How did everyone's scans go?

I'm excited for all the upcoming gender reveals!!!!!!!!!

 

[Alea]

Hi ladies!

I can't thank you enough for the lovely messages you've sent while Maisie has been poorly.

I am happy to say that she in no longer in PICU and we have been transferred back to our local hospital and they anticipate she'll be home before Friday. She is doing so well and is improving day by day, thankfully.

NZ- Newcomers are always welcome :wave:

Alea - So glad to hear things are still improving! Just a few more days until you're home and can start putting this all behind you.

Anyone having braxton hicks contractions??

 

[KrissyB]

Pink - At about 9 weeks I had a few braxton hicks type of contractions. I called the OB nurse to ask about it and they told me A. it could be just some cramping from the uterus expanding (which you're more prone to getting second time around) and B. to be on the safe side up my water intake a lot. You may want to call and ask just so they have it on your file and whatnot, but I wouldn't worry.

Welcome NZKiwi :wave:

Alea, I'm so glad Maisie is almost back home again.

Pink, as I've mentioned before, I have an Irritable Uterus, so I get actual contractions throughout almost my entire pregnancy, so if I get BH, I don't even notice them.

I have my gender scan today. I'm so excited! I just wish I didn't have to wait until 5:30pm!

Spiffy YAY can't wait to hear!!!!!

Thank you ladies. I had irritable uterus with dd and was in and out of l&d because of it!! I will say the last week or so I've been horrible on my water intake :/.. I will definitely do better!!!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Pink, I know I replied to your other thread, but you'll probably have an Irritable Uterus again this time, and it's normal for it to start earlier in subsequent pregnancies. But hey, we can be IU buddies!

 

[pinkpassion]

Ha, I assumed I'd have it again, just part of it for me I guess!!! Alright then IU buddies!!!!

 

[NZKiwi]

Spiffy, can't wait for your scan update, how exciting!!

I have never heard of an irritable uterus before, it doesn't sound pleasant. I haven't had any braxton hicks, just some pulling and stretching. I'm at that in between stage where I'm looking thick around the middle but no obvious bump yet, can't wait to get a proper one!!

Great scan for me. Bubba is fit and healthy although not very cooperative so pictures aren't great

Just working out now how and when to tell my nearly 4 year old son!!

Ps change of due date to 23rd May please

 

[pinkpassion]

Great news hereishoping!!! Glad baby is doing great!!!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Hereishoping, glad to hear baby is looking good. Too bad about the pictures, though. Hopefully baby is more cooperative at your next scan.

NZKiwi, I had never heard of an Irritable Uterus before I was diagnosed with one! Just to give you an idea of what it looks like, here's a picture I took of the tocograph when I was pregnant with DS1. The giant blue spikes are the contractions that I have all pregnancy. (Oh, and I wasn't in labor when I took the picture either. This was just during a routine NST).

The Gender Experts were wrong...twice! Its boy #3 for us!

 

[pinkpassion]

Awe spiffy , were you hoping for a girl?

 

[bakerh518]

Hereishoping: we are due date buddies! (although I'm measuring 4 days ahead of that!) So happy to hear your scan went well! Even if the baby was being naughty!


Spiffy woohoo! Another boy! 3 boys under 4... I have a momma friend with the same! They are a blast!

This thread moves so quickly! Im so glad to hear everyones scans are going so well! We haven't even scheduled our anatomy scan yet! I can't wait to see the baby again!

 

[NZKiwi]

awww a little boy! Glad to hear everything is well at the scan too.

I'm a bit nervous about booking in my 20 week scan as the clinics close over the xmas break and I'm due for it the start of Jan, my midwife is going to do the referral next appointment which is the start of Dec, I hope its not to hard to get an appointment! I'm so impatient to find out what I'm having!!

 

[Flossie_Aus]

Went shopping today...

Gorgeous crib & change table - check!

Eeeeeee it's starting to feel real!!!!

NZKiwi I know the feeling, I'm 20wks right before Christmas so I think I'm going to have to go in a little earlier, because I can't bear to wait til January

 

[pinkpassion]

I'm 20 weeks on the 29th of December, so not sure how that will work out for 20 week scan. I just want my dh to be able to go and he won't be able to until after the 1st of the year, how late will they do 20 week ultrasounds? Like if I did it at 21 weeks is that too late?

 

[pinkpassion]

Wow flossie, you got so much!! That's awesome, do y'all not do baby showers over there?
