Is anyone else having bad stretching pains? I'm 15 weeks 1 day with my second baby, and went to see my specialist yesterday! They are so bad...
 
I've been having stretching pains the last couple of days but not too bad, I'm just aware something is happening in my uterus!
 
My abs have been achey lately...my friend said it is because the muscles are stretching.

I have a funny story for you ladies. I went to see my last patient of the day and I was getting her back in bed (I am an occupational therapist) anyways, the PT told me she was max assist but not as bad as it sounded (she lied, it was just as bad as it sounded!) Anyways, I needed to pull the patient up in bed but there was no way I could do it myself! So I called for help and no one came. I finally went out to get help and eventually got the nurses to come in and help me! Afterwards, to express my frustration, I said to one of the nurses "I couldn't do it on my own. Plus, I am pregnant so pulling patients up in bed on my own is not a good idea." The nurse proceeds to start looking at my belly trying to figure out where the baby is...lol Now, I am a plus size gal so I am guessing it will take a while before I start to show. Then I explained to her that I am almost 12 weeks. At which point the patient says, " you shouldn't have been lifting me!" Well, the truth of the matter is that you are supposed to do the activities you do regularly unless you are high risk or your doctor has some specific concern. My doctor has not said anything to me about limiting what I do at work. So, I know my limits and listen to my body. If it is something I can't do by myself, I will ask for help. But I had a good chuckle. Of course, after that session, I was completely worn out! But then, it was also the end of the day.

Hope everyone has some fun things planned for the weekend!
 
15 weeks today and nothing is staying in since last night. Feel horridly nauseated whenever my head isn't in the spew bucket. Still no 'bump' either - just feel fat as usual with my tubby tummy. I lay down and try and work out by feel what is going on in there - mega fail! :cry: Makes me so nervous for my next scan and appointment on Wed. Should be 15w4d then. Crossing everything our little bubble is still growing nicely, is healthy and on track.
 
Hey ladies. :) Yesterday I had quite a scare, because I was starting to pee blood. So I went to the walk in centre in my city, but the nurse there didn't really know what to do and since I didn't have any symptoms of a UTI she send me to the hospital for a check up.

At the hospital they did a scan to see if my baby was all okay and it was wiggling about and such lol. Then to my surprise the nice man who did the scan ask me do you wanna know what ur having? I said yes, since I do. Anyways he looked (at what, I don't know it all looks the same to me :p)and he said well it's still quite early but 8 out of 10 your having a little boy :blue: !! !:happydance: I was told afterwards that the man doing the scan is very experienced so a good chance that at my 20 week scan next month I will be told the same.

As for my blood in urine, they did an internal examination to rule out it came from my womb or vagina, but it look all good and defently didn't come from there. So they send of my urine sample to see what caused it. Personally I think it was a UTI, but we shall see.

It's funny how such a stress full day can turn into me seeing my baby at 15 weeks on a scan and better that I'm pretty positive that I'm gonna have a boy :blue: !
 
Aww how lovely BabsJ.. congrats! Hope you get the UTI sorted soon, it that's what it is.

4 hours until my scan!! :happydance:
 
Hope the scan goes well bananabump :)

Sounds like your scare turned into quite a good experience in the end babsj! Hope you are better soon though.

Morning sickness is back with a vengeance unfortunately, knew I'd jinxed myself by telling everyone it was getting better last week! Starting to feel lots of little flutters and kicks which is lovely at least :) have a definite small bump too.
 
Cheers girls! Strange thing now is the blood has completely disappeared :wacko: Even this morning there was nothing! How strange.
 
For everyone who isn't in the FB group... We're having a little girl! :pink: :happydance: So chuffed xxx
 
Oh wow - so exciting you guys are starting to find out the sex! Congratulations!

Sorry about your scare Babsj but sounds like it's not affecting your little boy ( so exciting to say boy and not bubs!)

I had an appt with my consultant yesterday and got an unexpected scan. We didn't find out the sex (or see a whole lot to be honest!) but bean was measuring on track and there was a nice strong heartbeat so I'm happy. Starting to believe it really might be third time lucky (a bit scared of jinxing myself there though!).
 
I have my 12 week ( I'll be 13w3d then) Nuchal scan and blood done tomorrow...Eek!

On a sad note.. We decided to give our cat away two days ago as he was just too wild and very bitey. I miss him a lot and hope I'll get over it soon :-/
 
Hope you're all enjoying this lovely Sunday sunshine?!

Can't believe I'm already 14+2. Babies seem to be growing well based on my enormous bump!

We're still going back and forth between finding out the sexes or staying team yellow. We had pretty much decided we'd stay team yellow before we found out we were having two and then made the decision we would find out because it'd make things easier and now we're not sure! We have a private ultrasound in a couple of weeks so we don't have to decide just yet but at this rate, I don't think we will :dohh:

How's everyone doing? x
 
Hey ladies. I am just having a rough morning. Totally lost it last night with DH. He was great and super supportive. I know it is because I am over tired, not sleeping well and just don't have the energy to go out and do things with friends in the evenings (which is when most of my friends have parties and other events). I am so tired of feeling like crap, feeling tired, not having energy to even walk the dog as long as I want to. People keep telling me it will get better, but it's been 2 months of this! I am STILL getting up to pee sometimes 6 or 7 times a night ( maybe more? i stop counting when it's more than 3). I am tired of being afraid to eat things like beef. I am tired of not being able to really discuss this stuff with people because 1. we haven't told everyone yet and 2. very few of my friends are married and pregnant or have kids. And then I have friends (and DH) that try to get me to go out and be social in the evenings even though they know it's really hard for me. Last night, someone said to me "you look really sick". I'm not sick! I am PREGNANT and feel like shit because I am up too LATE! It's futile, I can't win....We do want this baby, but I have just felt awful the whole time!

Sorry, I just needed to get this out.

I totally know how you feel. I was ranting to my sister the same thing. When i'm not nauseas, i'm tired and always sick and at weekends my friends all like to go out drinking and ii'm staying in all the time i'm just bored, tired & feeling icky all the time. I was told i'd have my energy back by now but no. And OH doesnt really understand he will moan if i havent done certain chores, sometimes i think he thinks i'm faking. He tells me 'You're pregnant not disabled" :growlmad: i still do loads in the house .

Hopefully it will pass soon. I was planning to go out shopping for some clothes & decorate the nursery but i just dont have the enregy for any of it
