My obgyn had me have a second scan today due to my spotting and not being able to find hb on a doppler all was fine thank gosh I can rest until my next scan few weeks to go I think
So glad everything was ok with your baby
Yeah that's another reason I won't be investing in a doppler, it'd give me something to get obssessive and nervous about (other reason is the cost, they're really expensive here also because of the 25% tax on everything
).
Elz and Kat that's awesome your scan went well. Wow Kat you're baby is growing so fast! Well done!
Almost - sorry you've had that worry of the discharge but glad it's ok now.
Julz congrats on being PuPO not long to go now before you know. I so hope you get your BFP.
I wonder how Froggy and Tina are going?
As for me, we did our scan yesterday too and we got the ok. Kat we got the thumbs up too! Starting to feel more real. It was on the morning am early appointment and I only had a smoothie so she said it was still sleeping and she woke it up and it was moving around. We had an Ob appointment on Monday in the afternoon and it was moving so much. We're telling my husband's family this weekend. He wanted to wait till the scan. My Mum has known for a while! 2nd grandchild (his brother only has and will have 1) - they'll be happy i don't know if I'm ready for all the uber excitement as I don't really feel it myself yet. Obviously happy but very cautiously happy it's the weirdest thing. Staying positive but I'm just not Gaga happy or anything.
We also found out it's a boy - I must admit it's crazy but I was slightly hoping on having a girl and was convinced it was a girl because my symptoms were different to my mum and sister with boys. I decided to find out because I didn't want to spend the whole pregnancy thinking it was a girl. I must admit I did get a bit teary when she said boy. Only because it will be the first girl in my family as my sister is having a boy and my brother has two boys. But anyway, in a good place now about it because he'll have all these boys to play with - and my husband's niece is such a spoilt brat - so emotional and dramatic - that I'm glad it's different!
Thanks, yep it was great to hear, especially after my MIL and DH to a certain extent were giving me a hard time for not eating much. They can stick
that in their pipes and smoke it
Haha it's so funny isn't it? Hoping it's a good sign for both of us that our babies really are doing great in there
Although since DH and I listen to heavy metal (we both also listen to other stuff though; me I also listen to
a lot of pop and some country music) he would've probably found the baby making the horns sign a bit more amusing
Mine was wiggly as well, the nurse was having a hard time getting a good measurment which was great as we probably got a little more scan time
She tried to get mine to move more up to get a better measurement and wanted me to cough, unfortunately I think my coughing fits a few days ago has hardened baby to them so he/she didn't really react
Are they sure about the gender or is it more a guess? It has always been my understanding that they normally first tell you gender at around 20 weeks as it's more accurate by then (although we're Team
so we don't want to know!). So exciting you're also telling family this weekend! I hope you get lots of happy reactions
I'm sure that if it turns out to be a girl you wouldn't let her end up a spoiled brat! I know either way my child won't end up that way because I think it's awful when parents spoil their kids so they turn into impossible, entitled people.
BTW my MIL asked yesterday if she could tell DH's grandmother (who's her mother). DH foolishly told her yes and it turns out while grandmother was super happy she wasn't completely surprised as she "could tell" I was pregnant
Oh well, here's hoping DH's brothers, the youngest's girlfriend and the cousin have a more surprised reaction this weekend
Will first be getting stuff for baby at the baby's Christening which I guess will be around the start/middle of April next year. But that'll probably involve also stuff that baby can first use when older e.g. a nice necklace with a cross. Still a bit confused on who to pick for Godmother (Godfather is easier since DH has 2 brothers), my one female friend is the childish one so would rather not pick her and everyone else female is older (like my MIL and her mother).
Was so looking forward to doing it after this weekend and suddenly I'm hesitating. I don't know, maybe I'm still afraid of something going wrong which may have to do with how my life has been - so many things have gone wrong in my life. I took 2 educations but failed to be able to get a job. I tried to make friends here but most rejected me, perhaps because they sensed me as being odd/different (perhaps due to being raised in pretty severe emotional/mental dysfunction?) and the vast majority never gave me a chance. Managed to find a new friend but then she totally stabbed me in the back and blamed me for her laziness and subsequent failure during a project for my Lab Tech studies (was technically a group project but we had to write separate reports and keep separate journals for the lab part, she failed to keep a journal or keep track of the amounts of chemicals she was using) - she even bad mouthed me to the whole class how it was all my fault even though I did warn her and encouraged her to keep her journal. I tried so hard with my dysfunctional siblings yet they've ostracised me. Only exception has been DH of course!
