Good luck today steph...eeek twins would be amazing

Im just counting down until the gender scan on the 25th, feels ages away. Now that my bloat has gone I just look flabby again want a proper bump!

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Hope you have a good scan Steph. Hoping its just one for you. 4 under 3 would be a very big challenge!

 

[Twag]

Good luck with your scan today Steph

Butterfly I am glad you have a strong support system around you

 

[Mimzy3]

Good luck Steph I also hope you've been feeling better! I would be terrified if I was having twins lol. Does it run in your family? why do people think twins?

My MIL came over to watch our son this morning and first thing she says to me is look at that belly...wow you're big already. mmm thanks? I'm already 14 weeks according to my midwives and in my second trimester with my second baby so I think my bump is justified.

I have an appointment with the midwife today at 11am excited to hear the heartbeat but on another note not excited that my husband might possibly be deployed for a year next month to Cuba!! He is trying to get out of it since its so last minute. He told them about my health condition of a hyperactive thyroid and that it can cause complications with my pregnancy in hopes that they will let him stay. So now I have to ask my midwife to write some sort of letter when I see her today.

Mimzy hope your midwife appointment goes well and DH gets to stay

Certain-My belly is the same!! I am 12 weeks and just look flabby!! When will this grossness finally look like a baby bump lol?!?!

 

[MummyM86]

Big hugs hon xxx

IT'S JUST ONE!!! so relieved lol,
there are a few twins in the family more so hubbys side. They are a little concerned but aren't doing anything yet, baby is measuring small even for the dates they have given me. I'm now due the 22nd.
just announced the pregnancy on facebook.
Still getting pretty nauseas, and i'm running out of anti-sickness tablets, go enough till Friday so i'm hoping I can get some more before the weekend other work is going to be hell.

Really hope your hubby gets to stay mimzy! xx

Glad you had a good scan Steph and it was only one

Just had a call from the hospital. Apparently the downs blood test now contains another test for a hormone, low levels of which are linked to low birth weight babies. My son was low birth weight despite no risk factors. Anyway I will be given more scans and they may well look to induce early. So it looks like birth and breastfeeding might go up the creak again. Just want to cry.

I am sorry Hugs but now forewarned is forearmed now you can work towards birth and breastfeeding so you can be in control

I'm so sorry mrsbump.

 

[DHBH0930]

Butterfly: So so sorry for your loss hope you are ok!

Mrsbump: sorry for the news. Just curious since I'm not knowledgeable on the subject but why wouldn't you be able to breastfeed?

AFM: my MS is at its worst, even while being medicated. Hope this is my "peak" and means relief is coming soon! FX at most 1-2 weeks left of this. I want to feel good again! NT scan on Monday , can't wait to see baby again!!!!

Hope you ladies are doing well. Getting so close to 2nd trimester! Some I think are already there!!!

 

[Mrs_Bump]

Have now googled low papp a and wish I hadn't. Gulp. My chances of successfu breastfeeding were always low as I have dyspraxia and no nipple sensation. Because my son was low birth weight with very low blood sugars he had to be force fed a bottle every hour. He was also very lethargic, so adding these two problems on top and it was basically impossible and I tried so hard. I made myself ill with guilt. I so wanted to be successful this time.

 

[Twag]

Oh Mrs Bump Dr Google is evil and although the test said possible doesn't mean it will happen I think you should talk to your midwife set your mind at ease - you measure ahead at your 12 week scan didn't you?

I'm totally clueless on this topic...but why would they induce you if the baby is low birth weight? Wouldn't they want him to cook as long as he could?

Yes Google is the Devil!!! Praying for the best Mrsbump.
