Waiting on my blood results should be around 2 today, also got diabetic clinic this morning, midiwfe told me I will be under consultant care so that means I will be indiced around 37 weeks, which would be perfect as hubby will be on half term then! He works in a private school, hope everyone is doing ok :) x

I know right. Eveeyone keeps looking at me like I have covid... nope it's definitely a cold :haha:
 
My allergies have been kicking my butt! I have a bit of a cough and am super congested, runny nose....I feel everyone forgets that stuff still exists right now. Like I’ve had allergy issues since I was in diapers. I know what it is. They get so much worse during pregnancy. It’s not Covid! Allergies still exist. Colds still exist. Infections still exist. I got into a battle with one of the doctors at DDs pediatricians office a few weeks ago bc she had an ear infection (fever, saying nothing but her ear hurt) and he kept saying she’s not an underwater swimmer so it’s not an ear infection and she needs a Covid test...I hate him but that’s another story. And U am one of the most cautious person with Covid. So don’t tell me it’s Covid when it’s not.

end rant lol

Anyway I’ve been waking up between 2-3:30 for like a week now. It’s getting old. I’m tired. Started drinking coffee again. Sleep has forsaken me.
 
Had an OB appointment today. I know from my 12 week ultrasound and my home Doppler that baby is hiding behind the placenta (DD1 was the same at this age). I was there for a heartbeat check today and I was hoping she didn’t cooperate so my OB would need to give me a quickie ultrasound. Baby girl was a rockstar. Lol. Got my little quickie handheld ultrasound. My OB said I have a beautiful placenta and baby has nice eye sockets....uhh thanks? Haha. She did that creepy look at us and look like an alien thing. OB said it’s her favorite and so cute. Nope. I think it’s creepy AF haha. Got my flu shot too. I’ll see her again immediately after my 20 week ultrasound.

Despite my incredible belly right now I’m only up 4lbs!! My PCOS issues seem to fix themselves during pregnancy so I gain weight like a normal person which is nice.

Oh and she had hiccups ❤️

I have an elective ultrasound with DD1 Saturday :)
16 weeks today!

Just found my first dark facial hair on my chain. Is that what pregnancy does to us???? Aaaah.

aww so cute to see all your bumps and good news on everyone’s scans/appointments.

Ive been so busy at work that it’s just making time fly. I feel stuffy and always seem to wake up with a blocked nose. I’ve bought an air purifier as I wanted one for the nursery but want to see if it has any health benefits for us as well!

I’m almost 12 weeks now... so symptoms are definitely better but I still weigh less than when I got pregnant! Headache today is horrific though.

I was tempted to tell work this week but decided I should wait for my scan next week. Was meant to see a friend tonight and was going to tell her but she’s re-arranged. My brother is coming later tonight though and I don’t know whether to tell him or not. It will be the first person so I’m so nervous!
 
@WannaBMamma7 I have chin hair regularly due to PCOS, but definitely a lot more since being pregnant. I love needing a mask to go anywhere. Covers that right up haha. I’m
Super stuffy too. Have been since ovulation! I take Zyrtec in the AM and Benadryl before bed. All I can do. I have allergies but they’re usually well controlled. Thanks extra blood flow lol
 
Had a routine 12w visit (12w4d today). At the end of the appt she grabbed the Doppler.... and couldn’t find a heartbeat.

So had an unplanned ultrasound. Found baby with a heart rate around 164, measuring 13w1d, moving around and sucking it’s thumb. So things look ok! A bit bummed that this is pregnancy three of three with an anterior placenta.

still sick. Got another rx to hopefully help the severe daily headaches I’ve had almost 3w now... just awful stuff that are hopefully just due to hormones and hope they go away soon.

Grabbed the NIPT kit while there- should hear back in 1-2 weeks.
