♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

Great scans and bump pics!

You are lucky to get a pic of baby I wasn't allowed at my last 12wk nt scan (darn private clinics) :cry: but my ob said baby is a slightly higher risk for down syndrome according to the blood tests but she also said that my 'older age' (I'm 36) would be the main reason for that. I'm just trusting in God for a healthy child and I'm not going into any further testing for that...children are a blessing no matter what! But my ob will be sending me to the bigger city for my next u/s as they are more experienced which I did not contest because she figures I can get pictures....! Only 6 more weeks to wait lol
I'm 14wks tomorrow and looking forward to some more flutters :cloud9:

Hope everyone is well
 
Loving all the baby pics!!!❤❤ sorry you didnt get one Molly..I didnt with my other two. The ultrasound tech let me take pictures of the computer screen quickly, thats the only reason i have them.

Also try to stress about your test results. They tell you every possibility just so you can be prepared, doesn't mean it will happen.

Lexi you look great!! Glad you are feeling better.

I cant wait to hear genders from people. Hubby and i will find out on Aug 20th, but it will be our little secret....as long as we can keep it...lol

I am starting to lean towards girl...not entirely sure why....but I passed up on bacon tonight and I officially think that means there is something wrong with me...ive never passed on bacon in my life! Time will tell.

Im jealous of all of you who have a sex drive at all...mine always drops to absolute zero when I'm pregnant. I feel pretty bad for hubby...but I literally have no interest.

I will be 15 weeks this week...I cannot believe it!!!!!

Hope you are all doing well😊
 
Sorry I've been absent recently.
I am at my scan now, and I'm so worried I won't be able to get a picture because I have no change, only notes but I couldn't find a shop to change it up at!!
Will respond to everyone properly later, but I hope everyone is doing well:)
 
What do you mean you have no change? What does that have to so with getting scan pics?

Ladies the bloat struggle is real. I look about 23 weeks pregnant right now. I have that painful to suck in feeling presently. I am excited for the 20-ish week mark when i am noticeably pregnant and not questionably fat!

We have to pay for the scan photos here, and the machine only accepts coins. Luckily the machine was broken, and they were taking notes at reception!

The in-between looking pregnant or have I just eaten too much sucks. I can't wait for my belly to round out too!
 
Oh wow never heard of that!

Country is this your first? I've found second tri brings a stronger sex drive so fx for ya ;) we are having a gender reveal party this time whoch we are planning for August 18th. I'm still not entirely sold on not being the first to find out (I was with both boys) but it means a lot to hubby and he doesn't usually have a strong opinion on baby stuff, so I want to make him happy. So my brother will be the first to know and will get is the necessary reveal supplies. He lives across the country and won't be able to attend the actual party.

Dang it all this talking about it makes me so impatient!!! I can't wait to find out! I have a scan next week at 13 weeks and I'm wondering if they'll be able to tell at that point...

I'm having a reveal too. I couldn't face anyone else knowing haha so I've booked my scan at a place that does the reveal cannons and balloons for you. So I will literally leave with a confetti filled balloon or cannon and everyone will find out at the same time. My little girl is wanting to pop our balloon and I'm not sure she'll handle blue confetti coming out haha! She is adamant they are girls xx
 
This is my 3rd.. There is no such thing as pregnancy sex drive for me...lol... Its like the second I'm pregnant my hormones are like nope.. No fun sex for you for 9 months..
 
Lexi my oldest son in convinced hes having a sister...I think hes gonna be one of those kids who cries if its a boy..
 
Today we met our miracle rainbow baby, and it looked like a baby!! Baby was super active and kicking up a storm. Heart rate was 160 bpm, which our OB said was super strong. I am over the moon and so relieved.

I am also 12 weeks 6 days, which is where I thought I was all along. My due date is now January 23rd :cloud9::cloud9:

Country same here, my 6yo has referred to this one as his baby sister :haha: what he doesn't know is my hubby declared years ago his sperm only makes men :rofl: he will probably be pissed but he'll get over it.

Hmm nothing that can stimulate that drive, eh?
Have you tried porn? :haha:
 
Maybe it’s cause I’m old :haha:, or maybe cause we’ve tried for so long, but I don’t really get the gender reveal party concept?

I can’t wait to be the first to find out, but I also don’t want to keep it a secret. I’ll tell everyone as soon as I know, I’m sure! I’m lousy at secrets. :winkwink:

I,too, am surprised you have to pay extra for pictures in UK. Yesterday they gave me a CD with 5 short mp4’s as well as the pictures. That was a nice surprise.

So glad everybody’s scans are going well!!

It will be because it's NHS and obviously free health care. When we go private and have a scan then we get images or dvds with those. That's the reason I see it anyway? Lol!

We are very lucky with the NHS so we don’t mind spending on photos ☺️ It’s usually £10 for three but you get a couple more than that depending on how nice the nurse is 😉

Beautiful scans too ❤️
Gender reveals sound so fun but I think my family would consider it ‘unnecessary’.. we’re just giving Ava a ‘it’s a girl/boy’ balloon to walk in with. Still hoping for that little sister 🤞

Yes we are very lucky to have the NHS, I've read about births costing women thousands so I definitely don't mind paying for the extras like scan photos!
It varies from hospital to hospital, my current hospital is £10 for 3 but my last hospital was £3.50 and you got any from 2-6 depending on how many they felt like lol

NHS looks great, as far as I can tell from Call the Midwife. :winkwink:

I have insurance with a $2700 out-of-pocket deductible per year, so since baby is due in January (a new year), I will need to be ready to pay $2700, though a monthly payment plan will probably be possible. Of course this means that the rest of my medical needs for the year will be covered except for the copay on office visits. My husband got a "free" $6000 surgery on his wrist last year. Of course you guys are paying for the NHS too through taxes, I'm sure!
 
Beautiful scans Ladies and so exciting that we are getting closer to finding out the gender. I find out next Saturday and it can't come quick enough :)
When I lived in England NHS was brilliant, so i am not suprised you don't mind paying for your pictures.
In Australia we have Medicare which is our version of NHS so you can go to public hospital and have baby for no out of pocket (or bare minimal)
I have actually chosen to go private as a pay for Private Health insurance every month about $200.
This means i have only an OB cost of $2500 but do not need to pay to give birth in the lovely private hospital and use their facilities :D
I am doing it this way as I am a first time mum and private allow you to stay for 5 days (instead of 1 night public) They help with breastfeeding and all information i need when i get to take baby home. I will get my own private room and hubby can stay if he wants too.
I Can't say yet whether this extra cost is worth it, but so far the piece of mind of having the same OB throughout is leaning me towards saying yes it is :D
 
That’s exactly it bbbb! They do get snap happy sometimes but nobody really complains 😁

Missmarple & wanting it’s worth it for having those babies here safe ❤️ It is the taxes paying for it too, yet somehow with the huge population they’re still struggling :(

By the way, does anyone find their cravings stay consistent or change frequently? Mine are always sweet but jump from one thing to another
