May mummies and rainbows to be :)

[lisey]

Yeah, second pregnancies usually show earlier. I didn't show until much later with my son xx

 

[xjdx]

I'm on number 5 and don't have a bump yet. I'm glad it's to hard to hide otherwise because my boss or kids don't know. Well nobody knows lol. I've booked a gender scan and debating whether to not find out now. Can't make my mind up xx

 

[Eryinera]

No 5!!!! Woah! Lol good luck!

In my dream last night I fell nodded off inside it lol. I was having a head and brain exam by the doctor and as she was inspecting my head it was like a massage and I fell asleep lol.

I tried to find the hb with my doppler last night but I couldn't find it. I think I found the placenta. And I think I possibly caught it for a second but I'm not sure. But before I tried bubs was very active it felt like there were 3 of them in there lol. I think I need to try again when s/he is asleep.

I'm on number 3 but no baby yet. Lost my first at 16.5 weeks and my second at 12 weeks, the second was only in may and I never lost the weight I put on with that one round my tummy which is why I think I'm so big, also because I'm so short it's got nowhere else to go but out! Also everyone carries differently.

Scan this morning. Hopefully all is fine and I can get then to book me in this week for the NT testing xx

 

[Eryinera]

Geez you have that history and they messed your scan around so much you poor thing!

 

[BettyHoop]

I'm less annoyed about everything this morning. I do try to be understanding but I really haven't had a good time with the NHS lately. They've always been amazing with me so I guess I'm just used to a good service. I'm considering private health care, I got a quote for £33 a month but it doesn't apply to existing conditions unfortunately!

Are you having extra scans or care due to your recurrent miscarriages eryinera? Xx

 

[Eryinera]

Yea I had one at 5 7 10 and 13 weeks and I've had a consultant appointment and I've got another in January. So far all is good. I just wish I managed to find the hb last night. But I don't really know what I'm doing. Lol I'm scared because the doc made me cut my folic acid by so much. I've gone from 5.4mg to 0.4-0.8mg depending on if I can handle the big vitamin pill. I am eating a lot of marmite though which ironically is what I craved with my son I went through jars of the stuff so my body knew it needed more I guess.

 

[nikkix86]

this is my third baby so probably why I'm showing so much I did with my second as well but my first I didn't show till I was about 6 months lol

 

[Eryinera]

I know I'm totally nothing compared to what your going through but I need a moan and hubby has gone to work lol

I think I've slept funny on my neck nerve I've had pins and needles on my left hand since I woke up especially in my little and ring finger down to my wrist then reappearing at my elbow it's so annoying lol I can't straighten my fingers and it all feels numb! Silly body lol.

 

[BettyHoop]

Everyone's problems are relative. Saying you are going through less than another is not giving yourself enough credit for what you feel and I don't believe that's right. I sympathise wholly with the pins and needles feeling! In pregnancy you get a lot of fluid retention and weight gain which can cause these symptoms. A friend of mine had it so badly that by 6 months her hands were permanently curled and numb, she couldn't do anything! It went after she gave birth. If it carries on or gets worse it's worth mentioning it to a health care professional. I think they recommend steriod injections if it's really bad. Hope it gets better soon xx

 

[BettyHoop]

And by the way I bloody love marmite! But can't touch it at the moment!

 

[Eryinera]

Thanks hun it's just so irratatating it will pass after I've taken son to school and start my physio x x I feel like I'm falling apart lol I hit q6 and everything fell apart lol my bump caught my crumpet my claw hand dropped before which amused my son at least lol

 

[BettyHoop]

Marmite on crumpets used to be my favorite!

 

[Eryinera]

That's my craving lol 4 crumpets 2 with marmite 2 without.

Ery, I find it hard to catch mine on the doppler because she moves so much. I get the heartbeat and then she moves. When you do it, go really slowly. My little one is along the line of my hips now area wise. Once I hear the placenta whoosh, I know she is nearby xx

 

[Eryinera]

My son is such a doofus for someone supposedly in the top 5 of his class
I asked him to do a simple task. Go upstairs get a towel for swimming, get mummy a pair of socks, and brush your teeth. First time he came down with a towel and put it in his bag. 2nd time he got the socks 3rd time he had a wee 4th time he brushed his teeth.
I then checked his work. His "towel" was a bath mat... so I said how are you going to use that? He insisted it was fine then he went to get a towel and came back with a bath sheet!

Thank you I'll try that it was right by the placenta noise I heard and 4 horse gallops then lost it

OK and sommat weird is afoot today.
I've seen 3 people in the short journey to and from school with 2l bottles of semi skimmed milk just walking the street. .. the first was odd... the 2nd was a freaky coincidence the 3rd is national milk day that someone's forgot to tell me about. So... now I'm having a glass of milk lol
