22yo TTC #2

[Tilly87]

Hi hun, i suffered from morning sickness from 6.5 to 9wks but seem to be better this past wk, sorry to hear you've still been getting morning sickness.
Only 1wk until your scan how exciting, mine is on the 30th so 2.5wks now going quite slow at the min lol.
I haven't had an app since my booking in at 6wks so my scan on the 30th will be the nxt time.
Hope your scan goes well hun x

 

[Tilly87]

Hey Joanna, how did your scan go? x

Hey Tilly!

I had my scan on the 19th, the doctor who did the scan just basically took the baby's measurements and sent the results to my doctor who I guess will tell me. It was the ultrasound where they check for abdormalities like downs syndrom, etc... so I guess the doctor who did the scan is only meant to send the results on. Anyway, I am just going to assume things are fine as we got to see the little baby kicking away on the screen and seeing it's little heart beating away. I've even over the last week started feeling these little fluttery feelings, which I am thinking is the baby moving! I'm officially 14 weeks today and onto 2nd trimester!

How are you doing, have you had a scan yet? Will you be finding out the sex of the baby when you can?

I'll post a picture of the ultrasound for you... I think it is sucking it's thumb, which is something I apparantly did in the womb.

 

[Tilly87]

Wow that is such a cute pic, do you have any idea as to the gender, in the UK they won't tell you the gender until the 18-20wk scan. Glad to know everything is ok as haven't heard from you for a while. My ultrasound is friday morning so hopefully i will be able to update with good news. Have you started to show yet? x

 

[Joannaxoxo]

I don't know the gender yet but will find out hopefully at next scan.... which I believe will be about the same time: 18-20 weeks. I have no clue either as to what it will be, hubby is still hoping for a girl but I will be happy with either.

You have to post a pic of your scan too if you can, good luck on Friday

And yes, I have started to show. I could see a little bump around 11-12 weeks but now people who know I'm pregnant say they can see the bump. Have you started to show?

 

[Tilly87]

This baby being the 3rd i thought i might have an inkling towards gender but i really don't have no clue and am just hoping for a healthy baby, ppl who know keep asking if i have any feelings but i just don't lol.
I will definately post a pic, i also have to tell everyone friday after my scan as only close family and a couple of friends know, don't know how we've managed to keep it secret for this long lol.
Only the past wk i have noticed that my jeans are slightly tight and i have a tiny bump, but at the mo it just looks like i've put on a little weight so i haven't had to answer any uncomfortable questions lol.
When do you next see your midwife? mine is 16wks x

 

[Joannaxoxo]

Wow 3rd baby, so exciting... i've heard that you show sooner with 2nd/3rd pregnancies... have you noticed a difference yet?

My jeans don't even fit anymore... I bought this pant extender thing that I can wear over my jeans so I can leave them undone.. I fit into them that way lol.

My next doctor's appointment is Oct 17th, so I'll be almost 17 weeks at that point. I can't believe how fast time is going now, so exciting

 

[Tilly87]

Yeh i heard that to, i'm a size 8 normally and have only just started to show so i suppose its different for everyone.
I think i might have to get an extender as i'm not big enough for maternity clothing but would like my jeans to be slightly more comfortable.
The past couple of wks have gone really fast, its strange lol, we haven't told my 2 little girls were having a baby yet, they are 6 and 3.5 so that will be exciting come friday x

 

[Joannaxoxo]

Oh thats so exciting, they will be so happy! I think everyone we know knows that I'm pregnant and have known since about 6 weeks haha. I will be keeping my mouth shut until about 10-12 weeks next time we decide to have a baby... though I don't know how easy it will be to hide it considering how crappy I felt for almost 2 months there. Did you get much morning sickness?

 

[Tilly87]

Yeh i think they will my eldest has been asking for a while when we are having a baby lol but don't know about my youngest because she is only 3 not sure if she will understand whats going on.
Its not easy to keep quiet lol!
I felt perfectly fine until i was about 9wks and then morning sickness hit but i was never physically sick, just felt it and felt really faint quite alot plus tired and got lots of headaches but its starting to ease slightly now so think i'm over the worse lol, its not easy when you still have to go about your daily routines is it lol x

 

[Joannaxoxo]

Definetly not easy to go about daily routines when you feel sick. I felt nauseated pretty much everyday from about 6-11 weeks, and still get the odd day when I feel sick. I have only actually been sick about 3 times and it was usually on days when I felt fine but a smell triggered my gag reflect... boy do I hate that because it is so unexpected. lol.

Oh I can't wait to hear how your LOs take the news!

 

[Tilly87]

God its horrible lol but will all be worth it in the end when we have little babies in our arms, even brushing my teeth has been making me gag and i need to do that lol.
Good to know the sick feeling is only down to the odd day though and you should start to have more energy soon to.
I know only 1 more day to go, i hope there happy about getting a little brother or sister, i will update and let you know how it goes.
Ceca do you have any news?? x

 

[Tilly87]

Everything went well at my scan, due date is now 11th April, Can't seem to upload the pic, how do i do it lol x

 

[Tilly87]

 

[Joannaxoxo]

Wow Tilly thats great news! The baby looks great We seem to be due within a few weeks... I'm due March 28th. Did they give you any idea of the gender, or are you waiting to find out?

 

[Tilly87]

Thanks Joanna, having the ultrasound has eased some of my worries, just seeing that the baby was moving so much. The sonographer didn't give anything away but i'm hoping to find out at the 20wk scan, are you going to find out the gender? I told my little girls friday as well and there very excited, my oldest wants a brother and my youngest wants another sister so we will have to wait and see. Your due date is exactly 2wks before mine lol x

 

[Joannaxoxo]

I will be finding out the gender as soon as I can, though my next ultrasound has not been booked yet. Hubby wants a girl and I would be happy with either. Will be pretty shocked if it is a girl because there haven't been any girls born in DH's family for a few generations. However, that being said, I've had a feeling for a few weeks that it might be a girl... though I thought it was a boy at the beginning. Haha so am really not quite sure at this point. Got any ideas on the gender at this point?

 

[Tilly87]

In the UK we have to wait for a letter telling us when the next ultrasound is, so hopefully will get it soon bc OH has to book time off work. I looked at your pic and have a feeling baby might be a girl but not definate as i'm not very good at guessing lol. I'm torn on the gender of my baby 1min i think girl the next min boy so guess i will have to wait and see but at the back of my mind i feel will be a girl because i already have 2 girls. Time will soon fly by though and we will know x

 

[Joannaxoxo]

Yay i'm glad you said girl lol... I am really hoping for a girl I think simply because my DH wants a girl and because the odds of a girl is so low haha. Though I would be just as happy with a boy. I've had a few others say girl from the ultrasound too, so I hope your all right lol. I am like you, one minute you think girl, next minute you feel it could be a boy lol, I really have no clue. I'm also predicted a Boy by the Chinese Gender Calendar.

It will be really fun when we can actually find out, i'm sure the time will go by quickly as it seems to be these days.

 

[Tilly87]

The pic just looks a bit girly lol, but can easily be wrong. I'm predicted a boy to but ppl i have shown my scan pic to some have said boy and some girl so i really don't know, i can't definately be swayed to either lol. Time seems to be going by very quickly, everyone knows i am pregnant now so quite glad we don't have to keep it a secret anymore. Has your sickness all gone now? x
