Good luck with your scans Jadis & Mrs P

I have a cough at the min and asked my Ob on Friday when I was in with him. He said all the over the counter stuff was safe to take but to send DH in for it as the pharmacist most likely wouldn't sell it to a pregnant lady. And my ob is a specialist in foetal medicine not just a gyne.

[Jadis]

Thank you, Pearl! I'm so excited to see him/her!

There's not many stores around me that sell maternity either! I have to make a 45 min-1 hour drive :|. I guess that's also why I choose to just make my regular clothes work, not to mention the prices here are ridiculous. Maternity clothes is so expensive!!! I've looked at ordering online too, luckily we had to go to the city yesterday so DH stopped at the mall where there was a store I was looking at ordering from and GOOD thing I went in, cause as I said, I could have fit a whole hockey team in the sweater with me HAHA thank goodness I didn't order online!!!!
SO nice to hear you're getting a belly!! That's awesome! Do you feel any movement yet??

I don't think I'm feeling anything. Last week I thought I felt something, I was at work and thought i felt faint flutters in my belly. But I didn't feel them anymore, so now I'm thinking it was my intestines or something, I'm not quite sure. I got first kicks from my DS at 16weeks, so I'm expecting them to start any time now. Just can't wait till I'm sure he's kicking not gas!

[dreamingpink77]

I'm sure it'll be fine. Remember our tummy's cramp with all sorts of digestive and hormonal things! Could easily be gas!!

Def agree! Gas is one of my greatest enemies this pregnancy

Good luck Jadis, hope your scan is fine

Thinking of you Mrs_P, hope everything is fine, keep us posted. I'm sure your baby will be ok

You girls are so lucky, being so tiny with cute bumps. I've been in maternity clothes since about 10 weeks (well, maternity skirts, but not tops), and in full maternity clothes by 13 weeks. My bump just popped out this past week too, and I am very obviously pregnant. I had a prenatal appt today, and my uterus is already well over my belly button - about to the bottom of my rib cage. No wonder I'm already experiencing heartburn! But at 15 weeks, it's crazy to think my uterus is so high already! Where will these babies go?! They better start growing OUT instead of UP, because there's not much room upwards.

Also...I'm super, super sick with an awful chest cold (lots of coughing, hard to breathe bc my chest is so tight, super sore throat, and coughing up green mucous - sorry, gross I know). Has anyone experienced this during pregnancy, and if so, what helped you? I am miserable, and just suffering through it because my OB has only approved Tylenol for use during pregnancy, which of course does nothing to help. Any suggestions?

I think it's quite normal being bigger with twins but can understand that it can be very uncomfortable. So sorry you are feeling sick sweetpea It's already difficult to be pregnant let alone having cold symptoms. When I have a cough I try drinking lots of hot water with a tablespoon of honey and a few drops of lemon. Honey calms the cough and the lemon juice helps to break the mucus in the chest. Other than that, sorry but don't know I hope you will be feeling better soon sweetie! hugs to you!

Thanks for all the lovely messages girls. After a bit of fight with the nhs i finally got scanned (they didn't want to do it since i was scanned the week before, even though it was private), still not been dated though so am going by my lmp dates. So far so good, she has grown since last week and her little hear beat was beating away so although we aren't out of the woods yet, its good news for now. Just keeping my fingers crossed she carries on fighting - no idea what all of the pains were though.

I had my u/s today but did not get a potty shot. I had the grumpy old lady u/s tech today and she said it was to early to tell. Baby only showed his/her back side today anyway. I go for a gender scan on Jan 15. Woohoo, I can't wait!
