December 2015 #4 - Hello Second Trimester!

[MissMrsMummy]

Making our way into the second trimester where we all start exercising properly and eating healthily (ha ha)

Wonderful scan news over the last few days, congrats to you all!

How do I find /join the Facebook group?

cherry I've pm'd you re Facebook group :-)

Anomaly re-scan update:

Well got there and beanster decided that not playing ball was fast asleep. Tried drinking cold glass of water but zzzzz so the sonographer gave up and said from what she could see looks like everything is fine so nothing to worry about but she can't tick all the boxes as there was still no clear view of the heart chambers. How the hell can they re- assure me that everything is fine whilst they couldn't even see a clear picture ( was fuming) anyways no more further scans till 30 weeks and 36 weeks. Was good to see little beanie again though - I can just sense trouble from this little one ;-)

Oh dear they are very naughty even before birth these August babies! It took ages for the sonographer to be able to see the chambers the other day I thought we'd have to go back as bean was not moving. Ten minutes after I got him I could feel him/her dancing about which lasted about two hours!

December!! What the hell am I on???? Had a long day!!!

Haha! Wish they were august babies! Then they'd be nearly here!

Saw this on m&s website today and they have 20% off today thought I should share it - unfortunately they didn't have any boys or unisex ones :-) but nice item for keep sake later

Oh p.s it £2.00 only ....

Just been sick again :-(

Oh no chops what a nightmare are you managing to keep anything down?

It was just my breakfast Sharon had 2 pieces of toast OK since. Feel super tired and headachy though. Sigh when will I be well again?! Please don't say December!! Lol

Aww chops hope you feel better soon that little one needs you. You might also want to consider continuing taking your vitamin tablets as in case you can't keep anything down that will help( well that's why my midwife recommended I stay on them) do speak to your mw . It doesn't help with low iron as well you really need that little bit of energy. Try drink lots of fluids they do recommend orange juice . What a nightmare ! Hope you feel better soon - when I wasn't well I discovered lido linessa box juice it has 12 ingridents in it to be quite refreshing.

It says not to take other supplements alongside the iron tablets. Mind you I've not asked the GP or a Midwife as it was all done by text I had the blood test, results text to me saying pick up a prescription. No further instructions. Pile of impersonal crap.

Sorry for the self indulgent messages

Chops I would call your midwife and ask that ASAP . Went I was told I was low in iron though never got to the point of being prescribed anything my midwife said to me if bloods come back and still negative will give you iron tablets but was recommended to take vitamin c along side and was told orange juice was the best. It might be why you're poorly that iron is building up but other nutrients are fading ( just my opinion - I'm so not a doctor or mw) just trying to help as sometimes I feel like these experts can tell you anything or mixed information from different experts

Hi! Is it too late to join you? I had my 20 wk scan yesterday and am finally feeling a bit more confident about being pregnant though hope I'm not jinxing it by posting on here

Do you all hang out on fb or is there anyone still on here? I'm not a big fb person so looking for some mn company for the next 20 wks.

Stats - I'm 34, have DS who's 2 and after a couple of mc I finally seem to be on to a good one. Due 17th Dec.

Hi mrsdiddly, good to see you on here! There are still a handful of us who post on her regularly as we're not on the FB group. Congrats again on your 20w scan!

chops I hope you're feeling better today?

Sorry your little one wasn't playing ball again cheshire, how annoying. Hopefully you'll get some more reassurance at your next scan.

Only two more days until we go to Cyprus, yay! Need to get organised and start packing this afternoon. My in-laws should be arriving soon as they're coming with us, so they can entertain DD while I get the suitcases out.

Hi mrsdiddly! Please do hang out. I'm on here AND the FB group :-) I'm 35 and 20+4 with dc1 who is a boy, we found out Monday! Congratulations on your scan :-)

I'm feeling better today thanks. Cold has gone but I did take a sickness pill this morning after losing my breakfast yesterday. Went to work but had a dizzy spell and decided to come home.

Have a nice holiday metal if I don't speak to you before!

I'm only on here!!

How exciting metal make sure you rest up when you get there

Oh I plan to sharon! That's why we're going with grandparents .

V jealous about the holiday metal enjoy it and the childcare you're taking with

Hope you have good weekends ladies. We're heading to a BBQ today and It'll be the first time we've seen all our friends together since announcing this pregnancy. Going to be lots of baby talk. Hope I can survive it OK. Times like this I miss beer.

Chops thanks for the PM but I can't remember my paddlers so can't log in to get it I just MN on my phone and don't ever seem to need to actually log in
Can you just let me know the name of the FB group and I'll try and find it that way?

I'm coming up to 22 weeks now and getting some major kicking this evening! Surprising really as I've only in the last week or so felt any movement at all! DP has been having some fun with the Doppler today for the first time. I bought it out of paranoia about 2 months ago but got to scared to use it! It was only a fiver luckily!

Paddlers?!? *password (doh!)

Welcome Diddly! I was also over on the Pg after Mc board, nice to see you here

cherry the group is secret so I don't think it can be searched for?! It's just called December 2015 antenatal group. You can try? If not you'll have to add me as a friend and I can add you. The pm was so I didn't have to reveal myself on here lol! I have a really common name though, there are 100's of me! I'm Victoria Roberts, narrow it down with Bristol and my profile picture is me on all fours with a cartoon sheep on my back, don't ask! Message me with the friend request so I know who you are
