August 2017 babies!

[MissCharli]

Yep also getting lots of weird aches and twinges, some of them sharper like I've pulled a muscle when moving suddenly. It goes away very quickly so assume its just all getting squished about in there. I'm mostly uncomfortable when I sleep actually, I sleep mostly on my side but with my tummy mostly facing down. I have bought a cheapy bolster pillow from argos that has made a difference with that, even if its a pain in the arse to sleep with it, my OH and the cats

I still don't have any noticeable bump, it just looks like my pre-pregnancy food baby is getting bigger I do notice feeling different around the tummy area though, but that might just be cos I'm hyper aware of it!

Does the pillow help you sleep better? I used to hate sleeping on my back, everytime i wake up im in that position though must be comfy, but i know its bad for baby?
Has the bottom of your belly gone hard, mine feels really firm! Still wayyyy bloated though. xx

 

[MissCharli]

I can't really tell, there's too much podge on top of it I think!

Yeah the pillow has helped, its quite comfy though I have it on the edge of the bed and it falls out all the time

Currently my cats are enjoying it more!

Ok that's reassuring that is just due to the natural softening of the pelvic area then!!
It's painful though like back pain but in pelvic area when I move then goes away!

Ahhh cute cats Charli it's funny how animals always find the comfiest places!!! Haha!!

Il invest in pillow soon they do look good..

Anyone thought about those pelvic belts??
I'm thinking I may buy one just in case these sensations and pains get worse when bigger, I did read some reviews
Saying they can be life saver..

Was nice on our holiday I did use the hot tub at 37 degrees no hotter and no jets on me
It was lovely and relaxing on joints etc
But I was glad to see everything ok on scan...

As not advised- but I was sensible about length of time and temp

Hope 2nd tri goes fast for us all xxxx

Prrrfect that one is a bit too blurry of the head but I'm going to stick with girl! X

Hey all that's me finally turned 14 weeks today so thought I could post in tri 2 and as a few of you have said hope hat it goes abit faster from now on! I still have no sign of a bump, but I had very little bump with my first either, so hoping it might be a tad bigger this time. Still feeling abit surreal here and don't quite believe I am having another, even though am sick 24/7 and tired beyond belief just feels like I have a serious hangover everyday haha
Hope all you ladies are keeping fine xx

 

[JillMcCoy]

Oh good, i read things on the hot tub and they say 10 min sessions is fine! I have a hen do I have planned around sitting in a hot tub and drinkiv fizz all weekend... Safe to say I am a little gutted to miss out so I have stocked up on non alco fizz for me and was going to do little short times in the hot tub xx

Oh glad you got it on the right day though Jill. I was worried it was the company I recommended that cancelled on you! X

 

[Prrrfect]

Yeahhhhhy Jill pleased for you looking forward to hear boy or girl
Yes hopefully they let you turn it down to 37 as it's a really nice comfort temp for everyone and I stayed in for agers!!

At 40 it gets too much for anyone to stay in too long xx

Also just wanted to say I bought my Doppler today 2head phones are a must!!!

Listening to babies heat beating for the 1st time was the best!!
Made me laugh and I almost blown hubbys ear drums!!!
Hahaha!!!

Hubby was the best at finding heat beat
Baby did move from one side of my belly button to the other!!!

Didn't need gel either..
sounding strong and healthy

P.s hubby said we could have early gender scan now if I wanted !!!
Haha!!!

Haha no they had no space sadly. I'd tried them first. I did have a thought that if baby doesn't cooperate at this scan, since it hasn't the last few, I might still not get a gender. If that is the case I am just taking it as fate I'm not to know haha! We did pick a girls name we really like over all the others we had and have a few choices for a boy. Hubby wants to wait before investing time in properly narrowing it down.

Awh, I'm the last to know my gender in here got over 4 weeks to wait. I'm so jealous heh. Xx

 

[Elspeth]

A few of us are waiting to August PB. You won't be the last. I'll be team yellow and I'm determined to wait.
The idea of not knowing for all that time does seem slightly mad though. I knew last time at 20 weeks, I was so sure I was having a boy, I remember feeling so shocked.

Ladies with children, has anyone shared their news? I'm really excited about telling my daughter ( she's 3), think we will sit her down in the next few days. Really hoping she is pleased but a bit worried now she'll react badly.

Don't tempt me with the Doppler Prrrfect!! Sounds very cool.

I can clearly feel my uterus in my tummy now though, which is a little freaky but nice. Reminded me I want to do bump pictures week by week. Anyone else doing this? Shame I didn't start earlier really.

Xx

 

[PeanutButter]

That'll be nice, you can show your baby when they're older.
I have a doppler to I think it's amazing ahaha, best 30 pounds I've ever spent, I can't find HB unless I have a full bladder though. Xx

 

[Elspeth]

You have your 12 week scan today PB, is that right?
Enjoy seeing little one.
Looking forward to seeing your pics later.

Might go on Amazon and look at Dopplers... Eeek.

Xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Yeah, it's at half 1, do I need to take my notes with me? I was gonna take em just incase but I don't wanna if i don't have to. Hopefully my date will stay the same, they change it everytime i have a scan hmm. Lol xx

 

[Elspeth]

Are you having any sort of NT screening?
I was told to take notes and had to take signed consent form and blood test form.
Would take them just in case.
Xx

 

[PeanutButter]

I've had my bloods all taken a few weeks ago for it. Idk what's happening tbh lol. I just show up and they tell me whats happening, hubby's not with me though so my anxiety is very high heh x
