Lol!! Pink was definitely my intuition but hey what do I know!! I now believe in the intuition of the first child!!
 
Wow I can't believe how many team pinks there are compared to team blue!

DH is quite excited about having another boy and went out and brought a double pram :) xx
 
Hello August ladies! I've been dreading join you guys, but I reckon it's time to face reality. I'm due September 1st with a little girl. I have 2 boys and a stepson ages 7, 5 & 2 so DH and I are really excited to be team pink. I really want this baby to be born in September as all of my kids' b days are 2 weeks apart...9/12, 9/27, & 10/09. My due date us approximately 2 weeks prior to the 9/12 bday, how crazy is that?! Anyways, my boys all have/had to wait an additional year to begin school and having an August baby would really throw everything off. But considering both of my biological children were born 6 days prior to their dd and this baby is already measuring 4 days ahead, I guess I have to face reality. So I thought I'd introduce myself and join you guys as I've never gone overdue and will most likely have an August baby. Plus I hit all my milestones well before the September ladies due my dd being the first and measuring ahead so I may be able to relate better with the late August ladies. Hope your pg are going fantastic! See you at the finish line.

Welcome KMac!:) I am in a similar boat. I have three girls, who were all 2 weeks early. Since the forth girl is due August 2nd, my guess is she will arrive late July. This group is wonderful and very supportive, so I am sure you will enjoy this very friendly and chatty group of ladies. Make sure to ask CLynn to add you to our Facebook page if you haven't done so already. It's fun to see everyones pics there. Congrats on being team pink!!!
 
Welcome KMac, congrats on your little girl.

Hi everyone else! I have been absent for a while. Have been so busy with work and with what little time I had to come online I was finding it so hard to keep up with everyone. Congratulations on all the team pinks and blues who have found out in the last few weeks!!

How is everyone?

I can't believe I'm 22 weeks. My pregnancy felt stalled around 18 weeks, but now seems to be rocketing along. I had my 20 week scan the Thursday before last and it was such a wonderful experience. The little one was so active, the sonographer struggled to get all the measurements. She's looking perfect though (and still a she!), so now I am so excited and ready to get to the birth :haha: long wait! I'm really sad I won't have any more scans now, but I don't want to have a 3D/4D one, as I want the first time I see her face to be when she's in my arms. My bump is starting to pop a little bit now, earlier than it did with my son. I look how I did when I was around 26 weeks with him.

Hope you're all well!

Squirell I was feeling exactly the same at 18wks and now 22wks and time seems to be flying by! My next milestone is v-day and then 3rd tri x
 
I'm looking forward to V-day too! Should be here before I know it, as it's at the end of my two week holiday from school and school holidays always fly by!

I had one boon leak a little...but it was only once and hasn't since.

Hope it isnt too bad for you!


Welcome kmac!
 
So excited! Just found out yesterday, I'm on team blue! :blue:


Can't wait to meet our little man in four months! I'm all over the place! :happydance:
 
Vday is when? 24 weeks?
This baby is rocking and rolling inside me - I can actually see my stomach moving outside! I love feeling every kick and roll over and movement. Bummer thing happened though - I lost a pair of pants! How does that happen? Weird. I'm hoping they're at the gym and someone turned them in.
 
I believe V-day is 24 weeks. Technically the baby could survive now if born, but only has a 10-35% chance. 24 weeks is considered 'viability day' because there is about a 40-70% chance of survival, so better odds.

Even 24 weeks is scary though... when my son was born at 33 weeks the nurses had me crying in my labor/delivery room. Scaring me to death about all the 'what ifs'. He turned out to be perfectly fine, just small and way too early, but still, as much as I wanted to hold him in my own arms, I would have preferred if he'd of stayed in there just a tad bit longer :)

We're doing everything possible to make sure this one stays in there... and it's a pain in the butt, literally! lol but I'm getting used to OH giving me shots every Monday... I dread it but once he's done, we say 'On to next week!' lol helps make time go faster :)
 
I think the thing with V-day is that after 24 weeks they have to give all the medical care they can to help your baby, but before then, they might not always do so. It's up to the hospital's discression and many hospitals don't feel a baby born before 24 weeks can survive so they don't try to save them. I have heard a couple of horrific stories where babies have struggled to breath when they were born, but weren't helped to do so because they were before 24 weeks. It's scary and I think that's why women are relieved when they get to 24 weeks as they know doctors will try and save their baby if they are unfortunately born far too soon. The odds of survival still aren't great :( but the good thing is the rates increase week on week steadily and every added day feels like a huge achievement. I was at risk for premature labour last time after 25 weeks (when I had threatened labour) and I became intimately aware of the survival rates by week. They rise quicker than you think!

Thanks CLynn for explaining what "v day" stands for. While reading posts I was trying to figure out what everyone was talking about (my mind immediately thought "vagina day"! Lol). Had a prenatal appointment today and my OB confirmed that baby Brooklyn is still sitting very low, which explains the pressure I've been feeling in my pelvis; especially when I am walking. I swear, sometimes it feels like she's stepping on my cervix! Doc said not to worry and that she just likes it down there better. Still a bit scary since I have been having Braxton Hicks for a month now (so early!). Also had some spotting after DH and I BD'd Saturday night. Didn't have any of this with my other three pregnancies. Or maybe I am just extra paranoid this time around...:dohh:
 
V day is for 'viability' day. :)
I have a friend who had her boy at 28 weeks.... Scary early!

And braxton hicks happen all the time from the beginning, though the early ones aren't easily detectable is all! :)

All is well down here. We sold our old house in the old town, and they take possession on Monday! And now we are just waiting to hear back about an offer we put on a wee place up here, cos I am going stir-crazy living with my in laws...! Lol. I soooo wanna nest more! Ugh.

I can feel baby wriggling all the time, and can see my tummy moving from the outside too. I love how much earlier I have felt them this time; the difference between an anterior placentra last time, and a posterior one this time has made a huge difference! Love it.

Trying to think of a boys name still!! I have a few I prefer but nothing I love. I have a girl name I adore though.

We are having trouble with a boy name too. I always have had a quite a few girls names that I like, but never a boys name I was crazy about. Maybe it is because I never thought I would need a boys name! My oldest daughter keeps coming up with crazy names!
 
This is baby #4 for me, and with the first three, I didn't feel ANY Braxton hicks until I was like 30+ weeks. Yes, all pregnancies are different, but considering I am in my 40's now having this one, of course I am going to be a little nervous, especially with her nestled super low in my pelvis.

We are finding it hard to pick a boys name as well I had my heart set on a girls name but we found out bump is a boy and we have nothing! Me and DH have a list of names we like but I can't find one I love! We have middle names but can't find a 1st name!! Now everyone keeps asking if we have a name and when I tell them no they come up with names for me like my mum wants us to call baby Joseph because her name is Jo! I just want to tell at her 'I don't love that name' and my dad and DH keep coming up with silly names. My dad keeps telling me names of old footballers he liked and DH has come up with Spartacus and Ganacus!!x
