September Snugglers 2016

[xanzaba]

Ooh, Just1- I am jealous! I want to feel baby moving. The lack of symptoms and weight gain makes me nervous (will it ever end?!?) and I would love to feel some kicking.

 

[MummaMoo]

Blimey, have just had to read through pages to catch up! Did I not come on here yesterday!? It was a bit mad here though, my 2 year old suddenly started throwing up yesterday afternoon so was stripping beds, cleaning floors and carpets... the poor washing machine is worn out! She was sick in the night too but never woke us up, it hasn't upset her at all. She wasn't too keen on a bath at 6.30 this morning when I discovered her with her vomit all in her hair though.

Right, if I miss anything, I apologise - my head is well and truly in the fog of baby brain!

Campn - can I just say again how great it is to see you back, your input/advice/experience is always great to read. As for a nub guess, I'm going to guess girl, it's not that visible but i don't see any sticky up bit so that's the reason for my guess. Am probably totally wrong!

Have also heard that below 3 is classed as good regarding nt measurement.

Movement - yes! Just today, whilst sat for break at work I felt two very definite but subtle kicks.

Welcome x-ginge!

I've been MIA for a few days because I've been so busy...but I just wanted to drop in and say hi! I will try to catch up when I'm not working...hours away from spring break! Wohoo!

Upset though that the food I'm craving horribly is a no no :[ All I want is a delicious salami and cheese sandwich with mustard. Whyyyyyyy????? :[

 

[campn]

Thanks for all the guesses ladies!! I'm not good at guessing either hehe. I don't see a nub sticking up either but could be hidden by the leg but I'll guess girl!

Mum- That's incredibly sweet and kind of you. I appreciate it so much! I'm so glad to be back here. Thank you for letting me!

 

[x-ginge-x]

Duhh forgot due date it's the 22nd September !

Oh no mumma I hope lo is ok now I'm terrified of stomach bugs!

Morning sickness is killing me, people say oh isn't pregnancy wonderful and amazing. No it's dreadful and I hate the first few months with a passion, I hate being sick it makes me worried and anxious and causes panic attacks thanks to stupid emetophobia. I want to go to sleep and wake in a few months time

 

[psychochick]

x-ginge: I totally agree. I told my DH that pregnancy is kind of like adolescence: it's a very impactful experience and a truly memorable one, but nobody loves adolescence and I'm not "loving" being pregnant. I love getting to know my baby, but I would be willing to do at a little later if I could by pass the symptoms!! Really sorry you're still getting MS, I think it'll go away in a week (by 14 weeks).

just1more: ooo what does baby bubbles feel like? I've been feeling odd stuff here and there. Like I could feel something literally stretching yesterday, and its different from my regular cramp feeling. I also feel tugs and stuff but I wouldn't know if it's the baby moving or not.

xan: I wouldn't worry about the weight. In fact if you've been eating well your baby's probably getting plenty of nutrients compared to the rest of us Also, since this isn't your first one, I've heard it's common that the later pregnancy doesn't affect your weight as much as the first one.

hopie: don't worry, I also have trouble believing it sometimes too. Even when i see my baby at the ultrasound it's like my baby's on the screen, is it really actually inside me?

Thanks for the reassurances, seriously feeling so much better now about the screening results. And since everyone's showing their scan pics, I can show one of mine. The one with the baby's profile is alright, not as clear as everyone else's and only half the body, but there's a scan of the baby's arm and hand with all five fingers that I just love:



That's the baby looking at us and waving The baby was sucking on the thumb at some point too but we didn't get a photo of that unfortunately.

 

[MummaMoo]

Thanks x-ginge - Sophie seems OK, no more sick at all today, she's just been a little less boisterous (usually she's a little firework). Have fed her little and often and made sure she's had plenty to drink. I think it's just a 24hr vomiting bug, the first time she's ever thrown up which is pretty good considering she's 2!

Our scan pics were close up so we've never been able to do a nub check on our little pickle.

With Sophie, when I first felt her move inside, it felt like a very light vibration, kind of like when you hold a butterfly in your hands and it's wings tickle as they flutter. Just imagine that in your tummy, and that's it. Haven't felt that this time, just nudges. At around week 13 (I think) this time, I had a couple of occasions where my stomach felt like something was doing flip flops inside, like being on a boat in choppy waters.

Psy I think that measurements completely fine, especially as you're measuring 13 weeks, the nt measurement does increase with gestation ... Cute pic too! Hello baby 😍X

Campn I think girl!

Hope everyone's doing well. Are all the team yellowers staying strong?!

 

[MummaMoo]

Standing firm as a team yellower here!

 

[campn]

Mum- I adore the self control of team yellow! I can't even wait for the anatomy scan to find out so I'm getting an early gender scan. It's kinda funny how we try to look hard at the baby's private parts and post it on the Internet to show others. When else could one do that!? Hahaha.

 

[x-ginge-x]

We were team yellow for baby 1, turned blue haha, we want to know this time but not making it public knowledge.

My nt measurement was 1.5mm waiting for blood results now, got a car seat and base for free today

So true! Post a baby's private parts on Facebook in an innocent "baby enjoying bath time" photo and it gets reported and banned as it contains nudity!

 

[xanzaba]

Yay x-ginge! Onto 2nd trimester with one less worry.

Okay, hoping to start a rash of bump pics. This was spurred by a friend of mine today saying that I was starting to show (she was one of the last ones that noticed).

16 + 1 day

 

[ssarahh]

Lora - staying team yellow at the moment! I did start to change my mind a couple of weeks ago but am firmly back to being team yellow!

Have posted my 14 + 3 bump pic. Definitely starting to show a bit although am still able to hide it quite easily under my clothes at the mo x

 

[campn]

Aww I love the bump pictures! You ladies are petite I'm so jealous! I look so much bigger this time compared to with DS.

Here's today's at 13+3 although I look more like 18 weeks I've also been feeling movements here and there but they're so subtle.

 

[Sweety21]

I really admire the patience ladies. Being team yellow requires way more patience than i have. But, I guess the surprise is all worth it.

just1more, I am so jealous. Can't wait to feel mine.

lovely bumps ladies. And great measurement psy.

hopie, it's surreal for me too. When I see baby on screen it's really hard to digest that baby is in there for real.

Afm, my scan went well and already decided to have delivery in the hospital I am visiting right now. We need to decide on c-section date so, it will be before the edd. The baby was measuring 70mm and head measurements 24mm. Hope they are on track. Here is the pic we got

 

[dreamer1316]

Hi ladies
I have been keeping uo to date but just not checking in as been very busy doing some home improvements plus suffering from the migraines i know some people can relate to! 13 weeks today, still 6 days till my scan i dont know how i will last the wait im so desperate to see my bean! Actually struggling to believe it as i have no bump and symptoms have all but gone. Lovely scan pics recently- making me jealous!

 

[MummaMoo]

Loving the bumps!

Sweety great scan pics!

Woke up with D&V this morning, feeling awful and not even water is staying down. Urgh. Hoping MrMoos parents will come and take Sophie so I can live in the bathroom!

Will do a bump pic when I'm back on my feet.

Sweety- such a lovely scan! Congrats.

Dreamer, hope the headaches go away. Mine have been better since I've been more careful about drinking a lot of water

Mumma- hope you feel better

Campn, sarah- lovely bumps! Thanks for spreading bump fever
