*** September 2018 Mums ***

[Elven]

Thanks elven. I hope so. Im more thirsty so im drinking more. I just thought id be up more than once overnight. I suppose i should make the most of it! Hope youre ok. Cant believe youre 10+5. Any bump yet? x

I was waiting for it as well, but I guess maybe that part has skipped us. I'm sure there will be plenty of getting up all night in the third trimester, so we need to definitely enjoy it now!

I know, skipped 4 days ahead very fast, although it's all confusing me because I thought the due date of 31st August worked perfectly with the day I had the +OPK, but I guess not! I have a bump but I think it's more bloating than baby, although I guess that will start blending into one soon anyway.

I can't wait to see everyone's bumps, that's one of the loveliest parts of this. x

 

[Melly41]

Most definately. I love photos of bumps and scans. My dates should mean im 8 weeks but at last scan she said i was more like 7 +3. I guesd i will find out more on monday
I get bloating but just in evenings. My bladder shrank to the size of a blueberry with my first two but cannot remember when....maybe towards end of tri 2?? I hope you stay put on sept thread rather than move to august thread xx

The scan should be lovely, hopefully you get some nice photos to take away. xx Will you tell anyone after your scan or wait a bit longer?

I will be staying here, I was already due end of August for the past few weeks, so may as well. It may very well end up being a September baby anyway.

 

[Melly41]

Thats good. Im glad youre staying. I plan to tell people after 12 wk scan. After mmc in sept i was kind of relieved i hadnt told friends or family. If monday goes ok i will be booking hatmony test around 10wks so might start telling people if that comes back ok. What about you? Have you told people yet?.xx

It makes sense, especially having been through that already, not wanting everyone to know. Hopefully the harmony test will come back with perfect results though, and you might feel okay to tell some people. Although I'm still unsure of what a harmony test is to be honest.

I told some of my family today, although knowing my mother (first grandchild) my entire family might know by now! Might tell work next week, as my NHS scan won't be until 14w 1d now, and not sure I want to wait that much longer.

 

[Melly41]

Youre almost 11 weeks and just had a scsn so reckon youre pretty ok to tell people. Harmony test checks for chromosonal abnormalities....downs etc and its a blood test do not invasive like amnio. Can also find out sex too.Having it as im 42 so would be at higher risk for these.id rather know earlier in pregnancy.

Ah right, never knew that. Definitely makes sense to go for it, like you say, better to know earlier anyway. Hopefully it will come back with nothing but positive news though. x

 

[Melly41]

Thanks hun me too x

 

[Kirsty30]

Quick question You are sounding very similar to me. I feel for you.. hope we all start feeling better soon x

 

[Kirsty30]

Evlen that’s great you got to see your wee baby. It makes you feel so much better getting your scan. Lovely news.

 

[Kirsty30]

I got my scan date in today.. 9th March feels so long away but I’m sure it will be fine..

Hey ladies, I’ve not been on here for a few days as the symptoms have really kicked in. I’ve started experiencing a really sensitive stomach. Used to have a great appetite but the now I’m getting full really quickly, and getting stomach pains after I’ve eaten (like my bowel isn’t happy with what I’ve eaten!) has anyone elae experiences this? My OH keeps panicking when my stomach hurts- but it feels more bowel related than anything else. Hope you are all feeling well!

[Kirsty30]

Ohh is it Melly ��eeekk exciting.. mines is at 2. Xx

 

[Melly41]

Hopefully we will be posting scan pics together that day xx

Anyone else uttered the phrase 'I'm never doing this again' so far this pregnancy? I know I have!

The latest symptom for me is terrible insomnia, I'll be exhausted and struggling to keep my eyes open and then the second I get into bed it's like *bing* my brain turns on and I'm awake for another 4 hours. So frustrating!

 

[Babbybo]

Ha. I cant sleep either tho only the last two nights. Hoping its a short phase. Ive been eating like a horse too. Every time I feel nauseous I eat. It helps but I'm going to b the size of a house soon
What's the fibrogel like Melly? I'm suffering too!

 

[Melly41]

Fibrogel is something you mix quickly into water and drink fast so it doesnt turn to jelly! It is a bulking agent but softens things so supposedly helps with constipation. GP prescribed it but think you can get similar stuff over the counter. This is my 4th day on it...its helped but im also eating loads of fruit and veg too so not sure which has been more helpful.

Not suffering from insomnia but am tired a lot. Also pulled a tendon in my foot just walking haha! Got my early reassurance re-scan tom....i hope they can see heartbeat this time xx

 

[Babbybo]

Goodluck at scan. Hope it all goes well.

I saw the fibrogel but haven't looked at it. Wasn't sure about trying it. I took all the etc towards end of pregnancy but can't eat it anymore- malted stuff doesn't agree with me now.
