~*~ AUGUST 2010 ~*~ Moving into 2nd trimester, where things start getting better

[KayloHalo]

God, are we really on our 3rd thread???? Already???

Doodley I'm also thinking of extending my due date by a week to put off nosey parkers well wishers

I feel like I'm always postimg 'me' posts I'm sorry I don't intend it that way. I'm just a worrier when it comes to pregnancy, well this pregnancy anyway. Don't think I'll be settled until little pear is in my arms (but then theres a whole new truckload of worries isnt there)

baby pear did kick me a few times this morning tho so feeling better about that!!

I worry about headaches light sensitivity cos it's a symptom of pre-eclampsia and the ante-natal staff at the hospital thought I had it when pregnant with ds in 2006. Don't want it to 'return'

Feeling really pants and was feeling super fine this morning. Now I feel the blood is pumping really hard in my ears and my temples. Could this be my blood pressure?

Gonna be a true ray of sunshine aren't I??

Sorry just need to have a little vent
Getting totally fed up with being upset by my family maybe i am just being a little over sensitive think it a little of the green eye monster.My sister has always been molly coddled by my parents,and i get totally fed up with hearing it all one example is that both me and my sister have had a few MC in the last couple of years she has just been blessed with a beatiful baby and all i hear is all the trouble she had having him.I can appreciate that but in my case i have no sympathy just that i should think my self lucky that i have 2 children already.Also keep hearing about how she has been to ther house for dinner etc.Don,t think they actually release how much they hurt me some times and often find my self in tears after speaking to them.

BigMuther They sound very insensitive towards you - sending you lots of hugs as sounds like you very much need them. Very unfair to you for them to not acknowledge the struggles you have been through to become pregnant. I'm sorry you're feeling so down, it doesn't help with our hormones being all over does it hun.

Trouble is that i am of the relationship that my sister has with my parents,and i don,t need it rubed in by them.Just feel like not bothering with any of them as i don,t need the upset.

kaylo don't worry huney I feel like I'm posting about myself all the time, but is that not what we're all here for, to hear listen to each-others worries and support each-other. I don't think you come across like that at all

Glad you've felt your pear moving around, I can't wait to feel my little one moving about! Is it worth mentioning the light thing to the doc? whens your next checkup?

bigmuther Sorry to hear your feeling down. Is it worth having a chat with them and talking things through, probably sounds like the last thing you want to do but it might make you feel better? x

I have a mw appointment on Thursday so am definitely gonna mention it to her.

I can't wait for the 2nd trimester 'glow' - exactly when does that kick in??

Just back from my 12 weeks scan and both babies are gonna be acrobats lol. New scan pic on my profile

bigmuther - last pregnancy I was caught up as the go between in the family between my parents and siblings about bits and pieces - long term - told both sides that if they wanted to talk to each other to go ahead and do it but to leave me out of it as frankly I didn't need the stress! It worked for a short whileet (until post baby!)

I totally understand where you are coming from, my sil has it all from mil (I know another thread entirely!!!!) and we always get sidelined, have realised though that they are the ones that have to deal with the il, whilst we can take a step back which on occasions is very helpful.

Have you tried telling them how you feel, dropping things in like how it would have been nice to come over and how you were free on that date and what a shame? It shouldn't make a difference how many children you have already - and it is very sad that they have had such a hard time but just because you have children already doesn't make a mc any less sad or traumatic for you or your family. Have you told them about the problems you have experienced so far in this pg? Sometimes, it is best to just come out with something but in a noncrying emotional way and just say that you know all of this but you have suffered equal hurt and that even though you have children hasn't made it any less painful. I think it is often best to just say it once in a non emotional manner (well non over the top) and change the subject as they may not have realised they are being so insensitve - does any of that make any sense?

Hello ladies

Now in maternity jeans have got a bump already - it seems so soon!

Any of you who has had a previous cs could you look here please? thanks

gorgeous pic there Star you must be so chuffed. Will you be finding out their sex at your 20wk scan?

I bought some maternity jeans yesterday too!

if anyone needs perking up look @ this thread! www.mumsnet.com/Talk/baby_names/843081-Come-come-Share-your-guiltiest-pleasure-names?addwatch=1

Kaylo - snap! Feel like total crap today. Drained of energy, headache and quite bleary when I stand up... Roll on 5.30...

Bigmutha - I've got a sort of similar, sort of diff scenario with my family. My brother still lives at home (29!!!!) and I find it really hard sometimes to deal with closeness of their family unit. His experiences and challenges are always in the forefront of their mind. I guess it's a bit different with a sister, as the parallels are even stronger between you and her... Maybe try and let them all know how you feel by proactively trying to be around more?

Yeah will try and find out then but after 20 weeks ill be scanned every 4 weeks so plenty chance to find out. It actually feels real now. Even though ive had 2 scans already, just seems that now ive hit 12 weeks its actually gonna happen

kaylo, I had awful headaches last week for about a week and was constantly thirsty. [touch wood] I haven't had one for a few days now. I hope the MW can set your mind at ease!
bigmuther, sorry you're having such a hard time.

Not sure if you'll all hate me or if it'll give you hope but I have been feeling on top if the world for about 2 weeks now. I have honestly never felt better than I do right now, physically and emotionally

But to be fair I have been so lucky because I haven't had any sickness and no real nausea, just that horrible hunger-sickness feeling that had me eating every hour for the first 8 weeks or so - but that wore off and now I just feel fab. Really energetic as well, although I am very tired in the evenings and am sleeping more heavily than normal.

Anyway, I am putting it down to 2nd trimester glow, and now I'm spreading some glow dust around frantically to you all so you can share it with me!!

Thanks for the advice and letting me vent normally i let it all out with my DH,but he is away at the moment.Just hits a raw nerve every time say to my self every time i am not going to let it get to me,but it always does.Have told them before they just normally tip toe around me for a while then every thing goes back to normal.
Not in my maternity clothes yet but luckily have a lot of elasticated waists in my warbrobe.
Convinced i felt the little one move today im 15wks is it to early yet.
Love the picture starshaker

Damn you!!!!

I don't feel too bad either tbh. Got lots of stress atm so keep forgetting i am pg, just the pains and the fact that none of my clothes fit!

good work on the glow vix!

forgot to say, good job on the scan starshaker lovely pic

Despratly need some of that glow dust convinced i am going to feel crap till little one arrives.Spend most of my day now watching baby programs on discovery H & H and eating

Don't forget that One Born Every Minute is on tonight ladies! I thought it was amazing last week!

Also all your talk of maternity wardrobes has made me be VERY naughty and spend £120 on ASOS materniy section - all in clearance mind you so I got quite a lot for my money. really excited to get into maternity gear now, also fed up of fastening my jeans with a hair bobble!

£120 a selfish indulgence? I reckon as we are geting so many lovely baby things handed over from friends and family that it's ok - and I will pass them on too of course!

xx

I want some of that glow too - I'm sure it will sprinkle itself round in time

LCR I haven't watched One Born Every Minute yet, I do watch 'Deliver Me' on discovery health tho - Love that programme, and now one of the Dr's is preggers too DH hates it. Hates any programme to do with babies but I then sternly remind him that I don't care very deeply for Sky Sports News/Football/Rugby either and he shuts up

Bossy? Me?

Kaylo, they sound like some of the conversations I'm having with my OH too. Probably because I'm new but what does DH stand for? I'm having guesses at 'denser half' and 'dopey half' but think I'm probably wrong...
Bought my first maternity jeans this weekend too, they're a bit big but I suppose I could always eat a lot of pancakes!

vix that sounds greta
Here's to us all getting 2nd trimester glow! I could certainly do with it - in bed with a cold at the moment.
CarterM DH stands for dear/darling husband I think
