Think of the brighter side, Steph! You're a raspberry today! Yayyyyy

AFM- i think i feel the baby 'quickening' as they call it. Feels like flutters on the inside, especially when I'm lying very still and trying to sleep....No kicks yet, but definitely feeling the little drama queen (still calling it a girl!!) stretching inside

[kbkb]

How you feeling Certain?? Sickness still staying down I hope?

 

[CertainTurton]

Yeah, its much better, still needing to eat every couple hours to keep it away but i can actually get out of bed now without having to eat something beforehand...means many less crumbs in the bed Just getting soo impatient to see my LO again...hate not knowing all is ok!

 

[steph1505]

Wooo raspberry!! How exciting!!

Glad ur sickness isnt as bad certain!! I had quite a good day yesterday but feel pretty bad today! Thats the way it seems to be...one good day means a hellish one the next day! When is ur next scan? I really hope i get my letter soon! Im sure eveything is absolutely fine! I feel the same way though...would love some reassurance!

Kbkb - that is sooooo exciting!! I remember feeling that with brandon! Wait til u get ur first definite elbow in the side haha!! Its amazing!

Hello girlies!!

How are you all? Sorry i've been awol, have been soo hectic and usually I catch up on here in the evenings but i've just been too tired so gone straight to bed!

kbkb - Yaaaayyy!! starting to feel movements, soo exciting!! I bet you are loving it!

Steph - Yeh, first midwife appointment is boring isn't it. I've got mine next week, and I keep getting excited then remembering nothing exciting actually happens!! I also have a bump, but it's totally all bloat.... and food. I am eating a LOT at the moment.

Certain - You should def feel happy you are escaping the ms. I'm getting it worse than last time, but its manageable. I haven't been sick or anything, just the occasional wave that's horrible.

Hope you're all having a good week x x x x

 

[steph1505]

Hey smiley!!

Lol ive been in bed really early every nite too!

Im glad ur sickness isnt too bad! Im on a countdown til 12 weeks and prayin it disappears for us all! I really struggle in work but i think its cos i cant eat regularly!

Lol my bloat doesnt seem too bad anymore...its only really at the end of the nite!

Xxxxxx

I am over 6 weeks now and still don't have a bit of MS or any other symptoms except kinda sore boobs. I will hopefully be having a scan some time next week so I guess I just have to wait it out!!

 

[MustangGTgirl]

So I found a place about 30 minutes away that does free sonograms and I am going in about 1.5 hours!! I am worried that they won't see anything tho because it is not a vaginal sonogram, it is the one through the stomach. She said the earliest she has seen a heartbeat is 5 weeks though so it gives me hope! I sure hope I see a heartbeat soooo bad. I told her I was about 7 weeks so that they wouldn't turn me down but I am only 6+2.... do you think I will see anything?

 

[CertainTurton]

eeeek how exciting!! Well i had my 1st scan at 5+5 and we saw the hb but it was an internal one. So im afraid i dont know - i really hope so! but dont panic if you cant!
Let us know how it goes.
Im very jealous, how come its free??

 

[steph1505]

Wow! Free ultrasounds! Id be there every week haha!!

With brandon, we had a scan at 6weeks but it was internal because she couldnt really see much when she tried it thru the stomach!

Hope u get to see somethin! Let us kno! Xxxxx

 

[MustangGTgirl]

Well I just got back ladies and it's good news!! They found the baby and heartbeat and I even got to hear it! I am measuring 6+3 which is perfect and baby's heartbeat is 133bpm!

I can't believe they found it through my tummy! So awesome!

 

[MustangGTgirl]

Well I am confused now because I was looking at other sonogram pictures and in the others the baby is outside the yolk sac somewhere but it looks like my baby is inside the yolk sac? I know she took measurements of it from inside the circle yolk sac... I wonder if that is normal? There was the regular tech and one in training and they both said they saw the flashing heartbeat and I saw it too, plus we heard it but could it have been mine? It was 133bpm.

 

[smiley330]

Morning everyone!!

WOOHOO i'm a blueberry!! Getting to be a substantial size now

Mustang - That pic is great!! That's amazing they found it through your tummy. Don't worry, i'm sure they would have said / noticed if something wasn't right! That heartbeat is too high to be yours!

hope everyone has a great FRIIIIDDDAAAAYYY!!!

x x x x x x

 

[kbkb]

Yayyyyyyyyy Mustang Girl- 133 is definitely too high to be yours. its your little one, and it feels like all is well! Hope you're feeling better and more reassured now

Smiley- welcome back Good for you that you're getting some rest. How do you manage that with a toddler around, do share tips. I'm definitely going to need them!!!! Hope those waves of nausea go away, they are so horrible.

Begin rant- Yesterday, I ate something spicy and out of the blue my insides were like "Oh no, you dont do that to us!" and i threw up. Just like that, random!!! Where is my old tough body? I miss it I want my old self back!!! end rant

 

[steph1505]

Aw mustang!! Thats a fab picture!! As the other girls say, 133 is def too high to be ur heartrate! Aw how exciting!! Dont worry, the sonographer wouldve said if anythin looked unusual! Eek! Im so excited for u!

Smiley - yay on the blueberryness!! Its amazing wen u think of it isnt it? I have an app on my phone that gives me 'baby is the size of' and this week it says kidney beans...and i had chilli con carne last nite and couldnt eat the kidney beans haha!! I was sittin with OH sayin 'theres its head, its wee fingers will be here...' Im such a weirdo!

Kbkb - aw no, hope ur feelin better!! I can remember sometimes just randomly throwing up food! I still cant go near stir frys! I kno its hard all the changes that u go thru...i think it can totally turn u into someone u can barely recognise! Im already changing so many things about me! But u do eventually go back to ur old self...except with a baby haha!!

Hope ur all havin a good day! Brandons away for a nap so im lyin on the couch, gonna have wee kip! Xxxxx

:wave: Steph!!! thanks for being so nice about my rant Thankfully was just a random bad food moment and am much better now
I love your kidney bean story!!!! I was the exact opposite though. I'd want to eat raspberries when baby was the size of one... monster MUM!
Smiley- Yay for your blueberry! (I promise i dont wanna eat one )

 

[steph1505]

Haha! So r u munching lots of onions at the moment? Hahaha!!

Lol brandons had the shortest nap ever! He normay has 2 and a half hours...and hes woke up after 45 mins! Thanks brandon!! Lol!

Xxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Ahhh kbkb - it is annoying, our bodies are totally not our own for 9 months!! But like Steph says, you will get back to yourself and you can indulge in all things spicy soon!!

I think I only have my OH to thank for all the rest i'm able to get. He is brilliant, he will get up with DS or take him out for an hour or something.

Steph - Haha, I would be doing that too if I had any blueberries with me now - I would probably still eat them, but I would be picturing where everything is! I have an app that gave me a notification that i'm 7 weeks today - yay. I love that!

Oh yes, it is frustrating as well when they decide to have shorter naps isn't it!

Ughhh, it's freezing at work - the air con is on full blast again!!! x x x x x x
