13 weeks for me today
That means second tri!
Had our scan on Monday and all was looking fine. Nice low NT fold thickness - just waiting for the corresponding blood result to tell us we're low risk.
Aimee, I'm really pleased for you that you've got the OK for your birthing unit. I know you were planning to have Earl there but I can't remember if you actually did in the end - did you?
Sadly, Derbyshire's two birth units, one of which is a flagship model for similar units all over the country, are both being closed in July as "cost-saving measures". I don't think it will take the PCT too long to realise that a vast increase in hospital birth numbers will
not cut costs, and the potential increase in PND and other similar conditions in parents who haven't been given the amazing postnatal support that our birth units currently give will also start to show up in the community costings.
I am currently booked for Chesterfield (which is where Monty was actually born in the end, because of meconium in my waters), and I guess it's as good as I'm going to get in terms of "natural" but in hospital. They have a MW-led unit separate from the consultant-led unit, and there are six birthing rooms, five of which have a pool, so at least I should still get to start in the water if that's what I want.
Sorry, I'm rambling here. I guess I should be posting all of this in one of the trimester threads ;-)
but we were dealing with night terrors from 11-14 months 
poor kiddos! milo loves Monsters Inc. but i dont think he's aware they're "monsters". i guess it works in our favor 
when do you think you'll have the baby?
Why can't he do that in the daytime? lol
hope you can get the birth you plan on 
as well for Aimee 
when we have a 3rd i want to use a midwife instead of my regular doctor. hopefully i'll make it more natural this time around. but i did much better with going natural with Ava than i did Milo 
At what point did having another seem like a good idea! lol
