First Time Pregnancy (3)

[QuestionARhino]

Oops time for a new thread. Hope you all find it okay

@lydiangel83 I'm nearly 26 weeks, it was probably 20ish weeks when it improved because I remember I first felt baby move at 18 weeks and I was sleeping in the spare room because I was so fidgety and frustrated that night so it was after 18 weeks!

@Bubbasmama2017 ^^

Misson I'm 28 weeks and literally up ever hour to wee, regardless to what I've drunk during the day! Think it's body preparing us for sleepless nights!

Not looking forward to that!

I'm not peeing more than normal - maybe even less than normal!

@lionqueen haha that must be it! It's so frustrating especially when it's like the smallest amount wee but you literally couldn't hold it!!!
@victoriaaaa well you've got all this to look forward to! Haha

@Missonhartbaby I am a peeing machine 😭 I couldn't even manage through a 2.5-hour car journey this week, it honestly felt like the baby was kneeing me in the bladder repeatedly (she probably was the little madam). I'm up 2-3 times during the night too (more on a bad night!). 18 weeks of this to go 😩 but you're right it is a small price to pay!

@nc1990 it used to only be like 2 times a night which I could cope with, but 4/5 times is ridiculous! He's so low down at night and so active, literally kicking my bladder.. I know your pain! Haha.
On a different note, does anyone have an outy yet? Mine is so close to being there! I kinda want it to pop out but also find it weird at the same time

Same Misson it's almost popped out!

I wish mine would pop back in it's gone even further out from the pic I posted a while back, it now rubs on my clothes and you can see it through my clothes

I'm not sure my belly button will ever go outwards. It looks like it goes in too far.

I would be very surprised if mine popped out. It was quite deep to begin with. It is less deep now but has a long way to go before it comes anywhere near out!

My belly button is completely out now, I miss my innie!

What makes it pop out? Mine still in. First day back at work after holiday and a few people commenting how much I have grown. I don't have the heart to tell them it's pasta and pizza rather than baby that's made my belly grow lol

@lydiangel83 google says it your expanding uterus putting pressure on your abdomen that makes it pop out.

@mrsjkerry my oh has one like it it makes him feel sick if I touch it 😂

@DarcyParty yey high five haha
@TheLionQueen1 yes my tummy has little blonde hairs on it!

My belly button on defo on its way to popping out, my whole tummy is so tight!
Does anyone notice when you lie down and tense your tummy goes to a point? Its really odd.

@Squigglefish not noticed that but will be testing that out tonight lol

@Squigglefish no me neither I'm gunna test it out too

I was wondering if anyone could put my mind at ease as I am freaking out and I don't know what to do with myself, last Monday I started having brown discharge i went to the doctors and they gave me antibiotics for a water infection,it continued till Saturday but then in the afternoon of Saturday it went bright red and started coming quiet heavy so I went to the a&e they refered me to get a scan there and then as they thought I was having an eptopic as my right side was hurting me the internal scan showed I had a 6cm cyst on the right side and a 3cm cyst in the left side they also seen the baby in the correct place but no heart beat just a sac he told me the pregnancy looked fine but it is too early to say,I had to stay in the hospital until today and I had another scan this time not internal they found the baby with a heartbeat! I thought I was 7 weeks and 4 days but apparently in 5 weeks and 4 days, I couldn't believe it as I am still bleeding quiet a lot! but now I've started to get on and off period cramps not as bad as they would be if I was actual on my period but enough to feel uncomfortable,I don't understand it does it mean I'm going to have a miscarriage or can it be from my cysts? Any advice will be appreciated thank you 😊

Sorry Alice, can't offer any advice but hope you're ok. I don't know if any of the ladies on here will be able to help sadly as we are all pregnant for the first time, why don't you try posting in pregnancy topic and hopefully someone has been through similar and can advice?

Alice the only thing i had similar was the pain and doc was concerned it was eptopic, that was when I was 7 weeks had a scan and shown baby with a heartbeat and a cyst on my left ovary hence the pain. The only advice I can offer is there was a heartbeat that's a good sign just try to take each day as it comes

I'm really confused as to if this constitutes reheating chicken twice when you're only meant to do it the once safely.

Bought a rotary chicken Saturday. Sunday a family member made a chicken curry out of it for us. She put it into 4 containers - 2 to freeze and 2 to eat tonight. Wouldn't the making it into a curry to begin with make it reheated once already?

If you get me lol 🙈

Sorry Alice I can't help but hope the professionals can give you reassurance and everything goes ok for the rest of your pregnancy.

I wouldn't be so quick to say that people on here can't help though - just because we are all "first time pregnant" doesn't mean we might not have been through something similar and made it through. I've noticed a couple of times posters have been told to go elsewhere for help (not by yourself Lion so please don't take this personally, I just happen to have time to comment on this one) when actually maybe some of our numbers who are further along can help. As this is the first time pregnancy thread it's probably not unfair to assume a lot of these posts will be people's firsts and they might not yet be confident enough to start their own thread. Lion I think you were genuinely trying to help by suggesting elsewhere but it has felt at times that other posters have just been dismissed as how could we possibly know anything as we're first timers too.

X-post with Ew who proved my point a bit lol.

Well consider me well and truly told off then 😂. I didn't say no one could help, I suggested we were less likely to know being first timers. A thread dedicated solely to the question would hopefully bring more people in who have been there and maybe people that have experience through working with pregnancy and could give Alice a lot more advice! Alice my apologies if that seemed I was trying to fob you off, I actually thought I was doing completely the opposite! I hope you get some answers

😂 😂. Sorry lion. Not told off at all I promise! Just have experience of starting a thread that got no responses (what a loser lol) so didn't want Alice to get the same and feel a bit alone.

@Brens13 I've been on the loser front with you, ended up deleting in the end felt like a right Billy no mates 😂😂
