Ah thank you :) away to give it a go lol.
 
So here is my 12 week scan :) Everything looks good, I had a very stubborn baby, he/she would not lie down and the midwife needed it to so she could measure things. Nurse had me jumping up and down and everything lol. So happy now I've seen baby and everyone now knows!!!

Oh and my due date has been changed to the 11th of August.

With my last pregnancy I knew the date I ovulated without a doubt, and had 32 day cycles, so luckily my midwife believed me and agreed to go with that date, which of course the 12 week scan confirmed to the day. But even so, I still went 17 days past due date!!!! Some babies just cook longer, due dates are so crap!
 
Hi guys,

I am back after a long absence from forums in the first trimester. I had pretty heavy bleeding at 9 and 11 weeks and found the stories in the forums were making me worry even more than normal. Now I am 14 weeks and have seen my baby jumping around like a crazy thing at 11 weeks and 13 1/2 weeks and my NT scan and blood tests came back great. I finally feel I can relax about this pregnancy a bit more!

I am measuring 5 days ahead (pretty consistently) but my due date is staying the same. I think it's a boy but we're not going to find out!

I am also planning a wedding for when I am 6 months pregnant, stress! Work is also crazy but it is nice to have something to take my mind off it :)

I am glad to see everyone is doing well and my thoughts go out to those who lost their babies :-(
 
Ok... After a bit of confusion based on the fact that my baby is growing faster than expected, and me thinking the EDD they were suggesting was mathematically impossible, I've decided to just give in and go with the EDD that comes directly from the written notes of my MFM doc, which read...
Observations: * *
Fetal Size: Large for dates* *
Fluid: Normal* *
Heart Rate: 160 BPM* *
*
Gestational Age: * *
By Previous Dates: 12 weeks, 4 days* *
By Today's Sono: 13 weeks, 6 days* *
*
FINAL EDD: 8/2/14*

So there you have it. August 2nd and I am sticking to that date no matter how fast wiggle baby grows! Lol. I swear, I have been so confused the last two days when someone asks me how far along I am. Now I have to change everything! CLynn, can you change me on the front page to August 2nd? Also, next scan is March 6th. Will know baby's sex for sure in about 7 days or so when cell free DNA test comes back!
 
I'm sticking with my own estimated date until I get my official date at 20 weeks .

My lmp is definitely wrong as it's a few weeks out and I was told on. Cd13 I wasn't anywhere near ovulation.

I tracked temp and did opks and they clearly showed the ov date so that's what I have used

First 2 scans put me 1 day behind.
Booking scan out me 3 days ahead based on cel
Latest scan baby was misbehaving so she based it on head measurements and I was 8 days ahead

All on all in a bit confused, plus hoping my baby doesn't just have a massive head, ouch !


Nice to see you back Klara I had heavy bleeding at 10 weeks too, still getting some brown spotting but the anxiety is slowly calming down
 
Has anyone started buying anything yet? Im thinking about stocking up on the essentials like nappies, wipes, bath stuff etc. Over the next few weeks so that its not as expensive as buying it all in one go. If you know what i mean haha. Or do you think im still too early to start buying?

I have. I've bought some unisex clothes and yesterday I bought a baby gym and some wipes that were on a great deal. I'm just so excited I can't help it lol.

I've had these gender neutral sheets that I love on my pinterest page for 3 years, they went on clearance last summer so I HAD to get them. Also found a hospital grade double electric breast pump on kijiji for $30 (retails for well over $100). My independence will be important to me when I'm recovering (to get to the gym) and I want daddy to have valuable bonding time with LO so this was a must for me.

Over the second and third tri I'll be purchasing cloth diapers slowly as I see deals as well as a second hand crib and stroller. The goal is to get everything we need and to spend as little as possible. Our money goes into big travel holidays every year, we have to get to Ireland to see family & show off our new bundle of joy!
 
Yeah ive brought just 2 gender neutral baby grows and vests but really want to start buying bits and bobs each week. Spread the cost i suppose rather than buying in one big bulk :)
 
I still have a lot of stuff from when we had our son, but we lived in a tiny flat when he was born, so didn't buy some of the big items, we just did without them. I've bought a moses basket (bassinet) in the sale from Mamas and Papas - £120 down to £50 - it's really beautiful with a gender neatral beige cover and quilt. I've also bought some beige and white sheets and a gorgeously soft blanket for it today, and a little teddy to go in as well. Couldn't help it! Though as soon as I unwrapped it I felt guilty and wanted to go and give it to my little boy who was trying to get to sleep next door, I think I'm going to have to get him something every time I get the new baby something from now on, because I do get such guilt!

I've also bought some gender neutral sleepsuits (because a lot fo my son's ones got ruined by his blow outs or being washed so frequently) and I have a few girl and boy items as well that I couldn't resist in the sale. I'll keep whichever ones we don't need this time for the third baby and if I never end up needing them, I'll give them away after that.

I'm going to buy a dresser with changer on the top (didn't have room last time, we made do with the floor) after I get my son his new bed. It's going to be a low cabin bed with storage underneath, which will take all the stuff that's in a cheap ugly set of shelves where I want the dresser to go. That'll be in the summer I think. And we're going to buy an iCandy Peach Blossom 3 when they come out at the end of Spring. Other than that, there's not much to buy... unless this is a girl... then I know I will go overboard with clothes. There is just so much more choice for girls than boys!

Hi ladies! I believe I have all scans and everything updated! If you'd like your scan on the front page, feel free to post it here or on the FB page (if on the FB page let me know you want it posted on here).

Hope everyone is doing great! :hugs: Can't believe i'm over 14 weeks already!
 
I won't be buying anything this time I don't think. We did start buying things right away with Monster, including crib and stuff before the second tri... Lol! We have just kept every scrap from him (and we never found out his gender until birth, so have stacks of neutral clothes too) so don't need anything this time.

I might however buy a new woven wrap... Lol!
 
We went to have a look at a baby shop yesterday. I picked out the Ergobaby carrier I want and we'll probably get one each. I wanted to try it on before I get a proper bump.

Apart from that, there's not too much to buy. We don't want a buggy because we live on 3rd floor with no lift, don't have a car and my mum told me to not bother buying newborn babygros because everyone will buy us them anyway.

All that is left is a crib, changing mat, few bits of clothes and bedding. I am planning on a spend up in Mothercare when I go visit my mum at 34 weeks (maternity leave starts) because it's cheaper than here. I am sure we are forgetting a lot but my partner knows where the shop is :-D

At the moment I am looking at maternity pay regulations (zzzzz) because we are due to move countries next Feb and I don't want to miss out on the last 6 months. I have a meeting with my boss tomorrow to discuss maternity leave, which I am dreading because I think he wants me to stick it out until the end of the school year (I'm a teacher) Is anyone else having to think about this so early?
 
14 weeks tomorrow on my birthday! Woohoo!
we've already bought a Moses basket, picked out pram that the in laws are buying us , and got given a bouncer, playmat and cot mobile that were my nephews, all gender neutral so its great! And kept a few of my fave outfits of my daughters , from 7 years ago , we didn't find out with her so some of them are neutral as well!
for my birthday im getting pregnancy related stuff! A pregnancy pillow and memory foam mattress topper and pillows because in not sleeping well, i feel like the princess and the pea the way i cant get comfortable!
some new bras ( need to get measured because my dds are too small :-s
and thinking of getting one of those fetal heart monitors, but not sure yet!

how is everyone feeling? Am i the only one still feeling rotton? My ms is still really bad! :-( x
