2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[tallybee]

Hi all. I'm due 31st Oct so just an owl! I hope everyone is having a happy 2nd tri x

Yay welcome to the group!

Ooo just realised I'm on 19 weeks today and she's mango sized! Wowsers so close to half way

Tallybee this is where ill say I hope I am at half way lol.. At term but early! Lol hope this doesnt jinks me

Yeah that'd be nice! My others were at 39+3 so we will see!

 

[3boys]

3 of mine were 41+2, 2 were 38 and 1 was bang on his due date

 

[apreslaube]

I was just lamenting that I hadn't felt anything in a few days and started having those annoying concerns that something was wrong. Just felt movement this morning. Lol I'm such a worrier! 4 more days until ultrasound!

 

[DoubleTFun]

Double: I am already feeling a lot of pressure too. You may be having contractions already, mine started at 16 weeks.

Here's a few pictures from my anatomy scan

Well my stomach isn't tightening at all like contractions. It just feels like a 5 pound weight is trying to get out. I know they aren't nearly that big yet. I know baby A has been keeping his head right on my cervix though. I just hope this pressure isn't going to mean that my cervix is shortening. It was 3.7 cm at my ultrasound on May 1. I have an appointment tomorrow since I am switching Dr's. My old OB office couldn't deliver at the hospital with the NICU and I want my kids as close to the NICU if they need it not be driven 30 minutes farther away from us than the hospital I will now deliver at.

Good idea DoubleTFun.
I've already debunked the heartbeat old wives tale - heart beat is quite fast and I'm expecting a boy

I'm very excited to be getting closer to the halfway mark. 10 days until my anatomy scan

 

[nmpjcp2015]

Wow. Looks like I've missed a lot. Just got back from work/vacation in California with my husband. Sort of like a baby-moon. It's back to the work grind tomorrow.

I've started working out again! It's helping so much. I've lost so much muscle and gained so much weight in the last year... Anywho. I'm working on getting it all under control.

Congrats to everyone who's found out gender and feeling baby move. Also, I'm loving the names! I hope all is well with everyone.

Next scan in 3 days. Fx'd for a little boy!

 

[craquinette]

Congrats on your scan DarkStar!! The pics look great!

Tallybee and Mississipi, we are all due date buddies When hitting 19 weeks yesterday I also thought "Hey, almost halfway!", and I too wouldn't mind at all if this was actually half way and baby came a tiny bit early

Anatomy scan this afternoon!! I was pretty relaxed about it until last night, and now I'm freaking out a bit!
Tally, my boyfriend is away for work too so he won't be there unfortunately... I'll ask if I can video call him during the scan so he can still see it... We'll see!

Have a great week everyone!

I hope the Dr switch is good and it all goes well! Xx

Ah I feel for you, going back to work is always such a pain after a holiday! Good luck with the scan!

Sorry to hear your bf will miss your scan too. I think video call is a fab idea xx I'll see if that will be possible too xx

Hi all. I'm due 31st Oct so just an owl! I hope everyone is having a happy 2nd tri x

we are due date buddies I am due a Halloween owl too

 

[Tink1o5]

Have any of you been getting any kind of pain horizontal right below your belly button??

I am currently taking antibiotics for a uti, but am still having lower (period area) cramping and I've also noticed a weird horizontal pain across the upper part of my bump right below my belly button.

Ant ideas?? I've called my ob and they are pretty useless.

 

[Twag]

Could you have pulled a muscle? sorry no idea hope it is just baby stretching

 

[Tink1o5]

Twag- honestly who knows lol. It's such a random pain...the horizontal one I mean. I'm calling my ob again today to get an appt to be checked for BV and a yeast infection too just in case. I want to clear everything up now.

 

[Twag]

Sounds like a good idea best to get checked over especially when pregnant

 

[cdelmar]

my baby's heart rate have been fast too...9 weeks about 170, 13 weeks 156 and 17 weeks at 150 and Im having a boy!

Tomorrow I have anatomy scan and Im excited to see baby! I invited my MIL to go too....to get here more excited about the baby boy (she wanted a girl and she hasnt been to any of her grandkid's ultrasounds so i think its special ). Hopefully baby is moving around. The office did not tell me how to prepare, should I just do what they told me to do at my dating scan???

 

[tallybee]

I hope you can find out what is causing the pain Tink xx

Cdelmar if they haven't said otherwise I'd go with the same prep as before.

I'm a bit pissed off oh got very drunk over the weekend and is worse than useless now it's bloody annoying he doesn't seem to register how alone it makes me feel. He suggested we take the dog (his dog) to the beach and we said my daughter could bring her friend. In the time it took her to get her friend (15 mins) he'd gone to bed feeling rough so I'm now left taking the kids and dog out while he snores.

 

[MissR]

Tally that doesn't seem fair at all! Why is he behaving that way? I hope he bucks his ideas up soon for you. Hugs xx

A week today until my anatomy scan. Excited and nervous at the same time!!xx

There was a gig on yesterday that we played at and a pre gig thing on Saturday as well as that. If I hadn't have been pregnant I'd have been drinking as well but this is ridiculous I shouldn't have to do this akone

 

[DoubleTFun]

Well went to my appt today and was told to get a pregnancy support belt to help with the pressure. So I'll be getting that this week.

 

[Mississippi03]

So four weeks ago at the midwives they told me babes hb was 168 and today they told me it was 137-143... Is it normal to have dropped that much? They have always been in the 160s so i feel like she was just wrong today?

 

[GingerPanda]

Mississippi, Luci's heartbeat was 138 at my 16 week scan. It is supposed to be slower now than it was in the beginning. It will keep getting slower as we go.
