2014-2015 baby club!

[Tatemp]

Hi girls,

I'm feeling much better these days. Started work back last week after a two week break and it's been crazy busy.
I'm at 17 weeks now and we use the doppler every two days to listen to heartbeat. Since I'm not feeling sick or anything anymore it's a bit unreal for me. We are waiting on 20 weeks to start buying stuff for baby.

You girls are so far already, time sure flies. My midwife already signed me up for prenatal class. My first one will be in the first week of march. I don't really have a bump yet. How are you girls doing, anyone planning a pregnancy photoshoot?

 

[Phoenix82]

17 weeks wow that's flown, so pleased you are feeling better.

Are you feeling flutters,twinges or kicks yet? From now until week 22 is average if your placenta is at the back not front. That'll make it more real.

I used a Doppler a lot it's such a reassurance until you can feel proper movements.
Not long until your scan! Are you finding out if you are on team pink or blue?

I bet you can't wait to start buying things, I love baby stuff, it's easy to go mad coz everything is soooo cute ��
Your bump will pop out soon and antenatal classes are really important - we've only just started ours (a lil late I know).
I'm starting to get scared of labour now with not long to go 9 weeks left as of tomorrow
I'm seeing an osteopath tomorrow hopefully that will fix my trapped sciatic nerve and I can get some sleep. Dunno why my midwife has said there is nothing you can do for the last 20 weeks of pain ��
Yes I'm having a bump photoshoot at the end of Jan I'll be roughly 34 weeks (they say to leave it late for max impact on the images), I'm v excited.
Then we are having a photoshoot with the newborn and one at 12 months (it's a package). Are you thinking of one too? X

Hi girls I'm back but on my old account...I let Phoenix know the situation but basically cut long story short I had two accounts well technically I had one because this one I requested to be deactivated ages ago due to personal reasons so I wasn't using this account then I made a new account (nanninoo) but admin deactivated my newest account nanninoo as your not aloud more than one account although nlz2468 was deactivated and I wasn't even using it so they said I could have my old account re-activated which is this one but I couldn't have nanninoo re-activated as that wasn't my original that I joined with at the start so I'm back but no longer nanninoo unfortunately x

Hi naninno
Welcome back!!misses u here!!
Hope all is well.
things are okay my end. Started baby shopping and decided on name...week 30 begins monday!
I also applied for profess iona degree to study ononline ...really hoping I get the admissions...
rest assure is okay...
counting weeks!!

 

[Phoenix82]

Hey Ladies

Hope you are all good.

Nanninoo glad your back - glad I still have fb with you though.

Lil update from me had my 31 weeks midwife appointment on tues and found out my kidney infection was actually strep b back in November so I defo need iv antibiotics in labour, I was tested after antibiotics and it had gone thankfully. 31 week urine was totally clear and normal.

Everything was normal but then yesterday I got a dull aching that lasted all day and would not go away, baby wasn't doing much so I called our birthing centre to see what to do.

Long story short baby was ok after monitoring for 4 hours, but they found a uti causing contractions! (I was so surprised as I had nothing on tues but by fri I was in this position. Aggressive uti!!!
They had to do some internal checks and swabs to make sure I wasn't in pre term labour which thank goodness I wasnt. Now Im on strong antibiotics and have to go in for iv antibiotics if anything worsens or changes negatively. Soooo scared!!
I feel horrid and so worried that bubba might get sick or try to arrive too early.

The internal made me bleed a fair bit and now I've got a lot of brown which in itself in pregnancy is alarming.

Just hoping my lil peanut stays put until at least 37 weeks so I'm not classed as pre term - sorry for the doom and gloom xxx

Hi girls

Tatemp hope enjoy your pre-natal classes hun I didn't get a bump until 24weeks with my first and 16 weeks with my second so don't worry.

jannah nice to hear from you and I'm glad to be back couldn't leave you girls week 30 oh my goodness time sure is flying...exciting to hear you picked baby's name are you keeping it a secret until his birth? Good luck with admissions

Phoenix oh I never knew hunny big hugs I'm sure baby will be fine least they are monitoring you that's the best thing...have they said anything about your bleeding? I've heard having internals during pregnancy can make you bleed as your cervix is full of blood vessels so try not too worry as long as they know and are keeping there eye on you im sure you and baby will both be fine in the mean time take it easy hun look after your self I hope you feel better soon....uti's suck ive had them before and they hurt...hope them antibiotics make you feel better

Hey sweetie

Don't worry I didn't say anything on fb as I didn't want a billion questions from everyone I know.
We are ok, the meds finish after tomorrow (but I didn't have any symptoms until the cramping which is scary)
They said to go back if I feel worse but they won't recheck me!!! That makes no sense to me, as I was so close to being trouble.

The blood they said is normal but I wasn't prepared for the amount and any amount in pregnancy is scary!!
I had yesterday off sick and have done a couple of hours less today, I'm sure work aren't happy but the alternative is no going to happen my baby's health is more important. I just don't want to be signed off.

Omg lil man is so big already!!
How's Zac after his fall? I was so worried when I saw!!!

 

[Tatemp]

Hi girls,

Nanninoo it's great to have you back. The year has gone by quick, I'm so glad we all got our BFP's. 2014 did turn out to be our year after-all.
I haven't started prenatal classes yet, first week of march. People who know me can notice a bump, others just think I'm a bit chubby.
I'm thinking of joining an aquanatal exercise class not totally sure yet. I'm feeling really good right now, can't wait for 20 week ultrasound to see if everything is OK with baby.

Phoenix hang in there and take care of yourself. Don't overexert yourself and I'm sure everything will be fine. When does your maternity leave start?

Jannah good for you on getting a degree. Hope you get in and I wish you all the best with your studies. Good luck with the baby shopping.

 

[Phoenix82]

Hey

I really wanted to do an aqua class but they didn't have any here

I finish work 25th Feb (12 days hol) then mat pay starts on my due date 16th March x

Phoenix he's doing ok now it was awful when it happened he screamed so loud and blood was everywhere (I have a thing about blood it makes me go dizzy) I ran to get towels to try and stem the bleeding and his daddy tried to calm him down it was awful, once we got to a&e they made us wait nearly 4hours I was disgusted in the wait it was like 3:30am before they looked at him!! The nurse gave him a teddy bear whilst he had X-rays to check for any glass left behind in the wound that was all clear but the worst part was when they refered us the next day to the specialist children's hospital to see the cosmetic surgeon so my poor boy had to wait with an open wound for over 12hours before they stitched him up he was nil by mouth and he was screaming because all he wanted was a drink of juice I felt awful not giving him a drink he was begging me saying please mummy but thankfully he was in and out of theatre within an hour and as soon as he woke up he got his juice he's doing well he has a follow up next Tuesday so will let you know what they say! Honestly toddlers keep you on your toes I swear they are all accident prone and they deffinatly get your heart racing with panick most days so be warned lol x

 

[Phoenix82]

Ohhh poor lil mite! That's terrible, a young one with a head injury and that kind of wait! Plus 12 hour open wound.

At least he's on the road to recovery xxxx

 

[Jannah K]

Naninno
What really happened? Head injuriy?
I hope everything is okay!!

 

[Jannah K]

Hi girls
hru
so my blood work for 1 h glucose came back abnormal..so not happy about it. .next is 3h test. ..
also got low anemia...

 

[nlz2468]

Jannah he's ok ok now thanks hun it was a lip injury....we were visiting his grandparents he was spinning around in circles like toddlers do (they never keep still) he fell face first into a glass of pop on the floor (my 10 year old little niece had left) by accident and it smashed as he landed on it cutting his top lip open....he's doing great now went for a check up on Tuesday they are happy with it and said its healing fine so just hoping he isn't left with too much of scar when he grows up! Sorry to hear you failed your glucose I had to have a 2hr glucose when I was pregnant x

 

[Jannah K]

Wow naninno..u have your hands full!! I hope that he has quick recovery..
I have been testing sugar at home and it looks okay. ..my reading 1h was 140 instead of 130 but hopefully 3h should be okay since it's fasting...

Hey you! I see the night feed has woken you 4am lol
I cannot believe it's been so quick, what with your lil guy growing so quickly and I'm 6 weeks to go eek

I'm petrified but also soooo excited which is a strange thing.
We put the buggy/travel system and Moses basket bits together yesterday which made everything feel more real. I think the oh is getting more broody with everyday, that and we had a bump shoot together.

How's lil ones feed/sleeping pattern coming along?

Tatemp how are you feeling?

Hi girls,

Time is flying.
Last week I had really bad stomach pains. The midwife suggested round ligament pains, but since my husband had stomach pains the day before I think he brought home some kind of bug. Only I was in a lot more pain than he was, thankfully it passed by the next day.

I had my 20 weeks ultrasound today, all seems relatively well. Some measurement was a bit higher than what was expected, but there is no cause for to much concern yet.

I found out I'm on team blue. Not sure how I feel about that yet. I feel totally in the dark about raising a boy.

Hey you

Isn't it strange how quickly time goes???

Oh you poor thing! Doesn't it make you panic tho - normal things that could be so much worse for you while pregnant!! Glad you are better now and it was just a bug

Great news on your scan are you putting the pic up?

Don't worry about the measurements they'll keep checking your fundal height as well at midwife appointments, plus the measurements they estimate on a scan are usually out anyway. I have tons of friends who were told they were having 11lb babies and only had 7.5lb and visa versa.

Team blue congrats sweetie - I'm sure as much as I want a girl we'll probably be joining you. I know what you mean about not knowing how to deal with that especially if you wanted a girl but you'll be perfect and you won't care once they are here.
Great to hear from you
