- 2015 JUNE BUGS - Join Us!

[Snufkin]

Had my first scan today, everything looked good and I'm measuring slightly ahead at 13+3, due date June 2nd! Off to change my ticker...

 

[kit603]

Congrats on the scan Snufkin - funny that we both had 7th Jun for our due date, but we still have the same EDD after our scans even though it's now the 2nd

 

[Snufkin]

Oh, I didn't notice that!

Hey thought I would join this is my second pregnancy and I am due on the 15th of June

A little about myself and this pregnancy so far;
Well me I am 21 , live on a small island of the west coast of Scotland and have a crazy two year old son! named Kian me and my partner (Sean) are engaged and it's actually our 4 year anniversary 2 days before this bundle of joy is due
So far this pregnancy has been the complete opposite to my last pregnancy , to put it mildly without writing a whole paragraph , my last pregnancy was a dream! No symptoms , glowing looked and felt amazing and this one just blahh!
So far I have heard my wee babas strong heartbeat and seen her for the first time (yes I'm already convinced it's a girl ) and although I have been very ill (baby is completely healthy though is just me ) this pregnancy seems to be going a lot quicker then I remember the last time!

Congrats to all you ladies and looking forward to getting to know all of you's and your wee bubbas

Ugh.. my family is driving me crazy with gender stuff as well. I understand that I have 6 nephews, a stepson, and of course my previous pregnancy was a son. However, I really don't like them all calling this baby a girl just because they all hope it is a girl. It really makes me feel like they won't be as excited if I announce it is a boy! Drives me bonkers. I was even saying last night "it" and "baby" and someone tried to correct me to say "she". I nicely said I don't know if it is a boy or girl.


AFM- I didn't update yesterday because it was busy with the holiday here! I had an ultrasound and meeting with the genetic counselor on Wednesday. They scheduled the appointment but it turned out a bit early to take a nt measurement. Baby was spot on for the due date of June 15 still (don't know if I've ever had that changed on the front page). So, that's good!!

I go back next Friday for a follow up NT scan. Although, they said the fluid amount was looking fabulous and does mean something even though they can't use that for an official measurement.

They took my blood for the genetic test. It will check for chromosomal abnormalities and will also tell us gender (not the biggest concern there). I will get results within 8-10 days! I was surprised at how quickly they could do that!

So, I go back a week from today and then I go back to them for my anatomy scan at 18 weeks in January. They said at that point they will decide if they need to see me for anymore scans, connected to a genetic specialist and high risk doctor checks things out or if I'm good to just stay with my ob at that point.

I'm just relieved to have seen baby kicking like crazy and moving around! Oh, and heartrate of 174.

Lovely scan and by the way I think that looks like a little girl

 

[jaan613]

welcome sarah!

congrats on your first scan snufkin! - can't believe you had your first scan at 13w!

 

[Beadette]

Had my scan this morning and they have moved me forward to 8th June EDD.

Here he/she is. Look at the long legs

What do you think? Boy or Girl?

Congrats on the scans smoore and beadette

Welcome to the group sarah!

 

[Snufkin]

Jaan, I'm lucky that I had no bleeding or cramps or anything, so there really wasn't a need for an early scan. With my first I had one because she was a bit of an accident, so we thought an early scan would make it more real for us (and it did!), but this time he/she was planned and I've already had a successful and "easy" pregnancy before so it's much easier to just relax and go with the flow. It's still so reassuring to have finally had a scan...and baby was bouncing around so much!

Beadette, sorry I have no idea if you have a preferred gender, if you do and I'm guessing the "wrong" one, feel free to ignore me, it really is just a guess based on nothing. I think you're having a boy.

Hi Sarah, I've also got a 2 year old running about! So hard to keep up with her now, I hope I'll have more energy again soon! I've been living in Scotland for 7 years now and never made it onto any of the islands yet, except Arran and even that was just this year! we're maybe going on a wee trip round Scotland in the spring, before baby comes, so I hope we can see some of the islands then, I've always wanted to go (been a bit in love with islands in general since I went to St Helena before having my daughter! ) what's your maternity care like there? I know it's a whole different area, but I was just talking to a girl in Campbeltown and she has to travel all the way to the RAH in Paisley to have her baby, that's 3.5 hours away!

Anyway, done blabbing.

Same praying my energy returns soon!! Its Uist the one I'm from I love it here it's the best place to bring up a little one tbh maternity care is great like there are only two midwifes on the whole island so you see the same ones all the time and have a bond with them and that you can actually have all of your scans here now (with my first I had to travel all the way to Glasgow for my 2nd scan) the only down side is that you can't have your first baby here in the hospital and only people with absoultley no risk at all can have any baby wether it be 2nd 3rd or 4th , personally I am choosing not to have my second here either because if anything went wrong you would need to be flown out by air ambulance and I just don't like that idea, so I will most likely be having my second in Glasgow as well which is a 6 hour ferry and three hour train away and you have to stay in Glasgow two weeks before your due date so , you could also get the plane but it's just so expensive! So I guess that is a major down side to living here!

 

[Beadette]

I don't have a preferred gender. I just like the fun of guessing x

 

[Snufkin]

That sounds really stressful! Does the NHS cover any of your transport/ accommodation at all?

I'm not sure if its changed since I had my first Kian but last time you paid for transport and accommodation for the two weeks plus how long after you stayed after having baby but you get an expenses sheet and you fill in everything excluding taxi's so it is a bit of a pain like you need to save up a lot before hand I mean I spent well over £1000 last time but a lot of that was us getting take aways etc another pain is that well your partner is not very likely to get all that time of work so my oh actually came out a few days before my due date last time which leaves you feeling a bit uneasy everytime you have a twinge or even a blinking fart!

 

[smoore]

I realized I didn't put my scan pictures on my post..

I think I mentioned they didn't get a "good" profile, but said it would be more defined next Friday.

The other is my favorite! The itty bitty leg all stretched out and foot at top.

 

[Radiance]

I have a question for you lovely ladies -- I had pretty much no nausea earlier on, a little bit for a week or so after BFP but it went away and I didn't throw up - now I'm 13 weeks and for a few days I've been puking right after waking up and feeling nauseous pretty much throughout the day - I thought by this time the nausea should go away, not start ??!! So is this normal, has anyone had this in previous pregnancies..

I had some nausea here and there, not much at all. It hit me hard at 11.5 weeks. I'm now 13 weeks I had a good food day on Thanksgiving but now having a really bad day again!!

-------------------

I am so jealous of all these beautiful scans!! My high risk appointment is on Monday I finally get to see my baby in detail My first scan was at 7+1, ER so I only got a glimpse and at my 12 week she wouldn't do a scan. Because of my history I got into panic mode and couldn't wait another three weeks (nearly 7 weeks without seeing baby) for my high risk so went to the ER and explained the need for reassurance and they did a quick scan. I got to see baby for about five seconds! Baby was dancing, big, and absolutely perfect. I'm very anxious for my Monday appointment and these last few days have been very slow. Glad to see that everyone is doing good!

 

[mdscpa]

Good luck on your appointment Radiance....

AFM, waiting for another 5 days to see my baby again.... Also waiting for my doppler. DH might be able to pick it up by Monday so hoping we can hear the heartbeat prior to our scan.

 

[preg_pilot]

jaan - sorry, no advice on this end, just wanted to give you this

Sarah - welcome, sounds like my first and this pregnancy. First one a breeze, this one pure hell

smoore - always fun to see baby kicking

Beadette - I´m guessing boy

 

[weewdy]

Has anyone else still not told yet? I have no idea when i will tell, i like it being just our secret lol. I am 13 weeks and told with my 1st at 13weeks because it was my mums 60th.

Feeling really jealous of all your bump pics thats showing on facebook.i probably wont show for a few months yet.

I can definately feel baby move now. Mostly at night when lying in bed. I have felt it for a few weeks but thought it was my imagination. Its getting stronger now though.

 

[pink_phoenix]

hi there,
just thought id say hello,
due date is 20th of june 2015

found out in march after major brain surgery i was pregnant but sadly that little one was finally lost on may 14th after being found at my 12 weeks scan bean had stopped growing around 8 weeks, after a beautiful looking early scan at 7w+2.
didnt think we would ever see the other side as time just seemed to stand still.
finally moved to our own place in a beautiful part of the country and the peace and relaxation must have worked because within two weeks we discovered i was pregnant again

looking forward to getting to know you ladies, wishing you all the very best of health.
