Oh that's good reiko!! Hopefully you will be off them in no time!!

I think it's just down to baby moving around plus if they switch from say breach to head down the heart would be lower if that makes sense? I find my babies hb just lower than my belly button and to the left.

It's been a busy day to day, had to tidy as my aunt was coming round then we went shopping then came back then I went and collected my daughter from her friends then started cooking a curry from scratch ( with an app called curry guy) but halfway through that our other daughter Lucy kicked the pc monitor that my husband was messing with and managed to cut in between her toes then we had to go to a&e for them to glue it came home finished the curry so I'm knackered now!!! 😴😴

It's so great to see all this good news - good test results, ech/sch bleeds that aren't endangering baby, revealed sex of babies, and some lessening of 1st tri symptoms!

I feel like I'm behind everyone, as I'm 13 weeks today and have only had morning sickness for a couple of weeks. However, I seem to be making up for lost time with the severity of it. I haven't been throwing up much, only a few times, but OMG the nausea and dizziness are hard to manage. I had to miss work twice this past week and the other days I barely made it through. Just got B6 and Unisom as the Zofran had stopped working. Still green, but definitely an improvement. I certainly have a ton of empathy for the ladies who have been dealing with this and worse for many weeks

I had my 12 week scan on Tuesday and all looks good. Also had bloods drawn for genetic screen and to find out the sex. We should get results either Wednesday (11/22) or Monday (11/27) because of the holiday. I'm excited because 11/27 is DW's birthday, so it would be an awesome gift.

Also got to hear the heartbeat for the first time on Thursday. It was so amazing and I am definitely shopping for a doppler now!

Broken - sorry to hear about the pelvic rest, but so glad everything else was good news after the bleed.

Foreign - so pleased for your good test results, but sorry you didn't get your team pink this time. I am glad to hear you are taking it well.

Wicky, I love the pictures! What doppler are you thinking of going with?

[ricschick]

Wicky great news on the scan!! Hope you feel better soon!

Happy 16 weeks reiko!!

I actually don't feel to bad today a lot better than most days!! And I've felt baby loads today!! It's lovely!!!! 😃😍

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

Aww that's great Ricschick! I've been feeling Nev move today while I've just been sat. That's a first.

Finally got enough energy to clean up the pigsty formally known as my living room. I'm on fire today!

 

[ReadynWaiting]

There must be something in the air! I had some chocolate (mmmmm) and managed to feel baby. It’s faint but noticeable.

 

[ChibiLena]

Happy 16 weeks Reiko!

I can feel baby frequently now. It's the sweetest feeling.

Next ultrasound this evening. So excited!!! Will tell you ladies if we have a definite outing. Hate the blood-drawing at the appointments though! I am not good with needles.

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

Oooo good luck with your scan Chibi! I hope you get to see something.

Happy 15 weeks to meeeee!

 

[ricschick]

Happy 15 weeks broken and RnW!!

Good luck chi! Can't wait to see a pic xx

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Happy 15 weeks Broken!

Have fun at your scan Chibi!

I am starting to feel uncomfortable while sleeping. I feel like I’m huge already and flipping from side to side in bed is causing effort. The fact that it will be a solid year if not longer before decent sleep is had is a hard pill to swallow. Thank goodness for naps!

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

Happy 15 weeks RnW

 

[Reiko_ctu]

Have a great scan chib! And happy 15 weeks to those that are there. Not long before all the May Mamas are out of first tri!!

I've been sleeping terribly for a solid week now. Maybe insomnia, maybe just the belly starting to bug me. But I have the worst headache this morning :/

I have a friend who is 38 weeks so we are getting excited for her baby to arrive and ride me over for a bit haha!!

 

[VieraSky]

I sleep fine but when I wake up I'm just so sore. Probably time to use the body pillow for me xD

 

[KittenLifter]

So much activity buzzing around here; I love it!

Happy 15 and 16 weeks to folks! And I love seeing more scan pictures! (Realized I never shared my last ones...maybe I'll grab a couple off the long sheet they printed out for us!)

I don't see anyone, my doctors have always dismissed my issues because of my weight. I'll absolutely look into it though, thank you!

Ugh, that is so disappointing that they don't even think it's worth addressing.

I'll put in another vote for acupuncture: tbh the first priceless gift my acupuncturist gave me, when I started seeing her in April, was just looking at me like I wasn't out of my mind, wasn't broken, wasn't making anything up, and wasn't an unsolvable mystery. Which was especially huge after my primary care doc (who I love!) was baffled, and the specialist ob/gyn she referred me to was similarly shrug-ful. But the acupuncturist? She just said, "oh, you have a hormone imbalance; we will work together as a team" and off we went. (AND she got me ovulating again!!)

Even with the most uneventful acupuncture appointments I've ever had (before seeing this acupuncturist), I always felt calmer & slept better afterwards, so hey! Not bad. But being seen as a whole person has come to be one of the parts I treasure the most.

 

[ricschick]

Acupuncture sounds like it works wonders!!

I'm sooooo tired today and just feel crap like I'm coming down with something! ( I really hope I'm not) and to top it all my dishwasher has decided to stop working 😩 I hate washing up!! So hopefully dh can fix it later! Fx!!!

Anyone got any appointments yet? Xx

 

[ChibiLena]

Happy 16 weeks to me!

We are Team Blue!!! Quite obviously I may add, haha. The doctor who saw me yesterday was so nice and took so much time with the scan. Lovely experience all around!

She measured the head three or four times because she thought she had gotten it wrong, as it measured more than a week ahead of everything else. I finally told her not to worry, she wasn't wrong in her measurements, as all men in my family have big heads, including my son, haha.

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

Ahhh congratulations on your team blue!
