Hey guys! I have been gone for awhile but I'm back! I was on spring break (perks of being a teacher) and drove all around the country visiting family and friends :] It was nice to see everyone!

I had an appointment on Monday and they listened for the heartbeat and did that alphablablah (I forget what it's called haha) test and everything seemed great :] I asked her about the headaches/migraines I've been getting that sometimes last for days at a time. She suggested trying magnesium tablets...has anyone used those before?

I have my next ultrasound in two weeks on April 14 and will hopefully be able to find out the gender then! Getting very excited! :]

Mumma...my lips and hands have been very dry no matter how much lotion I use. Ugh!

Campn...it's no longer April Fool's Day and I just saw that post and I have to admit...you definitely fooled me haha.

Desiree...I really like the name Jaxon too...Jackson was on my list by my husband said no. We will name the baby Lincoln Allen if it is a boy and Avery Marie if it is a girl.

Hope...love mint green! Didn't even think about using mint green as a gender neutral nursery color. I was thinking yellows, grays, and whites but I may have to reconsider! :]
 
hope nobody minds me sharing but ive just got my screening results back (first time I've opted for screening) and ive come back low risk.
1 in 9,358 for Downs Syndrome and 1 in 50,000 for Edwards/Pataus so low risk.

Of course we'd have continued with the pregnsncy regardless but it's a big sigh of relief here! Xx
 
Amantila- now that you mention magnesium, when I was getting headaches I was off bananas. Also started getting foot/leg cramps. Now bananas are back on the menu, and I'm headache free. Must be the thing. Coconut water also is high in magnesium.

Loraloo- glad the results came back so great :)

Sorry for being a debbie downer, but I am a bit nervous. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 18 1/2 weeks and even though I know there are a lot of differences (I had a huge clot and a lot of bleeding from 5 weeks) I'll be happy when I pass 19 weeks.
 
Xan- that's totally normal I think, I have certain 'goals' to get past too 😘
 
Erggh feeling rotten today still being sick and very sore. Husband found baby's heartbeat on doppler today so that was lovely, I feel a little down and miserable today don't know why.
 
Lora I'm glad to hear you're low risk!

Xanz, I deeply empathize. I'll be nervous till the end and there's not much to be done about it, but it's nice to hear other people getting past their milestones and able to relax a little <3 :flow: I'll be happy with you when you pass 19 weeks! :hugs:

Ginge, sorry to hear the rollercoaster that is pregnancy hormones has got you down. :hugs2: Remember, treat yo self! :D

Amantila, welcome back!
 
Lora, glad to know. And fx your goals will be achieved soon.

Amantalia, welcome back. Hope you enjoues your holidays.

Ginge, I am sorry to hear that you are feeling down. Hopefully tomorrow will bring lots of sunshine to you.

Afm, I am having aching boob and vomiting episodes when I don't eat. I know I should be snacking but, sometimes I end up not eating for hours. On baby front nothing much too report but, I went to maternity exhibition yesterday. found lots of things I am going to buy with discount coupons for baby.
 
I'm curious to see what everyone is buying for their babies!

19 weeks here, going through a phase of inactivity from little pickle and you can't help but wonder if everything is OK... doesn't help when MrMoo asks and when I say I haven't felt much his reply is "oh, that's not good is it?" but I know that it's very irregular until about 24/25 weeks.

Is anyone enjoying a drink (as in, alcohol) during pregnancy? I haven't as yet, but at the moment I'm really wanting something bubbly and refreshing in my mouth as it's constantly feeling "furry" and I've got it in my head that a glass of cold prosecco is the ONLY thing to cure it :dohh: I got so far as to put a miniature bottle of it to chill in the fridge last night.. but then my conscience kicked in and I talked myself it of it.

Ginge, hope you're feeling better. Are you getting the sunshine in Bolton? Maybe take yourself out for a walk :)

MrMoo has come down with ANOTHER cold/flu. He's in bed so I'm left having to deal with Sophie, who cried because she wanted to go outside, then had a major meltdown when I put her shoes and coat on, insisting she didn't want to go out :brat:
 
Mumamoo- Now that I'm firmly in 2nd trimester I would have an occasional drink, but I'm not really feeling like it right now. On the cruise we bought a bottle of wine for the 5 days. Each night DH had a glass and I had enough to toast. I also wanted to sniff DH's rum drinks. And occasionally when DH has a beer, especially lighter beers that I don't normally go for, I have a few sips and it hits the spot and I don't want any more. Plus, if I have a few sips I start to feel tipsy and I'm done.

magnesium is amazing for migraines. I took it for years to stop heachaches and migraines. The only thing is it will take a few works to build up in your system and start too work. Sorry you are suffering:(
 
Laraloo - great to hear your tests came back low risk. I do my final blood work this week and will find out my results too

mummamoo- I worry too when I don't have much activity from baby. I know the baby is small still and movement won't be consistent yet, but I always worry! Yesterday the baby moved quite a bit. I notice whenever I drink a glass of chocolate milk, 20 min later the baby is dancing in my belly!. lol As for alcohol, i haven't had any and probably won't. But I crave wine so bad!! lol I might steal a sip from my hubby in the future:) My cousins wife actually had the occasional glass of red wine through out her pregnancy. Her son is a happy 10yr old now:) Sorry your hubby is sick, hope he feels better soon:)

x-ginge - I am so sorry you are still feeling sick. How awful. With my first 3 babies, my morning sickness lasted until 20 weeks. This time it seemed to end around 14-15 weeks. I hope you get some relief soon

Campn - That's a good one! Your definitely got me! lol Only 3 more days until our gender scans!!! Yay!!

Desiree - Love the name:)

Hopie - thanks, my cousin's wife and baby are doing great. They came home yesterday:) She had an emergency c-section because her BP spiked quite high. They had a planned c-section for next week but no way she could stay pregnant with BP that high. I am just glad everyone is ok and healthy. I have never had BP problems with any of my pregnancies, but I worry I will this time. I am a bit older now, 35 and feel this pregnancy is harder to deal with. Fingers crossed i don't!! How are you doing??

Anybody else have their names picked out yet? Hubby and I slowly started to talk names. So far we don't agree on muvch. For boys names we have nothing yet. For girls names we can only agree on one, Isabella. But that name is not set in stone. I think naming baby#4 is going to be tough. Also, all my kids names start with"L". We did not specfically choose "L" names, it was just coincidence. Now everyone is saying we have to pick another "L" name! But that is not going to happen, no more "L" names I like. lol
 
Thanks ladies, I always feel that I have to be so careful when I talk about wanting a drink as people can be super-judgy about it! Witnessing it a lot on FB parenting groups at the moment. I think it's one of those things where you obsess over it until you have it, then it's out of your system and don't care about it anymore. Like I was last pregnancy over beefy flavoured Hula Hoops! Ha! (A UK potato snack)

As for names, we're nowhere near sorted, but are close to completely agreeing on Katie for a girl. Don't know about middle name yet, and boys name is impossible. Daniel, Teddy and Frankie are my favourites but we haven't had a major discussion over it yet. MrMoo has been really stressed over buying another house, and he's not really thought about this pregnancy very much. Always late to the party, that one!
 
Mumma- I had a glass of prosecco with my Sunday roast last week! I've not even had caffeine this pregnancy and I don't smoke etc so I thought bugger it- I just fancied a glass and I enjoyed every mouthful!

Mari Isabella is a beautiful name. Hubby won't discuss names here til we know te sex but I have a few in mind x
 
I agree with Loraloo- usually not having it builds it up in your mind. Last weekend I was craving smoked salmon, so I went to a restaurant with really fresh seafood and had a bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese. I figure the really tricky foods, like sushi and hollandaise sauce will have to wait until September, but if I crave a slightly risky food (beer, smoked salmon) it's better to have it and be done with it than feel deprived and risk a mood swing.

BTW- I saw a list of drinks you should avoid last week, and it said artificial sweeteners were okay. That seems weird to me, but I'm off soda in general because of the preservatives.
 
I may need to take magnesium too. I definitely struggle with headaches long term.

Mumma- I usually take a sip from DH's drinks, but I haven't really craved it, just one sip makes me super warm and alcohol in general make my headaches worse. I don't see the harm in the occasional drink it's not like you'll be hitting the bars every night :p

We have Oliver picked for a boy name, and Juliette picked for the girl. Not set on middle names yet. I find the middle name harder to choose!

Mari- Three days!!! I'm starting to be convinced it's a boy! After wanting a girl this entire pregnancy now I think I'd rather have a boy cause they tend to be easier in the long run? A girl would still be great I just no longer have a preference!
 
Camp those are both lovely names. I'm loving everyone's name choices so far!
I find picking names so hard!
 
Campn - I love both of those names:) Middle names are always hard too. We haven't even talked a about those. I think it will take us time to agree on a name. With my youngest we hadn't decided until the week he was born. Lol I kept going back and fourth thinking its a boy or girl. I am honestly happy with either gender. I doubt I'll sleep a wink the night before my scan! Lol
 
I like Oliver too Campn, and Juliette is beautiful.

So I think a glass is on the cards tonight. I need to get it out of my system, and will probably do me good in the sense that MrMoo and his stressful week has had me wound up. I've been stitching like a mad girl as this is usually really relaxing for me but even that hasn't done what it usually does.

This is the result of my stitchy sessions over the last few weeks.

That's lovely, I'm cross stitching for baby's nursery but I haven't been able to with the nausea.

Had a walk down to mums for Sunday dinner and feeling a little better. Still been sick twice today though. Stopped the meds as it appears baby doesn't like them lol
