Dec 2014 Thread #5 - Battered and bruised we limp through the second trimester

[SassehMonsta]

Here we go again, the thrills & spills of leaky boobs, and feeling baby move for the first time - Lets go!

Stats Link!

Drew and daddy I'm the same. Finally got my was around fluttering feeling being actually movement and not wind then it just stops some days I get it a few times a day today I've had nothing :/ I did wake up at about 5am and it felt like I was being kicked from the inside but maybe have been stitch or something. With 2 I don't know if they are both moving or if ones more active than te other or what?? when I use my heart monitor i hear them swishih around and moving but not feel them if that makes sense. X

Thanks girls! I'm needing to man up. I have midwife on Monday and scared she won't find heartbeat. I have no reason to think it but I can't get it out of my head.

I went shopping to mothercare yesterday and bought lots of baby stuff and now worried I have jinxed it

Lordy. Gimme a slaaaaaap

Don'tworry Drews, I'm the same, this is my second and felt movement really early, done days I don't feel it and some days I do.

I told my midwife this and she said it's fine, because the baby is so small and not to start worrying about not feeling things until you start to feel big consistent movements and then they stop

Aw I wish I could feel my bean! Only 15w today, feeling like the baby of the group!

drew not sure "man up" is the right expression. My DH would last about a minute being pregnant. it's an odd mix of elation and fear, every day.

Peace, I was only 15w yesterday

Wow Lotsa what does it feel like this early on?

It's hard to explain, if you run your finger really lightly over your skin it kind of feels like that but on the inside and more movementy , that doesn't even slightly make sense but I know what I mean.

I can only feel it because I've been pregnant so recently, so don't worry that you haven't felt anything

I'm 15+4 and also feeling like a baby here! :) Dying to feel something, keep asking my wee toot if they are awake or not! My cats are loving cuddling in to my tummy these days (not that unusual) but wondering if they can sense anything yet. Baby is going to be very used to purrs when it comes out!

Still feeling like crap, despite bloods and blood pressure being okay. Knackered after a short time on my feet/up and about etc and feel like I can't do anything (and there's loads to do - DH does ' tidying' but not cleaning/dusting etc). Also feel a bit like as much as he is supportive/concerned he feels like I'm a waste of space right now. Lots of sighing. :(

Oh! Here's something I've noticed... My hips seem to seize up when I sit or lie down. I've never experienced anything like it before, but it's as if my core is just a solid lump and I can't get any flexibility to move. Hrrmmm.

I didn't feel anything until a lot later with DS

feel like that too peace, but I get it when I stand up too

Lotsa yeah I notice it when I stand up. I feel about 90 crawling up the stairs to bed!

Just a heads-up as we'll all be pregnant in the winter. I bought a lovely winter coat from the 'Yummy Mummy' (awful name!) website. It's teal and wraps around the bump. It seems crazy to be buying one in July but it was less than half price. If you wait until the weather gets bad they can be hugely expensive - May be worth making an early investment!

Thanks coddled I had a winter pregnancy last time too and ended up in DH's v unflattering fleeces at the end - to work. Did someone else mention ASOS is good?

My early movements are a bit different. You know when you get an involuntary muscle twitch, say in your arm or leg? Mine feel like that... A little bit like a pop from wind but a fuller feeling. The low kicks on my cervix feel like guitar strings twanging.

I guess this being third preg, I have plenty of time to think about it.

Very fed up of nausea now. 16 + 4

My first was a winter baby (November) too- but as it was nearly 13 years ago goodness only knows where my maternity coat has been and how many women have worn it!
If you're doing school runs in the winter you'll definitely need a coat that fits!

What a lovely day I'm having. I have the runs. Tried three times to spell diahorrea and can't. Fuck it.

Sat watching OBEM whilst hubby is working an epic shift. Dd called asking me to pick her up. I feel like a fucking taxi. So I refused! She isn't impressed. Grrrrrrrr. Oh and the house is a hell hole

We unintentionally went on a day trip to Blackpool today. Was a great day but so much walking. Was in so much pain on the walk back to the car. Still suffering now with lower back and hip pain (with added nipples pain now too!)

Don't think I've felt movement yet. Felt ::something:: last night but then based on last night's crazy ass selection of dreams I could easily have imagined it

17+6

Complete breakdown at dinnertime, my brain decided that I was a waste of space and couldn't do anything right. DH got me food and made me eat it, and I've gone back to the only thing I have done all day, watch TV on Netflix. Urgh.

House is a tip, the car I drive is broken (towed away this morning), and I have no way of ordering my dishwasher that I wanted to have delivered next Tuesday! I have no motivation and feel crap, so am just going to sit on my arse until Ifeel better. going out for lunch with a friend yesterday made me feel worse.

On the plus side, the MIL found a tiny dog wandering in our street this morning, and we managed to reunite her with her owners (who we found wandering in PJs and looking under bushes just down the street and round the corner!!)

17 weeks today.

A customer at work today put her hand on my stomach and asked me "how long I've had it" how bloody rude!! I'm not even that big, I have a little bit of a tummy and my work uniform is a bit snug around that area but I wouldn't say that I definitely look pregnant! I told her I wasn't pregnant cue lots of embarrassed apologetic rambling

I'm also feeling movements much earlier than with DS, am 15+2 today, and had them a few days. Was Defo past 17 with DS. Feels a bit like needing a pee, but focal and moving about, kind of stretching inside if that makes any sense? Only feel it if I'm exhausted though, eg after a run etc.

Done too much gardening today, regretting it now though :(
Leg cramps, foot cramps, and bizarrely boob cramps! Yikes.

sasseh hugs! hope you're feeling better soon.
Am joining you and drews in the house-is-a-tip club today, but really cba...

Anyone getting restless legs, pins and needles in their hands (Especially in the morning) and swollen feet and fingers? Or is not just me?

18+5

Had a twitchy leg last wee

Stupid phone! Last week I had a twotchy leg but only one evening. Woken up with pins and needles ib my hand last few nights but put that down to sleeping on my hand with more weight than usual/supporting the bump with said hand.

Part of my bad.mood is probably lack of car & feeling a bit trapped - not beinh able tp get out and see people sucks! - but also I have got dh's cold/swollen throat/ppssible tonsillitis. Urgh. Didnt realise I was coming down with it until late last night, drank lots of water & slept lots but its here to stay booo.

Speaking of drinking lots of water, who else is fed up of peeing all the bloody time?! Im going to record the number of times I get up to go pee today, and.probably count how much I drink, just to see...
