As for me I have 1 week today until v day!! I'm overly excited about that this time around which is weird because I don't usually care so much!
Very very tired today and yesterday curious to know about wether it is because baby is having a growth spurt or possibly the heat? Hmmm

I read the baby development page for this week and it says the uterus is only a couple cms above the belly button but I swear I can feel little miss a bit higher!!
 
@daniyaaq i think Ruth is a lovely middle name for a baby girl specially in honour of your relative.

I find the sickness/nausea makes me not wanna even think about baby names. Plus because we had decided on finding out I didn’t wanna stress about finding names this time round. DH is still set on Hudson and we though about Robert as a middle name. DS1s middle name is John which was my dads, DH dads name and also my gramps middle name. DS3 has Christopher as his middle name which is DH name and my dads middle name. Robert is DH middle name so I think that maybe our choice. So possibly Hudson Robert.
 
@Catmumof4 im excited for Vday too! I have just under a week. I have been extremely tired maybe the last 2 weeks. I’ve been taking my iron so I doubt it’s that?! The heat defo doesn’t help!
 
So exciting for you guys reaching Vday.

Scan day tomorrow. I keep thinking with my luck baby will have legs fully crossed the whole time and I’ll come out still not knowing gender.
 
@daniyaaq
I'm I'm sorry for ure loss hon.
My Shein order came yesterday and I love it.
Just make sure u read the reviews under the items u want to get hon. I got all my stuff in normol size but one top I had to buy in the next size up. Think I wud of been OK going for my normol size tho because it's a stretchy top.


Congratulations to all the scans.

I just had my first growth scan and baby boy wud not show his face haha. He was too busy pounding my bladder with his fists. Yes he was caught at it red handed lol.

He is on 50th percentile and weighs 1lb 9oz which is spot on for how far I am.
Off shopping now.


Hope everyone is ok.
I had a bug but I'm doing much better now.
 
@daniyaaq that would be about right wouldn’t it! Hopefully baby isn’t being a little monkey and you get to see what team you are!!! Eek!

@Suggerhoney what bits did you get from shein? Sorry you’ve had a bug! Hope your better. It’s so lovely he is doing so well but maybe not so good he was caught red handed punching your bladder (hehehe) what are you going to buy??
 
I keep looking at baby clothes but lots are summery so I’m going to hang on for a bit to buy more bits. The autumn/winter stuff starts coming out before summers finished so I’ll buy then!!!! All the tiny clothes!!!! So broody!!!!!
 
@daniyaaq I was so worried baby would have her legs crossed and she did but after getting up and having a jump she moved just enough to see! Good luck tho

@Mummy2Corban my partner just came in to wake me up for some lunch! I slept all night was awake an hr and now all day so far and still feel tired... they did my bloods when I was in hospital and tho they didn't tell me what they were I'm sure they would have said if there was SOMETHING wrong?

@Suggerhoney I'm glad baby is doiñg well even if being a little pain in the butt LMAO! Have fun shopping. Wish I had the energy Lol!!
 
@Catmumof4 well you would have assumed that they would have informed you! But saying that I’ve had a few occasions of low iron and no one has told me! I always assumed if they didn’t contact you then all was ok.
 
Glad it's not just me! Just woke up again so getting up now lol x
 
Love Ruth and Robert as middle names, those are lovely choices!

Definitely feel nervous about baby having legs crossed too. It’s never happened to me but both my SILs have had it and ended up team yellow because of it. This baby is so active and really responds to ice cold drinks so I’m sure I can make it move enough to show the sex. And if I don’t see it I’ll get the sneak peek blood test.

just booked a 3 day holiday to Whistler for a family in a few weeks, very excited to get away for a bit! Then we’ll have 2 more 3 day holidays over the rest of the summer although the next one is with DHs parents and siblings and their kids. It will be fun but a tad stressful being around my MIL for that long. Luckily we all have our own cabins or campsites.

Could be down to just being exhausted from the bit in the hospital. When I was in a few weeks ago I had 2 units of fluid but didn’t rest well when I was there and needed to sleep for like 2 days when I got home!

I did that a few weeks ago. Looked at so much cute stuff but none of it was cozy and I’ll need nice cozy stuff for an October babe!!
 
October can be pretty mild here but still wanting more of the warmer stuff and a thicker cardigan etc! I’ve 3 sleepsuits and a pack of vests in up to a month. So I’ll keep an eye out for some warmer bits later on.

@Suggerhoney how did your shopping go?
 
Wish you guys can share some of that sleep. The insomnia is real here. Went to bed around 9pm…woke and stayed in bed woke up again a few times eventually I was sure I done a good stint only to find it’s 11:30pm. I been tossing and turning and getting small light sleeps here and there awake again and it’s only 2am. I’m going to get out of bed now and try eat something the nausea and hunger is getting me.

Ugh it’s such a conundrum. I’ve had the insomnia too. Thankfully after I get the girls breakfast I can head back to bed for an hour or two, it’s much easier to sleep in the mornings. I only work Saturday morning and all of our other morning commitments are done for summer. Getting up would be a struggle because of the poor sleep. Also had to get up at 4am 2 nights ago being hungry and couldn’t get back to sleep since 2.

I wonder if there’s something natural that is pregnancy safe to take for the insomnia… it definitely doesn’t help your nausea to be sleep deprived.
 
@Reiko_ctu it doesn’t get at all. I can usually get in a nap in the day but still would like a full night sleep. how are you getting on with the low doses?

Definitely felt a bit worse last night but I know coming off diclectin will always be tough, I'd rather start now and do it slowly and hope to be off in a few weeks!! Going to do the 1 in the afternoon for another day, and then tomorrow try and cut out 1 of my evening pills to 3 a day. Hope it goes ok! I would love to be pill free by our mid July vacation so I don't have to worry about timing... I forget enough when I'm at home let alone camping :/
 
@daniyaaq Unisom is safe in pregnancy - helps with nausea too. I used to take xanax for sleep, then once I got pregnant with my 1st the OB switched me to that. Its over the counter. I find the doxylamine succinate version works better for me, and I only have to take 1/2 tablet a night. Its great too it doesnt leave me groggy the next morning. (Ive been on it for 7 years and for the first time ever a couple days ago accidentally took it in the morning instead of my lupus med lol woops - i was a little sleepy but could still fully function all day)
