July 2012 Babies

I don't think my morning sickness was too bad with my son. I did lose my appetite though and go off a lot of foods. So i ended up losing 3kg during the first trimester. With my daughter i had really bad nausea 24/7 which started at 4 weeks and improved at around 12/13 weeks. I was STARVING too. Only threw up once with each pregnancy. lol. Although i made up for that when i got a bad stomach bug with my daughter at 30 weeks.

This time it's been kinda random. Some days i feel ok but other days the nausea hits bad and i struggle to find anything i feel like eating. I've gone off quite a few things. I've been going through a lot of Primo though, like with the other two. I do end up feeling nauseous everyday, but sometimes it's either only in the morning or at night. Sometimes all day.

Whoops, novel.

Yeah it can drag on when you're feeling gross. Can't wait till we're all past that 12 week mark! I might try sea bands again. They helped for a little while with my second pregnancy.

It'll be interesting to see what size this baby is. My son was 9lb 11oz but my daughter was only 8lb 1oz. So quite a big difference, especially since my son was first.

That was my random thought while sitting here feeling gross. I really wanna go to bed now, well ages ago actually. But DP is out and didn't take the house keys, so i'd either have to leave the door unlocked or have to get up to let him in. He won't be much longer though, so i guess i'll just wait.

I have an appointment with my midwife on the 14th! yay! Its the same midwife as I had last time and she is wonderful.

The only problem is I am not a hundred percent sure about my birth choice yet. Last time I had this midwife she did not have hospital privileges, and if I end up deciding on an epidural I will have to transfer care.

My last birth was a birth center transfer.

I am just so scared about not being able to handle the pain again.

I didn't see my MW till 12/13 weeks with my first and 10 weeks with my second. If you don't like that MW you can always change.

Congrats Sally! You kept that little one quiet!    Hope its all going well for you and the sickness isn't as bad as last time!

lurker out...

Someone might be able to help me - being a first timer I have no idea how these things work! How do you go about getting a dating scan? My EDD has been put at July 2nd but I know exactly when I OV'd as I was temping/using OPK's and I'm pretty sure baby wont be due until around the 6th. I just don't think I can wait until 12 weeks for a scan! Meeting a MW for the first time next week...can you request a scan? How likely is it that she will want me to have one? Thanks!!!

Thanks rachamos & Danda :-)

It's interesting what diff midwives do & when they meet. I think last time my appointments were monthly with my LMC at the start of pregnancy, but I ended up seeing her more often as I really wasn't very well. I've got a different LMC this time (not by choice...if I could steal my other LMCs passport I'd keep her in the country to deliver my baby!!!)...I'm meeting her next week.

Koromiko - last time I got some of my worst MS during the night. Hormone levels are often high then. Some people find it useful to have a bunch of wee snacks beside the bed to nibble on if they feel nauseous at night.


....I still can't quite believe that I'm up the duff. Again!!! Exciting & daunting all at once. Told my parents tonight, who were over the moon - and one good friend knows. :-) Other than that, I'm quite liking just having a wee super exciting secret at the moment.

Morning ladies. Got a decent amount of sleep last night but still feel just as tired.

I think i'm gonna have to get some maternity bras soon. My boobs are killing me and i think wearing under wire bras is making it worse. They just seem to be getting sorer and sorer.

mini_horse just explain to your MW why you want a scan and hopefully she'll give you a referral. They don't always.

I'm hoping i can get an early scan too 'cause i'm not 100% sure of my dates and i had only stopped the pill a couple of weeks before we started trying. Plus i just wanna make sure everything is ok. I've been so worried about things this time, no real reason why though. I'm just a worrier. lol.

Wow some of you girls have heaps of symptoms already!! I've now got my cranky , other than being tired too, I dont have much (other than the change in CM that let me know I was preggy in the first place!)

mini horse, if you're just worried about dates, I wouldn't bother with a scan to change the date by a day or two (I know my conception was the 13th, and have a due date of the 5th). It's just an approximation anyway......and bubs won't take any notice anyways

Hee hee not silly at all! Sometimes it's so hard to believe you're pregnant when there's no big puku to pat! Totally understand that

Are we in for an onslaught of 'hurry up baby' around your due date
