Just booked this morning to finder out gender today @ 3.10,so excited
Anyone else finding out today or this week?
Hope everyone doing great and loving their bumps..
Hey hun, I have heard that its fairly common to shirk a bit as the uterus moves up so less pronounced. If you're worried can you call your midwife?
I just rang mine up as had a tiny bit of spotting yesterday, no enough for me to worry about and go to the hospital but enough to warrent a phone call. Had no idea what the procedure was for non urgent things- gp? hospital? midwife?..... hospital even for none urgent symptoms. Have to give them a call up and then they will decide if you need to come in. I also asked about my weight and she wasnt worried either, even when i said my sister has type 1 diabetes- as long as Im not loosing weight they are happy.
Im also going to have a little rant while Im here. I saw my 23yr old sister this weekend who lives about 2 hours away from us so we dont see her and her bf often. They also live with his parents so gets awkward sometimes to have conversations etc.... anyway. She has endometrios which is a condition which may affect her fertility. Its been confirmed about 4 months ago that she isnt infertile and while it will probably take a while to get pregnant she should be able to having children naturally. (Thought I needed to give some background history). So I saw her this weekend for 2 hours- not one question about how im feeling, or about the bump I now am sporting, when is my next scan, when do i find out the sex of the baby. Absolutely nada. My little sister was in the room and listened to the hb on the doppler we have- Little sister then asked if my 23yr old sister wanted to listen to her niece/nephew and honestly if she could have not done it without being rude she wouldnt have bothered. So annoyed to not even be asked "how are you".
I know that LO is all exciting for us and its pretty much all i think about but even common curtesy dictates a "you're looking well" or something along those lines. Jealously? Probably but still peeved off.
19 weeks today which means we're one step closer to the midway mark! and scan in 11 days!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a doppler sigh and can find a good heartbeat also I have felt it move since 14 weeks. Some days are quiet some are not. I am just finding it impossible to relax this pregnancy and can't actually get my head round the fact that I will get a healthy baby at the end of this.
I am 39 so slightly higher risk. I have a 14 and a 16 year old, both are fine. This time around though I had 3 pregnancies since September 2011. First was miscarriage at 5 weeks 2nd was miscarriage at 7 weeks but scan showed it had stopped growing at 5 weeks. It took until I had my 12 week NT scan this time for me to believe that there was actually a live baby in there. I truly expected it to have died earlier again. I also was sure I would have a high downs % but was 1:2800 (great for my age!!).
Now I am struggling to believe that it is healthy and going to make it. I am either expecting to be told it has some severe disability at 20 week scan or that it will go on to be born with complications.
Oh my goodness......to be honest I hadn't realised how much I am worrying until I wrote all this down. The few people that do know (close family and work colleagues who had to know) think its odd that I am not telling people yet and that I am still trying to cover the little bump. I just think I don't want anyone to know because it will be hard to tell them if something is wrong?
Am I crazy??? How can I get my mind set that I am having a baby girls?????
Oh you aren't crazy! This is my 1st and I spent so much time fearing/expecting something to go wrong... I still cry before every scan out of fear.
Toothfairy I am totally with you. Constant worrying and I have barely any reason to at all. SOme days I feel some movement, others I do not. My bump is shrinking and I'm peeing a little less and overall I just feel non pregnant most days. I'm just so convinced that I have bad luck or that I somehow don't deserve to have a good pregnancy with a healthy baby as a result. It's so hard for me to relax and enjoy and we haven't bought anything for baby. DH just painted baby's room this weekend and I'm hoping I'll have the guts to buy the furniture if my scan goes well on the 20th.
I'm sure, like me, everything is probably fine with your baby and we are just worrying ourselves for no reason. I also hope that our scans will put our minds at ease and we can both start buying things and enjoying the remainder of our pregnancies.
