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

If you feel a private scan would help you relax sooner then go for it! I must admit I'm tempted but the money would be better spent on baby items and all the places that do it seem to be in other parts of town that are awkward on buses. So am going to wait it out till March 31st for the nhs one.

Omg soo hungry today. Just had a craving for grated carrots mixed with grated cheese and wolfed a huge plate lolol!

 

[Babylove100]

I really think it would, and it's only 2 weeks away so that will help too.

Sorry for tmi but is trapped wind a pregnancy symptom? I seem to have had it since yesterday! Am trying peppermint tea to see if that helps!

I'm having a scan at 8.5 weeks (although I know I ovulated a little late so it'll be nearer 8 weeks)

I just want to see if everything's OK really.

 

[Natasha2605]

I was also thinking of booking an early private scan. Would have been £99 but was really considering it as my lack of symptoms up Until midweek. Now I feel like shit so am positive everything is fine and I can save that £100 which is handy since I still have £1200 to pay towards our summer holiday

 

[Dark_Star]

I'd like to mention for anyone experiencing bleeding: I have spotted and bled for about 3 weeks and it has now stopped (fingers crossed) without turning into a MC. I'm feeling much better about things now.

This is exactly the same as me!

So we had our first prenatal. It went well. Didn't get a measure of the heartbeat but we saw it on the screen. So weird. Baby looks just like a bean. On the zoomed in printout I could make out a head and I think a leg lol. Measuring as about 8 +6 but keeping due date as Oct 1st. Doc said it couldn't look any better.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I'm debating booking a scan just so i have SOMETHING booked. Not even knowing when I will have one is horrible, I think it will be around april tbh, If my booking app is running behind it tells me my scan will aswell. So yeah April. So i'm tempted to book something in for march I don't want one too early as I don't wanna spend loads of money to not get much of a look. I'm thinking around 10/11 weeks. I don't think my nhs scan will be until 14...

 

[GingerPanda]

Well! I think I've found my future pediatrician!

He's local, has been published multiple times, has been voted one of "The Best Doctors In America" multiple times, and their office does NOT accept kids who are unvaccinated that should be.

They will let parents do delayed schedules, but they will not allow the delay of the MMR vaccine. Needless to say, we will be 100% on schedule for all vaccines in my house.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Oh bum! Xander's 3 year boosters will be due soon. We'll have to explain to him and when he's mad at us he's completely capable of telling us. Vaccinations are much easier when they're 12 weeks old lol.

Got a letter today for my smear test, I can't have it while I'm pregnant so I can put that bad boy off till Christmas

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I don't mind if there isn't much to see, but after my last pregnancy ended in a mmc I just want to know there's a tiny Ford in there

 

[GingerPanda]

Lucky you. In the US they make you get the Pap anyway, even if you're pregnant.


Ow! I just sneezed, and it felt like I pulled everything in my uterus area!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

/i'm going to start browsing some maternity clothes online! To get an idea of what I want for the summer; hardest part is getting them to fit! I wear petite, so need petite maternity clothes....apparently all child bearing women are 5'6 up..

 

[Mrs Mel]

Same for me. My mmc has made me so scared this time around.

I sneezed the other day and exclaimed "OW!"

Hubby asked what was wrong and I said "I hurt my uterus!"

He just gave me an alarmed look and turned slowly back to his computer.

Thirded. My MMC occured at 12 weeks and bubs had stopped growing at 6w, after me seeing the heartbeat.

 

[Dandi]

Sneezing is my least favorite thing right now, it hurts so badly!

Go for it then hun

I think trapped wind is a pregnancy thing. Been having it on and off. I hope the peppermint tea helps xx

Oooh where are you going? Sorry if you've already said!

Thanks hun xx That's got to be really reassuring for others having spotting xx

Omg I know! My two were a nightmare going for holiday injections!!
Smears suck- I've had enough of them to be put off for life lol had a few borderline ones and had to keep going back. All good now tho.

Youch yep had this too. Gave me a shock!

/i'm going to start browsing some maternity clothes online! To get an idea of what I want for the summer; hardest part is getting them to fit! I wear petite, so need petite maternity clothes....apparently all child bearing women are 5'6 up..

That is annoying! I must admit I know zilch about mat clothes tbh as never had any. Hoping to do same as before and have leggings / low rise bottoms and baggy tops in bigger sizes. Got plenty already lol x

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I don't usually buy any either. I feel like i want to splurge this time though ahaha, (good excuse eh ) Although I never get very big so like u said; i can just wear baggy tops etc. I only bought one pair of jeans and one maternity tshirt with my youngest. That was because I gave up in third tri but I was moaning like mad about "wasting money" haha.

 

[Dark_Star]

I'm very sad right now over Leonard Nimoy's passing. I have been a huge fan all of my life.
