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

[BrandiCanucks]

Well ladies, it looks like I'm leaving you.

Baby Speck was all that is in there, thank goodness, no little company. Speck has a strong heartbeat, but the technician didn't tell me what it was. However, Speck is measuring a week ahead, at 9w0d, so my due date has been changed to April 27, 2011, meaning Speck is not a Blossom, or a Mayhem, but a Sweet Pea.

Here he/she is

You freaked me out too Brandi!!! Omg don't give us a heart attack like that!!
The measurements aren't too precise this early on.. I've been jumping around several days back and forth on all my scans... last week I was at 6w6d, this week (exactly 7 days later) I'm at 8w2d... LMP puts me at 8w1d, FF ovulation puts me at 8w0d.
I think you're welcome to stay here with us if you want and wait and see?

And that was one heck of an evap you had earlier


Becky - glad to hear its looking good so far.. I know its not totally out of the woods yet, but its better than you'd thought, maybe little baby will surprise you and just pick up the pace on everything soon!

AFM - had a great scan!! Pic is in my journal... looks like a baby now! or at least a cashew and not a grain of rice... baby had a growth spurt and now I jumped up to 8w2d as I mentioned above... got to see the umbilical cord which was awesome!!

My gos Brandi that was a scary moment!!!! Goodness girl dont do that!!!! Huge congratulations hun, but you're more than welcome to stay as a Blossom My widwife put my EDD at 30th April.. but Im being defiante, my baby is a May baby lolol

Ive finished my 2 days of training, wow I really didnt think I would get through today lol Got to do it all again next week but least I have a few days saving grace for now lol

My sickness seems to getting better... Im nauseous most of the morning, and if I go too long without food, but other than that I seem ok, and most food types seem to be agreeing with me yay!!! (no milk though blurgh lol) Tiredness is the killer.

Mummy how you feeling hun? New pills working?

Becky, I know things still not out of the world, but great news bean is fighting strong and I hope the fluid picks up hunni!

Cant believe some of your bumps! Wow lol .... I wont start showing till after Christmas I dont think Im usually a UK14 but bloating has made me get some size 16 jeans but its not bump its just bloating it goes up and down during the day. If I can lose a bit of weight, I may start showing a little earlier lol

Im sorry, baby brain has kicked in now, I cant remember the rest of the posts, but in my defence there was about 6 or 7 pages to read and catch up with lolol Hope you're all ok xxxxxx

Awww 24/7 sorry hun, how you managing with it? Have you tried ginger, in its many forms? (tea, busicuits etc etc) You're not taking too much iron are you? I found mine got better once I stopped taking iron (in my prenatals), now the best way I deal with it is eating when my body says I have to, and eating what I need to eat (I was conscious of high calorie high carb foods but now I eat what I need to) I found eating every couple of hours keeps the sickness at bay (low calorie snacks or Id be getting huge lolol) 1st tri isnt tooo long, soon things will settle down, and its all worth it xxxx

I just feel so sick, I seem to alternate between feeling sick or dizzy and spaced out. I've been taking the iron since yesterday, so don't really know whether to continue with it or not? My folic acid seems to make it worse, but I need that for my coeliac, so am abit stuck. All my cravings are for dairy or gluteny foods, and I can't eat them, so am alternating between plain crisps and marmite sandwiches, and both make me feel sick as I'm so bored of them.
I'm just fed up of feeling rubbish, and I miss my lovely hubby as I'm always feeling to yuck for our usual everything!! Sorry for moaning, AGAIN!! xxx

24/7 - maybe call your doctor? There may be a better iron supplement they can prescribe that wont' make you ill ... if thats what's doing it.
They will probably want to see if you are anemic before putting you on anything... I know I have never ever had any issue with low iron (regular blood donor) so I know I wouldn't assume I was having iron issues.. not sure what your history is?

I've been aneamic on and off for the last 10 years or so, since I was 12 due to my coeliac, but have always been symptomless with it, thats if these symptoms are actually that. I have a blood sugar level monitor, and my sugars are normal so it's not that, and they fit with aneamia. I mentioned it all to my GP on monday and he just said its fine, but may ring in the morning if still feeling yuck. xx

Brandi and Lisa- Congrats on the great scans!

24/7 - feel better soon.

New- glad you're feeling better.

 

[Tonnilou]

Lisa YAY super cute scan and excellant news.

Brandi OMG grats too, and you also scared me with your opening to that post. So sorry to lose you from here but YAY for the sweet peas gaining you.

Hope everyone else is doing great. So many posts to read I am such a slacker. Sending you all hugs XXXXXXXXXXXX

 

[lisaf]

24/7 - I figured you had a history of anemia, but wanted to check in case you didn't and were just guessing and possibly making your MS worse, lol. Hope you feel better. I understand why you'll wait a day before calling the doc, lol... I can never bring myself to call with something that is non-urgent unless its been going on for days.

 

[luckyme225]

24/7 feel better hun

 

[meow951]

Wow lots to catch up on! I have had a lot going on the past few days and haven't been able to really get on here.

My aunty has fallen out with me over us not inviting cousins to the wedding! To invite all our family would cost over £1000 for the meal. We don't have loads of money and it's not that we don't want them there. I don't think it's unreasonable but i'm trying to just keep chilled about it.

I ended up not going to work yesterday because i felt that ill and upset.

I'm struggling to eat as well and getting a bit jittery as we're nearing 9 weeks which is when baby died last time. Just been sick as well lol

24/7- Go an see you doctor! I spent all of my last pregnancy feeling horrendous when i really should have seen some one.

Loving all the sig pictures. They look so good!

How is everyone feeling then?

 

[lisaf]

meow - when it comes to weddings, you can never please everyone! If your aunt would like, could you offer to put them on the B list if the first ones can't make it?
I invited 120 people to my wedding and only had 60 come Made for some last minute downsizing and a few issues, lol!
Oh.. and my inlaws still complain about where I sat them I laugh at them more than anything for it, but seriously, I did the best I could, I had reasons for putting everyone where I did that I thought would make them happy.

 

[NickiNackyNoo]

Hi everyone, I'm due May 15th. First midwife appointment on Monday. I've been a bit slow finding this group....has taken a while to sink in!!!! xx

 

[meow951]

Lisa- We're just going to carry on with our original plan and take the moral high ground and invite her. If she doesn't come then i don't care. If we invite her sons then how can we not invite our other cousins etc. She always gets her own way and is a really nasty person when she wants to be. She's over 45 for gods sake!

We're only having 21 people including us two and i'm just going to go on and enjoy our big day!

 

[sequeena]

I need some hugs I think My last period was August 27th, I OV'd 3 days early so expected AF on Tuesday but she was originally meant to come tomorrow. I'm so scared I'll go to sleep, wake up and she'll be here I've got the doctors in the morning and I'm so scared I'll get bad news next week when blood test results come back.. poo
