Ugh anyone else get their nausea back after a couple of good weeks? I'm 12 weeks tomorrow and it's kicked back in the last 3 days.

Bumblebee413 · 04/05/2020 17:53

She was showing me the legs and feet and as she went up I think I saw three little things there, although I could well have seen anything tbh. The sonographer did say 'he' at one point too. I know realistically it can be really hard to tell before 20 weeks. Also had another bit where I was less sure as well!

I never wanted to find out in advance- my partner has always been very keen. But I didn't mind this morning and somehow it makes it feel a little more real.

professorastrocat · 04/05/2020 18:18

Yes @Lola871 I had half a good week around 12 weeks then it came back. 🤨

@Bumblebee413 I wonder if they just throw 'he' in there to confuse people!

Just felt two kicks really faint but definitely not wind!!!!!

BooMamaBear · 04/05/2020 19:30

My DH felt it too!! I forgot how different to wind it feels!! Xx

Piglet11 · 04/05/2020 20:22

Aww that’s so lovely @BooMamaBear. I can’t wait to feel kicks!

BooMamaBear · 04/05/2020 22:36

She kicked a few more times but now I think she's gone to sleep and I miss it! It feels so different to anything else!
When I was pregnant with DD one of my co-workers asked if she could feel her kick so I put her hand on my tummy and when DD kicked she screamed she was like ' I didn't expect it to feel like an actual kick' I was like why not it's a little human a actually kicking? (I was about 8 months gone then)! Xx

Needallthesleep · 05/05/2020 07:48

Ahhh so jealous @BooMamaBear. That’s lovely

Hatepickinganame · 05/05/2020 09:18

Ah @BooMamaBear how lovely! I cant wait for that part.

So work is exhausting! And everyone knows haha i cant explain away feeling sick, peeing every two minutes and the weight ive put on! My trousers are too tight and i definitely have a belly... not a bump i just look fatter 😂 at 8 weeks.... uh oh.

BooMamaBear · 05/05/2020 10:00

@Hatepickinganame - i usually look fatter early on coz I get water retention but now as it's firmer it's more of a bump and it's just at the front! It's also big enough that people have started asking when I'm due! Thankfully they don't try and touch me due to social distancing I hated that last time I was pregnant!! Xx

professorastrocat · 05/05/2020 10:42

I'm quite pleased to just be at home as feel big but I don't have a firm bump, it's a bump but a squishy one.
How Lovely to feel the kicks! Is your placenta posterior? Mine anterior I think so should be similar to last time (ie no alien poking through moments!)

OP posts:
BooMamaBear · 05/05/2020 10:48

Yes it is posterior -it was anterior with DD but she was my first too so didn't feel her til 20w but it's quite low down so I'm not sure if it's affected by placenta position they do say the placenta can cushion when it's anterior tho! Xx

Bumblebee413 · 05/05/2020 10:52

I'm getting a squishy bump too- I've been blaming it on all the crisps! My placenta is anterior and low, so I'm hoping it moves itself over the next few months! Was doing calculations last night and I think I conceived around my birthday. Such a cliche! X

Hhdxx · 05/05/2020 12:06

@Hatepickinganame my husband waited in the car for me but did end up being for 2 hours. He was playing on his game boy so was fine haha!

@BooMamaBear I have to have my 16 week appointment over the phone too 😩 I thought I'd be able to hear the baby's heart and think they're supposed to do a urine sample too which they obviously won't be doing. So annoying.

I've started to get a bump! 14 weeks 1 day today... Can't believe it's happening! I've ordered some maternity leggings off ASOS and mine are getting tight! Bras are too small for me so just wearing sports bras haha!

So exciting to see everyone's due dates xxx

DPSawMyUsername · 05/05/2020 17:06

I can't say I've felt kicks however I have felt something a little different. It wasn't a twinge or a pulseor an air pop lol, a nudge even sounds to strong but lay still the last few nights there's just been these little, I dunno, prods? I don't feel them in the day.

DPSawMyUsername · 05/05/2020 17:33

Oh and 16 week booking appt letter came through today, they did say at the scan they didn't know is if it'd be at hospital or over the phone but the letter wants me at the hospital.

professorastrocat · 05/05/2020 17:38

Yes @Hhdxx no urine sample for me at 16weeks just a few questions re headaches/dizziness that may indicate issues (preeclampsia) but the other issues I guess aren't checked for either at the mo (utis/diabetes).

OP posts:
BooMamaBear · 05/05/2020 21:57

Totes not complaining but this baby is quiet all day then as soon as I lay down to rest or go to bed it's like she breakdancing apparently you can only feel the hard kicks at this stage so she must be kicking pretty hard sometimes she just moving around tho too!! Xx

Needallthesleep · 06/05/2020 11:23

A friend has just had her 16 week appointment at the same hospital as me and got the heartbeat done, so I’m hoping mine on Sat will still go ahead.

I can’t remember who was having on off morning sickness? I’m 16 weeks now and mine came back yesterday! So annoying! I ate an entire tub of Ben and Jerry’s for dinner, which just made me feel worse.

Does anyone else have any awful pregnancy symptoms? I get dandruff when I’m pregnant. Which is lovely. I also have piles. Bleurgh.

Hhdxx · 06/05/2020 12:12

@Needallthesleep I've had dandruff and I thought it was the lockdown but I've only have if since I've been pregnant.

I've had slight shooting pains today on my sides. Hoping it's just ligament stretching xx

Bumblebee413 · 06/05/2020 13:55

I've got dandruff too! I feel like my nausea ramped up a notch at 10 weeks and 3 weeks later I'm not really sure if it's going to go. I really hope so.

professorastrocat · 06/05/2020 14:26

I have a very dry scalp and I have that annoying blotchy pigmented skin on my face !

OP posts:
BooMamaBear · 06/05/2020 14:34

My hair is quite thick already and it goes really frizzy when I'm pregnant!
This is really random but I've noticed it as a sign I'm pregnant the 4 times i have been -I don't ever get more than. 3 hiccups in a row -think it's coz of my muscle condition but I quite often get hiccups and they don't ever stop until I have a big drink! However when I'm pregnant I don't get that they stop at a max of 4 from about 3 weeks gone! Xx

Hhdxx · 06/05/2020 18:46

I've still got these sharp pains. Had them about 5 times today. They're on the sides.

Can I ask a really personal question!? What should discharge be like. Sometimes it's a bit watery and I've had little bit of water today. If it was amnomic water, would I know about it?

BooMamaBear · 06/05/2020 18:58

I get watery discharge some days and some days not as watery!! Xx
