***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

Mummy, trust me being 5'2 is not that amazing. i.e. i look 4 months pregnant and i'm not.
I wish I could at least get an extra couple inches. I was just in the elevator coming up from walking my dog and this pregnant woman had a bunch of cupcakes and she asked me if i wanted one, of course i said yes, then she says "first one?" I had no idea what she was talking about then she;s like, "first baby? I know its weird but i can always tell when people are pregnant, what are you about 10 or 11 weeks?" I nearly fell over in elevator.
Do pregnant women get pregdar? like gays guys have gaydar?
 
lol... you're just never the person she is wrong about :rofl:
 
wait... either that, or she saw the hungry glint in your eye... that might be a recognizable trait! :haha:
 
maybe, or the fact i look like dog poo and have ditches under my eyes from lack of proper sleep.
god bless her anyway, she was VERY pregnant, and offered me cupcakes. I don't know if i'd be that nice to someone I didn't know who lived in my building haha
 
lol, I don't know if I'd share my cupcakes with a FRIEND at this point... mine... allllll mine... :haha:
 
Ya i made creme brulee french toast this am, and totally BSed my friend and said i didnt feel like cooking who I had invited over the night before for breakfast today... I just really didn't want to cook extra and share with anyone :)
 
mummy- hope your son feels better!!

yum, even though I feel like crap a cupcake sounds good! Hope you enjoyed hopeful!

I just ordered pizza for dinner, should be here any minute. Not sure it was the best idea when I feel like I could throw up at any moment but I decided what the heck. Sometimes greasy crap makes me feel better.
 
I couldn't even eat dinner tonight, I get sooo nauseated at night time. It hits me like a wave by 730/8 and i'm done for the night.. So i either try to eat a late heavy lunch like I did today or a very early dinner.
Pizza does sound good though, i have been craving it all week but Since I am alone it's sorta silly to order, cause either 1/2 will be thrown out or go bad.
 
Forgot to ask, does anyone have any problems with their scalp since pregnant?
When I was pregnant before, i started getting this odd rash on my scalp so I went to my dermatologist and got this foam stuff to treat it. I've been fine the last couple of weeks, but the last couple days i feel like I have a chemical burn like i've dyed my hair 10 times in a day and i have done NOTHING. It's very odd. My derm. said it was normal to have skin changes and sometimes it happens to peoples scalp instead of face.
I am really pissed that this came up because i was going to color my hair next week now I can't... I look like a fool, I have naturally blonde hair and dye it dark so i am walking around with an inch or more of blonde roots. UGHHHHHHHH Ridiculous

also yes you can dye your hair when you're pregnant. its a crazy thing, that my doctors and stylist said is totally fine as long as you're not using bleach.
 
The pizza ended up curving my nausea, how crazy is that. I know that you get skin changes while pregnant, I got blotches with my last pregnancy but I don't think you should get anything that burns your scalp. Wonder if you have a new sensitivity to your shampoo now that your pregnant? Hope you can get something figured out. I need to dye my hair too but I'm waiting until I'm out of first tri. I could really use a fresh new color, I'm bored with the color/highlights i got last time.
 
Well thats good the pizza helped!
I stopped in my ob's office today because I got my fave nurse a flower arrangement (yes i do this so i don't have to wait when there, and i can call whenever i have freak outs), and i discussed my prenatal vitamin issues and they said to stop taking them and replace with Flinstone's vitamins 2x a day till my nausea goes away around the 2nd trimester. I googled it and it says same thing, apparently a lot of dr's tell woman this so now I feel a bit better about it.
 
Im wondering if the scalp thing is because yesterday I had a blow out and maybe it burnt my scalp. Cause its really only on my part... Feels like some sort of burn.
 
odd.. about the scalp thing.. don't know how to fix it though.. i have dealt with eczema and rashes my whole life so I'm good with the lotions but don't know much about scalp stuff

I had an awesome dinner... homemade pizza with pesto sauce, sun dried tomatoes, and feta cheese... yummmm
 
Morning ladies! I got rudely awoken AGAIN! first by rain hammering on my window, then by my darling son waking up at 5am!

I talked to my mum last night about all the baby clothes (a LOAD of clothes from newborn to about 9 months) stored in her loft and the swing and she said they should be fine, so should the swing, My dad is getting them down either today or tomorrow and as soon as she has checked them she will ring me to tell me how they are :)

I have about 4 weeks until my next midwife appointment and they cant go fast enough! I'm going to tell her how bad my hips have gotten and with any luck i should get a speedy referral to physio.
 
anyone else around 12w getting a firmer belly yet? idk if i'm just feeling things or not. lol
 
morning all,

my girls have a week off school now, yayyyy no school runs for a few days, i feel so crappy. hoping things ease off in the next few weeks, anybody have any nice plans this weekend? x
 
We're on school holidays too wild yay!!! Although I still have to work so I still have to get up stupid early and take Joshua to day care lol Although, I do get to pick him up at 11.30am when I finish work and spend lots of quality time with him :) School takes up soooooo much of our time lol My little man shared his pop tarts with me today, I am soooo honoured lol He said it would be nice for the baby to have some... I never usually get a look in to his things lol

This is going to sound weird, especially as I know we're all feeling like all we do is eat and sleep lol BUT is anyone else struggling with portion size? I know a lot of you are eating more than normal, but is that more frequent but smaller portion sizes? I have noticed over the last couple of weeks I cant eat any where near the amount of food I used to eat. Although I do eat every 3 hours or so, its just something tiny I cant actually fit a proper meal in. I think my stomach has actual shrank lol

Milos... my tummy is very firm and it is starting to go round too. At first I put it down to bloating, but the firmness isnt going, the roundness is just growing lol

Lisa... Im sure the baby will settle down over the next few weeks. They all grow at different rates, and not all babies are the same size there has to be some difference. Its not like there is a huge difference in dates so Im sure its all ok, and as mummy says it'll probably be on track by your next scan!

hopeful... when I was pregnant with Joshua I developed all kinds of new allergies, its possible you have developed an allergy to a shampoo you have been using? If its burning Id definitely get someone to take a look at it for you! Oh and once I had him most things I could go back to using, the only think I remain allergic too is gold. Ive already noticed this pregnancy an increase in allergies but the doctors here are much better than I had last time and they are on top of it :)

mummy... I hope you're little boy is ok! Poor little thing, I think I'd be feeling very sorry for myself too! Im sure its been a tough time for you too hun!! Hope you're all ok. How's your sickness now? Is the cramping subsiding yet? Hope you heard back from the dr's office!

Wiggler... you have done amazing on the weightloss hun!!! Just be careful you dont lose too much too quick! But sounds like you eating plenty and doing it sensibley :) Im still losing weight.. small amounts, 2lb here, 4lb there, 1lb this week I think I lost about 10lb ish since falling pregnant so over the moon with that! I'd like about another 5 or 7lb off before I start gaining pregnancy weight. Although be happy with a maintain for the rest of the pregnancy lol

The pee'ing thing has started lol... 4 or 5 times I was up last night and the night before arghhhh lol I havent had this earlier in pregnancy like some of you, thought I had skipped it rofl

Ive no plans for this weekend, weather doesnt look favourable so may just watch some dvd's with Joshua. May do some housework... but that is a very big MAY lolol Although think I do need to do some laundry. Been putting it off as weather sooo bad cant get it dry outside lol
 
I second the allrergy issues, I sneeze and blow my nose day and night now, and I have no idea why, but its driving me mad!! :( xx
 
24/7, it's called pregnancy rhinitis. The hormones in pregnancy cause your mucus membranes to swell, causing a lot of sneezing, nose blowing, and stuffiness. It's completely normal and will go away after the pregnancy.

On another note, my ticker changed today! Second trimester today!
 
ohh happy 3rd tri brandi.

24/7 thats really normal you'll get really stuffy nose on and off for a while yet, and the chance of nose bleeds. one of the many joys of pregnancy haha.

new- least u get loads of quality time wiv him while he's off school, im stay at home for the foreseable future, dh and i have our own business so if needed i step in but usually just oversea accounts at home. school runs were driving me mad until my 2nd lo went from nursery to reception, so glad i can now drop both up in the morning and then only one more pick up in afternoon, im loving the time i get with sienna all day, though saying that strugling alot of late i could sleep all day and she's very needy :)
