Justplay that does sound so scary, glad baby was okay.

I'm curious as to how big this baby will be, my and my maternal siblings were all in the 7lbs and so was my son. I'm thinking around the same for this baby, my guess is 7.11lbs x

Broodymrs I've been getting terrible headaches too, it not nice x

Welcome to the group jadza

glad you don't have a uti Miranda am currently on antibiotics for a uti and it's not nice am so glad it's starting to feel better

My son was 7lb 14 and my daughter was 7lb 6 and both wore newborn but not for that long.

I have also been suffering real bad headaches that seem to be all the time am glad it's normal and not just me

 

[MiBabyHopes]

sorry to hear about all the ladies who are feeling poorly or are in pain, i had one headache but that was due to the light coming in the window right at my eye.

unfortunately i have to wait until about 21 weeks to have my scan, i have to wait until the end of october, so that stinks, but happy to see all the beautiful scan pics on here!

i have felt some movement but it's sporadic and not on a daily basis (that would be nice and reassuring) but i know it's still early and some women won't even feel movement until 20 weeks so at least some stretches and bumps here and there make me happy!

 

[PrincessTaz]

Hi MiBabyHopes, glad all is well. My next scan isn't until 17th October either, I'll be 20+3 I think. I'm still unsure if I'm feeling baby of just gas, would definitely like some daily kicks x

I have been having constant headaches as well and some spotting in my eyes. I'm definitely going to bring it up at my appointment on Tuesday.
My eldest was 7.3lbs and looked huge in 0-3 for the first month and my youngest was 5.2lbs and he wore premie for the first month and didn't fit into 0-3 until he was almost 3 months.

 

[PrincessTaz]

I had to go to my gp for the headaches last week as they were becoming too much. He wanted to sign me off work but I can't really afford to be off so he's given me a note advising my employers to amend some of my duties, hoping they will.

 

[mel102]

I haven't got my scab appointment yet am hoping it comes soon

 

[TattyHead]

Well I thought because I wasn't peeing that much it was obviously because I have an iron bladder & super amazing pelvic floor muscles & wouldn't have any issues until I had a HUGE bump!!
I was wrong..
So very wrong..
I've had to pee every 2 hours since I woke up!

My bump is beginning to feel quite heavy & uncomfortable so I've been using heat pack's, on the plus side however, I seem to feel a lot less nauseated & no vomiting these past 2 days, I hope that continues!!

 

[Livvy]

I thought I was the only one having headaches!! They've been so bad and a daily occurrence. I hate it. Makes it so difficult to function.

 

[ttc bubby no2]

Sorry to those having headaches I have only had them a couple of times and I think it was progesterone related as it was when I went on the supplements and also when I weaned off.

I think I have been feeling little movements, I'm looking forward to when I know they are actual movements!

 

[broodymrs]

Livvy see your dr if they're that bad. Mine were daily migraines which thankfully have been better since 16 weeks. I was prescribed migraine tablets which again thankfully I've not needed but at least I know I have them now if I do. My dr was cross with me for not going sooner as it can be a sign of pre e. He now also wants me to tell the midwife every time I have a headache. I'm not doing though, I'd be ringing her constantly!

 

[broodymrs]

I'm loving the movements. They started early but in the last week or so they've very definitely been baby kicks. Some days have been crazy active. I went to a conference yesterday and there was really loud music (and a dancing dragon!) and baby onlywoke up at the end! Please sleep as well when you're here baby!!

My bump/back pain was horrendous Friday. Time for physio I think!

 

[amc90]

I am measured 14 weeks and 2 days with a little girl. I've been getting a lot of headaches too but they're mostly stress induced. My lips have been so dry no matter how much I drink! It's aggravating.

 

[broodymrs]

Congrats amc!

 

[ttc bubby no2]

Congrats amc

After I posted about not getting headaches of course I got a headache today! Last time I say anything like that again

Today I am suddenly finding my bump that little but uncomfortable when I bend now... I must have officially popped. It does make it feel a little bit more real now.

 

[mel102]

Congratulations amc x

 

[PrincessTaz]

Tattyhead I constantly have to pee too, mostly during that and don't do too bad on a night yet. I know it's coming though!

Livvy lucks like a lot of us are suffering with the headaches, hopefully they'll ease soon.

ttc bubby no2 yay for feeling some movement and your bump popping, hopefully not long until you're feeling some proper little jabs.

Broodymrs aww lovely you've felt some proper kicks, I can't wait. I remember my son used to go mad at all my sister tap dancing classes lol. Sorry about the back pain.

amc90 congratulations I've also had some dry lips, they're really sore on a morning even though I always have a glass of water before bed.

AFM not much to happening, feeling some strange feelings that I think may be movements but I'm not sure. You think I should know having done this before but I really can't remember what those early ones felt like lol. Went out for a meal with my OH and some friends which was lovely, so glad I can really enjoy my food again. I was absolutely shattered by 9pm though, it was supposed to be for my 30th birthday which is next week but I was way too tired to party lol x

 

[mirandaprice]

Congrats acm!

Sorry for all the headaches ladies...perhaps a lot to do with how hot it's been everywhere?

I had a bit of a breakdown last night because of the spotting I'm still having, I know baby is okay, I just want it to stop completely.

Spent today at the zoon, my feet are killing me now!

 

[broodymrs]

Miranda - Spotting must be worrying. Sorry Hun.

Ttc- I've definitely popped this week. Just caught sight of my bump and the stretch marks are horrendous! Worse than I was at full term with ds. Would explain why my back pain has started up too. Really struggling tonight, currently in the bath trying to ease it

 

[Oxygen7880]

Miranda: sorry you are still spotting. It must be really stressful even though you know baby is well.

I'm still feeling rough. Sickly most of the day and still completely exhausted.
Saw a doc today (I have extra antenatal appointments due to my history of depression), I haven't been feeling great mentally but I am reluctant to go back on meds for it. I'm hoping that when I start to feel better then I will improve mentally and connect to the preg more. He did give me some anti nausea meds that he said are safe and I am tempted temporarily to get me through but they make you very drowsy and I'm already bad so I'm not sure.
