July 2015 - more and more beans are seen on scans

[StoneBaby]

Here's the new thread

Please come and feel it!

Number3 I'm around 8lb gain here! I am hoping it balances out in 2nd tri

Fleurchamp fat hips? no DH, they are 'childbearing' hips! How rude!

Ok glad it's not just me then

Fat hips?? I hope you smacked him around the head

I'm burying my head in the sand and refusing to weigh myself. MW will weigh me end of the month anyway.

Not sure whether to call MW or not, there's not much she can do really, what will be, will be?

Sounds like it, although you can call just to express your pissedoffness at the whole situation.

I'm having a bit of a panic, I noticed yesterday that discharge (sorry if this is TMI) has changed colour and having the same today along with tummy pains. I've booked myself into the Drs but I can't stop worrying

I'll see her in a couple of weeks for my 16 week check anyway, I need to learn to be patient

Littledragon13 What colour?

I have loads at the moment, especially after the gym yesterday, it's clear / white but literally loads.

It's been clear/white up until yesterday but now it's a yellowish colour

Don't panic, may be a bit of thrush or a slight infection.

GP will be able to help

little mine changed from white to yellow couple I weeks ago, I don't think it's anything to worry about unless it is brown, green or smells funny (tmi!!) mine tends to be clear/white on wiping but more yellowy in knickers I also been having stretchy crampy feelings again for last couple days. Try not to worry as it is probably just uterus stretching to make room for baby

Should add that my bloods and urine came back clear for any infection :)

Had my scan, all is well and measuring bang on dates. 20wk scan booked for 24th Feb. So relieved, feel like we can start getting excited now!
12+4

Thanks everyone. I can't help but worry, feeling royally under the weather isn't helping matters! X

Great news Penny, so pleased for you!

Ladies, something a bit unusual happened to me last night.

Well not totally unusual, as I have suffered from panic attacks before but not for a long time.

I went to bed about 11ish, was having a strange but not scary dream and woke up at 1:53 (exactly)
My heart was beating weirdly, like really fast but felt odd. At first I thought ok fine, just the dream made me a bit anxious, but then I didn't seem to be able to control my breathing or my heart rate.
OH woke up and asked me if I was ok, I said I could feel my heart pounding, he said just listen to his breathing and try and mimic it (he has a slow heart rate)

I took a blood pressure tablet as I could also hear this annoying high pitched noise in my ear that I get and then tried to relax on his chest and sleep. I fell asleep about 10 mins or so later, then was fine this morning when I woke up.

It really worried me!

number ov had heart racing before, I asked my mum (ob gyn) and mw and they both said it is common in pg due to increase in blood flow. I have only had it couple of times late at night.

Good news Penny

Great news Penny!

I hated it, felt like I was going to have a panic attack and then worried it wouldn't slow down which of course made it worse.

number yes I had the same - panicking about possibly having a panic attack! The irony. Hope it doesn't happen to you again

number I've had that heart racing thing too, it's awful isn't it. How are you feeling now?

I can't fit into any of my clothes any more (except baggy jumpers!) so I had a big clear out and now my wardrobe is full of mat stuff, still doesn't really seem real though! I've gained about 7lbs so far but I'm actually pleased about this as in my last two pregnancies I gained a stone by this stage! So I feel positively svelte in comparison! no doubt I'll make up for it soon though. I'm 12+4 today.

Fleur I also have fat hips, as my DP commented!

I've put on about 7lbs so far (5 in the first 8 weeks and only 2 in the past 4). I'm expecting to gain an extra 30lbs but have agreed with DP to lose it all by Christmas 2015 (ambitious?).

Zampa I wouldn't worry too much at the moment about losing it. Everyone says you lose loads breastfeeding but some people (like me unfortunately) cling on to a bit of tummy fat that no amount of exercising was going to shift, and I don't think I would have lost it until I stopped bf. Instead I just got pregnant again

Also meant to say I obsessed about my weight last time and kept using those weight gain calculators which always told me I was well over the weight gain for about the first 25 weeks, but by the end I was bang on the recommended amount. It doesn't go on gradually so as long as you are eating sensibly* and listening to your body then it will be fine.

*and sensibly includes things like coleslaw and crisps and anything else your body is craving

Tiny - feeling ok now, heart is beating nicely about 60 bpm (mine normally goes around 50 bpm)

OH text me to say he is sorry he wasn't more sympathetic and feels bad, I suspect he may have told a female colleague I was panicking in the night and they had a word with him about his sympathy skills haha!

I have an agreement with DH that I will not weigh more than him

It's a running joke now as he is whippet thin and struggles to put on weight. Therefore my plan is to fatten him up!

(My DH wasn't being nasty about me, we were just having a frank discussion and he said that I have fat on my hips which wasn't there 2 weeks ago).

I have packed away my skinny jeans
