If I lounge around doing nothing I feel awful but if I make the effort to get up and dressed do something I feel fine, almost normal!! Haha xxx

Good morning from the US ladies!! I got great news in the middle of the night last night, my friend's ultrasound picture!!! So funny how we can get so wrapped up in someone else's pregnancy!!! LoL Everything is great for her and I"m so pleased!!!

It's a rainy, foggy morning here...which I happen to be loving! I wish I could have some coffee though...I know it's "okay" to have coffee throughout pregnancy, I'm just uber paranoid this time around so I'll just maybe have some hot cocoa instead?? (although I'm sure that has caffeine too)

I have no real plans today, just going to laze around the house...maybe do some laundry and try to clean the upstairs...the bedrooms up there have clothes strewn here and there, etc...but for now it's just nice listening to the birds and the rain

 

[eme]

ah but I DID manage to paos this morning haha and my line is getting darker!! I know they say not to judge the progression of the pregnancy on the darkness of the line but to that I say phooey!! haha

 

[Mummy to be x]

Hurray for dark lines eme!!

My house needs a good clean too it's so yucky!

Carly I know what you mean about getting dressed to go out the house and feeling better, I think sometimes staying in been lazy makes you feel worse doesn't it, good bit of fresh air does wonders

Hope all you ladies are having a wonderful day

 

[UniqueBeauty]

My bruise is finally starting to fade!

Carly your scan is 2 days before mine, we have the long wait together! lol

I went to get my bits for the tapas today I just have 0 motivation to cook it all, argh!

 

[eme]

Ouch!! Hope it doesn't hang around too long UB!

 

[ab75]

I too feel much better for getting ready and walking to the dentist. I am going to make sure I go out every day now as I feel so much chirpier for it and feel more energetic(well slightly, lol) xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ouch UB that looks sore.

How are you ladies this evening?

I have the mw tomorrow but today I think I've done too much, every time I bend down or get up I get like a sharp pain in my lower tummy (we're baby is) it also feels quite heavy down there and crampy now and again, nothing painful really but il mention it to my mw in the morning x

 

[eme]

It may just be sore muscles/ligaments from all the moving you've done. She'll probably just suggest you take it easy over the next few days. I'm much of the same, peeing more regularly now though haha

Read a great article about all the insane complications that not drinking enough water can cause in pregnancy (we ALL should be drinking 96oz a day...even more so once we hit 8months) so I've been trying to focus on getting enough water. It can even help eliminate spotting!!! SO yeah, basically waterboarding myself haha

 

[Mummy to be x]

Oh wow I've not heard of that before!

 

[eme]

yeah it helps with proper circulation (your blood gets thick when you are dehydrated), helps keeping your kidney's functioning properly to help you flush out toxins, ensures amniotic fluid levels stay where they should (it needs to be replenished every HOUR!), etc. SO yeah, make sure you're getting your water!!!! Oh, yes, and it also helps minimize morning sickness!! Because dehydration magnifies the side effects of nausea!

Hey ladies, how's everyone? Well I had my second scan this morning, it was actually pretty stressful. My dr was having a hard time seeing where baby was in the sac, and basically said she wasn't sure what she saw was baby. But after what seemed like forever, she found it and we heard the hb (153bpm) . I could tell she was relieved, which helped me a lot, cause I was scared to death. The sac was measuring 7w2d and I'm 7w4d, but she said it was fine. They couldn't measure baby because they never got a good view. Ugh, it was so clear last time, this time was weird. But we were able to see the little heart flutter on the screen, so I was happy with that.

 

[Mummy to be x]

Omg that's amazing.....off to get water

Oh so happy for you!!! Those first few moments when they're trying to find the baby, I swear it's like the whole world stops and it's just you, that grainy screen, and your thumping heart!

It's possible your uterus is in a different position this time around? Muscles tightening can move/shift it some and depending on where baby settled in, it could just be at a tough angle at this point. The heartbeat rate sounds wonderful!!!!

I think my nervousness made me sick. I actually went back to work for a few hours and now I'm home on the couch. I feel a little better now that I'm home. Going to try to get some water down now.

 

[eme]

yeah, nerves like that can really wipe a person out! Rest up and take a few really deep, soothing, relaxing breaths =)
