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

[xCherylx]

My first midwife appointment isn't until 2nd April, going to be a long month!

I know the feeling, I have to wait until April 1 for my next ultrasound. 7 weeks is such a long time to wonder if both of my twins are living despite my spotting.

So many days to wait! Can't wait for my first ultrasound but that will be 6-8 weeks away! Have a happy and healthy 9 months

Geez I'm ravenous today!

Been for a good walk though so don't feel too bad about stuffing my face lol.

Booking in appointment tomorrow!!

I hope your appointment goes well. Mine is Thursday

Thanks I hope yours does too. Where have they got you going, mine's at Leith which is slightly easier for me on the bus than the hosp at little france x

I was told all booking appointments are at lauriston building so mine is all the way up there. Got to be there for nine so will be about an hour for me on the bus in the morning traffic

 

[tallybee]

That sucks! I'm waiting for the bus now. How dare they be late today dammit

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

if it was on time it wouldn't be a bus haha.

 

[tallybee]

Just made it

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

ace! let us know if they still give out those amazingly inconspicuous bounty packs. Might be different in scotland mind. I hate them haha. Can't bloody hide them and every one knows what they are.

I'm getting ready for playgroup; it's really not my cup of tea, i never ever took my 6 year old but we took our youngest last week and he loved it so i feel like i have to go back haha. On my own this week as oh is back at work.... these things are such clicks. I will be hiding in the corner for an hour drinking my coffee lol

 

[NDH]

I dont know if anyone remembers me but guess what? I'm back! Apparently my period 3 weeks ago wasn't actually my period. Was definitely a normal bleed that didn't make me at all suspicious of it being anything else. But I've been having such a full feeling in my uterus I had to test just to be able to put the what ifs to bed after seeing a bfn, only much to my shock I didn't. Its definitely not a new pregnancy. I should be roughly 7 weeks, due Oct 20. Will put my ticker back up tomorrow. Shock is starting to wear off.

 

[Mrs Mel]

Hi ladies, I wasn't really very active at writing on this page but kept up to date with what was going on. Sadly I lost my baby at 7 weeks last week so going to have a wee break from here. If you could remove my name from the due date list id greatly appreciate it. Wishing everyone all the best with their pregnancies.

 

[Mrs Mel]

Sorry to hear this sunshine star, hope you're ok x

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Sorry to hear your news sunshine x

 

[nmpjcp2015]

Sunshine Star, I'm so sorry for your loss.



My birthday was yesterday, and it was a wonderful lazy day. I lied down and tried to find the heartbeat on the doppler, but couldn't. Ah well. 9w1d is still early yet. 9w2d today. I stood up too fast earlier, and it felt like I pulled every muscle in my abdomen. Ouch! I guess that's RLP.

Anyone else horribly constipated? I haven't had a poo in 5 days.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Just to be a pain in the bum but a baby owl is called an owlet... I only just noticed this ahah. Although chicks does sound better haah


no I'm not constipated, i have been taking precautionary laxatives hahaha.

 

[GingerPanda]

They are called both chicks and owlets. I thought chicks sounded better too.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

are they really ? i didn't know that. Tbh i prefer hoglet

but that's totally irrelevant i guess hahah. Hoglet just sounds cute. Although I'm not a huge hedgehog fan. Someone threw one at me once.... it really hurt. Poor hedgehog hahaha

an owlet sounds like something you wanna us3 to charge your phone haha

 

[GingerPanda]

It might be a US thing, but they are officially called both here.

Owlet reminds me of "eyelet", like the metal rings you put the laces of your shoe through. I used to breed guinea pigs as a kid. The babies are called pups, but I always called them guinea piglets. I just thought it was strange that males are called boars, females are called sows, but the babies are pups not piglets!

Yeahh got that, even the mw said 'this is just advertising tbh'... had my rucksack with me with work stuff n it so just shoved it in there wth all the other stuff. So much paperwork!! lol.

Playgroup was never my cup of tea either :/

So.... yeah appointment was boring as expected lol, weighed, measured me; took blood, urine sample; all info into computer; I've consented to all screening etc and next appointment is the scan on the 31st!


Oh and told her I'm planning another home birth, and she said 'oh that's lovely'
