[new_to_ttc]

Meow fantastic news about the scan hun, so glad they were able to quickly put your mind at rest Your dates may change again at the 12 week scan so stick with us May Blossoms xxxxx

 

[24/7]

*Sinks into great depression re coeliac disease and everything it means I can't eat*

 

[meow951]

I will definately stick here whatever! I expect a few of us with due dates right at the beginning of May might get moved forward to April.

Does anyone know where i can buy jelly bellys? I love them but on their website i can only see mixed boxes or 1kg bags of single flavours. Woolworths used to sell them but obviously don't now and i really really want some!

meow- glad your scan went well

lisa- you just reminded me that not only will I be pregnant over the Holidays (and hopefully enjoy tons of food) but I'll also be pregnant during Easter. That means tons of cadburry eggs and the joyrancher/straburst/nerds jelly beans!!! This poor child is going to be hooked on sugar.

Feeling a bit better today, thank you everyone for your tips. I had to make myself drink water and get some toast in me but it didn't come back up, which is a good start. I'm wondering how long I will be rocking the seabands. I did end up telling two people at work yesterday, kinda nice for someone to know. Can't wait to announce it to the world though!!!

meow hun, you can get bassett or shop brand Jelly babies from supermarkets, you can get the tiny ones from sweet shops that sell sweets by the jar, and also tradditional jelly babies (proper ones not mass produced ones lol)

Glad you feeling better lucky hun xxxxx

The candy stores at the mall usually have Jelly Bellies where you can fill the bag with just the flavors you want... the grocery stores here have some fun mixes like the fruit bowl one (fruity flavors only) and so on. I LOVE the sours! I hate the generic mixes because I always end up eating a gross flavor.

Ok... SO weird, but you just reminded me that I had a dream last night that I was eating jelly bellies... I remember holding a dark purple/black one up to the light to see if it was grape or licorice... it looked purple with the sun behind it so I ate it and it was grape and SO yummy!!

Ok, I may have to try some of these things, but I'm betting we have lots of stuff here you guys dont get We're not totally deprived you know, lol!

Meow - congrats on the scan.. you have to stick around anyway as the person who started the group not getting away from us now!!

new-to-ttc - congrats on the MS glad it made you feel better!

Strange question, but when laying down can anyone feel their uterus? LOL. Seriously.

 

[lisaf]

not through my fat layers
I do think it starts to pop up a bit around your time (From what I remember in my books)and since its not your first, stuff like that happens sooner than for first-timers.

 

[Onelildream]

I'm asking bc I can't. It worries me that I'm not going to have a baby with a hb. But I'm just paranoid, and need a scan.... 1 week to go

 

[lisaf]

Aw, the worries are normal, esp with your past experience. But I don't think feeling it or not is going to tell you anything at this stage!
1 week isn't too long... hang in there!

 

[Onelildream]

24/7 Sorry you are dealing with celiac! Crappy. When I was preg with my son I was allergic to gluten. IT FREAKIN SUCKED! One time I broke down and ate a whole bag of bread...I regreted it for days but I was so emotionally attached to bread!!!!

 

[ticktock]

ok so i went for a scan got a heartbeat of 115bpm (at 6+1) but the doctor put me back a week my due date will only be 18/05/11

I had to have emergency scan today due to spotting but saw heartbeat and was 115bpm too! I've been put back a few days but am still a May blossom.

Was relieved to see heartbeat but still bit stressed lol she took ages to find the baby and heartbeat, was the longest minute of my life!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Oooo meow do you just want particular colours of jelly babies?? lol How fussy!!! If you have a newsagents that sell jars of sweets they'll probably separate them for you We have a sweet shop in Conwy that sells the old fashion sweets, stuff I havent seen since I was a little girl, and stuff that dates me, my mum was amazed when I showed her the shop there were sweets that tok her back to her childhood lol

Its hard to comprehend how day to day things here arent readily available over there. When I go on holiday insde Europe its acceptable not to see the sweets because its holiday pmsl.. its easy to forget you are a whole lot further lol

Yes great news about the MS... wow it hit hard this afternoon lol Such a relief, and the tirdness too lol.... now I need it to settle down so I can get a good nights sleep lol

One.. I dont think I can feel my uterus lol... BUT I do get this really hard swollen area low down at night it eases off in the day when Im walking round, dont know if thats my uterus, its a little to the right not totally central lol

 

[Wiggler]

with DS i could feel my uterus from about 11/12 weeks, cant feel anything yet with this one, but i'm still only 8+6.

Had some success today without my Lucozade, after eating choccy, dairylea dunkers and dinner just now i feel fine! i even had a coffee!! hopefully i can start eating my usual food again soon. i miss jacket potato, roast dinners, stew and dumplings. hehe.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[JJay]

Glad to hear there've been lots of good scans

I had mine today and heard the heartbeat, it was wonderful got moved forward to edd of 3rd May (ff said 9th) which ties in with my lmp

Beanie measures 20.8mm and had a hb of around 170. So happy

 

[meow951]

new to ttc- I only like the flavours like lemon, lime, orange etc. I hate like the conconut and wierd flavours.

Just been food shopping, didn't buy any food that i could make a meal out of and somehow spent £30! All we seem to have it sweets.

Might have to ask my mum to cook us some food while i feel so sick lol How lazy of me but i just can't cook or think about what i want to eat. OH is thin enough as it is!

 

[Crissie]

Hey meow you can get jelly bellies at House of Fraser, you can even pick your flavours! They also somtimes sell the mixed boxes at TK max at the tills. My fav is peach and lemon and my all time worst is butter popcorn - yuk!

 

[lisaf]

I think buttered toast is worse than buttered popcorn. I do love Juicy Pear..
ok you girls are making me want some now!

 

[Onelildream]

eew...they make buttered toast flavored jelly bellies?

 

[lisaf]

yep, NASTY... they make SO many flavors... some are the Harry Potter ones that are meant to be we weird or nasty... like the spaghetti one that tasted like cold, day old, cafeteria spaghetti.
They have a garlic one that people love though that made me throw up. I think that was a 'serious' flavor, not one of the Harry Potter ones.

I may have only really seen these because I went to a Jelly Belly factory store, lol.
