May & June 2022 Munchkins

[Sander]

Been feeling crappy lately This has been my most challenging pregnancy symptom wise and I think part of it has just been having them all in a row. With the boys aside from early nausea I sailed through each pregnancy with no problems. I used to say if I hadn’t had an ultrasound I might not have even known I was pregnant!

This time I’m really struggling mainly with loss of appetite/nausea, insomnia (which is arguably the worst part) and upper back pain which I’ve never had. I also am getting like tension headaches behind my eyes?? Ugh, normally I don’t like to complain but I feel like my butt’s getting kicked and we’re only 12 weeks in!

At least this will make the fact that it’s our last baby a little easier to be happy about

Babybump - Glad to hear your scan went well and there's definitely a heartbeat.

Yoshi - Sorry about being sick. :/ I've thrown up once with each pregnancy. With my first, it was from what I assume was food poisoning. The 2nd was cuz I was really hungry and didn't eat something quick enough. And, I'm pretty sure that's the last time I've thrown up up to this point. Hoping to stay vomit free this time, but we shall see.

So, ya, super annoying. I've done the test twice before and got results, no problem. Dunno what went wrong this time. Anyway, a retest kit is on it's way and supposed to be here tomorrow. Gonna follow the instructions very closely, send it back ASAP, and hope for the best.

Is all the info on the first post correct and up-to-date? Please let me know if I've missed anything.

I have officially thrown up this pregnancy.

Oh no sorry ! Hopefully it passes soon !

@Sander sorry your not doing to well this time around . Each pregnancy does take its toll in one way or another ! Last 2 days I feel like I’ve been a hit by a bus ! So drained !

DSs pregnancy started off easy, but then i got tinnitus at 17 weeks totally out the blue few weeks later my iron and b12 was out of whack so had 12 b12 injections over 2 weeks , wow they were painful! Then the SPD kicked in earlier than it did with DD2 . He still managed to stay in there for an extra 6 days despite 3 sweeps and being 2 1/2 cm dilated for 2 weeks hahaha !

Going to book my 16 week appointment after my 12 week scan and will be assigned a midwife she will be getting told I refuse to go over for health reasons/ delivery which Ive mentioned here !

Pretty I hope your next test comes back with a gender result !

 

[Babybump87]

Just noticed on the front page we have no boys yet !

 

[Sander]

Hope they can expedite this test for you Pretty! I guess Canada post is what it is though, lol.

My date is May 24 now, I know it’s not a big difference but anyways haha.

I had my virtual midwife appointment today - she asked if I wanted a reassurance scan since I wasn’t going to see them in person until 16 weeks and I’m like…. Sure So they’re going to book me in in the next week or two. I’ll take all the glimpses I can get!

Oh that’s great ! Any chance to see baby is a bonus !

So...this ramzi theory. My 6 week scan pick isn't great but, I feel like the placenta might be on the right (as in on my right, on the left of this pic). What do u think?

It looks like it is on your right, I think ramzi says boy if on your right?

Yay for a scan! I don't have a scan until the end of December with my doctor, I am considering paying for a scan at the beginning of December just to double check the gender and make sure little one is good

 

[Sander]

Yes MrsT I would agree with you. I would guess placenta is here:



So if that’s an abdominal scan it would suggest girl, transvaginal suggests boy.

Yes they booked me in for Nov 25! So the scan place is purely diagnostic and one of the sonographers in particular is a stickler for not guessing on gender before 20 weeks. I’ll be roughly 14 weeks at the time so I’m trying to come up with a clever way of asking without asking to see if they’ll guess for me anyways lol. I thought of talking to them about skull theory and be like: ‘oh I’ve heard if you have a lot of experience you can tell by the head shape’ and then see if they’ll just check between the legs Suggestions welcome - I just don’t want them to think I asked for a peace of mind scan but was secretly trying to get the gender info like a big jerk My gender scan is a week later so if they don’t tell me it’s not a big deal, it would just save me $65 lol.

I don’t know what’s worse. The Constant nausea or the nasty nasty in my mouth that won’t go away. :/

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Well, I just opened my SP retest kit and guess what... There's No FUCKING Collection Tube. So, now I'm gonna have to wait for another kit that probably won't be here til next week. I am so fucking over this. This damn kid better not be this much trouble once it's here.

Wow that's ridiculous! They should give you a full refund at this point in ADDITION to sending you another kit. This is painful.

 

[Sander]

Oh my word Pretty that’s annoying. If you make a stink can you just make them give you a voucher or whatever for the clinical version? There are clinics that do it in Hamilton. I don’t know how it works because they bill you at the office though

I agree!

 

[Sammyrose334]

Aw, that is super annoying!! I hope you can get a new test and get your results soon!! They should refund you!
My nausea comes and goes! Just ordered a Doppler, I’ve been trying to decide on buying one or not for a few weeks now & finally ordered one. Lol. My next appointment is on Wednesday at 12 weeks, she’s supposed to listen for baby’s heartbeat then. Anxiously waiting over here!

So found out by blood test that I'm having a girl. Not happy at all. Heart set on a boy. I asked hubby to try for a boy after and he said no. I'm so depressed and not even looking forward to having this baby or even buying clothes and he's upset at me. I just want to cry.

Sorry Cinnamon that you’re disappointed I was like that with my second - gender disappointment is so real. Something that helped me was picking out a name and buying an outfit for them to go home in. It’s ok to feel sad! With time you will get used to the idea and once baby is here it’ll just be your beautiful baby. My second son ended up being my most snuggly cuddly baby and I couldn’t imagine my life without him! But it took a while for me to come around to the idea of him being a boy.
