2014 January Rainbows

[JohnsonGirl]

Welcome hopestruck glad you can join the journey with us.
I'm 14 weeks today- a lemon!! Can definitely feel a fullness in my pelvic area- odd when I bend forwards. All my trousers are too tight on the waist and there's a definite little bump that won't go back in!!! Bump pictures soon ladies!
This weekend I'm shopping for.......maternity trousers, yipeeeeeee!!!

Hi ladies, just finished uploading our 11w scan to youtube (to share on BnB) so I thought I'd post the link here. We have a jumping bean on our hands!

 

[Lucy529]

Congrats hopestruck cute video can't wait to see mine again

 

[Megan252]

Congrats on the great scans ladies!! So nice to see all the little ones

Hope everyone is doing well. I've gone 5 days without nausea, such a relief! Still tired and boobs are getting out of control! I didn't have much to start with so it's a big change, lol.

Congrats to the ladies entering the 2nd tri!!!

Everyone's babies are growing and looking so good. Had my 12w scan on Tuesday and was so happy to see baby

 

[ButterflyK]

I had a early scan and next appointment is when I am 12 weeks but they aren't doing another scan until 18-20 weeks is this normal? I think I am going to book another private scan if that's the case.

 

[Lyndzo]

Sorry hopestruck, I only saw this now. Still learning my way around here. But yes it's me!

Yes that sounds normal, unfortunately unless they are any problems you only get a scan at 12 weeks and 18-20 weeks in the uk, they might scan you later on in the pregnancy if your a first time mum or if there are any issues. I would highly recommend a private scan, they are pricey but wow are they worth it! I have had 2 already (I'm a bit obsessed) but the reassurance I get from them far outweighs the cost! I plan to have one at 16 weeks to find out the gender too. I don't know where abouts you are based but I used a company called myultrababy, the have clinics all over. They have clinic right by my house but also they are affordable, £75 for a dating scan, £60 from 13 weeks to term for a reassurance scan. I also might get a 3d one when I'm 25 weeks, it's addictive seeing your baby!

Just seen your in the US butterfly so I don't know the normal procedure for over there sorry xx

Hi everyone. Sorry i dont post much but i read all your posts. Congradulations to everyone on reaching the 2nd trimester!! Its such a great feeling and lets pray and hope in January we will all hold our rainbow babies. Went for my nuchal scan and the measurement was 1.3mm and the doctor says thats normal so i am more more hopeful ladies. Had the scan as i am 41 year young!

 

[Lucy529]

Khaya congrats I'm getting the blood work done this Thursday and they might be able to tell me the gender in a weeks time hopefully am aching to go shopping I won't get a scan until 18 weeks unless the dr wants to see baby's growth

Butterfly I too would like to get scanned but my drs said to wait there are no cheap places around here I would have to go Denver which is a 3 hr drive. But I get one at 18 weeks then with a specialist at 20 weeks then one every month until birth bc of my I diabetes and high blood pressure. But I want to get a 4D scan at 27 weeks were traveling to Denver for that one hopefully

Ooh and I'm a Peach today !!!!!

 

[JohnsonGirl]

Hi everyone how's things? I got the very annoying news that my harmony blood test didn't run properly so I have to have more blood taken and wait another 2 weeks grrrrrr!!
It's really hot here- has kicked my sickness off again. So to sum up- I'm pretty grumpy! Did buy a pair of maternity shorts though, whoop whoop!!!

 

[horseypants]

Rachel, poor thing! I hope you manage to stay hydrated. Lucy, peach! Yayyyyyyy!!!!! I'm going crazy waiting for my July 24 scan. I'm 11 weeks this Wednesday.......

 

[Lucy529]

Aaaw Rachel hope you feel better soon I'm hating the heat too I have 4 different fans on me at night my poor hubby freezes but hey am the preggo one

Horsey yay time seems to be going by a little faster now somedays other drag

 

[markswife10]

Congrats on 13 weeks Emmy and Lucy!!!!

AFM, 14 weeks! Feels SO grown up! Baby's still moving all around (hear it with doppler, I've felt a flutter here and there but nothing definite yet) and growing! Lately my issue has been constipation though miralax seems to have helped that out. And nausea has been back and forth, though I am ready for it to be gone completely now

 

[markswife10]

Sorry your sickness is back Rachel, mine wasn't fun yesterday either. Hopefully it will be gone for us soon!

I got some maternity shorts too! And a few tops and a pair of jeans! I needed them as my clothes (especially pants) were getting tight.
