September Snugglers 2016

[mari35racz36]

Hey Ladies, MS has really been kicking my butt for the last 2 days. I can barely keep anything down. I've been getting all day headaches too. Hoping today is better. I am getting the NT scan on March 2nd. Here they call it IPS testing. I get the scan and my blood work done the same day. Then another round of blood work at 18 weeks. I honestly only did it because its free and I get an extra ultrasound out of it. The outcome won't change anything for me.

Mummamoo - What a lovely scan pic Congratulations!! So happy for you. You are always a snuggler!!

mummy - I am so sorry for the bledding. It can be scary. But when I was pregnant with DS1, i had a bleed a 10 weeks. It was bright red blood too. I called my doc right away, got a same day ultrasound and baby was just fine. Turned out it was a pocket of blood on the outside of the uterus. Hang in there!!

psy - great scan pic!! Congrats!!

Great scan pic!

Well I've still not been seen!! Gp referd me this morning, they have just this minute phoned me I can't get a scan until Monday.

I have everything crossed as the bleeding has stopped for now. Only had a small amount after the big red loss yesterday afternoon & not any clots .

 

[psychochick]

Psy- So happy you got a lovely scan hun! Glad everything is going great. Sometimes pregnancy can throw the body out of whack, just limiting your carbs will get your sugar greatly down. When I failed my 1 hour glucose test I had to be retested in a week so I cut carbs way down and I passed.

Thanks that is reassuring because I have been eating a lot of carbs for the MS since it's the only thing that sits well in my stomach!!

Sorry you have to wait Til monday Mummy. I'm sure everything is ok in there but the waiting isn't nice.

Is anyone else really fed up, or just me? Ive been feeling really down this week. Tearful, overwhelmed. Not helped that my boobs are suddenly agony and the sickness seems to have peaked. And I have 5 demanding kids keeping me company as its half term 😏

I feel like I need a long holiday! X

MummaMoo, what a beautiful scan picture! I am not sure if you had publically announced the pregnancy before this point, but have you now? You're a snuggler in our hearts too Any plans to find out the sex or will you stay team ?

LoraLoo, sorry about all of the confusion Have you got a date for your scan? I hope it isn't too far away and then you can be at ease, whatever the outcome.

Mummy, any update? I'm sorry you're having such a horrible time right now. Are you UK based? If so, I'd definitely contact the PALS department at the hospital as that isn't acceptable. You should've been seen and had the right support you needed.

psychochick, what a beautiful scan picture! Thanks for sharing. What is your EDD?

LittleDreamer, mine was 1.8 and so I think 1.2 would be fine. I am sure that she would've given you some kind of indiciation if there were a problem.

ssarahh, a mother's day announcement would be just wonderful! I hope your scan is soon. I presume you've had your booking in appointment by now? My scan date was given to me at that appointment but I know it can vary between each NHS trusts. Maybe give them a call tomorrow before the weekend to see if they can give you any idea of when it'll be?

Mari, sorry to hear you've been having some horrible morning sickness. I hope things get a little better soon

AFM, I had my 12 week scan today! Our little baby was in there measuring at 12 weeks exactly which is still in keeping with my EDD of Sept 1st. Everything looks great which is such a relief.

 

[LoraLoo]

Glad your scan went well alea- 12 weeks is such a milestone!

No scan date through yet, so have to just wait patiently (&#128553

Oh isn't it just? We had a private scan at 8 weeks which was reassuring but 12 weeks is just such a big hurdle to cross. I was so relieved to see a healthy baby there especially after our loss last year. I hope your scan comes through soon

MummaMoo, what a beautiful scan picture! I am not sure if you had publically announced the pregnancy before this point, but have you now? You're a snuggler in our hearts too Any plans to find out the sex or will you stay team ?

Thanks Alea,

No, hadn't made a formal announcement, just told my closest friends at work and the bosses. None else knew until a couple of weeks ago when my stupid bloke boss practically announced it at a meeting
It's out there now though, officially on Facebook (classy, I know!) Including pics!
As for finding out the sex, we're staying I'd like to know, but Mr Moo is one of these that wouldn't 100% trust the view of the sonographer so it would kind of feel like a waste of time.

Oh wow! I hope you gave him a stern talking to?! That's so wrong that he announced your wonderful news.

Yay, I'm too! Were you with Sophie? We were with Maisie and I loved it.

 

[hopie2015]

Congrats to everyone on their wonderful scans! So happy for everyone.
Yes A, 12 week hurdle does feel like a big one to pass after a prior loss.

PsyC- such a great scan photo! Carbs sure do increase the blood sugar. It is all I can eat too.

Just1- congrats on 12 weeks and glad you're feeling better!

Mummy- sorry they wont give you a scan until Monday. I guess in case any bleeding over the wknd, just go to hospital er and get a scan right away. Rest up plenty and it should be fine.

Mari- sorry the sickness has been bad again. Hang in there. Almost 12 weeks and it usually gets better for you then, right?

LilDreamer- congrats-- those are great results!!!

Lora- sorry you are feeling down. With 5 other kids home my goodness! You do need a good r&r break.
I have been feeling very down as well. Sure it is this hg and a lot of isolation. Plus both of my parents have been ill. I know I should talk to someone about the depression, but I don't feel well enough to go out to an appointment yet.

Anyway, don't mean to be a downer. I am praying for brighter days ahead soon!

 

[LoraLoo]

Sorry you're feeling down too Hopie. Feeling physically poorly really doesn't help matters at all. Fingers crossed we both feel better soon! Xx

My lovely friend, who knows ive had a really tough few months, has just booked me in for a reflexoligy session for a bit of distressing/pampering, I'm so touched! Ive never had it done before- has anyone else? X

Yeah, team with Sophie too - otherwise known as "team too tight to pay to find out" in our case!
It was a lovely surprise though. I was so relieved to have that baby out I wasn't even that fussed to look!

And yes, told the boss he deserved a slap for opening his big mouth. Surprised I got away with it, he's an ex-naval officer!

 

[MummaMoo]

Ooh, lucky you Lora! That sounds like heaven! Never had it done, only had a facial but that was lovely. I've always wanted hot stone therapy.

 

[LoraLoo]

Ive never had any sirt if pampering treatments before- so really looking forward to it!

We were going to stay team yellow, but I really want to know now. The only one we didn't find out with was Eve- I kind of like that she was our only surprise in a way x

 

[ciz]

Scan day tomorrow. Such a mix bag of emotions of nerves, excitement , sickness.

 

[hopie2015]

That is soo nice, Lora!! What a special friend. You sure have had a rough few months. Enjoy that session! I have done it a few times and it is AMAZING. Be sure to tell them you are pregnant. And just relax and enjoy! (and drink lots of water after)

Ciz- wishing you the best of luck tmrw. I will feel the same way before my 12wk next week.

Team yellow here. I feel it is a girl. Maybe b/c of all the sickness.
I love surprises!

 

[MeganS0326]

Loving all this team yellow!!! We are doing yellow this time too. I wanted to be yellow with DS but hubby got his way so this time it's my turn. lol

MummaMoo - When you posted your scan pic, I immediately thought it looked boyish. I can't wait to see if I'm right!

 

[MummaMoo]

Ciz, lots of luck for tomorrow. It is such a nervous time but I'm sure the nerves will be unwarranted

Megan, thanks for your thoughts on the scan. I'm feeling girl, but not by the scan pic, just by the fact I'm loving fruit at the moment, like lip-smacking pineapple, and juicy nectarines, crunchy apples... all of which I don't usually go for... and I was like this with Sophie. I kind of wish the sonographer didn't take such a close up shot because I'd have like to check out the nub theory.

 

[MeganS0326]

I just love the guessing! So much fun. I guess we have to have something to while away the 40 weeks.

With DS I knew from the moment I peed on the stick that it was a boy. This time I'm kind of up in the air but I'm leaning more towards it being a girl. But that is just because everything has been so different this time. I, too, am craving fruit and salads which is totally not my usual. It's more of a texture thing though. I love the crispness if that makes any sense. lol

 

[campn]

Psy- Same with me! I've been eating lots of carbs but really you gotta do whatever you can to curb your nausea and get through the first trimester right!? You can eat better once you feel better!

Ciz- Good luck tomorrow!
