Happy Monday girls

Well, okay so it might not be that happy if you're at work but hey, it's sunny!

Omi, how did your appt go yesterday? Hope you are feeling better now?

We had quite a nice weekend including a nice trip out with the dog to the coast yesterday.
Did some doppling over the weekend and I think all okay. Can't believe it's big scan days this week for a couple of members

Tuesday 9 - 20 week scan for Beachlover
Friday 12 - 20 week scan for Poshie

Anything else to add ladies?

Morning all! Feels like afternoon though since I had total insomnia last night and a grand total of 2 hours kip! Yuk

busy weekend, dog walking and doing house jobs!

Scan tomorrow! Gonna find out the flavour buy get her to write it and put in envelope so we can open it at a nice meal out or something. Getting nervous, just want all to be ok it's been wriggling all night....great a nocturnal child

big scan week this, me poshie and LOL too i believe! Tomorrow lol?
Best get working now x

 

[OmiOmen]

Exciting week for scans then!

My appointment went fine, it is so much better talking to a midwife than a doctor! I swear doctors just try to panic you. My next appointment is with my normal midwife on Wednesday so I am going to ask her some questions like why I need a 34 week scan.

I spent a few hours cleaning the kitchen and re-sorting things out in there over the weekend but still have a few cupboards to reorganise. I feel like I spent so long cleaning and did not feel like I got very far. Plus, I bought everything I need for the nappies and just need some cot bedding and the travel system now.

I have to take my cat back the the vets today to get her stitches out which I am looking forward to because she really does not like the collar on.

 

[Poshie]

Omi, glad the appt went well and the mw put you more at ease. Could the extra scan be to do with the placenta position? I'm guessing here, but it could be something else of course.

Oh and BL, rightly or wrongly, I am still wearing underwired bras I just don't get the support from normal maternity ones........feel like I should be wearing them now though as I certainly don't want to jeopordise breastfeeding

 

[OmiOmen]

I am guessing I am having Braxton Hicks that I can feel now. I have had what feel like period pains in by belly and lower back since last night. I keep worrying he does not want to stay in there much longer but I think that is the doctors making me worry from my night in hospital. I really hope he stays put for the next few weeks and I am just worrying over nothing.

I wear an under-wired bra every now and again still, not much because they are not very comfortable though. I find sports tops offer more support and better shape than the maternity or non under-wired ones which seems a bit odd.

 

[beachlover1]

OMG...the day has arrived! im now officially bricking myself!! only a few more hours to go ;-) im gonna get a bottle of coke down my neck before hand and a choccie bar to make sure LO get moving!!...pick the tip up out the forum!!

Omi...you hang in there!!! thinking of you and im sure yr little fella will stay put for a bit longer, hes just giving you a hard time to prepare you for the teenage years!!. xxx

 

[Poshie]

Best of Luck Beachlover Will we get to see a pic? I wonder what team you are on, do you have any inkling one way or the other? What time is your appointment and when will you be able to let us know the outcome? Exciting stuff

 

[beachlover1]

It's at 2.20 so I'll be back on later to update! I have a gut feeling it's a little fella but my guts are often wrong! we are getting her to wrote the sex on a bit of paper in an envelope and will open it when we are ready that is assuming all is well and it behaves! Be back later. X

 

[Poshie]

OOO exciting! You might accidentally see the sex of course, during the scan I plan to ask the sonographer if I can try to guess myself first (after the anomoly bit is done and all is well of course). Good luck and Enjoy!

 

[Jellyt]

Thank you everyone! Only 52 days to go now...eee! Yeah you hang in there Omi, glad your appointment was better and more reassuring, my midwife is rubbish! Good luck for the scan beach lover .

I have antenatal class next Monday morning which is exciting! Think OH is a bit scared but i'm looking forward to it. Then I have Physio Monday afternoon for my SPD so hopefully i'll get some help! Then I have the midwife on the Tuesday. I really feel like I have to force her to tell me things, she always rushes through things and I never get told what i'm measuring or anything without asking so i've been worrying that LO isn't growing properly or that something's wrong! I just don't feel like i've been seen enough but I know there's probably nothing I can do about that unless something was wrong. Hope everyone is okay xxx

 

[beachlover1]

I knew it I just knew it!! we wanted to get him to write it down but it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO obvious!! I spotted the winkey before he was even looking for it!! DH was over the moon of course.

All was great, nice and healthy thats the main thing. We are so relieved. THe ONLY thing that might be a weeny issue is that I have a low placenta at the mo....he said it may well move up, ill need re scanning. IF it doesnt...its a c section for me!!!!!

We had the actual consultant scanning us for once so that was fab, he said to still go for my NHS scan in 2 weeks, keep quiet about the private scan and make sure they check the placenta as ill need re scanning nearer the time to see if its still in the way!!

Other than that, ALL IS AMAZING

Poshie...your turn next!

oh and he put me forward 3 days....for what thats worth.

 

[Poshie]

CONGRATULATIONS!!

That's fabulous that all looking good with baby and more CONGRATS too for Team Blue I have been waiting for your update So how much was baby moving? Did they get the measurements easily, first time trying? You must be thrilled Another big milestone for you!

Goodness, yes, I guess I'm up next!

 

[beachlover1]

Thankyou!! he was quite calm today, moving a fair bit but fine for measurements. but all were taken first time too. they just get the position and take a still then do it!!

The consultant was adorable!!!!!....not good looking i mean, just soooooooooooo nice and reassuring, not too many of those awful silences!!!


Over to you now Poshie...all will be just fine!!! x

 

[Jellyt]

Yay congratulations! Congratulations on team blue too . One of my best friends had a low lying placenta and she had a scan at 34 weeks and it had moved up and she was able to give birth naturally xxx

 

[samzi]

congrats bl

I had a low placenta at my 20 week scan, and had a re-scan at 36 weeks and it had moved up and out the way - it will probably be the same for you, they usually do move up!

 

[beachlover1]

Thanks for the reassurance girlies.....pushing is not a lovely option, but I would like it to be an option!!! The consultant said they normally pop up so judging by both of you it seems a fair bet, and it was only a weeny weeny bit near the cervix.x

 

[beachlover1]

hey Jellyt, im near Leicester too!! going to the LRI!! xx

 

[Jellyt]

hey Jellyt, im near Leicester too!! going to the LRI!! xx

Hehe that's where i'm going too apart from antenatal classes at general! Where abouts in Leicester are you from? xx

 

[beachlover1]

im just outside leicester, near a village called Burbage. small world eh!!

 

[OmiOmen]

Congratulations Bl, hopefully the placenta will move for you.

What day is your scan Poshie?

JelltT, how is physio working out for you? I seemed to have bad pelvis problems and could not walk for a few weeks in my 3rd and 4th month but then it just went and now I only get mild pain in them from time to time. I have no idea what happened to me since I did not think they could go until after the birth!

I was worrying so much about early labour yesterday with so many and frequent and bad braxton hicks that was coming with waves of sickness and cramps in my back but I feel better today. After not noticing the braxton hicks and thinking they were small movements when the hospital actually thought I was in early labour I can say I can defiantly feel them now. I hope they don't stay so strong and frequent for weeks. I have another appointment tomorrow but with my normal midwife so hopfully she can answer my questions.
