:wave: hi smallmoomin! This is the right place for October babies so welcome! :-D

Congrats on gender reveals! Team pink is definitely catching up!

Great bump jcliff! Mine is starting to appear too - so exciting! I still haven't felt anything yet...

In terms of restless legs, I used to get this before I was pregnant and took magnesium supplements which really helped. I have no idea if this is safe to take in pregnancy and it may even be included in the prenatal vitamins we take but it worked instantly for me when it happened. I have been fine so far in pregnancy.

My headache has gone today - it feels great feeling normal for a change!

Welcome smallmoomin!

I think I found the culprit of my daily non-stop headaches. Allergies. I've been sneezing and coughing and having stuffed up and runny noses.. it feels like I have fluid in my ears too. I figured it was just pregnancy but I decided to take regular Claritin for a couple days and my headache stopped and has not come back. I've suffered from allergies for years but last year I did not have any allergy flare-ups at all so I guess I just sort of brushed it off.. I guess they are back full force this year!

Yesterday I slept pretty much the entire day and night except for a couple hours. The 2 days before that I barely slept at all maybe 2 hours, then today I took a nap for 4 hours. I'm really sleepy now! Catching up on those 2 days without sleep I suppose.

Also, during our ultrasound on Saturday she said baby is sitting directly on my bladder, her head was pressed right on it.. which I already knew because I am running to the bathroom over 15 times a day. She is preferring the right side of my uterus, has all the extra space on the left but doesn't go there! I can feel her moving around sometimes, she's a wiggle worm for sure, it's such a neat experience. I love her already and I haven't even met her yet

Welcome smallmoomin, your name reminds me of a little boy I used to teach YEARS ago, he was a kindergartener named Moomin (and was SOO cute and naughty!) I will never forget his big eyes and little face.

Starbrites: I've never had seasonal allergies, but lately I've been waking up sneezing every morning. I think it must be pregnancy related. Hope the claritin helps!

I think baby moved up under my belly button, which must be why I was so achy this weekend.

a few times today I have had sharp pains maybe an inch directly below my belly button. What is that?

Congrats on all the gender reveals. It's been a couple days since I've been on so I had a lot to catch up on.

I can't remember who posted it but my right hand is also falling asleep on me. Never my left. It's very weird.

Anyone else still have nausea or vomiting. I got so sick yesterday after taking my vitamins that I vomited my whole lunch and it hurt so bad I've never vomited so hard in my entire life. Kinda gross but I was vomiting so hard that I couldn't control my bladder and now I have all these spots on my face like I was straining so hard that it actually left those blood under your skin marks. Sorry I don't know what it's called but it looks horrible. I tried to take a pic of it but I can't get a clear pic of it. I don't feel nauseas all the time just randomly but def worse yesterday and today. I was actually thinking I might have had food poisoning but I don't know.

My allergies are horrible too. Great bump pic jcliff, so cute. I'm def feeling bigger and also having trouble staying on my left side. Right side actually seems move comfortable but I don't think baby likes when I toss and turn overnight because a couple of times I've woken straight up thinking oh wow if that the baby moving around. But could have just been a dream lol

This sounds strange, but it's what my OB asked me at my 12 week appointment. Did your vomit taste sour? If it did, then it was not morning sickness related, it was a virus/illness. I was sick as a dog for 48 hours and could not hold ANYTHING down (including water) at 11 weeks 1 day. I asked if my MS could have been responsible and they said that if it taste sour or astringent, it's a stomach virus/illness.

Hopefully you start feeling better. If not, call your Dr. so that you don't become dehydrated.

I still have nausea/vomiting at 17 weeks, but I also have hyperemesis gravidarum. It has gotten a lot better though. I can go nearly all day without throwing up but will get sick all of a sudden and it will seem like none of the food I ate that day actually digested and it just sat in my stomach. I hope you feel better!

Me I've had the spots on my face a few times, too, they're called petechiae, it's just broken capillaries from increased blood pressure caused by the retching. Mine usually disappear within a week. Looks horrible, but they're harmless.

My m/s comes and goes, but when I have it, it's awful. I had weeks of throwing up my breakfast every morning, then two days with only nausea over the weekend, which was a welcome relief, and then it came hurtling back in the middle of the night on Monday. I feel ok so far this morning, touch wood, only mildly nauseated.

I'm seeing the midwife tomorrow so I'm going to ask if there's anything I can do/take...I've tried ginger, crackers, lemonade, sea-bands, etc etc already and nothing's taken it away, though the sea-bands did help for a while in the earlier weeks. I did not expect to still be having this at over 16 weeks!!

I hope you feel better soon, it's miserable :/

In your face anterior placenta felt a good few kicks yesterday, although very dull I could tell it was the baby eeeeeek.

I have been vomiting off and on but don't feel nauseas much anymore however my last pregnancy I was sick almost the entire pregnancy 6+ times a day.
For me if I took iron supplements I was terribly ill the whole day as opposed to off and on during the day but I had to take them as I was very low in iron.
If it keeps happening I would look at your vitamins and see if that is making you sick

Uurrgghh I'm one that still has sickness so weird it comes on at any time of the day or night but I don't actually feel too bad some days then it just comes on! I've got the midwife in a week so will see what she says

I had a really vivid dream last night that I was at my 20 week scan and was told BOY! I am convinced its a boy so we will see but it was so realistic!

In my last pregnancy I had sickness upto 20! It'd go away for a couple of days then I'd start been sick again. The good thing was though I lost weight n didn't put on till third tri, with breast feeding and running round after my toddler I finally ended up back in size 10 jeans which I'd not been in for absoloutly years lol.

I have no idea if I'm posting in the right bit lol I'm due the 13th October x

Welcome Smallmoomin and Congrats.

Welcome smallmoomin!

I've had the wee broken capillary spots on my face a few times this time round when my ms has been really bad. Like someone else said they usually last a week or so. Hope everyone who is still sick feels better soon!

Yesterday evening and still this morning, I feel very achey in my lower abdomen, is it just things stretching more as baby has a growth spurt do you think? I'm worrying so much more this time round since our mc. I've also had a very busy past few days, could it be I've done too much?

I feel achy some days, my doctor said it's just everything stretching. It is very worrying but I usually just sit down for a while and have a cup of tea, usually feel better after that.
Also try drinking loads of water and having something to eat x

 

[kel21]

Allstar I think it could be either! I've gotten really sore from doing too much and from what I assume is baby growth spurt!

Welcome smallmoomin!

I feel really sick today, but I think it is just a relapse of my stomach bug. I will be surprised if I don't end up throwing up. And my dogs are on my poop list! They woke me up barking at about 3 am, and I only started dozing right before the alarm went off at 5:45 I plan on not letting them nap all morning, we'll see how they like that!

 

[Mama1985]

Hello everyone!! I just got my due date so I was wondering if I could come and join you ladies?

I'm due on the 31st October
