I'm jealous you're still fitting in your clothing.. I've been out of my regular clothing since 10 weeks..

Sister tell another sister. I think I am going to cave and buy some legit Mat clothes next weekend because rubber bands and low hanging shirts are not cutting it

I finally broke down and got some. I felt embarrassed as this is our first and I'm just right around 14 weeks. The lady at the store reassured me that this is very normal at this stage.. I still don't believe her lol.

 

[lesondemavie]

Oh man I caved, gave up the rubber bands, and bought mat clothes at 12 weeks! 2 weeks of a rubber band on my jeans was enough!

 

[Mummafrog]

Oh no sorry some of you are poorly as well get better soon x
Looks like I have something called puppp which is like an itching condition in pregnancy but not harmful, going to the GP for some cream today. Anyone had any experience with it? Not pleasant.
I also have my physio session today for my spd which came back almost immediately this time.. I haven't done physio before so it'll be interesting, apparently I have an assessment and then like an exercise class

I fell asleep at 9 last night and had mad vivid dreams and kept waking up.. ugh..

 

[Thejoie]

My legs have been crazy itchy!! Usually layering my belly oil, and a heavy duty cream has been making it tolerable but there's no rash so hopefully not puppp

 

[Aphy]

I had periods of severely itchy legs so far but currently it's disappeared. Hope it stays away! My ms felt better last week but then hit hard over weekend again but today was a good day again. Still wearing my normal clothes but bump is definitely starting to show when I wear certain shirts (my shirts generally are quite tight fitting so that's probably why). I have had to start sleeping in a sports bra cause my boobs are so sore in the mornings if I don't. I've always had a not so full A cup but now I must be a B and if I'm still going to get bigger then I worry about stretch marks! Been having a lot more headaches and migraines so far which sucks since the meds we are allowed to take don't help.

I have always been quite slim built (54kg) but now I look and feel like I weight much more even though scale says 55.2kg! Can't wait for it to firm out properly so I at least look pregnant 😂

Really glad to hear some ladies ms is easing up. I hope you feel better soon Joie!

Sorry to hear some of you are sick, hope you get better soon.
Dont envy me.. was heavy before so I think it aint so bad that I have lost litle weight (3-4kg) think it will even up later.. although I hope I wont pile too much on later.
Would love if it was easy to find maternity cloths here...

 

[blessedmomma]

I adore my maternity clothes ladies!!! I always wonder why I wait so long. Although I do still have some regular leggings and sweatpants that are still comfortable too. And since I'm a sahm it's not an issue to wear whatever I want.

I'm very sick again today. It had been easing but his full force again this weekend and hasn't gone away again.

 

[blessedmomma]

Mummafrog- I thought I remembered puppp having something to do with the liver?? Never had it myself so I may be way off there. I saw a lady that had it on tv and looked terribly uncomfortable.

 

[second.time]

Is it OK if I vent a bit? After not being offered the NT scan and being told it's not available, I was able to get the NIPT planned and had the blood work drawn on the 6th (after a slight snafu where the lab tech thought I was doing my quad screening already). I've been waiting and waiting for the results and they're still not in, as far as I know.

Sorry to vent. Hopefully I hear back from them soon and this limbo is over.

 

[blessedmomma]

Wow second time! I have had several types of nipt ran and it's never taken that long. Which one did you have?? You should be able to get online and see your results. Did your dr give you the card they were supposed to with a website and the number to your test??

No, they didn't! It was supposed to be the Panorama but then they got back to me and said their lab no longer did the Panorama and only did a fairly new version of NIPT. There's no way I can see to track it online or get in touch with the lab. It's very frustrating!

That does sound really frustrating! Do you know which one they ran? And did they tell you how long to expect it to take?

 

[second.time]

It's called ClariTest, I guess a new version their lab has started offering. They mentioned two weeks but the nurse had said maybe one week. Right now, I just wish they'd give me some insight about the status of the test. I find it hard to feel like I'm in the dark.

Thanks for commiserating, blessed! I was able to find a few posts online where people go their ClariTest results back in two weeks so maybe it's just a slower turnaround time?

 

[second.time]

Woohoo! Got the results back -- all good! That's a huge weight off my shoulders.

 

[Girly922]

That's fantastic second!

I hope you're feeling better soon joie!

I'd lost quite a bit of weight before this pregnancy (we got married in September) but already I'm looking obviously pregnant. It doesn't look like fat or bloat so much, DD's nursery commented on it today. They waited until I mentioned being pregnant and then told me that DD has not stopped talking about her baby sister in mummy's tummy. They've said they'll keep reminding her that baby could be a boy. Lol.

 

[Mummafrog]

Blessed - no hunny don't worry, puppp is harmless itching in pregnancy that comes with a rash, I'm too early for obstetric choleostasis which is what is to do with your liver. Oc causes itching to the palms of your hands and feet most commonly and doesn't come with a rash, unless you scratch so much that you get one. My midwife says not to worry, it's just annoying!

Second I'm so glad you finally got the results and they're all good

I'm big already and frankly haven't been keeping an eye on my weight, my tummy is certainly more stuck out/round and I can feel little tickles from inside most days I tend to only wear leggings and soft things anyway so.. don't need much maternity stuff till I'm much bigger. But my bras are starting to be way too small! Need to find some and my boobs are ridiculously big so it is really hard

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Frog- motherhood has some very inexpensive bras and they go up to an N.

 

[Thejoie]

Girly: that's so cute! Your daughter is going to be such a good big sister!!

No more vomiting but I still don't have an appetite.
I did make a stop at the outlet mall and got new yoga pants and stopped at the maternity store and bought 6 tops and 4 tanks for $130! I'm sooo excited! I can't really wear them yet but I am excited to have gotten them for a good deal hehe.

13 weeks this week and because of my stomach issues and the last week of a horrible appetite- today my weight was back down to pre pregnancy weight but my belly keeps growing so that's good! I can't wait for it to pop out finally.
We are supposed to do gender reveal photos in 3 weeks... I hope it pops before then!

 

[TTCfirstovr30]

Joie - I cannot wait to find out what you are having!
