*~* May 2013 - Spring Babies*~* 117 Jelly Babies - 22 Boy's & 19 Girl's - 5 Babies :D

[TTCBean]

So sleep and hungry today! My face has broken out like a teenagers! Cystic and everything, could do without that please!

 

[kezziek]

Still have nauseous days but thankfully not so bad as it was and most of my food aversions have gone. Lpjkp you poor thing honey sucks.

Pelvic pain is horrible I sympathise with you all, I just waddle about everywhere. I'm not enjoying this pregnancy at all but really wish I could as it's most likely my last. I think my body is worn out after having three babies in four years lol but I'm pleased to have them close nonetheless.

My fundal height measured 29cm yesterday at my midwife appt so a bit ahead, is anyone else measuring ahead?x

 

[TTCBean]

I measured 28cm yesterday!

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Yes!!! At my 24 week appointment, I was measuring at 26 weeks! My midwife said if you're measuring within 2 cm, you're fine. If I'm measuring 3 or more cm either way, that would be cause for another ultrasound to check on baby.

On another note, I'm a teacher and was just informed that we have a case of Fifth Disease in a classroom that I pull kids from. Thank goodness I don't actually work with the kid that had the illness, but it's still call for concern in pregnant women. I had to go straight from work to get blood work done today to see if I'm immune to it or not. Scary

 

[lpjkp]

Oh my gosh ladies,im so tired this morning! I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst worst chest and back pain in my life! I've been getting almost constant heartburn and indigestion,but ouch! I had to shovel down the Gaviscon and try and get back to sleep sitting up x

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Poor LP.

Can you take it easy today and nap at all?

Heartburn is awful.

I'm really nauseous this morning. Not fun.

 

[lpjkp]

I'll try to I think...ive got to go to the doctors this morning for my whooping cough vaccine (how fun!) then after a few chores,im going to chill for the rest of the day...or at least try to!x

Eugh,I feel for you with the nausea cupcake...no fun at all I made my own ice lollies and have been munching on them if I feel nauseus,and they've actually worked a little bit xxx

 

[lpjkp]

Or I WAS going to the doctors today for my vaccination...until the nurse informed me that she would be refusing to give me the vaccination because I'm not yet 28 weeks :S 1) It was the doctors that booked me the appointment and 2) does 3 days really make a difference?!

I could have cried because it took me so long to walk (Or rather, waddle) to that bloody doctors, only to be told I'll have to do the whole thing again on Sunday

As if THAT wasn't bad enough, the cheeky woman looked like she was going to die of heart attack when I told her I was 27+4...she was like no way! You're HUGE! I wouldn't have said you were less than 30! Errrr, yeah, thanks. I swear, the next person that tells me I'm huge is going to get majorly belly-flopped by my apparently huge belly, cheeky buggers!x

 

[jtink28]

well that stinks lpjkp! why would the doctor schedule you when you couldn't get the shot?

and don't worry - SO MANY people have told me that i have a huge belly!! i haven't seemed to get larger elsewhere, just my belly, but i've even had the "are you sure it's not twins" question. people are rude and stupid. my doc said i look perfect for 27 weeks, and my belly looks similar to yours.

anyone in the US - are you guys required to get the whooping cough vaccine? my doctor hasn't even mentioned it to me. i have to get my Rhogam shot on feb. 19th, as i'm Rh negative, but haven't heard anything else. maybe it's just a UK thing?

 

[TTCBean]

I haven't heard anything about the whooping cough vaccine.

When I woke up this morning DH said he couldn't sleep in the night and put his hand on my belly while he read. He said he couldn't believe I could sleep through the movements baby was doing. He said "He was going crazy!" hahaha.

 

[jtink28]

ttcbean, i'm a super heavy sleeper. one time in college, i slept through a fire alarm - it was really embarassing. i know babies are super active at night, and sometimes i wish i could stay awake and just feel him kick all night!

 

[Sass827]

People are making comments to me here in the islands too. Many girls who work at the hotel are pregnant too, and they're all like "you so big!" thanks girls.
I'm having wicked hip pain and gas pains. I took some stool softeners last night, but no luck in getting anything moving.
Jt- the us wants you to have the whooping cough vaccine too, but they call it pertussis. There's another name for it too but I forget it at the moment. My doctor said they like to give it after labor while your still in the hospital.

 

[jtink28]

sass, i don't know about you, but drinking a strong cup of coffee always gets things moving for me!! it's my go-to.

i think my vaccine schedule is very different from 99% of everyone else. i take an immunosuppressant IV drug, so I don't get a large amount of vaccines. when the baby is born, he won't be allowed to get many vaccines for the first 6 months. maybe that's why my doc never mentioned the pertussis.

The US has a whooping cough vaccine programme too - see here and scroll down to the pregnancy section. https://www.cdc.gov/features/pertussis/?mobile=nocontent

It's slightly different to the UK one as annoyingly ours also contains (on top of tetanus and diphtheria) polio too. Annoying that neither country can't supply a single vaccine rather than combinations but the single one is out if licence. Downside is that if you opt to have it you're inadvertently having all the others in there too.... x

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Just had horrible news.

Our best friends have been TTC for 2 years+ and are on their first round of IVF.

Egg removal was yesterday and they just found out of the 14 eggs removed none have fertilised.

I'm so heartbroken for them, I just wish there was a way I could make it better. They're both under 30 and this is all so unfair.

 

[Sass827]

I'm so sorry for your friend cupcake. Maybe with so many eggs, they can get down to the bottom of the problem?
Is anyone having burning around their belly button? Mine feels like a ring of fire. I thought it might be from my old belly button piercing, but it's on the sides sometimes too. Makes me think my belly button is about to blow. And all these all you can eat buffets are not helping.

 

[pinktiara]

Back from my drs app all is well she says i look good and im only up 11 lbs woo measured my stomach im 26 she said right on where i should be. As for my gallbladder I have active gall stones which means they could try and come out at any time so i could have another attack just gotta keep the fat down ugh scary stuff. So hopefully a few months after my c section i can get it removed. she also sent a letter off to the person who will do the c section so hopefully i get a date soon.

 

[Katrina18]

My Dr recommended I get the whooping cough vaccine but im not positive when I get it (I have my appointment today)..she also recommended that my husband and anyone who is going to be around the baby a lot be vaccinated as it can pass from adult to baby and baby is not vaccinated until 4 months..this was just my dr. though..seems like everyone is different..

 

[TTCBean]

Holy cow I am starving today! I've had so much food but feel like I haven't had ANYTHING to eat all day! I've had:

1 cup raisin bran with 1/2 cup milk, 1 cup blueberries
Egg salad sandwich (used 2 eggs)
Navel orange, apple
6 oz yogurt
Small fruit cup
1/2 cup baby carrots
1/2 cottage cheese
1 cup raspberries
11 blue corn chips
Couple tbsp of dried berries
9 cups of water

Can we say growth spurt!!! It's almost 4 p.m. ... can't wait until 5 (when DH is off work), to start making dinner. Wowee! I'm making chicken breasts in the crock pot and they smell divine!!! Going to make some rice and peas too. *drools*

 

[jtink28]
