♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

[cuddlebugluv]

Lexi- Congrats! I'm hoping for a boy as well but I won't know till the 23rd of August, I keep having dreams that go back ad forth between girl and boy, lol! I don't think I can trust them at this point

Giggle- I hope all is well and we hear from you soon!

Does anyone else not feel pregnant during the 2nd tri? because of my anterior placenta I can't feel anything for a while yet, I've had ligament pains recently so I think things are on track but it's just weird to me to not have symptoms still lol. I hope everyone is doing well and I can't wait to find out more about your little ones!

 

[mwel8819]

Oh goodness, ya'll are going to make me want to find out sooner. Hubby and I have decided to wait until 20 weeks even though we can find out at 15 w which is the end of this week.

Giggle-How exciting that you have the answer in an envelope...that's how we did it the first time. If you post the pics here, I will have my hubby ultrasound tech take a look but I still won't tell you bc he will know for 100% fact. lol! He has been doing it like 10 years.

So, I have been playing with my doppler a little more since my scare and I couldn't find the hb for a couple of days. I knew it was there but it was hiding. When I did finally find it, it went up really high, like 190....it would climb back down to 167 but that just worries me. The next day I looked and I found it and it sat around 173 but then I heard a loud noise and it hit 200 and disappeared. I think the baby is hitting the probe causing the number to jump. That is what I'm going to tell myself to ease my fears. I googled it and did not like what I saw about it being a high hr. It has NEVER been that high at the doctor, so I hope I'm just being silly.

I go back to the doctor on the 6th and it can't come soon enough. They won't do an ultrasound so there is no way that we will know gender until 20 weeks in Sept unless I elect to do a peekaboo scan for $50 extra.

Hi ladies does anyone fancy giving me a brief rundown as I've done it again and disappeared too long to be able read and catch up!! Haha Xx

I see wanting is having a boy! Congratulations!! Any other gender reveal yet??

I had my reveal party yesterday... identical twin BOYS!! Ecstatic xx

Had consultant for twins the other day and although my official due date is 12th jan I've not to go over 22nd Dec! Hope I'm allowed to stay a snowdrop haha. Xx

Eta! Nevermind I caught up lol! Luckily not too much!

Giggle? Do we have an update

Also a recent bump pic from me. This was just over a week ago at 14+5. I'm currently 16+2 but yet to gain a single ounce lol x

Congrats and adorable bump!

 

[mwel8819]

Oh I love twilight too lol and after we picked this name I was like oh hey lol
This is my 13 week bump pic, have to do this weeks still. This baby wants to be seen lol

Cute bump! I also love Twilight!

 

[gigglebox]

It's another boy! No surprise there lol. I swear I saw his penis during the ultrasound anyway, plus an obvious nub shot. Haha when I saw his little man bits I just covered my face and involuntarily yelled "OMG I JUST SAW A PENIS DIDN'T I?!" the tech just said she had no idea and doesn't make gender guesses lol!

Wow congratulations Lexi! Dang we do have a lot of boy "snowdrops" here don't we?!

Mwel I wouldn't worry. Your doppler may be acting up, or it might be picking up baby's hb AND yours causing a high reading. I was happy to give mine back, too much stress for me!

 

[WantingababyF]

Congrats Gigglebox Yes the January boys are stacking up!!

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

Congratulations on the boy!

Sciatica pain is awful... I literally can’t do anything without a lot of back pain radiating down my right thigh. It happened with my son but not until much later.

I need to find a pool I can walk in or do water aerobics with all the old ladies.

Congrats on another boy! At least you know how to handle them. Ha! No surprises for you. How funny about you saying that about the penis.

Thanks for trying to ease my mind. I wondered if it would add two sounds together.

I hope everyone is doing well and I can't wait to find out more about your little ones!

I still have sore boobs and sometimes a tummy twinge, but I've been feeling "less" pregnant the last week or two also, which makes me nervous (what doesn't?)

Also everybody's bumps look so much more pregnant than mine. My always-sensitive husband told me mine looks like a beer belly. I don't even like beer.

So, I have been playing with my doppler a little more since my scare and I couldn't find the hb for a couple of days. I knew it was there but it was hiding.

This is why I don't have a doppler! I don't think my heart can take it.

Congrats giggle! Be sure to tell him that penis story as soon as he's old enough to understand!

 

[gigglebox]

Lol I will! Actually all three boys have interesting stories behind their gender reveals. With ds1 i found out accidentally, and with ds2 i had two scans where they were "75% sure it's a girl" before the final one where he went totally spread and gave an extremely obvious penis shot lol

 

[Emsabub]

Cuddlebug and missmarple i’m with you both. Apart from sore nipples I feel perfectly normal. Headaches are more frequent but I think that’s because of the heat.
My bump just looks like podge.

I can’t remember if I said congratulations giggle but just in case.. congratulations!!

Your bump is lovely. Don't guys know that we are sensitive, geez. lol

Also, I usually love having my doppler but lately it has become more fear than calming, for sure. I read about a high heart rate leading to the doctor telling this mama that her baby had trisomy 13 and that her baby was dying....I was like..omg close google...don't look back.

Congratulations on a boy gigglebox!

I’m really struggling with fatigue at the moment it’s part tiredness and part not feeling like I can be bothered to do anything. I’m on medication for anxiety and I’m wondering if my low dosage is not enough during pregnancy but at the same time I don’t wanna increase it. I find I’m at my worst when my partner is on a late shift.

As of next week for two weeks I’m on my reduced hours at work and then the week after that we are going on holiday so I’ve got 3 weeks of less hours and I’m hoping after that il be a bit better. This pregnancy has really effected me emotionally and mentally and although I’m really excited I’m just fed up of feeling so crap and was hoping it be better in the second tri but as of yet I still feel down

Same! I really wanted this pregnancy. I prayed for this pregnancy but the joy was taken from it as soon as I started bleeding that night. Now, all I do is worry. I'm sorry you are feeling down as well and I hope we both get to feeling better.

Missmarple- I totally understand about the small bump, I sometimes have to look in a mirror to go " oh, there it is" but each bump will be different, this is my 3rd pregnancy so I started to show sooner, it's just a matter of it catching up I think. Your hubby could use nicer comparisons, I know I'd have whacked mine if he made that comment in jest.

 

[cuddlebugluv]

Mwel- Yes, google is awful! I remember having a concern about my anterior placenta with this pregnancy and read some horrid stuff! Fortunately I had my check up the next day and my Doctor laid all that 'rubbish' to rest. If you can call your Doc/Midwife and ask her about it, I trust them more than google now that inaccurate information is flooding the interwebs, even google :/ I hope you feel better soon!

 

[mwel8819]

Ha! I just noticed that my ticker was off by 5 years on how long we had been married. Too funny!

Thank you, Cuddle, I hope she can put my mind at ease but nothing will completely do it until I have my anatomy scan, I'm sure.

 

[MissMarpleFan]

Wriggley and Mwel, I hope you guys can find your happiness soon. Anxiety is a real beast, I know.

Cuddlebug, believe me, I wanted to whack him, but he never really gets it.

At least I know when I do get compliments from him that they are totally sincere!

Tomorrow is 14 weeks for me, I don't know that I look any different than last week.
