September Snugglers 2016

[MeganS0326]

I'm with you ladies on the migraine train. They totally suck! I did not have them when I was pregnant with DS but this time I seem to always have a dull headache that has progressed to a full on migraine a few times. I'm really not into taking medicine during pregnancy, even what they claim is safe, but I've caved and taken Tylenol a few times to take the edge off. I hope this goes away soon for all of us!!

I am so crazy behind on this thread. I have so much the catch up on! I've been so busy with brother and his family visiting but having a great time too.

Sorry to ladies we've recently lost and welcome to any newcomers we've had since I was last active. Congrats to those who have found out the sex, too! So far it looks like a sea of blue for us snugglers. Come on girls! Lol.

Oh, and I am 23!

megan - sorry to hear you have been suffering from headaches/migraine too. I have caved 2x and took tylenol. I don't like taking meds during pregnancy either, but 2 of my migraines were bad.

Just1more - thanks and sorry you are suffering too. They really can be debilitating for sure.

evening ladies!

havent been on here for a while. big hugs to you ladies suffering a loss =(

well Ive hit 2nd tri. still having pukey days but it does seem to be easing... wish the retching would in the morning. been keeping an eye on squiggles beat 'it' seems to be high 160/170, my niece is set on another girl lol im still feeling boy.

ah yes the lovely mirgraines... they are evil. unfortunately for me ive always been prone to them so is my mum and sister. get some paracetamol down you, cold wet hand towel across your forehead, lay down in a pitch black room, quiet room and sleep it off. i heard some people putting there feet in cold water, apparently it eases pressure in your head. personally never tried it, always done the wet towel works a treat for me. xx

I've heard the opposite about the migraine thing, about putting feet in hot water - as it draws the blood away from the head, thus relieving the pressure. Always conflicting info out there!

MummaMoo I can't believe you're almost 16 weeks!

 

[Alea]

OMG that means it won't be long until I'm nearly 16 weeks

 

[MummaMoo]

I know it's mad! Meeting my community midwife on Monday for my first antenatal appointment. Just think: 24 more weeks to go! (Or thereabouts)

I've definitely been getting migraines too :[ I've caved and taken tylenol a few times because when I feel a headache slowly getting worse and worse, I try to stop it before it becomes full on migraine at work. You can't teach a room full of 30 teenagers with a migraine! It's hard enough with a headache! When I'm at home and get one, I do the cold compress/warm compress trick and it seems to help a bit. It at least relaxes me enough to fall asleep and try to sleep it off. :[ Sorry you ladies are dealing with those too.

InVivo: my MS was at its worst so far in weeks 12-13. I'm feeling better now, but I'm afraid it will come back again worse...just like last time I thought the MS was over! Hopefully the MS clears for you soon!

Hope: Congrats on the healthy baby boy! Where are all of the girls in our group? Haha. I still have a month to wait until I can find out what we are having!

Sorry to hear about all the migraines, I had a 4 day headache but luckily it didn't escalate to a migraine. I really feel for you all.

It's happened... almost overnight my boobs have literally tripled in size. They hurt soooo much and weigh a ton! I hate this part of pregnancy. Amant will agree that we ballet dancers can't stand having big boobs, they just get in the way!!!

Am still so jealous and can hardly believe we are all due the same month. I only turn 12 weeks tomorrow!! Feel like I need to play catch up somehow!

 

[xanzaba]

Hi all- trying to catch up on all the posts after coming back from a 5 day cruise, missed a lot.

Avalanche, so sorry for your loss.

Congrats for all the ladies with good news and yay team blue!

Took a holiday from MS too, but I'm wondering if it was just all the cruise food

With my arm I had to take some tylenol (sometimes wished for stronger!) but by day 2 only took it at night and was weaned off by day 4. Now my arm is only sore if I use it too much, which is becoming more and more common now that it doesn't hurt all of the time.

Hopie- I hope that the phone tag is just because they don't think it's urgent to get in touch with you- my 1st pregnancy I missed the call and called back so many times, just to wait until the following Tuesday to get the all clear.

Oh, and I am 37!

 

[ssarahh]

Hope - congrats on baby boy!! How exciting

Invivo - sorry to hear you have been feeling rubbish. Hope second tri is doubly kind to you.

Xan - glad to hear your arms healing. Hope you had a lovely break!

 

[MummaMoo]

It's true - we've had no confirmed girls on board yet have we!?

I'm feeling girl though, just by the fact that I'm LOVING my fruit again, like I was when I was expecting Sophie. I've also looked at the Chinese gender prediction chart and that says girl too - has anyone else checked that out? Have you done it before in previous pregnancies and was it right then?

 

[amantila]

Mumma...the chart says girl for me too and I've been going crazy for fruit and strawberry ice cream. Everyone seems to think I'm having a boy though so we shall see! Will be interesting to see if the chart/wives tales are right or way off!

 

[aidensxmomma]

Hi ladies! I haven't updated for a while so I'm going to try to get all caught up.

Avalanche - I am so very sorry for your loss

Congrats to all of you expecting bouncing baby boys!

I think I'm having a girl. It's the feeling I've had since I found out plus I'm craving all things sweet. I've tried all sorts of gender charts and stuff since I found out and some say girl and some say boy, so they are not help at all. My OH is convinced it's a boy, though. I'll have my anatomy ultrasound on April 7th, so we'll find out then

Luckily, I've only had a few migraines since getting pregnant. I was diagnosed with chronic migraines two years ago and get them fairly frequently, so I'm feeling very lucky that I haven't been getting them while pregnant. I really feel for those of you who are suffering with them now.

Sorry to those still suffering from MS as well.

AFM - I bought a few baby things already. Mostly smaller things like bottles and onesies, but OH and I decided to buy a co-sleeper that was on sale as well. Has anyone else started buying baby stuff?

One of the other things I purchased recently was a doppler. It took me around 10 minutes to find the baby's heartbeat but once I finally did, it was amazing. Today, after I found the heartbeat I had my older kids come listen. They thought it was really awesome and then they each gave me and the baby a hug.

 

[MummaMoo]

With regards to the charts and old wives, with Sophie, I was by the book with liking sweet/fruity, Chinese predictor said girl, a needle on cotton said girl, nub theory indicated girl... but we're still not finding out till they decide to make their appearance!

Aidensxmomma, our anatomy scan is on the 7th too!

In regards to buying, I'm SOOOOOO tempted to start, although the big things we still have from Sophie and that's neutral anyway as we stayed team yellow with her, but my finger is hovering over a lovely hospital bag on Amazon. I want a new Moses basket mattress and changing mat, new bottles (just incase breastfeeding doesn't go well) and I don't care what MrMoo says, I'm getting some new vests/babygros in neutral. A new baby has to have new soft snuggly clothes! BUT - I'm trying to keep myself in check - there's plenty of time for that, Sophie still doesn't yet know she's going to be a big sister and we'd be stuck for somewhere to hoard everything until we've organised cupboard space. One thing I know I'm going to do differently this time is not get caught up on little outfits so soon, so baby will be in babygros more often than not. Getting very carried away with my thoughts here!!

 

[Mummy1506]

How's everyone doing? I seemed to have regained some energy which is great, feeling good more days than not now so thinking it's the second tri 'glow' coming!

We told our boys this morning we were trying to hold off until the gender scan then surprise them but as most of our families now know we didn't want it slipping out by someone else!

They were both excited, my eldest said he wants a baby sister but our youngest is adiment its boy & we said we need to think of girls names too just incase but he shouted at us it's a BOY ha ha.

Chinese chart says girl, I had a reading done before being pregnant which said girl in September 😳. I felt girly vibes in the beggining but not so sure now! Everyone on here also guessed girl from 12 week scan! 3 weeks until we know!

 

[Sweety21]

Mummamoo, I have used Chinese chart and it was right last time. It was a girl. This time it's saying boy. Not sure whether to believe it or not. Because it's always 50-50.
I don't have bad ms as was witg my dd. So, who knows.

 

[ciz]

Chart was right with my DD. This time it's saying boy and I'm feeling totally different this time round so it will be interesting to see if there is a boy in there this time.

 

[mari35racz36]

I looked at the Chinese chart each time with my kids and it was always wrong! Lol I haven't looked yet for this baby. I feel exactly the same as when I was pregnant with my DD, so maybe it's a girl. Either way we will be happy My gender scan is April 6th. Yay!
