Lulu congrats on the great scan

Flutter its a horrible thing for us to be dealing with while we are pregnant as if pregnancy isnt stressful enough for us but we are strong and can get threw it

[Lulu]

Great news flutter on your scan. So sorry your DH is being an arse! Men never cease to amaze us do they, at times they can act like they are the only people on the planet

 

[Lulu]

Right going to attempt to put up my scan pic, still couldn't get it scanned in (DH is away with his laptop tonight and that's the one that attaches to the printer/scanner thingy!) so I've taken a photo with my phone. Not greatest but you can make out that baby was sucking it's thumb! (or picking it's nose as the sonographer suggested )

 

[hope88]

Beautiful scan pic lulu so cute.... picking his nose lol

 

[Mrskg]

Great news flutter x sorry about dh

Lulu gorgeous pic x

 

[PerpetualMama]

yay for the good scans Lulu and Flutter
sorry you have to deal with an indifferent OH flutter... But WE were anxiously waiting for news!
I have been unable to get the babyandbump pages to load for the past 3 days. Even today I have to reload the page 10 times or sign out and restart and that hasn't worked too well. Very frustrated!

So I think the cyst I have is acting up so I called my ob and they are having me come in today at 2:30.
I am thinking they will take a peek at our lil one. Yay at least something will make me happy today because my head is throbbing due to a migraine.

Great news with all the great scans I had an appointment this morning and had a quick scan, didn't get a picture but he/she was bouncing all over the place

 

[NT123]

How's everyone getting on with symptoms and bumps now?

As for me I feel like I have a little bump, have not put on any weight as yet tho (ms put pay to any chance of that) but feel sickness is fading and bbs less sore but sooo heavy! Don't feel my energy levels are much better tho, hopefully soon I'll start feeling like I can do more!

As much as I like not feeling so sick I'm worried about the gap between symptoms and kicks, after a missedmc I'm petrified that I won't know if something is wrong without symptoms. All I really have now is a lot of tummy niggles which I hope is just stretching and growth!

 

[flutterbaby]

hey ladies good to hear your doing well

afm my 2 year old got chicken pox my 7 year olds birthday today and me and dh are still split up but at least sivil for now lol

 

[shocker]

Aww flutter it sounds like you are having a seriously rough few weeks, hope your 2 year old feels better soon and 7 year old has a good party, glad that you and dh are being civil, and hope your doin ok

Nt I have a definate little bump, i can hide it in some clothes and just look like i've put on weight but its definatly sticking out and its quite hard! I've lost all the weight i had gained back while my sickness was pretending to get better so now am back to being a jean size smaller than pre pregnancy but was at the hospital yesterday and have been given new anti emetics so hopefully the constant sickness will stop soon! I get lots of tummy niggles and have been feeling little goldfish movements he/she is very active theyre constantly bouncing around its so adorable! Energy is up slightly but have been taking a lot of supplements and vitamins the last two weeks and found they are really helping me perk up, still fell asleep in the middle of eating lunch yesterday but getting there I wouldnt worry at all about the niggles, i've had some really odd random feelings but spoke to my mum and midwife and she said they were round ligament pains and a few times could tell it was actually baby hitting a nerve, try not to think about lessening symptoms either because at this point the placenta has taken over so your bound to feel less symptoms, as odd as it sounds i feel less pregnant now than i did at 12 weeks even with the sickness persisting,bump and little movements!

 

[flutterbaby]

am i being a little emotional i asked a lady on another site who was doing first tri readings for a reading i pm'd her as i didnt know i was preg at the time i was 3 weeks then if she sees any more children and she got back to me 2 days ago and said you'll get a bfp in few month its a girl i said id since found out i was preg and i was 14 weeks and ill update what it is i n few weeks but thanked her for the reading she then emailed saying she'd been tricked and no wonder she got muddle cards etc so i told her it took her 3 months to reply changes happen then and tbh i didnt appriecate the attitude thanked her again for her reading

but im so fucking upset right now i never at all said she was wrong my preggo vibes must of been oming in strong for her to see bfp etc and was made up she said girl but what gets me is its on my siggy so why the attitude its not like i hid iti just didnt know when i pm'd her

 

[rosebud111]

hi flutter! i hear you on being very emotional and sensitive. i am very touchy right now too and have to remind myself that it's the hormones talking when i get that way! just want to say don't get worked up over the lady and her reading. these things are purely for "fun/novelty" and shouldn't be taken seriously. if anything, the reader was probably just trying to protect her image and reputation and that is why she said she was tricked and what not. i'm also sorry about the rough patch you are going through with your OH. but, i think you will be fine no matter what the outcome and things will work out the way they are meant to be. continue to take care of you and your little baby!

yay for ms fading! i am similar to you in that energy is going up and ms has faded big time! i can actually do things now instead of go straight to bed when i get home from work and it feels great. i think my bloat has gone down and i have a little bump but sometimes i am convinced there is no bump and i get sad. i want it to be obvious already and not just look chubby!

up since 330 AM, and with my mind still racing over an hour later no hopes of falling back to sleep before my alarm goes off In a major panic about who will watch the baby while I go to school and then while I do my clinicals. 2 eldest daughters, who I had been hoping would help, both told me this week that they're each moving to different states thousands of miles away come January. Add to this, this past Sunday a friend from church told me that her six week old granddaughter is in a coma at the hospital because the babysitters husband/boyfriend shook the hell out of her. IF she survives she will be blind and likely mentally impaired-possibly deaf, too . The baby's parents were friends with this couple for quite some time.
My long standing babysitter-my grandmother- recently moved to Florida to live with my uncle because of dementia kicking in. I swore I wouldn't worry about the sitter situation until after 12 weeks, an now at 15 weeks I'm overcome with a sense of dread. I am happy about this little one...I just don't now how on Earth I'm going to manage. Even if I quit school -which I've dedicated the past 4 years to getting straight A's in order to get into this program- I still would need to find flexible childcare and continue to put up with a major lack of work in the painting business. DH wants to buy a house while the market still sucks but I'll lose all financial aid if we do it before I'm out of school. Not to mention how "fun" it would be to pay a mortgage on one income AND have to pay for classes, books, and supplies. If I postpone school I also postpone his desire for a house and have to listen to him piss and moan about how he hates to live in this house. Yeah...it's no wonder sleep evades me...

sorry...really needed to vent

Oh perpetual... I am so sorry to hear all of this.
Your friend, her grandchild and her family are in my thoughts and prayers. I truly hope that they throw the book at that man and he gets what he deserves I will never understand how someone can hurt a child like that.
