[anti]

Anyone have hip pain yet?! I thought I had sciatica at first, but now I think it's pelvic girdle pain. Gonna ring the midwife in the morning buy I can barely walk!! I'm in so much agony. I can't afford to stop work now but I'm in so much pain I wanna cry all the time! I get a very sharp pain in my left bum cheek and it's stops me moving and walking. My lower back and hips are starting to hurt as well. Probably from all the hobbleing I've been doing. Can't believe how sore it is!! I do t want go to work tomorrow! Don't want to ring the out of hours number on a Sunday to speak to a midwife... But this really hurts and has got alot worse today.

I was having the same issues anti, Its the Sacral Iliac joint. I went to my chiroprator for an adjustment. After she has me doing squatting exercises and lots of walking to strengthen the muscles. Not having anymore troubles, but yours sounds much worse than mine were, I only had a sharp pain if my bum if I moved a certain way.

 

[bumpin2012]

Ok, Im thinking atm. But im sure thats gonna change before May! I can't wait to find out if the girls who have their Gender scans soon are right!

 

[aimee-lou]

Found out today that there are going to be 3 May babies in my family lol. 1 on my side, 1 on hubbies side and (all being well at the scan on Friday) ours.

It's a good thing! It means that people are focussing on the other pregnancies!! It means that we can carry on without all the pressure we had last time. I really had hoped that it was true all the 'second time round no-one cares', so hopeful! (makes me sound odd but I really don't want an fuss lol).

 

[mamicoch]

I'm gonna guess for now.....hoping baby will cooperate & we can find out on December 22nd!

I feel your pain.... I have not been able to sleep for about a month now. I also have the sciatic nerve pain as well as MAJOR hip pain. Can't lie on either sides, most nights when I can get some sleep I sleep sitting up. I ice it a lot and sometimes it helps and I also apply a heating pad (very carefully). Mine makes me feel like crying all the time too. Feels like the worst growing pains in the world mixed with sciatica. I go every week for a massage AND to a chiropractor and it is still this bad... Gunna talk to my dr at the next prenatal appointment. But my dr last time just told me to take Tylenol every day if I had pain and I don't want to take anything during this pregnancy so im not sure what else to do.... Let me know if your midwife suggests anything natural. I do a bunch of stretches the massage therapist told me to do as well as baths which help for a bit too. Good luck and sorry to hear you're in pain too

Well we told everyone about the pregnancy today.. it went okay
Most of the same comments I got was.. maybe it's a boy this time and are you kiding me !
The family is excited esp. the girls..
My DH is kinda at odds with his family and I begged him to say something to them but he didn't ( even tho he was talking to his dad this evening)
I felt bad that they might find out via Facebook so I sent his parents a small e-mail.
I don't want to get involved in their tiff but I felt the deserved to know.. without finding out on FB
Our families are so different, mine is very close where my DH ( because he is adopted) alienates him from family things but gets upset when he does the same thing..

Hey guys, hope you are all well!
I'm off work today, had a really severe headache since yeterday morning, was in tears last night. Took some paracetamol in the night but didn't even touch it. So i'm off to the doctors later.
When i phoned work my boss very saracasticly said "you've got a headache? Fine." and hung up!! Charming.
I've been terriibly tearful this weekend, i feel like a crazy person, and once i start i cant stop!!

On a plus sided i'm sure i felt baby on Friday. I was laying on the floor on my tummy and where my belt buckle was pushing against me i felt like a little wave/flutter type feeling inside. I dunno, but it made me happy anyways!
Everyone doing ok? Anyone else had a super bad headaches? Can the Dr give you anything?

 

[bumpin2012]

Numan: I think you did the right thing, some people just shouldn't find out via FB no matter how rough the relationship. I find it weird how some families can operate. My OH's family also alienates and excludes him because he chose to better his life by getting out of a bad situation in his home city and joining the military. He had to move to another province, but he has a much better life. His parents give all their time and attention to his siblings, and can barely be bothered with my OH.

 

[aimee-lou]

We still haven't told family (FIL is the only one who knows but he is in another country lol). We had kind of thought that we would keep it to ourselves for as long as possible, even until the new year, but we have to go to visit family in Early december and I just don't think it would be fair to do that, plus it's just more stress. I have a few 'ownership' issues with my family and my hubby doesn't really get on with his side, but we are thinking that after the scan we'll re-think and try to make a suitably low-key announcement, especially seeing as we are going to be the 3rd ones to, it will look odd if we don't. TBH I would be happy to just cut myself off and get on with my life, but I know that can't be done, and that it's just me being selfish.

We havnt told DHs family, if they find out then it's tough crap, his mum fell out with us over our wedding (she tried to ruin it) then sent us both abusive messages all the way through our wedding day, bit told his dad she's done nothing and it's all me!! She also Internet stalks me on fb and twitter, and probably even here and makes up lies about me because she is an awful bitter woman, DH went round on Friday planning to tell them and she shouted go away through the door at him! I never put the scan as my profile picture or DHs on fb so she wouldn't know before he told her and never mentioned it on twitter either but it's tough crap now, if she finds out by being nosy then though luck but she will never know this baby anyway, she hasn't bothered to see LO since April even though we've never stopped them and DH has even invited them on numerous occasions, they say I make them feel unwelcome but its just an excuse, iv even offered to go out so they could come round! She tells people I won't let her see him! (she saw him twice of her own initiative without me or DH Suggesting it before April) Awful Inlaws!!!

Iv not been arous recenty because all my Internet allowance is nearly used up and with moving I have no wifi atm!

Im guessing girl with this baby! I just have a feeling! I'd be so shocked if it was a boy, iv even bet DH I'll swap my iPhone 4 for his old crappy iPhone if I'm wrong haha! Going to book gender scan this week for beginning of december!

Hope Everyone is good, my ms is still slowly disappearing hopefully I should be back to normal soon!
And boobs are nearly back to normal! I don't wince putting my bra on anymore lol!

I think I felt our bump on Saturday! Same kind of feeling. Nothing is consistent yet though I'm eagerly awaiting another flutter.

As for headaches, I get migraines from time to time. I have special meds for that but have also been told that the occasional ibuprofen will not cause problems so long as it is only rarely. I was glad to hear it since paracetamol doesn't do much for me either. We have a special number in the hospital to call here to check on medicines during pregnancy so I spoke with a specialist.

 

[bumpin2012]

I can't say for sure that I feel baby at all!!!

Sometimes I think that maybe I do, but I think its still too early. I really want to feel baby kick.

I went shopping for some baby gear this morning. Staying team yellow is really difficult! Everything is clearly gender specific, even the greens and yellows! Im thinking of going more boyish than girlish. There are headbands with flowers that can girly up a boyish outfit. I did manage to find a few onsies.
I also found a really cute Tshirt. Hubby is a big Toronto Maple Leafs fan (its a pro hockey team for you ladies across the pond!) This tee has the team logo on it and underneath says "Toronto Maple Leafs - WE are fans!" Its more for hubby than for me, and he loves it!

 

[mamicoch]

I'm pretty certain I'm feeling baby. And when I'm getting ready for bed, my tummy is really hard and there is a little area that is definitley more solid than either side, & my hubby & I are convinced it's our baby!

I've been so ill today. Had the most horrific headache & sickness. I can't eat, trying to drink plenty, but just feel awful. Almost halfway through my last night shift now, then got 6 nights off, thankfully! And we have the local Christmas Carnival on Friday, which I'm really excited about, cos then we can get all Christmassy!!

 

[Jai_Jai]

I can feel bubs too - I felt my DD at 16wks and they say you feel them earlier this time - just like flutters or little kisses on the inside - lush feeling but defo not wind if you think you are feeling your baby wriggling a bit then you most likely are!!

for all the baby kicks

 

[aimee-lou]

I've been feeling baby for a couple of weeks now. Last night I felt some serious weight shifts, and today I've woken up and both hubby and I think I've 'popped'! It's still not kicks, just wriggles and flutters, and shifts in weight. But crazy that I've felt it for a couple of weeks already.

Scan on Friday! I can't wait now, just want it out of the way. I feel like I'm being left behind slightyl! lol

 

[future_numan]

I think I have felt a few flutters but nothing for sure..

Well I received a e-mail back from my in-laws and they did nothing but blast me for not telling them and implementing that they weren't worth of a phone call
I have read and re-read the e-mail and in no way did I implement anything..drama !

 

[Jai_Jai]

oh gosh future_numan what a nightmare what are you gonna do? does DH know you emailed them?

Sorry to hear that... I kind of know a little of what you're going through. We OH and I planned this pregnancy but didn't tell anyone we were trying (just jn case it took a while, which it didn't I got pregnant right after stopping birth control) but when I called to tell the future in-laws.... My future MIL said to me "well.... I guess it's what you wanted".... I was really hurt because it's whT we BOTH wanted that's why we Went off birth control. And for weeks after if she asked about my morning sickness and saw how sick I was she kept stating "YOU wanted this, deal with it" even though I never once complained about my morning sickness (to her anyways). She kept telling me I was acting stupid for having another baby when my son came so early and with all the complications in my last pregnancy I shouldn't have had anymore kids "just in case it happens again". I was so hurt and felt like if I had had a miscarriage she would have said "oh, that's it, just give up" Until finally I couldn't stand it anymore and told OH to set her straight on the fact that even though we are not married yet we DID plan this and we BOTH wanted it. I told him to tell her if she said ONE more negative thing about the pregnancy she wasn't going to be in this baby's life at all.

Family drama are awful! Feel quite blessed as I have good relationship with my own family and my in laws.

Have had an odd little flutter, felt my son at 14 weeks so not too surprised.

Woke up with a start on Sunday morning and bubs must have got an adrenaline rush cause that was definite movement!
