Anyone Due July?

[counting]

Nope, other than you ladies on here and the doctors, DH and I have decided to keep everything under wraps, especially considering the complications so far. If the doctors get everything sorted and baby is doing well, we do plan on sharing the news with family at Christmas, which will be at about 10 1/2 weeks, so not quite at the 12 week mark. The rest of the world(facebook,work, etc.) can wait until 12+ weeks.

Ooooo twins would be scary! I used to want twins, but now I've got one Im not sure how any multiple mum manages, kudos!

I think this one might be a boy, I definitely had feelings that willow was a girl from about 4 months or so.

Renner- how do you feel about managing a toddler and a newborn?

Sophbabes - when's your first scan?
X

My first appointment is dec. 13th yay! I cant wait! I did get my blood drawn the 20th so im going to call tomorrow and see if they will tell me what my HCG level was. My husband and I are going to wait to tell everyone on Christmas.. so exciting

They say once the fetal heart beat is detected, chances of a miss.. is only 5%. What a relief.. I need to hear that heart beat!

As for gender... I have a feeling it is going to be a boy!

Hubblybubbly- I have no clue! I need to figure things our quick though lol. My daughter Shiloh still sleeps in our room (in a co-sleeper next to our bed) and still has two bottles a day.. one in the morning and one at night AND I still have to lay down with her tell she falls asleep for her naps and at night. I have no clue what I am going to do with a new baby as well. I think over these next 9 months I am going to try and transition Shiloh to her own bed. I just dont want her to feel pushed aside when the baby comes but I am sure everything will balance out in time. My husband is great as well.. so with his help. We should manage lol.

How do you feel? Your little one is younger then mine!

Hello..its been à couple of days since i have been on but i have done told the whole world now i wish i would have waited. I feel horrible when i should be happy!

 

[SophBabes]

counting- Haha, yeah im totally the same. just both side parents knows. and 2 of my bfs close mates and 2 of mines, and one of my mates is 5 weeks pregnant, and im 7 weeks and 5 days we are now bump buddys lol. i cant wait to share the news to the rest of our family.

Renner- I Cant wait for my scan, i have midwife this week, just wish it would hurry up. lol. oh christmas i will already be 11 weeks and 6 days but will deffo tell the rest of family then other friends can wait till 12 weeks or after my 1st scan. im very apprehensive about telling people coz i have heard alot of my friends telling loads people before 12 weeks and loosing the baby.
just wish this week and then my 1st scan would hurry so i know my baby is okay xx

JRMwife- Awwwh Hun, it sure has been a while since u was on here last we miss you hope everything been okay for you hun. sending all my love xx hugs

 

[Renner]

Well.. the obgyn im seeing is not very good... I got my blood drawn over 5 days ago and the results still arent in. Then the nurse said, "I'll try to remember to call you" Very unprofessional. So I asked what will be happening at my 8 week appointment and if I will be getting an ultrasound.. NOPE. They dont do your first scan until your 20 weeks pregnant! I cant wait that long. Might have to find a new obgyn ughh.

 

[counting]

I don't know where you live- but here only one scan at 20 weeks is standard. Early scans are only if there are complications, but ultrasound is only indicated at 20 weeks in normal pregnancies. Generally they don't contact you if the blood work is "good"either. I don't know- what you are saying sounds pretty standard for where I live(province wide) but I know in other places early scans and such are common.

I live in Michigan.. It probably is standard here now lol but its just so different from when I was pregnant with my daughter (only a year ago). They did an ultrasound around 8 weeks to check her heart beat and stuff and then another around 12 and then one at 20 weeks and then 30 and 36 weeks. Oh well.. Im just a worry wort!

 

[SophBabes]

Renner-Oh 20 weeks i wouldnt be able to wait that long either hun, might have to go for a privert one and see ur baby

counting-Here in england, we have a scan at 12 weeks and one at 20 weeks which then can determine if boy or girl lol do you ladies know any wivestails?
gender predictors~? xx

 

[hubblybubbly]

Hey, how are you all feeling? Many symptoms? I've just started feeling nauseous in the evenings....the sickness is beginning

Renner- willow sounds similar to Shiloh! I have to lie with her to get her to sleep at naps and night, she bed shares with me too, she still has bottles three/four times a day and wakes up to 10 times a night..eeeeek! I too am going to have to transition her to her own room and get her to self settle before number two arrives...easier said than done though! I'm bricking it about 2 under 2!

Soph babes - I've already told my mum, some work colleagues, my work supervisor and a few friends, doh! Was meant to be keeping it quiet this time! For gender there's the Chinese gender predictor that you can google....but it was wring for dd!

Counting- I'm not sure how you have the patience to wait 20 weeks for your first scan! And not to be rocking the boat...but what about mmc, which are often picked up at 12 week scans?

I already had a scan at 6 weeks(due to complications).If you are at risk they do scan you earlier, but the 20 week ultrasound is an anatomy scan. MMC is extremely rare. Overall, worldwide, ultrasounds are only recommended when medically indicated(complications, diagnostics). For example, 24 years ago my mother never had a single ultrasound as it was not used in "healthy" pregnancies back then. I think it's pretty crazy how many ultrasounds some ladies on here get for a healthy low risk pregnancy!

Totally understandable and makes sense to me. I just like to see my baby . How did your 6 week scan go? Hopefully everything goes smoothly for you!

HubblyBubbly- I guess we both have a lot of things to figure out before our little babes come along! Keep me updated on your progress. I think im going to start having Shiloh take her naps in her room.. a start is a start lol! Is Willow walking yet?

 

[SophBabes]

hubblybubbly-awwh its okay, i wont dare post it on facebook. not till im past the 12 week park.. im 8 weeks today and have my midiwife appointment tomorrow woo i cant wait to see what she has to say, i hope i dont have the midwife that my mate has as she was totally horrible!

counting- oh yeah i mean i cant wait to have a scan at 12 weeks. i havent been scaned yet as i havent seen midiwfe yet to know if theres any complications. but i hopeing to be scan just after boxing day.. 12 weeks for me is 26th december xx

Renner- wish i would see my baby sooner, but id rather hold off and wait till 12 weeks then i know i will deffo see my baby thought of any names yet ladies?

 

[counting]

Six week scan went well! It was supposed to be my 7 week scan but baby measured earlier(Which I kind of expected because I have long cycles and doctor calculated from LMP). We saw baby, and a little heartbeat. I don't think they found anything else on the ultrasound (IE. cause of the problems) but I am going for the review with my doctor either today or Friday, and then to a specialist to see what she has to say tomorrow.

 

[hubblybubbly]

Renner - willows not walking yet, she's only just learnt to crawl...and is reaaallllly slow at it bless her, I have scary visions of her not walking when number two arrives..sure she will be...I hope!

Counting - glad your scan was ok, sorry didn't meant to be funny before, I just used to work in an obstetric unit so I suppose I have a skewed view on USS etc.

Soph babes - I have a really long baby name list, and my favourites change daily. I've always loved Matilda for a girl but my oh has vetoed it...massive sad face. Current front runners are Montgomery, rafferty or Wilfred for a boy, and indigo, pixie or Mila for girls. How about you?

[Renner]

Counting- Im so glad to hear your scan went well from what you know. That is great!

HubblyBubbly- Willow will be walking in no time! It seems as if they are just crawling and then they're running lol. Also I believe the average age for walking is 13 months now.. not 100% sure though. I love her name by the way! Shiloh was a early walker, she started walking at 9.5 months. I wish she would have waited longer. She went from taking a few steps to running in the matter of 3 days, and.. the chase began lol. There is no sitting for ten minutes while watching her play anymore lol.

As for baby names-We only use hebrew names in my family and it is hard to find a name that sounds some what decent and not hard to pronouce. Shiloh is hebrew for Gods gift, tranquil and peace. We thought about Levi for a boy meaning "joined". Or Mati for a girl also meaning gift of God.

HUbblyBubbly- LOVE the names Montgomery, Pixie and Mila!!
