Im trying to get them online but my phone will not sync for some bizarre reason!

 

[Smudgelicious]

I had the most bizarre dreams this morning !! Well, no more bizarre than all the other ones I guess but just really weird ......and I want to tell you guys about it and see what you think ..

I was pregnant and had been told that I was going to lose the baby. I was 19 weeks and all I can remember about that part is the faceless doctor telling me it was too early to do anything and to go home and wait it out. I remember feeling panicky and heartbroken. Then the next thing I remember is looking into a toilet bowl and there was a tiny, tiny, (looked like the length of my finger) baby face down but kicking its legs. I pick it up and roll it over and all of a sudden it's more baby size but still really really small and it's eyes are open, it's breathing and it's a boy ! I ring the hospital (?) or suddenly I'm there and there is a bitchy midwife who says 'you must have been further along than you thought'. Noone would help us, but everything was ok.

Weird eh ??

Then I dreamed that I had to look after a friends baby boy on a weekend trip to visit my family. He was Asian looking and very fat. There was a couple of carloads of us, but no room so I had to sit in a pram (!) and hold onto this huge fat baby while we went 100 miles an hour down the freeway. Apparently this was totally normal, though I was terrified and I could feel the baby slipping out of my arms because of the speed we were doing. A man wearing roller blades and pushing a very fancy pram zoomed past us at one point. Eventually the speed was so fast and I had almost no control so I steer off the road. At this point the dream became very weird, involving my Granddad who died last year, being chased by alien dinosaur things and running to catch a train.

So....am I completely bonkers or what ??!

Hi girls. How is everyone

I have my 20 week scan at lunchtime tomorrow!!! Cannot beleive I an finally half way through. I am really anxiopus though as I have felt very littel movement from bubs so amd worried there maybe something wrong. Midwife has tried reassuring me that everyhting is normal but dont think I will be able to relax until i see bubs on the screen and know eveyting is ok.

I am still plaaning to stayeam yellow but there is a little bit of me that would quite like to know. So will just have to see how i feel when i arrive at the scan tomorrow!!

 

[VGibs]

Smudge - No not bonkers....I had a dream that I dyed my babys hair pink and blonde and got a call from child services because I was ubnfit because I dyed her hair. I think our insecurities are magnified in our dreams!

Is anyone else having bad headaches??? I am having mind crushing horrific headaches almost on a daily basis. My blood pressure is fine and everything has checked out ok but for some unknown reason I am just in so much pain and am so bleepin uncomfortable! I asked my midwife and she said it was probably de-hydration. (WTF? SERIOUSLY?)

My 20 week scan is on the 14th and oh baby I hope I see a little hoo-hoo or pee-pee!

 

[mommydelux]

I'm almost half way!!! congrats to those of you who are half way!
Just checking in - everyone still ok and dealing with ups and downs of pregnancy?

 

[VGibs]

Hey! Where is everyone???? haha My 20 week scan is tomorrow so I hope I can find out if I have a boy or a girl on my hands!

 

[Beanbabe]

Lots and lots of luck for a good view tomorrow V. I know you really want to find out so Im hoping bubs will co-operate.

Smiler - how did you get on. Did you find out if you are pink or blue or did you stay yellow?

This week is when we found out Matthew had gone so feeling very emotional and a bit scared. Im hoping that maybe after this week has passed I will be more relaxed. Have my anamoly scan on 28th sept - roll on then.

Good luck V. Cant wait to see your blue or pink update

 

[Smiler79]

Hi girls.

Scan went really well thank you. Everything looks ggod and baby is perfect size for my dates!!! I was very good and stayed team yellow. Bob obviously did not want mummy and daddy to know as had legs crossed!!!!

I am glad I ressisted though as I am really lookign forward to the surprise.

V - hope all goes well today and that baby is cooperative for you to find ount the sex.

Beanbabe - thinking of you this week as it must be sohard for you. I am sure all is well with this little one but does not make losing little Matthew any easier. You are in my prayers hun.

 

[mommydelux]

V - how'd your scan go?

 

[VGibs]

Well everything looks good...except the baby was lying spine up so they couldnt get good measurements so they are doing it again in 2 weeks. And sadly...the little monster was not in a mood to show us the goods. So I am still team yellow My OH is SO dissappionted

 

[Smiler79]

HI girls

V- glad scan went well and at least you have another chance to try and find out the sex of bubs.

I started feeling proper kicks yesterday!!!! It is amazing!!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone else is well xxx

 

[Smudgelicious]

Hi all ! Sorry I've been a bit slack, I'm a bit distracted and lazy......

Good news on the scans V and Smiler ! I'm going back today for my second attempt at the anomaly scan because they couldn't quite see everything last time. I actually FORGOT about the appt, I thought it was next week, so I haven't had time to stress !

I keep thinking I feel little movements, but then I always chalk them up to gas. At my last appt, the doc said I wouldn't feel anything huge until 22-23 weeks because my placenta is blocking everything right now.

In another few weeks, we're going to start having V-DAYS !!!! Amazing, given our rocky unsure starts wondering about HCG levels and first scans......

 

[mommydelux]

Hiya ladies!

good news on all the scans - Smudge, let us know how thins went?
been feeling the Olive kick like CRAZY for the past 3 weeks now. Unlike my DS, this one prefers sleeping at night and moving all day long (as long as i'm seated at my desk)....
can't wait for V-day to arrive! have a 20 week scan on 27 Sept (will be little over 21 weeks though).

Has anybody heard from Kit lately? she's been VERY quiet. everything ok Kit?

 

[VGibs]

Ok...what is a V-day???? haha Am I thick or what?

 

[Smiler79]

V- day is viability day! It is getting to 24 weeks i think

 

[mommydelux]

LOL - yes, Viability day means that should your baby be born at 24 weeks or after - he/she - with specialised medical care upon birth and subsequent months meant to be inutero - can survive. i think the odds are a % and every week bubs stays put after week 24 the % increases. I have a friend who's baby girl was born smack on 24 weeks and is a healthy 3 year old today!!

 

[VGibs]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now I see

 

[mommydelux]

*****Warning TMI *****

it feels like the olive is kicking me in the vjj . i knew baby was low lying but OMG -i'm sat in a meeting right now and literally gasped when the olive let rip with a series of kicks!!

anyone else getting kicked so low? i get no movement at the top of my bump. OB says the placenta is on top of baby - like a blanket - which he says is ideal position. but being kicked in the vjj is certainly not ideal ...
