@Kwaggy I'm sure it was amazing seeing her for that long. I know I'm so curious about what's going on in there! I'm looking forward to the gender scan because I assume it will last a little longer than the other scans I had.

@daddiesgift You must be getting so excited for your scan! It's almost here!

3 full more days till we go! I was feeling girl but now I'm totally stumped! Think because my scan at 12 weeks she showed me the crotch but I couldn't tell now I keep thinking why at 12 weeks we she give me a peek if there wasn't something to peek at! So ever since then I'm doubting girl and thinking boy guess in three days we'll know! Not sure if we will tell everyone then or at anomaly scan at 21 weeks. Guess it depends how much they convince me of their guess!!

I really trust that the lady giving mine will be accurate because they told me she worked at my obgyn's office for 18 years, was never wrong, and would not predict without being completely sure. They said I could come back until she was sure too. I still feel nervous that it could be wrong. However, I'm sure it won't be wrong. I plan to give it a guess based on the scans I've seen online too.

I think we plan to tell people after we find out, but we may tell them it's our early scan and we will check again in January. I think we would keep it to ourselves if it wasn't right before Christmas because grandparents want to know what to buy. We will probably make the actual announcement to everyone else after the scan because grandparents are the only ones who know still.

I'm sure you'll get a great scan! I'm so excited to find out!

Sine we're kinda on the topic... Any gender guesses based on this chub's face? We had our 3D scan today!! Baby would not wake up for nothing or no one! After a can of coke and the 30 candy suckers the tech gave me, still not barely a wiggle lol good luck at your gender scans ladies!

 

[mummy2o]

Ourlilflu: I honestly have no idea. I couldn't even make a guess! Cute baby though!

Daddiesgift: You never know it might be a girl. Are you hoping for a girl this time? I forgot if you've already mentioned this. I have really bad pregnancy brain right now and I called my feet hands, the freezer and oven, and phoned the electric company to pay my water bill! My son just looks at me as I'm mad and says no mummy that's xxx if he knows what I was saying.

AFM I have the midwife in 4 hours. Yay. Also I hit double digits today. Yay. But the even more exciting news, I booked up the steam train and I'm seeing Father Christmas on the 15th. I think I'm more excited than DS. They were more than helpful which was great. They are getting him a special Thomas the tank engine book, rather than a present for a 6 year old. They are closing a table off just for him, so he doesn't have to sit with someone else. They are letting him get on the train first and they are going above and beyond to cater for their needs. Best £24 I spent to see the old man, plus an hour train ride. Couldn't be better! On a Christmas note, who's almost done with Christmas shopping? I've got my OH's dad and nephew then I'm done. Minus the extra bits your see and decide DS must have that or his Christmas won't be complete. If your not a mum yet, you'll know what I mean next year.

Hi everyone! I've been away for a couple weeks and trying to catch up!

Welcome to the second trimester Hopeful!! Hope your LO cooperates next week for you! And have fun telling people...we really loved that part! To answer a question from a couple pages back (I was really behind!)- we asked my doctor at our first appt (10 weeks) the chances of having a successful pregnancy. She said once you hear a healthy heartbeat its a 97% chance of having the baby (or otherwise.. A 3% chance of miscarriage or stillbirth).

AFM..baby boy is moving like crazy! He's getting himself into a sleep pattern so I've learned when to expect him awake and can tell his lazy sleepy movements from his active awake ones. DH still hasn't felt him move but baby is shy and will stop anytime he puts his hand on my belly. Lol.

He had a soft marker hit at our US a couple weeks ago. Went to doctor yesterday and he wasn't impressed by their measurements. Apparently just a short femur doesn't tell you amything- you need the humerous bone and others in order to diagose. He is sending me to the high risk specialist on the 11th for a growth check and a new panel of measurements. They will tell us that day what is going on. So thankful to have an action plan that will end in answers. Its been a rough few weeks.

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[daddiesgift]

Three days left!!

We want a girl since this is our last baby and we already have two boys. We will see!

 

[KatyW]

Kksy9b - I hope that you get answers at your next appointment and can relax before then. I am sure it is hard to have to wait for answers.

Hopeful - wow 2nd trimester!

Daddiesgift - Very close to your gender scan!

 

[ALiKO]

kwaggy- aww shes so cute! definitely looks like DH though, they have the same nose . and you are glowing girly. won't be much longer till you can meet your lil girl

hopeful- welcome to the 2nd tri! won't be long now until you start feeling tightenings and movements . also i hope baby cooperates at scan

daddiesgift- i hope baby cooperates for you at your scan. i had my scan at 16wks 6days and baby was sleeping and would not cooperate for a potty shot . hope your baby is more willing to show the goods, but either way it will be really good to see lil one again.

ourlilflu- aww your baby is soo cute! i cant really tell what gender it may be but i will say that either way it will either be a really cute boy or a really cute girl

kksy9b- hoping all goes well and you get the answers your looking for

mummy2o- yay for double digits and steam train rides! enjoy!

 

[ALiKO]

AFM i have been feeling baby move on a daily basis pretty much since 16wks which is a great feeling i really enjoy it . i have a scan coming up on the 14th of this month which is my 20wk scan i'll be 20wks 6days. really hoping that this time i can find out the gender. so yea i have'nt been really active or updating in awhile because nothing has been going on. things are pretty boring on my end .

 

[Hopeful2014]

@OurLilFLu Those are beautiful scans! I'm not sure about gender. I was trying to look at the skull to see if it looked more like a girl or boy, but it's hard to tell! Baby does have a super cute smile in the first photo though!

@mummy2o I think the train ride sounds cool. Do you ride it and see Christmas lights during it and it leads to Santa? I'm so glad they will make sure he has a good time on the train. I'm halfway finished with Christmas shopping. I usually finish much earlier than now, but I'm a bit behind. We did put our tree up and decorate the house today! How did everything go with the midwife?

@kksy9b Thanks sooo much! I've been waiting desperately to get to the second trimester! Thanks for that statistic too! I'm trying to make myself believe it's real and knowing the gender will help a little. I've always been curious about baby's sleeping pattern. Does he sleep a lot or is it when you're resting too or also when you're moving around? I hope your husband gets to feel him soon. I know my husband will be excited about that! I'm so sorry they have you worried. I really hope it's nothing and it very well could be nothing since the other person seemed to not measure everything correctly. I think they should be a bit more sympathetic and know that their words mean a lot to us.

@daddiesgift The days are passing!!!

@KatyW Thanks!! It seemed like it would never get here, but I'm beyond thrilled that it did! How are you? Are you still having some sickness?

@ALiKO Thanks! I hope I start to feel baby around 16 weeks too! I think that will really make me feel better because I'll have an actual feeling of it being real! I really hope we are able to see gender at the scan. They say she's amazing at doing the scans and she has been really good for the other scans I've had. You're right though; it's at least a great chance to see baby again. Otherwise I would have to wait until January and I don't know that I could take it. I really hope you get to find out baby's gender at your scan!

 

[daddiesgift]

Aliko- thanks! It's just a place that does private scans for gender and 3D shots so they said if they can't tell or baby not right spot I just come back in a week for free for them to try again! Lets hope that's not the case as its over an hour drive to get to this place!

Up while its still dark out as my toddler woke begging for cake. Arg why did we ever let him know cake exists!!

 

[melann13]

@ Hopeful, I think I started to feel LO for sure around 18 wks, little things before that, but I was never sure. Many people complain that baby starts to rock and roll at bed time. So far I have felt her a little bit at night, but when I get up in the morning she's sleeping, and seems much more active in the afternoon and early evening. Hopefully that means she already has good patterns! It's 7:45am here and she's been awake since about 7 I think.

 

[magicwhisper]

still havent felt any movements yet

ive been ill most of 2nd tri so far

glad everyone else is ok

 

[Hopeful2014]

@daddiesgift Today's the day!

@melann13 What did those first movements feel like? I've heard like popcorn popping or bubbles, but I'm not sure how that would actually feel. I can't wait!

@magicwhisper I hope you start to feel better soon. Is it sickness or morning sickness that's bothering you?

 

[daddiesgift]

Hehe nope TOMORROW is the day! 21.5 hours to be exact.

 

[magicwhisper]

i bet you are excited


the last couple of days it was food poisoning, before that a migraine on top of that really bad heartburn ... it is one thing after another

 

[Hopeful2014]

@daddiesgift We've been locked indoors for the past two days because of a freezing rain/ice and snow storm. The days are blending at this point! Tomorrow is the day!

@magicwhisper I hope you feel better soon. I know food poisoning would be really hard when pregnant.

Thanks Hopeful! Today is a better day and I feel like things will be fine... it was just a strange week last week. Baby sleeps more than he is awake but he's in a pretty set pattern during the day. He hasn't woken me up yet so I'm not sure how active he is at night. However, the more active you are it seems the more baby will sleep (walking around acts like a rocking motion to them). Likewise, that's why a lot of babies are more active at night while mom is resting. A lot of it though depends on your LO's personality

As far as first movements go, for me it was more like muscle twitches (if you've had eye twitches before, like that, but in the abdomen). Hopefully just a few more weeks before you feel them!

OurLilFlu - no idea on gender but what a cute cute baby you have! nice job on staying team this whole time!

daddiesgift- any news??

 

[daddiesgift]
