@Gemstone2907- I have been thinking of getting one of those videos as well. If you get it soon let me know how you like it.

@Tashuurr- That's so disappointing that the nausea is coming back so strongly. I thought that the second trimester was supposed to be easier. I have been counting on that!

AFM the exhaustion is still just as bad but the nausea seems to have let up a bit in the last week or so. My breasts are so horribly painful that I have started using ice on them. Oh and they have a strange smell, I'm not sure if it's because of leaking but it seems like that has stopped for now. My blood pressure is still good but I have already started swelling some days, yesterday I had to take my ring off while out shopping because my fingers suddenly swelled and I was afraid it would get stuck.

I know. Not fair! Indigestion seems to be the worst but I think that’s what’s causing the nausea. I’m living off antiacids at the minute. I think I need shares in rennie as I can’t stomach gaviscon or peptabismol.
On the plus side I think I’ve started to feel baby move. Whilst I was sat doing nothing I could feel flutters/little jabs.. I think I’ve got a little jitterbug in here haha

@Tashuurr- I haven't gotten reflux too often yet but when I do it's horrible and won't go away, Tums have been my best friends on those days. Is it even possible to feel it so soon?! That's so exciting! I can't wait to be able to feel it move!

@prayingfor1 I had the indigestion symptoms from very early and it’s stuck around so it’s very possible to be having reflux this early. I only get reflux after eating particular things like really rich food or drinking tea... which I never had before :(

@Tashuurr- Haha! I meant to feel the baby move so early! I know you can have reflux at any time.

@Prayingfor1. I tried to find the June forum but it looks like it dissapeared or something. I posted a tmi picture and was wondering if you don't mind to take a look to see if this is IB. It started last night as dark brown and it is still continuing today so I put a tampon in to see roughly how much bleeding is going and it looks like it is slowing down but then again I haven't checked in awhile. Last night I felt little pricks near the belly button area and that is about it. I am currently on CD26 and last month that was when AF showed up so I am hoping that this will be a 28-day and that will put my AF start date Nov 10. Other than me, I hope things are progressing well for you and the baby is doing awesome. When are you due again?

@Tashuurr. If you would like to take a look too, you can. Feeling the baby move and kick is an amazing feeling anyone can endure and hope your pregnancy is going well too. When are you due?

ETA. Well, looks like the bleeding has subsided as there was hardly anything on the tampon. I have a weird question. Would it be safe to BD once all bleeding has stopped or should I wait another day? Thank you kindly.

@Dragonfly23- I'm sorry it took me so long to respond. My IB was not that much but that definitely looks like it could be! Did it turn into actual bleeding or did it stay brown? I was afraid to BD for a bit after my IB so I can't really answer that. It would probably be fine, I was just worried of knocking it loose or something lol. So far we are doing ok, I see the high risk Dr on Thursday so hopefully we will get some answers then. My due date is June 5th, which still seems so far away!

@Prayingfor1. I don't blame you with BDing. The bleeding has basically stopped. I hope your appointment goes well for you and that everything has subsided.

I had my appt with the specialist today. It went really great! I am so relieved by what he said. The ultrasound did show that I now have 4 small and a few more tiny fibroids but none of them appear to be close enough to the birth canal to cause labor complications and based off the current sizes it would be rare for them to get big enough to be problematic. It's still a waiting game to see how they progress with the pregnancy but as he said I'm high risk but on the low end of the high risk spectrum. The baby is right on target for my due date, the heart rate was great and it was moving during the ultrasound!

@Prayingfor1. That's amazing to hear that you are out of the high risk, hopefully they do not cause anymore problems for you and the little bean.
