Mid June and July Firecrackers Group Due June/July 2017!

[Thejoie]

Oh Dobby- that has to be absolutely the worst feeling. I am thinking such positive thoughts and have so much hope for you. You are so right, you have to be in the moment and enjoy it despite the fears.

 

[Aphy]

Has anyone experienced itchy skin as a symptom? My legs are itching badly since yesterday and I don't know what to do about it. I keep putting cream on and then it helps for a short period but it just starts itching again hours later. Driving me crazy! Don't want to take allergy medication cause I don't know what's safe to take

 

[DobbyForever]

Thejoie you are so sweet. Definitely a dark time but I am a much stronger person for it. You have to love hate the symptoms. They stink they help remind you that there's a growing bean in there

Aphy I have not but I think I saw it listed in my WTE book under symptoms

 

[Aphy]

Thanks Dobby! As long as I don't have another symptom to be paranoid about...will hear from my doc about the highlights,thanks for the suggestion!

 

[DobbyForever]

Of course! It should be fine but I have the when in doubt ask policy or if the book says ask then I ask. But itching comes up a lot so it's not just you but hopefully someone witch itch experience can chime in

Aphy - skin stretching is a problem for lots of women in pregnancy, it's your skin preparing to stretch usually this early on.

Wannabe - I'm so sorry to hear about twin b


AFM - I got my first ever positive digital yesterday - I bought a few when ttc DS and looooads when ttc DD but I never took one on the month I got my bfps and since this is our last baby I wanted to see a positive digi just once, that's probably a little bit sad

 

[Thejoie]

Vanilla- awwww!!! What a sweet moment! It makes my heart flutter a little to see that "pregnant" announcement.

 

[Aphy]

Love seeing those words on an digital Vanilla,nothing quite like it I think! I'm glad itching is normal but it's just weird that it's only on my legs below the knee...it's not as if that skin has to stretch much (I hope)!

Thanks Dobby!

 

[DobbyForever]

Vanilla awww thanks for sharing! Seeing it as words on a screen is definitely that much better. I'm super jealous! The weeks estimators are off the shelves! I have never seen 2-3 or 3+, and I was so looking forward to getting some this time around. But oh well I guess lol

 

[Mummafrog]

Itching in pregnancy can be a horrid and unlucky symptom but it's important that you tell your health care provider about it hunny, they can give you safe antihistamines and creams that help and test your blood to make sure nothing untoward is causing it. I'm sorry you're getting that

Hehe yaay for pregnancy tests! I loved getting the digis, dobby you have to find one! XD I'll take one more in a week because I was my 3+ before I stop testing

I'm so excited about 5 weeks tomorrow for some reason.. but I'm having no symptoms tonight which makes me feel weird.. I just need to see this baby xx

 

[rainbowsun]

These early weeks of pregnancy are driving me insane. I had a dream last night that I went to my doctor and he told me the pregnancy was not viable. I woke up in a cold sweat, and even though I know it was a dream, I'm left feeling very uneasy. Logically, I know I had that dream because that's what I worry about during the day, but it's hard not to take these things seriously...

 

[Thejoie]

Those dreams are horrible!! It just leaves this heavy feeling in your stomach...
I hope it's far from reality...

 

[DobbyForever]

Oh hugs I am so sorry. I hate those. I find on warm nights I have loss dreams and so when I wake up in my sweat i think it's blood =\. Subconsciously we all worry even if we don't realize it. We worry because we care. Or it may have been associated with something else. In any case you are so right nothing to worry about. Maybe poas for reassurance? The two lines always cslm me

Thanks for your kind words. I did POAS, but I don't find it as reassuring as I did before, because I assume that if something bad did happen, the HCG would hang around for days afterward

Argh! There's no winning this, is there?

 

[DobbyForever]

It would hang around but it would be decreasing. Plus for what it's worth I was in immense pain and had bleeding with my losses. I was so miserable the whole time. if the tests aren't helping would bloodwork? My labs are free with insurance so if I ever get too worried I ask for a serial beta. But I think it was just a bad early preg dream and your little bean is safe and sound and cozy

 

[Girly922]

Hugs Rainbow!
I know how awful the pregnancy dreams can be. Last week I awoke in the middle of the night pouring with sweat and absolutely terrified, I dreamt that my dad had got sick and we couldn't save him. My parents are currently 5000miles away so I completely freaked out until I could speak to my mum the next day.

I looked up some mc stats which calmed my anxiety somewhat. The more I stress, the slower the days seem to be passing.

 

[Catalyst]

Im sorry I have been kind of MIA. Just been so tired when I get home I dont have the energy to read and write on b&b. Also feeling nervus.. now that we know we have twins Im nervus that the one she almosy missed in the scan might go.. and just one left. Or maby mmc.. cant wait for my next scan in just a week (minday 28th). Funny how things change. I always have been prayint for just one in all my early scans and never wanted twins. But seeing that heartbeat.... fell in love silly?

 

[DobbyForever]

Not silly at all. I felt the same way. Prayed to never have twins, wanted nothing to do with multiples. But once I saw the second sac, I cried and prayed and squinted for a fetal pole. And once it was confirmed on its way out, I still felt loss. Not silly at all and sending positive vibes that both babies are strong and healthy at your next scan.

 

[Mummafrog]

We all seem to be feeling the early weeks anxiety :/ I'm sorry about your scary dreams, ladies. Dreams are our hopes and fears being played out, it's just the brains way of dealing with them, try to let it brush off you xx

Aww Catalyst I'm praying both your babies grow healthy, strong and big, of course you fell in love, it's yours shows how strong your mummy instinct is.
I'd rather not multiples but I bet I'd be the same.

Ehh today has been a bit of a rough day for me.. the nausea is coming and the only way to keep it away seems to be snacking on salty/cheesey things.. I'm trying to keep it with a healthy base but not always succeeding, at least I'm staying off the chocolate.
The antibiotics are working for my poor mouth!
I've had a majorly emotional day after being super horny last night haha, so up and down. I've been crying so much about nothing, really, just feeling lonely and bored of being stuck indoors. Back to uni this week and will get more social contact
Also good news, a midwife I know and love will hopefully be able to do my care and home birth (all being well) she just needs to check with her supervisor because I'm out of area but yeah! Exciting

 

[Thejoie]

Mummafrog- have you tried ginger chews? My nausea started last night and I had these delivered this weekend and they calmed my stomach. I need to just eat two of them but they gave me a lot of relief so far.
