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

[Girly922]

When I was pregnant with DD I could never see myself being a mum of a girl. I was a real tomboy growing up and was very close to my brother, still am. But I love having a daughter, I'd love another girl. She's not exactly girly, but watching her friendship group girls are a lot more independent and assertive. All my friends and the girls in the local baby classes I joined all had boys. Going on shettles method, we're having another girl.

Good luck for your scans Betty and catalyst!

So I'm visiting my parents in Florida and yesterday I was having really bad right side pain. Kept getting worse so my step dad(hes an obgyn hospitalist) took me into his hospital to get checked out by his partner.

They did a scan and everything looks good. Crown to rump measuring 6w2d. 111bpm (Although the doctor told me not to read into that because all for scans last night had between a 111-115bpm so he thinks either the tech or the calibration were wrong). He said the pain im having is round ligament pain and take some Tylenol. They also think I might have a slight uti so they gave me some antibiotics for that.

So we got a little sneak peak and sneak hearing of the heartbeat.

 

[DobbyForever]

Yay for the sneak peak! Did you get a print out/ask about the placenta? Sorry the hb might not be accurate but yay for seeing it! Congrats!

 

[Aphy]

Oh Gags,I'm so glad you got reassurance in that scan and that everything is measuring well. Hope your ligament pain goes soon xxx

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Oohh exciting Gags x

I went into town today and found a dress that is relaxed below the waistline so will allow for some bloating and still be comfy

Glad to hear you found a nice dress that works

Aphy- the nausea would be like an annoying reassurance. It sucks but at the same time you feel like things are progressing as they should. You're a week ahead of me- when did it really kick in?

Girly- can you wear a dress and a cardigan over it?

My nausea started around 4.5 weeks. It's not permanent,more like it comes in waves on off through the day. Doesn't last particularly long and hasn't made me physically sick as yet (fx) and hasn't affected my appetite or food choices in any way

Do you ladies have any instinct on the gender of your babies yet? I'm hoping for a boy but for some reason I suspect girl,but even that surety changes regularly 😂

No instctint here, I just knew with DS that it was a boy, no feeling with dd and no feeling this time, we would stay team yellow but we're too nosy

I have read that O day and O+1 is s boy, whereas anything O-2 is a girl. CTP says dtd O day for boy and like O-5 and O-3 for girl swaying based on Shettles. The theory came from sperm observations but really doesn't have any scientific backing to it. That male sperm are stronger swimmers but female sperm have better longevity. They used to say the opposite lol.

As for ramzi all I know is that is has to be done early as the placenta can move so like 6 weeks. Left is girl and right is boy. No idea what the science behind that is lol

Girly I definitely want to do an old wives tale video at 10/11 weeks when I get my results back so I can reveal to my online friends at the end.

woohoooooo on getting 2-3

I have no idea on ovulation, my cycles are always all over the place but I do know we only had sex twice that month which made it all the more shocking!

We're staying team yellow too - I found out with my DD so will be exciting to find out at the birth.

I can't work out shettles method because we did it O-3 and O day Haha.

Scan tomorrow x

Good luck for your scan tomorrow!

I'm glad to hear all is well and how lovely you got to take a peak! hopefully the tylenol will help with the ligament pain.




Nausea is making me miserable, it's making me feel so guilty for dd as it feels like everything is a struggle.

That's great news gags!


Vaniilla, I can def relate to you with the nausea! I pretty much spent the whole day on the couch yesterday and today going to work is a struggle. I can't wait to get home and sleep.

Anyone getting sick from fruit and veg? I made the mistake of eating an avocado this morning and it made me sick, same with some fruit. I seem to be able to hold down bananas and apples, but i'm now a bit reluctant to expirement if I want to get anything done that day. I can eat food like carbonara and lasagne that doesn't have any veg and feel completely normal with no nausea whatsoever. Lasagne seems to be especially good at setting my stomach. Not exactly the healthy diet I had planned. When my sister had nausea and was eating less healthy than usual, I couldn't understand why she wasn't eating healthy for the baby... it's easy to judge others until you go through the same yourself... what foods are you able to hold down?

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Scan in an hour! X

I can't do red meat or greasy foods right now... But healthy food has been good for me.. And bread.. That's been the best.

Update us after Betty!!!

Luna- right now the foods I want (or more specifically can tolerate) are milk, cheese, and goldfish crackers. I'm growing a dairy farmer in my uterus...

Sorry for all the nausea ladies, I think I'm joining you guys on that. My stomach has been crazy... one second I'm nauseous and don't want anything-the next I'm ravenous and feel like I'm going to die if I eat. I ate after the gym last night and woke up at midnight with stomach cramping and nausea. So weird and annoying. My stomach bloating is getting crazy and my boobs are out of control already. I've only gained half a pound which I'm confident is all from bloat and boobs.

I'm still cramping several times a day- it was a little worse than usual the last two days but I attributed it to my GI symptoms too. I'm trying not to worry too much about it bc I'm not spotting but it's not pleasant....

 

[Girly922]

That's great that you got some reassurance Gag, and that you got to see your little bean!

Good luck Betty! Let us know how you get on.

I'm loving foods that are totally bad for me right now. I have a new symptom, one I remember well from my pregnancy with DD too. It doesn't matter how much I eat, I still feel hungry and as though I haven't eaten at all. I'm having to have a second dinner a couple of hours after we sit down for our evening meal just to get me through the night.
I bumped into the midwife at work today, she's happy to see me next week at 7 weeks, they don't like to make the booking appt until 8-10 weeks now but otherwise I'd be seeing her the week before Christmas which is just going to be hectic! She seems really nice which is good!

 

[Aphy]

My nausea has really kicked it up a notch today. Still not to the point of actually being sick but I almost wish it would cause then maybe I would feel better after? DH has no sympathy or empathy at all...sees me lying on the bed knowing I am feeling nauseas so he comes to lie next to me only to bounce around on the bed no matter how many times I tell him that I am feeling terrible. Don't know if it's pregnancy hormones or just normal frustration with his sometimes childish behavior but really seem to be struggling today. And to crown it off,we have to go to one of his friends girlfriends birthday get together in the next hour at some burger place whose food isn't great (I have met her once and I feel like crap...it's going to be SUCH fun)

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Baby measured spot on for my dates. All is well x

[Thejoie]

Awww Congrats Betty!!! Yay!!

Aphy- that sounds terrible. I'm sorry you're miserable.

Girly- that's good that she will see you earlier. So much easier of a wait!!

 

[Lunabelle]

What a cute picture betty! You can actually see the little buds and everything!

Girly I have to eat before going to bed too otherwise I will be sick. MS is frustrating and i feel like I'm not getting anything done, but then when I don't have nausea I get worried smth is wrong. can't win. I do kinda like having it as it makes me feel like everything is advancing well.

joie- I love milky foods too atm! And i'm drinking lots of hot chocolate, it makes my nausea go away!

 

[AmbiguousHope]

Hello! I hope all is well with everyone. The first trimester is such a scary and stressful time but thankfully it goes by so fast! I have a 3 year old son and a 1 year old daughter. I'm currently pregnant with identical twins that share a placenta and are due June 11. Although, my doctors told me (assuming they both survive) they won't allow me to go past 36 weeks (May 11). I don't want to join a May group because developmentally I'll be behind everyone else.
This is my 6th pregnancy, as I've had 3 miscarriages. I'm on constant pins and needles but so far it's looking optimistic!
Would it be ok if I joined you ladies?

 

[Girly922]

Sorry your nausea has kicked in Aphy, I fear mine is on its way in too.

Great scan Betty!!

Joie, I know, it's such a relief to know that I'll be on their books and my referral for my scan will be being processed.

Luna, my nausea hasn't really hit yet but I think this hunger is the start of it. We got take out tonight and it was the first time I've felt satiated since Saturday

Welcome ambiguoushope! Your scan picture is extremely cute!

 

[Aphy]

Ambigoushope,such a gorgeous scan pic! Welcome and I hope it's a h&h pregnancy

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Betty that's awesome

Ambi welcome!! That picture is fantastic!!

I've been crampy today too but I can tell it's due to constipation. That's been one of my most Antony symptoms. Even on the ultrasound report they couldn't see my left ovary because of gas...
