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

Aww don't worry about it pretty. TBH I am surprised my gyn is doing transvag today with me this far along. Especially since we know already that abdominal is successful as I had one in the er last week. My guns are picture happy, and they only need one or two for the files so I find if I tend them before they start I get like 4-6 pictures but if I forget I only walk out with one maybe two and usually not the best ones. 12 weeks will be sooo cute. I love 12 week scans

Ya, I'm excited. I was just looking at an ultrasound pic my sister had at 13 weeks with her son (4 years ago) and the profile of the face looked so good. But, obviously, I'm way more concerned with a good heartbeat.

Sorry about the birth experience you had with your son Ellie, that must've been very scary for you both. I completely understand the focus being on a healthy newborn that is cleared to come straight home with you.

Glad you're feeling better wannabe, the sugar cookies sound very appetising right now! Lol.

Welcome oculi and Zaly!

Pretty, I had a transvaginal scan at 12wks with DD as they couldn't get all the measurements abdominally. I'll wait to see how they get on at 12 weeks this time.

I had an early scan today, baby is measuring 9+1 so only a day behind and was wriggling about all over the place. The tech had real trouble getting a heart trace as it just wouldn't stay still. She was happy with the overall heart rhythm but wasn't 100% that the heart rate was accurate from all the wriggling. She calculated it at 121bpm though so nicely within normal ranges. We also told my parents this evening..they had already guessed, along with my brother and SIL but I knew that anyway. I was just surprised they hadn't said anything until we showed them the scan.
Anyway, here is our little worm. DH says his gut instinct is that baby is a boy. I guess we'll find out in July

I had my 2nd office visit today, and my baby is doing great! Heart rate was 170 and baby was moving around like crazy! So they weren't able to get a good pic, but it was really cute to see! And now I can relax a bit again

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Great news ladies x

 

[808malia]

Is anyone else feeling super exhausted? The last few days I have been so tired... Not my usual.

 

[lesondemavie]

Baby measuring 12+3 (or really 12+2 and a half) with a little heart thumping away at 155 bpm 😍



I spoke to the PA today about my confusion over my EDD and baby measuring ahead, and she went through it with me. I had an 18 mm follicle in the am on 10.18, a +opk in the evening on 10.18 and again on 10.19, -opk on 10.20, and a temp spike on 10.21. She said to go with 10.19 as my O day which actually makes me 12 weeks tomorrow and puts my EDD at 7.12.17. Wanna can you adjust the first page for me? Thanks!

I have my anatomy scan booked for January 31st!!! Can't wait to find out!!!?

How is everyone doing? My nausea has been moderate this past week but this morning it's definitely increased (typical since we have plans to meet friends for lunch). During my very early pregnancy stage (weeks 5-7) I had severely itchy legs from the knees down that went away by itself...well it's back. For the past 3-4 days I can't stop scratching and nothing helps at all. Obgyn doesn't think it's pregnancy related (though I'm convinced it is) and all he suggested was to try camomile lotion and if that didn't work,to go to see my GP (not the most helpful of doctors my obgyn)

Besides the nausea and vomiting (and now the itchy legs again) I have nothin else going on my side. Bbs are still sore,the actually feel like they got a little bigger again recently with the pain to prove it

808malia,I hope end of Jan comes quick for you!

Lesonde,lovely scan!

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Lovely scans ladies. We announced on social media yesterday - seems more real now!

[Thejoie]

Aphy: I used my belly oil on my legs and a thick lotion for a few days in a row and it really helped!!

Lesonde- great scan!!!

Betty- how did your announcement go?

 

[Weebles]

Betty, we just announced on FB too! I don't post often and would have waited until the gender scan but it's his kid too, lol. He's been bursting at the seams for weeks.

I've been feeling the baby move since Christmas morning! It woke me up and I wasn't sure of what I was feeling at first but I'm absolutely certain now. I was woken up in the middle of the night last night too, it must have been doing a somersault!

I've pretty much breezed through the first trimester, only a few days are left. There is so much we have to do, have to buy.. It's going so fast.

 

[Aphy]

Weebles,so exciting that you can feel baba already!!!

Congrats to both you and Betty on the public announcement,can't believe time has gone so fast for you both!

Thanks Joie,will give it a try. Hope it helps me too. What belly oil are you using?

1 more week til our 12 week scan! Getting excited and impatient!

 

[808malia]

Aphy- My nausea had started to ease up at around 9 weeks, but since I hit 11 weeks it is back at full force!

Weebles- I think I have been feeling my baby move also! At first I wasn't sure, but it feels like a twitching feeling really low on my left side (where my baby currently is located). Its definitely not gas or hunger pangs... It's exciting!!!

 

[Betty.Rubble]

Thanks ladies. Announcement went great - overwhelmed by how many people were happy for us.

I've had a couple of possible flutters but still not sure if it's wind

 

[zephyr]

Would it be okay to join? I'm due 27th July. Found out I was pregnant 6 days before af was due and it was quite a shock. Had a scan at 6 weeks to make sure it was just one baby as I already have a set of fraternal twins, they will be 5 in May.
This will be baby number 7. I havnt announced yet, nobody really knows except a few close friends. Next scan is booked on the 13th Jan

 

[second.time]

Welcome, zephyr! Congratulations!

I THINK I've felt the baby move a few times but it's tough to say. Little thumps and flutters, but sometimes I go a long time without feeling it again. I hope it gets stronger soon.

My next appointment is on the 3rd. I know I won't get an ultrasound, but at least it will be nice to hear the heartbeat and know things are generally OK. I'm also going to double-check about the NT scan or at least schedule the quad screening.

Since I'm a little over 12 weeks now, I'm trying to wean off the unisom/B6. I'm hoping the nausea will ease a little on its own. On the medication, it's been great; I've had a mostly normal appetite and enjoyed eating all kinds of food. But I'm worried I'll have some withdrawal nausea. We'll see.

 

[Weebles]

Welcome zephyr!

Second.time I don't feel movement all the time either, in fact not often at all. Hope you feel good off the meds.

 

[Thejoie]

Zephyr welcome!! I'm due the 26th!! Congrats!!

Aphy: I've been using Burts Bees mama oil. I looooove it! I had my itchy legs again yesterday and this morning and loaded up on it this morning and I've been comfy since. I don't know if pregnancy plus winter is causing this or what but it's horrible!!!

 

[Aphy]

Joie,don't think we have that oil here so I started this morning using some tissue oil I had lying around the house. Haven't noticed much difference yet but I've only used it once. It's summer here so don't think it's weather related at all. I guess it must be a rare symptom cause it isn't well documented anywhere.

My nausea is really worse this week that before. I'm hoping it's my body's way of ending off my morning sickness with a bang and I miraculously wake up on the first day of week 12 and it's all just gone...ladies,lie to me and tell me it's going to happen that way

I have that horrible overfull feeling constantly this week too but no bump yet or anything to show for it

Zephyr,welcome and congratulations!!
