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

[nmpjcp2015]

Seren those are cute! I love them. My sister is called Izzy and Harrison is a really great name.

 

[GingerPanda]

I would pronounce them different ginger.

How would you pronounce each one? I like the pronunciation "lu-see-an" or "lu-see-en". I'm just not sure how to spell it.

I would pronounce them how you have them written above and I would spell them how you spell them in the previous message. Or you can spell Lucienne and lucianne????

The extra nne on the end makes it look feminine to me. A similar name that we like for a girl is Lucina.



Izzy is such a cute nickname! I have a friend on here who called her little boy Harrison. I think it's a cute name!

 

[Dark_Star]

Of the two I think I prefer Lucien. Sounds a little more exotic. I like the -en sound more than the -an sound.

 

[GingerPanda]

I agree, Dark Star. I offered this name to hubs a few years ago the first time I was pregnant, and he didn't like it. I'll try again!

 

[Aliop]

GP, Wow! That price is nuts considering it is a US test and we have to have our bloods flown over to be tested and its on your doorstep! 12 months ago the price here was $1400 but it's dropping quite quickly.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

No more bleeding since last night. i haven't had any cramping or pains.... yet. unsure if it is worth mentioning it to anyone, i don't have a midwife yet and i have only heard the horror stories of my local epau , They wont see u for anything short of absolute agony. I suppose i shall just wait it out and see what happens. Sorry to bring everyone down! just have no one to offload to. That's the problem with first tri! everything is so secretive!

 

[Mrs Mel]

It's reassuring that the bleeding has stopped hun. I know, with my last pregnancy, when I initially phoned my epau, they told me to give it a few days to see if things got better or worse and to go in if they got worse.
If you do want to be seen you can probably see your gp and get a referral from them x

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Yeah i think i prefer the idea of waiting it out. It's just the unknowing... if i was bleeding heavily i would at least feel more certain that things were drawing to an end. . This way I'm left wondering.

 

[Mrs Mel]

I know the uncertainty is the worst isn't it. I really hope you get some answer soon and that it's all ok. In the meantime try to keep busy with other things

 

[tallybee]

Aw Rhi it's awful being in limbo. It's really reassuring that the bleeding has stopped. I really really hope that it stays away and that everything is going great in there! Xxxx

 

[Babylove100]

Sorry about your bleeding rhi, glad it's stopped though! I'd call about your midwife now! So bad you've not heard!

I have my booking appointment with the midwife tomorrow! Excited! But still dreading the scan on Saturday! I have everything crossed that everything's okay!!

 

[3boys]

I'm so grateful for my gp and epu where they will see me just to put my mind at rest.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Thanks everyone. .. i have that scan booked for Sunday still.. so if bleeding doesn't start up again i will know for sure then, although it has obviously put a downer on it.. not to mention it cost me 100 quid!

not a fan of spending 100 quid to be miserable but what can ya do eh.

sort of feels like I'm just waiting for Sunday to have it confirmed. bloody mothers day!

should try and be positive going to think positive thoughts haha. It's always easier to think glass half empty though isn't it.

 

[Babylove100]

Fx for you that the scan on Sunday is perfect! I know it's so hard staying positive, but I read somewhere, that thinking the worst won't make it any easier if it happens so enjoy every moment you are pregnant! If that makes sense, it was worded much better where I saw it!!

 

[ClaireJ23]

Good luck on Sunday Rhi, I´ve said on here before but I had heavy period-like bleeding at nine weeks in my first pregnancy and it all turned out OK. I know lots of friends who had this too and their babies are fine.

Love the name choices ladies, I´ve got a massive list of girls names and just one real favourite boy name at the moment which is James.

 

[tallybee]

Aw ladies 1st tri is so hard for waiting not knowing xxx hugs all xx

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

It is a horrible trimester. I have never had any problems in pregnancy so this is a first for me...

Whenever I pee I am having some brown spotting on the paper. Super tmi and gross. Sorry haha!

No cramps still.

I'm suppose to go college tonight. I really think i might blow it off though, I feel on edge, like I need to stay close to home (just in case) I keep worrying about going somewhere and it happening suddenly etc.

Would be handy if that midwife did finally bother her arse to ring though wouldn't it. The scan i have booked for sunday will (hopefully) be the mark of week 11!
Even if this doesn't work out i still think it's a bloody disgrace to ignore you for an entire trimester. I know the booking in is basically useless but it's nice to feel acknowledged at least.

I fear that if she rings me next week and things haven't gone well for me she will feel my wrath !

 

[Serenjay]

Im so sorry you are getting treated like this Rhi... I had an appt with my midwife to book in at 6 weeks but normally its 8 weeks, I went 2 weeks earlier due to my 7 losses and they said it may help for me to talk to someone sooner.. it did help. I've only had the subsequent scans because of my previous losses... my next scan along with what others would have as a first scan is when I am 12 weeks 6 days.. I think this would be a long time as when I had my other children (many years ago) we were scanned at 6 weeks. I feel that is a good time.

I would ring and ask her to contact u again as sometimes I notice messages are not always passed on or they may have a few days off and no one will be able to pass on a message..in that case I would ask for advice off another midwife.

I would rest up if I was you... you wont study much being anxious tonight.. x

yeah it's super shit the way they do that. You're right booking in is a bit meh but it's shocking that they wont even think of booking your scan til then! There must be lots of ladies that go too far over for the NT screening in that case even if there are no other issues!

Thinking of u xx

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

They did this with my last pregnancy as well. I think my booking in was at around 10 weeks and my scan at 14. So i booked a private one for 11 because that was too long for me ! haha. They also booked all my apps in late, the 16 ish week one was late but I had all ready heard the heartbeat at my gender scan a week previous so i wasn't too fussed. Also I had to request my excemption card at around 26 weeks. After I thought it was arrive in the post. I asked and it turns out they never sent off the forms.

We changed doctors practice just after my son was born because we went to the our of hours non app place attached to my doctors office and they made us wait over 5 hours with a new born (3 days old) I was still bleeding quite badly at the time so I wasn't enjoying myself, and I was just getting to grips with breast feeding and the waiting room was packed! Nightmare, we asked them at least 3 times how far down in the q we were because we had an infant and they kept telling us "45 minute wait"

when I questioned it a week or so later with some people i know who work in similar areas I was told that an infant that small should have been at the front of the list..

We left after that! But now it turns out my new surgery are just as incompetent.

I just tried to ring and chase up that midwife call back I have been waiting on since first week of feb, I couldn't get through and sat on hold for ten minutes until it cut me off ! I would bet money that they forgot to pass my details forward to the midwife!
