July 2019

[gne123]

Hello, I'm new to Mumsnet... still figuring it out... but we have just found out we are expecting a little bundle of joy in July... so thought I'd reach out to other mums expecting then too... xxx

@Porridgeprincess I'm looking a bit rounder too hahaha I'm usually size 8 bit can't fit into any trousers that are over the hip. I'm hoping it more baby then bloating, but I doubt it!

Thanks @Porridgeprincess, didn’t need the Anti D in the end as I’m Rhesus Positive. They think the bleeding was just a burst blood vessel due to the placenta growing.

I’ve had some constipation too and prunes have helped, thankfully I actually really like prunes, I think I’m the only person in the world who likes them 😂

Scan on Friday exciting and nervous think it will seem more real then, although I am getting a bump now more higher up I guess that’s uterus pushing upwards? Still having nausea and retching 😞 no pattern to it, taking the anti sickness tablets not sure if they taking the edge off or not. How is everyone doing?

I'm due July 11th. have been very ill with morning sickness which subsided at the end of week 12 but has returned with a vengeance today (14+4) !

My scan is tomorrow afternoon, I am so nervous! My sickness has been coming and going over the past week. Last Tuesday I was given anti-sickness medicine because I couldn’t keep the tablets down and I took it for a couple of days and started to feel much better. Then today, I’ve been really ill again!

My bump is less of a bump and more just fat haha. I feel like I just look like I ate too much over Xmas! I’ve gone from 12st 3 to 11st 8 since the 19th of Dec though.

@Vedette89 that sucks hope it goes
away quickly, I don’t think I could cope if it’s lasts all the way through. @BeckyButterfly what medicine did they give you? I think I will ask for something else, good luck for the scan hope it all goes well, how do we manage to drink lots of water and not wee before the scan? At the moment I’m constantly weeing

@Mayjane5 it’s called Metoclopramide but it isn’t recommended for pregnancy which is why I didn’t want to take it for too long. I had to do something about the sickness though so it was kind of a last resort.

Had our scan. We have just the one 👌 due on 28th July. Bubba growing nicely. Right little wriggler. 👶🏼

@Loujonesy beautiful xxx

Hi All, I'm a bit late to the party but due 16 July! Had my scan a week ago and feel like I can relax a bit more and enjoy being pregnant now! Hope everyone else's pregnancies are going well

Had my actual 12 week scan this morning (after quick one in A&E yesterday) and everything is going as it should, so happy! Been sharing the good news with friends and family, it’s so nice to finally be able to share

Aww wonderful news Gabby and that is brilliant you can share as well. It has been such a positive experience for me telling people and I love people talking to me about it as I have had to keep quiet so long and really the only thing on my mind is babybabybaby lol!

Did you get some nice pics? My baby looked straight at the camera... seriously it is so freaky, like an alien!!

Hi Laura!! That is great everything has gone well. It is so exciting. I love we are all around the same time here so experiencing the same things together x

Loujonsey, another July wriggler ! Excellent !

Thanks Porridgeprincess, it's really exciting to find loads of others going through the same experiences! x

@Porridgeprincess thanks. Excited now. Git some good pics X

Got*

@Porridgeprincess We did get a couple of nice ones but I stupidly forgot my bladder was meant to be full so the pics probably aren’t as good as they could have been. Still amazing though! It’s so nice telling people and feeling like I can get excited now.

Congrats on your scan too @Loujonesy x

Welcome @LauraMB13 x

I had my scan this afternoon and all looks great! Got to listen to the little heartbeat which was amazing. The bean had its thumb in its mouth the whole time!

Got a really good picture though, can’t believe how clear it is.

Aw that’s a great pic @BeckyButterfly 😍

Wow @BeckyButterfly that's a great pic! How many weeks are you x

12+6 today so 13 weeks tomorrow. My due date is the 24th of July.

Nice to see you ladies are all okay! Beautiful scan pictures. X Can I ask you ladies something? I've never been bothered by what gender the baby is and we weren't going to find out. I'm 15 weeks on Friday, so still got 5 weeks till we can find out. I feel myself getting more excited about it being a girl and getting my hopes up. I've had a miscarriage before and lots of family tragedies with babies so I've always never cared what the gender is only that they're healthy. But now me and my OH are only having one I feel I'm hoping it's a girl more than a boy. Does this mean I'm gonna be a bad mum if it turns out to be a boy and I'm a little 'disappointed' at first 😔 it's really worrying me.

And please don't give me hate. I have a nephew with special needs and I know how lucky I am to even have a baby. It's just something I wanted to ask.
