Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

[Gemie]

Hi girls I've missed so much I'm so sorry!

to anyone who needs them looks like lots of stress and worry going on

Great news on all the new scans and positive appts

AFM bought a tandem buggy today not brand new but I figured poppy wont be in a buggy too long so I'm not spending out brand new and what we bought does will do us just fine
Exciting isn't it?! Xx

What did you get? xx

It's a mothercare Phoenix

Is it nice to push Gem? I only tried 1 tandem when i was pregnant last time ( thats all our baby shop stock!) but it was really heavy! I still dont know what to do in regards to a double etc

 

[Gemie]

It's really nice to push heavy to lift!

Lora, please never feel bad. Have you been in touch with ARC before? They were lovely when I rang with Lucy's prognosis, didn't patronise me, spoke to me compassionately, gave me more information to research. And I wonder if they'd be able to help you get the results sorted or at least sign post you to someone who could help. This is not ok that you still don't know, and it's not ok that they're keeping info from you that's in turn causing you stress. It needs to be nipped. Thinking of you.

Oh, here's the website: https://www.arc-uk.org/

Thanks so much for this, no I hadnt heard of them before! xxx

Let us know what they say, ok?

Rerams....I'm not even buying one this time. I had Jack in a Moby and then a soft structured carrier so much that I have hardly used his pushchair. And he doesn't need it much now, as he's three. So, I think new baby will just be in a woven wrap or mei tai most of the time. (But I do love to ogle pretty prams!)

Ours isn't too pretty but it's practical.

I've always wanted to baby wear but having MS I don't have much energy so carrying baby around might do me in also poppy wasn't an attached baby she ever has been so I never had a issue with her not wanting ,e to put her down when I needed to do stuff etc.
My friend is very into to wearing and has lots of carriers and wraps etc I love the idea of it

What's bothering me today is that instead of brown and then the brown with black flecks it became, it's pinky brown. So, I worry it's working its way up to red. But there's not more than yesterday. And the cramps and Braxton Hicks are less. I'm trying to reassure myself with the lovely baby pic and that no problem could be seen, trying not to think maybe it's because whatever is causing the bleed isn't big enough yet to see. *sigh* But I still feel positive about the pregnancy.

I am in exactly the same boat. I have been having light brown spotting, with occasional pink and one night of a red splotch since last Thursday night. I had an ultrasound on Friday and everything looked fine and they couldn't locate a cause-- I have had a lot of what is probably Braxton Hicks too. I mostly feel ok about it all but there's this little niggling worry in the back of my head all the time because the stupid spotting continues. So feeling your pain!!

Manda, I was just thinking today I'm not sure if I'll get a double stroller. Dd is only 9 months, will be 15 months when Baby Bun arrives so I guess I should but she's never really ridden in her stroller anyway as I always babywear. I'm thinking with the second baby, dd would go in her stroller as she'll be heavy to wear and LO will be worn. I guess there might be times when I want both in a stroller but can't really think of any tbh...?

 

[lovehearts]

Lora - don't ever feel bad about talking about your children in here. We are all friends now and we are here for you I really hope they find the results soon, it would be disgusting if they have lost them, I hope that's not the case.

It's nice to see so many baby wearer's in here. I didn't start wearing my son until 4 months but I am defo going to start wearing from birth this time as long as my baby allows. Can I ask, to those that used stretchies, are they hard to get the hang of? Iv only ever used buckles. I really don't know what to do about the pram situation so I'm not thinking about it until after 20 weeks

Zowiey and pa2k so glad your scans went well. Lovely pics.

14 weeks today for me, officially 2nd tri

Xx

Wow, I'm having a lime!
Got my dating scan today and I am looking forward to going. (not looking forward to finding a parking space though!

 

[teacup22]

Lovehearts we will be babywearing, I've used wraps for DS since about 5 months
Creative- hope it all goes ok at scan x

 

[MandaAnda]

Brinib, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, too. Do you work, and, if so, have you been off?

Lovehearts, stretchies are easy, IMO. I started playing with the Moby when still pregnant. But you can get ones that are sort of already done up, too. I'm skipping the stretchy this time though, as you can use them long, and going straight to woven wraps and ring slings. You need to find your nearest sling meet and pay them a visit. The Slings & Things FSOT &Advice group on fb is very good, too...but very addictive, as is the Natural Mamas forum.

 

[autumn_leaves]

my due date, as of now anyways, is November 25, 2013!!!
i am 11 weeks, and was told this due date after a 7 week scan for bleeding! wondering if i will go late and have a thanksgiving baby!?

 

[lovehearts]

I have a RS for my son, and a connecta. I'm on the fsot group on fb, just never been brave enough to try a woven. I was planning on connecta or Mt. It's so easy to get addicted isn't it

Good luck for scan today creative.

I'm just back through the door. I am having one healthy little baby due a few days ahead of my dates so due on 26th November. Making me between 11+3 and 11+4. Blubbed like a baby when I saw the heart beat. Will post the scan in the morning as I am off out in a few minutes.

I'm so, so sad to be writing this, but unfortunately it was bad news at our scan today. The baby died at around 9 weeks (must have happened days after our early scan, when we saw the hb). We're obviously just devastated by this; my heart is broken right now.

I know that time heals though, and eventually we'll recover from this. I thank God for my beautiful, happy, healthy son and just pray that one day we'll be able to give him a sibling.

Thank you so much for all the support through the past 12 weeks ladies; I'll be thinking of you all and wishing you the happiest, healthiest pregnancies and will still share in your joy come November.

Good luck and loads of love to you all xxx
