Welcome to July 2013 Babies

Thanks 1st time mum and Anna! :)

I told my boss a few days after I found out I was preg. ! I had been away for two days and she asked if I was alright etc., I also just wanted someone at work to know, she was amazing about it (have only been there just over 2 months!!), said any time I need off (doctors, scans etc) to go for it. I was esp. glad she knew yesterday when I had to rush off to doctor with my sharp cramps. I have read about sharp cramps being a bit common around this stage so just trying to not think too much into it and just take it day by day, I do feel like my pregnancy has taken a new 'course' and diff. things are happening now, noticed need to go to the toilet more, breasts growing more, and now more cramps, so maybe just because baby is growing a lot!! Looking forward to my scan on Tuesday :)

Hi all. As those of you from the FB group will know, I had a missed miscarriage this week. Went for my scan and was told there was no heartbeat and the baby had probably died a couple of weeks ago. My body still thought it was pregnant though. So went to hospital on Friday and had an ERPOC. Ended up getting quite sick afterwards and staying overnight. Home now and being looked after by my parents and husband. Given my little boy lots of cuddles. Coming to terms with the whole thing. Going to plant a tree on our property in memory. Wouldn't wish this experience on anyone. So as I'm no longer pregnant, I'm going to drop out of this group. I wish you all the best in your pregnancies. We will be trying again soon and hopefully the next one will stick. So goodbye to you all. You will find this group to be an excellent support system I hope, just as I have found my December 2011 group to be. So goodbye and best wishes. xxxxx

Ohhh EmmaF Im sooo sorry M/C really suck Im glad your able to give your lil man lots of hugs

Sorry to hear Emma xxx keep positive for next time

morning ladies, YAAY 6 week mark. feeling alot better at 6 weeks this time than last time. (by 6 weeks last time id had spotting alot) had a couple of nauseous days and feeling tired as hell and sore boobs still. off for dating scan thursday to check everythings ok (last preg was blighted ovum.) nervous but excited, just want it to hurry up!!

I think when it come to the sex of the baby and morning sickness you cant really tell either way every woman is different and every pregnancy is different, in saying that by observing others and I think my midwife told me last time when it comes to your 2nd baby if symptoms are way different than last time then you could have the other sex if that makes any sense??? So if last time you had next to no throwing up, was super tired and had alot of pimples and had a lets say a girl.... if this time your throwning up constantly and have no pimples then it could be a boy.

i have had next to no sleep due to being in A&E all night with my lil miss so please forgive me if I have made no sense at all and if it looks like im speaking in some foreign language hahaha

ZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hi Homefish! Congratulations :) I am finding it very hard not to tell people at work also. My job can be quite full on and I get VERY tired and am having realt trouble with eating. Is anyone else having problems finding foods they want to eat?! Usually I can eat anything and everything but at the moment I am really finding it hard. I am really only eating a big lunch and dinner as I can't find much I want to snack on. Takeaways seem to be the onlt thing I want to eat and being gluten free that is proving slightly difficult! I am going to wait until the first day back next year to tell work as this is a new business and I know that my eventual leaving is going to cause some upset and I don't want the owner here to worry about it over their Christmas break. I can't wait to get to christmas to tell everyone! My partners best friend and his wife who I am quite close with had a baby 3 weeks and ago today and I would to be able to talk to her about it! My partners sister is also pregnant - only 10 weeks ahead of her so I can't wait to be able to talk to her too!! As least I have you guys! :)

Hi again, 1st time mum 2 b, i am also gluten free and really missing crusty soft white bread right now. Bread seems to be al i can manage in the mornings without feeling too bad to get to work, the vogels gluten free white bread is doing ok as a sub- for now!
So my doctor seemed really casual about the foods to avoid when pregnant- his mum ate everything, and he turned out fine. I've literally been too busy at work to go MW hunting yet, so community, how strictly are you sticking to the list? I'm pretty careful anyway because of the gluten thing... But still found the Drs attitude strange. Is that just me?

Hey, I'm GF as well and finding rice cruskits with vegemite the perfect snack at the moment! Also finding that keeping food by the bed is working wonders, I had a bobby banana at 3.30am this morning but woke up at 7 feeling much better than usual! "eat before your feet hit the floor" is the best advice I've had so far!

Met a midwife today that reminded me far too much of my mother in law, so I think I'll keep looking. Feel a bit bad, but I just can't do it!
